The 6-7 Craze, Ex Boyfriends & Weird Reviews

Each week, best mates Laura Smyth and Carmen Butcher dive headfirst into the daft, the ridiculous, and the gloriously dumb - from their own personal disasters to the wildest, most unhinged things the internet (and the world) throws at us.

Emma Watson losing her driving license for speeding? They’re on it. A woman taking a selfie with a shark and getting her hands bitten off? You know they’re talking about it. A CEO getting caught cheating at a Coldplay concert? They’re already laughing.

If you love side-eyeing the news, finding comfort in other people’s weird choices, and laughing when maybe you shouldn’t… this is your new weekly dose of feeling better about your life choices.

Shouldn’t Laugh But… with Laura and Carmen is a Global Player Original Podcast. You can listen, watch and subscribe to the podcast now on Global Player, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.
