Recorded in peak January survival mode, Episode 237 is a proper classic Two Mr Ps ramble that somehow starts with tour warnings and ends with… absolute school-based chaos. The lads kick things off with a three week countdown to the next run of live shows, a bit of excitement about trialling full video episodes on YouTube, and a surprisingly long detour into haircuts, beards, and the deeply humbling world of acting self tapes, where Adam discovers that “throwing yourself into a role” sometimes just means your partner cry-laughing at you in the kitchen. From there, the episode leans into shared nostalgia and gentle self-ridicule, with stories of teenage acting, questionable school trips from the past, and Mr P very lightly taking credit for helping solve a crime via a Crimewatch reconstruction. As always, confidence is high. Accuracy is optional. The middle of the episode brings back another blind ranking. This time it’s the worst things a member of school staff can hear at 8.30am, prompting some very relatable debate about printers, WiFi, parents asking for “a chat”, and why vague meetings can ruin your entire day before it’s even started. If you’ve ever stood in a classroom mentally reprioritising your will to live before the bell, this bit will hit home. Things then slide neatly into a thread about the worst bits of general knowledge people have ever got confidently wrong, proving once again that adulthood does not guarantee understanding of geography, biology, space, or how the human body works. It’s comforting, alarming, and very funny in equal measure. The second half is packed with what the podcast does best: relentless teacher stories. Quick-fire pupil comebacks, accidental classroom burns, and moments of unintentional brilliance from children who absolutely did not mean to be funny, but very much were. There’s a strong run of anonymous submissions too, covering awkward parent interactions, catastrophic slips of the tongue, staffroom mishaps, EYFS horror stories, and the kind of incidents that could only ever happen in a school and could only ever be laughed about years later. It all builds to a finish that perfectly sums up the podcast: wildly inappropriate visuals, uncontrollable laughter, and the shared understanding that teaching is a job where no amount of training can prepare you for what you’ll actually experience. Chaotic, cathartic, and exactly the sort of episode that feels like a long staffroom chat after a very long day. ​📬 Want your story featured on the pod?
