In this episode, the brothers return from half-term and realise, as always, that the break somehow managed to feel both endless and over in a flash. Mr P attempts to navigate a night out at Bongo’s Bingo while stone-cold sober—a truly eye-opening experience that leaves him questioning everything from health and safety risks to the stamina of students on a night out. Meanwhile, Adam reflects on a weekend of questionable decisions, including a stay in a boiling-hot Alton Towers hotel room that felt more like a sauna than a family getaway.

As they settle back into school life, the lads share some of the most painfully relatable teacher-tired moments after hearing that some teachers came to the live podcast tour a year early. They also take a deep dive into the strangest, most brilliant things children have ever said, proving once again that kids have an uncanny ability to drop wisdom bombs when you least expect it.

Elsewhere, a simple discussion about TV shows with a British twist spirals into a conversation about nostalgic soaps, baffling plot holes, and Lee’s brief but unforgettable acting career. And, of course, listener stories never fail to deliver—expect tales of assembly disasters, accidental insults, and some truly unhinged parent emails that leave the lads wondering how some people even find the time.

In the last episode before the February half-term break, Mr P and the other Mr P dive into the chaos of Ofsted visits as Adam finally emerges from the other side—did the inspectors bring up Lee’s latest rant? Mr P tries to resist the urge to further damn the latest reforms and the ludicrous nature of Ofsted judging schools on attendance. 

Elsewhere, the lads discuss the most annoying sayings doing the rounds, from “hollybobs” to “fur baby”, and discover that the other Mr P might need to retire “it’s a vibe” from his vocabulary. The lads then pack the episode with more of your hilarious stories, with plenty of lessons to learn about what not to do to avoid the most embarrassing moments where you want the ground to swallow you up.

This week, it’s all happening! Adam gets the call—yes, that dreaded school phone call that sends shivers down every teacher’s spine. The brothers dive into the stress, absurdity, and high stakes of an Ofsted visit, while Mr P unleashes an almighty rant about Ofsted’s latest so-called “reforms” (spoiler: they’re just as pointless and ridiculous as ever).

Elsewhere, they tackle the big debate—should kids call teachers by their first names? One listener argues the case, but let’s just say the lads aren’t convinced. Plus, they reminisce about that weird childhood obsession of finding out teachers’ first names—absolute gold dust back in the day.

🚨 The school wellbeing initiative that takes the biscuit

🤦‍♂️ And finally, the story of a teacher who lovingly marked a pile of papers… only for her boyfriend to mistake them for something after one too many drinks. Febreze was involved.

In this episode, the brothers dive headfirst into the hilarity and chaos of school life, with a good dose of relatable rants and cringe-worthy moments. They kick things off with Mr P telling a tale that’s every teacher’s nightmare—It’s a story of survival, wet wipes, and making a memorable first impression (shoe in hand).

Next, they take on the January blues, swapping stories of windy playground duties, sleepless nights, and reminiscing about the energy (and questionable fashion choices) of their teenage years. Expect laughs as they relive their cringiest moments, from wearing suits to the pub to blasting BFG audiobooks in car parks.

The episode also features a hilarious round-up of the weirdest parent complaints, including a child’s "stolen" eyebrows, demands for teachers to microwave Rustlers burgers, and the parent who wanted less Jesus in the school nativity.

And as always, more listener stories don’t disappoint—teddies being “tossed off,” children channelling Taylor Swift in maths, and a surprising twist involving a pharmaceutical rep mistaken for a drug dealer.
