Welcome back to Two Mr Ps in a Podcast! Recorded right after the half term break, the brothers  dive into teacher report writing, AI in schools, and the perennial debate about whether AI can or should help with writing those dreaded reports. Plus, they chat about the reality of half term weather (spoiler: it’s grim), and big thanks to everyone grabbing tickets for their biggest live tour yet — starting in Manchester and finishing in Salford with a packed schedule. Get your tickets at 2mrpspodcast.com

Then, it’s nostalgia time. The Mr Ps reflect on bizarre house rules and family traditions they thought were normal growing up — from rolled-up socks and Christmas morning singalongs to who picks the music in the car, and weird food rules about ginger ale and Lucozade.

But it doesn’t stop there! They share some of the funniest, most outrageous, and downright brilliant things kids have said in class, including the classic mix-ups, cheeky comebacks, and innocent-but-hilarious misunderstandings that only teachers could truly appreciate. Expect laughs, shockers, and some genuine “awww” moments.

Mr P reflects on his surreal visit to Buckingham Palace for a royal garden party celebrating education. He met King Charles, cracked a few jokes, and left with a selfie that definitely doesn’t reflect how well the conversation went.

It’s a laugh-a-minute episode that’ll make you grateful you're not supervising a canoe trip with wire wool gloves or clearing up mysterious hallway poo.

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 🏫.

🎉 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. 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.

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.

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!
