Thank you so much for this interview. I am a 74 year old lady living in Scotland and have never believed the ugly insinuations around Michael.I always saw a gentle soul gifted in rich talents from above and was a genius in my eyes.He paid a high price for his career and is one of the greatest tragedies of all times. Matt he RIP
You inspired me to write, a 63 year old living in London, who's heart beats like yours! I just wrote a long comment. Felt good. Thank you so much!❤
I am the same age as you in the USA and never believed the ugly either ❤❤
Alarm bells are still going off on my head about MJ as he was having sleepovers with other people's children, sleeping in the same bed😢 peado behaviour n I don't care who he is
@@dondamon4669The kids who are now adults said Michael Jackson did not sexually abuse them.
You can lie to yourself all you want. He was GUILTY. There are PLENTY of people who DONT have a reason to excuse themselves like this guy who will tell a VERY different story.
I’ve been fighting hard defending MJ in work lunchrooms, parties, train conversations you name it. Thank you for this interview ❤
Same here! Keep it up! ❤
Do you defend OJ too?
@@cplmpcocptcl6306 only a racist would say that coz OJ & MJ cases have nothing in common but the race of the accused.
@@cplmpcocptcl6306 OJ is guilty his day is coming ☠️
@@cplmpcocptcl6306 😂😂😂
I am blown away at this man’s integrity, I rolled my eyes thinking he was another one to try and capitalise off of MJ, but actually I’m so impressed by his honest, respectful and truthful account of his experience. MJ was blessed to have such an honest friend with a good heart xxx Thanks man xxx
Why he like a bad man❓🤔
Why are you so eager to defend a child molester? That's a serious question.
I've learnt more in 2 hours about Michael Jackson than i had in 30 years. Still makes me sad that he died that way. I could listen to Matt's stories all day. Great Pod all round.
Amazing .matt must have some great stories about mj.
I already knew all this, well most of it anyway. I've done research after research, but it's such a great feeling having the truth come from someone who really knew Michael back it up. ❤❤❤❤
All you heard was more LIES from another creep who covered up for him.
@@lorraineclark1838please get a life soon
No matter what's in this interview i refuse to believe Michael was anything but loving and sincere. Miss him so much!!!❤
Refusal is burying your head in the sand
Sounds like you are doing a good job of that yourself - believing all the BS in the media and everyone else who is telling the actual truth are the liars. Sad.@@paulharrisonadventuregearm5457
The world is a less happy place without MJ in it . He brought joy to millions & millions. Who else can say that ?
How about the boys❓🤔🧐
@@regiment6541 They're much safer now!!
@@regiment6541 let’s hope they never get the fame they want 😎
@@rungeon83 not with you in the world bro 🔥
Well let's see. What about the boys? I'm not sure Gavins mom is still locked up in prison for fraud or not. Jordan emancipated himself from his parents, the minute he was old enough, for what they did. I heard right after Michael died Jordys dad committed suicide. Other then that I guess their doing fine.
Thank you Matt, I feel Michael has really got justice now. He is truely missed.
He will be back
@@kellyprice1024 The old reincarnate 😍 We need to build a world worthy to house him first...we gonns bring heaven to earth and Michael did his bit to fix it brilliantly 😇 The dead will dance on judgement day ❤
His name right now is 10x better than it was in the last 15 - 20 years of his life till 2009.. such a shame he had to die
Your gullibility and unwillingness to believe his victims is sickening.,
@@lorraineclark1838 He dosent have any!
This guy's loyalty is admirable. The type of friend we all need. Like finding a white elephant.
Matt is too faced can’t trust him
He no friend
He can try to protect himself by making up a story but that doesn't mean it's true.
It was all gellers fault bashire interview s
He's LYING to alibi his own complicity or gullibility.
Why are you making excuses for a child molester?
@Matt Fiddes Michael Jackson is watching over you and I'm 100% sure he IS proud of you... you're a wonderful man for chatting about Michael. Thank you.
We're never as strong, as we are until we have to be. Never Do as much, unless the need we see. Only give our best, when we fail at mediocrity. We Love rather than hate when we admit we're one humanity. We always give more, when compassion moves our heart with unbridled generosity. We Become more of our potential when we are made to see, that clearly our minds can believe in unfathomable possibilities, while seizing every opportunity, here in lies one's destiny. More than our scars, higher than our stars, for in our flaws are what defines our features, they're uniquely ours, as human creatures.
