From private tours of the Houses of Parliament to interviewing the Education Secretary and seeing the famous red ministerial box up close, it's a brilliant reminder of what young people can achieve when given incredible opportunities. Lee reflects on just how proud he was of the children and why experiences like these restore your faith in education.<br />There's also discussion around a new national survey highlighting how much the public values teachers, why appreciation means more than expensive gifts and how a simple thank you can make all the difference as another busy school year draws to a close.<br />Football fans are in for a treat too, as the lads relive England's dramatic victory and discuss why this squad feels different. They celebrate the resilience, passion and togetherness shown by the team before taking on a brand new blind ranking challenge, deciding which England legends would make the best pupils in the classroom.<br />Elsewhere, the thread of the week looks back at things that happened in schools years ago that simply wouldn't be allowed today. From blackboard dusters flying across classrooms and teachers publicly humiliating pupils, to smoking demonstrations, terrifying swimming lessons and some truly unbelievable stories from the 1980s and 1990s, it's equal parts hilarious and horrifying.<br />Finally, the Sports Day stories continue with another collection of wonderfully chaotic tales. Expect over competitive parents, broken bones, collapsing gazebos, wardrobe malfunctions, beer hidden in backpacks, bribery attempts, cocaine discoveries, parents arriving in full athletics gear and enough sporting disasters to make any PE coordinator question why they ever agreed to organise Sports Day in the first place.<br /><br /><span style="color:rgb(63, 63, 63); font-weight:700">&#128236; Want your story or question featured on the pod?

With temperatures soaring, an England World Cup campaign underway and the ever-present threat of an Ofsted call, it's a survival guide for teachers trying to make it to the end of term with their sanity intact.<br /><span></span>The conversation then takes an unexpected turn into politics as Lee shares his frustrations about the current state of government, leadership and public discourse. It's a passionate discussion about patience, accountability, social media, the pressures facing modern politicians and why meaningful change often feels impossible in a world that demands instant results.<br /><span></span>Elsewhere, Mr P reports back from seeing Take That live, prompting a nostalgic trip through the glory days of boy bands. Naturally, this leads to a blind ranking packed with questionable decisions, strong opinions and the sort of debate that could end friendships.<br /><span></span>There's also a discussion about one school's decision to remove teachers' desks and chairs entirely, sparking a wider conversation about trust, workload, classroom expectations and some of the stranger leadership decisions schools make in the name of improving teaching.<br /><span></span>As always, the listener stories steal the show. Expect tales of public embarrassment, disastrous train journeys, awkward encounters with strangers, unfortunate wardrobe malfunctions and enough second-hand cringe to make you hide behind a cushion. Back in school, there are plenty more classic pupil moments too, including accidental oversharing, spectacular misunderstandings, brutally honest children and the sort of comments that leave teachers desperately trying not to laugh.<br /><span></span>The episode finishes with a look at the strange habits that instantly give away anyone over thirty, from keeping boxes for everything and printing photos, to making phone calls, using proper punctuation and committing the ultimate Gen Z crime: sitting quietly with your own thoughts.&nbsp;<br /><br />&#8203;<span style="color:rgb(63, 63, 63); font-weight:700">&#128236; Want your story or question featured on the pod?

Lee and Adam talk through phones, attention spans, online safety, loneliness, youth clubs, boredom and why children need better alternatives than just being told to &ldquo;go outside&rdquo; like it&rsquo;s 1998 and Snake on a Nokia is the height of entertainment.<br />There&rsquo;s also a look at the wider impact of social media on schools, from behaviour and friendships to the way trends, language and online drama somehow always end up landing in classrooms by 9:05am. As always, it becomes less &ldquo;education policy discussion&rdquo; and more &ldquo;how are schools expected to fix absolutely everything?&rdquo;<br />The episode then takes a very strange turn with a bizarre education story involving hypnosis in a school, because apparently the job description wasn&rsquo;t already weird enough. There&rsquo;s also a blind ranking of end-of-year traditions, with the usual mix of strong opinions, questionable logic and Adam trying to keep some sort of order.<br />Finally, the listener stories bring the usual chaos. Expect tales of pupil madness, staff exhaustion, end-of-term survival mode and the sort of classroom moments that make you laugh, wince and immediately think: &ldquo;That&rsquo;s going straight on CPOMS.&rdquo;<br /><br />&#8203;<span style="color:rgb(63, 63, 63); font-weight:700">&#128236; Want your story or question featured on the pod?

