I GOT ROBBED BY A MARVEL FAN!

What's up, guys? Welcome back to Views. This episode is going to be fun-filled, so we're going to have Jason sit this one out.

So I'm going to go, guys, for your enjoyment. So you have— you can enjoy it more. I'll be gone.

A lot of the comments are saying we want to see the full white couch. What do you mean they want to see it? They want to see it completely. Oh, they're like, we're loving, loving the vibe. We'd love to see all the furniture without anybody actually sitting there. So now I'm getting— all right, let's roll the episode.

What's up, Will? How are you?

I'm well, how are you, sir? Good.

This is David.

Hey, nice to see you. Okay, so wait, you guys met—

I went, I went drift car racing.

Yes, right.

Uh, the guys from Discovery invited Jonah and I to go watch Formula Drift.

Oh, you went like with Kemp and Tripp?

Yeah.

Oh yeah, that's sick. Okay.

Yeah, and so we went down to Long Beach and it was incredible, and I was like, oh my God, this is like a cool sport. You know, I'm not like a car guy, whatever, right? And then Will walked up to and he's like, yo, you know, he recognized me from YouTube. And then he went, he was so nice, he grabbed my camera and he went out onto the track and got me like incredible shots. And then we just became friends. And then while we were, we went and shot again on Friday. What?

No, no, keep going.

Sorry, David's surprised anyone want to be friends with me. Um, and then on Friday we were waiting to do more Formula Drift stuff And he— we had to wait a long time, and he told us this incredible story how he survived an airplane crash.

Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. So that's kind of all I've heard so far is airplane crash. I heard something out in the kitchen and I tried to not listen because I wanted to hear it here for the first time. But okay.

It's just like a crazy story, like a proper airplane crash.

Yeah. It was called a Beach Bonanza.

Okay.

So we left—

a horrible name for something. I know.

Well, here's the funny story of the whole thing. So like when we do like really big production jobs, like where we have like, you know, 40 suitcases of, of gear, right? They don't want us to like go and check it. Like if we're shooting for Red Bull or some big company, like all your camera gear, right? If we show up with our camera gear to Miami and they didn't like bring all the bags and lose things and we can't shoot because of it, then that's a problem. So they'll charter a plane for us to go somewhere.

Just the camera guys?

Uh, yes, correct.

Oh, okay, okay. So you sit in a smaller plane and then everybody else goes on a regular size plane, right?

Exactly. And just for the, for the audience, It's not like they're renting us a G5 or something. No, right. It's like, so these are, these are probably the scariest things to be on. Well, so the funny— obviously, yeah. So the funny part about it was we get to Cherry Street off the 405 freeway south in LA where there's this private FBO, and we walk out with all of our gear and we're lugging it out. And the first thing we say is we look at this plane and go, thank God we're not going on this one. And that was the one we ended up going on.

Yeah.

So it was like set up from the beginning.

So Where did it crash?

So we were leaving from Long Beach and we were going to Florida, and we— what had happened was—

wait, what? On a prop plane?

Yep.

I thought that's not like— not even possible.

Even when we go to like multiple gas stops.

Oh shit.

Yeah, yeah, like 3 or 4, because we took one of those to Vegas once.

Yeah, we went to Vegas and we were just like, this is fucked. It was like, what, a 7-minute flight? It was still terrifying.

Yeah. Wow.

You might as well drive. I mean, really, why don't you take a semi? Okay, so you got on the plane.

Yeah, so we got on the plane and we, and we loaded up all this gear. I mean, thousands of pounds of camera gear.

And how many people fit on the plane?

Sorry, it was, uh, the pilot and then 3 other people total.

Okay, or total, and then like a lot of camera gear.

Correct.

Other camera people?

Yes, correct. And so we took off, and keep in mind, this is probably around, you know, 8, 9 at night, something like that. So by the time we get to Texas, the pilot radios for us to land at this private FBO to get gas. So we go down and land, and the private airport is closed, so there's no fuel. So now we already need gas, and we're landing to get gas, and we can't. So we— so he's like, oh well, the next FBO is only like 5 miles away, we'll just go ahead and like take off and get to the next one, no problem. So I was like, okay, whatever, he knows what he's doing, I have to trust this guy, right? It's a charter. So we take off and we get about 4,000 feet in the air, and he tries to— so in a prop plane, the fuel is in the wings, from what I've been told. So there's, there's fuel in the left and fuel on the right, and there's switches in there. So you can switch a switch and it starts taking fuel from the other part of the plane, wherever it is, the other tank. And so he tries to switch it, and the engine backfires and completely cuts out. And then now the plane just starts going down. And he opens the little thing and says, hey, I just want to let you know we're going down. And we're like, yeah, okay, what? Yeah, like 3 in the morning by— at this point, so you can't see anything.

