Great interview - interesting guy - believe Michael was setup a lot but he lost me at the end with Tate. After studying who this bald, attention seeking, social media clout chasing guy was - he was always a criminal defrauding girls into doing webcam sex work. He is a master manipulator and the biggest narcissist I have seen. Tells stories people believe - but his pimps, hustlers, and hoes degree sold sad guys info on how to be a pimp. He on video confessing his crimes many years back.
Wow Dodge thatâs great I didnât realise, fantastic content đ
the arvizo kids mother accused a shop security guard of sexual assult around 2000, and went to a civil court for money. evidence presented to the judge proved it didnt happen. that woman and chandlers father were leeches who had no emotion
Shamone
You can like women and still molest children. The fact MJ liked women doesnât mean that he didnât (or did) molest children. Also those people donât molest all children just ones they can have power over.
I was Michaels's limo driver a few times in 1982, NYC. One night I picked him up in a van. He was wearing a fake beard, glasses, and a fake nose, with a long coat. We went to Radio City Music Hall to see Kool And The Gang concert. Michael sat right in the middle of the audience. No one had a clue. After the concert, we walked out through the crowd, , and I thought these people have no idea they are literally brushing shoulders with Michael Jackson.
cool story's, was just one time
Wow, thatâs a good story. Just think of living that way, and not being able to go out in public I mean it must be wonderful being famous, but on the flipside youhave to have make other huge sacrifices. The way of the world is everything has a duality.
There is a very good reason to not press criminal charges in a sec assault case. Especially with a minor. This guy is not credible
So
I love hearing these stories, at least he enjoyed it †oh I wish I could have met him
After FBI raided his house, took at all his computers, media, went thru the house with a fine tooth comb⊠they found NOTHING!!!!
I remember at the time they found a magazine with naked women. That already tells you what you need to know .Ped1s don't find naked women exciting.
@@josephedric4081 whatever you wish dude. Nothing happened. The man literally helped children and protected them from real hollywood predators
exactly. and the raid just HAPPENED...no warnings whatsoever.
Anyone that doubts his innocence, I support you to go and watch the behaviour panel ! & there read on him
â@@josephedric4081
OH PLEASE
I think Michael Jackson was the most misunderstood entertainer in the world. So very sad. đ
Person. He was misrepresented by people including his own family.
he just was badly framed in a time without the internet when the media hat all the power in controlling what the narrative is.
Truly sad. Seems like he was constantly being used. It also seemed like the attempt to do that last tour is what ultimately killed him. He just was doing whatever it took to rest.
â@@JaquelineGoodspeedhis family had his back during his trial so I'd disagree.
Thatâs because he was sooooo famous. The more attention on someone youâre going to have more misunderstandings because no one knows him but those who are close to him, like any other person on the planet who would be in his shoes with world-wide fame on his level.
If you were famous you would feel alone too because know one really knows you, but your closest family and friends. And even then, at that level of fame you sometimes canât even trust them. So they turn on you and misunderstand you too etc.
On behalf of a Michael Jackson lifelong fan.
Thank you Matt...
Just validating everything that I already know. Your friend Michael would be very proud of your honour.
Rest in peace my king
Your king? King of pop music, without question, but Jesus Christ is King. đGod bless you!
â@darlene333 not for everyone. Old boy has failed more than saved
â@@darlene333darlene go buy back some of your đ§ đ§ đ§ matter đšđšđšđš you lost too much apparently
People took your comment too seriously but I understand what mean.
â@@martyguy8185Jesus is King he saved everyone by sacrificing himself for us to have salvation and a chance in this world of sin to walk in Heaven .. we can repent and ask for forgiveness when we fall short
Poor Mike was so misunderstood. Evil Society killed him. I knew Michael my stepdad played for the Jackson 5 back in the day in Chicago. Iâm three years older than Mike. Iâve seen how strict his father was to them. It is so sad. The lies that was told on him made me sick. Rip Mike.
Rip rest in power
No the record label and the managers did and we all know why they never have been brought to Justice
Just from afar, but agreed. Also, that Larry Graham had a hold on him from his childhood. The whole Jehovah's Witness thing could bear investigation. That's just "my" opinion. RIP Michael
â@@jennifermarlow.Who is Larry Graham ?
This confirms EVERYTHING that his niece & nephews have been saying for yrs!!! He was so unbelievably generous, good, & loving that it was & still is hard for people to believe that such an amazing human could exist. As a forever fan who sat upon her fathers shoulders at the age of 5 to see him perform live, Thank you for continuing to speak truth on his behalf! He will forever be the greatest entertainer of all time!!! His legacy is forever cemented in earth's history!!!
The real question is why did guvz go out of their way to ruin Michael's life and career?
And why would people who'm Michael had so generously treated, go out of their way to fabricate damaging lies about him?
We live in a profoundly disturbed world if we can flip on a dime against someone who genuinely just wanted to spread cheer.

Well said
Porqué?? Muy fåcil LA ENVIDIA Y. LA CODICIA.
Pero debemos estar muy tranquilos!!! JesĂșs se lo llevĂł al Cielo, xq aquĂ Michael YA TUVO SUFICIENTE.
