I SHAKE MY HEAD
Hosts Lisa Gibson and Samantha Sperling have been friends for more than twenty years. On their weekly podcast, they share their daily trials and tribulations navigating life as impatient, occasionally judgemental middle-aged white women. In their mid-fifties, they are proud to admit that they lost whatever social filters they once had years ago. Every week, they bring conversations to their digital studio that they probably shouldn’t share on the internet. They’ll explore how annoyed they are about aging while celebrating their quirks. But, be careful if you see them in line at Costco; they’re most definitely judging what’s in your cart, how you pay for it, and it might even come up on next week’s episode. Case and point, I SHAKE MY HEAD. Join Lisa and Sam for a weekly conversation without filters from a duo that has no trouble admitting they’re probably not politically correct. They invite you to join a collective of middle-aged women who have lots to complain about, but prefer to do it in good company!

Dancing With Tigers?!
Friday Sep 11, 2020
Friday Sep 11, 2020
We are feeling feisty tonight as we get down to recording. Lisa is making up phrases and words that make no sense and that's not new. She is convinced that she may have created a new word...she hasn't. The word cohort is top of mind for Lisa as she sifts through the daily news. This oddly segways us to talking about sports and play offs. Sam interjects with some info about her weekend and hanging out with her famjam which doesn't last long as Lisa starts harping about her beets again. There is no love from Lisa for Drew Barrymore and her daytime TV show. Give a girl a break! Kelly and Ryan are back in the studio with a weird green screen, Ellen is coming back September 21st and the ladies of the View are struggling with their looks as they premiere their show this week. Sam feels sympathy for Meghan McCain but Lisa is having none of that! We were doing so well with agreeing this week until we started talking about her! We move on to discussing Jessica Mulroney, cancelled food, fall coat and boots, Blizzard Treat Candle collection, Facebook Tuesday's, living la vida loca, something that everyone looks stupid doing, Jerry Lewis, The Rock, Celebs homeschooling, Derek Hough on DWTS and the Tiger Queen, 4th season of The Crown, drive-in theatre at Sandringham, Frogmore, Bonsai trees, maple vs pumpkin spice, the HHG, adding in new foods, toaster strudels, casseroles, lunch, dinner or supper, what's marzipan, autocorrect, Peacocks, season 2 of Jann and three TV shows you will watch till November. Courtesy of Nathan Peterson we tackle old game shows and Lisa realizes Bob Barker was everybody's sick day buddy! It's just a bit of ridiculous chatter but it might just make you laugh!If you love what you hear you can support the podcast by following the links below!Podbean: https://patron.podbean.com/ismheadPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/ishakemyheadYou can also find us on:Twitter www.twitter.com/i_shakemyheadInstagram www.instagram.com/ishakemyheadBuy our merchandise at www.ishakemyhead.threadless.comWe are proud to be a part of these networks: www.podfixnetwork.comwww.lowtreestudios.comScrunchies by Jocelyn @handmadebybrettjarry check it out on IG and DM for prices and shipping options.Check out her other IG account @justjoceyxe that is dedicated to her new passion as an aspiring fitness trainer who promotes positivity!

Am I Glamorous?
Friday Sep 04, 2020
Friday Sep 04, 2020
It's officially September and sweater weather but there is no need to turn on the heat Michael Gibson! That red dot on their thermostat is the bane of Lisa's existence. Lisa rants on the color of Jon Bon Jovi's hair. Apparently grey is not his color! We had a girl's night out on Friday and things got interesting as Lisa and the HHG bought drinks for random guys at the bar. We learned that we should have had fake bar names, who knew! Our waitress Hannah Montana was lovely and kept the ladies well stocked in happy hour wine! Tuesday's facebook was another good one with people divided on what 80's movie to ditch. Sam feels like St. Elmo's Fire was the winner! We talk about those who have passed Chadwick Boseman, Princess Diana and Michael Jackson. We offer our podcasting expertise to Meghan and Harry as they contemplate starting a podcast. How expensive is too expensive when it comes to engagement rings? Lisa asks the question, do we have glamorous Canadian stars. We realize, no we don't but that doesn't stop Lisa from claiming she could be glamorous. Sam bursts her bubble with many examples of why she isn't! The freight train of fun keeps rolling with mention of KFC, chicken skin, HHG, pumpkin pie ice cream sandwich, beet season, fall clothing, fall purse, Rebel Wilson, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, nursery school rhymes, florettes, grilled hotdogs, the Jays, donut beer, new TV, Lucky charms marshmallows, IKEA, Drew Barrymore on daytime TV, 770lb alligator, Keanu Reeves and Brad Pitt's married girlfriend. We debate fake eyelashes vs fake eyebrows which leads us to so many more things that can be too much!! You should still look like yourself after adding or subtracting from your body! Just sayin!