Explain a little more. How did he— how did he tell you that? So he was exactly like—

he opened the door and he goes, hey, I just want to let you guys know we're going down. And we— it was like so nonchalant that I thought it was a joke, you know? You don't think it's real. And we're like like going down, like we're about to land, right? Because we don't know what's going on.

That's fucking insane.

Yeah, terrifying.

And so like we're going down, down, and the pilot is freaking out at this point.

So what's your immediate thoughts? Immediate thoughts is a joke. And then when does it start to settle in? We're like, oh, this shit's going down.

Well, so it really started to sink in when the pilot, he was— he had his headset on and we were going down and there's no engine noise. So all we hear is the wind like going down and that's it. There's no— the plane went from this very loud, shaky experience to like this euphoric, like, angel glide. But like, all you hear is the wind. So it's really weird, right? And then as we're going down, the pilot has his headset on and he's talking, and it became like really scary when he took the headset off and threw it into the cockpit of the plane because the people in control apparently were telling him where to land. And we were in the middle of Texas, in the middle of a swamp. So there was nowhere. It was all trees. There was no town. We crashed in a city called Jasper, Texas, and it's literally in the middle of nowhere.

What do you mean they were telling him where to land?

So they were trying to direct him and they were like supposedly telling him, like, take it into the trees, which we would have just been dead if you take a prop plane into the trees. Like, you're not going to survive. Like, you're going to explode, right? Like, the only real survival way is like water or like maybe a highway if you get really lucky. Right. And even still, an impact the plane could disintegrate and things could go—

What are your buddies thinking on this on the way down?

Well, it's weird. So like the first thing everyone asked me is always about the fear aspect of it. But when you know you're going to die and there's no way that you can do anything to change it, it's very like almost euphoric and peaceful. Like, like we all in the back seat kind of held hands. No one was screaming, no one was panicking. Like we had tears going down our eyes, but no one was crying. And it was like this thing, like, what, what can you do? Like, there's nothing you can do at this point. You're just stuck. Like, you're— what? You can't jump out. I mean, you're done. So it was like this huge, just like feeling of like it's over.

What do you think you'd be like, Dave, in that moment?

Um, probably I'd probably call Natalie one more time, pitch her out, get that in. No, I don't know. It's so difficult because like, I feel like I I feel like I know what I would be like in that situation, but I also have no idea.

I think you'd be pretty calm.

I think calm is like a— like, I remember, I remember when we were skydiving and my shoe was tangled and I, I had like had no desire to open the second one because I was like, it's just so complicated. So I was like, it's going to tangle. Yeah, yeah. Even when we landed, my instructor goes, this is not nowhere near as cool as falling out of the sky in a plane.

But I mean, you jumped out of one.

Yeah, but, but my instructor was like, out of every person I've jumped with for that to happen to you. I'm so sorry.

Did you do it by yourself? You jumped solo?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

So. Oh my God.

So it only takes 2 jumps to, like, jump by yourself. So what they do is, is they, they jump like they're holding your hand and then you jump out and then when you pull it, they obviously they can't be by you when you pull it because they fly away.

Right.

But it was tangled. And I remember thinking I was just like, Yeah, you're kind of just like frustrated. It's like, I can't believe this is— this is how— this is how it's going. So it was like really like peaceful and, and just like you're not like screaming, you know, just like nothing flashed before my eyes or anything. But I also didn't get that close.

how did you know to do that?

It just happened.

Wow.

I just, I just—

and, and I'll be honest, it's in the name Pelican. It's all about flight. He was trying— he was building his own aircraft within the aircraft.

And like, at the end of the story, like, I ended up not having a scratch because of it.

Like, because of the Pelican cases, not a scratch?

Well, all the kind of camera—

wait, hold on, I want to go back because I, I derailed us with my 4 seconds of fear. You were going down for how long? How long was the trip down?

I mean, it felt like a year, but did it— it felt so long. But that— but like, what happened was, so we're descending, descending, pilot throws the headphones in pure panic. Now he's freaking out because it's 3:00, 2:00, 3:00 in the morning. He can't see anything. We're over woods, so there's no lights anywhere. And he— we're going into these trees, like, we're getting lower and lower. The cockpit noises are going failure, fail, you know, everything's going off. And you're— that's when it starts to— when you start getting really low in altitude, the plane starts freaking out.

And can you notice? Can you notice when you're lower? Was it so dark you had no idea?

No, I honestly had no idea. So that, that's why the—

any moment it could have been—

correct. And that's why people say today, just to like jump a little forward, is why they say, do you have a fear of flying? And I say, well, no, because it's not like I was watching the ground come up at me really quick. That might change the perspective, right? But like I couldn't. So the pilot is like going down, and literally right before— like probably, I mean, I say right before, but it's probably hundreds of feet— he sees the reflection of the moon shining on the lake to the right of us, this huge lake. So he can't see the lake, but he sees the reflection of the moon in the middle of the lake, and he turns the plane to the right, and we go straight into the lake. Within 5 seconds, the, uh, the plane's filling up with water. It's all happening so fast.

