Not to mention, there’s love for Justin Bieber stripping it all back on stage, thoughts on Sabrina Carpenter’s awkward crowd moment and a general appreciation for pop stars saying the wrong thing under unbearable amounts of pressure.Plus, the pair talk about Artemis II, the emotional moon mission moments that genuinely floored them, the astronaut naming a crater over his late wife, the floating Nutella, the broken space toilet, and why men hugging on the far side of the moon might just be the most hopeful thing to happen all year.Laura also shares tales from Easter on Mersea Island, being recognised in a caravan park, chaotic bingo, and a visit to Carmen’s gloriously intense parents. Meanwhile, Carmen reflects on family food pressure and why honesty really might be the best policy when you’re horrendously hungover.Email us your ‘Shouldn’t Laugh But...’ Moments!