We can run faster than on our slowest day. Reason better, and thinking it through all the way, regardless which direction our emotions may sway. We can find our voice when speechless, our strong words with meekness and our Courage in weakness. Always patience not quickness. Silence for peace than loudness, quietness of fear, not hopeless, for time and effort are equally unbiased. We are more than the stories we're told, we're the one's we write, each page unfold. We are the sum of our Lies and truth, fantasy, fiction, faith, and myths, no matter how uncouth. These are what shape us, our lives lived is the proof. We can be more right than wrong. More just than judge. More godlike than unlike. Reflecting Sunlight in our darkest night.
Providing refuge. Never more alive until we die within and begin again. A Human Ark Divine in our human spark. That's who we are,
Who and what we can be, we can become.

I've known Matt for years, lived in the same neighborhood, mutual friends, he's one of the most humble people I know. All the blessings!
I can hardly understand him. No offense.
Gods speed Matt 🙏❤️What a lovely guy.
@@LaDeee57 LOL. Texas here! He is hard to understand, but I find the accent charming. I can sort of understand him. Seems like a great fellow.
@melissasw64 really? He sounds crystal clear to me, but then i do live quite close to Matt
@@virgilblaze9090 Well, to me it sounds quite charming. Funny how it is the same language but sometimes we can't quite understand each other.
My daughter has attended Matts martial arts classes in Southampton for the last 3-4 years and absolutely loves it!! My daughter has autism and was bullied at school.. martial arts has given her so much confidence and she will be attending her first panel grading this April.. This is literally my daughter’s life! She is so dedicated to this! The first championship she ever attended she came away with more than one gold medal.. my daughter is very driven thanks to Matt and knows what she is good at and loves ❤
1
I would be concerned. I would never leave my child alone, especially if she has autism, with someone who defends MJ. Big red flag.
@@TMTM584 they are not left alone, they are in classes with instructors that are qualified and are actually all very good at what they do and how they teach! The environment is very safe! My comment was purely about how good the classes have been for my daughter and lots of others too.. My daughter is very happy and extremely confident, achieving and winning gold medals as well as learning what she is passionate about.. i guess you would know all this if you had witnessed it for yourself though.. as for MJ - what you believe is up to you.. did you know him personally then? I didn’t.. I have my own views as you do and not everyone feels the way you do about it all, but I didn’t want to get into a debate about MJ which is why I didn’t comment about him.. I can only talk about what I know, and that’s how great these classes are for not only kids but adults too and lots of families together..
@@KerryBalcombe-ec8iw I wish you and your daughter the best.
@@TMTM584 thank you very much 💫
I was initially scared to listen to this interview because I dont want to hear ANYTHING negative about MJ. Anyone with common sense can see he was not what the media said he was. This interview was so refreshing. As I sit her typing I am in tears because I wish MJ knew that more people believed him and those who didn't really lacked discernment. Thank you. #MJforever❤
BASHIR WAS AND IS A SNAKE!!!!!!
I have a lot of common sense and believe he had a serious problem. Why, Im no sure, probably because what he went through as a child himself.
I never believed what they said about micheal
Interesting. I would say that anyone not intellectually challenged knows he had issues.
@@cplmpcocptcl6306 exactly 👍 cant believe people are so blinded
“ we went everywhere but didn’t see anything” ….
That’s so incredibly sad.
Excellent interview!
C fcc cccccc cccc cccccçcccccc.ccccccccc
It had to be a lonely existence for Michael Jackson and the people around him. You fly to great cities, stay in luxurious hotels but live only in your hotel room the entire time. The weight of that has to be depressing.
Michael had a beautiful soul and loved everyone. It's a shame that people misunderstood him. ❤
I would definitely have “misunderstood “ him if he got into my kids bed.
People wanted to misunderstand him or they just could not understand because most people's minds are not pretty but very disturbed. So, they projected their own thoughts on him.
He a bad man👎🏾
I know people who worked with him. At least one had to escape the film set because his behavior made her physically sick. EVERYBODY KNEW he was abnormal and exploitive of children -EVERYBODY.
It's disgusting that people keep making excuses for a criminal who abused children.
@@lorraineclark1838you dont know shit 😂
The annoying thing is you'll forward this link and nobody will watch it, yet the bashir doc or the wade doc folk will crowd round the TV. Nobody wants to hear (at best) the truth and /or (at worst) an alternative version......It's a strange world we live in
People love drama, sad but true.
Sad but true.. even the fact that the FBI investigated him for 10 years and found nothing.. nobody wants to hear that 💩
Some will, and that's what matters.
Drama, salacious GOSSIP , & rumours is what sells. Lies are rewarded and monetized sadly.
It’s not drama. That’s the bad things Mj did for real😒
As a big MJ fan, I really enjoyed this interview. It was so nice to hear that Michael had at least a handful of people he could trust. Matt shared some great stories!!
MJ definitely the King of Pop music .. still listens to his music to this day! Listen to the lyrics of his songs .. they all tell a story!
I'm glad there is someone out here who knows Michael Jackson personally telling everyone that all the explortation of kids was not true. 😢😢 I grew up watching Michael grow up right along with me. I always believed he never did any of that. I always believed Neverland was his chance to experience his childhood he never got to be a part of. He got to experience stayovers, parties, and make lots of friends 🧡 ❤ He will always be my best friend, that I never got to meet.
Stupid! Best fri🎉end? Really? Poor you! !
Amen
I’ve listened to loads of interviews with Matt about Michael and this is the best by far … so honest and informative. Miss him loads . He was the king of pop and will never be replaced …
Grow up
King of pedo
@@richardgallagher4880 😆😆😆
@@richardgallagher4880 It's better you grow up!
@@hannaz4617
Watch the ghost of Jacko don't get you child
I always felt that MJ was so lonely in the massive world of music he created. He was the pioneer that not only changed music but also, it’s entire landscape. I am over joyed that MJ had such good friend to keep his feet on the ground and to be honest with him. This was a beautiful interview ❤
I enjoyed MJ, but how exactly was he a "pioneer" & "changed music??". He was a POP Star. He was brilliantly marketed. I think we miss use the English language. 😂😂like people referring to Kanye West is a" genius". 😂😂. I think I made my point 😂😂✌️✌️
@@shonnyhines1737 you obviously know nothing about music if you're denying the impact MJ had/still has
@@shonnyhines1737he wrote all of his songs. There never was anyone like him before or after him. Don’t comment on a subject u know very little about. Ur generation only looks up to influencers & hooke*s, we do not.
@@Ibanezguy2007Exactly, but judging by the way the comment is written, person’s quite young.
I LOVE seeing all the love for Michael Jackson.. people still posting videos, after all this time... fans commenting daily expressing their love.. it's beautiful.
JAMES ENGLISH YOU ARE A DIVINE ANGEL FOR THIS INTERVIEW. MATT FIDDES IS ANOTHER DIVINE ANGEL. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS.
Double thumbs up in this one!
This guy cannot be faking it!
This is TRUTH!
What a cracking and fascinating interview… huge credit to Matt for being such a loyal great friend and employee to MJ.
He no friend he was uri gellers bodyguard geller tricked Michael to be doing interviews to Martin bashire
This interview has confirmed what I believed. I am so glad you did this James , thank you so much. I would never accept hush money if anyone touched my kids. That was a huge red flag to me. Thank you Matt
This made me cry. I always knew it wasn’t true what they said about him. He was so misunderstood and people absolutely vilified him and jumped on the bandwagon. This was absolutely brilliant to hear. This is the truth from somebody who knew and saw from behind the scenes. Thank you mate for getting the truth out there. We lost a genius when he died and his name should absolutely be cleared. I loved this ❤
Don't get too confident. MJ any child abuser can hide it even from the closest of people. I'm not saying MJ did or didn't..but this interview isn't proof
I always knew MJ was a good person. I cried off and on for a wk after he passed away. He was a musical genius.
Definitely not a musical genius. He's a good dancer to a point and entertainer. A musical genius is someone like PRINCE. MJ is poor man's Prince
@@paulharrisonadventuregearm5457
In terms of a better musician, yes prince is indeed the better musician. But looking at their musical catalogues MJ no doubt has far more greater impactful and powerful music than Prince ever did, ranging from power ballads like “Earth Song” to pop “Smooth Criminal” to rock “Dirty Diana” and disco “Rock With You”. Prince became & remained a master in his own domain but Michael had the planet in the palm of his hands thanks to his immense range of music
@@paulharrisonadventuregearm5457Michael was a musical genuis. Wtf are you talking about 🤨? Even Prince said it. In fact, Prince himself cried when he heard the news of Michael's death.
@@aurelinho0075 not even close to being a musical genius. Prince left him for dead. MJ could dance a bit and sing well..but was limited in his genre of singing. MJ wasn't even a songwriter perse.
@@paulharrisonadventuregearm5457 Michael was inducted into the songwriter hall of fame in 2002. How about that ?
“We went everywhere but didn’t see anything” is a top notch phrase
Big respect to you, Matt. I'm glad you've confirmed the truth and dispelled the rumours. Great podcast.
Wow the most genuine down to earth interview about michael I've heard goodcto hear he was kindda normal bless him,and well done to the guy interviewing, he let his body guard speak instead of interrupting him all the time, nice one guys great interview.
may MJ RIP .
I could listen to a Scottish accent all day long!
Miss MJ so much ~ growing up with his music. His suffering is our suffering. Thank You for this so much!
Definition of a warrior is a man who gets the job done.
Definition of a man is someone that gets the job done
Definition of a man is not to cover bad men👎🏾
Been a fan since the 70s, absolutely loved Michael, broke my heart when he passed😢, My children grew up listening to his music and share my love for him. Thankyou for this this has to be the most humble Man I have ever seen sharing his story about Michael .Thankyou for sharing this with all of his fans , made me smile and chuckle and feel sad. Loved every minute ❤️ great interview,definitely worth a watch .
I swear, he is not dead. Witness protection
Don’t be a fan for a bad man👎🏾
What a brilliant interview, this one totally caught me offguard. Matt sounds like a top bloke. Never believed the allegations against Michael Jackson, glad to hear Matt clear it up.
Michael is a White Hat for those that know what that means. He lives.

What a lovely ,loyal man ,best viewing I have seen in a very long time
Thank you Matt for being a true friend to Michael. He surely needed that! God bless you 🙏
This was fascinating. Can't believe Matt's done so much and he's only 44. I believe Michael was a good man who got taken advantage of too much. Matt's seems like a legend and a true friend to Michael. RIP
Why do the 3 Neverland maids all say the allegations were true? They couldnt speak at the time as theyd signed NDA's but since his death, they all corroborated the boys stories as has another ex bodyguard when theres no blackmail opportunity any more. Also the first boy accurately described vitiligo marks ( skin condition where pigment patches of white appear on black skin) on & near MJ's genitals. Then got paid £8million to go away. Then theres the adult bunny costume with no crotch & gay p*rn found in his Neverland playroom: which was up the stairs inside his lockable bedroom suite.
Fantastic interview from someone that was TRULY front line to Michael, & sees the world from from Mikes eyes being so close. Respect James from a true brother in the sense of the BG world. The media will always spin shite to make money from, no matter who they hurt in the process!!!
Great story ! As a big fan of Michael since I was a young lad I just want to say thank you to James for Organizing this interview, a big Thank you to Matt for sharing and much love to the Jackson family 💚 Sorry for your loss. Long live the KING
When people don’t need money or clout they spread the truth on Michael. Thank you for this.
This is my favourite one of the podcast James has done. Matt explained everything perfectly and I really hope this takes off and more people get to know what really happened
We know what happened by this guys lies🙄
@@richardgallagher4880 Not at all, look it all up and you will see it's accurate
Funny how when people actually close enough to speak out do so they “lie” and the rich ones that have nothing to gain financially from doing so always protect Jackson and the poor ones who will say anything to sell a story to a paper for £5,000. At Jackson’s peak, a basic story in the sun was paying £30,000 providing you could prove you were close to the star (with no proof of what you were saying) providing it was bad news. Front page were paying up to £750,000. Jackson made millions for media outlets providing it was bad news. Goood news didn’t sell. Wade Robson made millions from the Operah special, if he and Safechuck didn’t say what they did they were both about to go bankrupt. They concealed the fact the men earned so much money out of the story as it would show them for what it really was. Both attempted to sue the Jackson estate for hundreds of millions of dollars as part of the documentary hoping it would help them win. Multiple lies were exposed and proved from that documentary. It’s embarrassing when you actually look at how many mistakes they made that proves they were lying.
@@richardgallagher4880
Explain yourself, surely he'd make more money by saying the rumours were true?
He seems like a decent person to me? Hence explain your reasoning
@@douglaspuglas6888
He didn't notice he wore a wig, didn't notice jacko was on the phone.
Every other word was a lie😬
There half a dozen contradictions.
Cba going through forensically it's so obvious.
This is by far the most honest, telling interview I have ever seen. Thank you for taking the time to tell your story.
Fantastic interview. So wonderful to know Michael Jackson had such good friends to give him peace.Thank you so much. Peace and love
HIGH MATT. great interview. I worked with with Micheal Jacksons chef in Beverly Hills ,met Micheals dad in Las Vegas when Tyson fought bruno, spoke about Micheal, photos in my book liverpool bank robber to the Hollywood Butler, good on you mate blessings, Terry
Attended "History" at Wembley,what an absolutely incredible artist/performer he was .
