Anne Hathaway Called Her Baby a WHAT?! & The Weirdest World Cup Final

Anne Hathaway Called Her Baby a WHAT?! & The Weirdest World Cup Final

Laura and Carmen are back for one final World Cup debrief, and honestly... what in the holy American hell was that? From England's chaotic six-goal thriller against France (the real final, obviously), Bukayo Saka cementing his status as the nation's baby boy, Lamine Yamal snubbing Donald Trump, and why Argentina seemed more interested in WWE than football, there's plenty to unpack. They also dissect the weirdest halftime show, from AI Madonna, The Muppets, Louis Vuitton, Jennifer Hudson, Justin Bieber and Wayne Rooney saying exactly what everyone else was thinking. Plus, Anne Hathaway has everyone asking the same question... she called her baby a buzzer beater?! After completely getting the wrong end of the stick, the girls spiral into a conversation about all the words and sayings they've been getting wrong for years. Expect misheard lyrics, family sayings that somehow survived for decades, Ghost Island, "meditation and…", and plenty of gloriously muddled moments along the way. Elsewhere, Laura returns from a dreamy Northern Ireland escape packed with Game of Thrones locations, terrifying rope bridges, sea swims, seafood chowder and vintage shopping, while Carmen parties it up at The Streets at Alexandra Palace, gets recognised by a listener for the first time, and receives the most backhanded compliment imaginable.

Retirement Home Chaos, Wild Grandparents & Grandma Droniak

Imagine getting older, partying in your retirement home with all your mates, causing chaos and not caring one bit - honestly, the dream? Laura and Carmen get stuck into the world of wild grandparents, inspired by 96-year-old TikTok icon Grandma Droniak, who’s been hit with warnings at her retirement home for late-night parties, noise complaints and serving drinks to the other residents. Plus, Laura and Carmen chat about what kind of older women they want to be, from old lady cruises and comedy-on-sea dreams to the simple right to let rip in M&S and not apologise. And of course they cover brilliant listener stories involving glamorous nans, too much rosé, tactical chunders, sangria wisdom and the kind of family legends who only get more iconic with age.

Haaland Fever, Bellingham Mania & It Might Actually Be Coming Home

Laura and Carmen are fully in their Erling Haaland era! From England’s latest World Cup win against Norway and Thomas Tuchel’s terrifyingly intense energy, to Jude Bellingham being an actual angel, Victoria Beckham in full WAG mode, and why Haaland and Bellingham’s chemistry is starting to feel less like tournament coverage and more like a romcom. They also get stuck into the final episodes of Katie Price: Nothing To Hide, from the heartbreak, the chaos and the terrible men, to the moments that left them hooked, conflicted and wondering how Katie still keeps landing on her feet. Plus, Millie Bobby Brown’s wildly specific past-life theory leads Laura and Carmen into a tangent about birthmarks, witches, Vikings and whether they’ve all been here before. As if that wasn’t enough, Laura relives her trip to Mallorca - featuring hotel room carnage next door, an all-inclusive upgrade, a drunken leap off a dock, a bashed-up leg, a cancelled flight and sleeping through severe turbulence. Back in the UK, Carmen has been living her best heatwave life in a £50 sloosh, while squirrels, foxes and various bits of garden wildlife threaten to take over completely. From semi-final dreams to sloosh-based survival, this one really has it all… Follow Shouldn’t Laugh But on all social platforms: @shouldntlaughpod Laura - @thatlaurasmyth Carmen - @carmenshouldntlaugh Shouldn’t Laugh But… is a Global Production Listen every Tuesday & Friday or watch us on Global Player, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts
