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

Welcome back to another cracking episode of Two Mr Ps in a Podcast as we approach the end of the school year. The lads kick things off chatting about the never-ending hustle of the last few weeks — transition days, leavers’ videos, and the relentless buzz of school life that just doesn’t quit.

They dive into some big summer plans, including a highly anticipated Oasis reunion gig (and all the nostalgia and excitement that comes with it), plus the Two Mr Ps live tour with tickets selling fast — don’t miss out on what’s shaping up to be their biggest tour yet!

Next up, they tackle the things that still make them nervous — from dreaded Offstead calls and awkward introductions to those moments when you realise a kid knows more than you do. Plus, the universal anxiety of ringing in sick and those dreaded “quick chats” with the boss. Then the conversation turns hilarious and downright bizarre with a flood of parents’ evening stories — awkward meetings, unexpected phone calls, wild parent antics, and some unforgettable classroom moments that only teachers could survive. From wardrobe malfunctions to mysterious mouse encounters, it’s a rollercoaster of cringe, chaos, and comedy.To round things off, the Mr Ps share some of the funniest, most awkward, and downright cheeky tales from sex education lessons — including classic kid questions that will have you laughing out loud.
