S8 Ep 27LO: To Celebrate Mr P Turning The BIG 4-0

It's a big one this week – Mr P is officially 40! 🎉 After celebrating with a spa day in the Lake District, he reflects on hitting the big 4-0, while also dealing with the chaos of a wasp invasion at home 🐝. There's plenty of laughter as he shares how his own kids brutally roasted him with some hilariously savage personalised birthday cards 🎂😂. The episode also marks another major milestone: seven years since the very first Two Mr Ps in a Podcast episode was released! 🎙️🎉 The lads dive into a hilarious YouGov poll revealing Britain’s most offensive swear words 🤬 so listener discretion is advised, sparking plenty of debate over which words deserve top spot. There's also discussion around teenagers, swearing, and whether The Inbetweeners is ever appropriate family viewing 👀. Spoiler alert: it definitely isn't! The episode also features a special segment of unpopular opinions 🔥, with plenty of controversial hot takes shared between Mr P and Adam 🎤. On the school front, there’s more madness with a jaw-dropping true story about a student smuggling a penguin 🐧 (and a pig 🐖!) back from a zoo trip. The Mr Ps also share the most outrageous parents’ evening confessions, including a truly wild encounter involving substances in the car park 🚗💨, and an SLT member making the most bizarre public move you’ll ever hear during an assembly 🏫.

S8 Ep 26LO: To Know They Don't Write Reports Like They Used To!

🎉 The Mr Ps are back and ready to tackle the start of the summer term, but not without a few grumbles—especially when it comes to stolen bank holidays and shortened breaks! Mr P shares his outrage about only getting one week off for Easter and the injustice of missing out on a bank holiday when it falls during school holidays. Teachers deserve their perks! 🏖️ There’s a recap of Mr P’s Easter trip to Barry Island for the long-awaited Gavin & Stacey tour, plus reflections on turning the big 4-0 with a joint party, a live band, and plenty of dancing (and not-so-plenty of recovery time). 😴 Adam gets real about the struggles of sleep deprivation, thanks to a six-year-old who recently gave up his dummies. If you’ve ever tried to parent after a night of zero sleep, this one’s for you. 🕺 A chat about signs you know you're getting older—whether it’s finding joy in doing absolutely nothing, battling rogue ear hairs at the barbers, or being weirdly excited about a cordless vacuum. Midlife has never sounded so real… or so funny. 🎤 The Mr Ps also dish out advice to a nervous assistant head struggling with assemblies, share listener stories that range from jaw-dropping to heartwarming, and revisit some of the most savage comments ever made by teachers back in the day.

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.

S8 Ep 24LO: 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.

S8 Ep 23LO: 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!

S8 Ep 22LO: 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!

S8 Ep 21LO: To Never Let A Student Pick The Assembly Song

In this episode, the brothers return from half-term and realise, as always, that the break somehow managed to feel both endless and over in a flash. Mr P attempts to navigate a night out at Bongo’s Bingo while stone-cold sober—a truly eye-opening experience that leaves him questioning everything from health and safety risks to the stamina of students on a night out. Meanwhile, Adam reflects on a weekend of questionable decisions, including a stay in a boiling-hot Alton Towers hotel room that felt more like a sauna than a family getaway. As they settle back into school life, the lads share some of the most painfully relatable teacher-tired moments after hearing that some teachers came to the live podcast tour a year early. They also take a deep dive into the strangest, most brilliant things children have ever said, proving once again that kids have an uncanny ability to drop wisdom bombs when you least expect it. Elsewhere, a simple discussion about TV shows with a British twist spirals into a conversation about nostalgic soaps, baffling plot holes, and Lee’s brief but unforgettable acting career. And, of course, listener stories never fail to deliver—expect tales of assembly disasters, accidental insults, and some truly unhinged parent emails that leave the lads wondering how some people even find the time. ​Tickets for the Two Mr Ps Live Tour are on sale now! The show kicks off in October 2025 and February 2026, and some dates are already close to selling out.

In the last episode before the February half-term break, Mr P and the other Mr P dive into the chaos of Ofsted visits as Adam finally emerges from the other side—did the inspectors bring up Lee’s latest rant? Mr P tries to resist the urge to further damn the latest reforms and the ludicrous nature of Ofsted judging schools on attendance. Elsewhere, the lads discuss the most annoying sayings doing the rounds, from “hollybobs” to “fur baby”, and discover that the other Mr P might need to retire “it’s a vibe” from his vocabulary. The lads then pack the episode with more of your hilarious stories, with plenty of lessons to learn about what not to do to avoid the most embarrassing moments where you want the ground to swallow you up. 🎟️ The Two Mr Ps Live Tour is coming!

This week, it’s all happening! Adam gets the call—yes, that dreaded school phone call that sends shivers down every teacher’s spine. The brothers dive into the stress, absurdity, and high stakes of an Ofsted visit, while Mr P unleashes an almighty rant about Ofsted’s latest so-called “reforms” (spoiler: they’re just as pointless and ridiculous as ever). Elsewhere, they tackle the big debate—should kids call teachers by their first names? One listener argues the case, but let’s just say the lads aren’t convinced. Plus, they reminisce about that weird childhood obsession of finding out teachers’ first names—absolute gold dust back in the day. Also in this episode: 🎭 Boyzone: No Matter What documentary is this week's recommendation—why Louis Walsh might just be the perfect Ofsted inspector. 📜 The most bizarre (and concerning) things kids have told their teachers about their parents’ jobs 🚨 The school wellbeing initiative that takes the biscuit 🤦‍♂️ And finally, the story of a teacher who lovingly marked a pile of papers… only for her boyfriend to mistake them for something after one too many drinks.

They kick things off with Mr P telling a tale that’s every teacher’s nightmare—It’s a story of survival, wet wipes, and making a memorable first impression (shoe in hand).

Expect laughs as they relive their cringiest moments, from wearing suits to the pub to blasting BFG audiobooks in car parks. The episode also features a hilarious round-up of the weirdest parent complaints, including a child’s "stolen" eyebrows, demands for teachers to microwave Rustlers burgers, and the parent who wanted less Jesus in the school nativity.

In this episode, the brothers take a humorous detour into the world of all things weird, wonderful, and very British.

Mr P meets Bridget Phillipson

In a special episode of the podcast, Mr P has a chat with the shadow education secretary Bridget Phillipson. Unfortunately, The Other Mr P is away on a residential and therefore couldn't join, so Mr P is having a more serious chat with the potential new education secretary. With the general election less than a month away, he was keen to chat to Bridget about some of the policies announced and hopefully provide teachers and schools staff an opportunity to hear about what changes would be made if Bridget was to become the next education secretary. They were able to cover a range of topics from the levels of child poverty, school funding, the SEND crisis, recruitment and retention, Ofsted, workload, support staff and curriculum reforms. We hope you find it useful and we would love to hear your feedback. Mr P came away from the chat hopeful, with the feeling that Bridget would do what we don't think any Education Secretary has done in the past decade which is engage, value and listen to the profession.
