Part 1 of the Christmas Special kicks off exactly how most school staff feel by mid-December: exhausted, slightly ill, and crawling towards the finish line like it’s Sports Day in a suit.

Adam’s running on fumes, Lee’s been properly hit by the lurgy, there’s a heartfelt bit about how crucial the Christmas break is, even if you’re not a “massive Christmas person”. If you’re sat there thinking you could happily work through it, the lads reckon that’s less festive spirit and more a genuine warning sign.

They give another big thank you for the tour love, with the slightly mind blowing update that over 15,000 tickets have sold, plus a reminder that the tour is extending into October 2026 and February 2027.

They also have a laugh at the annual “Christmas is being cancelled” crowd, sparked by Tesco calling Christmas trees “evergreen trees”, as if capitalism is suddenly going to stop selling Christmas.

The second half is a brilliant thread: “What’s a Christmas tradition your family does that you don’t think anyone else does?” There’s a genuinely lovely bit of reflection too on “presence over presents” and the pressure parents put on themselves to make Christmas perfect, plus how traditions and time together matter more than whatever plastic trend the kids wanted that year. Part 1 ends with the lads deciding to split the Christmas Special into two episodes, because there’s too much festive chaos for one. Part 2 is coming later in the break with even more stories.

Recorded right at the business end of term, this episode has full “teacher in December” energy: Lee’s full of lurgy, the voice is hanging on by a thread, and everyone listening will feel very seen. The lads chat about the run-in to Christmas, the looming Christmas special, and that strange mix of exhaustion and silliness that only happens in the last couple of weeks of term.

There’s a big chunk of nostalgia and comfort food chat as they get into the truly important question: what do you call the end bit of a loaf of bread?

The episode also digs into the chaos of adult life and parenting: how mums and dads handle tech (or don’t), the bizarre logic some parents live by, and the moment you realise the people who told you not to believe everything on the internet now believe everything on the internet.

There’s also some big tour news woven through the episode. Off the back of over 15,000 tickets sold, the Let That Be A Lesson tour is being extended with new dates across October 2026 and February 2027, on top of the February and May 2026 shows already announced. It’s the perfect “teacher night out” slash “please save me from another candle set” gift. All dates and tickets are at twomrpspodcast.com.

On top of that, TeachMate has had a full glow up and the team are offering free January school trials so staff can hit 2026 with something that actually reduces workload. If you’re SLT, a subject lead, or just the mug who gets given all the jobs, you can get your whole staff set up to try it in the new year.

👉 Free school trial link: https://share-eu1.hsforms.com/1SN__V9WLT7-B4eILexLzQA2fcwrf

The episode rounds off with a reminder that next week is the Christmas Special: they want nativity disasters, staff do confessions, dodgy presents, festive fails and all the brilliantly chaotic Christmas stories from school and home.

Recorded on the first of December, this episode kicks off with full on festive chat as the lads talk advent calendars, Centre Parcs prices, the joy and absolute faff of Christmas with kids, and the emotional shift from doing the full Father Christmas and elf on the shelf routine to having slightly older children who still love it but in a different way.

There is a proper bit of reflection on nostalgia and ageing, from childhood Christmas traditions and Blue Peter badges to the brutal moment you realise you are now older than the characters you grew up watching in classic Christmas films.

The big news this week is a huge announcement about the Let That Be A Lesson tour. After selling over fifteen thousand tickets for the current run, the boys reveal that the tour is being extended with brand new dates across the country in October 2026 and February 2027, giving more teachers and school staff the chance to come out, switch off and have a night of classroom chaos stories in real life.

This week’s thread looks at things in the UK that have quietly disappeared without anyone really noticing.

There is also a run of teacher fails that will make every member of school staff feel instantly better about their own week. From classroom mishaps to unfortunate wording and tech disasters, it is a reminder that everyone in schools is permanently one tired moment away from unintentional chaos.

The episode rounds off with a call for Christmas stories for the upcoming festive special: nativity disasters, staff do confessions, dodgy presents, and anything brilliantly chaotic from the Christmas season.

