episode Taylor Swift's Tacky Wedding, Katie Price: Nothing To Hide & Harry Kane's Frog Voice artwork

Taylor Swift's Tacky Wedding, Katie Price: Nothing To Hide & Harry Kane's Frog Voice

Laura and Carmen relive England’s dramatic late-night win over Mexico, from Harry Kane’s completely shredded post-match voice and the challenges of playing at altitude, to Boxpark FOMO, Viagra rumours, Liam Gallagher’s "attitude" confusion, and why it really might be coming home...! They also dive into Katie Price: Nothing To Hide, the new Sky documentary that left them heartbroken and completely hooked. From Jordan-era fame, Dane Bowers and Peter Andre, to attention-seeking ex behaviour, bunny boiler confessions and the terrible men we all cried over. Plus they unpack why Katie Price might just be the ultimate hopeless romantic and how her extraordinary resilience has helped her survive every chapter of her life. To round it all off, Laura and Carmen turn their attention to Taylor Swift's headline-making wedding to Travis Kelce. Expect their hot takes on Paul McCartney performing, to 20-minute vows, Madison Square Garden as a wedding venue, Adam Sandler officiating and whether the whole thing was a fairytale fit for America's princess... or just a little bit tacky.

episode Inside Bad Bunny’s La Casita! & Wimbledon Serving Hunculture artwork

Inside Bad Bunny’s La Casita! & Wimbledon Serving Hunculture

If Bad Bunny invited you into La Casita, what move are you pulling out? Laura and Carmen kick things off with all the celebrity chaos from Bad Bunny’s London shows, from Novak Djokovic, Maya Jama and Joe Jonas getting involved, to Carmen imagining herself whipping out the lawnmower move in a bid to impress. Plus, it’s over to Wimbledon, where the fashion is serving just as hard as the tennis. Maura Higgins rocks up in Chanel, Katherine Ryan dozes off in the chicest way possible, and Naomi Osaka delivers full diva energy with a look so good it deserves its own trophy. Elsewhere, a pub trip leads to a surprise run-in with Widows Bay star Kate O’Flynn, there’s school induction day emotion with strong Finding Nemo drop-off energy, and the girls once again prove that being normal in front of famous people is simply not their ministry.

episode TOWIE’s Lydia Bright’s Heatwave Rant & The Royal Family at Wetherspoons artwork

TOWIE’s Lydia Bright’s Heatwave Rant & The Royal Family at Wetherspoons

Laura and Carmen get into the national meltdown caused by the heatwave, from TOWIE star Lydia Bright’s school closure rant and topless men in France being fined, to school WhatsApp group chaos, David Lloyd drama, and the kind of public crash-out that makes you feel alive. They also get into the glorious pettiness of the WNBA, after Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham went viral for an aggressive, extended pointing spree during an on-court bust-up. Even if you don’t know your women’s basketball, this is universal territory: someone says “don’t point at me”, so naturally the only possible response is to point even harder. It’s giving elite-athlete behaviour meets drunk-outside-the-BP-garage energy, and the girls are very much on board. Plus, there’s chocolate making in 35-degree heat, a girls’ trip to Margate, The Streets, King Charles’s tax affairs, and all the best suggestions for what Buckingham Palace should become now Charles and Camilla are officially moving out – a new Big Tesco’s?

episode Who Replaces Keir Starmer? Ian Wright for PM! artwork

Who Replaces Keir Starmer? Ian Wright for PM!

Keir Starmer’s stepped down as Prime Minister, but do not fear! Laura and Carmen are reporting for business to recruit England’s next great leader. From Ian Wright and Danny Dyer to Louis Theroux, Big John and Mike Skinner, the girls assemble their dream PM shortlist and ask the only question that really matters: who’d you trust most to sort the country out over a Chinese takeaway? Elsewhere, Rod Stewart sparks full “soft cough launch” suspicion after cancelling a gig, turning up at the World Cup, and then dramatically needing oxygen on stage. There’s also heatwave hysteria, being hot and aggy, Margate excitement and a discussion on how air conditioning is basically the new air fryer. Plus, the Buttheads deliver another elite shouldn’t laugh but moment, as one listener shares what happened in the moments after her dad passed away - and how one unexpected mishap led to the kind of dark family laughter this podcast was made for.

episode Scots in Boston, Starmer’s Social Media Ban & Prince George’s Eton Era artwork

Scots in Boston, Starmer’s Social Media Ban & Prince George’s Eton Era

Laura and Carmen get into the chaos of football fever, from England optimism and Emma Hayes’ kitchen chalkboard to the absolute scenes caused by Scotland fans taking over Boston, drinking bars dry and turning the Tartan Army into an international diplomatic force. They also unpack the proposed social media ban for under-16s, from screen time, Snapchat fallouts and ‘analogue bullying’ to whether kids should be weaned off TikTok via MySpace, MSN and a full return to landlines, park benches and WKD. Plus, there’s French football shirt loyalty, engagement ring chat, Prince George’s move to Eton, King Charles’ friendship bracelets, and a Father’s Day takedown for the ages - featuring Bluewater, cool man emojis and the universal male refusal to plan anything ever.
