Welcome back to another episode of Two Mr Ps in a Podcast as the countdown to the Let That Be a Lesson tour officially begins! With less than two weeks to go before the first show, the lads are buzzing with excitement (and a few nerves) as they share their final tour prep chaos and tell everyone to get their tickets from 2MrPsPodcast.com rather than Ticketmaster.

It’s also a special one as they celebrate the Other Mr P’s birthday, which sparks a nostalgic chat about birthdays past, from McDonald’s parties and bowling trips to now preferring a quiet night in and an early bedtime. They also reflect on how birthdays change as you hit your late thirties, why organising plans feels like a full-time job, and how unpredictable British storms and sleepless kids can ruin even the best intentions.

The episode’s main thread explores the oddest reasons children have tantrums, and it’s packed with laugh-out-loud stories every parent and teacher will relate to. From arguments with shadows and meltdowns over the moon to heartbreak over cheese, bleach and “big ham,” the Mr Ps read through the most ridiculous, baffling and brilliant tales of tiny humans losing it over absolutely nothing.

They then turn their attention to some truly unhinged teacher moments, reading a thread of the most diabolical things teachers have said to students, the kind that make you question how some people ever worked in a school. Expect equal parts disbelief, outrage and laughter.

And if that wasn’t enough, the episode ends with another round of unbelievable parent encounters, from oversharing at parents’ evening and unexpected hospital visits to ferret-stroking during meetings and awkward supermarket run-ins. There are moments of pure cringe, accidental innuendo, and more stories that prove truth really is stranger than fiction in the world of education.

The Mr Ps are back with Season 9, Episode 3, and it’s a wild one from start to finish! After surviving a hectic week, the lads catch up on all things tour prep as the countdown is officially on. With over 12,000 tickets already sold, they share their excitement (and nerves!) as the live shows get closer.

Adam opens up about his big career change after eight years at his school, reflecting on an emotional farewell and the new challenge ahead. Just as things get heartfelt, the episode takes a chaotic turn when recording is interrupted by a family emergency or is all not what it seems?

Lee relives the incredible Oasis reunion at Wembley, getting nostalgic about sharing the experience with his daughter and proving why some gigs live with you forever. From there, the brothers dive into this week’s thread all about the pettiest and most unforgettable grudges from school, whether it’s missed opportunities, unfair detentions, or teachers who underestimated pupils who went on to prove them wrong.

And of course, it wouldn’t be complete without a round-up of hilarious classroom comebacks and awkward parent encounters that leave you cringing and crying with laughter in equal measure.

Welcome back! Season 9, episode 2 lands with the Mr Ps settling into the new school year. There’s a quick (and pointed) nod to Ofsted’s latest shenanigans, then straight into good news: the live tour is flying thanks to you, wonderful people. Manchester is sold out, more dates are close, and you can still submit anonymous stories that might be read on stage.

Thread of the week is a beauty: the worst messages sent to the wrong person. Expect workplace whoopsies, panicked “delete for everyone” attempts, and career-limiting replies. There’s accidental shade fired at bosses, heartfelt texts meant for partners delivered to parents, and autocorrect chaos that turns totally normal updates into… very not-normal ones. Family group chats aren’t safe, emergency features trigger at the worst times, and a few innocent typos escalate faster than a staffroom rumour.

From there, there are some fantastic comebacks from students to teachers, teachers to students and students to other students, some brutal, some shocking but all hilarious.

As ever, no spoilers—just enough to whet your appetite.

Welcome back! A new school year and therefore another season of your favourite podcast! Season 9 kicks off with the Mr Ps just about recovering after a bad bout of food poisoning after some dodgy chicken wings.

The lads dive into to the first thread, looking at when you realise you are OLD as the school year always reminds us about the passing of time, for example, Year 7s this year weren't here for the 2014 World Cup. Community chaos takes centre stage with highlights from neighbourhood WhatsApp groups and the world’s most “memorable” neighbours. Then the lads share some more of your hilarious tales from the classroom
