Two Mr Ps in a Pod(Cast)5 Feb 2025

LO: To know Ofsted clearly have staff meetings in Nandos

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. Also in this episode: 🎭 Boyzone: No Matter What documentary is this week's recommendation—why Louis Walsh might just be the perfect Ofsted inspector. 📜 The most bizarre (and concerning) things kids have told their teachers about their parents’ jobs 🚨 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. This episode is packed with laughs, relatable rants, and a little bit of chaos—so grab a brew (or maybe something stronger) and enjoy! 🎟️ Two Mr Ps LIVE Tour: Don’t forget to grab your tickets for the Two Mr Ps Live Tour—coming to a city near you in October half-term 2025 & February half-term 2026.
