Lego Brandon!!! That's the type of thing I'm saying, when I want to express a feeling I think I'm trying to have, but don't really have the courage or belief in myself to see it through completely. And plus, I'm stupid and my breath stinks and I probably am not that good at wiping my butt so there's still some “crust” left behind in my shorts. Yeah, that's the kind of guy I am. I'm thinking…I'm that guy. On today's show we're raising a cup to Obama and asking him to protect us from the rise of the funnies. Plus it's that classic showdown of Porbeagle vs Oncle…Momondo, ladies and gentlemen! Momondo! Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

The St. John's Morning Show from CBC Radio Nfld. and Labrador (Highlights)
A close encounter with a shark drew residents of St. Lawrence to the shoreline. We talk to a DFO marine biologist about the animal's seemingly strange behaviour.
Marine Conservation can be a tricky business at times. This episode covers one of those tricky times and it has to do with the porbeagle shark. The porbeagle shark is a "mini-great white" that only feeds on fish. It's population on the east coast has dwindled to 10% of its initial population. The Canadian government has put them on the Species At Risk list to help protect them; however, the shark crosses the Canadian-US border where it is not protected and it is fished and allowed to be taken. Researchers in Canada are worried after they have seen an increased amount of social media posts with dead porbeagle sharks that were legally caught. What would you do in this predicament?

Underwater filmmaker Simon Spear presents a compelling portrait of the dire plight of Porbeagle Sharks off the coast of Great Britain in this award winning short film from the 2008 OurWorldUnderwater/Wetpixel/DivePhotoGuide Competition. Featuring rare underwater footage of Porbeagle sharks, "this film documents a ground breaking expedition off of the coast of Cornwall, UK to satellite tag this amazing shark for the first time in the NE Atlantic. In addition to achieving all of the scientific objectives, we also obtained the first ever comprehensive and good quality footage of free swimming Porbeagles." Simon further points out on his website, ViewFromTheBlue.me.uk, that Porbeagle Sharks are close relatives of the Great White Shark. And like so many shark species worldwide, commercial fishing has devastated Porbeagle populations, which are particularly vulnerable to overfishing due to their behavior of aggregating in large numbers in coastal waters.
