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":"Slippery Stories, Boybands and Midlife Mayhem","slug":"slippery-stories-boybands-and-midlife-mayhem","published_at":"2026-03-06T14:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/i-shake-my-head-710542/slippery-stories-boybands-and-midlife-mayhem","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/SOMC8374726157.mp3?updated=1772773728","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/SOMC8374726157.mp3?updated=1772773728","summary":"Can you spot a professional \"ice walker\" in the parking lot simply by the fear in their shuffle? Have you ever narrated your own step-by-step parking lot journey only to realize you’ve become the star of your own nature documentary? What’s the boy band that had you crying at concerts—NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, or are you sticking with New Kids on the Block? Are we all just midlife women secretly regressing to preteen status because we skipped the baby phase? Is late-night water drinking causing you to wake up to a shooting sound from your plastic bottle, or just more trips to pee? Can scalloped potatoes really vibe with meatloaf, or is the TikTok crowd eating their sides all wrong? Are you brave enough to take the Pillsbury roll challenge, or are you worried it’s going to explode in your face? Have you ever wondered if Mahjong, Candy Crush, or that occasional Wordle streak is boosting your brain power—or simply making you a “dumber” midlifer? Did you stab your way through the headlines, or are you fact-checking Lisa’s questionable news stories? Are sins of the parents really impacting Beatrice and Eugene in the royal circuits? Tune in to “I Shake My Head” for a rollercoaster of hilarious midlife revelations, challenges, and just enough arguing to keep you shaking your head at every amusing moment! New episodes every Friday. Midlife judgments. Zero apologies. Lots of laughs.
