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":"Public Scratching, Weather  Woes and Heated Debates","slug":"public-scratching-weather-woes-and-heated-debates","published_at":"2025-12-26T14:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/i-shake-my-head-710542/public-scratching-weather-woes-and-heated-debates","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/SOMC3107618256.mp3?updated=1766550387","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/SOMC3107618256.mp3?updated=1766550387","summary":"Should you scratch an itch in public, or are you with Lisa and Samantha in championing the “cross your legs and pray” maneuver? Are warning colors like Code Yellow and Code Orange making winter more dramatic than necessary, or would you rather just call it “cold” and move on? There are several heated discussions around breakfast stipulations, pizza toppings and the kiss cam fiasco. How does one survive the emotional minefield of appliance gifts, and can a birdhouse ever say “I love you”? Is Hickory Farms the unsung holiday hero, or a box of warm cheese better left in the mall kiosk? Is zen really achievable if you can’t sit still for five seconds, or is it just code for nap time? Did a one-word review calling an episode “stupid” just perfectly sum up the anti-stress, anti-serious, hilariously judgmental vibe Lisa and Samantha serve up each week? Tune in to I Shake My Head for snarky friendship, relatable food fights, pop culture hot takes, and their take on life’s everyday stupid moments!
