and then throwing a tunic and storm the castle the next day. One year programs, you know. I know that sounds grim and it's not really progressive or passive parenting. I get that. But I just want them to feel the value of time. I had a privilege of reading book loved it the book of she and you guys are up for the book of she winning copies out say yes book of she and got it. Thank you. Thank you. And let me just add just because you've seen the doc doesn't mean that you don't need to read the book. Yes. Yes. There's a lot of shit in the book that's not in the dark. But then I think it's is worthy of of your time and energy. So any if you if I the privilege and I I couldn't recommend it more and if I the privilege of sitting and chatting with Mr. Sheen alone. I would ask him 600 questions. I'm not going to ask him here because I think they would be so fun and fascinating to like dig into. You know, and just a completely joyful voyeuristic way, but that wouldn't serve you or Mr. Sheen this moment. So I appreciate that. Yes. Yes. Yes. Thank you. And I I'm an adventurer to guess all these folks do as well. Yes. Yes. But I can say this. I get if you've done something that you could look back on and go, oh my God. I cannot believe I did that. Raise your hand and say yes. Yes. If you've done like 50 of those things say yes. Yes. So I would love to compete with you someday for who is done more stupid and crazy things. So and I think I might beat you. So yeah. Yeah. I would really think that. That was that was fighting words. Yes. Let's go. Let's go. So I could tell you a couple right now that you go. Dude, like really? I think you got me. Yeah. Yeah. So for everybody for real. We're in this beautiful place. I'm like unconditional love. We're bound to talk this lot. Charlie and space. I'm blinded because it's really funny when people what could you believe they did that. And before we ever say they did that. It's like, what did we do? How much do we squander? How much is screw up? And the net effect of anybody's life is to me when I'm hoping to look at and be inspired by. So we said it for you came out. I know if you hear us back there. But just acknowledging you for the transcendent level of impact you've created and all these beautiful things you've done. And what was fascinating for me in the book was when you did dug into in your childhood. I think it was you lived in the Philippines at some point during the filming of apocalypse now. Am I correct? Yes. Greg. Yeah. Yeah. Could you share like what was it like? And it was in the book was so beautiful. Imagine like Francis Ford Coppola. You know, Martin Sheen as father. Like they're living in a foreign land. I'm sure the in the book outline. Certainly the advanced level of your emotional intelligence, your presence to a different world because of your dad. And so but what was it like during that time? I thought it's so beautiful in the book and there was some challenging moments. You know, certainly for your dad, the family, other folks that were engaged and behavioral eccentricities in the world. Like what would you want to know about that and what did it mean to you? And click nothing. And like every question I'm here is only if you think that something valuable for your you and the group. But what was that like apocalypse now in the Philippines? And I think you were 14 when that was how is that married? I was 10. 10. I'm sorry. I was 10. Yeah. And I was there so long that I turned 11. Got it. Because the joke on the set about the title was that they were starting to call it apocalypse never. So yeah, I mean, Francis threw a party one day to celebrate one million feet of film being shot. Yeah. No, it was. It was interesting. It because we had we had traveled with dad to a lot of his other locations. But you still felt like we still felt like we were still. You know, close enough to home to that that that help was always. You know, just over the just over the know, you know, and. But in the Philippines, we we knew that we I think I described it in the in the book as an entirely un example culture. You know, we didn't know what we were getting into. And the film had to overcome so many obstacles and so many hurdles and and you know, from from natural disasters to you know, a very intense health crisis that my dad went through, you know, I had a heart attack making the movie. Right. But then recovered and still went and killed the curts. Talk about an example of an absolute badass, right? That's a lot to live up to. But yeah, no, it. And it's interesting. And the reason I spend a lot of time in the Philippines, on apocalypse in the book. Because it was a it was in a it was in a formidable. You know, transitional time for me, you know, and. Yeah, I, I, I just I, I kind of surrendered at one point that that's pretty much where we were just going to be living. That that's, you know, that we just put Malibu in our rear view and essentially it was just Manila or bust, you know. But yeah, I mean, I, I. It's