It's k IF. I am sixtyand you're listening to The Conway Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Hey, everybody, Neil Savader in for mister
Tim Conway Junior tonight. Who's onVAKA. You've got Mark Thompson tomorrow?
All right, So I will bewith you until seven o'clock going through everything
(00:20):
you need to know what's going onin the world and what it matters to
you, including the heat alerts.We just went through keeping cool. You
know, we don't deal well whenit comes to extreme weather here in southern
California because it's not what we do. Unless you live in you know,
certain parts of Live in the mountains, you're gonna get snow. If you
(00:40):
live in the desert, you're gonnaget lots of heat. So we don't
always know what to do. Thefact is, don't push it. Listen
to your body and you'll be ao k speaking of things from the outside
jumping on to the inside of yourlife and causing havoc like weather. You
got to hear about this tribe.There's this this tribe deep in the Amazon
(01:08):
rainforest. They didn't have the internetuntil Elon Musk's Starlink satellites brought it to
them. It's pretty amazing when youthink about the technology, what it can
do, and how powerful it isin our lives. However, if you're
(01:29):
listening to you know, John Cobalttoday and you're listening to him this week,
you know that the Internet can alsobe problematic. So at first,
like it was with us, itwas great. You get medical help faster,
connect with friends and family through socialmedia. That's great. But here's
(01:53):
the kicker. They got hooked.They got hooked on the internet very quickly.
And they didn't go from like oneto two to three to four like
we did, like baby steps,baby steps. They got really hooked.
They went from zero to sixty.They started spending all of their time on
(02:19):
porn sites, scrolling through Instagram,doing the same stupid things we do.
We don't need them in our lives. They, as a tribe deep in
the Amazon rainforest, certainly don't needit. But they got hooked super fast.
And to make things worse, theystarted falling for online scams left and
(02:47):
right that things would come their way, and they think innocently, oh,
okay, this is true. Now. Unfortunately, we in this world may
not fall for those scams. Theeasy ones. We fall for a lot,
(03:12):
we fall for you know, fakenews and everything else in between.
Right, So they get caught upin these scams, and it's starting to
chip away. As fast as theytook to the Internet, it is chipping
away at their society. The leadersof the tribe noticed some massive changes.
People were becoming lazier, especially theyounger ones. They're glued to their phones
(03:37):
all the time, sound sound familiar, spending more and more time watching porn
and sharing explicit stuff in group chats. It's the speed of light. I
mean, you're sending this stuff now. You are impregnating minds with garbage super
(03:58):
quickly, and kind of a purifiedenviron, not completely, I mean they
don't talk with clicks and whistles obviously, but pretty secluded. One tribe member
named Anoke thought the internet could reallyhelp their community, especially in those emergency
(04:20):
situations we talked about. So hemanaged to get some Starlink units with the
help of some activists and a philanthropist. But even with all this going down,
even with the help, it startedcausing problems. But now with those
(04:43):
problems, you know, people arepeople are people, Because even with those
problems, most of the tribe memberscouldn't imagine life without the Internet. How
quickly they fall They knew it hadits down inside, so do we.
But they believe the benefits outweigh thebad stuff. Well so do we.
(05:06):
I don't think that's true. Ithink we need to limit ourselves and we
have a hard time doing it.I think the algorithms they use are highly
problematic for adults, litt alone youngpeople. And they got attached that quick.
This is like a study. Thisis a sociological study, a mixed
(05:29):
bag on this small tribe deep inthe Amazonian forest rainforest. There. Internet
brought them close to the world.The world brings them closer to garbage.
Also brought them along some serious issuesthey never had to deal with before.
(05:50):
I think the first thing I sawa photo, you know, one of
the I don't know, maybe triballeaders or what have you, with some
of the ladies. And let's justsay, like when they blurred out the
women were topless. When they blurredthem out, the blur was closer to
the you know, the belly region. So they're gonna go online and they're
(06:12):
gonna go, hey, what's thesestrappy things that keep those things up?
