I Missed My Own Surprise Party

It’s Carmen’s first Friday as a forty year old and the birthday debrief is still in full swing. From candle blowing sabotage and middle child gift politics to traumatic mascot memories and the cultural dominance of Mr Blobby, Laura and Carmen unpack the chaos that seems to follow any celebration.Plus, a listener’s thirtieth spirals from classy Turkish dinner to violent taxi sickness and a missed surprise party delivered via blank pub screen and disembodied apology. Add in hamster funerals, beer fear, and ski trip anxiety, and it is proof that sometimes the party is not the problem, the morning after is.Follow Shouldn’t Laugh But on all social platforms: @shouldntlaughpodLaura - @thatlaurasmyth Carmen - @carmenshouldntlaughListen to Main Episodes every Tuesday, and Watch Main Episodes every Thursday on Global Player and YouTube.Bonus Episodes are available every Friday
