So Chuck Lorre of, uh, s- I, I guess you could say sitcom fame.

I mean, he's done a ton of them-

Yeah

...

but s- specifically Two and a Half Men, has a memoir coming out called Sitcom: A Memoir that's going to be released next week, and in it, he recounts Charlie Sheen's exit from Two and a Half Men.

He says that, uh, Charlie earned about $1.25 million per episode and had negotiated a four-day workweek, but then he started reportedly giving bizarre sick day excuses, like he had food poisoning, clam allergies, dental emergencies.

And-

Did his wife's breast implant ever pop, that he had to go to the doctor for that?

It did not.

Oh.

But a BIC lighter that exploded and burned off his eyelashes was one of them

God, can you imagine? Dude, you're a grown man.

Yeah, crazy.

According to Lorre, uh, Sheen's manager claimed to have flown across the country with cash to purchase a sex tape featuring Charlie Sheen, and when Chuck Lorre's like, "How shocking would a sex tape featuring Charlie Sheen be?"

Yeah, didn't they say that that's kind of on brand for him, isn't it?

Yeah, they were like, "That's kind of on brand for him," and then his manager said, "Not this kind of sex tape."

I mean, what...

Th- there's only a couple of things that I could think of that that could be.

None of them good, some less bad than others, but I, I mean, it's Charlie Sheen.

What we know about him, how, uh, how bad would the stuff that we don't know about him have to be?

The only thing that came to mind for me, um, was that this was at a time where we did not know about him having sexual encounters with men.

Remember-

Yeah

...

Charlie came out with that later, way later.
