Two Mr Ps in a Pod(Cast)

• LO: To Realise You Are Officially Older Than Santa Claus!

  Recorded on the first of December, this episode kicks off with full on festive chat as the lads talk advent calendars, Centre Parcs prices, the joy and absolute faff of Christmas with kids, and the emotional shift from doing the full Father Christmas and elf on the shelf routine to having slightly older children who still love it but in a different way. There is a proper bit of reflection on nostalgia and ageing, from childhood Christmas traditions and Blue Peter badges to the brutal moment you realise you are now older than the characters you grew up watching in classic Christmas films. The big news this week is a huge announcement about the Let That Be A Lesson tour. After selling over fifteen thousand tickets for the current run, the boys reveal that the tour is being extended with brand new dates across the country in October 2026 and February 2027, giving more teachers and school staff the chance to come out, switch off and have a night of classroom chaos stories in real life. This week’s thread looks at things in the UK that have quietly disappeared without anyone really noticing. There is also a run of teacher fails that will make every member of school staff feel instantly better about their own week. From classroom mishaps to unfortunate wording and tech disasters, it is a reminder that everyone in schools is permanently one tired moment away from unintentional chaos. The episode rounds off with a call for Christmas stories for the upcoming festive special: nativity disasters, staff do confessions, dodgy presents, and anything brilliantly chaotic from the Christmas season. 📬 Want your story featured on the pod?

• LO: To Often Wonder If You've Ever Done The Biggest Poo In The World That Day

  In this episode, the Two Mr Ps are back recording virtually in the chaos of late November, catching up on life, school and the absolute slog that is autumn term two. Lee talks about how busy the past few weeks have been with training and travelling, and shares his appreciation for all the lovely messages after his MBE ceremony. There is a bit of telly chat as they recommend a new drama series they are both hooked on and compare that with the reality of trying to watch anything when you have young children and a very creative relationship with the TV remote. The main thread of the episode is built around the question “What is something everybody does but never admits to?” How many of these do you do but would never admit? The conversation then shifts into school life, with a proper chat about teaching assistants and support staff. They unpack why so many TAs say “I am just a TA”, how the system pushes people to feel undervalued, and why in reality schools could not function without them. That leads into a wider discussion about workload, accountability and the impact of inspection culture on staff wellbeing. As always, there are plenty of classroom moments and pupil one liners sprinkled through, capturing the everyday chaos, honesty and unfiltered logic of children in school. Alongside some more funny tales submitted for the live tour that didn't quite make the shows. The lads are gearing up for their annual Christmas special so if you have any funny festive tales, do share. 📬 Want your story featured on the pod?

• LO: To Remember To Ask The Future King If He Wants To Be A Guest On The Pod!

  Welcome back to another episode of Two Mr Ps in a Podcast! It’s a big one this week as the lads sit down to record on a very special day, the day Lee received his MBE at Windsor Castle from none other than Prince William. From being suited and booted to explaining TeachMateAI to the heir to the throne, Lee shares every detail of the surreal experience, including a story about his dad making quite the royal impression in the toilets of Windsor. Before that, the brothers look back on their final live show of 2025 in Belfast at the iconic Ulster Hall. From 200 people in their first ever Belfast gig to more than 800 this time round, it’s been an unbelievable journey though The Other Mrp still hasn’t learned his pre-show “don’t eat the mixed grill” lesson. Cue kebabs, chaos, and one very unexpected chat with a tipsy local who mistook them for a different nationality. Then it’s back to classroom life with a brilliant thread on “What would shock your 13-year-old self about who you’ve become?” There’s also a round-up of teacher call-and-response fails, awkward classroom moments , and a few classic listener stories that go from pure innocence to total chaos. To finish, the lads tackle your listener questions from how to handle job rejection to which famous person they’d bring back for a chat and Adam gives his glowing review of seeing Five live (complete with a few unexpected fan encounters). The lads are gearing up for their annual Christmas special so if you have any funny festive tales, do share. 📬 Want your story featured on the pod?

• LO: To always unplug your laptop from the smartboard when you're googling something!

  Welcome back to another episode of Two Mr Ps in a Podcast as the lads return for Autumn 2 after a hectic few weeks on the road. It has been a rollercoaster since half term, from hospital trips and sleepless nights to a marathon run of sold-out live shows that saw almost 8,000 of you join the fun across the country. The Mr Ps share their gratitude for everyone who came along, laughed, cheered, and made the Let That Be a Lesson tour the biggest and best yet. They chat about the whirlwind of the October tour run including highlights from Manchester, Rhyl, Exeter, London, and Brighton before revealing how their first-ever American TV appearance didn’t quite go to plan. You can watch the interview here - https://youtu.be/MD_b8zz3HG8?si=kDoOSZPy_rFgjZz7. After the tour tales come the teaching giggles with a thread packed full of teachers’ most awkward and unfortunate Google searches. Expect laugh-out-loud moments as they read through real-life stories of innocent classroom searches gone horribly wrong. There are also a few unforgettable tales of email mix-ups, accidental swearing, and one jaw-dropping WhatsApp blunder that left a teacher red-faced in front of their entire staff. As always, it is the perfect mix of teacher chaos, relatable humour, and pure classroom gold. 📬 Want your story featured on the pod?

• A Chinwag with Dr Kaitlyn Regehr

Hopefully, you find this a fascinating listen.
