I SHAKE MY HEAD episodes

  • Washroom Woes, GenX Snacks and Signs From Above

    Did you ever buy a childhood snack like Wagon Wheels only to discover they’ve shrunken and taste like waxy disappointment? Can you ever trust a bathroom shared with strangers after spotting mystery wipes and questionable hygiene practices? Is there a universal bathroom etiquette code, or are women secretly the worst offenders? Are you skeptical about messages from God and wondering if the universe has better things to say? Lisa gets direct email advice from the divine (and is clearly stuck on the D list), while Sam basks in the encouragement of “the universe.” Would you ever wear a silk bonnet to bed, and does freshly washed laundry feel as magical as they say? Does AI finally cross the line from “helpful” to “creepy” when it starts moonlighting as Suzanne Somers? Should you put toilet paper in the fridge, or is that one life hack too far? How do Gen Z and Gen Alpha communicate are GIFs now cringy, and does doubling down on sending them make us true rebels? Plus, can ten sit-ups a day transform your muffin top, or is goal-setting just a loophole waiting to happen?

    Tune in for another laugh-out-loud episode with Lisa and Sam and remember, the only thing you should take seriously is the urge to shake your head at the quirks of everyday life!

  • Bush Thongs to Breastfeeding: We Got Questions

    Does news of thong underwear with a faux bush make you want to start a game show called “Grow That Bush!”? Would you too question breastfeeding a nine-year-old or do you just throw your hands up and back away beep-beep-beep style? Would you be willing to pay $12,000 for a Jays World Series ticket, and do you think real fans are being squeezed out by sky-high prices? Have you ever negotiated with your partner for chocolate milk provided there’s enough Quik in it? Is Lisa failing at being an adult or is it just that being a grown-up is overrated? Are you still traumatized by 70s haircuts and is it time to stock pile candles for hibernation season like a squirrel prepping for the apocalypse. Tune in for a parade of weird, wonderful, and “WTF?” moments, from Louvre heists on Vespas to Bradley Cooper slowly morphing into Barry Manilow? 

    As always, Lisa and Sam are here to shake their heads, bare their souls, and keep you laughing—even if you have to binge every episode from beneath a blanket fort, snacks in hand, candles ablaze, and maybe, just maybe, with some whipped cream straight from the can.

  • Katy Perry, Justin Trudeau and Other Modern Disasters

    Are we shocked at the possibility of Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s yacht-side romance, or did you just wonder why JT was wearing blue jeans with no shirt? Are granola bars really the jazzed-up adult snack we deserve or just donuts hiding in oat-based disguises? Would you grant amnesty to an injured maple bug or reach for the vacuum? Do dogs secretly resent their winter jackets (and maybe their owners) while parading around in toques? Is Diane Keaton’s peaceful “peak” on TikTok the closure we needed? Should food labels come with a “tastes like” warning, just like weather apps’ “feels like”? Is “Is it cake?” Netflix shows an example of amazing artistry or just wasted cake? And are hardwood floors just an elaborate plot to make us question our every crumb-dropping move? Is your personality monochronic or polychronic and could this explain why Sam is always late for breakfast (and unapologetic about it)?

    Join Lisa and Samantha for tales of pumpkin overload, weird potato chip salad recipes from the internet, and questionable dog costumes. Tune in for all the laughs, the lowdown on breakfast spots, fantasy football updates, and the important reminder to keep shaking your head at the gloriously ridiculous moments of everyday life!

  • Pumpkin Spice, Oven Mitts and Other Fall Confusions

    Is pumpkin spice actually a flavor, or did it just launch a seasonal cult complete with emotional support lattes and invisible scarves? Does the humble oven mitt deserve your trust, especially if it comes from the dollar store, or are you a tea-towel renegade with Gen X trust issues? Is it better to serve Thanksgiving dinner on fancy china, or are Tupperware and Corelle the new tradition? Would you survive on Lisa’s “oatmeal diet,” or are you still haunted by her infamous watermelon and coleslaw kicks? Do Taylor Swift’s lyrics have parents panicking over swearing and sass, or is everyone just along for her adult ride? Is hot honey Lisa’s secret shame, or proof that allergies are all about the vibe? Should a 29-year-old dating a 20-year-old raise eyebrows, or are age gaps just a number? The rapture was a no-go again which has us thinking could we be on the D-list for the Rapture bus?

