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.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-04T00:20:53.276530+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/i-shake-my-head-710542"},"episode":{"title":"Kegels, Food Fails & Gen X Memories","slug":"kegels-food-fails-gen-x-memories","published_at":"2026-03-20T14:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/i-shake-my-head-710542/kegels-food-fails-gen-x-memories","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/i-shake-my-head-710542","url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/p.podderapp.com/8355482824/pscrb.fm/rss/p/prfx.byspotify.com/e/traffic.megaphone.fm/SOMC9371146991.mp3?updated=1773895965","audio_url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/p.podderapp.com/8355482824/pscrb.fm/rss/p/prfx.byspotify.com/e/traffic.megaphone.fm/SOMC9371146991.mp3?updated=1773895965","summary":"Is the sound of melting snow outside your office the Pavlovian bathroom trigger you never saw coming? Have you ever found yourself contemplating whether Kegels are a bladder workout, a ticket to youthful glory, or is the secret to conquering midlife just to “Kegel it away”. Is Firehouse Subs worth all the hype, or is Samantha still stuck on its sweet bread? Have you ever bought no-name fruit cups only to regret your thrifty choices like Lisa? Are school zones and speed limits a baffling concept because as a Gen Xer, didn’t we all just walk ourselves to kindergarten and hope for the best? Do you miss the days when counting back change was a basic life skill instead of a lost art? Who would narrate your life, Morgan Freeman, Alanis Morrissette, or a hilariously foul-mouthed female comedian? Do you suffer through silent moments, or do you talk nonstop like Lisa because silence is just too awkward? Tune in to I Shake My Head for relatable chaos, snack debates, and every Gen X memory you didn’t know you had plus the countdown to the 500th episode!