Y tengo muy claro, que OPRAH y demĂĄs vĂboras estarĂĄn pagando con creces todo lo que le hicieron sufrir. El KARMA pone todo en su sitio SIEMPRE.
Michael, aquĂ nos tienes a TODO EL PLANETA, DĂNDOTE MUCHĂSIMO. AMOR.
How refreshing to hear the truth about Michael instead of all the media propaganda. Thank you for posting this Dodge. I wish everyone would watch it and know the real MJ
My pleasure Christine đ
ââ@@DodgeWoodall
Ditto. Thank you very much for the truth. It's a shame so many bad things happened to MJ, a guy who did so much good in this world and in his life. It's a relief to finally have all the lies about him swept away. Many thanks again. â€
Nobody knows the real M Jackson why was his sister on 90s TV saying he takes them to his room alone just him and a child so it's his word against a child.
He slept on the floor. Why, this makes no sense just like fiddes. When dodge asks about sleeping he says like he knows he slept on the floor, what MJackson couldn't afford another bed. Madness
â@@jamestroman6051Read LaToya book she wrote. It explains why she was forced to say that abt MJ.
As a child living in Detroit, I witnessed the beginning of the Jackson 5, the Supremes and Little Stevie Wonder and the birth of Motown. It was an incredible time and I followed them all my life. I am gutted over how Michael's life turned out as I grew up with him.
@doreeneclose He was just a person, Nothing special - except he was a great entertainer.
Let me guess, you cried too when Princess Diana she died in a car crash - back in the day.
My co-workers ( mostly women) were so depressed.
It was silly - then and now.
Michael Jackson..... meh......
The cultis took him off the Jackson 5 band because they see the light of God in him more than the others. They took him out from there band to destroy his life and not to help him prosper.. Since they were not able to kill him threw all the surgeries, and bleach, they decide to make up a fake family for him, after reaping his money
Awesome how absolutely fabulous that must have been!
The one thing I think he forgot to add was that Michael's bedroom was treated like a living room with friends, family, and trusted individuals. That room was so massive and it was two stories. I don't have a huge bedroom, but my room is where my friends hang out where I eat and where I watch TV , pay my bills, work, ect. It's my command center and I still would rather be in my room doing it all than anywhere else in my house and I live in a big house.
I'm at ease and I can relax and feel safe and get way more done
McCauley Culkin said the same thing about Michael's bedroom being like a normal persons 2 storey house.
Yes and he slept mostly in second bedroom upstairs,kids said they woke up doing the night,Michael was not there,but upstairs n other bedroom alone.đ
And the beds he slept in with boys were so massive like an ocean
Lol 2 stories? It wasnt 2 stories.
Same my bedroom is a hub.
I always felt that people were lying about MJ. Even Cauley (home alone kid) said MJ was never inappropriate to him or any kid. They killed him because he was gaining too much power and he was educating the public about the dangers of government control. A lot of his music was written about THEM.
âThey donât really care đ¶ about usâ đ”
True
Watch europa the last battle documentary.
Yup the globalist elites, all the propaganda and Hollyweird.
H e took that back and said he tried getting in his bed with him. So there you go .
So sad đą
This is the guy you would hope to be on your staff to protect you.. He is so measured , safe warm and , mature at such a young age , and had so much integrity , what a kind human . Not many humans in the world like this:
But he cannot protect hiimself. The white he was dealing with turn him to a ball. He was just covered by the blood of JESUS. All his ruin and disgrace comes from the white he was dealing with.. Be it women, men and children. They donot love him, but are on a mission in his life.mission. .
This is the guy that you would at first think tell all bad but he told all good about him
This was the best interview about Michael that Iâve ever heard. Amazing.
Glad you enjoyed David đ„
Team MJ
This was a great interview. His friend erased any doubts of child molestation/abuse I had about Michael Jackson, it all makes sense now. How heartbreaking it must have been for Michael. It sounds like he truly loved and appreciated his fans đ„čâ€â€
A great Mexican psychologist, diagnosed Michael Jackson with a case of infantilism, based on a lot of interviews and suggested that he was innocent of all accusations.
Same here. I thought he must of been guilty before I heard this interview.
Nonsense
@@etnieomg đLoL
@@Sheepwillbesheep hehe, there were so many people saying this. I'm not motivated by money so I wouldn't think that people would do this for money but if they had only fought the first one like MJ wanted. His life may have taken a different path.
What an incredible interview and an incredible man. After watching so many documentaries drag his name through the mud it was refreshing to hear from one of his genuine friends. I think we would all feel honored and blessed to have Matt as a friend. Thank you for sharing your memories with us. I canât believe it was 2 hours!! It is now 2:30 am here but I couldnât stop listening!!!
Wow. Ive only seen documentaries that show how ridiculous all the pido allegations were. Mainstream Medium _always_ sends the same messages, no matter what. Thankfully, all of the documentaries I've seen were on CZcams, which, let's be honest, is a larger medium with broader audiences and different sources featured. They usually do an excellent job highlighting their relationships then the brilliant people who sometimes get a bit frustrated but most who calmly (and honestly, in my strong opinion) deny anything to do with Michael and anything untoward about children.