Get. We gotta have those deliveredfrom the big skybird and drop them down
upon us. But the thought ofyoung the first things they went to is
(06:33):
porn, porn, explicit content andgetting wrapped up in scams. You've basically
taken decades, if not more,from this tribe and thrust them like a
(06:54):
rocket into the garbage that we getangry about and are frustrated with on the
daily. Welcome to the first world. Yeah, and they don't have like
uber eat so like they can't justyou know, scroll on their phone and
order food, like they have tohunt and fish and plant for them to
eat. So as they get lazyand stuck on their phones, it's becoming
(07:15):
very detrimental to them because they're notdoing the things to survive. Well,
we're not either. No, I'mnot. No, I just have it
delivered. I said, what doI want? Now? You know what
my seven year old does The minuteI look up something, He's like,
I was looking at this one thingand I really like it, and I
(07:38):
got good grades or whatever's going onin his world. I say, okay,
well, your mother and I willtalk about it. We talk about
it. We agree he's done somegreat things. It's time to be rewarded.
You press that button and he goes, when's it going to be here?
In my day, son, itwas four to six weeks. You
(08:01):
remember that, everything was four tosix weeks. I'll pill both ways,
batrefoot. But it was like inthe rain, anything you saw on TV,
order now one eight hundred, buyit, and then it'd be like
it'll rive in four to six weeks. Now it's like, is it a
here yet? So I guess reallythe moral of this story is one,
don't be a tribe somewhere and getthe internet. So if we can keep
(08:28):
you from doing those things, Ithink will be okay. It'd be cool
if they'd listen to our podcast,though, are you trying to do a
segue? You want me to pitchthe podcast? No, I'm saying if
they're going to be on the phone, that'd be great. If they were
listening to CAFI, No, theygot a lot going on over there.
(08:50):
I think this is just pushing,putting a little more on them. I
guess if they're into porn, okay, well, I guess I'll do the
right thing. If if you're lookingfor something to listen to on demand,
The John Cobelt Show go ahead andlisten to the John coblt Show. Maybe
Tim Conway Jr. And John.I thought we were only supposed to pitch
John Show No No coming up atfour. Turn off the radio and listen
(09:16):
to my podcast. That's the wayI hear it. All right, you're
listening to Tim Conway Junior on demandfrom KFI AM six forty. Hey,
everybody, Neil Savadri here, itis the Tim Conway Junior Show. Tim
is out on vacation. I'm happyto be with you. You have Mark
Thompson tomorrow and Friday, so stickaround for that. Mo Kelly coming up
(09:41):
shortly. All right, I gotthis is part of a bigger issue,
and that is you've got Southern Californiacops when it deals with beach communities cracking
down on electric bicycles motorcycles as thissummer season approaches. As you can imagine,
it's a cause for concern because peopleare irresponsible. That's the reality her
(10:07):
Mosa Beach. The cops there,they want safety top priority. You've got
an increase in these e bike riders, and if you've been anywhere lately in
southern California, they are everywhere.So at first we had what I like
to refer to as the gnats oftransportation, and those are those those scooters,
(10:28):
those scooters from hell where somebody putstheir credit card in, drives them
somewhere, and then leave them inyour front yard if you live in the
city, which is how they Imean you, I'll go out to take
the trash out and I'll be walkingin the dark and I'll see this green
light flashing or a red light orwhat and it's one of these things laying
(10:50):
in the front yard somewhere someone justdumped or in the gutter. So those
are the gnats. Well, thegnats have gotten bigger, and now we've
gotten to mosquitoes, which are thee bikes. So a couple things about
the e bikes, one of whichyou may not know. You you see
how they have pedals. You rememberwhen you were younger and you had the
(11:15):
moped. The moped had pedals,and you're like, yeah, you'd kind
of use them to start it.But do you know really why they have
pedals. They have pedals because itchanges the law as to what that vehicle
is. It can be classified asa bicycle and not as a motor vehicle.
(11:37):
That's the issue. So that's whyyou don't see anybody pedaling because it's
a motorized vehicle, and they getthey bypass those laws like license plates,
like registration like all of that,because really it's a bicycle with a little
(11:58):
something. So until we start treatingand I know this is going to be
unpopular, until we start treating othervehicles and I mean pedal powered bikes and
these e bikes in duro motorcycles,any of these things as street vehicles that
(12:24):
need to be registered in some wayin some sense. And I realize the
absurdity of thinking, Okay, somy son or daughter wants to ride their
bicycle and it's going to have tobe registered. Yeah, it should have
something on it. I'm not sayingthat you should get nailed with, you
know, high costs or something,but it should have a number of some
(12:45):
kind. It should have some sortof registration for their protection and others.
And you start doing this and itmay cause less issues with these things being
stolen. It may change the factthat they're just kind of they kind of
(13:07):
blend into the scenery now, soyou don't see the people, you don't
see the things. I know itsounds like a killjoy, but the problem
they're having in Hermosa Beach right now. The reason why the police there on
the southern California beach communities are crackingdown on these electric bicycles is because people
are idiots. And we've started thissegment of vehicles, whether it is the
(13:33):
scooters now the e bikes, andlike, we've started these things as kind
of listen, you swipe the cardin there, you buy an hour,
you rent an hour, whatever itis, and your goal. You can
do whatever you want. They're onthe sidewalks, they're in the streets,
there's no continuity whatsoever. Now you'regoing to have people riding them on the
(13:56):
beaches, which is even a greaterproblem. And it goes back to the
reality that it's not about the technologyor the ability to do any of these
things. It's about the fact thatwe're stupid and we're rude and we're selfish.
So you're just going to go ridethem wherever you are, and the
police are starting to go, youknow what, screw that, we don't
(14:18):
want that anymore. It's a problem. It becomes an issue. You've got
people diving out of the way,no hyperbole, by the way, diving
out of the way because people arewriting on the sidewalks and the writing you
know, and they say they haveage limits and they need to have credit
cards on that icy kids that arevery young whizzing by full speed through red
(14:41):
lights. So here we are ebikes. I'm telling you look it up.
That whole thing with the pedals,it's a loophole. It's a loophole,
a shay. And with that comespeople being able to use that because
(15:01):
they're not registered. There is noI don't know, tail number, fender
number, banana seat number that youhave on them. And and if you
have that many of these things onthe street, yeah, then you're gonna
start making roadways for bikes and allof that. Then you know what,
then you have to start registering them. And I guarantee, you know cyclists
(15:28):
that are like, oh, sharethe road. I guarantee if you get
somebody riding inline skates, e rollerblades or their skateboard in front of a
cyclist, the cyclist is gonna getpissed off. The cyclist is going to
go, come on, you're slowingeverybody down. That's what I think they
(15:50):
should do. Legalized skateboards and rollerblades and walking in the bike lane.
So they're trying to figure out wayshow to make this stuff work because they
are going to be a problem,not because the technology, but because the
lack of common sense and common decency. You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on
(16:15):
demand from KFI AM six forty.Neil Spader here in for Tim Conway Junior.
Happy to be with you tonight,Landmark New York Bill. Very interesting.
So New York State is weighing thismassive legislation that would prevent tech platforms
you're you know, same players,Instagram, TikTok, those types of things
(16:37):
using algorithms for their social media feedsthat are viewed by children. So this
is eighteen years of age or younger. Would what's the easiest way to say
this, they would receive content inthe order of its posting by the people
they follow, rather than the restof us, which it's filtered through their
(17:03):
algorithms. They're being Meta, they'rebeing Google, they're being Amazon that they
filter it and their algorithm says,what is this individual going to want the
most? They manipulate us. That'sthe reality. We agree to it and
we say it's okay. But ifa child cannot agree to that, cannot
(17:27):
go into a contract, a legaland binding contract, then really they are
not equipped to deal with those typesof addictive producing experiences. And once they
start getting that, and their youngerbrains are going to be feeding off of
(17:48):
the addiction of receiving these things,it becomes highly problematic. So these these
media algorithms make your young children addicts, essentially, and with mental health on
the rise, you have in thiscase, Democratic New York Governor Kathy Hochel.
