Summary

Today’s guest is Charlie Sheen. From Red Dawn and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off to Platoon and Wall Street to Young Guns, Major League and Hot Shots to Spin City and Two and A Half Men, and, of course, Navy SEALs, Sheen’s career spans some of the most iconic roles in modern cinema. His new memoir, THE BOOK OF SHEEN, offers an unfiltered look at family, fame, survival, and redemption after a lifetime in the spotlight. It is available now. In this episode, Jack and Charlie reconnect on familiar ground, sharing stories that range from Hollywood sets to baseball stadiums—including a full-circle moment on Martin Sheen’s birthday that ties back to Apocalypse Now. They reflect on the cultural impact of Sheen’s films and how his characters inspired a generation, including Jack’s own path toward military service. The conversation weaves through art, legacy, and the pursuit of meaning in an era defined by noise, fame, and reinvention. Sheen offers wisdom on storytelling, gratitude, and the importance of living life forward rather than replaying it on screen.
