Akon Did What for $1M?! & Berghain’s Most Unexpected Queue Member
from Shouldn't Laugh But...Laura Smyth & Carmen Butcher
Laura and Carmen unpack Akon’s wild story about being paid millions to perform Lonely on repeat for three people - and debate exactly what they would (and wouldn’t) do for a life-changing pay cheque.Elsewhere, Carmen shares her dream of a surprise Vengaboys-style wedding performance, Laura reminisces about Omar singing live at a friend’s first dance, and the pair discuss Berlin’s ultra-exclusive Berghain - including the little old lady who accidentally joined the queue with her hiking poles.Plus, Laura’s Devon holiday, Carmen’s sweaty London heatwave survival, an apology to James Nesbitt and John Hannah, and a listener story involving a pigeon, an unfortunate splat and true romantic resilience.Follow Shouldn’t Laugh But on all social platforms: @shouldntlaughpodLaura - @thatlaurasmythCarmen - @carmenshouldntlaughShouldn’t Laugh But… is a Global ProductionListen every Tuesday & Friday or watch us on Global Player, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts
