0:00.0	Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east.
0:12.2	Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly show. We have an amazing show for you here. We've got Charlie Sheen.
0:19.8	And we couldn't wait to talk to Charlie Sheen. And we taped a conversation with Charlie Sheen on Tuesday of this week. And he was amazing, like completely honest and full of candor and self-deprecating and very reflective about the incredible life he's had. And we had always planned with his team.

1:43.6	to like him as much as I did. And
1:46.1	I just adore the guy now. And I think you will too. So enjoy. When you're a buried in credit
