Summary

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. 🎟️ Tickets for the Two Mr P’s Let That Be a Lesson Tour are on sale now!
