Today on the Wild Wild Web Megan, why some kids were left horrified after they went to a Seattle Zoo. Welcome to the untamed realm of the world's wide web. A swirling vortex of weirdness, bullying and self-obsessed social media posts. In this digital jungle, Jono and Vienna are your fearless guides. Leading you through the wildest parts of the wild wild web this is the wild wild web it is the wild wild web where we take an actual real news story and then we talk about it and who knows as we say every time where it may end up today well it's quite a horrific experience for some kids really yeah a real core memory situation this is at

seattle's woodland park zoo they have uh two big brown bears big grizzly bears uh and so people were watching the bear it was really close to the window there was a little school trip there so there's at least a handful of kids who are right close to this brown bear. And that's when Mama Duck and three ducklings land in the little pond in the enclosure. And the bear's like, yum yum yum

ducklings. And the duckling's like well nice to see you and they flew away and everything was happy. That's what you'd hope would happen but unfortunately not. Oh no, okay we can't watch this. Hey, buddy. Can you leave him alone? Can we not?

Juniper. Juniper. Did it eat him? No, that's not nice. That's not nice. It's eating the baby. No. That's not a nice moment. Oh, kids, I know. Baby! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!

No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!

No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!

No! Animals. I mean, it's a wild animal and a thing, and that's what happens. But it's quite confronting when that sort of stuff happens in real life. Also, the bear took it right up to the window right in front of the kids. It's like, man. Oh, so he's like, he knows exactly what he's doing. He's like, this is the only fun I'm going to get in my day while I'm trapped inside here. But wouldn't you be like, all right, let's go to the next enclosure. Quick, quick, let's go away. It's the circle of life, baby.

You stand there with your kids watching it happen. They need to learn it, don't they? At one moment or another. But you're right, that's going to sit with all of those children for a very long time. That'll shape some maybe future, what do you reckon? Environmentalists. Yeah, environmentalists. Zoologists.

Oh, were you going to say psychopaths? Arsonists or psychologists. Oh, right. Yeah, poor kids. Depending on which way they go. What was the biggest lesson you learnt at an early age? The one thing, the one memory that will stay with you from childhood. I think of the zoo.

Well, I remember going to the Wellington Zoo. I think I've told you this before. And getting peed on by the monkey. Because Dad was like, get a photo and stand by the cage with your back. And my sister and I were back to the monkey. And the monkey, I think, again, probably knew what he was doing. Just peed out through the, through the holes, through the cage

and ended up on the back of me. I feel like monkeys are too smart to be enclosed. Yeah, you're right. They're like, all right, stand close to me, I'm going to pee on you.

So that was, I guess it was a lesson learnt. Don't turn you back on a monkey. You know, to the Auckland Zoo, they have those huge like pillars now where the,

like orangutans and stuff can literally just swing over top of you. Yeah. Free range. They're free range. They're free range. They're sort of power pole things

and they've got ropes from one to another and they're like directly like sort of 20 metres above. But could they not just drop down and be out of their enclosure?

I don't know. If they're having a bad day on the ropes? Yeah. I guess if it's a big jump maybe they just know that they wouldn't jump that far.

I don't know. But you're right. It's out in the open. It's just out in the open. Majestic when you watch them go along. They just glide along those roads, don't they? But 20 metres up and over the pathway of the zoo, that's prime peeing on territory.

I didn't even think about that. Yeah. Do they just poo while swinging? They can do whatever they want. They're up there. Yeah. I saw a great video speaking of animals yesterday probably one a bit more wholesome in some ways than the one you just brought megan but it was like and they called it the best sporting event of the weekend so there was a guy filming in the uk in his backyard and uh a piece of bread he'd left a

piece of bread out there and there was a there was a it was like a four-way competition between four types of birds there was a pigeon a pigeon was down down there trying to get the bird and then there was a magpie on the fence and there was a crow oh and i think there was a seagull as well and they were all wanting that oh they were just standing off oh no so is there a winner oh so the thing it was it was quite good it was it was really good so the pigeon was there first and then all of a sudden the crow started coming down and trying to and then another crow came out of nowhere and okay and then i think it was oh was none of the other birds like the seagull or no the magpie came in and attacked the crows they're having a fight as well and this whole thing was going off of it and then out of nowhere a cat went through the fence like a late

night i tried to try to swoop at the birds missed the birds completely but out of nowhere the cat there was a cat just lurking in the background as well. So in the end I think they all flew away after the cat put its paw through. I was like, geez, that was high. That was a great sporting event. It was. All action. It was the best sporting event of the weekend, he reckons.

What was one core memory for you, Megan? Now bearing in mind you grew up a lot of time spent at a naturist park. Oh, yeah. Yeah, oh, yeah. Any memories from the naturist park? Lots of memories. I can still vividly see people playing tennis and trampolining. Trampolining?

I've seen the tennis being played on the news when they do a piece on the naturist park, but trampolining, again, another wild sport for bits to just be flapping up all around. Yeah, and people did do it naked, and if I close my eyes, I can still see it. So that's a cool memory for me when I was like eight. Would that hurt?

It would hurt me. Yeah, right, depends on where you are. Like, you need support because that would hurt. I don't know, like, Why do you get naked and be like, you know what, I could do a trampoline. Hey, we're going to take a quick break from the Wild Wild Web. We'll be back shortly after a message from our sponsors.

