A seated audience waiting for Charlie Sheen<\/a> to take the stage roared with cheers, but it wasn\u2019t for the actor; they were praising the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a>, who had just tied Game 7 of the World Series.<\/p>\n

Sheen, who is a diehard baseball fan<\/a>, kicked off the first Southern California stop of his tour to promote his memoir \u201cThe Book of Sheen\u201d at Morongo Casino Resort & Spa in Cabazon on Saturday, Nov. 1, nearly an hour late, but it quickly became evident why he wasn\u2019t on time.<\/p>\n

Television and radio host Billy Bush, Sheen\u2019s longtime friend and moderator for the tour, came out after the Dodgers tied the game against the Blue Jays to let the crowd know there was a holdup. He said that Sheen was still backstage, glued to the game, and asked whether the crowd was, too, which prompted cheers.<\/p>\n

According to Bush and Sheen, they attempted to display the game on the theater\u2019s monitors but were prevented from doing so due to licensing issues that prohibited the game from being shown during the event. Bush eventually asked the crowd how they\u2019d feel if Sheen came out on stage and kept watching the game along with everyone on their phones. The crowd enthusiastically agreed.<\/p>\n

The monitors then began playing a highlight reel of Sheen\u2019s career as an actor, including clips from \u201cTwo and a Half Men,\u201d \u201cSpin City,\u201d \u201cPlatoon,\u201d \u201cFerris Bueller\u2019s Day Off,\u201d and other notable works,\u00a0before he joined Bush on stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cHave you ever been in a predicament like this?\u201d Bush asked Sheen.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, I haven\u2019t,\u201d Sheen replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd you\u2019ve been in some tricky ones,\u201d Bush jested.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there\u2019s no other way to navigate this than to incorporate it,\u201d Sheen said.<\/p>\n

The actor explained to the crowd that the week leading up to the World Series, he knew he\u2019d have a show that could overlap with Game 7. Still, Bush tried to assure him that it may not happen and even if it did, the game would have to be in overtime to overlap with their 8 p.m. scheduled event at Morongo, and that\u2019s precisely what happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is really impossible to pretend that I care about \u2018Platoon,\u2019 \u2018Wall Street,\u2019 \u2018Two and a Half Men,\u2019 or any of that right now,\u201d Sheen said. \u201cWe\u2019re all in this together, though, right?\u201d He asked the crowd, who cheered.<\/p>\n

He then pulled out his phone and propped it up on his side table to watch the game, asking others to do the same and to keep everyone updated in case one connection service was faster. While the game was in progress, Bush, who brought a comedic tone to the moderation, attempted to ask some questions; however, the focus remained mainly on the game for the first half of the event. At one point, Sheen went into full-on sports broadcaster mode, breaking down the plays in detail.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure this feels like \u2018Major League\u2019 all over again for you,\u201d Bush said. \u201cI\u2019m trying to weave some of these questions in, as you can see.\u201d<\/p>\n

After taking a few questions from the audience and bantering, the crowd rose to their feet and cheered. The Dodgers had won the World Series<\/a>. Sheen went side to side on the stage, high-fiving fans in Dodgers gear.<\/p>\n

Sheen then announced that he had something that paired perfectly with the moment, and reached over to his side table to retrieve a can of his new nonalcoholic beer, Wild AF, joking that the \u201cAF\u201d stood for \u201calcohol-free.\u201d He and Bush cracked open a can and toasted the closeout of the World Series.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow crazy is it that we all got to celebrate this together tonight?\u201d Bush said. \u201cI\u2019m so happy everything worked out the way it was supposed to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even after the back-to-back World Series wins<\/a>, the Dodgers didn\u2019t disappear from conversation. At one point, Dolores Robinson (the talent manager for Charlie\u2019s father, Martin Sheen, and his brother, Emilio Estevez) was handed a microphone to speak. She shared that she used to drive Sheen and Rob Lowe to Dodgers games in their youth.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so appropriate to be here tonight to experience the Dodgers win the World Series together,\u201d she said. \u201cThe reason I was able to take you to those games was because I worked with Charlie\u2019s father when I lived in Malibu. We had such a good time at those games, and I still have pictures of that game with you and Rob.\u201d<\/p>\n

