## Resource

Laura and Carmen are absolutely losing it over the kind of chaotic real-life moments that sound made up but somehow aren’t- starting with a man who risked it all (and his licence) for a hot Chinese take-away! Plus they dive into a jaw-dropping birth story involving flooded roads, a speeding car and a baby who simply could not wait. Laura shares her own surreal labour moment featuring an unexpected celebrity cameo that has to be heard to be believed. If that wasn’t enough, listener Tanya transports the pair to a Japanese spa experience gone spectacularly wrong, involving full nudity, a panic-stricken button press… and an entire room of strangers watching it unfold in horror. From takeaway desperation to naked humiliation, it’s another gloriously unfiltered episode packed with moments you really shouldn’t laugh at… but absolutely will.
