Shouldn't Laugh But...Laura Smyth & Carmen Butcher

Laura and Carmen unpack the wild Katie Price husband drama, from internet sleuths and scammer theories to why the nation still can’t help but root for her.
They also get into Rihanna’s new scribble tattoo, whether she’ll ever make music again and why parents should never commit to fridge art too early.
Plus, Madonna’s surprise Grindr stunt, J.Lo and Brett Goldstein rumours, SATs chat, half-term chaos and Carmen’s deeply traumatic French exchange story.

Laura and Carmen dive into the chaos of nudist beaches, naked bike rides and the revelation that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jason Statham have bought a house near one of the UK’s best-known naturist spots.
Plus, the girls unpack a story from a fellow butthead involving a beach picnic and an uncooked sausage placed in a very unfortunate position.
There’s also a full double-date debrief after a night out with their Imindoors to see John Kearns, featuring accidental groupie behaviour, comedy crushes and one delayed message that arrives with absolutely no context.

Laura and Carmen unpack 16-year-old Venezuela Fury’s lavish Isle of Man wedding, Molly-Mae attending pregnant without Tommy and why people are annoyed with Peter Andre.
Laura also shares how she's been living like a DOGFLUENCER billionaire after heading to Goodwoof at the Goodwood Estate with her dog Betty for Sean Walsh and Jack Dee’s Oh My Dog! live show - complete with chauffeurs, champagne and celeb sightings, including Gemma Collins, Martin Clunes and Hugh Bonneville.
Plus, John Travolta’s dramatic new face, the rise of “boy bleph” surgery and the biggest issue with Netflix’s three-hour Kevin Hart roast.

Laura and Carmen are in absolute stitches over a listener story involving mysterious chocolates appearing on an office desk, a growing workplace fantasy and a misunderstanding that spirals far further than it ever should.
They also get stuck into a brilliantly awkward tale from Patagonia, where one listener’s very freeing walk in the wilderness takes a sudden unfortunate turn.
Plus, there’s chaos over mixed signals, public humiliation and two neighbours who unknowingly end up in the strangest long-distance friendship imaginable.
From office delusions to outdoor disasters, it’s another gloriously unfiltered episode packed with moments you really shouldn’t laugh at… but absolutely will.

NO ONE WILL TAKE OUR DRINKS AWAY! Laura and Carmen are fuming about Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary's proposal to limit passengers before their holidays! It's not what this great nation is built on. We LOVE sipping the nectar of our early-morning Wetherspoon's pint and the God-given right to get slightly too pissed before boarding.
Not only has that wound them up, but the pair also tackle the story of a German tourist who won £900 in compensation after repeatedly losing the 6AM sun lounger race on a family holiday - something they'd fight tooth an nail for.
Also Carmen has had the worst day imaginable - from exploding makeup, to tripping over a man's golf bag tripod on the tube and the shame of eating a yogurt in public. Laura on the other hand confesses to the time she opened a packet of prawns on the Northern Line and saw her own soul die in the eyes of two young women.
Plus, they dissect the study that says women need a night out every 22 days, and the important question: why does a McDonald's always let you know you've had a McDonald's?
