The Shaking My Head Podcast

No One is Laughing. Guess You Had to be There.

Welcome to the comedy podcast where the jokes are fresh, the timing is questionable, and the most awkward moments are the ones we cherish. Ever told a joke so bad that even you didn’t laugh? Ever waved at someone who wasn’t waving at you? Ever said “you too” to a waiter who told you to enjoy your meal? Congratulations — you’re our target audience.
 
Each episode, we dive deep into life’s most uncomfortable moments — the ones so painfully silent they loop in your brain at 3 a.m. — and we ask the big question: Why is this funny? Is it timing? Is it relatability? Is it the human condition? Or is it the fact that someone else humiliated themselves more than you did this week?
From giggles to groans to full‑body psychological recoil, we break down what makes humour work… even when it doesn’t. Whether you love to laugh, love to cringe, or love to pretend you’re fine in public, this is the show that proves comedy isn’t always about the punchline — sometimes it’s about the panic that comes right before it.
 
 

Adam Driver in "The Janitor"

Each episode, we pick apart performances with the precision of film critics… and then immediately ruin that professionalism by giggling, chuckling, and spiralling into sibling nonsense. And these performances might be from our favourite actors, our less than favourite actors, or our fellow flawed humans. 
Expect dramatic reenactments, unnecessary analysis, accidental insights, and the kind of laughter that derails the entire recording. Whether you’re here for the artistry, the chaos, or just to hear two grown adults lose total composure  — you’re in the right place.
Grab a seat, buckle up, and let’s talk Driver.
 
And don't worry - we laugh at ourselves just as much as AT and WITH others.
