10:03 am
for much longer. >> how the smash viral hit is bringing some unwanted attention. he's 7 years old with a genetic condition. and a dog who is making him feel stronger. >> my best friend. >> the amazing tale that brought these two together. and see a training exercise that used a canine who actually used his canine. >> and then goes straight for the tender bits. >> oh! an act of violence was caught on surveillance camera at a walmart in florida. pay attention to the man in black pushing the shopping cart. according to police, that's eddie mckey and he was trying to shoplift some food items. as he was running out the door, he pushes a woman who falls to the ground. other customers come to her aid. there's a twist to this story. nearly ten seconds later, you'll see this man running out the door. according to police, that is
10:04 am
jose martinez. martinez is a shopper at this walmart. watch what he does. he was running after the car, but notice now that the back windshield was missing from the car. martinez was carrying a nine millimeter handgun and shot out the back window of mckey's car as mckey was fleeing the scene. >> oh, that's dodgy. i don't know about that. that's where you cross the line from like good samaritan to breaking the law. >> orange city police officers agree. wstv spoke to an orange city police officer. >> you don't know the totality of the circumstances and you could be putting yourself in harm's way where it would be detrimental to yourself or somebody else. >> they arrested jose martinez and he has been charged with two felonies, including aggravated assault and shooting into an occupied vehicle. mckey, who police say was stealing food items, he faces retail theft charges.
10:05 am
martinez in court said that he wasn't trying to shoot mckey, that he was just trying to mark his car. >> take the license plate. >> 911, what's your emergency? >> oddly, 911 calls came in from people who spotted mckey's car. >> there's a sports car, it's got the windshield in the back blown out. the guy looks like he's running from something. >> i guess it worked. the gallon-smashing prank video has exploded all over the place on the internet, on tv shows. we at "right this minute" the first to talk to the guys about this prank. when we talked to them, we first asked them, hey, did you guys get in any trouble for this? >> we didn't get in trouble, actually. the kind of felt bad. th kind of just a typical spill. >> that might not be the case for much longer because the fairfax, virginia, police department is now investigating this video. we reached out to them.
10:06 am
they told us they don't have a comment on what exactly they are investigating, but they're looking into the video at this point. because these kids didn't get caught in the moment doesn't mean that they're not going to get in trouble. this is just a flat-out jerk move. we're not the only ones who are upset about this. a lot of commenters are saying this is vandalism, criminal mischief. a lot of people upset about this video that has gone completely viral. >> we're just trying to have some fun. but we're sorry if they took it in a bad way. >> if they want us to pay, we'll pay. >> of course, we'll pay, but i mean, we were hoping it doesn't get -- >> too far. >> also in our interview with the boys, they told us that they did pay for some of the milk and they're thinking about going back and paying for the rest of it. >> are you going to pay for those gallons of milk, because milk ain't cheap nowadays. >> we'll probably do that. we're still thinking about it. >> they also told us for their next prank video, they're not
10:07 am
going to do something quite as bad but maybe they'll have to hang up their pranking shoes. two videos that show us it's just another day in -- >> russia! >> look up ahead. this person with a dash cam captures something crazy. >> holy cow, that was like dukes of hazard style. >> that car going way too fast either misses the turn, doesn't calculate, who knows what happened. but dukes of hazard style goes right up in the air. >> what did it hit to launch it? like a snow bank? >> yeah, going super fast, hits the snow at the edge of the road, and then boom, over. there's one reason to clear off a snow bank. might launch your car into the woods. >> on this video, just look at this big semi truck. right there. what's it pushing? >> oh, a car. >> it doesn't even look like he's trying to slow down.
10:08 am
he probably has no idea that car is there. >> this doesn't look like the result of an accident. this looks like maybe the car blocked him in at a parking lot. the dude was like you know what? i gotta get where i'm going, i'm hauling it out of here. >> i can do this all day long. >> welcome to russia. you normally use a two-ton floor jack to change the tire of a car. in this league, the animal rescue league of boston is using it to jag up a shed buzz a little pup got stuck underneath there. there's diamond. you see that white dog stuck under there? they think diamond was chasing a critter through the yard, chased it underneath the shed and somehow got wedged. they had to come in, lift this shed up, dig a hole, and try and get this pup out. here you see they've got the hole dug big enough and diamond starts to work her way out.
