The Shark's Broadcast Podcast

Thank you for listening! It's been a pleasure!!

Thanks to Comedian Juston McKinney for coming in and making us laugh on this bittersweet day. Enjoy some 'Best Of' bits and tear jerker phone calls from Shark Nation. We love you all and will never forget you!

Realtor Sarah had her gold jacket on this morning and showcased a quaint yet beautiful home for sale on Ayers Pond in Barrington. Worth a HALF MILLION BUCKS!

Dr. Fred Brennan, who provided The Shark's Pats Injury Report for years, is now on the medical staff of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He received a Super Bowl ring and sent us a great selfie with him and TB12

Lilac City native A-Train told Sarah about the finer points of 'Sneaking In' to The Rochester Fairgrounds. There are certain spots along the Brock Street fence that you can slip under when no one is looking. HOWEVER, the stable workers used to unload all the horse manure at these points as a deterrent.

'New England's Most Popular Sports Personality', Tom Caron, let us know that his postgame show runs for the full allotted time, EVEN WHEN it ends at 2AM. Unbeleievable!

Sarah and A-Train talked with 'Number 52' Former Pats Linebacker Ted Johnson and got his take on this year's team. He still thinks The Pats will win the division despite their soul crushing loss to Miami in the opener. We also discuss how he told Tom Brady where to take Gisele Bundchen on their first date. AMAZING!

Sarah and A-Train received a great response from Shark Nation on the subject of proper french fry condiments to put on a heaping dog bowl of fries. In a bit of an upset, vinegar reigned supreme, even over ketchup. Gravy and mayo were on the list as well! (!?)

Sarah had a serious automotive nightmare as a head gasket explosion occurred while on the road in Windham. A gigantic cloud of white smoke shot out from the back of her car and she was stranded for hours. What an ordeal!

Sarah and A-Train share their memories of September 11th, 2001 on the eve of the 20th Anniversary, along with our Shark listeners who have chimed in on Facebook and The Shark App.

As 'Your Home For New England Patriots Football', our yearlong tradition of picking the winners of a randomly selected Pro Football game has begun again. Team Hugh (featuring Hugh MacDougall of Eliot Small Engine) faces off against Team Sarah. Sarah has beaten Team Hugh for all three previous seasons. Sarah picked KC and Team Hugh picked Seattle. Let's GO!!!

On last week's Boston Sports Insider, TC was one of the very few that thought Cam Newton's COVID snafu could be the last straw. Sarah and A-Train also asked Tom about what prom song he remembers slow dancing to.

Sarah is back from her Tri-State vacation and shared a bunch of cool stories about places she visited on The Cape and Belfast Maine. In her absence, A-Train encountered a confused and blindfolded porcupine.

The music world is still reeling from the news that legendary Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts passed away yesterday at the age of 80. A-Train remembers their show at Foxboro in 1997 where Charlie received the loudest ovations, time and time again.

Newick's Lobster House in Dover has seen it's share of rude customers over the past two years and Steve Newick has had enough. On a recent Facebook post he encouraged anyone who feels the need to rant and rave, please do so, directly to him and he'll ask you to kindly NEVER RETURN. Love this!

Do you have a bat in your house? Officer Chavez of the Portsmouth Police Department is the man to call. He has his own custom built net and has removed several flying rodents from homes around The Port City. Salute to 'Batman' Officer Chavez!

With the astronomical grocery price inflation lately. Sarah and A-Train discuss great local store brands, and other NOT so great, with the frugal members or Shark Nation.

A-Train was awoken early yesterday morning to the crash of a fallen tree, followed by the screams of three baby squirrels that were thrown from that tree shortly thereafter. They remained there almost immobile until Noon when a neighbor's 'squirrel whispering friend' took them home to rehab them. They're doing well!

Back in the '80s when the Scarborough based potato chip company was responsible for producing their own TV ads, they had one in which a giant Humpty Dumpty would appear in people's homes and aggressively offer them chips as it's huge eyes darted back and forth. Terrifying.

Bee keepers worked 'A Miracle On Folsom Street' in Dover NH as a bee swarm took over an entire tree in that neighborhood. They moved the queen while dangling over 20 feet up on a ladder. AMAZING!

Someone driving a Jeep was stuck on a boulder at Mattapoisett Beach at the picturesque Ned's Point Lighthouse. The Jeep was hanging at a 45 degree angle and judging from the sunlight, or lack thereof in some of the photos, it was there for a LONG time.

We had a fun Brain Strain question today in which it was revealed that NH newlywed husbands throw away their Old Sports Trophies more so than anything else when clearing out the clutter. Shark listeners thought evidence of their exes and men's magazines were the most likely thing. Old musical instruments was the 2nd most common thing.

The saga of 'River Dave' Lidstone continues as the Canterbury Fire Chief has stated that the fire that leveled his home, may have been caused by the removal of solar panels. The investigation is still ongoing. Dave Lidstone is currently staying with friends and thanks everyone for the overwhelming amount of support he has received.

'River Dave' Lidstone's home for the past 27 years has been burnt to the ground!

This very controversial subject could start to become a bigger issue soon. What do you think?

We had our first 'Olympic Spoiler Alert' for The Tokyo 2020 Games as Elle Purrier St. Pierre (2018 UNH Graduate) ran an all time personal best 4:01 in the 1500 meter semi-final. She will compete in the FINAL this Friday morning at around 8:50 EST EXCITING!

