I SHAKE MY HEAD

Can the human spirit ever conquer the chaotic mess that is the taco, or should we all just give up and eat a burrito the size of our arm? Lisa wonders why she can’t love tacos like the rest of the world and instead faces a crisis over what end to bite and whether the taco is just out to intimidate her. Meanwhile, Samantha has zero patience for anyone who overthinks handheld foods and just wants her bestie to quit on tacos, at least. What does forced change mean when your hairdresser of 25 years hangs up her scissors? Lisa contemplates garage salons and purple rinse and may resort to learning how to cut her own hair with the help of YouTube and a little blind faith. Sam is caught between loving Halloween and yearning for Hallmark Christmas movies. Can she balance both? Is the fall wardrobe causing you existential dread? Lisa’s battle of burgundy sweaters vs. checkered pants will make even the staunchest fashionistas question their color wheels especially when Samantha threatens to bring leopard print boots into the mix. If you’ve ever lied to escape an awkward conversation, bought something useless because it was on sale, or obsessed over side plate “dieting” at a buffet, you’re in good company. Why do we all pretend we’re going to bed but instead huddle under the covers, scrolling Instagram while “done with you” is Canadian code for “I need alone time with cats and babies on TikTok”? Is phubbing the new national sport? Do we need a medal for ignoring each other in favor of phones, or is that just what adulthood feels like after 9pm? Come shake your head, laugh at life’s little catastrophes, and figure out how to eat tacos without a manual with I Shake My Head, the podcast where awkwardness is an art form, friendship is a sport, and nobody leaves the table without sauce on their shirt. Don’t just listen, join the chaos, laugh along, and remember: it’s just a taco... or is it?

Why do restaurants assume you don’t want dessert, are anti-dessert vibes real or all in your head? Is it rude to skip dessert, or should you start your meal with sweets just because you can? Have convenience fees and delivery charges for everyday things gotten out of control, and are we just paying for our impatience? Do you secretly judge people for their loofah-changing habits or, gasp, do you share your loofah? Have your knees ever ached just thinking about bending over to pick up a rogue pen cap, only to realize you'd rather strategically kick it under the couch? Are we too old to understand the VMAs or is it just that the George Michael tribute was that horrible. Why does Clay Aiken’s head look like the secret crossover between Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music and a slightly melty candle? What midlife Canadian hasn’t accidentally started shaking their head after dropping a pen lid and then thought, it can stay there until my cane phase? Is your sleep ruined without background noise, or can you pass out the minute your head hits the pillow like some annoying people? Can you get addicted to murder shows at bedtime and still call it “self-care?”  If you want raucous honesty and friendly roasts you’ll get episode after episode here at “I Shake My Head” with Lisa and Sam, where boring isn’t allowed, cheating at baseball is encouraged, and we’re all just holding on till dessert wins the day. If you’ve laughed, rolled your eyes, or just wondered about your own loofah lifespan, stick around; this is midlife, Saskatchewan-style, and things only get funnier from here.

Do you secretly identify as meatloaf or lasagna in your senior years? Is meatloaf the steady comfort we need as we age, or would you rather have the unpredictable layers of a lasagna? When did comfort foods become the ultimate metaphor for surviving the chaos of getting older? And why, for the love of pockets, do women’s pants still come with fake pockets? Are we supposed to just feel grateful we can fit a loonie somewhere and never have our phone on us at work? Why do men get 72 places for their keys while we can’t even stow emergency chocolate? Is it irresponsible to spend half a billion on a guy who hit less home runs than a squirrel at a backyard barbecue, or do we all deserve a Blue Jays contract based on what we did in 1997? And why do we never get a raise based on what we did last decade? Does that only work if you have a jersey and a PR crisis? Is it normal to be fixated on what happens to your ashes and if you should be in a book urn or disco ball? Can patience exist in a Tim Hortons line, or do you lose your filter after 56 years of playing nice? Does boy math not math, especially when men blame women for bad driving but can’t back it up with actual stats? Do you own good underwear, or are you basically just hoarding floral Fruit of the Looms until the elastic snaps at work and you contemplate freedom? Is paying $35 for a candle and then never lighting it peak Canadian frugality, or just the ultimate Midlife Woman Move? Join us on I Shake My Head with Lisa and Sam, where Lisa and Sam, your true north strong and hilariously opinionated hosts turn life’s everyday quirks, rants, and meatloaf metaphors into side-splitting, relatable chaos. Don’t just listen, jump in, laugh, and shake your head right along with us!

Is it even possible to become a cozy, matching-pajama-set “pot pie” woman if you hate peas... or do you just need to give up and embrace your tattered pajama empire? Why do chicken pot pies act like they’re pies when really, under that crust, it’s just a veggie ambush? Who decided it was okay for a sub to cost $19? Are we paying rent on that bread or what? And at what point during your Firehouse Subs experience do you realize the bun is doing all the heavy lifting? If you died in your worst underwear, would that be your legacy, or do we just hope the paramedics are too polite to judge our Fruit of the Loom situation and can someone start a GoFundMe for “emergency panties” just in case? Isn’t it a universal law that by 4:17pm in fall, you’re unavailable for all social events and have developed an allergy to leaving the house more than once a day? And who decided hibernation shouldn’t start as soon as the Halloween candy goes on sale at Shoppers? Is the baffling price of coffee pods making you consider Maxwell House as an act of rebellion? Can you relate to the existential dread of whether to wash your winter coat or are you on team “spot clean and hope for the best”? Dive into musings about girl dinners, fiber-laden late night snacks, aggressively un-cleared microwave clocks, and the subtle art of letting someone know without words that you really, truly, don’t like them. All this, and more, in another wild, quirky ride with Lisa and Sam where shaking your head is not just encouraged, it’s a way of life.

Why do married people suddenly feel the need to want the same thing for supper every night? Is supper really just a nightly team-building exercise, or has it become a make-work project no one signed up for? Can someone help me understand why using ChatGPT for a comedy show poster makes you the villain of Facebook, while using Canva is practically a charitable act? How is adding words to our own badly-lit selfie suddenly a threat to civilization! Why does everyone suddenly think they’re a protein expert? Does chewing Swedish Berries count toward your daily intake, or do doctors laugh you out of the room when you admit you thought Timbits had muscle-building powers? Can you build bone density with fuzzy peaches, or is protein just another word for “things that aren’t chips”? Are you prepping for fall by stocking up on cans of soup and searching for the perfect noisy fall coat or is sweater weather all you need to feel cozy? Will you be bingeing Hallmark movies under piles of blankets and is pumpkin pie strictly a one-day affair for you? If you could outsource one annoying everyday task for $5, would you pay someone to do your dishes or clip your fingernails? If you’ve ever wanted to laugh at yourself and your bestie’s tragic fall coat choices or rage against society’s supper rules and the tyranny of noisy winter coats, you belong with Lisa and Sam. Grab your plaid pants, bring the sarcasm, and come join the judgment. It's the messiest, most relatable middle-aged Canadian girl chat you’ll find this side of the Tim Hortons drive-thru.  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/ishakemyhead You can also find us on: Website www.ishakemyheadpod.com or https://www.womeninmedia.network  Twitter www.twitter.com/i_shakemyhead  Instagram www.instagram.com/ishakemyhead Facebook I shake my head with Lisa and Sam Tik Tok i_shakemyhead Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@ishakemyhead Grab some cool merchandise at https://ishakemyhead.threadless.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