Never believed mj did anything wrong, I dunno how king Charlie can talk after all the weirdos they’ve had in the palace. Great interview
And his brother Andy 😂
@@TroutFly same with Prince and George Michael
💯
Hes a nonce. His back catalogue is worth roo much money. That's why the doubt was dictated to you. How many people listen to Gary glitter.
@@Jewels-tea-and-tarot I've gotta say, and will continue to: any man that sleeps with a stranger's children in his bed should be thoroughly investigated.
And anyone who encourages society to believe this is innocent is highly irresponsible about the safety of children.
Saying it is an expression of love is also wrong. What place do you have to fall in love with a stranger's child?
I am so glad that michael had Matt as a very close and loyal friend. thankyou Matt for speaking the truth about Micheal and he would ne really proud of you and will be smiling down at you.
What a humble and genuine bloke! Fantastic interview and am going to look into his website.
Thanks James 😊
I can't believe he has just said boys before puberty can't be abused. That's a ridiculous and damaging statement. You don't have to function as an adult, there may be some acts that can't be forced but there are endless acts that can.
Wow, that's crazy. Even infants get S Aed. Both boys and girls. False statements like this have to be harshly refuted !
I know, right? Of course they can be sexually abused. And I still think Michael Jackson did it. I think he was a great dancer and all that, but I do believe Wade and James.
@@deerheart87 That's true. We don't know how many there are.
@@melissasw64 I'm sure there are lots .I was also thinking last night that one of the reasons he didn't abuse Macaulay cauklin was because that kid was a huge star and had status and people may have believed him so he was too risky , also not abusing MC gave MJ some safety.
@@melissasw64I don’t believe a thing that came out of their mouths, they make no sense and are extremely contradictory. However! I have always thought it strange that the kids stayed over, but I know for a fact if it was my child, no money would be enough, so would question the pay offs too!
Brilliant interview, thank you for sharing the truth about MJ 🙏🏾💕
MJ and the Jackson 5 were the first musicians I listened to aged 13. I'm so happy I watched this, as I was a huge fan all those years, thank you for spending the time and sharing all your memories and another great interview James, thank you xx
I think Michael Jackson was a very empathic guy,he felt things deeply & he was the greatest singer of our time,all those who told lies about him should be utterly ashamed & his children & family are the ones who knew him best.God love him.❤
Yes, and he is not dead. He went into witness protection. He come out soon. When it is safe
😂😂😂 You both are funny.
Prince still reigns supreme.
@@cplmpcocptcl6306 In your dreams The Artist Formally Known As 😂😂😂
@@cplmpcocptcl6306Prince is the most overrated musician of all time. His music was bland and pretentious. He's not even close to Michael artistically.
I completely agree with you, you are absolutely right. Michael was very emotional. He was too sensitive to deal with all the jealous and greedy people and the smear campaign. It's hard to digest all the fake news and fake accusations. To be honest, I think he never overcame it! Even though the fake accusations were so mean, he still was loyal to all of his fans. Love you Michael! ❤
Matt Fiddes is an absolute gentleman! This show is solid! What a great insight into a wonderful man. He is missed greatly so much. I can’t wait for the MJ Biopic next year. The world is gonna be Mj mania.
This is the best interview I’ve seen in a long time ❤️
Is he your husband or brother, MJ was a paedophile that much is true.
Best podcast I’ve ever listened to! Matt is a breath of fresh air. I hope this episode gets the attention it deserves!
I am a huge, huge Michael Jackson fan. It was so interesting to hear Matt’s behind the scenes stories of events I followed so closely as a fan. Thank you for sharing, Matt. I am glad he had some loyal people like you around him. My heart still breaks for MJ, he deserved better.
Michael Jackson was very smart when it came to the Martin Bashir programme - I’m surprised Matt hasn’t mentioned it. Soon after the documentary came out, Geraldo Riviera released a further programme which showed Michael’s cameras filming all the Bashir scenes at the same time - he’d done it to protect himself. In that further programme, it showed the true conversations, scenes and unedited cuts. It showed Bashir in a terrible light and showed all the lies right there on screen. I remember it clearly, as it premiered on Sky One!
Where can I watch this ? Sounds interesting
@@ss3rdchannel219am sure you can find it on RUclips. Just google Geraldo riviera, Michael Jackson and Bashir. I’m sure it’ll come up. It was about 1 hour long. Showed the dirty rat Bashir in all his colours. Problem is, the media never cared or highlighted it because they loved to beat down Michael.
