Quicksand, Ravioli & Irrational Fears

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

Wait, so ravioli is just a mysterious little carb envelope? Are we supposed to risk our dinner on a pasta pillow of uncertainty and just trust what's inside? Why can't lasagna just be the truth-teller of the pasta world and why is gnocchi allowed to be potato AND pasta, was one carb not enough? Why did Gen X get saddled with the myth of daily quicksand emergencies and stop, drop, and roll patriotism, seriously, did anyone actually encounter either outside a rerun of MacGyver? Is your irrational fear of snakes in the toilet, or are you more worried about falling down stairs? Should we be challenging each other to an Oreo-off or sticking to our summer V8 cleanse dreams if only for half a day before the Timbits call our name? Have you ever been personally offended by the size or placement of the sanitary disposal bin in a public washroom? Are “discreet” pee panties really discreet, or just a crinkly lie? Do younger people calling you “sweetie” or “hun” make your eye twitch? What's more Gen X, paying with cash or still doing Saturday chores before you can play?  Which is worse: sweaty boobs or sweaty balls? Would you ever eat steak tartare, and did you ever actually use algebra after high school? Why do trendy salads make us work harder than assembling IKEA furniture, shouldn’t Cobb mean you can just eat it, not build it? If you’re nodding along or rage-laughing in traffic, this is your tribe! Join us on I Shake My Head, with Lisa and Sam, where we try not to manifest snake attacks, survive crinkly pee panties, and serve up midlife mayhem extra spicy. This episode has all the energy of chunky onions, pool noodles, and enough carb-on-carb crime to make Nona shake her rolling pin! Grab your V8, friends, and come roll your eyes right along with us!