difficult to really describe things. You know, yeah, just in a different way than I already did on the page, you know, and that's not like a cheat trick to say, well, now, you know, obviously you have to read the book to get the real story. But it's, what I, what I also think about with the apocalypse is then, you know, 10, 10 years later, going back to that same far away land to, to do platoon, which is an and and narrate it. And if you think about the odds of that happening, like the son of the guy a decade later does his own Vietnam saga and and narrates it. That's, I mean, what would you place the odds of that happening? Yeah, I like the age of the universe squared. Right. It's. Yeah. So I knew. And I don't really write a lot in the book about you know, the them the thematic or the emotional connections between. You know, those two movies. I think you saw. I think you felt this. reading the book or the audio book harbor that happened with that I don't want to tell the reader how they're supposed to feel about the things that I'm experiencing. And that's a fine line that you have to walk sometimes. And if I could, so thank you for going right there. And answer any part of your question. You know you certainly know that. Right now. That's what I wanted to just laid out was useless. Not even it was useless. Yeah. I'm sorry about that. I didn't even remotely. Not even really. Because that's exactly where I was going. Okay. Was the intersection of Apocalypse Now and Platoon. I got you. Okay. Cool. Yeah. And I had our AI agents helping prepare. I did. And what that would have been like and we don't need to go into this in this moment. But you your dad the meaning the possibility and definitely not trying to manufacture emotional moments. I won't do that. So but yes, the size of the universe squared the possibility of these two iconic films in the history of our nation depicting its deepest greatest darkest darkest struggles in war. And Martin Cheen, Charlie Cheen being in these just preposterously impactful movies. Am I hearing you correctly? What was the last thing you said? Am I hearing you correctly? Yes, yes, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. So sorry, there's a feedback loop. Oh, sorry. No, we're kind of fine. Yeah. So your transition from the Philippines into and through your high school years, you have your what the eight camera? What is that called the super eight? Super eight camera. Roblo, Sean Penn, filming, friendship, movies, things. How was that transition from like childhood into film? Maybe I think you were in your first film. Was it nine with your dad that you had an appearance and something? Or am I wrong about that? Yeah, that is correct. Yeah, it was a movie the week called the execution of private Slovak. Got it. Yeah. And then the progression into your film career. And actually, for you there, what now is the ultimate mission? You're here, you're everywhere currently. You're impacting the book, the Netflix documentary. What's the ultimate why behind it? I mean, of course, there's financial abundance, right? And there's generating value. But what's the meaning, the purpose, and from like this day, to the end? If anything, because some people I asked that question too, they'll say, just kind of believe each day and try to be happy and fulfilled. But is there this larger why that drives your heart or soul, please? Well, the larger why, as far as this moment right now, with the doc, with the book, and incidentally, two projects that weren't planned to happen simultaneously. They just timed out that way. But I'm grateful that they did, because I'm seeing it as an opportunity, not so much as a comeback, but as a reset. Just where, because there's still, there's a lot of people that may only remember me as the guy in a freaking bowling shirt or screaming winning. And so it's important for me that with this amount of exposure and all of it positive, doing so many appearances that people just get a sense that the guy is not insane. He kind of wandered off the res for about three or four months. And that was highly publicized. And that's all on me. I mean, it wasn't like I didn't know that there was a camera. You know what I'm saying? But so no, so it's a really cool moment for me right now to just deal with so much from my past and stuff that people knew and other stuff that I've revealed that nobody knew. And just to kind of push everything, just present it in a way where you can watch it, you can read it, you can listen to it. And then I feel coming out of this that I can really focus on just moving forward. You know, I'll be. Let's see how thank you. Thank you. And and if I may, and why? Like so yes, it's first of all so valuable what you're doing. Thank you. It really is because everybody in this room has suffered from times that they've lost center a bit. By the way, Michael Johnson, Michael Smichen, Adam Gagino, Friend of Valencia, if we played the audio and video of me in Atlantic City with the episode