What's that impact like? Oh man, like, is it nosedive or did he land it?

He went like this and turned, and then right before we hit the water, he like pulled up. So we were almost at an angle and the tail hit first and then slammed down.

What the fuck?

Yeah. And we're— and my— the— a buddy of mine that was on the plane, he was an ex-Marine, God bless his soul, because he saved— you know, not saved, but, you know, helped a lot in the situation. Right before we hit the water, his instinct he kicked the door open on the, on the plane before you hit the water, right before, like seconds. So if he didn't do that, we could have potentially been trapped inside the plane. Yeah, because of the pressure. But he did that and the whole plane filled with water and we swam out and he swam back in and pulled the pilot out. The pilot was done, he was unconscious, bleeding, and he, he got in there and pulled him out of the front seat because he hit the front so hard, the cockpit.

The pilot died eventually.

Wow.

But so here's the crazy part. So it gets way worse. So if the first thing— because I've been in the film industry for 17 years, so if you think it's way worse, it does. So you look up my name and it's like, oh, for film it'll say IMDb credits, all that stuff. But the first thing is the plane crash. So if you read the ad and the plane crash, this is where it gets crazy. So we crash, the plane sinks in 20 seconds, 30 seconds, a minute, whatever, it's gone. And now we're sitting in the middle of this lake and the closest way to shore is about a mile in each direction, like that far. It's not like a little tiny pond, like we're in the middle of this huge lake. And we see the police sirens going around and helicopter search looking for us. They can't find us. 2 and a half hours we're treading water in the middle of this lake, and we, and we finally, we finally enclose, you know, we're enclosed. We give up. We're like, forget this. So we put the pilot on this piece of luggage, and my buddy in the Marine starts kicking and I'm pulling, and we go all the way to shore. We finally get to the Cops don't come get us in no boat, that no one saved us. Like, we got to shore and then my buddy in the, in the Marines ran into the woods until he hit a house and he ended up knocking on the house door and it was the sheriff's wife. She answered the door with a shotgun, like, who's at my door? No way. Yes. And we're like, we're the people who just crashed the plane. She goes, my husband's the sheriff looking for you.

Wow.

So 5 minutes after that, he comes back, or however long, and he comes back and the police surround us. Like, I mean, like 20 cop cars, ambulances, like you name it. And we're like shivering because now we're not in this state of shock anymore of adrenaline. We're like, literally it's all over now. Like, that's when you really start feeling the soreness or whatever has happened. And, um, we go, why is there walls around this lake? And like, what's going on with this lake? It seems like there's not a lot of boat docks and stuff. And they go, oh no, this lake is off limits to the public. It's water moccasin and alligator infested. So poisonous snake infested lake. And we put the walls up so the snakes go in people's yards and kill their kids.

Oh my God. And you were there for over 2 hours?

2 and a half hours.

Oh my fucking shit.

Yeah. So if you Google the, the plane crash article, that's what it says. The Lord was definitely on their side as the 4 made it through the alligator and water moccasin-infested lake. And water moccasins— I'm from Louisiana, so I grew up in, in the South— and if you get bit by a snake, out by a water moccasin, like, you have 30, 45 minutes, like, or not that much time, you're dead. You know.

Whoa.

Yeah, so that was the— to me, that was the more scary part.

So would you say that was the worst day of your life?

Um, yeah, no, it was even more funny.

Oh my God.

Yeah, it was crazy because then we— they brought us to this hotel and we were so shook up. We all—

then you get robbed.

Yeah, we don't know. We had no clue. We had no— our clothes are soaked. So we went to Target and we bought 3 basketball shorts and 3 t-shirts and 3 sandals, all matching. The exact same stuff. We get in a rental car, we're like, we're done with this. We're driving back to LA. We're like, we got to get back. We have things like, this is insane. We're scared. Reporters are trying to come and we just wanted to leave and we get pulled over and we are all wearing matching clothes.

What did you— what did you tell the cop?

The cop's like, uh, no luggage, no suitcases, just all wearing the same black shorts.

We were in a plane crash. Yeah, right.

And he let us right go.

Really?

Exactly what happened. We're like, you know that plane crash? He goes, yeah, it's all over the news. I was like, yeah, that was us. And he's like, have a good day, and literally went back to L.A. Oh, wow.

Wow. That is fucking insane. Yeah, it was like, I don't even know how to respond to something like that.

Yeah, you said it. It really gave you perspective. It changed you, right?

