Advent Angst, Retail Rants and Mediocre Meals

from I SHAKE MY HEAD · host Lisa Gibson & Samantha Sperling

Are Advent calendars actually a gateway to disappointment, or are they a legitimate excuse to eat twenty-four chocolates in one go and call it "practice"? Do you shop at messy stores and secretly judge everyone’s plaid pajama bottoms and slippers out in public? Is mediocre restaurant food ruining your World Series viewing parties, and should coffee ever cost more than a pancake? Has your life ever been ruined by a slippy black sock before 8am? Do you have an anti-bucket list like Lisa where you just put on all the items you don’t already like or want to do? Need a ruling on oven tray orientation: sideways, longways, or “whatever mood strikes”? When is the right time to put up your Christmas tree? Is it after November 11th or whenever “Hallmark season” kicks off? Are you Team Pixie or Team Bixie when it comes to trendy haircuts? Would you ever let your best friend convince you to match hairstyles? Are skinny little dog legs being neglected in winter, and is it finally time for canine snow pants?  From coping with unwanted encounters in the drugstore, to the drama of royal titles, to pancake topping controversies and pudding flavors that spark outrage, is it all making you shake your head? Tune in to “I Shake My Head” for laughs, pet peeves, debates, and a reminder that sometimes you just have to DIY your own Advent calendar and keep shaking your head at the world’s quirks!
