Manageable Meat, MTV Memories And Midlife Exhaustion

I SHAKE MY HEAD

About this episode

Is there really such a thing as "manageable meat," or is Lisa's quest for the perfect bacon just another midlife crusade? Do you find yourself lost between crispy and softly cooked bacon and wish there was a word for the glorious middle ground? Are you mourning the era when MTV closed out with “Video Killed the Radio Star,” while Gen Xers everywhere lament the days of surprise playlists and recorded VHS tapes? Are you tired of January stretching on for what feels like 100 days, and do you also need a timeout from midlife's endless complaints, like peach fuzz and eternally dry elbows? Are back pockets essential to your pants happiness, or do you fall for the fake-pocket trap? Does the audacity of men’s comments ever make you want to shake your head, or are you a professional at showing them the "sure" face? Would you take part in a class-action lawsuit against the McRib, or are you with Lisa in her undying love for that mysterious pressed meat? Is popcorn getting far too complicated with all those flavor shakers, or are you a butter purist at heart? Are you on the hunt for the perfect cookie like Lisa—or has Mr. Christie’s shrinking Oreos left you bitter? What movies do you love rewatching, and does “moistness” truly make or break your favorite cake? Tune in to this week's salty, sassy, and midlifey episode of I Shake My Head, where Lisa and Sam tackle the quirks of meaty dilemmas, midlife exhaustion, pop culture throwbacks, snack wars, and all the little moments that make you shake your head and laugh at life.