Thank you for that wonderful message from our sponsors. I feel like I'm all good with the naturist part. I'm totally chill with it. But in tennis, I think it's chill. But the trampolines, that's just not necessary. Why don't they just put some clothes on for that bit? Oh, just don't do. There's too much movement. It's like where people would go skinny't they just put some clothes on for that bit? Or just don't do. There's too much movement.

It's like where people would go skinny dipping, so take their clothes off. Yeah. Well, then it's the opposite. It's like, put your clothes on just for this little bit. Or just like, I wouldn't see people going for a morning jog naked. You don't do that because, you know, like chafing, bouncing, all that. Like some sports just requires some support, you know?

Lawn bowls, You can do that. That's nice. Yeah, lawn bowls. And they would. Lawn bowls, naked. Yeah, it's a great sport to do naked. Okay, best sport to do naked. I think you'd probably...

I'd say lawn bowls. It's certainly not like horse riding wouldn't be good. Golf? Golf. Golf, a lot of swinging though. Yeah, like swinging around. Yeah, you're right. Oh, I think you crack the lawn bowls.

I mean, throwing darts, but then darts and being naked as well, you know? Dangerous. Not moving much for darts. Worst sportarts and being naked as well. Dangerous. Not moving much for darts. Worst sport to do naked? Worst sport? Rugby. Scrum. Or roller derby would be pretty horrific.

Yeah, something that you're going to fall over and it's going to be pretty bad. I have seen people get roller skate indentations on their bum. Wasn't that the original Olympics? Wasn't it like wrestling and stuff? Wasn't that all old school? Were they naked? I think they were naked back in the day, I think.

Good old days. That feels like a cover. Feels like a ruse. Oh, it was the Greeks when they kicked it. The Greek wrestling, yeah. I think so. Have I just...

It had some undertones to it, the Greek wrestling, didn't it? Yeah. I'm sure stuff kicked on after the wrestle. Kick-ons. Different kind of kick-ons. Hey, but why not?

Hey, why not? Did you think? We should turn this into a sport. Yeah. Why not? Why not? Oh, yeah. It won't be my earliest memory.

I remember my dad taking me to this park for Guy Fawkes, and we lit off a whole bunch of skyrockets, and I just remember them going directly into a house and they had a giant window on their lounge and they were all watching and I just remember them saying it's time to go son it's time to go and we just fled out of there hightailed it out of there. Did they go into their house? Definitely like all in the front yard

Oh my god. Yeah it was a misfire. No surprise though as a band. Yeah and my other because your dad's a bit lax with the safety too back then. Yeah. I remember going for a walk with him and I took my skateboard and there was a giant hill. You know how sometimes roads come down, but then a hill will be a driveway for houses

up the top? Yeah. So I was at the top of that and he was on the footpath below and he's like, I reckon you can do it, son. Oh my God. Oh, it's good confidence for you, Dad. I was like, I believe in you. Dad said I could do it

i couldn't do it i went down and start it was quite stony and it did not end well was it a skateboard yeah i was on a skateboard yeah it was a steep ass hill and he was naked make it worse another sport you don't want to do naked. I remember I had a skateboard incident. I was on all fours and my brother was pushing me along and I hit a stone. I face planted the footpath. I remember just getting gravel greys all over my face. I had to go to school and the teachers were like, what's

happened? And looking back now, they were probably like, are you safe? Is everything okay? I had a huge greys on my face. He got in Shit I remember Some conversations Happening between

Annie and John When we returned too Yeah It's But do you remember Doubling people on your BMX bars Yeah

To the dairy Yeah You wouldn't do that Nowadays Also just like Boys think it hurts When you fall down On that bar

It also hurts For females too To fall down On the middle bar. Oh, absolutely. You were saying a lot, you know, the scooters. How many people get on the scooters these days? Sometimes you see four or five kids on a lime scooter. That's kind of the equivalent, I guess, these days of like,

oh, W the Dairy, let's get a lime scooter and hop on that. It doesn't seem like the scooter's struggling either. They're moving along at a pretty decent pace. But you're like, this is going to go terrible, guys. It's going to go wrong at some stage, right? Hey, well that was today's Wild World Weep. Anything else wild? Do you guys want to contribute? I think we got

through some wild conversations, didn't we? You've got a nice vest on today. It looks good, that. It looks vintage, actually. Vintage vest? One of those things when you look through your wardrobe, you're like, oh, I've worn that for a while. It's good, because there because it's not you know those vests that like are quite dadsy the real puffery ones this is like a slim fit slumber it is yeah yeah yeah for our podcast audience yeah yeah yeah yeah okay well this has been here and and john is wearing

his statement jacket. Megan calls it a statement jacket, which has got inside my head now, so I only wear it once a month. You've got your hits jacket on too. I know because it's bloody cold in here. I'm representing the hits, so this is good to know. The air-conditioning here, it's a bit chilly, so I do notice you wear the promotional jackets.

Have you claimed that now? Was that from the office? What is it? So, yeah, this is one of those ones that's supposed to be communal on the Officer Act, but I've semi-claimed it. Well, you should. You work at the Hits. You should get a jacket. Yeah.

You said it's coming. I don't know if it is. Yeah, well, hey, that's been today's Wild Wild Web. You have a wonderful day. We'll catch you tomorrow.
