WEBVTT - Introducing: Stealing Superman

0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:05.800
<v Speaker 1>It was the most unlikely artist of all time. You

0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:07.720
<v Speaker 1>hear the gossip that it could have been the butler,

0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:11.039
<v Speaker 1>could have been the security guard. Not just because of

0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:16.120
<v Speaker 1>what was stolen, it's like this almost holy relic because

0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:20.919
<v Speaker 1>it's worth so much money, but from who. He was

0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:24.040
<v Speaker 1>just fascinated by the whole scene of walking into Nicolas

0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Cage's mansion and just seeing what he described as an

0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:30.760
<v Speaker 1>adult kids playground with all these you know, dinosaur fossils

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:33.880
<v Speaker 1>around an a vintage car in the middle of the

0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 1>living room. Welcome to Stealing Superman and I heart original podcast.

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm your host Danish Sports. Last year we brought you Haleywood,

0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 1>the story of Bruce Willis buying up a town in

0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Idaho and the friends and enemies he made along the way.

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:57.280
<v Speaker 1>This fall, we've got a shocking four color crime saga.

0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 1>It was Nick Cage's own personal national treasure. At a

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:10.600
<v Speaker 1>New Year's Eve party in a palatial bel Air estate,

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:17.199
<v Speaker 1>someone snatched cagees priceless comments but who. There were so

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 1>many people working for him. It's fascinating. He had a staff,

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 1>I would say, of just a personal staff, maybe of

0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>around I mean, it was crazy. It's hard to keep

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:33.600
<v Speaker 1>track of everybody. Police were baffled, collectors were shocked, and

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 1>so began a decade long search for the holy Grail

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:44.400
<v Speaker 1>of superheroes, one involving secret rooms, police stings, and a

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 1>mystery did Cage know the thief? The fact he went

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 1>to the day lack first rather than the place as

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 1>an investigator, That were indikaite to me that Nicholas Cage

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 1>knew more than what he let on and he didn't

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 1>want really a lot being my public. I think they

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 1>should make a movie of this and just talk about

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 1>all the weirdos that worked for him, and like who

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>could have done this? And maybe it turns out that

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 1>in the end he did it to himself. About that,

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 1>it feels like fiction because someone targeted this very specific,

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:21.079
<v Speaker 1>very talented actor and stole something that is very specific

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.920
<v Speaker 1>to his interests, but that we're all aware of as

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>if it was a monai and there's not very interesting story.

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:29.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we could go down the rabbit hole and

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 1>that he's colleague he used to work for. She was

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:36.080
<v Speaker 1>a police detective. She got convicted of murder and she's

0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 1>now in jail. Show in a life sentence listen to
