The Shaking My Head Podcast

This week, Ollie, Rhoda and Ella sink straight into the warm, melty nostalgia of the hot, gooey middle‑school cookies that basically shaped our personalities. You know the ones — soft in the centre, edges barely holding themselves together, steam curling up in sugary little ribbons the moment you cracked them open.Join us as we relive the way those cookies glued our friend group together, how the cafeteria always smelled like warm chocolate at exactly 11:42 AM, and why nothing in adulthood — not artisan bakeries, not £4.50 café biscuits, not even our own ovens — has ever recreated that perfect soft‑melty‑slightly‑underbaked magic.They talk about a bunch of other stuff too.

With Rick O’Shea off doing whatever mysterious things he does when he’s not here, Ella is joined by Oliver Teller and Rhoda Story for an episode that immediately derails into the kind of historical chaos no one requested but everyone secretly enjoys.It’s jokes, stories, questionable facts, and history told the only way this podcast knows how: loud, chaotic, and wildly off‑topic.Perfect for listeners who love comedy, history, mythology, and the kind of tangents that make you forget what the original point was.#caligula #romanhistory #themonkees #ai #comedy #comedypodcast #podcastsfornerdsandcomedians #film #tv #music

In Mermaid Farts, we explore the ridiculous side of ocean mythology, questionable mermaid biology, and the chaotic sibling logic that turns a simple topic into a full comedic exploration of head shaking human hobbies.

Nerd alert. This week, we explore one of history’s strangest legends: Emperor Caligula’s “war” against the sea. Through humour and imaginative storytelling, we re-create this legend with our usual chaotic commentary and laughs.

This week, the siblings spiral into absolute nonsense — starting with a breakdown of one sibling’s latest stand‑up set and somehow ending up knee‑deep in conversations about animals, the feline element of surprise, and whether tree frog farts would actually sell. This episode is peak sibling energy: unfiltered, unserious, and weirdly educational in the worst possible way.Tree Frog Farts merch available in the near future. You heard it here first, folks.

Rick continues to get Ella's advice in preparation for comedy night. Will Motivational Quotes win as the 5 minute set of the night? Or will it be the incredible story of... the bump?Find out in this episode!

I Should Probably Keep My Pants On During This is an episode where questionable ideas, half‑baked jokes, and unfiltered sibling banter collide in real time.Ella helps Rick prepare for comedy nightWe test jokes, roast each other, overshare, spiral, recover, and then overshare again. Some stories are embarrassing. Some jokes are questionable. Some moments make us wonder if we should be supervised.If you’ve ever thought, “This is funny, but also… should I be hearing this?” — congratulations, you’ve found your people.

More of the last one. Comedy joke construction in action.

This week, the siblings go deeper into the strange art of joke‑building.One sibling brings the jokes. The other acts as the unofficial ethics committee. Together, they break down why some punchlines work, why others implode on impact, and how to navigate humour in a world where everyone has a different threshold.What counts as inappropriate? What actually lands as funny? What topics are fair game, and which ones are too sensitive to touch?Expect honest debate, accidental wisdom, and a few jokes that will never see the light of day again. It’s comedy dissected, deconstructed, and occasionally destroyed — all in the name of figuring out where the line really is.