The Pampered Penguin
Friday Aug 28, 2020
Friday Aug 28, 2020
You know it's going to be a wild episode when we break into song, one minute in. With the dog days of summer coming to an end that means Sam can go to bed sooner, those are the rules! We speak fondly about Domino's pizza because it tastes like the picture looks! Our girl the Queen is sticking to Windsor Castle because of the COVID. We just want her to be safe! The Tuesday Facebook post was on fire and we thought for sure the waffles would be kicked to the curb but the cinnamon buns were the ones getting tossed out! Sam threatened to DFC on Mondays Facebook post cause she is not feeling the love! Salmonella is on the rise and frankly we have no clue what that means! Lisa has plum bum but wonders what happened to the corn. What's Freshie you ask well apparently Lisa knows all about it! The world is in an uproar because pumpkin spice is back and no one is ready for that! The conversation gets moving with Lisa speaking of her love of General Hospital, the Jays, 1000 Subways, Ragu, Campbells soup, Selena Gomez, Mary's Kitchen, Lemon Blueberry bread, Everything bagels, mini meat loaves, Rachel Roy, Tracey Ellis Ross, Electra and Viola, Lisa's life as a pampered penguin, parenting, sleepover kid, middle names, pumping your arm, egg salad, neck gaiters, Wilson Bickford, Truth or Dab, Bruce Springsteen and Blackberry phones are back! It's the listener's choice so we picked three fun topics from you guys! We learn Lisa is weird about toothbrushes and one of us recycles better than the other! It's just a bit of ridiculous chatter but it might just make you laugh!If you love what you hear you can support the podcast by following the links below!Podbean: https://patron.podbean.com/ismheadPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/ishakemyheadYou can also find us on:Twitter www.twitter.com/i_shakemyhead Instagram www.instagram.com/ishakemyheadBuy our merchandise at www.ishakemyhead.threadless.comWe are proud to be a part of these networks: www.podfixnetwork.com http://www.lowtreestudios.com

Gardener You Ain’t!

Friday Aug 21, 2020
When did the earth become hell? This is how Lisa starts off the podcast so you know it's gonna be a good one!! We aren't in Betty as John points out and that starts a fun game of let's air our dirty laundry! We think it's too hot here in Toon town but Death Valley is, well, deadly! Lisa is all wrapped up in the Democratic convention and she gets derailed by Sam's rendition of a Lover Boy song. Lisa schools Sam on the proper pronunciation of Kamala Harris's name and well franky Sam DFC'd! Her secret service name is somewhat original but the one Lisa's husband picked for her is so her! John tosses in his two cents on names for Lisa...here comes passive aggressive. A very large group of people in Toronto have to explain why they were in a strip club because someone tested positive for COVID. Sam wants to be a fly on the wall for those chats!! Sam admits to a new obsession of loving the popping sound from a good neck crack! The fun continues as we discuss at home shows, the Fat Sandwich, BBQ smoked squirrel sandwich, turkey dinner candy corn, Lisa loves Martha knows best on HGTV, Lisa is now a gardener, Sara Haines, Drew Barrymore, pancetta, rearranging cupboards, Blockbuster Airbnb, Elvis, Mama June, candy as a kid, Ding Dong lattes, drive-in haunted houses, crows, push vs pull, JT and jelly vs jam. Sam and Lisa play a game of kill, marry, one night stand. Some of our choices were obvious but also hilarious! It's just a bit of ridiculous chatter but it might just make you laugh!If you love what you hear you can support the podcast by following the links below!Podbean: https://patron.podbean.com/ismheadPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/ishakemyheadYou can also find us on:Twitter www.twitter.com/i_shakemyhead Instagram www.instagram.com/ishakemyheadBuy our merchandise at www.ishakemyhead.threadless.comWe are proud to be a part of these networks: www.podfixnetwork.com http://www.lowtreestudios.com

You Aren’t The Winner!