for the commercials for the Aspire event and heard me the entire time and had the video of my pants being around my ankles as I was screaming yelling, do you think that the world would think I'm same? Michael Johnson. Right. So and I think this is a part of it. Like you just you're just on film more, you know, like and these things are captured more. And so I'm curious, you know, in my heart for you know, you shared this piece. How much do you think this is just people overreact when people are famous and fundamentally over emphasize a moment of challenge that they themselves have probably been in their life. Like you know, so I'm whatever however you relate to, so you relate to it. But whether it's about you or just celebrities, athletes, Hollywood folk, anybody that's caught on camera in a moment. Like how much do you believe in your heart that it's just this overstated distortion of reality that the public creates versus yeah, it's like the human condition. I know any thoughts. Yeah, no, I think we're we're living in a time where everybody's really has a thirst for the next spectacle, you know. But that but there's there's more it feels like there's more of that today. And I think just because it's it's it's it's so easily documented. You know, it I mean, how many how many cameras are in this room right now trip over a thousand right? So, but I think there's another there's another element that that comes into play with with with the amount of attention or or or the amount of focus that that is given to one event or or a particular individual, you know, I use myself as an example. I think it had a lot to do with with a a multi generational connection that I that I had built over the years through through film through television of a of a relationship right. That that that that does in some way build a trust between an audience and and and the person that they're drawn to the person that the talent they're rooting for. So I think there was something in play when I, you know, had that had that brand departure from all things saying. I think people felt they were curious as hell, but I think they were also they were concerned for my health, but they also felt in a way almost let down like like I had I had I had broken some covenant or some something that that that we had spent years developing. Is that is that makes sense? Yes, that's right. Yeah, okay. Yes, yes. Yeah, and I think I think that was a part of it, which I think is also connected to the reception and the and the compassion and the love and the excitement that I'm encountering with this this return this you know, this invite that's been extended back to back into the fold, you know, so yeah, I I feel like people have missed me. Yes. Wes. Amen. So tell so thank you. Yeah, thank you. So I'm not wrong in feeling that. Right. You're okay. Okay. So thank you. Thank you. So why? What why I have my own ideas about why people love you and appreciate you and value, right? Yes, but what do you so because we and this is part of what we're here to teach, right? Is how people become influential and these are what we're here like trying to teach things. We are. We're not. Yes. So if if not, I could ask you about that night you wrote about in the book. I'm just kidding. Right. So we are. And what we're going to do. That's what I do for living. I got your personal offer and we teach people how to generate more financial abundance. Okay. More time, freedom and impact. And so I was on my way to going blind and being broke. I did not do it. My college base bookers captain the team thought that that was going to be a drafted that I've written on his pigmentosa, same I conditioned Steve when you know, quit background. And so I don't want to go blind to be broke. So I don't want to be a business person. I wanted to be an athlete wasn't going to happen. So I had to figure out how you do things and all of a sudden discovered marketing and sales were thing. I was horrified and disgusted. It's I thought marketing selling was gross and bad. And I was going to be a high school baseball coach football coach, but I didn't go blind and be broke and do that. So I had to figure out how to succeed. I want to either undergrad, I want to law school and nowhere could I find how to do that. So that was my search. It worked. I created massive freedom, my best financial abundance in my own little mini way. I became micro famous within certain ecosystems of business and opportunity, which is something I teach. So what we're here to do is to study that. And one of the principles we talk about in which a very codified mechanism, like we're a stand for the fact that we're the best in the world of teaching and doing this. I bet that with all kinds of fun people for codification of it, et cetera. So why say that is because you have, we all have a level of heroic, unique identity that causes people to be drawn to us. And so how I would describe your heroic and unique identity is that you are incredibly funny, brilliant, you're