Well, yeah, for me, you know, like, here's the thing. Like, I grew up in a very different way. And don't let the tattoos fool you. Like, I listen to country music. Like, I grew up in a whole different kind of environment, family environment. And coming to LA was really hard, you know, like, because everything is so judgmental and superficial. It's all about this. So that gave me, um, you know, kind of an acceptance of just being okay with who I am and how grateful I am for the life I have and being able to do what I love every day and create a story through a lens. And it's just like, you go— other people don't have anything in some places. They don't have shoes, they don't have clothes. Like, you give a kid $5 in Thailand, he's crying. His rent for the month. And like, that perspective kind of changed just the way that I was and who I was going to surround myself with, and the, the serenity of that, of how important it is for the betterness of your lifestyle. So I think it was a blessing in disguise.

Yeah, well, congrats on surviving.

Glad you're alive. Yeah, I can't believe it. I, I can't believe you survived.

There is— it's— there is something more scary about the snakes in the water than the actual plane crash.

Exactly.

If I was to take one, I feel like I'd roll the dice with a plane crash than being alligator and snake-infested water.

Alligator, forget it. Who cares? I don't know if I could bother you. The snakes is the, is the one.

I don't know if I could tread water for 2 and a half.

Wait, I don't get it. You treaded water for 2 and a half and then you swam?

Yeah, so we were, well, treading water and hanging on suitcases, right? Right.

Just like floating, right?

Correct. And, and you're in that, in that mindset when you are in the water, you don't think about it, right? Because you're not getting tired. Like, there was no— like, we were treading water but we weren't getting exhausted because your adrenaline is at such a level, I don't know, the endorphins or whatever, but like, you don't think about it until you get to the dock, right? And you step on ground. We collapsed. Yeah, we couldn't walk.

And the helicopters that were— how close did they get to actually seeing you? Or how close? Nowhere near. Were you guys yelling at them?

Because the plane forgot. Yeah, we were screaming. I was whistling, but the plane did not— the pilot did not turn on his little like detector that says The light, wherever we are, no matter what, they can find us. There's like some tracking device.

Oh yeah, the black box.

Exactly, right? Essentially, yeah.

Wow. Okay, that was wicked. I'm sorry that you had— or congrats, I actually don't know what to say. Thank you for sharing that. Did you get a tattoo? Or—

oh, I should though, huh?

You didn't get— what?

I know, right?

That'd be the first thing. I'd probably get one on my forehead.

Yeah.

Jasper, Texas.

I actually should. That's a good idea. Yeah, I don't know why I didn't think of that. Maybe because none of my tattoos have meanings. You know, when you're young in LA, you're like, yeah, whatever, that pattern looks cool.

Wow. Okay, well, thank you. Yeah. Okay, guys, Natalie has a bag over her head. She's surprising us with something. She's got a nose job. Yeah. Or her— she changed the color of her hair.

I—

yes, I did something. I changed my physical appearance.

You know, what if she shaved her head? That'd be a sign of distress. That'd be a sign that, like, that's not good when a woman shaves their head like that. In the past, I've seen a lot of celebrities do that when they lose it. So maybe she's finally lost it.

What did you just say?

Maybe.

Do you not— he doesn't— guys, he doesn't listen to anything I say. Ferris, keep this in.

Keep her sister's name out of my mouth.

Last week I told a story about a funeral I went to, and he looks at me and he goes, I'm sorry, I was thinking about Zach Bia.

Sounds exactly like David. Um, okay, I'd like to get on—

wrong with Tapia. Seems like a cool guy.

Uh, excuse me, what do you—

let's, let's guess. Can we, can we milk this for a little bit though?

I guess I do have a bag over my head that I would like to take off, but David, let's milk this for a little bit.

She dyed her hair.

Okay, come on, let's be real, Jay. What are we, stupid here? Obviously she dyed her hair blonde. Kelsey did it. Father Kel's big Instagram star, and Natalie follows in the footsteps of whatever Stass and Kelsey do.

I mean, I do too.

Yeah, so it's—

I got a bad shout out. Can we get on with the surprise?

No, I honestly like it with the bag over your head.

I think it's pretty fun.

I— yeah, it's a lot easier to talk to you actually.

Well, that wasn't my intention.

Well, I know, but I think— here's the thing, after you do the reveal of whatever was under the bag, can we put the bag back on and then can, can we kind of—

I can just exit. You know, I don't have to be here with the bag.

Yeah, you want to talk from outside of the room? That would actually be nice because then we wouldn't smell you.

You're saying blonde. I don't think she would go blonde. Really? It's too crazy.

Are you fucking nuts?

That's her whole thing is like she's a brunette.

All right, a blonde. Call her Brunette Natty.

What kind of information—

she's just—

what kind of information do you have? Do you know that she was going to do this?

No, I've heard rumors.

Okay, you guys, we're gonna spoil it before I even do anything. Can we just—

she's getting so pissed. Where are they?

Can you guys both close your eyes, please?

What are you talking about?