(18:11):
What's her name again? Am Igetting that crow? Keel? Keel?
Got to be hocal? That's whatsounds right to me. Ho c
You know, it's one of thosethat you hear her name all the time
and I'm like, in my head, it doesn't sound right. I think
it's Hochel. Right, So shebacks the bill, she's in agreement with
(18:33):
the legislature for passage. And thenyou have opposition. Who's the opposition exactly
who you think it would be?Ac advocacy and industry groups tech net.
They're a trade organization. They representwho well companies like Google, Snap Matat,
Amazon, Apple, So they they'reobviously going to push back. So
(18:59):
here's my thought as a dad,keep out of my kid's head. I
have a memory, this great memoryof you know, having conversations with my
boy when he was even younger andtelling him about commercials. We had to
(19:19):
explain to him why YouTube was aproblem for us and why certain YouTube stars
influencers like Ryan, you know,the kid Ryan Asian kid with his family
comes on, talks about toys,plays games, radically entertaining and I enjoyed.
(19:44):
I enjoy watching it with my boy. However, he never watched he
never watched network television. He didn'tknow about commercials, never saw commercial imagine
that. So he didn't understand whatcommercial was, and he didn't understand what
product placement was. And he sawthese things and he found himself wanting them
(20:06):
or look at and he'd see them, the whole family enjoying it, and
he's like, you know, we'revery tight knit family, and he's like,
we could all be doing these thingsright. So social media is going
beyond even a commercial in feeding youthat excitement and the desire to read or
to buy this thing or to experiencethis thing. It's programming itself to program
(20:33):
you. And it's a seven yearold or a six year old or a
nine year old many years ago abuddy of mine who was in the FBI
f B I, Yeah, that'sexactly right. He was a female body
inspector and had the shirt, gotit from Venice. Now he was,
(20:57):
you know, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and he asked me to participate in
a project. I'll explain what thatproject is. We're gonna get some news
here. I'll explain what that wasand how it ties into this legislation that
they're trying to push in New YorkState, which is one of many This
is slowly becoming more popular. That'ssaying, you know what, if our
(21:18):
kids are going to be on socialmedia, you can't use those addicting algorithms
to peer into my kids psyche andtry and manipulate them into buying these things
in the same way, in thesame sense. So I'll get back to
the FBI story when we return.You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand
(21:40):

(24:03):
regular truck, mister Krozer, sir. So she's feeding the giraffe from the
back of the truck of this wildlifecenter. She's a toddler, just a
little on and this goes down.Two year old Paisley Totin was riding in
the back of a pickup truck withher mom feeding all of the animals when
one giraffe accidentally grabbed her shirt andlifted Paisley into the air. Jason Totin
(24:23):
recalled the moment the giraffe picked uphis daughter, which was caught on video
by a car behind them. Westopped to feed the diraft and I turned
around to look out the back window, and I saw the giraffe kind of
digging around her out there, andthen it just grabbed her and I didn't
see her no more. According toTotin, it was a complete accident.
Paisley was holding the bag and thegiraffe went to get the bag, not
get hurt, but ended up gettingher shirt too and picking her up.
(24:45):
But thankfully she didn't get too highup before the giraffe dropped her. Soon
as she went out, her momjust yelled hey, like hey, and
the giraffe just kind of let gooh look oh. When she found well,
her mom was right there to catchher, so no one was hurt,
but it was still a scary momentfor everyone. My heart stopped,
(25:06):
my stomach dropped. It was scary. It scared me. It got your
shirt, yeah, it was itscary. Afterwards, Totin said, they
went to the gift shop and Paisleygot a toy giraffe. We got it.
