Pale Ankles & Salty Snacks: A Canadian Survival Guide

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

Is spring really a season, or just a mindset? Is it finally time to liberate your ankles from winter boots even if there’s 20 centimeters of snow on the way? Could baring your blindingly white limbs in April count as an act of optimism or just stubbornness? Are salty snacks like Hawkins Cheezies a Prairie rite of passage or just a regret-filled crunch? Do you believe anyone actually likes hickory sticks, or are we all just haunted by salty snack trauma? Is it mansplaining, sheplaining, or just a game of “who can repeat themselves the most times before someone explodes"? Why are TV commercials deafeningly loud, and should slide-in shoes really be a lifestyle goal? Who makes the best chili, and could being roommates with your best friend end in disaster? Ready to shake your head at merging lane cheaters, TV volume traps, the unfathomable number of fast food favorites, and why the only peace prize you’ll ever see is one you make yourself at the trophy shop? Grab some Hawkins Cheezies (regret included), join Lisa and Sam for tales of misadventure, awkward optimism, and the relentless pursuit of the world’s best pull-on pants.
