#2378 - Charlie Sheen

Joe Rogan (0:03)

The Joe Rogan Experience. Trained by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day. Great to finally meet you, Matt.

Charlie Sheen (0:14)

It's great to meet you. It's a trip, and, you know, walking in, and I'm thinking, is there, how is it possible that our paths didn't cross all those years? I mean, it's conceivable we were in the same venue or the same building or at the same party or at least something.

Joe Rogan (0:32)

I kind of avoided parties. I avoid basically everything. I avoided parties. I avoided premieres. Anything where there's a red carpet. Like even if I was in a movie, I wouldn't go on the red carpet. I'd go into the back door.

Charlie Sheen (0:50)

Seriously?

Joe Rogan (0:50)

Yeah, I don't like it. Wow. I don't like all that fucking, look over here, look over here. That is just too fake for me. It just whatever allergy I have to that flares. And I'm like, I'm going into the back door. Fuck this.

Charlie Sheen (1:03)

Yeah, no, I don't blame you. I don't blame you. They stopped showing me where the back door was because I support a similar entrance thing.

Joe Rogan (1:17)

It's just too weird.

Charlie Sheen (1:18)

But it's that, look over here, look over here. It's that thing. Something happens in that moment. And I think it's like it brings you as close to possibly sterilization as you can get without surgery.

Joe Rogan (1:32)

I think it's bad for you.

Charlie Sheen (1:33)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:34)

I think it's like radiation.

Charlie Sheen (1:36)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:36)

You could take a little bit of it, but you don't want to be working the X-ray machine your whole life.

Charlie Sheen (1:40)

No, no. And then there's always that one lady who keeps calling you back to her.

Joe Rogan (1:44)

Charlie, Charlie.

Charlie Sheen (1:45)

Right, right, right. Far left, far left, far left. And you've looked at her like seven times already. And then I'm out there thinking, if it took me this many takes to get a scene right, nobody would ever hire me. You wouldn't get past the first day.

Joe Rogan (2:00)

Well, they want to get a million pictures just to get that perfect one with just a little bit of side eye to you, just a little something, a little purse of the lips, a little something.

Charlie Sheen (2:08)

The one that kind of like you're responding to something.

Joe Rogan (2:10)

Yeah, that's the one.

Charlie Sheen (2:11)

Yeah. But then they chew. Which one do they always choose? The one that's absolute dog shit.

Joe Rogan (2:16)

Yeah, the one with your mouth open.

Charlie Sheen (2:17)

Exactly. Or your eyes closed.

Joe Rogan (2:20)

Yeah, yeah. What I really don't like is the people who like it. Not that I don't like them, is that I don't want to ever see that in myself. And so when I'd be around them, I would just go, oh, I got to get out of here.

Charlie Sheen (2:33)

Right, right, right.

Joe Rogan (2:34)

Freak me out. The trappings.

Charlie Sheen (2:36)

The trappings, yeah. Yeah. I mean, is there, because it feels like that system's been in place for over 100 years, right? Is there another, is there another way to do it?

Joe Rogan (2:49)

Probably not. People like it. You know, photographers like it. The press likes it. It's a big thing. There's a lot of people. There's a lot of lights flashing. It seems legit.

Charlie Sheen (2:58)

Right, right, right.

Joe Rogan (2:59)

Yeah.

Charlie Sheen (3:00)

I just I know I can never feel relaxed when everybody's yelling.

Joe Rogan (3:05)

Right.

Charlie Sheen (3:06)

You know, that's totally unnatural. It's completely unnatural.

Joe Rogan (3:10)

The only way that would be happening in real life is if, like, you were on trial, you know, like you were being paraded in front of a bunch of people. It's him. There he is. Look over here. You know, it's odd. It's very odd.

Charlie Sheen (3:22)

Yeah. It's almost it's a form of a perp walk, isn't it?

Joe Rogan (3:25)

A little bit of a perp walk and just a little bit of a mental illness exhibition.

Charlie Sheen (3:31)

Right.

Joe Rogan (3:32)

You know?

Charlie Sheen (3:32)

Yeah. I just had it for the first time, like, last, it would have been last Thursday.

Joe Rogan (3:38)

The first time ever?

Charlie Sheen (3:39)

No, for the first time in, like, a long time. in, like, maybe over a decade at the Netflix premiere for the doc. Yeah.

It was kind of cool. Like the first, you know, 34 seconds. I was like, okay, I remember this. And then it was like, yeah, I fucking remember this. Wow. Damn. And then I'm in the, right the sun just beating right on my floor. And it's just, I could feel myself start to sweat. Now I'm questioning the whole outfit. You know, the underwear choice, all of it. It's just like, every decision I made leading up to that was completely wrong.