Yeah, I figured she deserved it. And then she ripped the stuffing
out of it and pulled off itshead and zid you know what. I

taken decades, if not more,from this tribe and thrust them like a
(06:54):
rocket into the garbage that we getangry about and are frustrated with on the
daily. Welcome to the first world. Yeah, and they don't have like
uber eat so like they can't justyou know, scroll on their phone and
order food, like they have tohunt and fish and plant for them to
eat. So as they get lazyand stuck on their phones, it's becoming
(07:15):
very detrimental to them because they're notdoing the things to survive. Well,
we're not either. No, I'mnot. No, I just have it
delivered. I said, what doI want? Now? You know what
my seven year old does The minuteI look up something, He's like,
I was looking at this one thingand I really like it, and I
(07:38):
got good grades or whatever's going onin his world. I say, okay,
well, your mother and I willtalk about it. We talk about
it. We agree he's done somegreat things. It's time to be rewarded.
You press that button and he goes, when's it going to be here?
In my day, son, itwas four to six weeks. You
(08:01):
remember that, everything was four tosix weeks. I'll pill both ways,
batrefoot. But it was like inthe rain, anything you saw on TV,
order now one eight hundred, buyit, and then it'd be like
it'll rive in four to six weeks. Now it's like, is it a
here yet? So I guess reallythe moral of this story is one,
don't be a tribe somewhere and getthe internet. So if we can keep
(08:28):
you from doing those things, Ithink will be okay. It'd be cool
if they'd listen to our podcast,though, are you trying to do a
segue? You want me to pitchthe podcast? No, I'm saying if
they're going to be on the phone, that'd be great. If they were
listening to CAFI, No, theygot a lot going on over there.
(08:50):
I think this is just pushing,putting a little more on them. I
guess if they're into porn, okay, well, I guess I'll do the
right thing. If if you're lookingfor something to listen to on demand,
The John Cobelt Show go ahead andlisten to the John coblt Show. Maybe
Tim Conway Jr. And John.I thought we were only supposed to pitch
John Show No No coming up atfour. Turn off the radio and listen
(09:16):
to my podcast. That's the wayI hear it. All right, you're
listening to Tim Conway Junior on demandfrom KFI AM six forty. Hey,
everybody, Neil Savadri here, itis the Tim Conway Junior Show. Tim
is out on vacation. I'm happyto be with you. You have Mark
Thompson tomorrow and Friday, so stickaround for that. Mo Kelly coming up
(09:41):
shortly. All right, I gotthis is part of a bigger issue,
and that is you've got Southern Californiacops when it deals with beach communities cracking
down on electric bicycles motorcycles as thissummer season approaches. As you can imagine,
it's a cause for concern because peopleare irresponsible. That's the reality her
(10:07):
Mosa Beach. The cops there,they want safety top priority. You've got
an increase in these e bike riders, and if you've been anywhere lately in
southern California, they are everywhere.So at first we had what I like
to refer to as the gnats oftransportation, and those are those those scooters,
(10:28):
those scooters from hell where somebody putstheir credit card in, drives them
somewhere, and then leave them inyour front yard if you live in the
city, which is how they Imean you, I'll go out to take
the trash out and I'll be walkingin the dark and I'll see this green
light flashing or a red light orwhat and it's one of these things laying
(10:50):
in the front yard somewhere someone justdumped or in the gutter. So those
are the gnats. Well, thegnats have gotten bigger, and now we've
gotten to mosquitoes, which are thee bikes. So a couple things about
the e bikes, one of whichyou may not know. You you see
how they have pedals. You rememberwhen you were younger and you had the
(11:15):
moped. The moped had pedals,and you're like, yeah, you'd kind
of use them to start it.But do you know really why they have
pedals. They have pedals because itchanges the law as to what that vehicle
is. It can be classified asa bicycle and not as a motor vehicle.