    Tune in for rants, raves, raging against pumpkin spice, and that daily dose of “are you KIDDING me?” moments because life’s too short not to laugh at yourself and each other.

  • Adult Soothers, Fruit Cups and Gen X Drama

    Remember the good old Gen X days with fruit cups and metal tins? Samantha admits to licking the fruit cup tin lids, while Lisa claims she was strictly warned by her mom not to. Did your mom have lid-licking rules? Are adult soothers too much, or the next weird wellness trend? Are you traumatized by childhood school photo days, forced smiles, gauchos, and matching turtlenecks? Have you ever tried to conquer a wrap with a plastic knife only to wonder: should this have been a salad? Do you fail your eye exam, or is it just a test you can’t win? Does the mere mention of cross-country skiing send you spiraling into traumatic flashbacks of high school PE, where the only thing colder than the snow was your enthusiasm? What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail—rob a bank, star on Broadway, or just manage not to spill your fruit cup? Lisa would go full Mission Impossible on a jewelry heist (“because, why not?”), while Samantha dreams of Broadway stardom, jazz hands and all. What’s your “can’t fail” fantasy?

    Dive in with Lisa and Samantha for nostalgic stories, food fails, questionable life hacks, and all the midlife laughs, are you ready to keep shaking your head at life’s little (and big) absurdities?

  • Trump, Chicken Wings and Signature Outfits

    Is it finally time for Lisa and Samantha to get their own signature outfits? Are matching tracksuits truly the height of iconic duos, or just Lisa’s latest scheme to glitter and glow? That’s a hard no from Sam! Are you team chicken wing flats or drums, and why can't restaurants just let you choose? Is America really losing its mind, with Trumps political antics and wild claims of Tylenol causing autism? Are seasonal communication habits, like ending all your texts with a Halloween "muahaha," a cute idea or just another reason for Lisa to shake her head? Can a doctor's visit ruin your day because you only have ugly underwear left in the drawer? Did you fall for the latest social media Rapture rumor and why do restaurant renovations always stop at the bathroom door? Can you relate to the existential crisis that hits when Costco has Halloween and Christmas decor out at the same time? What on earth is going on with Gen Z lingo like "sendy," and why are random numbers causing outbursts in fast food lines?

    Tune in as Lisa and Samantha debate, commiserate, and share plenty of laughs about aging, fashion disasters, food fails, the perils of American politics, and the eternal struggle of whether or not to wear matching tracksuits. Keep shaking your head and join the fun on "I Shake My Head with Lisa and Sam"!

  • Sneezing: The Orgasmic Imposter

    Why does Lisa have to take her glasses off every time she sneezes? Is eight sneezes in a row a superpower or a family curse? Can sneezing be likened to an orgasm? Is it really possible to be an "unagitated agitator" or is Lisa just redefining what it means to push buttons? Are you using your shower curtain wrong and does your bathroom have more rods than a department store? Do men ever really take losing a game well, or do the excuses just multiply with the cards? Should a hash brown baked potato be considered the ultimate girl dinner? Are TikTok recipe videos secretly catfishing us with their fake crunch sounds? Would joining a cornhole league with Lisa bring the duo closer, or just spark a whole new set of issues? From mustache trends and jean shopping dilemmas to soothing TV habits and whether you should trust a pet psychic, Lisa and Samantha tackle life’s oddities and irritations with unstoppable banter. Tune in for a wild ride through sneezing fits, competitive game night and fake recipe crunches. It's another week of laughs, disagreements, and candid confessions that’ll have you shaking your head and coming back for more!

  • Best Before Dates: The Ultimate Food Conspiracy

  • Tarot Card Warnings: You're Screwed

    Are online tarot readings just a money grab, or is Lisa truly doomed after pulling the Fool, the devil, and the Tower of Destruction? Will the "dark times" readings make Lisa paranoid or will she just roll her eyes? Can you actually fail an eye exam, or should you just trust the process? Are chair aerobics the pinnacle of fitness and if sitting was an exercise would Lisa take home the gold medal? Is Sam secretly a 70's housewife, obsessed with game shows? Is meatloaf the official dish of fall? Is it "pumpkin spice" season or is it time for apples to take over? Are Lisa and Sam haunted by slush puppy flavor trauma? Maybe? Did your childhood back to school ritual involve sweating in corduroy or selecting the perfect pencil case?
