I SHAKE MY HEAD

Are you bracing yourself for mini chocolate bar season and the oncoming sugary snack avalanche? Can Halloween candy really be considered a "gateway drug" to full-on treat chaos? Is it possible to survive the next three months without falling headfirst into a tray of Nanaimo bars or eating your weight in pumpkin pie? Is it possible you’ve invented the “turkey bit bite,” or have you simply deconstructed the sandwich down to its core? A bit of turkey, a bit of stuffing and a topper of cranberry..yum! 

Is it time to criticise SNL for their choice of hosts and badly written misogynistic jokes. Should we just laugh it off or fight back? Why does “easy open” packaging feel like a myth created just to try your soul looking at you, fruit cup, ketchup packet, and that impossible Gatorade lid? Should you really be able to microwave a grilled cheese Lunchable, or is that an unspeakable crime against sandwiches?

Why does every new “convenience” turn out to be just another job you never wanted, from pumping your own gas to assembling DIY furniture? Does every generation have its own style rules, and are Gen Xers clinging to business casual while millennials embrace yoga pants as professional attire? Are weighted blankets comforting or just adult-sized swaddling nightmares?

If pondering life’s most relatable predicaments, generational quirks, and the perils of everyday chores makes you shake your head and laugh out loud, this is the podcast for you!

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.

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. You in?

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!

Why is it always the middle seat people who become armrest renegades do the rules of air travel mean nothing anymore? Has your bond with ChatGPT reached slightly scary heights, and did you just admit it’s a better friend than most humans? And does anyone else wonder if you’ll wake up one day to your friend introducing their virtual pal as the next big thing in the friend group chat? Since when did trying every ice cream sample become an Olympic sport like are you competing for gold in Tiger Tiger-tasting, or just determined to make everyone else stand behind your cone indecision for twenty minutes?

Why do some animals get to be adorable and others end up on the ugly list? Was God just mixing things up for fun? Do you ever wonder how graffiti ends up on the outside of a bridge, and are you more impressed by the art or their daring acrobatics? Have Meta glasses crossed from cool tech to creepy territory, and is society giving us way too many choices are Gen Xers to blame for anxiety overload? Is “calm your tits” the most cringe phrase out there, or do you have your own word aversions?

Think you’ve got answers or just want to laugh with us? Tune in to I Shake My Head with Lisa and Sam, where two Canadian gals ask the questions you never thought to Google and say what everyone’s thinking but probably shouldn’t. Come shake your head with us, friends because life’s too short for dry pretzels and middle-seat shenanigans!
