0:00There is a 12 year old girl being hailed a hero today, some heroes and zeros in Tennessee. She saved her grandmother from a house fire two weeks ago. Her name is Tyler, excuse me, her name, I don't have the girl's name. I really should have that. I can't believe, oh wait a minute, I do. No, I don't. I don't know this 12 year old, but she is a hero. Save the grandmother when a fire broke out at her grandmother's house, and this is the 9-1-1 call that was made after the grandmother was being dragged in. We have a fire, we have an injured. Okay, one of it was injured, everybody's out of the house, that somebody's injured. Yes ma'am, how bad are they injured? We just heard that she has severe burns on her neck. She's 72, and she's crippled. She's crippled. Yes ma'am. We don't use the term crippled anymore, that's cool. I picked her grandma holding up a burn metal finger. She crippled right here.

1:00She's crippled, she's crippled, she is, even the 9-1-1, she's crippled. Yeah, she hasn't been able to say that word in years. No, no, we got a burned crippled in here. That's going to be like the nurses that live above me calling 9-1 for me. I mean, play that call back and just hear it. All right, that's me. We have a fire, we have an injured. One of it was injured, everybody's out of the house, that somebody's injured. Yes ma'am, how bad are they injured? We just heard that she has severe burns on her neck. She's 72, and she's crippled. She's crippled. Yes ma'am. I'm not crippled. I'm 42. I look 72. 42. I'm trying to keep that a hard time telling old people they do. Yeah, I guess so. This is the fire chief in Lawrence County who says the 12-year-old saved the day. A child made a decision to help somebody out of a house, that some adults maybe would have a trouble overcoming the fear. Obviously, she sustained some burns and doing so, so it tells you that the conditions inside the residents were very dangerous at the time.

2:04And obviously, she had to make the decision that somebody else was off. She did, and she said she did. Yeah, and on the phone call, she's remarkably calm. Oh, you know all things to tell her. Yeah, absolutely. Very, very. Oh, just knew her. I didn't jot her name down. I didn't jot her name down. So there's a girl in Tennessee. I didn't think it's important to the story, but whatever. You know, she's a hero here today. The zero has been caught. He's in Florida, 39-year-old man. I jotted his name down. Keith Wallace. He's been arrested. Listen to the scheme that he was pulling at target stores. They call him the taco seasoning thief because he would grab large boxes of trading cards. Now, trading cards are, it's not baseball cards anymore, isn't it? Is it just everything? It's everything. It's baseball. They have every box. They have every ball. Basketball. So he would buy it as a ball. I was like, yes, target has a ton of trading cards. And so he would buy large boxes of these trading cards and an equal number of taco seasoning packets that cost 99 cents each. And he would put the seasoning packet

3:04on the bottom of the baseball cards, pass them over the scanner, and put both into the bag. Pretty brilliant scheme that he had. There's a name for that. I forget where they call that now in the retail theft world. It goes. They do it a lot. If you get good at it, it looks like you're scanning one item when you're actually scanning another. We pass the weight point, and you know, it'll always like, anytime I put something in, it's like, that's the wrong weight, take it out of scanning again. I don't think they do that anymore. The scale thing. Only like, I think some drug stores do that now, but I feel like the grocery store, I just put it directly back in the cart, and they don't do anything. Yeah, and at Target, there's no scale. Yeah. Walmart started that. They let you put it right into the cart, which I did, and then all the other grocery stores followed. And you don't even have to weigh it anymore, which does lead to more of this kind of theft, I would think. Yeah. So the guy was doing this, and so what he would do is spend very little money on all these cards. So Target said that he got them for over $10,000 in card boxes, and then he would go online