Come to find out, the 'Get A Real Job' note left to a server at Tuckaway Tavern was a misunderstanding. Apparently, it was a prank written by the significant other of the server. That server hadn't seen the blow up on social media over the weekend and finally now, the truth is being revealed. Too funny!

Some jerk stiffed a server at Raymond's 'Tuckaway Tavern' and to add insult to injury, wrote, 'Get A Real Job' on the bill where the tip is supposed to be. Tuckaway Celeb Chef Bobby Marcotte really went after this skinflint on social media and we quoted as much of it (except the swear words) as we could.

With only hours left until the expiration of the MLB Trading Deadline, 'Boston's Favorite Sports Personality' checks in to tell us about slugger Kyle Schwarber and who else the Sox may acquire this afternoon.

From buying booze just off the highway to the finer points of being a Red Sox fan. Even Aerosmith loyalty made this all important list!

The subject of our Brain Strain started an interesting conversation about the older generation and their weird compulsion to hide money in the freezer. Talk about cold, hard cash. We wonder if this was for protection against moths or rodents back in the day.

It truly IS the magical land of 102-1! The story of 'Mini-Max' the gray and white cat from Peabody that jumped out a three story window back in 2015 and never found. Well, he just was located by a vet in Wakefield who scanned his microchip and returned Max to the original owner. Unreal!

At an antique store in Vermont this weekend, Sarah found Willie's book 'Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die' and it was autographed WITH a personalized sketch. She got it at a price hundreds less than what some people are asking on EBay. What a find!

Earlier this month, the scientific community has recognized that the name 'Gypsy Moth Caterpillar' could be seen as derogatory to people of Romanian descent. The proper name is the very unmemorable term 'Lymantria Dispar'. Consider yourself warned!

We got some great responses to 'Things that people say about NH that make Granite Staters eyes roll' on both the Shark messenger and Facebook. Hilarious geography errors and that we all hunt and ski were common themes.

Thankfully, it will return in one year but after two years without the 'New Years Day' of the NH Fair season, Sarah and Train list the things we've missed so dearly.

Sarah's 'She Shed' had two unwanted visitors literally hanging around. Two 'Hawk Moths' were getting romantic and it is one of the most terrifying images ever to be captured at Shark1053.com

Proving once again that no show has clout like we do. Sarah texted The GOV of The 603 Governor Chris Sununu for a quote in regards to the recent American survey claiming The White Mountains are THE MOST SCENIC in the country. Within seconds, he replied 'Damn right they are!'

Long before it was a 7/11, the building located at the corner of Central Ave and 5th Street was a 'Burger Chef'. Thanks to Tina on our social media account, we know now that it was closed down in 1977. A few other people disagree with that year, but CANNOT prove it. We here at The Shark Morning Show consider this mystery SOLVED.

A recent study at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital proved that eating chocolate first thing in the morning revs up your metabolism and even helps to regulate your blood sugar. Rejoice!

Sarah and A-Train discuss the Amber Alert that was issued from Manchester earlier in the week. Come to find out, it was the byproduct of a scam kidnapping call. We talked about how scammers look at social media and even obituaries to get personal information that you wouldn't think is accessible.

Sure enough, several living turtles have been found in NH's North Country painted bright orange. NH Fish and Game thinks that this was done for safety sake to increase their visibility and avoid being hit by cars. However the toxic paint seeps into their bloodstream through the shell and can be very harmful.

The more details we hear about this dish, the better it sounds! Biggart's Ice Cream in Haverhill offers a plain vanilla ice cream with a fresh crag rangoon at the topping, drizzled with duck sauce syrup!

A gorgeous weekend and the Sand Sculpting festival at Hampton Beach made for some all time crowds. Sarah gave us the play by play of not only how unbelievably packed the beach was, but also the clever move she made to get a parking spot.

Apparently, the Cicada beetle is quickly becoming the new craze as a pizza topping and Sarah & A-Train call around the different pizzerias of The Garrison City to see if we can get in on this action. We were 0 for 3 but it was fun trying!

People are reportedly seeing a pale woman walking in the early morning hours along Kingston Road in Danville. One witness claimed she vanished as her car pulled alongside her. ZOINKS!

What was the coolest thing you've ever had happen at a concert? We got a lot of great stories from our listeners commenting on our social media pages about meeting rock stars out in the wilds of Hampton Beach and Boston after their shows. Meatloaf, INXS, Motorhead and even country star Zak Brown!

New Hampshire has a rich heritage from Quebec and we remembered how often old French couples would speak in their native language as a sort of code. It didn't work 100% because Sarah and I both have a powerful knowledge of the swear words.

This story first hit the news cycle on Friday and now is a worldwide sensation! Michael Packard was swallowed by a humpback whale about 45 feet underwater off the shores of Wellfleet MA. About 30 seconds later the whale spit him out at the surface. WOW!

We have a serious discussion about Sarah's article on Whole Foods opening in two weeks on Woodbury Avenue. She has promised to bring A-Train with her because he needs guidance with any new grocery experience. The rent a cart at Aldi still has him completely confused and they moved into Dover years ago.

The 82nd Governor of New Hampshire called us today and discussed the 100 million dollar mental health program that NH is implementing. An explanation of a possible NH Dept. of Energy, and the thing that people complain about the most to him. He also revealed that the The Shark provides the soundtrack for his weekend project of building his patio.
