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

Office Christmas Parties, Alcoholic Raccoons & Hilary Swank's Blunder

This week on SLB 🎄 Laura unwraps her dream Christmas gift from Carmen as tinsel flies and festive chaos ensues. She also recaps her recent woodland getaway with her husband Ali -equal parts whimsical and romantic- which has Carmen wondering… did they spot a moose on the drive home?Carmen takes a nostalgic stroll down memory lane, recalling the glory days of Christmas parties past (including drinking vodka straight from an ice sculpture), before the girls debate a pressing modern mystery: is the office Christmas party officially dead?Plus, they weigh in on a raccoon who broke into a liquor store and got absolutely hammered, and unpack a truly unfortunate Hilary Swank-related moment at an airport.Festive, unhinged, and very on brand!Email us your ‘Shouldn’t Laugh But...’ Moments! lauraandcarmen@global.comFollow Shouldn’t Laugh But on all social platforms: @shouldntlaughpod Laura - @thatlaurasmythCarmen - @carmenshouldntlaughListen to Main Episodes every Wednesday, and Watch Main Episodes every Thursday.Bonus Episodes are available every Friday

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.