(11:37):
That's the issue. So that's whyyou don't see anybody pedaling because it's
a motorized vehicle, and they getthey bypass those laws like license plates,
like registration like all of that,because really it's a bicycle with a little
(11:58):
something. So until we start treatingand I know this is going to be
unpopular, until we start treating othervehicles and I mean pedal powered bikes and
these e bikes in duro motorcycles,any of these things as street vehicles that
(12:24):
need to be registered in some wayin some sense. And I realize the
absurdity of thinking, Okay, somy son or daughter wants to ride their
bicycle and it's going to have tobe registered. Yeah, it should have
something on it. I'm not sayingthat you should get nailed with, you
know, high costs or something,but it should have a number of some
(12:45):
kind. It should have some sortof registration for their protection and others.
And you start doing this and itmay cause less issues with these things being
stolen. It may change the factthat they're just kind of they kind of
(13:07):
blend into the scenery now, soyou don't see the people, you don't
see the things. I know itsounds like a killjoy, but the problem
they're having in Hermosa Beach right now. The reason why the police there on
the southern California beach communities are crackingdown on these electric bicycles is because people
are idiots. And we've started thissegment of vehicles, whether it is the
(13:33):
scooters now the e bikes, andlike, we've started these things as kind
of listen, you swipe the cardin there, you buy an hour,
you rent an hour, whatever itis, and your goal. You can
do whatever you want. They're onthe sidewalks, they're in the streets,
there's no continuity whatsoever. Now you'regoing to have people riding them on the
(13:56):
beaches, which is even a greaterproblem. And it goes back to the
reality that it's not about the technologyor the ability to do any of these
things. It's about the fact thatwe're stupid and we're rude and we're selfish.
So you're just going to go ridethem wherever you are, and the
police are starting to go, youknow what, screw that, we don't
(14:18):
want that anymore. It's a problem. It becomes an issue. You've got
people diving out of the way,no hyperbole, by the way, diving
out of the way because people arewriting on the sidewalks and the writing you
know, and they say they haveage limits and they need to have credit
cards on that icy kids that arevery young whizzing by full speed through red
(14:41):
lights. So here we are ebikes. I'm telling you look it up.
That whole thing with the pedals,it's a loophole. It's a loophole,
a shay. And with that comespeople being able to use that because
(15:01):
they're not registered. There is noI don't know, tail number, fender
number, banana seat number that youhave on them. And and if you
have that many of these things onthe street, yeah, then you're gonna
start making roadways for bikes and allof that. Then you know what,
then you have to start registering them. And I guarantee, you know cyclists
(15:28):
that are like, oh, sharethe road. I guarantee if you get
somebody riding inline skates, e rollerblades or their skateboard in front of a
cyclist, the cyclist is gonna getpissed off. The cyclist is going to
go, come on, you're slowingeverybody down. That's what I think they
(15:50):
should do. Legalized skateboards and rollerblades and walking in the bike lane.
So they're trying to figure out wayshow to make this stuff work because they
are going to be a problem,not because the technology, but because the
lack of common sense and common decency. You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on
(16:15):
demand from KFI AM six forty.Neil Spader here in for Tim Conway Junior.
Happy to be with you tonight,Landmark New York Bill. Very interesting.
So New York State is weighing thismassive legislation that would prevent tech platforms
you're you know, same players,Instagram, TikTok, those types of things
(16:37):
using algorithms for their social media feedsthat are viewed by children. So this
is eighteen years of age or younger. Would what's the easiest way to say
this, they would receive content inthe order of its posting by the people
they follow, rather than the restof us, which it's filtered through their
(17:03):
algorithms. They're being Meta, they'rebeing Google, they're being Amazon that they
filter it and their algorithm says,what is this individual going to want the
most? They manipulate us. That'sthe reality. We agree to it and
we say it's okay. But ifa child cannot agree to that, cannot
(17:27):
go into a contract, a legaland binding contract, then really they are
not equipped to deal with those typesof addictive producing experiences. And once they
start getting that, and their youngerbrains are going to be feeding off of
(17:48):
the addiction of receiving these things,it becomes highly problematic. So these these
media algorithms make your young children addicts, essentially, and with mental health on
the rise, you have in thiscase, Democratic New York Governor Kathy Hochel.
