hello, everybody. i'm beth troutman. welcome to another edition of "right this minute." we've got videos first. stuck in a tree. usually it's a cat. but when firefighters roll up -- >> it's a dad this time. >> they ask me how far you were up. i said over ten feet. >> over 15 feet. over 20 foot. >> how the devoted dad got rescued as his nervous family watched. >> i was nervous. i just was more nervous. she's a convenience store robber wearing the ultimate distraction. a beautiful smile and a low-cut shirt. why police are warning this suspect is disarming and

dangerous. a new death-defying wing suit flight that's -- >> as extreme as i've ever seen. >> the video that asks just how close can you cut it. we've got a rescue -- >> of the furry kind. and the science behind a cool video of banana slugs. >> it looked like they were fighting over a piece of cheese. >> that was not a piece of cheese. that was his penis. when firefighters are sent to rescue someone or something from a tree, you'd think it's a cat. well, not this time. >> yeah. there's dad stuck in a tree. all the way up. >> whoa! >> it's a dad this time stuck in a tree. the dad is in lincoln, nebraska. he was trying to hang a swing from his daughter, arianna. climbed up there, managed to get himself stuck. now, his fiancee, alex, is filming this. >> they asked me how far you

were up. i said 10 feet. >> over 15 foot. over 20 foot. >> i'm not very good at guessing feet. >> oh, man, i have a spider on me too. >> i never thought i'd call the fire department to save my fiance from a tree. usually it's a cat. >> the fire department eventually does show up. >> i feel embarrassed. >> how do you get up there? i don't even see a ladder. >> we've got vinny, alex and their very cute daughter, arianna joining us right this minute from lincoln, nebraska. vinny, we're glad to see you're safe and sound, but first of all, how did you get yourself stuck? >> so i decided to toss the rope over the tree limb. i just climbed up it. once i got to the top, the rope was underneath me. >> alex, you seemed amused by this whole thing. >> oh, i was nervous. i just was more amused than nervous. you should have known i was going to get you on camera on

this. >> when the fire department eventually comes, they put the ladder up there but it looks like you were able to get the rope where you wanted it before you came down. >> they told me to finish the job so they didn't have to come back. >> after we see you, you know, walk down the ladder, what did the firefighters say? >> they told me i was the first human being that they actually rescued out of a tree before. >> i've got to ask though, vinny, did it hurt your pride at all? >> oh, absolutely. i'm not afraid to say it. >> you're handling it really well. i think all of us can say you got a gold star as a dad for your efforts for sure. >> heck yeah. >> because that was a high tree. >> i hate to bring this up, but your daughter is going to grow up one day. how will you get the swing down? >> i think i'll leave it for the next people that decide to move in with kids. >> here's dad stuck in a tree.

you don't expect a thief to be wearing a smile while they commit their crime. take a look at this woman. she walks into a petrol station in australia, smiling quite brightly. >> she's the thief? >> she is the thief, steven. you'll probably also notice something else about this woman besides her smile. maybe you, nick. >> wow! >> i don't think anybody can miss that, beth. >> her hat. she's got a hat on. >> did you notice she had big bazooms. >> thank you, gayle. she came in with a beautiful smile in a low-cut shirt and was quite an attractive woman. but the strange thing is, she came in, smiled at the clerk, then immediately came behind the counter demanding cash and charged at the clerk with a knife. he did end up opening the till and giving her money but actually tried to leave the store. the clerk behind the counter started throwing everything he

could find at her before she was able to get out the door. >> he just threw stuff at her? this is the perfect time to tackle the robber and defend yourself. >> real hands on. >> now, this woman did leave the store with cash in hand. there was a vehicle waiting outside for her that they believe was driven by a male accomplice. police are still looking for this woman and her accomplice. >> you know what, i don't think she'd get convicted with these two on the jury. >> she just had a bad day. >> a crime's a crime, guys, no matter how low cut the blouse. you guys are going to feel really bad for this next guy i'm about to show you. this is omar, he's 62 years old. he lives in india and he's got a genetic condition called neurofibrometosis. his entire body is covered with benign tumors. >> his entire body, like every inch of his skin. >> it's like bubble wrap all over him.

it started when he was about 14 years old as small lumps and just continued to grow all over his body. he gets itchy in the summer. imagine trying to wash your body with all these crevices and lumps all over you. >> that's almost like a washboard. >> and doctors say it will likely affect his children. in fact his youngest son, who's 12 years old, is already starting to show signs of lumps. >> and there is nothing they can do? >> doctors say there's no cure. omar says it's ruined his life. when he goes for a job, people just should know hun him. they don't want to look at him or give him a job. his wife has had to be the provider for the family. >> this is one of those videos that makes you think if you're having a bad day, just think about this guy.

you had a flat tire today, not as bad as this. you are about to watch a rescue of the furry kind. >> what you're looking at are firefighters from florida looking into a car hoping to rescue a kitten. >> you got him? >> ahhh. >> apparently that car belongs to a mom. she was dropping one of her kids off at a library. she drove two to three miles away to a high school, but apparently while she was at the library, she picked up two stowaways, two kittens. well, two teenagers, katie and her friend, cker, saw the cats were under the c so ran oer f kittens got wrapped up in the axle, so they took off the wheel and got the cat out. the other cat climbed up deeper into the engine and that's when they called the firefighters to

rescue the cat. >> any idea where they came from? >> curiosity carries the cat in all kinds of weird places. >> that cat was screaming on his way out, terrified. >> and you didn't ask the most important thing. >> what's the most important thing? >> what did they name the cats that are now available for adoption in seminole county, florida? >> axle and wheel? >> no. tucker and tuckerina after one of the teen rescuers. this guy's famous brother is a hollywood sex symbol. >> he kind of looks like him. >> but now doug gets a taste of the celebrity lifestyle in a new endorsement deal. so, who's the superstar sibling? >> oh! and a musician who takes his acoutic guitar playing to the next level. >> he just needs that one more beat. >> the story behind the new style next. >> it's entertainment. demi