Let's be honest, mainstream television is on it's way out. This means it will be on this platform, where there are _many_ opposing sources and viewpoints, lol! They won't and already don't, run the show around here.
I hope you begin seeing how many opposing & truthful, imo, podcasts and positive documentaries or "mockumentaries" (shorter and without a huge production budget) that there are on CZcams. â€
U hear one interview from his friend and u really believe MJ was innocent. This guy alone gave up his marriage to be MJ's "friend"
Michael himself said he shared his bed with boys. What innocent man does that? Marie Presley herself said their marriage was for publicity.
Oprah was absolutely disgraceful during the interview he gave her. Her chickens are all coming home to roost.
Lol, same here đ
Who?
Iâm 61. I grew up with Michael and his brothers. Iâve been in heated conversations about these sex allegations. How could someone write âWill you be thereâ and âMan in the Mirrorâ and then turn around and torture children. RIP Michael Jackson. He was amazingly talented. He was crushed and alone in the end. Now every entertainer credits him for his music. If he was defended by all the phonyâs and knew he was loved, maybe he would still be alive today.
This was the first time I saw your program. Brilliant-You interview without shouting over the guest. Iâll be back.
Evil can write beautiful songs. Just look at R Kelly with I Believe I can fly.
10 years!!!! The best law enforcement in the world couldnât find a single piece of evidence. Leave MJ alone.
I think it's extremely admiral that Matt was loyal to Michael throughout. Big love Dodge. Kindest regards, Richard U.K
Loyal he sued Tito Jackson over, just a few grand,5 thousand. Fiddes words. He was using Michael for money like everyone else.
The Hollywood swamp threw him under the bus. Hopefully those who did this to him will face their own crimes. He was unique, gifted and still the best in his field.
They certainly did!
Explain all the little boys who slept in his bed... I'll wait.. ... ... ...
Absolutely right about his talent but it's a bit weird inviting 12 year olds into your bedroom and expecting no backlash, come on be realistic
His bedroom had rooms. Either way it doesnât matter. He faced his judgment. Shouldnât even be a discussion if you have an ounce of Faith
@@vicksta8875Michael was still trying to get his child experience. All kids have sleep overs. He just wanted to have a childhood. He also slept on floor
You never heard of a Man by the name Elvis? AKA! The King!!
People think the things Michael did were weird. But he wasnât a normal person. He didnât live a normal life from childhood. He lost his childhood. Children were the only ones he could trust. And amazing he built Neverland for the kids!!!
Matt has never change his story such a good friend to Mike.â€â€â€
Matt is actually a fraud. He only met mj twice but has used that to make money. What Matt is doing is research alot of truths and fit himself in.
â€
I never believed the lies about Michael. In my heart I always believed in his innocence.
Wades girlfriend was Michael Jacksonâs niece when he was supposedly being molested , and she went on a podcast and spoke about his blatant lies because the gravy train ran out and he was looking for more.
Michael was too good for this world and humans sure do have a lot of parasitic tendencies.đą
I love you forever Michael!
God Bless You in Heavenâ€ïž
I feel the exact same sentiment as U do physicallyâ
Michael Jackson GOD rest his soul is a tremendous gift đ to humanity.
He touched millions/billions of soul ---
Legendary figureâ
IF he only knew there are tons of people believe in his innocenceâ
Like Diana he seemed to revel and create his own problems and flirting with the media is fatal,.as this interviewer said " this ain't right"
Wade was molested for YEARS. He didn't have his little 7 year old girlfriend over there every single night. You are defending an obvious monster.
ya he had a whole system to alert him in his bedroom when someone came near when he had a kid in there. All the kids had the same story of what he likes to do. He def diddled kids. i know it hurts because you enjoyed his music. but he was a bad guy.
@@luxuryseaviewvillas6744- I believe his family and those closest to him. Donât much care what those who tore him down think.. like you. He was also acquitted in court. His accusers backed down but you know? Even after watching this? Please âŠ..
You should play the lottery because you would definitely be a billionaire already!
Michael trusted children, because they never judged him. He didn't have a childhood, and the lack of experiences of being a child and then teenage must have traumatized him a lot. It was the adults around the children he met, that wanted to take advantage of him. And still are trying really hard to bring him down. The entire industry used Michael and he was naive. This podcast was really good ! The weasel Bashir should apologize profusely and publicly to both Michael and Princess Diana. At the end of the day, Michael's words were quoted, clipped and pasted to fit a narrative that sold mediocre tabloids. He was used and exploited. But he will always remain in the hearts of his fans and in music history, as a genius !
MJ is still amazing, IDC I love that man, I won't listen to anyone else's song's but his
he was pedophl also
I'm a big fan of his especially his Jackson 5 days onto his Thriller period. But don't doubt his guilt. Even if he had hangers on & parasites on his coat tails
Doesnt mean to you can rape kids.
EXACTLY. !!!!!
Thank you Matt, so glad you came forward and told the real story of Michael.