(18:11):
What's her name again? Am Igetting that crow? Keel? Keel?
Got to be hocal? That's whatsounds right to me. Ho c
You know, it's one of thosethat you hear her name all the time
and I'm like, in my head, it doesn't sound right. I think
it's Hochel. Right, So shebacks the bill, she's in agreement with
(18:33):
the legislature for passage. And thenyou have opposition. Who's the opposition exactly
who you think it would be?Ac advocacy and industry groups tech net.
They're a trade organization. They representwho well companies like Google, Snap Matat,
Amazon, Apple, So they they'reobviously going to push back. So
(18:59):
here's my thought as a dad,keep out of my kid's head. I
have a memory, this great memoryof you know, having conversations with my
boy when he was even younger andtelling him about commercials. We had to
(19:19):
explain to him why YouTube was aproblem for us and why certain YouTube stars
influencers like Ryan, you know,the kid Ryan Asian kid with his family
comes on, talks about toys,plays games, radically entertaining and I enjoyed.
(19:44):
I enjoy watching it with my boy. However, he never watched he
never watched network television. He didn'tknow about commercials, never saw commercial imagine
that. So he didn't understand whatcommercial was, and he didn't understand what
product placement was. And he sawthese things and he found himself wanting them
(20:06):
or look at and he'd see them, the whole family enjoying it, and
he's like, you know, we'revery tight knit family, and he's like,
we could all be doing these thingsright. So social media is going
beyond even a commercial in feeding youthat excitement and the desire to read or
to buy this thing or to experiencethis thing. It's programming itself to program
(20:33):
you. And it's a seven yearold or a six year old or a
nine year old many years ago abuddy of mine who was in the FBI
f B I, Yeah, that'sexactly right. He was a female body
inspector and had the shirt, gotit from Venice. Now he was,
(20:57):
you know, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and he asked me to participate in
a project. I'll explain what thatproject is. We're gonna get some news
here. I'll explain what that wasand how it ties into this legislation that
they're trying to push in New YorkState, which is one of many This
is slowly becoming more popular. That'ssaying, you know what, if our
(21:18):
kids are going to be on socialmedia, you can't use those addicting algorithms
to peer into my kids psyche andtry and manipulate them into buying these things
in the same way, in thesame sense. So I'll get back to
the FBI story when we return.You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand

(24:03):
regular truck, mister Krozer, sir. So she's feeding the giraffe from the
back of the truck of this wildlifecenter. She's a toddler, just a
little on and this goes down.Two year old Paisley Totin was riding in
the back of a pickup truck withher mom feeding all of the animals when
one giraffe accidentally grabbed her shirt andlifted Paisley into the air. Jason Totin
(24:23):
recalled the moment the giraffe picked uphis daughter, which was caught on video
by a car behind them. Westopped to feed the diraft and I turned
around to look out the back window, and I saw the giraffe kind of
digging around her out there, andthen it just grabbed her and I didn't
see her no more. According toTotin, it was a complete accident.
Paisley was holding the bag and thegiraffe went to get the bag, not
get hurt, but ended up gettingher shirt too and picking her up.
(24:45):
But thankfully she didn't get too highup before the giraffe dropped her. Soon
as she went out, her momjust yelled hey, like hey, and
the giraffe just kind of let gooh look oh. When she found well,
her mom was right there to catchher, so no one was hurt,
but it was still a scary momentfor everyone. My heart stopped,
(25:06):
my stomach dropped. It was scary. It scared me. It got your
shirt, yeah, it was itscary. Afterwards, Totin said, they
went to the gift shop and Paisleygot a toy giraffe. We got it.
Yeah, I figured she deserved it. And then she ripped the stuffing
out of it and pulled off itshead and zid you know what. I
