  • I tried to like this…

    Sorry, I can’t handle how “extra”, opinionated and know it all one of the ladies is and the other just laughs. There’s really no substance for me, like I was expecting in this show. I’m unfollowing and won’t hear their reviews review! Just my opinion, we don’t have to agree.

  • Mildly entertaining for the friendless

    If I was at a party and these two were carrying on about sports, the weather and how much they like barbecued chicken, I’d excuse myself and look for someone else to talk to - someone funnier and with more wit, insight and individuality. In a nutshell, I was bored stupid.

  • My Commuter Company in the car!!

    I have been listening to I Shake My Head with Lisa & Sam for 3 years now. Initially, I tuned in to support a local gal but I was quickly hooked. The chemistry between Lisa & Sam is awesome! These ladies are hilarious, witty with the perfect amount of sarcasm. They are the perfect company on my commute to work, home and driving to my boyfriend's home 2 hours away. Thank you ladies for shaking your heads.
