Welcome to the untamed realm of the World Wide Web, a swirling vortex of weirdness, bullying and self-obsessed social media posts. In this digital jungle, Jono and BN are your fearless guides, leading you through the wildest parts of the Wild Wild Web. This is the Wild Wild Web. Yes, thank you very much for joining us, the Wild Wild Web our dear friend Ben Boyce-Megan. Yeah, he's the wee sporting injury that we've been giving him shit for all week. Yeah. Actually took a turn for the worse last night and he got swollen, he got a fever.

Yeah, he's been going to the gym to get swolled and the only thing that swolled up when he was doing a bench press, he tore a ligament in his elbow and then the body being the magnificent thing it is was like all injury and then bursitis set in and all the liquid and fluids sat around his elbow. But then that sunk down his arm.

Yeah, his wrist, when I saw him last yesterday, had swollen up. So he did look swole, but not in a good way. Painful swole. Do you think he was trying to show off at the gym? Do you think he would have upped his weights or something? Yeah, he might have gone a bit too hard. But yeah, he sent a photo from A&E last night, mid 12.30 in the morning. Drip.

And he's got to go back for another session of drips tonight and tomorrow night. He's been playing it down, though, and not wearing his sling. That's the thing. And the doctor said, you've got to wear this. And he was like, I think he would always go, this looks overboard. It looks overly dramatic. Yeah, but apparently not. Because it would have been raising his arm up. So then all the fluid wouldn't have sunk down. not No Well it would have been

Because it would have been Raising his arm up So then all the fluid Wouldn't have sunk down Yeah If it makes sense Yeah Well hopefully he's back on Monday

And I love it how us As mere mortals We go to the doctor And we're like What do they think they know And then we go and just do The opposite of what The medical professional

Has told us to do Also he hurt it And he didn't even want to go to the hospital. His wife made him go. He's like in serious pain and he's like, no, should we write? It's like, no, it won't be right. Well, he's dealing with the fallout of that right now. Hey, now you've found something for the Wild Wild Web today involving two whales.

So this is a world first. Apparently they have taken photos of humpback whales engaging in sexual activity for the first time. The difference here is that both humpback whales were males. So they were taking photos, these wildlife photographers, of these two males playing together. And then afterwards they looked at the photos and were like, oh, hang on a second. They're actually having sexy times. These two humpback whales. Living up to the name as well.

So what does this say? Does it say that there are some homosexual... Well, now that this is the first time, they didn't realise that humpback whales did this. So it seems like they are... There's a lot of animals in the animal kingdom that do this. So it seems like they are there's a lot of animals in the animal kingdom that do this like there's homosexual penguins

isn't there in San Fran? I think there are. Don't they have a baby chick? So there's a few animals that actually do it but this is the first time they've noticed that humpback whales do as well. And they've caught it on camera. This might be a very stupid question. Okay.

But I'm going to ask it anyway and then probably regret it afterwards. Can the male get pregnant? The male whale? Well. Probably not. Probably not? But then maybe. There's only one way to find out.

We'll go to the Wild Wild Web. We've got a stingray. Has that stingray given birth? That stingray, either it's been impregnated by a shark or it made itself pregnant. So you've got a stingray that could have potentially made itself pregnant. You always feel a little reassured when you think

you're asking a very, oh, they are doing it. There we go. It's kind of a. Just showing John a photo of the two of them. Yeah. Yeah. Also, a bit of privacy. A bit of privacy. They're like guys. It's kind of a... Just showing John a photo of the tour. Yeah. Yeah. Also, a bit of privacy. A bit of privacy.

There's like photographers there taking their photos. Yeah. One's significantly bigger than the other. The bigger one's on top. Yeah. Yeah. See, I'd want that the other way around, personally. Also, is that bubbles that you're looking at?

I hope so. So, you always feel reassured when you've asked a stupid question to someone that when you Google it and it comes up with the end of the sentence halfway through time. Like someone else's answer. You're like, thank goodness.

So can a male whale get pregnant? So this has been asked before. Probably after these photos. What is the answer? Nah. Nah. Nah. So it was purely good times. It was a stupid question.

Also, most animals don't do that for pleasure, right? It's just dolphins. A humpback whale is one of the ones that actually... Can I tell you a story about a dolphin? I got two stories about a dolphin. Here's the first story I know about a dolphin. Someone, when we were working on the Rock Radio station, he was a diver.

He called her and he phoned up. And he was deep sea diving. And he got pinned to the ocean floor by a dolphin. What? And was sexually assaulted by a dolphin in his wet suits obviously so that's and it was yeah they do it they do it so obviously divers maybe with their wet suits look like whoa very randy beings the dolphins yeah that's terrifying because you're like, well, I am going to drown like this. Well, he still has oxygen tank and things like that.

So I think he was all right. But yeah, I think he's a little... Did he have any injuries? No, I think it was just like he could just feel the... And he was face down on the ocean floor. Oh my God. Yeah. And he rung you to tell you about it on National Wide Radio.

He said, I got back to the surface and he's like, I got back on the boat and he's like, I just sat there in silence for about 15 minutes, just going, just downloading what had just happened. What's just happened to me. Wow. And then that's one dolphin story I have. And another dolphin story, we took the kids to see the dolphins.

You know the ones that look like they're having the time of their life, but they live in a pool. In like SeaWorld or whatever. Yeah. They're happy as Larry, okay? They don't want to be out there in the ocean humping random strangers. No. And you could pat the dolphins.

So you could go into their little area and we're patting the dolphins. And I was listening to the trainer talk and tell us about the dolphins in their regime and i was just patting the dolphin and i could tell the dolphin was like it was kind of making quite happy yes that was good thanks that was a talent thanks Thanks. How long have you known you can do that? Oh, forever. Do it again. That is so good. That's the only reason I brought this humpback whale story to light. No, carry on. It is.

I feel like I do know where this story's going, though. Anyway, so I'm patting the dolphin, and I'm listening to the thing, and I make noise, and then the trainer goes, oh, oh, you're patting the dolphin's vagina. Had you started on its head and it had rolled over? I don't know what had happened. I was just patting. I just thought you could just pat them and rub them.

And that was a fatal mistake. So then all the group laughed at me. Yeah, very embarrassed. But luckily it was over in Australia. You sexually assaulted a dolphin. Yeah, very embarrassed. But luckily it was over in Australia. You sexually assaulted a dolphin. Yeah, I got one back for us. You heard the first story. That was a win for them.

A win for the fish. You had to cancel it on so many levels with that story. I know, I know. Yeah, but then we had a photo with it. Very cute. They're cute. They're probably one of the cutest fish. What was its name?

Do you remember? I can't. No. That's rude. I don't even remember its name. Asshole. What a prick. Come in here,

pet my dolphin vagina and leave. Not even a phone call the next day. All right. That's the one. We're going to take you out with Megan's dolphin noise again Oh god I got so loving Great that's so good Have a lovely weekend