It’s called the footage you were never meant to see take 2 it’s on you tube
ruclips.net/video/utW8SlB5ZFw/видео.htmlsi=uy7k_vqH6_sv8nSu
The damage done by Bashir was never fixed by MJs rebuttal.
I am at the 1st few minutes of this video.I am a Psychic Healer & as a child i always felt very pure energy from Micheal.Any Genuine Psychic i know says the same about Michael, he is a Pure light & always was innocent.He had the purity of a young child.We Love you Michael 🥰🫶🩷💙🫶
Rubbish he was a wroung en
Loved this chat, thank you ❤❤
Thnx for the interview dude!!
Thank you for this interview ❤
Best interview I’ve watched in a long time. Thank you for this great listen!
Wow what a great interview. Will always love and miss the King of Pop.
Best interview about him, I’ve seen so far
what a guy. What a story. Great interview really enjoyed listening to this. R.I.P Michael always in my heart.
I’m in Swindon I hear Matts name and see his schools but this is the first time I’ve seen or heard him speak. What a great guy! What a great friend to many, and an inspiration to more. Best podcast I’ve heard in a very long time. Never believed the MJ stuff and it’s great to hear the candid truth. All the best to you Matt x
So glad you put this out! I always knew he was genuine. Always. What a good friend you were. I loved all of his music..and Janet's too.
40 mins in this is my favorite interview of yours so far. I can relate w this man in so many ways. Honest character
Brilliantly spoken interview Genuine- hope it goes viral James 👏
Excellent interview. Made my day. Very happy to hear it.
Back in 2020 I flew to LA to meet MJ's choreographer Bruno Falcon , he toured with Michael for BAD & Dangerous, i was also at Wembly for both in 1988 & 1992 , Bruno taught MJ to body pop and filled in for him when rehearsing, if MJ needed a rest , and was in the Smooth Criminal Video (leaning , brown suit ponytail nearest to the camera ) he said The same , michael was a lovely guy , who basically people took the piss out of and accused him of allsorts because of Michaels good nature and trusting nature of kids ! RIP MJ , 💔 x
I've always been a Jacko fan,and was lucky enough to also see him in 1988 Wembley by far the greatest gig I've been to.absolutely amazing 🎵
Fyi, Levon and Elijah were MJ cousins. They went to Neverland a lot.
Bruno Falcon (RIP) aka Pop 'n' Taco was such an amazing dancer. It's no wonder MJ sought him out to teach him popping. If anyone hasn't yet seen his scenes in Breakin' (1984), they definitely need to check it out. His style influenced so many dancers.
Great interview! Loved all of his stories and advice....thank u.
MJ was my role model as a teenager. I joined fan clubs, learned how to dance some of his most famous moves, and even was a vegetarian for a few months! My poor mom had to coock 2 dishes, as I was the only vegetarian at home😊. I always felt that his talent was amazing, and I always believed he was innocent!
The best interview yet. Could not stop listening. Such and interesting Chap and what profound advice.
Good interview guys, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Matt, a great interview. I was there in Devon when Michael came to Exeter and my husband made the stickers for the car used at foorball field! Ive been to several concerts and outside hotels singing with groups of fellow fans. Always will be a big fan. You are both great guys, and I really appreciate your honest, down to earth nature. Listening to this has helped me in more ways than you know. TY. 😊
A brilliant interview! At last! Great podcast! Thank you ⭐️
Fantastically interesting interview and guest. Thanks to both of you.
What an amazing interview! 🖤
Hi James I was very impressed with this interview, was captivated all the way through, and Matt is a good inspiration for many people
Michael Jackson was as pure as they come. He was very sadly manipulated, tortured and then crucified over the course of 40 years, in which the world stood back and witnessed this in real time. And now they wish to destroy his legacy and his children’s lives for money. God is watching, I truly believe that! RIP MJ, thank you for everything you did for us 💙
Great interview,brilliant insight and extremly honest
Amazing podcast James. & thank u Matt for such a interesting listen. Real, humble & top bloke 🙌🏼
Love hearing about the early years , my son has been doing martial arts for a few years now , since he was 5 & the fitness , discipline & respect he is taking in weekly from amazing instructors is incredible. 100% the best sport/hobby for him 💚

Well done James and Matt. I never really believed the stories about MJ so was so glad when I watched that Chasing the Truth documentary and saw the truth, especially the bit about the train track not even being built then!
Everyone needs to hear this interview!!!!!