Adam opens up about leaving his latest role and finding himself in that strange in-between stage of weighing up new opportunities, signing up for supply work and figuring out what comes next.<br />Two new features this week. First - THE BIG QUESTION from a listener focuses&nbsp;around the Department for Education's controversial collaboration with <span>Gemma Collins</span>. Lee shares his experiences of working with the DfE, meeting Education Secretary <span>Bridget Phillipson</span> and explains the challenge of trying to represent teachers' concerns while still maintaining access to decision makers. The conversation dives into SEND reforms, teacher workload, government communication and why so many teachers and parents felt frustrated by the timing of the campaign.<br />The there's IN THIS WEEK'S NEWS... There's also a look at two bizarre education news stories making headlines. One involves a teacher who called in sick before being spotted on a stag do in Portugal, while the other features a headteacher accused of some very questionable spending decisions involving school funds, cruises and karaoke machines.&nbsp;<br />Elsewhere, there's a discussion about the latest playground obsession with <span>Michael Jackson</span>, memories of legendary school productions, and whether social media trends are any stranger than the things pupils were obsessed with in the 1990s.<br />The blind ranking returns with a fiercely contested list of classic school dinner desserts. Expect strong opinions on Arctic Roll, Cornflake Tart, Sprinkle Cake, Jelly and Ice Cream, Rice Pudding and the iconic Chocolate Cake with Pink Custard. Some of the rankings may cause outrage.<br />Finally, the listener stories are back and they might be some of the funniest yet. From children calling teachers "King of Crying", to pupils wiping tables with ham, swinging dead moles around the playground and attempting prison-style escapes via manholes, it's another reminder that no workplace produces stories quite like schools.&nbsp;<br /><br /><span style="color:rgb(63, 63, 63); font-weight:700">&#128236; Want your story or question&nbsp;featured on the pod?

SATs are finally done, but before anyone starts skipping into summer like they&rsquo;re in a feel-good montage, the lads quickly remind everyone that the final half term is anything but calm. Reports, sports days, transitions, residentials, productions and the emotional roulette of finding out next year&rsquo;s class all get a mention. Lovely. Peaceful. Relaxing. Absolutely not.<br />There&rsquo;s also a big build-up to the biggest live show the Two Mr Ps have ever done at The Lowry in Salford, with just a handful of tickets left and the show being filmed. No pressure then.<br />From there, the lads get into a chat about parents, family stories and the little things that make every household slightly odd. It starts with the boys getting in trouble for things they&rsquo;ve said about their own mum and dad on the podcast, before spiralling into a thread about the strange but brilliant things parents do. Some are sweet, some are baffling and some are the kind of thing you only realise isn&rsquo;t normal when you say it out loud in front of other people.<br />There&rsquo;s also a listener question asking what the brothers admire about each other and what drives them mad. It gets unexpectedly wholesome for about 14 seconds before returning to the usual level of sibling irritation. Balance restored.<br />This week&rsquo;s blind ranking is classic school dinners, which sparks a proper nostalgic debate about turkey twizzlers, cheese whirls, watery veg and the undisputed glory of school pizza. Then the episode dives into listener stories, including early years chaos, questionable show and tell items, awkward school conversations and the sort of incidents that remind you teachers really do need danger money.<br />The lads also run through some of the funniest reasons teachers have had to tell children off, from the ridiculous to the completely unhinged. It&rsquo;s the kind of section that makes anyone outside education think, &ldquo;Surely that didn&rsquo;t happen,&rdquo; while every teacher listening just nods and goes, &ldquo;Yep. Standard Tuesday.&rdquo;<br />And to finish, there&rsquo;s a brand-new feature: a ridiculous &ldquo;would you rather&rdquo; style dilemma for listeners to get involved in. First up: Donald Trump as a pupil in your class for a half term, or Katie Hopkins as a parent for a full year. Horrific either way. Like choosing between wet play and a staff meeting about wellbeing.<br /><br />&#8203;<span style="color:rgb(63, 63, 63); font-weight:700">&#128236; Want your story featured on the pod?