Well, no, I'm gonna take— I'm gonna take the bag off my head and like prepare myself.

Meet our demands in the next 24 hours.

Natalie gets it through the bag.

Okay, should I just—

all right, we're gonna close our eyes.

My eyes are closed.

Natalie wants to film this for a TikTok too. My eyes are closed.

Yes. Okay, so everyone's eyes are closed.

Showing my friends my new—

my new perm. Okay. All right, now we're ready when you are.

Okay, open your eyes.

Oh, I was wrong!

It is blonde. It's pretty sunshine. It actually looks really good. Wow, it's really long. How did you get a haircut? It fucking grew, um, double its size.

Yeah, it's taken me literally all week. This has been like an all-week-long process.

As her employer, let me tell you, it has definitely been all week.

Really?

Yeah.

I mean, it's like— and when girls go get their hair done, it's not like— first of all, looks great. Definitely looks great.

Thank you.

Really serious. 4 days.

Except for the bag on your head, it needs to be—

is it like a little static?

Yeah, the bag made a little static.

Jay, she missed like, you know that big meeting we went to with, with those people? Yeah, she missed that dinner for this, for this, for this hair. I had to redo it, so I went to the salon, but then I told the people at the meeting why she was gone, and they were like I was like, yeah, that makes sense. So, you know, there are other women there, so they understood the pain. But I personally do not understand going to a salon for a combined— now you'd say probably 20 hours combined.

Probably, yeah, combined.

We went to that dinner 4 days ago.

I know. No, it's taken me like— I had to— I went to the salon once. Yeah, didn't get as blonde as I wanted to be, so I had to go back, and I missed that dinner. I went back, I was at the salon till like 11:30 at night.

Oh my God.

And then today I got the extensions in, which took me like 6 and a half hours.

She kind of looks like a pony.

Do you want to pet me? Anyways, yeah, I'm blonde now.

What's up? There's been a development in my Iron Man story. Oh, okay. So, so, so for those of you who haven't seen the recent podcast, basically about— or any other podcast I mentioned a lot— about a year and a half ago, I ordered an Iron Man statue from China and it got like held up, and like it's finally here in the States. I paid $10,000 for it. But it's shipped to the wrong address, right? And the people that got it are— they, they also ordered an Iron Man statue, I think, a little after us, but they never paid for it. And they never paid for it yet, but we've paid for it in full. We paid the full 10 grand, right? And the, the people that sent it to us, they're like, we made a mistake and we sent it to the wrong house, right? So these people currently have our Iron Man statue.

Yes.

And they are refusing to give it to us. They are basically holding it hostage. And now— now the address, huh?

You got the address?

I have the address and I think he's gonna go there.

All right, well, Jason and I are gonna go there right now, right, Jay?

Because this is— this is what—

this is Jason Nash Comedy.

They emailed. So the people that have it, the people that have it right now, that— that have our Iron Man statue— go, bro! The people— the people that have our Iron Man statue emailed the makers of the Iron Man in China, and this is what they said. Oh my God.

Okay.

Your request to return— because the makers emailed them and was like, hey, you have the wrong package. Give that to David.

Literally.

No, no, but listen, listen, this is important part of the fucking story.

Oh my God.

Psychotic.

People is—

I don't even want to hear anymore.

The people that made the Iron Man have emailed these people that have stolen from us and we're like, hey, that's not yours, that's David's. Give it to David. And these people are like, we don't know who David is. We are not giving it up. And he just emailed. So the person that has my— stop it now— the person that has my Iron Man illegally emailed the makers of it and said, your request to return Iron Man Mark 50 has come to my attention. While I am cognizant of the shipping error, Once it arrived, we made immediate plans to use it as a centerpiece in a forthcoming press conference announcing our new Las Vegas exhibition and museum. Our plans included highlighting it in the exhibition as a centerpiece and tribute to your skill and workmanship, where it would be viewed by thousands of ardent fans. I am respectfully requesting you to seriously reconsider your intention to reclaim the work and permit us to proceed to exhibit it as we had hoped. Thank you for your consideration.

That pisses me the fuck off.

It made me—

that's absolutely— that's not yours.

Why can't we just go knock on on their door and be with a fucking van and some movers and carry that bitch out and bring it over here.

Someone needs to fucking grab this thing. That I—

we've all volunteered.

I know. I'm going.

No, I'm going.

Let's go. All right, you guys go.

Okay. Okay. Someone has to get it.

I'm going to go right now.

Let's record the rest of this podcast.

Okay.

On the road to the house. Okay.

We shoot really—

but James goes back with gunshot wound.

He's bleeding out. Okay, so the next part of this podcast still here is Jason is going to— we have the address. Jason will go and try to ransack this place. No, Jason's gonna go to the house.

I'm gonna be very— yes, listen, I'm glad you're not going because you're emotional. I obviously—

very emotionally, I'm gonna be in the car.

