I SHAKE MY HEAD

Lisa Gibson & Samantha Sperling

Get ready to laugh out loud with I Shake My Head, the weekly podcast where best friends Lisa Gibson and Samantha Sperling—partners in crime for over 20 years—take on life with zero filter.

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.

No, I'm The Boss!
Lisa asks, 'do you think we could work together in Santa's workshop'? Sam's response is no because she would end up doing all the work! This leads both to declare 'no I'm the boss'! However, Sam does have a solution; work in different areas of Santa's workshop. Perfect! Lisa is concerned about Sam's sheepdog bangs and has figured out why she is always late. Are you time blind? Should the airlines charge flyers for carry-on luggage and what's up with the sugar shortage? Do you fondue and can everyone get a support chicken? Can we all agree freshly washed pants are problematic. Should we really be smack talking about Dolly? Will Sam ever find those DQ coupons from 3 years ago? When you dislike something do you have the data to back it up? Is the best use of toilet paper putting it in the fridge? To tip or not to tip?
