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

This week, Laura and Carmen are left baffled by the Sydney Sweeney “Sports” ad backlash, wonder whether the internet has completely lost the plot and get stuck into the frankly unhinged world of Hyrox, after one athlete shits herself mid-race and simply carries on.
And, the girls discuss Martha Stewart releasing her nudes in her 80s, the secret to ageing well and the alleged Bake Off beef between Nigella Lawson and Paul Hollywood, including one very suspicious helicopter.
Plus, Meghan Markle’s mum WhatsApp group, and whether there is anything she can do right.

Laura and Carmen are joined by comedian Sean Walsh for a chaotic deep dive into cruise life, British vs American etiquette, and why you should NEVER get in a lift with an American.
And they discuss Instagram as a relationship performance review and the very specific and bizarre things comedians send each other online.
Plus, Sean shares the schoolboy love story that ended with a secret crush and a spectacular face-first disaster.

This week, Laura and Carmen are left heartbroken by the Spice Girls’ “big announcement” after they mistook the heavily teased reveal for a full reunion. They also talk Jennifer Lawrence’s warning to Instagram trolls, influencers at the US Open, Rita Ora’s social media fail and classic “my account was hacked” posts.
Elsewhere, the girls imagine what Elon Musk’s ex-girlfriend could reveal after reportedly refusing a £40 million NDA, debate the most unforgivable billionaire habits and react to Donald Trump’s reported $5,000 voting proposal. Plus, there’s outrage over £25 drinks at the O2, a deep dive into the return of Celebrity Traitors, Ross Kemp versus James Acaster and the question of whether anyone can ever top Alan Carr.
Away from the celebrity chaos, Laura shares her girls’ sleepover at her sisters 50th -matching pyjamas, a pool, hot tub and Bridesmaids - while Carmen reports back from Greece, including the Acropolis, Paros and a very suspicious henna tattoo.

Irish comedy star and viral social-media favourite Kyla Cobbler joins Laura and Carmen for an episode packed with chaos, honesty and big laughs.
Kyla shares a painfully awkward radio-interview story, her obsession with prank clips and bloopers, bombing on stage, dodgy make-up, and why Melissa McCarthy is her dream grandma.
Plus, Kyla talks about her new book, Happy, Thank You, More Please - a funny, heartfelt celebration of navigating life’s messier moments, finding your people, and choosing gratitude along the way.
