9:02 am
why. >> look at the giant hole, the cave 40 feet deep. some coyotes chased a small cat into this cave and the cat fell 40 feet below and these guys weren't having it. they're the rescuers. the guy with the pulley system, one of his buddies is 40 feel the down in the hole. >> that contraption does not look like it would hold a small child and it's really going to pull a calf out of the hole? >> let's look, shall we? >> no way. >> you get nervous, you yes it. >> you hear it jaengling around like it's about to break. >> here comes the fella hand offer hand over hand. >> no way! >> you do feel like he has some kind of super human strength. >> the cat had no noticeable injuries. >> this is awesome to see how they put their brains in action.

9:04 am
down. if you're that drunk, lay down in the bushes here. >> being urged not to drive, even though this wasn't a drinking and driving scenario, still trying to get that message out, be careful. >> and this first surveillance video, the suspect returns with a gun pointed right at the clerk, starts demanding money. >> nice stash, dude. nice face shot. your hoodie doing nothing to disguise you. >> they do get a clear shot of his face. he does get away with cash. the second one is at a market, does the same exact thing, same disguise as well. >> or lack of. >> let's hope he doesn't find the nerve to pull the trigger.
9:05 am
>> this is a shot outside a convenience store, two guys minding their own business. this guy in the green jacket walks past them. as soon as they turn back in the frame, they realize in his hand is a handgun. >> he use it s it to rob the ot guy. apparently nothing good enough for him to take. but just as he's about to walk away with nothing, he does this. >> he shoots? >> he just shot one of the guys. >> he ended up hitting him at the hip. he went through his butt. >> he was taken to the hospital and is in stable condition. >> what a jerk! >> he did it so nonchalant. >> at the end of every year, there's all kinds of lists that come out, the best of this, the

9:07 am
crazy. the suv blows the light. watch how far that car that is hit goes. miami, florida, guy hits into that giant white box truck. it smashed up the whole front end of that suv and hit another car in the process. how do you not notice that? this is what happens when you run red lights. >> so frustrating, people driving distracted, not paying attention and other people just minding the rules, causing them problems. >> if you've ever wanted a racing experience like this, now there's a way. >> it's identical. >> how you can hit the tracks on a smaller scale. >> and find the cute way this pup tries to plow through. >> hasn't quite figured out space.

. by now you've seen the latest installation of this series. over 15 million hits, many guys, many girls are watching this video saying i want to do that, i wish i could thrash a car around a track like ken does. you can for a mere $160 or thereabouts. the folks have created a scale model of ken block's car. it's identical, 1/18 scale
9:11 am
model. not only did they build the model, they bought the exact track that ken raced on. >> i have to say this is really, really cool but you really let us down. you said we can do what ken does for a mere $160. we were thinking we were going to get to ride in the car. >> and i was ready to pay $160 for my booty to sit on that seat and drive that car. >> i still think it's cool. they did it down to the wheels. the rims are exactly the same, the course is exactly the same. and $160 wouldn't even cover the insurance to get in that car with ken. >> i'm really actually blown away by the drifting ability of the person controlling this car because you're doing it with like a little remote control steering wheel and they're able to drift with that much precision. >> that's really great. >> $160 gets you the remote control car, doesn't have to do anything, charge the batteries, boom.

9:18 am
well phones have become such an integrated part of our lives. they really do more than call, they kind of document our lives. artist ivan cash took to the streets to ask a question, what is the last story on your phone? >> last photo is of a heavy metal chick wearing a jacket. >> you're going to get a random sample, some entertaining, goofy, touching stories. >> this morning i took a picture of my cat. my friend send me a picture from her cat [ bleep ] and she said the same. >> i love they're sending

pictures of cat pop. >> my friend was making a gingerbread house and we took a picture of it duct taped together. >> all the responses are fascinating to listen to. >> it's a picture of me playing guitar naked. i don't remember much of the back story. i think i was pretty drunk. >> we have the artist joining us "right this minute" from new york city. ivan, has anybody asked you what the last photo on your phone is? >> oh, man, it's good actually i think. i was just hanging out with a lady friend of mine. actually, i normally don't -- >> yeah, you are normally don't do this kind of stuff. thank you for sharing your video and your project. why is this interesting to you? >> i deal with a lot of art that deals with the ordinary people, the ordinary, the mundane.
9:20 am
these phones allow us to connect with people far away and at the same time hinder our act to connect with those around us. i started by a social experiment asking my friend, what's the last text on your phone, what's your last photo? >> were people willing or were they nervous about it? >> nine out of ten were willing. our photos reflect our lives and sometimes that's not something people want to show publicly. >> this entire series is interesting. if you want to see all the videos go to rightthisminute.com or check out our mobile app. >> if you're hard pressed to

9:22 am
badger. >> [ bleep ] man. >> let's get him out. >> this is in your [ bleep ] skull. i'm not kidding. >> that made me get queasy, watching guys slam their head into thumb tacks. >> i wouldn't try that at home. >> sorry, man. >> what happens to a university president while everyone else is on holiday break? >> he misses his students so much, he losing his mind. >> find out how when the students are away, the president will play -- the ñsxóxgñ
9:24 am

their cars. >> you can see that ice. >> you can see how cold it is outside. as soon as they spray that bottle of water, immediately it's ice. >> sure. well, what else happens, right? below zero water freezes. >> you can see that instant freeze. >> it's not really below zero. below 32. >> depends on what scale we're using here. >> oh, and this froze. >> you guys, they are spraying down everything. >> ice every time. >> this is the opposite of watching an egg fry in the car when it's hot in the summer. >> this video was made because t-payne really misses you.
9:26 am
i don't mean the rapper. i mean the president of this university. the students are on break. he's bored out of his mind. the secretary isn't there. he's playing with his little soldiers, making sure every little book is aligned. >> this is the time you get the odd jobs done. it's a little empty nest syndrome. >> and he hangs out with the mascot the bulldog and sends a message to his students. we have dr. payne here on "right this minute." tell me why you decided to make this video. >> last year i had a individu videographer to my house. we had an idea and threw it together and sent it to the students and they loved it.

9:28 am
>> is there anything you didn't use? >> probably not measuring the basketball goalie. >> when the students come back, are you going to throw them a big welcome back party? >> that's an idea. i haven't gone that far yet. we might have to come up with something. i make it a point to interact with them. i think that makes it special, a lot of the students actually know me and know a bit of my personality and i think this fits with that. >>