10:09 am
>> come here. come here. >> here she comes. they're coaxing her out. >> there you go. there you go. >> it's like she's being born again. >> exactly. very birth-like. >> but she's out, she's safe and she's happy. this guy is going snowboarding, until it all falls apart. >> that came out of nowhere. >> it looks like fog from a fog machine. >> see how it all goes down next. two hands, two pianos. what the heck? >> it's unusual for us to see anyone play the piano that way. >> see how he does it and

10:12 am
if you decide to go on a ski run in italy, and it's after the heaviest snow of the winter, you're going to have these people, it looks like they're mountaineering. they're actually snowboarding. but they tell you to take your mountaineering gear sometimes. and then this happens. >> that came out of nowhere. >> it looks like fog from a fog machine just creeping down the side of the mountain. if that guy had been any closer, he would have been covered by that avalanche. >> but they were kind of tickled by this whole thing. if you listen to the audio. this isn't a ski run for novices. this considered an extreme
10:13 am
skiing route, you have to have all kinds of things to get you through. they were trying to fenegle >> a happy dance for brianne. this one is a story of true friendship that i've got toay might leave you with a lump in your throat. >> i'm 7 years old and this is my best friend. >> owen suffers from a rare genetic condition that causes severe muscle stiffness. as you can see, affects his mobility a great deal. a sad story, but hatchy's story is also tough to feel. >> hatchy's story is that when
10:14 am
he was 5 months old, he was hit by a train. >> hit by a train. >> one of his rear legs and his tail had to be amputated. now, owen's family adopted hatchy and they said that immediately the two became the best of friends. >> the moment that hatchy went into his bedroom, he immediately slowed down, but he gently went up to owen and placed his head so calmly and quietly on his knee and the way that he looked at owen and owen just kind of melted right in front of us and stroked his head and said hello, hatchy. >> obvious that they each recognize each other's struggles and they find beauty and comfort in each other. >> their relationship has given owen a newfound confidence. it's made him feel like he's part of a team. and now hatchy is up for an award. he's part of a competition called friends for life that celebrates heartwarming stories
10:15 am
of friendship in adversity where dogs have truly earned titles of man's best friend through bravery, support, and companionship. i mean, i just love this one. can you imagine somebody discarded this puppy in such a horrible way, only for it to become such a beautiful friendship? it's spectacular. >> hatchy is the best friend i ever had. this is evan shiners, and he is playing bach's french overture on two pianos. it was originally written for two instruments. he's like of course, as a piano player, i need to sit to bach's original form.
10:16 am
>> not to take anything away from this guy, because it's very talented, but i would think it would be easy for him if you can play a piano. you're going to be using two hands to play a piano anyway, so he's just doing it like this instead of like this. but think about how like you're kind of backwards. like they're inverted. so the hand that you'd use to play with your other hand is actually going the other way. he's not looking at either hand, too. he's looking kind of straight ahead. he's closing his eyes at some point. >> because he's a pro, he's really good at this and he could do it with his eyes closed. it doesn't matter if his hands are here, here, here. he is a pro. he just released his latest album of songs. it's called "evan plays seven." it's unusual for us to see anyone play the piano that way, i think that's what makes this video so cool. >> he is the ufc fighter who amazed a group of kids who had never seen a white man before. now hear what he's hoping will come from the viral video. >> i want to be known.