There was also a couple in the audience who were from Russia and shared that they\u2019d been living in the U.S. for a year, and had recently adopted a new cat, but had yet to name him. They asked Sheen to do the honors. Given the historic nature of the night, Sheen offered the name \u201cDodger\u201d for the cat, to which the couple accepted.<\/p>\n

Because of the Dodgers\u2019 victory, audience members would randomly shout \u201cwinning\u201d throughout the night, a nod to Sheen\u2019s 2011 public meltdown during an interview with ABC for \u201c20\/20.\u201d<\/a> He explained to the crowd that the phrase, along with others like \u201ctiger blood\u201d and \u201cAdonis DNA,\u201d was\u00a0inspired by a conversation he had with baseball pitcher Brian \u201cThe Beard\u201d Wilson.<\/p>\n

Sheen said that the two had spoken once over the phone, in which Wilson gave Sheen a pep talk, likely thinking he was inspiring him, but it turned out those words were playing on a loop in Sheen\u2019s head. During the \u201c20\/20\u201d interview, after an exchange with news anchor Andrea Canning, the words poured out, becoming something that would define a darker era of his life. He said he finds the episode embarrassing.<\/p>\n

While Sheen\u2019s memoir discussion became eclipsed by the excitement surrounding the Dodgers\u2019 win, there was still room for moments of vulnerability throughout the remainder of the evening. A mother in the audience shared that her son is on a similar path of addiction and asked Sheen what advice his own mother could\u2019ve given him that might\u2019ve helped him snap out of it. He responded that the question might be better suited to his mother, but shared that she had never stopped supporting him.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe never stopped saying I love you with her words or her actions,\u201d he said. \u201cShe was always there through thick or thin. Try not to lose hope in your situation. I believe that it\u2019s never too late for a fresh start. One moment can change everything. It\u2019s about making the decision and sticking to it. If we broke as many promises to our friends as we break to ourselves, then we wouldn\u2019t have any friends. There is a way to recognize that and change it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sheen later told the audience, \u201cI believe we\u2019re the sum total of all of our experiences, good and bad, and we don\u2019t have to be defined by the bad ones,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Another couple in the audience also spoke highly of Sheen\u2019s compassion, noting that he frequently visited their late friend, Jeff Ballard, the former Baltimore Orioles and Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher, while he was in the hospital for cancer treatment. They shared that Sheen gave a eulogy at his funeral, that Ballard had named one of his dogs after Charlie, and they recently spread the dog\u2019s and Ballard\u2019s ashes over Lake Arrowhead.<\/p>\n

Other conversations during the event included topics covered in the Netflix documentary \u201caka Charlie Sheen\u201d and \u201cThe Book of Sheen,\u201d including how Sheen got the role for \u201cPlatoon\u201d and how he almost missed his big break on \u201cFerris Bueller\u2019s Day Off,\u201d because he missed his alarm for the shoot. He also noted that he had to turn down the lead role for the Karate Kid because he was committed to \u201cGrizzly II: Revenge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Towards the end of the talk, Sheen mentioned he\u2019d be open to acting roles in the future and hinted at a sitcom in the works with a writer from \u201cTwo and a Half Men\u201d leading the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe script for this is a gem,\u201d he said. \u201cWe might be cooking something up a lot sooner than later, and we\u2019ll keep you posted.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A seated audience waiting for Charlie Sheen to take the stage roared with cheers, but it wasn\u2019t for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":35151,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[21494,7,9,8,426,21489,612,420,4470],"class_list":["post-35150","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-cabazon","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news","tag-dodgers","tag-morongo-casino-resort-spa","tag-riverside-county","tag-things-to-do","tag-world-series"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35150","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35150"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35150\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35151"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35150"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35150"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35150"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
