BOSTON (CBS) – Charlie Sheen stopped by the 98.5 Sports Hub studios early Wednesday morning for a lengthy interview with hosts Fred Toucher and Rich Shertenlieb.

Shertenlieb went to Sheen’s show at Agganis Arena Tuesday night and was able to get a front row seat.

He then invited Sheen to come on their top-rated morning show.

Sheen obliged and came by the studio in Brighton at 12:30 a.m. for an hour and-a-half interview.

“The crowd was an 11. The show was like an 8.5, 9 at some points,” Sheen said about his Agganis performance.

Perhaps the most surprising aspect of the interview was when Sheen said he is not receiving syndication payments for his hit show Two and a Half Men.

“I probably shouldn’t talk about that. I’m supposed to (be getting syndication payments) but that is, what’s the term, ‘being withheld,’” Sheen said.

“So you are not being paid for it?” Toucher asked.

“Not completely,” Sheen replied. “At all actually.”

“How do they justify that?” Shertenlieb asked.

“They can’t, that’s why I’m suing them,” Sheen said. “It is unfair.”

Sheen also said his return to the show was about “85-percent” but could not elaborate.

“He talked about being on the set of ‘Apocalypse Now’ and going back there ten years later after his dad had a heart attack duiring the filming of that of movie and going to shoot ‘Platoon.’ He tried to call Jon Cryer, he tried to call his brother,” Toucher said.

Sheen also said there is a script for Major League 3, and many of the original actors from the first movies are slated to reprise their roles.

Hi Ashely— you suck. Get over yourself, and see this for it what it is: incredibly entertaining radio.
RC

Hi Ashley, your husband doesn’t care what you think of the radio he listens too. If you really want to control him, you should be hitting the gym right now and not slurping on your iced coffee and commenting on message boards

Ed

@RC
Right on, RC!
What the hell miss Ashley, you REALLY need to get over yourself. The incredbiel ARROGANCE of some of these chicks is unreal.

Jess

Is there any way I can listen to it online?
Adam

holy sh!t…. i would hate to be you husband Ashley. I hope that he will find his balls one day.
Brett

wow. Ashley chill out you are insane. Get a life
Brett

You are a loser

Ashley

great comment

David

Ashley you need to get a grip on life stuff happens in life and people make mistakes. You need to check yourself before you critisize others and make sure you don’t have skeletons in your closet. Let he who is perfect cast the first stone. So check yourself before you wreck yourself.
David McCormack

If your husband don’t listen to the Toucher and Rich show because you tell him not too then that makes you more of a man than he is.
Ashley

its just my opinion people you.. keep getting mad

David McCormack

Yeah and that opinions isn’t worth anything. And do you really think you are going to stop your husband and other people from listening to Toucher and Rich? Do you really have that much control over your husband and other people. Whatever happend to freedon of speech?
Tony

Ashley, get a grib. Jesus.
Susan M

Ashely people get angry when they feel threatened. They hurl insults when they can not form a constructive thought….

“I refuse to give my money to anyone who will not work.”
Honey you already do, every time you get paid, it’s called taxes.

You sound like a controlling, whiny wench, I feel bad for the guy.

Susan M

We should ALL have a TORNADO OF TRUTH tour to fight TAXES. LOL!!
Ashley

i will fight taxes with you! :)

just not with charlie sheen.

Ashley

Press is my job… and we do nothing but make fun of this guy… keep loving a loser see where it gets you in life..toodles

Mike Gammell

It’s not that we love the guy. No one does. We just like what he says. It’s like with the Jersey Shore. No one loves the people on that show. They watch it to see a train wreck.

Susan M

Charlie Sheen is a wonderfully talented actor. But he has turned into a freak show. It is hard to imagine that people are PAYING to go to this new show of his. Has any one of his “defenders” (you guys criticizing Ashley) actually gone to his new show? Interesting news but I wouldn’t waste my money.

The guy had a contract and was getting 3 million per show (or was is 3.5 million?). Most people don’t see that much money in their entire lives and he got it for each show. Boo hoo. I feel SO bad for him. Yeah, right!

Ashley

thank you!!

troll!!! TROOOLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!

Susan M

Not a “troll”. Just a response to A’s comment.
This is exactly what I meant about hurling insults.

macmum

Somewhere behind the madness, Charlie is a very talented actor ~ but maybe not a stand up comic. No matter, he has lately been pretty much a “train wreck”. I hope he gets his stuff together, cause I’ve always enjoyed his work up until now.