Its about time. Wish he would have came forward when Michael needed him to
I feel so vindicated!! I never believed that he was a child m**ester. I kind of grew up with him, born in 1959, and had the teen magazine centerfolds of The Jackson Five on my wall. Then just switching to Michael, along with Donny Osmond,Bobby Sherman, etc... I could see how shy he was in interviews and felt a kinship because I was very shy when I was younger. I could just tell that he was a sweet and gentle kid, and I never believed that he changed into a p*do when he grew up. I just knew that he didn't have that in him. He actually WAS a genius, with the tape and all that! I always wondered about those things too!! They really messed him up with all the accusations, and now we know that they were VULTURES wanting money!! They turned his life into a living hell. Rest in Peace Michael. I think everyone knows the truth now.
Always nice to hear Matt's dialogues and interviews.
Anyone who wants to know more information about Michael can consult the podcasts called "Michael Jackson Case for Innocence", "Red Jackson Dance" (on CZcams), "The Mjcast", and the documentaries "Square One MJ", "The Lies of Leaving Neverlandâ, âMichael Jackson Private Home Moviesâ, âMichael Jackson Take Two The Footage You Were Never Meant to Seeâ, âMichael Jackson The Humanitarianâ, The FBI files on MJ, and âLoving Neverlandâ. These sources of information are precious and rich in facts that the medias (especially in the UK) refuse to adequately present on him.
You are spot on. God bless.
Screenshotted! Thank you for making that effort, Simon. đïžâ€ïž
Ah yep Iâve watched and listen to all of those :))
Hannah savage on you tube too x and Seth plays does reactions vids x he never knew any mj stuff before - hard to belive but itâs true and he goes on a real journey itâs awesome to watch and so genuine
So glad this interview was done
Thank God Michael had a good friend like Matt. God bless you being in his life and telling the real truth for Michael Jackson.
Sometimes when you see that the podcast is two hours long, you think youâre going to last about twenty minutes. These two hours flew by. It felt like a privilege to listen to a conversation between friends, not an interview. I personally never thought that MJ was a âfiddlerâ as you put it đ due to thinking, why would any parent let their child stay at any adults house etc, however you still question the the thought process of why have them there. It was a really balanced interview of difficult questions, letting Matt answer and explain without feeling uncomfortable, all the while being able to dig deeper. Matt is the epitome of loyalty and integrity, morals that donât appear to exist or are shown a lot these days. I really really enjoyed this episode, thank you.
I totally agree with you about that!! I didn't know how long I would watch, but like you said...it flew by!! I never believed it either, just because I kind of grew up with him. Seeing how shy and gentle he was all along the way. All of a sudden he's a child m**ester?! No, I just wasn't buying it.
Now after reading that comment I'm looking forward to listening to this
@@rozsheehy6146 I was open minded to listening to the accusers side but something never quite seemed to add up. Thatâs not to say that everyone thatâs found not guilty isnât innocent or those that pay people off arenât guilty either, it was just my opinion. Some of what he says also links in to what other friends of MJ have said over the years. I remember once seeing Russell Crowe in an interview talking about how MJ used to prank him all the time. I just think itâs a shame it was in his death that one of the accusers came forward to say it wasnât true and not before he died
I ask because it was not right and he died same as I have been done to me he was set up so was I both off us inocent money from hate and abuse against me too my impending death why he's inocent I'm inocent proven in law but once said people hurt and attack do bad harm they enjoy destroying a good father a good man yes that's reality but a few who know the truth yes they keep. You from harm trouble it too late it's hard for me being told my life will end soon all because I ask her not too and she did I walked away never to return but as I walked away the words she screamed resonates in my heart and soul she scream I will destroy you you will never see our children yes lot off cases lots off lies untrue thing said about my self even thought she made it all up are child told child servicers an detective no charge no arrest nothing inocent not happy with the out come she has made sure of the threats but she nos nothing off what Go in the back ground and intelligence the local authority have and the police have iv done what I lasted for I ask they be made accountable they have all off statements and videos to offer to crown to press charges and become accountable for my pain and what is going to be a premature death the damage not possible in any surgery in any top surgeon I wait and hope it's quick I prey to not keep suffering yes I still love her and are children I protect her from harm by others and are children from a distance she's ok just been used by the monster she went back too after me eight years we where great two children then he came back you know the one who did not want me to talk the one when I was an infant il leave it there be blessed remember the lord Jesus is with us all all the time
@@rebeccagranger301
I agree. They broke his spirit. It was so sad to watch those vultures, with GLEE in their eyes, bringing him to court, ruining his life. So very sad.
