Brunch Board Brilliance

Struggling to find your brunch board brilliance? Are croissants the touch of class your brunch board is missing? Has expensive ice cream prices signalled divine intervention in your dessert choices? Do Crocs and UGGs deserve a space in anyone’s wardrobe, or are they just a fashion faux pas waiting to happen? Instructions needed or just getting in the way? Are you finding yourself highly skilled at hoarding items for a yard sale? If the younger generation calls you "hon" or "sweetie"s is it endearing? Are paper straws really the eco-warrior's choice, or are we sipping through a misguided invention? Can you learn about the U.S. presidential election process through Tik Tok, Sam did! Will the federal employees’ partial return to office be a renaissance for downtowns or a logistical headache? Tune into "I Shake My Head" for a rollercoaster of opinions, nostalgia, and those peculiar moments of clarity. Join the conversation, have a laugh, and maybe even shout out your own thoughts on their latest antics! If you love what you hear you can support the podcast by following the links below!
