LO: To Celebrate Mr P Turning The BIG 4-0
It's a big one this week – Mr P is officially 40! 🎉 After celebrating with a spa day in the Lake District, he reflects on hitting the big 4-0, while also dealing with the chaos of a wasp invasion at home 🐝. There's plenty of laughter as he shares how his own kids brutally roasted him with some hilariously savage personalised birthday cards 🎂😂. The episode also marks another major milestone: seven years since the very first Two Mr Ps in a Podcast episode was released! 🎙️🎉
The lads dive into a hilarious YouGov poll revealing Britain’s most offensive swear words 🤬 so listener discretion is advised, sparking plenty of debate over which words deserve top spot. There's also discussion around teenagers, swearing, and whether The Inbetweeners is ever appropriate family viewing 👀. Spoiler alert: it definitely isn't!
The episode also features a special segment of unpopular opinions 🔥, with plenty of controversial hot takes shared between Mr P and Adam 🎤.
On the school front, there’s more madness with a jaw-dropping true story about a student smuggling a penguin 🐧 (and a pig 🐖!) back from a zoo trip. The Mr Ps also share the most outrageous parents’ evening confessions, including a truly wild encounter involving substances in the car park 🚗💨, and an SLT member making the most bizarre public move you’ll ever hear during an assembly 🏫.
Finally, the Mr Ps remind everyone that tickets for their upcoming live tour 🎟️ are now available at 2mrpspodcast.com/live 📱, and dates are already selling out. As always, listeners are encouraged to send in their school stories anonymously through the website ✉️, join the Facebook group for more laughs 😂, and follow the Mr Ps across social media 📲 for updates, extra content, and general teaching chaos.

LO: To Know They Don't Write Reports Like They Used To!
🎉 The Mr Ps are back and ready to tackle the start of the summer term, but not without a few grumbles—especially when it comes to stolen bank holidays and shortened breaks! Mr P shares his outrage about only getting one week off for Easter and the injustice of missing out on a bank holiday when it falls during school holidays. Teachers deserve their perks! 🏖️ There’s a recap of Mr P’s Easter trip to Barry Island for the long-awaited Gavin & Stacey tour, plus reflections on turning the big 4-0 with a joint party, a live band, and plenty of dancing (and not-so-plenty of recovery time). 😴 Adam gets real about the struggles of sleep deprivation, thanks to a six-year-old who recently gave up his dummies. If you’ve ever tried to parent after a night of zero sleep, this one’s for you. 🕺 A chat about signs you know you're getting older—whether it’s finding joy in doing absolutely nothing, battling rogue ear hairs at the barbers, or being weirdly excited about a cordless vacuum. Midlife has never sounded so real… or so funny.
🎤 The Mr Ps also dish out advice to a nervous assistant head struggling with assemblies, share listener stories that range from jaw-dropping to heartwarming, and revisit some of the most savage comments ever made by teachers back in the day. Let’s just say… they don’t make school reports like they used to!

LO: To Know The Best Seats On The School Bus Are At The Back
The Mr Ps are back with another packed episode full of school staff giggles, sibling chaos, and some wild stories you won’t believe actually happened.
This week, Mr P shares an unexpected invite to 10 Downing Street (yep, really) and wonders what kind of breakfast awaits—a posh pastry or a policy chat? Meanwhile, Adam’s in full Easter play prep mode as his daughter takes on the lead role… and let’s just say they're big sandals to fill after Mr P played the same role back in the day.
There’s also a deep dive into the UK’s most relatable minor inconveniences—from slow walkers and dodgy apps to the nightmare of reduced sticker barcodes and bacon packaging rage. And of course, it wouldn’t be a Two Mr Ps episode without a healthy dose of classroom chaos as the Mr Ps share some absolute belters from listeners, including the most savage pupil burns and the kind of eyebrow-raising comments that only happen in a classroom.