Yeah, I'm in the car crying like a housewife, like, fucking tell him, tell him it's ours.

Yeah, I really don't care if we get it back.

You're gonna be like, honey, please shut the fuck up, I'm dealing with it. Yeah, okay, so So you go, yeah, I'll be level-headed about it. Okay. And, and the next thing people will hear on this podcast is whether or not you got this back.

Yep.

Okay, break.

Wait, wait, you know, before we get there, just really quickly, where is this sense of enthusiasm for everything else that we're doing in life? I've never seen you so elated.

And because, yeah, because it's my— that's everything that keeps me going is like tied into those films. And like, I've been waiting for this. Listen, this, this isn't— this, this like statue that I've ordered isn't just a statue. Like, when I bought this home, it's the only thing that I knew was missing from this home is this statue. And now finally, after a year and a half, for it to finally be here and fulfill like my home and like fulfill like this desire I've had for this completion of the project of my house, like it all lies in Chatsworth right now in some fucking random bitch's apartment. Like, and it's right there and we're so close to reclaiming it. And I'm telling you, it's gonna change the— it's gonna change the vibes around here.

That's my concern, is that like, I really hope it does do what you needed to do.

Question, Jay. Yeah, you get there. Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah, they're not home.

Yeah.

Now what? I thought of that, and that's— there's a really good possibility that— and I'd be home and won't answer the door. And there's a really good possibility I'm gonna throw a brick through the window.

Whatever it takes.

Like, what do I do if they don't answer the door? Well, leave a Oh, um, bring a pen and paper.

Taylor, Taylor texted the guy from, from the company, from the toy company, with screenshots of Robert Downey Jr. tweeting at me and me wearing Iron Man suits, just showing what a big fan I am and how much attention I could bring to their brand. Um, so, so hopefully that worked.

And, um, do I need a truck? Is it that big?

It's huge.

Oh yeah, it's like a massive—

bigger than the one out there.

It's bigger by a couple inches, but it sits in a crate. That is so much bigger than— it's huge.

Okay.

It's probably like the length of like—

you have an Iron Man statue, right?

Yes, he does.

Yeah, but that has one already, right?

He's had one. It's been fulfilling this whole hole in the house for 2 years now.

No, but this is the one.

This is nicer.

This is the one I ordered initially, and I waited for it for a couple months, and I was like, fuck it, let me go find one in Anaheim. Yeah, so I went to Anaheim, but this is the one from China, like really fucking legit.

Got it, got it. Okay, I can get on board with that. Okay, there's a little difference. No, this is much better than what you have. Yes. I can get on board with this.

This is gonna be sick.

I'm excited, but I don't know what I'm gonna do with the old one.

Great. I'm gonna keep both of them. You should, because they both have stories. Yeah, but yeah, maybe I'll put it here. But okay, good luck.

Thanks, man.

And next part of podcast is when you come back.

Take it, my gun. Jason just goes— Jason just goes missing. There is no second part.

Second part is haven't seen Jason in 4 days. You probably heard us talk about it. 7 seconds ago, but it's been about a day. Yeah, Jason and Taylor, it was just you two. You guys went on a hunt to find the Iron Man suit, to get it from the person that has quote-unquote stolen it from me.

We got in the squad car, some serious squad, stopped by, got some donuts and coffee because we knew this was going to be a big case. Yeah, and we, uh, we took a ride about half an hour away and we had the address. And, um, so you went to the—

you went to the actual house of where the Iron Man suit is, or was where it was delivered?

Okay, because I received the tracking information to your statue, confirmed, paid for. That is our statue. We got the tracking information and the address that it was delivered to was incorrect. So we did have their address.

Yes.

Okay, so you went there, bro?

It was so surreal. It was like, have you ever watched Law Order or like a detective show? Yeah, it was so fucking surreal.

Like, by the way, they haven't told me any of this and like I'm actually like I want to know where the fuck my Iron Man— Okay, like, save the podcast. We're here for the podcast. This is my first time hearing this too.

We walk up there. It's like not a great house, not a great neighborhood.

We're across from a school.

We walk up, we knock on the door.

A bad thing.

We knock on the door.

Yeah.

And an old lady answers. And didn't you say an old lady had your statue?

I don't know if it's a girl or a boy.

Okay. An old lady answers. You're like, hi, we're here to get our Iron Man statue. We think it was delivered here, the wrong place. And she goes, I think you've got the wrong house. Hang on, I'll be right back. Shuts the door. So already she probably closed the door and she goes, they're here for the Iron Man statue.

No, 100%. She did 100%, like 1,000%.

Like, you just got that feeling that they're like, yo, these people are lying.

And so Jay and I like look at each other and he goes, is this the right address? And I'm like looking it up and then we're looking at the numbers on the house. We're like, yeah.

