• LO: To Know The Best Seats On The School Bus Are At The Back

  The Mr Ps are back with another packed episode full of school staff giggles, sibling chaos, and some wild stories you won’t believe actually happened. This week, Mr P shares an unexpected invite to 10 Downing Street (yep, really) and wonders what kind of breakfast awaits—a posh pastry or a policy chat? Meanwhile, Adam’s in full Easter play prep mode as his daughter takes on the lead role… and let’s just say they're big sandals to fill after Mr P played the same role back in the day. There’s also a deep dive into the UK’s most relatable minor inconveniences—from slow walkers and dodgy apps to the nightmare of reduced sticker barcodes and bacon packaging rage. And of course, it wouldn’t be a Two Mr Ps episode without a healthy dose of classroom chaos as the Mr Ps share some absolute belters from listeners, including the most savage pupil burns and the kind of eyebrow-raising comments that only happen in a classroom. 🎟️ Tickets for the Two Mr P’s Let That Be a Lesson Tour are on sale now!

• LO: To Never Wag A French Lesson

  The Mr Ps are back for another packed episode talking you on a wild ride through awkward teacher moments, legendary high school drama, and the kind of classroom chaos only teachers will understand. Mr P shares the relatable tale of becoming that parent—the one who insists their child is fine, only for said child to spectacularly throw up the moment they return to school. Meanwhile, the other Mr P is podcasting from a hotel room, on a mission to find a hotel gym that actually works. But the real show-stealer is a Reddit thread about “The Incident” in high school—featuring one of the most cinematic, layered and laugh-out-loud stories ever told. Think: Ocean’s Eleven, but with vending machines, a dead fox, a head-torch called Matty, and a bunch of lads crawling under a school in full-blown heist mode. It's got everything: suspense, disaster, betrayal, and one very traumatised music teacher. The episode also features a bumper crop of awkward school moments, from dodgy medical encounters with parents to tooth disasters, awkward RSE questions, and one unforgettable “special torch” moment—this episode is packed with classroom chaos that’ll make any teacher want to disappear. 🎟️ Tickets for the Two Mr P’s Let That Be a Lesson Tour are on sale now!

• LO: To know the difference between a work mate and a work colleague

  Welcome back to another episode of Two Mr P’s in a Podcast – Season 8, Episode 23! After a short break, the two Mr P’s are back and firing on all cylinders, bringing you another jam-packed episode full of hilarious teacher tales, cringe-worthy moments, and eyebrow-raising confessions. Whether you’re listening on your commute, hiding in the stock cupboard for a moment of peace, or winding down after a long day in the classroom, this episode is guaranteed to bring plenty of laughs. The lads get stuck into the latest Netflix must-watch, Adolescence, a show that’s equal parts gripping and terrifying for anyone working with young people. They break down the dangers of mobile phones and social media, why it’s more relevant than ever for teachers and parents, and the shocking reality of what students are exposed to online. Mr P shares his thoughts on why kids should probably never have phones in school, while Adam reflects on how the show left him wide-eyed and unable to sleep. Elsewhere, the brothers explore some of the most ridiculously dumb things people have ever said, from jaw-dropping misunderstandings to moments of sheer stupidity that will have you questioning everything. Whether it's a teacher convinced that ducks have four legs or a colleague who believes Halloween could one day fall on Friday the 13th, expect plenty of second-hand embarrassment and uncontrollable laughter. Of course, no episode would be complete without a classic school fail—and this week’s highlight is an all-time awkward moment in the staffroom. A teacher spends 15 full minutes pouring their heart out about a struggling student… Safe to say, the person they were speaking to was in no position to offer much pastoral support! 🎟️ Tickets for the Two Mr P’s Let That Be a Lesson Tour are on sale now!

• LO: To Know They Don't Make Quotable Lines Like They Used To

  In this episode, the brothers return exhausted and slightly delirious after surviving World Book Day—a day that somehow manages to be both magical and utterly draining in equal measure. Mr P records from a hotel room in London after a mammoth drive, while Adam is fresh off the back of a residential trip, where sleep was a distant dream, and the only winner was his son, who suddenly learned how to sleep perfectly the moment Dad left. Adam continues his World Book Day tradition of dressing up as a female book character, claiming it’s all for the kids (but Mr P isn’t convinced). This year’s choice? Gangsta Granny, complete with a skirt, full makeup, and an unexpected level of enthusiasm from parents and children alike.  The lads also dive into the ultimate nostalgia trip, reminiscing about the most iconic movie quotes from their youth. From Forrest Gump to Anchorman, Titanic to Borat, expect 90s and 2000s gold that proves just how quotable—and painfully cringey—our teenage years really were. As always, the episode is packed with hilarious listener stories and it wouldn’t be an episode without a brutal school fail, and this one takes the biscuit—a Year 3 diary entry that sends one teacher into full-on crisis mode, only for the punchline to reveal one of the biggest (and funniest) misunderstanding of all time. 🎟️ Tickets for the Two Mr Ps Live Tour are selling fast!
