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