10:17 am
>> and a cure yos cat. find out what the lion might be tr

it's time for the best of rtm. we're going to tell you about a bonus video you can find on our website. >> this is a good video to watch. it's misheard song lyrics round two. they've got a ton of songs on here. >> that's mumford and sons. >> i don't think those are the wrong words. they also got a good one ", rro" >> oh, it so sounds like that. >> head over to our website and check out -- >> best of rtm. >> justin made us crack up yesterday because of a video where he was in eastern congo with a group of kids who had
10:20 am
never seen a white man before. they were so excited about his hair and seeing his big hairy face. >> scared of his head hair. >> one of the coolest videos we've had of this show because of so simple it is. so to tell us more it is, we have justin via skype right now. >> thank you for having me, i'm excited to be here. >> what was it like to be this weird, strange thing for all these kids? >> it was pretty surreal. that village was the least remote village we went to. we went to some that were 85 kilometers deep in the jungle. they lived in leaf and twig huts. some of them had never even heard of a white dude. they were running behind trees. sometimes they would have to touch me to make sure they didn't go through me or that i was a spirit. they were asking me if i came from the plains, but they didn't know what they were. they didn't know what the united states was. it's so simple. >> justin, how big are you? >> i'm 6'3", around 265 pounds. i put that title up as a joke,
10:21 am
the great white sasquatch. the average man is only 4'7". large and in charge in there. >> why were you traveling in the congo? >> i heard of what was going on with the pygmies, that they're the most persecuted people on the planet. they refer to themselves as the forgotten people. they used to live free, but because of illegal deforestation. they were so unloved. i'm also trying to learn some of the language. getting ready to go back for a year. so i'm putting my fighting career off for a year to see if we can set some more slaves free. >> tell us about the foundation. >> it's called fight for the forgotten. i have non-profit status. last time we saw 60 slaves be set free, put on their own lachbld we were able to pay an agriculturalist to stay there and teach them how to farm. i believe that in a year there,
10:22 am
partnering with shalom university, we can set a thousand slaves free. that's the plan. a lot of them don't think they're fully human. they think they're half animal, half human. i was known for fighting against people. now starting with this foundation, i want to be known for fighting for people. pugs go sledding. ♪ animals act like animals. in these two videos, we start with the lion. you can see this lion has taken a shine to the tires. and they're just like house cats. like a house cat would do to
10:23 am
your sofa, they're doing it to the tire. >> there's a lion on the tire cover. i think the lion may be trying to play with the lion on the tire cover. >> you've got a pride of lions. that is a male lion with the mane. kind of like social media for lions. >> this one female, she is like i am going to get this tire. she stops and the other one is like girl, she's just not that into you. >> probably going to be a disappointed female lion when she finds out her crush is actually with firestone. >> we go from the wild to the domesticated. here we have a kitten who refuses to be intimidated by this goat. and the goat even tries its moves on it and it doesn't work. >> in defense of the goat, it does seem like the goat is just trying to play. but the goat is trying to head butt it. >> i think the goat thinks he's a cat and he's just wanting to make a friend. >> there's a big lesson to be learned in this video. don't back down. maybe the motto here is

10:26 am
our friends at household hacker have another hack for us. >> before we show you this video, i want to preface it by saying do not try this at home. >> i love these kinds of videos. >> today on quick tips, turning your hands into massive balls of fire. >> they're using the help of their friend crazy russian hacker. you can only imagine what's going to happen. >> put it upside down like that. then you're going to grab a lighter, and light it up. >> it's just the suds that are
10:27 am
on fire. >> i don't know how this doesn't burn your hand. i feel like that it would, but it burns off and seems to go away. >> i want to try this right now. >> i don't want anyone to try. this i'm so scared because i just feel like this will lead to more videos of people setting their hair on fire by accident. >> okay, i will try it at home. i will try it in the kitchen as soon as we're done. it's always really impressive to see a trained working dog do his thing. brett reynolds, the dog's handler is about ready to put on a display. that's bernie the dog. you see the guy has got the big jacket on. he's totally protected. nothing's going to happen to him. so they get ready. the guy takes off running. we all know what happens here. the dog bites for the jaet, right? he does, and then he goes straight for the tender bites.
10:28 am
he goes after him, too. >> he does clamp down on this marine's "kill bill"s quite tightly before the dog is called off by the handler and says all right, my bad. >> were his "kill bill"s left in bits? >> yeah, a little bit. you see the marine rolling around on the ground in a bit of pain. when he gets up, there are clearly holes in his crotch. no one even goes to help him. i know he's a marine and a very stuff guy. >> oh! >> insult to injury. >> i'm impressed that he's actually on his feet at this point. >> and you can't blame the dog. i mean, dogs like to fetch balls. [ laughter ] it's a big dog. i don't say this very often, but when i saw these ads, they made me smile. the first one is called pinata cars. that really is what they are.
10:29 am
♪ latch on to the affirmative >> oh! >> but instead of tragedy, it's candy and joy and smiles. so everybody's happy. all of a sudden this little girl is crying but we don't know why. then the balance shows up, but instead of carrying away the injured, they bring cake. the second one is from battle zone. you've got helicopters and they're shooting not weapons. rubber duckies into the water. >> for the kids to play with. >> yeah. and cupcakes? and from up above, the bomber planes are not dropping bombs, but stuffed teddy bears. >> what the heck? all right. >> what are we selling? >> what's this for? >> it turns out both of these videos start off as so
