This week, Laura and Carmen are feeling the ‘full moon vibes’ because there are too many FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHTS! happening. Laura is locked into the Cardi B and Eminem drama, and Carmen’s obsessed with Joe Wicks and his hate for protein bars.

They also discuss their “Shouldn’t Fancy But” crushes because a listener has written in with a list of hilarious characters she thinks are hot - The Cape in Doctor Strange?!

“It’s me. Hi. I’m the problem-it’s me!”

Laura’s into raccoons, Carmen’s into beasts, and she genuinely thinks squirrels and chipmunks are the same thing. Classic Carms. Expect more highbrow chaos like this, plus a ‘Shouldn’t Laugh But’ story from an incredible listener in Australia, featuring the night bus… and an alleyway accident.

Laura and Carmen think gender reveals are an unnecessary expense - and they’re blaming push presents, balloon arches, and smoke cannons on the Kardashians.

Plus, they also discuss the Netflix documentary everyone’s talking about, Unknown Number: The High School Catfish, before side-eyeing a California yoga instructor who has come out as “autosexual” (aka attracted to himself). But isn’t that just every yoga instructor in California?

News just in: Pies are nice! Carmen’s delighted it’s autumn, and Laura’s angry that it’s cost her a bomb to get to Norwich. Thank goodness for Klarna (Laura’s other best friend).

Plus, the ladies are annoyed at a woman who has saved $97,000 by just eating eggs and bread, and a listener has emailed in with a story you could never recover from.

​​Here’s the problem: Laura & Carmen have two producers - one begging them to stay on track, and another adding fuel to their fire. Which one do you think they’re listening to?

Carmen’s obsessed with Cheese Strings, Laura’s campaigning for Brie Strings, and together they spiral into all kinds of Shouldn’t Laugh But chaos - discussing Jaden Smith being made Creative Director at Louboutin and Victoria Beckham landing a new documentary. Will there be hot tea on the Brooklyn Peltz-Beckham beef?

Also Laura has just recorded her Live At The Apollo show, and tickets for her brand new tour ‘Born Aggy’ are available now - visit: laurasmyth.com

Unfiltered, unserious, and definitely not approved by HR - welcome to the podcast you shouldn’t laugh at… but will anyway.

Carmen’s back with her great stories, and she can't DEAL with the knowledge that Laura used to be a croupier.

In this episode, the ladies have a problem with AI stitching up Zac Efron, and Shien using Luigi Mangione’s face to sell clothes.

Plus they discuss a listener’s Shouldn’t Laugh But story about getting locked out of her house with the youths. Does anyone want a tinnie?

Would Mickey Mouse commit credit card fraud? Is leopard print actually a “neutral”? And is it really ok to call your boss a d*ckhead? Laura and Carmen discuss.

Alongside that, Carmen’s battling an ant invasion in her kitchen that’s turned her into Gordon Ramsay, Laura’s wondering if her dog Betty might need Dog Ozempic, and she’s also navigating her daughter’s WW2 dress-up day.

Plus the pair have just been to see Back to the Future: The Musical - and Laura would like to go back to the past to stop a certain…egg situation.

It’s chaotic, it’s relatable, and it’s all the stuff you definitely shouldn’t laugh at… but definitely will.
