Okay.

It was a...

I'll try and shorten it up a little bit, but it was, um, uh, we basically were told that Michael was not gonna be home during Christmas, and, uh, if anybody had other plans, 'cause normally we would plan on Christmas at Neverland because Michael was always home at Christmas.

And, um, and of course change, plans changed and, and, uh, the only other person that could operate the steam train was on vacation, so I basically got s- I was at the ranch 24/7 for about three or four weeks.

[laughs] And I was there on, um, Christmas Eve.

I had shut the steam train off, and went back to the r- uh, the old, uh, ranch house in the middle of the zoo, and, um, that's where I was staying.

And taking a shower, I was in my sweats watching TV, and it was about 11:30 at night and the phone rang, and it was...

So can you tell us a little bit about that?

Uh, okay, so speaking of that, I think it might be related to this last pass that you brought, which is this says, You Are Not Alone.

That was an event that we did after the trial kind of celebrating the victory and thanking all the people that stood by him.

And, and, uh, I can't remember how many people.

It was, uh, it wasn't huge, but it was several hundred people.

And, um, you know, just kind of a fun, fun day at Neverland, the movies, amusement park, and train rides, and whatnot.

But o- one of the f- funny parts, and somewhere out there in, you know, Michael's publicist has video of this 'cause they were, they were, his, his team was there videotaping, and I'd love to see this [laughs] 'cause I had to look like a fool.

They called up, uh, a bunch of the...

Wow.

was right? And this is one that I'm very interested to get your on the spot opinion

on.

So this is like so tough because my instinct is always to defend Darrow.

However, Iron Gold starts and like Darrow is very much a mess and you can feel it.

Everybody around him can feel it.

And Severo is very loyal.

So of course he goes with him to start.

I'm calling you to the mat here.
