Lone Shark Podcast

"We don't need no stinking guests!". Your pals Jim and Sean set a land speed record for number of F bombs dropped in a single podcast. Recorded on April Fools Day, the "holiday" is largely ignored in favor of racism and MLB hijinks with a special guest appearance by Wally Backman of the 1986 World Champion New York Mets.

Jim and Sean discuss Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos from the recent HBO documentary "The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley". Honorable mentions for Doctor Dre, Laurie Laughlin, and the King of Pop doing his best King of Poop impersonation. Also, "the Senator" Jerry Jer calls in to confirm some rumors and dispel some others.

It's St. Patrick's day on the Lone Shark Podcast and Jim honors the Irish by imbibing generously on....tequila?!?!? Local Connecticut comedy legend Johnny Rizzo checks in to talk about GG Allin, art, and tasting success. It's Ireland's favorite podcast, despite Jim's best efforts to convince them of the contrary.

When local Connecticut comic mainstay Pat Oates decides to talk some smack at your old pal Jim Sharky, Jim can't resist returning serve. Also, NFL miscreant Pacman Jones demonstrates why he has a rap sheet longer than R. Kelly.

Connecticut public access legend (and scourge) Jerry Jer aka the Tampon Man finally resurfaces to reminisce with Jim and Sean about the glory days of Connecticut public access television. Birthday boy and Beer Man Beer podcast co-host Jonny Benson makes an appearance to talk about testicle flavored beer. It's the podcast with balls.

Jim and Sean speak to the owner of Colorado's 1UP "barcade" chain. Jim gets to geek out and talk classic coin operated video games with Jonn "Exidy". Some cool behind the scenes talk about the classic arcade doc "King of Kong". Learn about why it's sometimes necessary to pistol whip a fella' when buying and selling arcade games. Also, Jim provides a post script on his meeting with Blazing Saddles' Burton Gilliam (and his creepy PR guy), and Sean gives us a double shot of meth.

Blazing Saddles turns 45 and Jim and Sean have a great chat with Burton Gilliam (Lyle from the Mel Brooks masterpiece). YouTube star Blippi shows us how he did the Harlem Shake before Blippi was Blippi. Jim and Sean get social media marketing advice from 15 year old Olivia, and Jim comes clean about a recent brush with the law. Also, Sean tells us about an ex girlfriend and her "H" problem (and no, it's not heroin). The maestros of minutiae are in rare form for this one....but you be the judge (we're biased).

Deputy Speaker for the Connecticut House of Representatives (yes, you read that correctly), the honorable Christopher Rosario, joins the podcast to wax nostalgic about his formative teen years spent watching The Lone Shark television show. Mr. Rosario provides an under-the-hood look at the political machinations in the State of Connecticut....and talks about potential casino gaming in Bridgeport, legal weed, and shows us why he would be an outstanding Mayor of the Park City. Of course there is the usual minutiae, including two fifty year old white guys talking about TLC (and NOT the cable channel), getting guns pulled on them, and the never ending Louis CK story (and why Michael Ian Black is in need of a good punch). It's your weekly fix of toxic masculinity. Que bueno!

A sober Jim and a shirtless Sean the Producer provide their Superbowl XLIII post-mortem in the usual Lone Shark Podcast fashion. Jim proves that he won't be working for NFL Films any time soon, and they learn that NFL music and porno soundtracks are pretty distinguishable from one another after all. There's fake news aplenty and glittery dog balls in this one, as well as a halftime boycott. Take that Adam Levine!

Jim is still coming down from his appearance on the Beer Man Beer podcast with Jonny Benson and Keg Kettles. Jim and Sean proceed to speak to the Rachel Olshan-Wilson of Electric Entertainment....easily the most accomplished crew member of the Lone Shark TV show from back in the day. They talk Black Mirror, Sean's autism, and the soon-to-be-released Lone Shark / public access TV show....coming this fall to the WB!