4:06and resell the cards for even more money. So he's steaming the cards, and then he made $50,000 on your profit. Yeah. Nothing but two counts of felony organized retail theft, is what he's been hit with. He could go to prison for over 90 years, if they hit, because they've got him on camera now multiple times. Yeah, the taco seasoning thief, because that was what he chose. What a perfect thing to just put it right on the bottom of them. Yeah, and they're 99 cents. So he get 10 boxes of cards for $10, and then go sell them for your profit. Yeah. There was, I saw some, I guess it was barstool that some Michael Jordan card, recently sold for $2,000. Oh, it's unbelievable. Now the price is, they call it a one-of-one, and maybe that means it's the only one. I think so. Yeah, I'm sure. But it was $89, it was not a rookie card. It was from 1989. Now as soon as somebody does something, they take a piece of their jersey, get him and put it on a card and get him to sign it and say, this is a one-of-one, you know, start your bidding or find it in the pack. You think Mendoza for the quarterback

5:07has done that already? Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, that guy that played the rookie for the Hornets, that con canoe bowl, he broke like the rookie three-point record the other night. The next day, tops was advertising, here's the jersey who wore to break it and signed this card, we're putting in a pack, go find it. So there's only gonna be one. Yeah. And he's got, and he broke that record very early in the season. Very early, yeah. You can shoot clearly. Yeah. But can you argue he's at a better season than Cooper Flag? I would personally. Very comparable, yeah. Me too. I don't think it's even comparable at this point. I mean, Flag has been injured. You think he's bad? Yeah. And look what he's done for the Charlotte Hornets. That too. Yeah. They're good. I mean, he's made the Hornets decent. They're gonna be a playoff team for the first time in 10 years. Stunning. The other hero, a woman in an upstate New York. Her name is Diane Bennett. She recently finished up chemo treatments for stage three breast cancer. She ordered two cakes from Walmart. The employee who sold her the cakes. She's the hero here. I didn't jot down her name. I'm in a real super villain today.

6:12Like I who steals cards. We know his names. Not a hero. It's just you know. I'm on edge. I had a Celsius. I'm on edge. Yeah. I went overboard with the Celsius. And I'm really on edge with this. He's on the hard stuff again for big time. Biggie already noticed it. Biggie came at me in the sick and the early hour. I said that Kristen Bell, who's gonna be in the frozen sequels, they're making two more frozen movies. And she said, there's a rumor she's being paid $60 million for each movie and she disputed that. And Biggie said, it's worth it. Even if she is being paid that, they'll make billions of dollars to which I said, prove it, that ain't happening. I know better. These movies will flop. And I doubled down on it in the next hour. He was oddly combative over frozen. That ain't against frozen. The most successful animated movie of all time. You know, the people are gonna flop. And later he'll be driving home and he'll think, why was I so combative about frozen? I was. Will you call and apologize? Oh, yeah, definitely. I don't know what happens.

7:12I know I'm getting fired. Anonymous, you're talking about ticket switching. Go ahead. Yeah, that's like me that it's called. I do it often. I'll get a $200 shopping cart down to $15. You do it, wait, wait, what? You're admitting it? You do it. Yeah, I do it. I'm bad. I'm the reason why when you go to, so check out, they swarm you like that. So we're shoulder because of me. That's right. Is there one story you find it's easiest to do? Home Depot. Really? She's, dude. Do you ever get close to being caught? No, it's all about confidence and swagger. Sometimes if they get on to me, I'll just talk to them. But most of those people really don't care. They're just there for their eating skate. Yeah. Yeah. And what item is best to scan when you're really buying a different item? Well, the technique is really scanning something similar. For example, I recently purchased a lot of self-leveling. It's like $38 a bag.

8:14What I'll do is I'll get a bar scan of regular concrete. So when they're looking at their little pomfile, it still comes up as concrete. There's not the actual product. I see. And so you save a lot of money that way. Wow. I'll get it from $200 down to $15. My wife hates it. It still walks away because she knows I'm doing it. Oh my goodness. And how many times would you say you've done it? Estimate. I do it daily. Every day. What's the hardest store? Which to do it? There is no hard store. Oh my god. That's what I'm talking to the Joker. That's what I know. That is swagger. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right.