Hearing this from a friendâs angle makes his death sound so much more suspicious. Especially when he says family and friends had problems and were being kept away from Michael. MJ sounds like he was a great friend and treasured his close friends and family. Itâs so odd how drastically his ânewâ management made it all change around him to keep him isolated, how can anyone not find that really weird? Sounds like Michael had real reason to be paranoid and worry about who was around him after so many used and abused his kindness and exploited him over the stupidest things, and many of those people sound dangerously delusional in their belief that he owed them anything more than what he already did for them. They couldnât just be grateful for that is just disgusting. So sad how he couldnât just be himself and that people wouldnât just let him be. People were terrible to him his whole life, but luckily he had a few that he could trust. RIP to the king MJ â€
Why are we still talking about exposing MJ. Do one about Epstein or the other folks. Letâs this man rest. Ugh
Funny you mention Epstein, because wasn't Michael one of the high profile names on that list of his?đ
Before Marie Presley passed away she did another interview that was much more in depth about Michael Jackson and you could tell he was telling the truth. She was really in love with him and they did have a real relationship so you haters out there hereâs the truth so what are you gonna do now, let him rest in peace
Lisa Marie Presley, not Marie
I bet you got the jab too....
Only Michael and those who said they were abused know the truthâŠ..we only can guess, or choose to believe but we truly donât know! His housekeeper gave a different story from someâŠâŠwe will never know!
Pfffftt lol we got a funny, thanks for that!
@@nettie4408
Iâve been a Michael Jackson fan for 40 yrs, Iâve seen him live twice, and I 100 % believe that heâs innocent †itâs beyond comprehension how so many people thought they were entitled to Michael money and time.
Michael was the King of Pedos, remember that when you listen to his music
Explain how he could be innocent, Michael was involved with Diddy
Michael was also involved with Epstien
@@TopG-lu1hqyou sad clown đđđđđ
@@Vorroza226howâs that clown? He went once.. as did Bruce Willis.. and a whole bunch of other celebrities you wally
Thank you for this interview!And thank you for being Michael's true friend!đđ
Michael hung with kids because he had no child life , his father was brutal with the boys practicing in the garage, he said he would look out the window and see other kids playing and it made him sad. he also loved children and having a fun time. He enjoyed seeing kids laugh and have fun, i love kids and if i had a lot of money i would spoil them also. There will never be an Artist like him again !!! RIP MJ
Possibly the greatest podcast interview ever. I could listen to Mr Fiddes all night. An incredible story, amazing insight to the legend of MJ. Matt comes across honest, knowledgeable, humble and with all he has gained in life he still has Jackos back. Thanks Dodge for asking the right questions and for possibly clearing up some huge questions on MJ.
But didn't dodge say "come on it's a bit weird inviting 12 year olds into the bedroom" let's.be real
If any other rock star did the same thing their careers would be quickly over
â@@kippsguitar6539You've inadvertently created a clickable link due to no space after a period/full stop. Careful!
Michael should have walked out. He was so naive.
What I wicked interview!!!! The most heartfelt and genuine story!!! â€
Barf.....
Matt really seems like a true friend to Michael and a great guy!
I am so thankful to have heard this. May MJ rest in peace.
Dodge I love the balance you have when asking the difficult/tricky questions but also being considerate to your guest. Nice job as always
Truly Michael is a remarkable phenomenal gifted kind-hearted human soul, suffered autoimmune illnesses and horrified accidents during stage performances, and a humanitarian charitable champion to this date. Given at least half a billion dollar to charities. Guiness book records speak for itself. Honour, value and treasure forever presence Michael. God bless you always.
My daughter is 9yo, approx 4 to 5 years ago , i showed her MV of Smooth Criminal. She instantly fell in love with him. MJ forever !!
Bless Michael Jackson. Matt is so refreshing to finally share his story and memories..........thank goodness. MATT WAS A DEAR FRIEND .....MANY BLESSINGS
One of my best mates, Gary Dunn, hung out with Michael for four days when Michael came to Perth, Western Australia, for a Telethon many years ago. He was staying at the Rendezvous Hotel in Scarborough (at beach) and Gaz and his wife took their two young daughters to try if they could see him if he came out, plus he waved from the balcony. Michael spotted them ~ I don't know why them ~ and got his bodyguard to bring them in and up to the penthouse. They clicked and got on very well straight away, so Michael invited them back for four days.
Another mate, Tim Bradsmith, who designs lighting for concerts and stage shows for many famous people/groups, and he worked with Michael as his Tour Director while in Perth. Tim said how Michael secretly had several shipping containers brought in that contained thousands of toys which were secretly distributed to all the kids in Princess Margaret Childrens Hospital and various charities. Michael didn't want anyone to know he'd done that.
I produce a tv show called "The Profile" where Gary interviews famous Australian musicians [ have done 126 episodes ] and Gary and Tim did interviews (Gaz didn't interview himself - lol - another of the 4 Producers - Alan Simpson- did him). I'll post the links under here as they both have great stories about Michael and said he was a really nice person.
Great interview, mate!

Like Prince, Michael was a Jehovah's Witness for yrs. Because of his Mother. Their teachings are they do good things like give those toys to children, and donate money and other things, but you do not tell or brag about it.. same as Prince who also gave things and lots of money to help others. Its given from the Heart and its your calling.. there are the stories about Michael when became famous , he still disguised himself and went door to door telling folks the word about Jehovah's Witness and passing on the teachings.. it seemed tho that most people knew it was Michael who was visiting them..can you imagine having him in your house telling the word..Prince did the same thing telling the Jehovah teachings to others but i am not sure if he went house to house like Michael ,but he did pass the word ..