In this episode, the Two Mr Ps are back recording virtually in the chaos of late November, catching up on life, school and the absolute slog that is autumn term two. Lee talks about how busy the past few weeks have been with training and travelling, and shares his appreciation for all the lovely messages after his MBE ceremony.

There is a bit of telly chat as they recommend a new drama series they are both hooked on and compare that with the reality of trying to watch anything when you have young children and a very creative relationship with the TV remote.

The main thread of the episode is built around the question “What is something everybody does but never admits to?” How many of these do you do but would never admit?

The conversation then shifts into school life, with a proper chat about teaching assistants and support staff. They unpack why so many TAs say “I am just a TA”, how the system pushes people to feel undervalued, and why in reality schools could not function without them. That leads into a wider discussion about workload, accountability and the impact of inspection culture on staff wellbeing.

As always, there are plenty of classroom moments and pupil one liners sprinkled through, capturing the everyday chaos, honesty and unfiltered logic of children in school. Alongside some more funny tales submitted for the live tour that didn't quite make the shows.

The lads are gearing up for their annual Christmas special so if you have any funny festive tales, do share.

Welcome back to another episode of Two Mr Ps in a Podcast! It’s a big one this week as the lads sit down to record on a very special day, the day Lee received his MBE at Windsor Castle from none other than Prince William. From being suited and booted to explaining TeachMateAI to the heir to the throne, Lee shares every detail of the surreal experience, including a story about his dad making quite the royal impression in the toilets of Windsor.

Before that, the brothers look back on their final live show of 2025 in Belfast at the iconic Ulster Hall. From 200 people in their first ever Belfast gig to more than 800 this time round, it’s been an unbelievable journey though The Other Mrp still hasn’t learned his pre-show “don’t eat the mixed grill” lesson. Cue kebabs, chaos, and one very unexpected chat with a tipsy local who mistook them for a different nationality.

Then it’s back to classroom life with a brilliant thread on “What would shock your 13-year-old self about who you’ve become?” There’s also a round-up of teacher call-and-response fails, awkward classroom moments , and a few classic listener stories that go from pure innocence to total chaos.

To finish, the lads tackle your listener questions from how to handle job rejection to which famous person they’d bring back for a chat and Adam gives his glowing review of seeing Five live (complete with a few unexpected fan encounters).

The lads are gearing up for their annual Christmas special so if you have any funny festive tales, do share.

Welcome back to another episode of Two Mr Ps in a Podcast as the lads return for Autumn 2 after a hectic few weeks on the road. It has been a rollercoaster since half term, from hospital trips and sleepless nights to a marathon run of sold-out live shows that saw almost 8,000 of you join the fun across the country. The Mr Ps share their gratitude for everyone who came along, laughed, cheered, and made the Let That Be a Lesson tour the biggest and best yet.

They chat about the whirlwind of the October tour run including highlights from Manchester, Rhyl, Exeter, London, and Brighton before revealing how their first-ever American TV appearance didn’t quite go to plan. You can watch the interview here - https://youtu.be/MD_b8zz3HG8?si=kDoOSZPy_rFgjZz7. After the tour tales come the teaching giggles with a thread packed full of teachers’ most awkward and unfortunate Google searches. Expect laugh-out-loud moments as they read through real-life stories of innocent classroom searches gone horribly wrong. There are also a few unforgettable tales of email mix-ups, accidental swearing, and one jaw-dropping WhatsApp blunder that left a teacher red-faced in front of their entire staff. As always, it is the perfect mix of teacher chaos, relatable humour, and pure classroom gold.

After reading her book, "Smartphone Nation," over the summer, I'm really excited to sit down for a chinwag with Dr Kaitlyn Ragehr.

As a Digital Humanities professor at University College London, she spends a significant amount of time examining the impacts of social media, particularly on young people.

Hopefully, you find this a fascinating listen. After reading her book, I made changes to the way I look and think about social media and my smartphone use, and maybe after hearing this, you might too.