How long was the drive to get to this place? Half hour.

Okay, okay, not bad. Said. So we wait. Then the guy comes to the door, is like out of a movie. He's— first of all, he's in a Captain America t-shirt.

No fucking way.

Yeah, I mean, he's, um, I don't know, maybe like 5'6" and like, you know, let's just say belonged at Comic-Con. Like, literally, like the Comic-Con nerd, like, out of—

sure, forever.

Oh my God.

And his eyes are beady and he's shifty as hell.

I mean, it was— he was a little scary.

So I'm like, um, hi, we're here to get the Iron Man statue. And he's like, oh, oh, oh, lying right away. Like, you can just read the person, like, um, um, um, um. He's like, well, shut the fuck up.

Yeah, shut the fuck up.

I swear to God. And he's like, um, um, uh, well, it was— I, I don't know anything about that. He's like, I mean, it was delivered here, but I think, um, I think, um, I think it was delivered to one of the warehouses, maybe Van Nuys or, um, uh, San Diego. And, and we're like, yo, all of us, me, Taylor, and Jess are all like, yo, this guy's lying.

Like, this is crazy.

And I'm immediately— I'm Google searching it, looking everywhere. I can't find anything. And he can't tell us where— what even city this warehouse is.

I don't know where the warehouse is.

It's a warehouse for his museum that he owns. Yeah.

Okay.

And he's not giving the whereabouts of it.

Not giving the whereabouts.

Please tell me this story doesn't stop there, Jason. Please tell me you— hang on, you, you got retribution and justice.

So I was like, you know, you, you didn't pay for the statue, we did. We really need it. And he's like, yeah, yeah, I don't know. I don't know anything about it. He's like, ah, I'm just the guy here, whatever. And, and I was— we were pretty firm. We were like, you know, we, we saw an email that said you guys want to keep the statue and not pay for it, and that's not really right like that. And he was like, oh, oh yeah, I, um, um, um. So we talked to him for a little while. I get his phone number.

And this is also a $10,000 statue, right? This isn't like a, like a little action figure, right? This is like stealing your car.

Yeah, right. So we get back in the car and we start to leave, and Taylor cracks the case wide open with some crazy, crazy work on Safari. What happened?

We went deep detective. I started Google searching Safari, all of it.

I literally— I've never heard anybody.

Me either.

But I mean, Jess had snapped a picture. Jess had snapped a picture of him that we didn't know. So we got in the car And we were like, oh, that's great that you did that. And then Taylor goes online and matches the guy's face. Turns out the guy is a convicted pedophile and— shut the fuck up— yes, and could no longer be the CEO of the museum, so he had handed it over to somebody else. But he was totally lying to us. It's his company. He knows where the statue is. 100%, he is behind it and is not giving you your statue back.

He's probably jerking off to the statue, just by the way.

And not only that, Taylor digs deeper and finds out that this guy is known for taking, uh, memorabilia and not paying for it. Like, that's his thing. So you're being scammed, my dog.

Tell me you didn't stop there.

We were already in the car on the way home, and we were like, well, bro, what do we do? You mean you want us to go rough him up? Yes.

Oh my God, David, but we have to call the police. We have to get the law on this.

Well, yeah, I mean, we could.

What do you mean we could? It's 10 grand.

He was arrested in 2013, 2018.

Okay, you go there and you go, we're gonna have to call the police, you've stolen this from us. Okay, okay, I'm sure he has priors. Okay, doesn't want to do that.

The guy that has all of the emails is responding is a real guy that is the CEO of the museum, but like this, this guy that we met, he had to because he's literally a pedophile.

Yeah, it was like, I didn't know if he wanted to get the law involved.

Weird title. Pedophile Steals My Iron Man Statue.

Yeah, and remember when you were like, go get it, Taylor?

Yeah, right.

Oh my God, if Taylor went by herself, like, yeah, like, he looked like somebody that like would abduct people.

Now you showed me the picture and 100%. I mean, I wanted to say it immediately, but I felt bad. But like, now if there's proof and I'm not like assuming, right? Um, yeah, that's fucking scary.

Yeah, it's scary as hell. So what do you want to do, Taylor?

Go get it. No, we— I'll go back with you guys right now. No, I'm not. I'll go back with Jason.

Okay, I mean, and then I can text him.

No.

Okay, well, wait, no, it's— we need it today.

They got mad, so I, I received an email after we had left.

And they didn't pay for it.

What do you mean they got mad?

The buyers just came to the residence the figure was shipped to. The figure is no longer there and disturbing the owners. I understand your frustration, but giving out our shipping address and phone number is unacceptable.

We were super nice.

Hold on, let me read that.

Well, this is—

here, let me actually go to the—

but like They took our fucking statue.

What do you mean? Like, why would you take the statue and not pay for it and send it off to your museum? And he has a history of that, that he just—

he just, like, orders things and doesn't pay.