Only just got round to finishing this. What an outstanding interview. Matt is sat there so humble, after mixing with some of the most famous people on the planet. I was and still am a fan of MJs music and to hear how he was, from someone who actually knows was fascinating. It takes a real bloke to come from nothing to what Matt has built today. Inspiring stuff.
Not really. It's the network of freemasonry through Judaism. Bnai Brith etc. Its sa to say they regarded Matt as a good goy
I worked for a "removals company" in Bahrain. We moved his furniture out of his palace sized home in Bahrain in 2007 & into our storage after the family "fled" Bahrain - leaving a trail of debt. Literally Everything incl clothes, kids toys & even pets were abandoned đ„șđ.... We had access to every room - except his bedroom as the MJ security protecting the bedroom wing was insane! To my knowledge the moving bill was never settled. Disappointing - but still never believed the accusations.
What happened to the pets? So sad. đđđđ
20 plus years ago I emailed Uri Geller and asked if he could call and wish my husband a happy birthday birthday. He said sure he would. To my surprise, he called.
Thank you both! Matt, you are the truest friend that Mike ever had. Unfortunately, his first security who Mike saw as a second father, his cigar-smoking manager and his lawyer, took advantage of him & secretly dipped into Mikeâs wallet. But as busy as Mike was, he somehow knew & had to let people he considered âfriendsâ go. You were faithful but AEG, Sony and others created his downward spiral; but Mike stayed strong to his game-plan and fought courageously for his children, his family, his fans, and his great love for mankind and the world-at-large.
â€Rest In Peace, Michael â€
Very rarely do i find a channel where i can sit through every single episode without loosing interest at any point, top channel
Totally agree
Same here 10/10!
I was just about to comment and say exactly the same thing, Such a fantastic, easy to follow conversation. Brilliant.
Exactly the same. The interviews are so captivating!
Losing. Not loosing.
Lol i honestly think people these days thought MJ was _famous_ but he was so much more famous than your mind can perceive. He was soooo loved across the entire world. Fellow celebs used to lose their shit around him, and thats happened for literally *NO ONE* since. The hysteria around him even up to 2009 would make Taylor swift cry. Yes MJ was that guy. Not just the most famous person that ever lived, but the most loved too. I know, i lived through it, and his fame was 10x the most famous of today.
Michael Jackson was as pure as they come. He was very sadly manipulated, tortured and then crucified from childhood over the course of 40 years in the spotlight, in which the world witnessed his abuse in real time. And now they wish to destroy his legacy for money. God is watching, I truly believe that! RIP MJ, thank you for everything you did for us đ
I had to pause this an hour in and come back to it, never thought you could grieve twice for someone until now this episode was really powerful for me who grew up loving Michael jackson. Thank-you dodge for this episode it needs to be shared around the world đ
This is so refreshing to hear . The truth is so " obvious" when it is discussed i this type of format!!!
Thank you!
I can't thank you enough for having this interview with Mr Fiddes. I grew up listening to Michael Jackson's pop music, and what I knew of him was through the media and what the legend wanted me to see, which went completely sideways towards the end and the outright extortion of a celebrity isn't new, but using one's child to do it (with the insurance companies supporting it) is beyond horrific.
Mr. Fiddes revealed the side of Michael that I wish the world would have gotten to see and know, and one that I always wondered about. The 20th-century music industry was definitely one of product development, marketing, showmanship, and delivery - all meeting the expectations that were created with the pressures to exceed them for longevity - and Michael Jackson is a true legend. I'm thankful that Mr Fiddes shared his experiences with and introduced us to Mr Jackson.
I also wanted to thank Mr Fiddes for his candor, authenticity, and genuineness. As much as I loved the discussion about Mr Jackson, I absolutely loved the conversations about his life journey, experiences, and how he approached and handled life's difficult situations. He's inspiring and is a breath of fresh air.
Finally, I recently found your CZcams channel, and I'm definitely thankful for it. All of your interviews are incredibly well done, just like with Mr. Fiddes. Your authenticity, genuineness, and great follow-up questions bring out the best in them.
All the best and thank you for your channel once again.
Michael Jackson INNOCENT
WOW !!!!!!!!!!! đź đąâ€â€â€
đ
Thank you to your guest for speaking out for Michael Jackson... Thank you so much.
I hate that everything he did in his life is clouded by that terrible label.
When I hear people still accusing him... I get so frustrated and angry. I have researched with an open mind and now know that he was innocent all along.
Thank you for having this guest on your show. I was angry at your questions... because it seemed like you had your mind made up...but your questions gave your guest a chance to give details and he answered with candor and honesty.
Matt, I am sure Michael is looking down right now smiling and very thankful of what you do and your loyalty. Mind you he couldâve gotten more money by making more controversy but he chose to tell the truth and defend him. Heâs an honorable man.
