Shouldn't Laugh But...Laura Smyth & Carmen Butcher18 Elo

We Need to Talk About Usher! & Are Disney Adults an Ick?

Laura and Carmen get stuck into Usher and Chris Brown’s R&B Tour - from cherry-feeding and very erotic dancing, to the fans being pulled on stage when they absolutely did not ask to become part of the show. Is it harmless fun, or has their on-stage seduction gone too far?

Elsewhere, the debate over Disney Adults takes centre stage as the girls discuss the Peter Pan superfan, the strange world of parasocial relationships, and exactly where the line is between innocent escapism and making an actor in tights dread coming into work.

Plus, Elton John’s kneecap jewellery gets the girls talking about the strange bodily keepsakes people hold on to - cue Laura’s story involving a preserved umbilical cord and her mum’s dog Mitzi.
