Description

Get ready to laugh out loud with I Shake My Head, the weekly podcast where best friends Lisa Gibson and Samantha Sperling—partners in crime for over 20 years—take on life with zero filter.


From midlife curveballs and Gen X throwbacks to hot takes on pop culture and the everyday nonsense most people keep to themselves, nothing is off-limits. Lisa and Sam turn real-life frustrations, random tangents, and “wait…what were we talking about?” moments into comedy gold.


With sharp wit, unfiltered honesty, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting, these two aren’t here to solve problems—they’re here to talk about them… loudly, passionately, and often without Googling first.


Whether they’re ranting, reminiscing, or completely going off the rails, their friendship is the heart of the show—and the reason you’ll feel like you’re right there in the conversation.


Tune in to I Shake My Head for laugh-out-loud, no-holds-barred chats that prove midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s just more material.

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.

Does whipped cream really have a season, or can it be enjoyed all year round? Is there a right way or a wrong way to do “girl lunch” and "girl dinner,” or are we just making up food rules for fun? Do leftovers have a 24-hour expiry, or are we living on the edge by keeping turkey for day two or is it time we admit we just toss them after pretending to care? Why does opening garbage bags have to be so hard, and will the struggle ever end? If you can’t decide which is worse, a trapeze artist with diarrhea or a new dating trend involving sweat and pee, are you even listening to this show? And when did social media become the Olympics of judgy comments about fridge lights, and can Lisa and Sam get a medal for “Most Judged Over Observational Comedy?” Come shake your head with Lisa and Sam on I Shake My Head where leftovers, whipped cream meet Gen X wisdom, relentless giggles, and the ultimate Canadian “sorry not sorry.” Pour yourself a boozy coffee with extra whipped cream, share in the ranting and weirdness, and let’s commiserate over the little things that make us laugh till we snort.

Is the fridge light the greatest mystery of modern times or just a conspiracy waiting to be cracked? Is it blind faith to trust the cold glow disappears or do we need hidden camera evidence and a magnifying glass à la Sherlock Holmes? Does your trust in “the lady” in your GPS run so deep you’d make a U-turn on a six-lane Toronto street because she told you to? Is Brad Pitt missing the point of porn, or is he just officially an old man?  Is the World Robot Games fascinating or kind of terrifying for the future of humanity? Are creeping vines on old buildings charming, or just disturbing invitations for bugs (and birds and mice)? Can you trust your Uber driver’s GPS, or do you deserve a discount for giving directions? Is it barbaric to drink cold pop out of a mug, or is a vessel just a vessel? Tune in for an episode packed with donut drama, retail rants, robot races, and the relentless quest to uncover whether your refrigerator is a liar. It’s all laughs, oddities, and just a pinch of chaos so, go ahead and shake your head at the world with Lisa and Sam.

Why do some people power-walk like they're in a marathon, while others prefer a leisurely, scenic saunter? Is life meant to be experienced at top speed, or should we take time to enjoy our surroundings especially if your walking partner’s 10 feet ahead and not looking back? Should junk food like Oreos ever be zero sugar, or is that just a cruel twist of fate for snack lovers? Do hotel breakfast buffets ever get it right, or does mystery ketchup in a communal bowl signal it’s time to order off the menu? Why do grocery shopping trips with your best friend turn into comedy gold and is $50 breakfast delivery a sign you’ve officially given up on adulting? Is it normal to develop a close, affirming relationship…with ChatGPT? Asking for a friend. Are we collectively shaking our heads at Clay Aiken’s facial expressions, kids’ backless shoes, or the latest jean trends demanding wide and loose legs? And, seriously are you fine, or are you FINE (fucking irritated, not explaining)?  Join in for sassy debates, food adventures, and a healthy dose of head shaking at all of life’s wonderfully absurd moments!