I always knew he was innocent because I knew Michael. Mike loved kids and not in that way, Mike would never hurt a child. He would hurt anybody who hurt a child, Mike in a way was still in a child like state, which is a good thing to be, like the Bible says, if you don't make it to Heaven as a child, then you might never make it. I too am in a somewhat similar way, only saved people know what I'm talking about. Way back when all this started, I even kept telling people, Watch!! I bet at least one of those kids will come out in the future and admit that they lied and were put up to it because that kind of guilt will haunt you forever. There definitely is a God and he definitely wont let you sleep with that on your conscience. Which is why that kids father committed suicide, which usually happens when somebody does something that heinous. Kind of like how Judus committed suicide after betraying Jesus. It's never worth it and trust me, you don't want to test it to find out because it might be too late.... R.I.P Mike, hope you're in Heaven where you belong kind gentle soul. đđđđ
I feel like Michael was so full of love... He was never able to be a kid, so he held onto the childlike naivety. The things he was accused of were so far from his loving and childlike spirit that he just couldn't grasp how playing with and loving children could possibly be wrong when in his mind, it was like saying that loving with your whole heart and soul was wrong. So many people betrayed his trust and in turn essentially sold his soul for money. The fact that media portrayed him as a monster does not mean that he was one. In a world that is too often so dark, Michael was actually just a good person whose spirit gave humanity a glimpse at the hope the world really needs more of. Both Michael and Lisa Marie died much too young, leaving a huge void where there voices once were
Yes I agree, many people do not understand a good heart, innocence and naivety in a person, as many do not have the same heart or mindset as MJ had, so turn something pure and innocent into something shameful and evil, sad really.
Michael is an age old story. We build heroes and then we have to destroy them. From the beginning, Mike was an anomaly that stood out, a sacrificial lamb thrown to the wolves. The little boy became a man-child because he was frozen in time and was not allowed or able to grow up. The wolves wanted him to stay 8 years old for life. `+
Have you ever watched the South Park episode on this subject? Itâs not about MJ but it touches on how the mob sacrifices celebrities. I donât know if MJ was guilty or not but people are still making a ton of money off his talent and reputation. Mr Feddes included.
Dodge THANK YOU so much for doing that interview, you have just put MJ back in my music collection.
I had a narc as a father and although I am a woman ( I feel like a child ) I knew 100 per cent, he was innocent. I am also an addict in recovery. I was an alcoholic from the moment I lifted a drink at 12. I was in AA at 16, Hospitals, Jail and multiple rehabs later, 30 years after my first drink, I had a psychic change! Sober since 8.12. 2022, Thank you Jesus! Micheal Jackson Rocked!!!
I knew Michael was NOT a bad person! Iâm grateful that you came out and told your truth!đđŒâ€ïž
What I †about this channel and Iâve read some comments on here already, 2 hrs long ⊠not bothered, topic⊠not bothered, guest⊠not bothered because itâs always interesting and always eye opening. And lastly Dodge what an interviewer you are, you ask the difficult questions and you are so blunt at times it makes me roll about laughing but thatâs just you being you and asking the questions that pop into your head at that moment. Itâs very easy to judge from afar but listening to peopleâs real stories it hits home. Dodge we love you and keep em coming man, much love â€ïž
Always knew Michael was completely innocent. Pour guy couldnât even go shopping for a coffee and donut. Lived a life in solitary confinement.
Everyone that didn't know Michael and thinks they know who or what he was should see this interview.
Great job, and thanks for posting.
when I was an eight year old kid I got my very first record, it was a Jackson five album and I would get up early on Saturday morning to watch their cartoon. I'm sixty now and think I was pretty close to Michaels age. I hope this doesn't sound strange to anyone, but I so wished I was black as I admired him so much.
I so appreciate Mr. Fiddes' loyalty, humility, and courage.
100% best interview about Michael Jackson I have ever seen.
I also wish he had gotten on the plane to go see him, as well (in final week).
MJ â€
In this interview I seriously learned a lot more about Michael than I have before. You can tell that the body guard is very loyal and has high respect for mj. I never once believed the allegations. May Michael rest in peace.
Beautiful interview! You did a wonderful job conducting it. Hearing Matt Fiddes, Macauley Caulkin, and many others, recall their experience with Michael, one could see how close they were--true friends. Time waits for noone, but we can find forgiveness and closure...I am sure Michael would be very proud of this project!!â€đșđżđ«đđđż
michael jackson was ahead of his time and died before his timeâŠtime is everything, cherish it.
Unbelievable how they treated him đâ€ïž I have and will always love you Michael đïž
I found this podcast by accident. It has been utterly fascinating. I am such a huge fan of Michael. I am going to see the Jacksons in 2 mths time. It was great so hear about the personal life of Michael. Huge credit to you both for this interview. It was very grounded and down to earth. Thank you.
When the media says look left, look rightâŠ
Many of MJâs closest friends also say similar things. The allegations were bogus, and was an easy target. Such a talent. May he RIP.
The Talented Mr. Peado.

My heart fell knowing what I knew about Michael. I Grew Up In Michaels Time he was Born was in 1958, and I was 1960. I was born. The way Brashire lied and shatter Michaels life is a shame.
Dodge pushes back... challenges... stays respectful... ends with positivity... Very good interview. Enjoyable... you got a new fan
Good man and appreciate your message đđ„
Extremely wealthy& famous, yet so very misunderstood that MJ wasâŠIt saddens Me to hear the truth of MJâŠHe deserved a more secure stable private life.
