The Charlie Sheen Mega Episode! Various segments and highlights from when Jason, Mikey, and Carlos Vieira spoke with Charlie Sheen about addiction, sobriety, the Tiger Blood times, finding out he is HIV positive as well as his famous roles in Two and A Half Men, Major Leauge, and more.

Charlie Sheen opens up about the breakdown that was front and center in the public eye. "Winning" "Tigers Blood" and what was really going on in his life at that point. With long-term sobriety and a new way of life, Charlie opens up about the first time he tried a substance at the age of 10.

Charlie shares what it was like growing up the son of a famous actor, Martin Sheen as well as the sibling of Emilio Estévez. When did his loved ones first intervene to help Charlie understand that he had a problem? Stories of partying or working with Rob Lowe, George Clooney, John Cryer, Nicolas Cage, Micheal Dougless, Laura Dern, and others.

We talk about the steps towards sobriety, his relationship with his father now, and stories from the set of some of his films and Two and A Half Men. How did he feel about being replaced by Ashton Kutcher and what are his career aspirations now?

We also talked with Charlie Sheen about the advancements in technology for HIV treatment and research. Charlie details how the new treatment is equivalent to treating diabetes, and he’s slowly winning the fight. He had to experiment with a couple of combinations of medicine to eventually find out what was right for his body and symptoms.

He describes the painful process of going through a spinal tap treatment, to get a clear diagnosis of what he was battling. There was a moment when Charlie felt like “Why Me?” “Can I Go on?”, but then he took a step back and realized it’s not something like an inoperable brain tumor, it could be treated.

Post-sobriety and post-diagnosis, Charlie talks about interacting with his family with a fresh mindset and new attitude. It was refreshing for him to not have any hindrances or things that were distracting him from being the best father he could be.

Some of the memories of the lowest moments in Charlie’s drug-using days are the things that keep him sober these days. He keeps the memories close, as a constant reminder to himself to stay sane, contribute, and be available to the people he cares about the most. Also, hear what album & movie Charlie chooses to be stuck on an island with.
