49
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: pocket full of about twenty to thirty photos, and as.

50
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: People approached, he'd be getting out like a referee with

51
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,040

00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,920

00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 3: there as they're coming near to him. He goes, there

56
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: you go, and they go, oh thanks, and turn around.

57
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 3: He goes, it just gets me from a to be

58
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,880

Speaker 4: After its name on it.

69
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,680

Speaker 1: She didn't to start the day annoyed with her favorite

71
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:03,720

00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:20,160

Speaker 2: You're really how could you possibly know that.

81
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: I'd like to believe in that one? Okay, all right?

82
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,280

00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: Did you write to Mickey?

87
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 4: When I was nine years old? Back in ninety one,

88
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 4: I wrote to Michael Jackson. Oh yeah, yeah, Well I

89
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 4: saw that. Gave up after like a year because I

90
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 4: thought I was never going to get a response to me,

91
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 4: and gave up.

92
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: He moved on to somebody house.

93
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 4: Well pretty much no. I waited patiently, but two years

94
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 4: later I got a response. It was the Michael Jackson

95
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 4: Fan Club, and I was all excited. I restored my

96
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 4: faith in you, Vanity. None of the other kids at

97
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 4: school would believe me, so I took the letter to

98
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 4: school and showed everybody. Look. I got a response to

99
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 4: Michael Jackson and they all said it was fake. And

100
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 4: I don't want.

101
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: There's nothing worse at school when people don't believe that

102
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: bubbles did they?

103
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: He just gets that chin to do and that's where

104
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 3: he lives here in that fair ground haunted house.

105
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 4: It was pretty cool though, because, like you know, it

106
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 4: came from his fan club and it had his little

107
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 4: logo in the corner doing the moonwalk and signed by

108
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 4: Michael Michael Joseph Jackson and stuff like that.

109
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: It was a little middle name in that to make

110
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: it that I didn't know there was a Joseph in

111
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 1: the middle.

112
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, he's MJJ was I think after his father.

113
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 4: But yeah, that was pretty cool. So that was pretty exciting.

114
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 4: But yeah, I don't know where that letter would be now.

115
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 4: I think mum chucked it out a long time ago.

116
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 4: I think it was just junk.

117
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: Last couple of years burnt it.

118
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,960