Matt, youâre a legend in your own right. But I just want to thank you for being a true one to Mike. He knew he could rely on you and you brought him so much comfort, I am sure. Thank you so much †in a world full of manipulators and extortionists you were solid and faithful †May you always prosper and be fruitful, my friend. You still protect our Michael, and by extension protect us fans â€â€ An example of a real man, to protect those he cares for.
EDIT::my sincere condolences on your loss of a best friend. People want to know all the details but forget the human side of all this. Putting all the glitz and glamour aside, you lost your best mate, and that must really hurt. The fans are still grieving and we were never as close as you. It broke my heart when you said that people were shouting âpedoâ at him and he heard that disgusting slur and got teary. Poor Michael. Rest in peace. And condolences to you, Mr. Fiddes. The host was a bit sour, and even though you did a stellar job explaining difficult situations, he wasnât listening properly. God bless you, Matt and Michael đ«Ąđâđ»đđ
No one ever speaks about that he took the time to be an artist. He did wonderful paintings!
Uri was right, the world needed Michael. We didnât even realize it until he was gone
I've seen the article of chandler admitting he was forced by his father by money but nobody is interested in the truth
I have known all along that MJ was not the monster they made us believe! I hope all the parties that had anything to do with MJs downfall have a warm place in hell waiting for them. Thank you Matt Fiddes for finally clearing up any doubts about MJ.
I appreciate Michael Jacksonâs bodyguard, exposing the truth. Unlike the host of this show main purpose was to find dirt years after Michaelâs death.
MJ would be so proud of his kids and the adults theyâve become. Say what you want, Michaelâs love for his children was crystal clear.
I think Katherine Jackson did a wonderful job with them.
Wow what a life, I have to say Matt has changed my mind about Michael Jackson (for the better). In the late seventies me and my wife worked in a nightclub in Sheffield called the Fiesta Club the Jackson Five appeared there unfortunately I wasnât on the roster that night my wife was, she says to this day that it was the best Gig ever.

The best interview I ever heard about this man. My brother you could tell you was a friend.
And also a real Irish man
Michael Jackson would be very proud of him if he was still here today.
What a wonderful show. Thank you. I felt his regret in the end and it brought me to tears.
Was really nice listening to him talking about Michael. I will always remember him in concert in uk cant remember where , but was definitely in the 80s. Me and my best friend who's passed away now. (Me Julie) she loved Michael Jackson so much , so talked me into just going and waiting outside the concert. Because we couldn't get tickets. We could hear it all and sat listening to it. Near the end Michael told them to open the gates for people who couldn't be there... That was us.. ohhh my God, we ran and ran to near the middle. Don't know how but we got to see him for the last song's
Was amazing, the atmosphere was out of this world.
Both given me great memories RIP đđœ
Michael was pure, he loved children, he was a gift to this world. The elites tried to destroy him coz he wouldnt comply thats it!! Love how his bodyguard is telling the truth...these guys see and know everything!!!!! đ
Best Question of the Interview " Was he black or white at that time?" 35:19 LMAO
From the beginning of watching your videos Dodge I knew you had something special to offer. There's loads of channels where they interview personalities, people of interest etc. What makes your channel unique is your subtle style of getting the best out of people, you are respectful, humble, humourous (When it's appropriate) and most importantly, you let people speak.
This was another great interview and totally unexpected, the longer it went on the better it got, a true eye opener.
Thank you Dodge for your honesty, I have the greatest of respect for you.
you said it better than i ever could have...the body of work Dodge is compiling shows us just how bad the MSM are at this...
What a lovely compliment and much appreciated đ
I wear double hard boxer underpants
Thank you, Matt and Dodge, for this insightful interview! I so admired MJâs creative talent in music and dance. May he rest in peace.đ
This was soooo needed. I feel relieved to hear it from the horses mouth. The Jacksoon 5's album "ABC" was my very first record as a child (along with the Nutcracker Suite: Tchaikovsky). Takeaway: people are evil, and greedy. Michael was super generous, clever, and naive. He was human. The spotlight killed him. RIP.
Class work as usual Dodge, keep the interesting guests coming â€
I met Michael by chance by wandering into a Los Angeles comic book shop that was curiously open really early in the morning. (probably they opened especially for him) I got the feeling that I wasnât supposed to be there but that no one had noticed me. He was walking around the shop and the owner was following him around carrying a box into which they would put whatever comics he wanted. He was dressed in all black with sunglasses and a black sherpa type pointed hat and a face mask. I only recognized him by his shoes. I noticed several body guards.. I wonder if Matt was one of them? I said something to him and he kindly responded. (seemed to be a genuinely kind person) I was pretty nervous and so left shortly afterwards because I realized that all eyes in the room were on me. đ
Michael Jackson is resting peacefully in Heaven. He was a kind and generous human being who just was misunderstood. May God continue to bless him
This depiction of Michael Jackson is the image that I always had of him. I never believed such ridiculous stories about him. Why would I? The media lies consistently all the time.
