Añadido: 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]Y'all gotta go see Michael before I end up leaving the theaters. Now granted, it's a biopic, so nobody gonna really spoil anything, but I'd rather see it in theaters before I end up on the streaming service. Do I remember when Michael died? Oh, 100% fam. Mike dying.

[00:00:08]Michael Jackson passing away. It's like one of the top celebrity deaths where I legitimately remember every single moment of what transpire. All right, let me take you back. Right. So, it was 2009, right? It was on um the 25th. The 25th cuz I remember it was either the last day of school or the day before the last day of school. Maybe like a half day. I'm at the park with some of my junior high school friends, some of my childhood friends. WE PLAYING BALL.

[00:00:22]WE'RE NOT EVEN IN between games. It's during the games. I could close my eye.

[00:00:24]I'm vividly there right now. THE BALL ROLLED OUT OF BOUNDS. ONE OF MY boys went to go get the ball. Mind you, I didn't even have a cell phone yet. But this in the days of like the sidekicks, the Blackberries, I think the iPhone that just came out, not everybody had a smartphone and [ __ ] right? So my man get a phone call, he pick up the phone and you could just see on HIS FACE LIKE, "WHAT?" LIKE, "OH, YO, BRO, you good?"

[00:00:39]Like, "Yo, my mom just told me Michael Jackson died." Said, "What?" So we all like, "Michael, Michael Jackson died."

[00:00:43]We completely astonished. Then you hear from across the COURT A LOUD Y SCREAM LIKE THE I thought somebody was watching slide on the block, bro. I thought they were about to shoot the door on a park.

[00:00:52]MIND YOU, SOMEBODY ON ANOTHER PARK LOSING THEIR MIND. Other part now, it's like periodically AROUND THE PARK.

[00:00:57]WHETHER YOU BY THE SWINGS, you on the court, you somewhere else BY THE PLAYGROUND. EVERYBODY losing their mind.

[00:01:02]Yo, we at the leader park. I go to the crib. Mind you, one of my best friends, one of my best friends at the time. His sister, it's her birthday. She the biggest [ __ ] Michael Jackson fan. We go to his crib cuz it's pretty much the end of the day. We don't know what the [ __ ] we fixing to do. It's like 3 4 p.m. at this point. We go to his crib, open the door, she on her knees on the ground, snot falling out of her kn.

[00:01:19]You would have thought it looked like she was in an R&B video in the [ __ ] 90s, bro. She losing her mind. I'm like, "Oh my lord, bro. I kid you not. That was one of the top four Yeah. four celebrity deaths I ever [ __ ] experienced. I'm not paranoid this [ __ ] But I tell you right now, Eddie Guerrero, Michael Jackson, Chester Ben. Oh, I'm so [ __ ] pissed off about Chess B. I kid you. Oh my god, I'm getting chills right now. And Kobe, those four I could tell you what I was wearing, what was transpiring that day, what the hell the conversations after when Eddie passed away. I didn't have cable until 2008. Eddie passed AWAY IN 2005. SMACKDOWN JUST WENT FROM THURSDAY TO FRIDAY, RIGHT? JUST WENT like the week before, son. I missed the opening of like the RIP Eddie, right? Because they did the 10 bell salute on Raw. SO ALL I SEE IS I HEAR EDDIE GUERRERO'S MUSIC. I'M ASSUMING he kicking off the show. [ __ ] Batista in the wrong writer and I'm like oh this kind of odd.

[00:02:01]Where's Eddie? You see the signs of WE MISS YOU EDDIE. RIP. I'M LIKE I'M DOING MR. KRA. I'M WHAT THE [ __ ] GOING ON?

[00:02:06]WHEN HE STARTED CUTTING THE PROMO AND THEN YOU CAN SEE HIS EMOTION LIKE I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE GONE. WHAT ARE YOU WHAT ARE Y'ALL TALKING ABOUT? MIND YOU THE week before cuz Eddie's ON SMACKDOWN THOUGH. I'M NOT even the week before.

[00:02:13]Early in the week on Monday cuz I didn't have cable. People came to school Tuesday talking about yo Eddie Guerrero passed away. I'm like y trolling me.

[00:02:19]Clearly somebody lying. Eddie's a smackdown guy. Why would they even be talking about him on roll? I found out in real time on Friday, bro. I was losing. I was tearing up the [ __ ] room, son. And when Chester Bennington died in 2017, I waited my whole life to go see Lincoln Park Live, bro. I kid you not. I'm on the phone with Sister Don, bro. I'm like, I'm texting her, right?

[00:02:33]I'm trying to go and find tickets to the show because it's going to be in JULY IN METIFE STADIUM IN NEW JERSEY, RIGHT? I'M IN NEW YORK. I'M AT THE FLOOR FROM THERE. I JUST LEFT MY JOB TO DO CONTENT CREATION full-time a month before, son.

[00:02:43]I'm sitting inside my parents room on StubHub looking at [ __ ] tickets. I had been doing that for like [ __ ] 3 weeks. I should have already purchased tickets and [ __ ] I get the TMZ [ __ ] notification talking about Chester M Bennington DIED DEAD AT 40. WHAT THE [ __ ] GOING ON, SON? IT DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON CO. OH [ __ ] I'M I'M getting worked up. I got to relax, bro. I down to relax.