Susan M

Ah, the voice of reason in an insane world!

Steven

Ok… Ashley and Susan, let’s get one more fact straight… first off, I am not a Charlie Sheen fan, nor am I a fan of Two and a half Men, however, he never stopped showing up for work. He was showing up for work and earning his ridiculous salary. They are the ones who locked him out of the studio and then fired him.

Secondly, as to your comments about Toucher & Rich, being in the press Ashley, you of all people should know that when you get the chance for the “big get” on your show, you TAKE IT!!! It doesn’t matter if you agree with that person’s morals or values, you have a job to do and when you get the chance to get the biggest newsmaker of the last 3-4 months on your show, you do it.

Kudos to Toucher and Rich for, not only getting the interview in the first place, but for being insightful and for nailing the interview! They did not let Charlie skate… they asked him tough, deep, insightful questions and got him to dig deep into his psyche and his past.

It was awesome! Great job Fred and Rich!
Susan M

Hmmm Steven, Let ME get one more fact straight. I did not say Sheen did not show up for work. I just said I don’t feel bad for him. I heard him complaining about his salary and that is nuts!
Dan

Steven
you are completely correct. I was at the show and it was not as I had hoped for, BUT the radio interview more than made up for it! It was an amazing interview, Sheen was completely himself and honest with everything that had happened in his life. I would recommend him to make his next show just like the radio show and tell all. It was highly entertaining and he was relaxed and funny and open about himself. Cheers to 98.5 for getting him!

DEE

HONEST??????? I DONT THINK HE KNOWS WHAT THE TRUTH IS. I CANT FIGURE OUT WHY YOU BELIVE ANYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF HIS MOUTH, HES ONLY SAYING WHAT EVERYBOUDY WANT TO HEAR!!

Mike Gammell

Dee, I’d take you seriously, but since you used all-caps, I can’t.

ET

Actually, Charlie Sheen never had any trouble showing up to work, and, IMO, performed beautifully. Enjoy your divorce.
DEE

ALL THAT LOSER DOES IT LIE, HE LIED TO US IN DETROIT AND HE WILL CONTINUE TO LIE AT EVERY CITY HE PLAYS IN TO GET APPLAUSE.

ITS HIS ERROGANCE THAT RUINED HIM, NOT THE MISTAKES. IT TAKES A BIGGER MAN TO ADMIT TO HIS MISTAKES.

CHARLIE NEEDS TO LEARN FROM EMINEM AND DENNIS QUAD. STAY CLEAN AND SOBER ITS A MUCH BETTER LIFE. AND A LOT MORE PEOPLE WILL FORGIVE THE MISTAKES THE ERROGANCE IS ANOTHER THING.

SICK OF THE B.S.
Ashley

well i guess we have two VERY different opinions on this…why dont we let charlie sheen’s career longevity speak for itself.. i give him one more year tops..

Ashley is a Cuckold

Ashley,

The man has already sustained around a 30 year career while doing massive amounts of cocaine/god knows what else and bedding many many promiscuous women.

You’re only giving him one more year tops? Based on what?

Ashley

lol come on now!! REALLY?!

Susan M

To set the record straight…I did not hear the interview, but I think Toucher and Rich were BRILLIANT to land that interview. It is a win/win. People want to hear Sheen rant and no one had to pay for a ticket. Sheen got more publicity and Toucher and Rich got ratings and MORE free publicity for themselves from the news. BRILLIANT.
haterain

Folks it is called entertainment. I love Two and a half men, I like Charlie Sheen the actor. I am not a fan of Charlie Sheen the person, but Toucher and Rich can not pass up that interview. Even people that don’t like Charlie Sheen the person (me); listened to the interview. I hope he goes back to Two and a Half Men because it is a great show with him on it. Time to seperate entertainment from real life. Also, it doesn’t make a bit of difference what he gets paid. A person is worth what someone is willing to pay them.
JT

Sound like Ashley & Susan’s husbands should spend a little time with Ol’ Charlie Boy!!! I’m sure he’d be saying “what the hell are you two doing with these control freaks”!!! LOSING!!!!

Susan M

@JT – Just curious why you call me a control freak. Who am I trying to control? Why are people threatened by a well stated opinion? On the other hand, many of these other comments are simply insults. It is like if they don’t agree, they attack, which is exactly what you did.