witty, right? You're loving. You've played heroic character. Is he died for your brother and you know, red dawn, you went for it in Wall Street, lost yourself, violated covenant with your father, resound it. You turned in the true evil doer of the movie, of course, Gordon Gecko. You reset yourself, you know, and then you went into comedy and television or podcast, I'm sorry, I'm so you have all of these, this various elements of your personality that show your resiliency, your wit, your, your diversity. So those characteristics are magnetic. Like that's not the same thing that you could say about a number of other mega Hollywood celebrities like yourself or Muhammad Ali or Sugar Ray Leonard. These are universal characteristics in that, you know, Joseph Campbell's hero's journey that you represent. And as you articulate a moment ago, and then you had your moment where you went off some of those characteristics went off the track. But of course, the hero's journey is about resiliency. So with the depth of love you've created for yourself, it isn't challenging because you had so much identity, so powerfully magnetized, then in fact, I think people love the comeback even more than they love you. Staying there the entire time. That's why after Ali lost a phrasier and comes back. So I see some of those elements, I don't see it, they're clearly demonstrated what your experience right now. This is like what we teach here. But what I'm curious about is how you relate to that. You know, do you, why do you think people love you? And like how in your loved, it's clear, I mean, obvious, right? You walked out of the street and we'll stop you there. It's your autograph. You're famous. You're one of the most famous people in America. That's absolutely true. It was true before the last couple of months. It's been true for much of your life. Why do you think that people, I give you some of my thoughts, you know, why do you believe people love you so much? Please. I think that there's been a consistency that I think folks, they, I think they applaud the fact that I've maintained a level of honesty that has been a through line from, you know, right when I started, you know, getting the attention and just never, never, never betrayed that, you know, if, if, if, if things went sideways, or you know, off the rails, whatever, I was, I was always the guy that owned it. I was always the guy that's here for that. You know what I'm saying? So thank you. Thank you. So, so I think, I think that's a big part of it because if you, if you look at that specific terrain in my industry, that's not usually the case, you know, people don't usually, they're usually looking to, you know, have a fall guy or some fantastical alibi that nobody believes, you know. So, I mean, that, that, that's just the main thing that comes to mind as far as the why. And I won't, I certainly will reveal any of the amazing, super interesting, inspiring, funny, crazy moments in the book. Thank you. Yes. But it is. And one of the things I didn't see in the book and maybe I messed it was you ever blaming anyone. So it consistent with what you're just sharing. It seemed that you were always presenting reality, sharing it, accepting responsibility, being so over transparent. But if anywhere the thing was pointed in the book, it was at yourself. Am I, am I recalting that actor 100% you are 100% yeah, because if I blame people, then I'm presenting myself as a victim. And there are, there are no victims in my book. That is a. Thank you. So is it also accurate to say that some of the things you say, you, first of all, do you feel comfortable saying things that you love about yourself or respect about yourself or proud of these words that are accurate? I don't want to like have an accurate question. So the things about yourself that you love and respect and are proud of, are there those things? I'm not the best person to rely on for, you know, accessing that, that, that type of stuff about myself. I, I think that's. I see others doing that and it's nothing that I'm, there's that's not something I'm drawn to, you know. But I, I mean, no, I, I do take credit for the accomplishments and, and, and the perseverance and the discipline and the focus and the longevity and all that stuff. When I, I don't ever really think about, gee, you know, I'm a good guy. I mean, I, I, I just based on the response of others. I'd like to think that, that there is a goodness that shines through, just in, just, you know, walking around just in my daily life, you know, how, how do you or not, if you don't mind, relate to the concept of self love, loving yourself. Like it doesn't, yeah, like how, how does that statement? Like, yeah, if somebody in the audience said, or someone said, Hey, I, love myself. Like, is that how do you relate to that or not? Just self love. I, I, I look at it more as if I'm doing things that I know are really healthy or positive or, or, or just, you know, that I'm tapped into a, into a frequency that, that I, I thrive inside of, I view that as a form of self love. I know, you know, so, but I don't, I don't like taking inventory at the end of the day, or, or really try to break things down before, before, before I, I've been, engage, you know, it's, you know, I should, I should, I should sign up for one of your seminars. For one of your, one of your programs, you know, yeah. If you think, if you think that we would have a lot of fun, Charlie and I say yes, that, so, so, yes, fire at LBI. So, and I am in awe to be sitting here. Oh, thank you. I pinch myself by being here. I'm really, I'm, it is a blessing. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for that. At the highest level I do. So, I'm just, you know, a kid that grew up in Jersey City and, you know, born in hospital with a, live in the house of my parents who divorced my grandfather was blind. So the thought of being here is, is a blessing. And it is also, I think, predictable for everybody here to learn how to do that. And that again is our work, which you are a stand for. And so from that place, you know, if, and again, I always ask, I don't want to presume things and questions that are accurate. Sure. But do you ever think about what you'd want to feel and think on your last day, if you're blessed and privileged to know was your last day, if you were to be spoken of a remember, are these things that you do think about, whether it's from a higher vibration or healthy place or just no place. So, or is it, does I do relate to people sometimes like, no, like my world, my life is about, you know, I just, I take it every day at a time, I try to live my best day and I keep it right here. How, like, what's that all about for you? Like, like, how, like what, how would I want to spend my last day? If I knew was the last day, no, no, if you, if you could fast forward to that day, I see. What would you want to accomplish between now and then, or you don't even, think that way or feel that way, you know, is there that for you and legacy to be? I actually fantasize about that more in a, in a comedic setting that, that the people that would be in the room, right? Then I could say to all of them, this is the day that I kept talking about to all of you, that all of that, all of that stuff that, that, that, you know, all of that time that you took from me, for me having to engage in your bullshit, you know, this is, this is the day when I really need that time back because the pose off is a, because, you know, with as much that, that, that was absconded with, this wouldn't be the last day, this would probably be my last month, you know, I hope that I am not in that camp. Oh, no, not even close, no, but I, but I do actually tell my sons, I tell them, you know, we're going to be on my deathbed and because I'm solving this thing for you again, we're not going to have as much time to say goodbye as you're going to wish that we did, you know, I know that sounds grim and it's not really being a progressive or passive parenting, I get that, but I just want them to feel the value of time, the value of time. So, you know, let's hear that. So, so, oh, and also, I'm not dying in a hospital. Okay, I'm not dying in a, I don't care what's going on, health wise. Where would you want to, where would you want to die? I'd be on a, on a, on a, on in tropical waters. Beautiful. What do you like to do? What do you like to do for fun? I'm sorry. What do you like to do for fun? Oh, we didn't finish the dying part. Oh, I'm sorry. Let's go back to, let's go back to dying. Yes. Yes. It's really bothersome. Yes, please. No, I just, I, I see people, I, yeah, I've seen people, people I love dying, hospitals and I, and I just, I've not, I'm just not, that's not, that's a picture I can't paint for myself. You know, so I would go somewhere beautiful with, with, with people I cared about and others I'd just met. And, and just, you know, keep an emergency dose of something if it got too painful. Yeah. You know, I mean, you got to plan ahead. Sure. Yeah. And just, just, you know, confronted on, on, on my terms. That's awesome. Even though you're in the moment where it's like you've, like the, the absolute, like the most grand example of, of not being in control of that moment, you know, Amen. But you know what? Yeah, maybe you spent a little more energy on the living stuff. Yes. On the stuff like right here right now. And, you know, it, it, like in a situation like today, you never really know what the moment is going to be until you're in the middle of it, you know? But today, I just, I, I, I wish to have more time again to have done a little more research. Just about, you know, what, what, what all of this is. I was, I was given the, I was given the cliff notes. I was given the cliff notes and, and, and, and given a, a, a, a pretty legit, deep dive into you, right? And so, and, and honored to, to be here and, and, and thank you. And it, so yeah. So this is a little bit on the fly, just kind of putting, putting the pieces together. So I'm not going to say I'm totally up to speed right now. But I'm getting closer. It's highly attached. Close. It's okay. Good. Yes. So, um, and I know as we, we draw towards our last few moments together, um, not on the planet. Jess, the fucking Jess. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But, okay. Okay. Good. I'm hoping. I hope it. Okay. Okay. Say, so, um, you are amazing. Oh, really? Like, you said, I were a fun and humor and wit. Like, you say, yes. So, okay. I said, how do you, what, what if anything? What's your training and humor? Was it natural model that you have somebody you looked after and taught? Picked up from on screen. Like, like, how would you support these people and getting some access to a micro fraction of the wit of Charlie. Oh gosh. Uh, thank you. No, I, I grew up in a, in a, in a very humor filled household. You know, my dad is a, is a, is a, is a, is a, is a, is just a jokester, you know? Um, and, and he'll always, he'll lead with humor. True. And then, and then, you know, decide based on whatever happens to be next. Um, but no, it was, um, it was just, it was, uh, the influences, um, I, I, I grew up on sitcoms. Um, I, I, I grew up on, um, you know, the, the, the comedic influences of, or some of your favorites, like Woody Allen and, and, and, and Mel Brooks. Um, and, you know, later on, um, you know, uh, George Carlin, uh, Rodney Dangerfield. Um, I mean, just like these geniuses, you know, um, but I, I always related to the straight man. You know, I, I had a ton of respect for, for, for the person for, for, for the clown or the jester, right? The zany. Yeah. Person with the, what handling that part of it. But, um, like, you know, my favorite character, um, I, I, I'm totally dating myself. Um, on Get Smart is the chief. Yeah. You say, Ed, flat, you know, so even if you, if you look at a lot of the comedy that I've done, I'm, I'm always the anchor. I'm the guy and then I have the storm and everybody else is that, that male storm that cyclone around me, you know, so that's, that, that's where I feel comfortable. That's where I feel, um, that there's, I'm, I'm much more attracted to, uh, the subtlety of humor, uh, and, and not like in a, you know, and, and, and, in an intellectual sense, but just in, in that this simplicity of it, um, if that, if that answers your question, go, thank you. Uh, and that's what we're here for. You know, we're here to dig into those types of elements. So thank you massively, uh, helpful. Oh, right on. Yeah. Awesome. So, um, any, like, what do you do for fun, um, and enjoyment? Get smart. That was not a joke. Fist it up. I mean, fun for me is a weird word because, um, there's been so many different, uh, definitions, uh, of that word, um, versions. I have no word. But then, yeah, what do I do for fun? What do I do for fun? I, I, I, I don't have to seek fun. There's always, there's, there's fun in everything that I do just by doing it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah. Um, yeah, because I never say, hey, if we do this, we're going to have fun. Um, because guess what happens? You never do. You get there and it sucks. And so I think just, uh, again, it's, it's, it's, I, I, I can find humor in everything. And even if it's just me in an internal private secret monologue, walking around, some of the jokes work, some of them suck, um, and, but it just, it keeps it light. And that doesn't mean that I'm not in the moment engaged, right? But it just, um, all the voices in my hand are, are all me, right? So it's not one of those things. Um, but, but, um, but yeah, there's, there's, there's, there's a lot of dialogue that, that, um, that is sort of a soundtrack to everything that I do. So that, that is fun for me. That's literally fun. And I guess this will be, I think that maybe if you have time for one question from audience, of course. Yeah. So is there a, hey, this would be something I like to have happen in the future, whether it be in projects, impact, is there anything like that? Or again, is it more just, hey, you're, you're rolling and like, how do you make decisions about where things go next? Like what project you're accepting is that fit into a larger, you know, sort of vision for Charlie Sheen, or like, project by, hey, that's cool. That's fun. Like that. Like, how does that fit together or not? Well, I, you know, it, um, for the first time in a very long time, um, I'm, I'm reading material that's at a, at a level I haven't, I haven't been, I haven't had access to in forever. Um, and I think what the, what the doc did that, that really helped is it, is it, it, um, took everybody through the filmic journey and through all the archival, the, the, the, you know, just to see, just to remind people that this thing didn't start out, um, it, you know, with comedic intent, you know, um, and so that's been a, um, really powerful and beneficial reminder to, you know, the folks I have to rely on to, to, to, to get work, right? Um, that there, that I, what