Even if this lie were true, it does NOT take 5 minutes (phone call)
And sorry, no chance in hell you're getting the right leverage with the wheel still on the car.

You need to jack up the car
You need to dismount the tire.
You need to remove the nail (can be a fight when it's flush)
You need to drill out the hole
You need to fight the tire and jam in the plug
You need to repeat this 5 times, since the plug comes out with the tool.
You need to re-inflate the tire.
You need to remount the tire.
You need to jack down the car.

I put the plug in a performance tire in the rear without jacking the car up. Your clothes get dirty though. You have to roll it ahead to where you can get to the leak and with it on the car you can push hard and it doesn't go anywhere.