Friday Aug 14, 2020
What do weird voices, Domino's pizza and magical mushrooms add up to, recording day! Yup, we are eating pizza and talking about alternative pizza toppings involving magic mushrooms and marijuana! Lisa says she's never done drugs and Sam pleads the fifth! Sam has the suntanning blues and Lisa reveals the science behind our fantastic tans! Just call us the human sundials. Lisa can not contain her excitement over the choice of Biden's running mate Kamala Harris! The news whore is back in action! I can't think of one thing that gets Trump on Mt. Rushmore and neither can Lisa. Dream on! Keke Palmer is fishing for a new TV gig and reaches out via twitter. Harry Styles tops the charts and neither of us can recall a summer song. We old! On our way home from the lake Lisa got obsessed with finding food truck fries and then tells a lie as she wrongly claims the ultimate SkipBo championship which wasn't even a thing! We get chatting about Mom's baking, Kelly Ripa, Simon Cowell, Rachel Ray, fall decluttering, cutlery separator, new KD flavor, Disney, the world's most expensive mask, Levis, Robin Williams, RedDeer, WWE, snakes, the word slither, the Duggars, the Queen, Finding Freedom, Dr. Pimple Popper, what people resemble and your five year old self!

You’ll have to listen to find out! It's just a bit of ridiculous chatter but it might just make you laugh!

Five Days Too Many!
Friday Aug 07, 2020
Friday Aug 07, 2020
Listener alert! We are at the lake and had to go old school and recorded it directly to podbean. We are on day 4 of 5 days too many with each other and the cracks are beginning to show! It's been hot and sunny at the lake and we might be a bit fried from too much sun. I am really missing music and decent TV but all Lisa needs is her little Samsung. A recent lotto winner accepted his prize in a Darth Vader costume and I think that's brilliant idea! Lisa is making excuses for her Jays sucking and wants the fakefan back part-time. I'll think about it...no! She is wondering why a man would kayak in a swamp filled with alligators and I am questioning the reasons behind stealing a 40lb sex toy! It's all down hill from here as we talk about John Oliver's 'mask debate', Oprah, shaving, stress balls, the hole in the pasta ladle, fair food, clown motels, Penn and Teller, Sandra Bullock, Finding Freedom, laundromat fashion, Deli King of Clark, polish hotdog, bacon s'mores, the Merican election, avoiding arrests, Jada and Will, Rebel Wilson, Vanilla Ice, M&M popcorn, and is cereal a soup. The topic is our favorite funny women and we quickly realize there are so many it's hard to pick just three! Lisa actually only picked two because well that's Lisa for ya! It's just a bit of ridiculous chatter but it might just make you laugh!If you love what you hear you can support the podcast by following the links below!Podbean: https://patron.podbean.com/ismheadPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/ishakemyhead You can also find us on: Twitter www.twitter.com/i_shakemyhead Instagram www.instagram.com/ishakemyheadBuy our merchandise at www.ishakemyhead.threadless.comWe are proud to be a part of these networks: www.podfixnetwork.com http://www.lowtreestudios.com

Friday Jul 31, 2020
*Disclaimer** Our audio sounds a bit off due to some recording issues but we hope that doesn't deter you from listening to it.** Friends of the podcast this is such a great episode...I mean every episode is good right, but we are excited to bring to you the Dirty Hippie! Yes, she's back and as funny as ever!! Lisa and Sam first get a few things off our chests in regards to the upcoming lake trip. As usual we don't agree about when to leave and how long it should take to get there. Wish us luck! It's finally summer in Saskatoon and it's hot! Lisa asks pajamas on or pajamas off? Sam thinks that is too much information and Lisa makes an assumption. Her thoughts, naked is sticky! We talk about the late great Regis Philbin, Olivia De Havilland, signing up to be a donor, the Strahan, Sara and Keke show cancelled, new General Hospital episodes, HHG and the sleepover kids, slurpees, Fruit loop popsicles at 51, Martha Stewart's Martharita, snack and a drink and if 2020 was a drink what would it be. It's been too long since we have had this funny lady with us, it's the Dirty Hippie!! We get down and dirty right off the hop as she shares what Top n Tails' means and explains why we lovingly call her the Dirty Hippie. We shoot the shit and learn a lot of fun facts about each other. We laughed so hard our face hurt! We enjoyed our time with the Dirty Hippie. We hope you do too! If you love what you hear you can support the podcast by following the links below!