I'm hearing now is that, that people are excited about me, returning to something, uh, dramatic, something intense, something, uh, you know, I've, I've, I've, I've never played a detective. And people could say, oh, you did the rookie. I'm like, no, no, no, no, that, that was, we were like, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, um, two guys, uh, you know, we, like stolen cars is what, what was our, was our division, uh, G rides, they call them, being Clint Eastwood, you know, yes, I'm very, yeah. But I've never played like a hardened down on his luck, uh, detective, um, who's a, you know, who, who caught that either the case he could never solve or, or, or the one that's gonna make a breaker to find his career and those are the shows that I'm, that I, that I, that I really lean into that I'm a huge fan of, you know, so if, if, if something like that happens because of all of what's happening, then, then, then absolutely, I, I, I, I don't really believe in manifesting stuff, um, but I do believe in, in, in, in, you know, being aware of, of when the energy is, is, is, is moving in a, in a specific direction. Yeah. And that's what I can feel is, is, is on the path. Awesome. And this is definitely also not a manifesting space as well, just like, I didn't see, he said that, but to be clear, this is more like sports peak performance, the like business peak performance would be how like this room relates like lawyers, accounts, certain factors, real estate people. Yeah. So I know, I don't, I don't see you like chanting into a Chris, yes, is an all that you know, that's, that's Bell over read it. Bell, are you here? Yeah. We had her rescued from that's more of your coast that she's, yes. So, yeah. Like this way. Yeah. So, um, the, how about is there a favorite role and I know words are particular or is there something you just truly enjoy differently than everything else? So it's all kind of the same as all these beautiful, incredible things you've done. Is there a one, two, three or a couple at the top or they're all kind of, you know, they all are very meaningful to you. How about that? You mean that I've done? Yeah. Your roles from the past. Oh gosh. Um, the, the stuff that I like just seems like from another lifetime. It seems so long ago. Um, people ask me, well, what's, what's, what's your favorite movie? And I, I like to say, uh, I haven't made it yet. Yeah. Let's hear for that. That's the last thing I mean. Yeah. But as far as the stuff that I, that exists that I've been in that like what, uh, the most fun I've ever had on a film was the three musketeers. Well, really? Yeah. I love the three musketeers, by the way. Yeah. Thank you. No. They sent us to Vienna. They overpaid everybody. He's off. And uh, yeah, we would just drink all night and then throw on a tunic and storm the castle the next day. It was pretty awesome. It was pretty awesome. Yeah. Good times. Um, that is super fun. The hardest job, um, the hardest film job was platoon hands down, but rewarding. Um, the hardest job period I've ever had. And the most rewarding was was was writing that damn book. Really? Yeah. Well, I didn't use a ghost writer. Wow. Yeah. I, I thought that would be completely inauthentic. And I felt like, um, then it's not, then I'm, you haven't written your book. You've just told the stories to someone you've known for an hour. And I wouldn't have, I know the language for it. Maybe you do. But there's a, there's a tone and a mechanism of delivery of the book I've never seen before. Oh, thank you. Yeah. For it. Is there, do you have a phrase, theology for? I don't, I don't know. I, I, I, I, it was like, it was shined. Like how's that? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I had to, I just tried to sheen it up. Um, but I, I, I wanted to write how I sink. And then I wanted to write in a rhythm that I like to read. Who's selfishly, I wanted to just have the audience have the reader feel like they fell into something welcoming, comfortable. And I also wanted them to feel. And again, I'm not trying to tell you how to feel with the book. I said that about a half an hour ago. Like, um, just to create this vibe that you've not just opened a book, but you've stepped inside of a movie. Mm-hmm. Yeah. You know, I don't lens that way. Again, I, I'm pretty strong with language and description, but it really is a unique way. Thank you. Think of, of seeing inside of your heart, your mind, your being. Thank you for describing it. It truly is. And there's some words that I couldn't, I couldn't find the existing words for things I needed to describe a certain way. So I just made some shit up. Um, but people read it and they say, well, yeah, of course, that needs to be a word. You just, I'm like, well, it kind of is now. What level, if you believe and know this man is an absolute genius, say yes. Oh, shocks. Come on now. Thank you. And I don't say, we, do I say what I do not mean? Yes, we did. Like that's a big part of our space. Like we don't just