He has other criminal charges of not paying for things.

How the fuck did he— how did he get a hold of something that expensive without paying for it? How is that possible? How do you even do that?

Maybe it's some kind of scam where he—

I feel like it is a scam. This is all weird.

Maybe it's some kind of scam. Maybe it's— maybe you're being scammed. Maybe I'm being scammed by the company, and maybe he's in cahoots with the company.

Okay, well, we're gonna go— we're gonna go back to his house. We're gonna call the police. We're gonna file a report. This man stole— it's gonna be a really hard thing to explain.

You really want that statue?

I— Jay, this is unreal.

Yeah, it's crazy.

I mean, I'm going to fucking display that with so much pride once we get it back. You are? Yeah. If we go back right now to this guy's house and like, go through a police report to get this fucking statue, once it comes to my house, I'm putting it under like right over a red carpet. Like, I'm going to— I'm going to be so fucking stoked to have this thing.

It's gone though.

It's—

Yeah, I don't think it's here.

What do you mean? He sent it to Vegas. Vegas?

Yeah. The exhibition.

Vegas. We fucking go to Vegas. I don't care. Vegas. It's fucking— it's a plane ride over. It couldn't be closer. Honestly, I've waited for this thing for fucking China. Like, this is the closest it could possibly be. Vegas.

Oh, man.

No.

Well, we did that.

We did our part.

Yeah. Well, you kind of stick it out. We're going to Vienna.

I'm going to Vegas. Listen, man, I drove in traffic.

I'm going to break into Granada Hills. I'm going to break into this museum. I'm going to— I'm going to shatter the fucking windows. To get this.

You're going to be a real Iron Man, Jay.

I will drag it out of there. It will be me and Ilya.

Okay.

And I don't care what happens.

Okay. Okay. We're bringing it back here. I'm down. Why can't they just send you another one?

Or they just refund us. And they're sold out.

Is that because of COVID or they're sold out of the Mark 50? Oh, they're sold out.

Oh my God.

You're good.

She's fucking—

It's really fucked up that he just would take it.

It's very clear to me what we're going to do. This is— I'm not just talking the talk right now for the pod. We're gonna get this fucking thing back.

I don't think you're gonna bring your short friend Ilya over there.

Yeah, I'm not— Mighty Mouse. I'm not kidding, Jay. I will shatter all the windows of this museum. I will shatter all the windows.

Okay, okay.

And that's not even to get the Iron Man out. That's just— that's just—

just for starters, just for the inconvenience.

Yeah, yeah, do it. And whatever else is in there, I'm gonna take something else. Yeah.

Yeah.

Just grab Thor's hammer while you're there.

Yeah. Well, you have to be the chosen one.

You go to grab it, you're like, Goddamn it.

What the fuck is this?

You bring Harry Jowsey with you. He can lift it because he's Australian.

No, no, no. I'm not going to go there, break anything. The question is, The question that does remain is, does it exist? Is— does this Iron Man exist? Has anybody— has anybody actually seen it? Was it a package? The package is huge. It's from—

it's a crate.

Yeah, it's this entire room length. It's like a fucking big car. Um, so like, does it exist, or has it like— or is it a tiny box that was shipped just to say it was shipped and it's been a scam this entire time? That's my question.

Oh, okay. I'm—

and guess what? I can fly to places now. I don't know, can you go to China? You can go to China.

Yeah, you can.

Uh, Dave's going to China. Okay, I'm gonna go to China. I'm gonna figure this out.

Okay, good.

I feel like it's awesome, and I'm not gonna film any of this because I, I can't have that burden me. I'm not gonna worry about setting up the shots or like putting the camera on. This is between me and this fucking statue. This is— there's nothing It's between me and the pedophile.

Yeah. What are you going to do? Like, really? You're going to call the police? Yeah. Oh, you are?

Yeah, of course.

What do you think police are going to say?

I'm hoping I get a good cop. I mean, I'm hoping I get a cool cop. My Iron Man statue is missing. So what did you just say?

Okay, so we're dealing with 16 murders from last night. Wait, as soon as we finish with that, we'll get on your $10,000 Iron Man.

I could just imagine like just being with the cop at the front door and it's just like, like he really doesn't want to do it but he's still doing his public service. He's like, sir, you have this gentleman's Iron Man figurine from China, um, he needs it back or we're gonna have to— he's gonna— he wants to press charges. I don't even know if he can, but he wants to. That's funny. I've actually never been this angry about anything. I've been broken into and I've found the guy sleeping in my living room and didn't press charges. But I will fucking— I will bleed them dry in court fees.

Oh, God. Okay, well, great. There you go. That's the update. Hey, wonderful working with you.

You know, thank you guys for doing that. I really appreciate it.

Other cases we can crack, let me know.

The fucking worst news ever.