You’d Be Annoying!
Friday Jul 24, 2020
Friday Jul 24, 2020
We were really looking forward to singing but John spoiled it by feeling better! It's probably for the best because Lisa is always off key! Lisa quickly admits to being a cookie monster. It's a cookie for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Her husband has forgotten the diabetes and it's free willy with the bad food! Big night out last week with the HHG and one of us got a pretty good deal! Lisa is still obsessed with pigeons and the ways to get rid of them. Sam realizes during this conversation that Lisa would be the worst, most annoying pigeon! Lol We celebrate Alex Trebec's 80th birthday and the release of his new book. The Jays aren't allowed to play home games in Toronto and Lisa is concerned for her beloved birds. Sam suggests dancing robots to fill the seats during baseball games. Lisa wants nothing to do with that. Princess Eugene got married and wore one of the Queens vintage dresses. Awwww!! We get rolling with gossip about Nicki Minaj, JT and Jessica Biel, Chrissy Teigen, the BBQ, the Marks story, maskne, masks for sale, Kellogg's, kids dressing up, childhood ice cream, hammy hamster, Donnie Wahlberg, Disney, insect butter, new M&M, Avocado milk, toothpaste brands, unibrows, Freedom Island, Rob Lowe vs John Stamos, tik tok and sisterwives. Talking about the sisterwives has us discussing who's more complicated, men or women? Lisa has had enough of men and votes for them to be more complicated but like the true libra that Sam is, it's both for her! It's just a bit of ridiculous chatter but it might just make you laugh!

Secrets Second Cousin?
Friday Jul 17, 2020
Friday Jul 17, 2020
We needed space so we decided to record apart again....is that a secret or a lie? You won't find out unless you listen to the podcast. Sa. confesses that she needed a vacation from her vacation and Lisa finally admits she burnt her feet because she can't hide the fact they are peeling! Lisa tries to invent a new phrase but frankly it isn't working. Lisa asks if Sam is watching the Hallmark Christmas movies and she must confess, she is!! The Boom Baby bakery is carrying christmas cookies to join in the fun! Lisa is more interested in the wine the Hallmark channel is launching in support of their movies, of course. Will we hear about a wine drinking game in the near future? Sam got a kick out of John's FB post about choosing between these 3 dead guys and the McRib. Guess what Lisa picked? Jimmy Fallon is back in the studio and this somehow leads us to not talking about Merica. General Hospital is back writing new episodes which makes Sam question if this is a good idea? Lisa gets up in arms and insists never to question this decision. We were shocked to hear about Kelly Preston, Naya Rivera and Benjamin Presley. However, the Blue Jays are back, back again!! Lisa is predicting a good year for the birds! Jann Arden interviewed Anne Murray on her podcast and yes Lisa listened to it already! We are on a roll as we talk about Lisa not having food in the house, Happy Days, Disney World, the secret is the cousin of the lie, french fries, National Fry Day, DWTS, Live Aid, the Queen, hair supplies, the babysitter, Bill Nye, Mighty Site, Tiger tail Twinkies, cakes shaped as crocs and toilet paper, Demi Moore, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. We share a story from Barry Sr. and this prompts us to ponder what three things would we take if our house was on fire. Lisa isn't leaving without her Doulton and Sam don't leave anyone behind even if they are already ashes! It's a bit of ridiculous chatter but it might just make you laugh!

A Six Hour Tour?
Friday Jul 10, 2020
Friday Jul 10, 2020
We needed a car break from each other after a three hour trip turned into a six hour trip there and back! Sam reveals that she cooked all weekend and Lisa tries to convince her that it was to help her shine. Ya right!! Sam outs Lisa because she broke her tongue with her over use of fuzzy peaches! We argue about why we had to stop for DQ onion rings in North Battleford which has Lisa confessing that she was mildly hung over from the night before. Lisa's bacon prophecy came true and one of the girls is sick of bacon! Lisa wonders why people wake up cranky when it's a do over day, whatever the hell that means. As usual we missed out on a free food give away from Tims to celebrate Canada Day. Lisa gets thrown for a loop when she learns Kevin Spacey sat on the Queen's throne! Things start to go a bit awry when Lisa poses the same day panty question. We discuss Sam's choice of TV, Subway, peach dumplings, which cake goes, Sam's time to shine, just in case milk, Lisa's Bday, Kanye West, Ellen & Portia, Jay z and cheating, Amy Cooper, Whitney Way Thore, Big Brother, moist baked potatoes, everything should have pockets, face masks, Disney Plus and the age old question who really did let the dogs out!? Lisa and Sam share what we love most about amusement parks. Lisa goes for the games of chance and Sam can't get enough of the rides! It's a bit of ridiculous chatter but it might just make you laugh!