ingratiate, but we acknowledge mastery. Sure. James Prudy, you hear? Yeah. Okay. So James is mom's in hospital. And we're going to give him the one question we're going to have for you. Please, please, the audience. That's okay. Of course. I have no James for decades. Chiropractor in Jersey, amazing. Mom is really fighting for her life. She is an amazing insane fan. So it's the fact that James is asking you questions. Oh, I don't have time. So James, what would your question? Hey, James, how are you? I'm just a trolley Shane. And she like I could order a picture of the event. Let's get a mic for James. I showed her a picture of the event. Uh-huh. And I always point to my friend Shawn, who I've known from last three years. Right. She was actually Charlie Shane. And I said, yeah, ma, she goes, you tell him as she is cancer. Horizon. You tell him I've seen every one of his shows, not once, twice. Wow. And wow. We're name is Mary. And I've been a huge fan of your movies. And my question is for for those of us who grew up undersized, shorter, bullied. Thank you for Lucas. All right. I mean, Rudy gets all the credit, but that was just an amazing move. Oh, right on. Thank you. And the other thing that I just can't, many people don't know, is the first time I remember seeing you in a movie that was so impactful was sort of a cameo at the end of Ferris Buse's The Office. Most people don't know you were in there. And I just got to tell you you were awesome. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. But thank you so much. And my mother Mary says, oh, OK, well, were you sending a message back to Mary? She wants a picture of me and you together. If that's OK. Well, we're going to get that in the room. Yeah. That's amazing. OK. Easy one. Yeah. Is she going to, is she going to recover? Is she going to make it? Is she going to, or are we still not now, most likely before Christmas? I'm sorry. Yeah. Yeah. OK. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. My best friend. I'm sorry. All right. Well, she is out of the place at home right now. OK. It's not in the hospital. All right. Well, there you go. Let's go. There you go. How about that? And she made that point when you said it. You took me up because that's what she said to the young colleges. I'm going home, get me out here. All 95 pounds of work. Wow. 4 foot 10 Armenian woman. And an amazing human. She said, wow. OK. This is really powerful. Yeah. Can she, I mean, can she do you call her? Does she get on the phone? Oh, yeah. OK. Then once you and I get on the fucking phone with her. Can we, right? OK. Absolutely. So we'll do that. Thank you. We'll do that. It's the least I could do. Thank you, Simla. My pleasure. And that's the power of identity and the heart of the Manly Trail of Sheat. Thank you, child. So I know that you have people to see place to go. And I know we have a moment for our certification partner and elite that are going to have the privilege of seeing you for a moment in a little bit. And if I can ask this, there's just a final question. This is a room full of people that want to see their life grow. And they want to be involved in projects that matter for the rest of their life. And they want to feel that sense of purpose and fulfillment that we all want to feel. And what would you have as a message for them? And absolutely, in whatever way a trail is you want to deliver it, that they could take away that would make their life a little better. Maybe it's access to humor. Maybe it's having the special potion, having your pocket for the end. But whatever it would be, as a message from you to them, in a what we call a final final from trail is sheathing. I mean, yeah. Something I really wish that I had tapped into a lot sooner. And I do actually, I think I mentioned this in the book, if it is just this idea of, and it's this is something you have to consciously like lean into, is try not to take things so personally. I'm telling you that may not mean anything right now. But if you start to look back on a lot of situations that didn't turn out or didn't, you're just, we're not, didn't bring the result that you wanted. Or however that manifests, it's, that is like, I don't believe in regrets, but I do believe in learning from, you know, a lot of the stuff we wish we could do over. And that's just, you know, just looking back on things, it's the one question I asked myself, why did I take everything so frickin' personally? And so I think there's value in that. And I think there's freedom in that. That's just the nugget that feels germane to today. And then, if you think there's massive value in that for you, let's hear it. Mr. Charlie Sheen has been honored and a privilege. I could not thank you enough for taking the trip here. I thank Darren Prince, more hug. Thank you. God bless you. Thank you all very much. May it all happen. If you know you've been the presence of a master on your feet, one more time, let's hear it. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
