LO: To always bring tissues to assembly!

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. 📬 Want your story featured on the pod?