Welcome back to another episode of Two Mr Ps in a Podcast as we hit the final stretch before the October half-term. Whether you’re already off or crawling to the finish line, this one’s packed with laughs, nostalgia, and a few moments of pure disbelief.

The lads kick things off still buzzing from their sold-out hometown show at Manchester’s Aviva Studios, reflecting on the biggest show of the podcast so far. From pre-show nerves and backstage chaos to an unexpected clash with a very different performance happening in the same venue, they share all the behind-the-scenes highs and hiccups from the launch of the Let That Be a Lesson live tour.

Then it’s straight into this week’s thread, exploring things people thought were luxuries growing up. From sharing bedrooms and recording Sky Plus shows on VHS to the magic of a Viennetta on Christmas Eve, the brothers dive into a proper trip down memory lane complete with nostalgic meals, questionable fashion choices, and a few budget holiday memories that every 80s and 90s kid will relate to.

The episode also features a hilarious round-up of autocorrect fails, including some shocking typos, red-faced emails, and texts that could have ended careers (or relationships). The chaos doesn’t stop there, as the Mr Ps wrap up with a fresh batch of “O” moments — the jaw-dropping things teachers, colleagues, and parents have actually said in schools. From mix-ups about history and science to unforgettable classroom blunders, it’s a perfect reminder that sometimes laughter really is the only option.

We were lucky enough to have a chinwag with Mr Burton, who you will know if you're loving watching Educating Yorkshire as much as we are.

We will be dropping another episode later this week, so you can hear how our first night of the tour went.

Welcome back to another episode of Two Mr Ps in a Podcast as the lads record their final episode before the Let That Be a Lesson Live Tour officially kicks off this weekend at the Aviva Studios in Manchester. With 1,200 tickets snapped up, it is a sell-out, the biggest show we have done to date and the excitement (and nerves) are very real.

The brothers chat about tour prep, the sleepless nights, and the sheer pride of seeing how far the podcast has come. From humble beginnings to performing in front of huge audiences, they reflect on what makes the show special, a mix of raw honesty, relatable chaos, and proper teacher humour.

Once the warm-up chat is done, they dive into this week’s thread: the co-workers who ruined it for everyone. Basically don't involve alcohol and Hawaiian shirts. There are also some brilliantly cringe and laugh-out-loud listener stories, from accidental PDA encounters and embarrassing mix-ups to school scandals, awkward misunderstandings, and one unforgettable tale about a classroom spider incident that spirals wildly out of control. As always, it’s an episode full of teacher laughs, relatable moments, and the kind of storytelling that reminds you why this podcast has built such a loyal community.

Welcome back to another episode of Two Mr Ps in a Podcast as the countdown to the Let That Be a Lesson tour officially begins! With less than two weeks to go before the first show, the lads are buzzing with excitement (and a few nerves) as they share their final tour prep chaos and tell everyone to get their tickets from 2MrPsPodcast.com rather than Ticketmaster.

It’s also a special one as they celebrate the Other Mr P’s birthday, which sparks a nostalgic chat about birthdays past, from McDonald’s parties and bowling trips to now preferring a quiet night in and an early bedtime. They also reflect on how birthdays change as you hit your late thirties, why organising plans feels like a full-time job, and how unpredictable British storms and sleepless kids can ruin even the best intentions.

The episode’s main thread explores the oddest reasons children have tantrums, and it’s packed with laugh-out-loud stories every parent and teacher will relate to. From arguments with shadows and meltdowns over the moon to heartbreak over cheese, bleach and “big ham,” the Mr Ps read through the most ridiculous, baffling and brilliant tales of tiny humans losing it over absolutely nothing.

They then turn their attention to some truly unhinged teacher moments, reading a thread of the most diabolical things teachers have said to students, the kind that make you question how some people ever worked in a school. Expect equal parts disbelief, outrage and laughter.

And if that wasn’t enough, the episode ends with another round of unbelievable parent encounters, from oversharing at parents’ evening and unexpected hospital visits to ferret-stroking during meetings and awkward supermarket run-ins. There are moments of pure cringe, accidental innuendo, and more stories that prove truth really is stranger than fiction in the world of education.