There&rsquo;s also some pre-show nerves creeping in ahead of the biggest live podcast show they&rsquo;ve ever done at <span>The Lowry</span>, with family, friends, colleagues and even headteachers all heading along to watch.<br />There&rsquo;s a chat about school podcasts too, with Mr P talking about getting children involved in creating their own school podcast and how brilliant it&rsquo;s been for confidence, writing and giving pupils a genuine sense of purpose and ownership.<br />From there, things descend into wedding chaos as the lads react to a thread about the wildest things people have witnessed at weddings. It quickly becomes clear that no wedding is safe from disaster. The episode then moves into a brilliant discussion around phrases and sayings people completely mispronounce or misunderstand. It&rsquo;s one of those conversations where you suddenly realise half the population has been confidently saying things wrong for years and nobody&rsquo;s corrected them. The lads spiral into the sort of confusion that makes you question whether you&rsquo;ve been saying common phrases properly your entire life.<br />There&rsquo;s also a surprisingly deep conversation about school staff rooms and workplace culture after a listener shares a story about being banned from using the staff room during work experience. That leads into this week&rsquo;s blind ranking: school red flags. Expectations around workload, wellbeing culture, unpaid extras and toxic school habits all get thrown into the mix as the lads debate which warning signs are the biggest indicators that a school might not be quite as supportive as it claims to be.<br />Then comes a huge run of hilarious SATs answers, classroom misunderstandings and accidental pupil comebacks. And by the end of the episode, it&rsquo;s complete classroom carnage. Quick-fire one-liners, savage pupil responses, accidental insults and absolute chaos from start to finish. One of those episodes where you spend half the time laughing and the other half wondering how teachers survive a full week without losing their minds.<br /><br />&#128236; Want your story featured on the pod?

October half term gets the respect it deserves for saving everyone from that brutal first stretch, Christmas gets called out for not actually being a &ldquo;break&rdquo;, and February half term takes a bit of a battering. Naturally, the summer holidays come out on top, followed by a proper rant about why they absolutely should not be shortened &mdash; and how the real issue isn&rsquo;t schools, it&rsquo;s the wider pressures on families. There&rsquo;s also a nostalgic detour into what summer used to look like&hellip; playing out all day, making games up on the spot, and surviving things like &ldquo;10 and you&rsquo;re dead&rdquo; without any adult supervision. A reminder that boredom wasn&rsquo;t a problem, it was the starting point for everything.<br />Then it takes a turn. A thread on the most cringe things people have seen at weddings delivers exactly what you&rsquo;d expect&hellip; and worse. We&rsquo;re talking public oversharing at the altar, couples counting cash gifts in front of guests, Disney mascot outfits, painfully awkward first dances, and some truly baffling &ldquo;creative&rdquo; choices that should never have left the planning stage.<br />And then&hellip; the main event.<br />Mr P brings in a listener challenge: ranking the most awkward places teachers have bumped into parents. What follows is absolute carnage.&nbsp;It&rsquo;s one of those episodes where you laugh, wince, and feel slightly better about your own worst moments&hellip; because it could always be worse.<br />Much worse.<br /><br /><span style="color:rgb(63, 63, 63); font-weight:700">&#128236; Want your story featured on the pod?

Adam shares the reality of a family holiday abroad. Meanwhile, Mr P embraces the complete opposite approach and does absolutely nothing, other than going all-in on a serious binge of <span>Game of Thrones</span> with the boys, reliving iconic moments and questioning just how much unnecessary nudity was really needed.<br />There&rsquo;s also a relatable rant about bank holidays landing in the middle of school breaks (the ultimate teacher scam), the chaos of holiday resort shops, and one very creative bit of parenting on how to explain a questionable t-shirt slogan to a curious child without opening a can of worms you&rsquo;re not ready for.<br />From there, it&rsquo;s straight into a brilliant thread of &ldquo;oops&rdquo; moments, and honestly, it&rsquo;s the kind of content that makes you feel instantly better about your own worst day.&nbsp; The episode then shifts into classic school chaos with a run of things children have said that are equal parts ridiculous and genius. From accidental one-liners to completely unfiltered honesty, it&rsquo;s a reminder that kids will always find a way to humble you in seconds. There&rsquo;s also a listener dilemma around a colleague not pulling their weight, leading to a really honest conversation about boundaries, workload, and the reality of working in teams. No sugar-coating, just practical advice about having those slightly awkward but necessary conversations and protecting your own time without taking on everyone else&rsquo;s.&nbsp;The final section is a full-on deep dive into the most shocking things people have witnessed in schools, and it is absolute carnage. We&rsquo;re talking animals appearing in classrooms, completely inappropriate show and tell items, chaotic behaviour that you couldn&rsquo;t make up, and moments that range from hilarious to genuinely unbelievable. The infamous &ldquo;Viagra incident&rdquo; alone is worth the listen.<br />It&rsquo;s one of those episodes that perfectly sums up school life. Exhausting, unpredictable, occasionally ridiculous&hellip; but always full of stories you&rsquo;ll be telling for years.<br /><br />&#8203;<span style="color:rgb(63, 63, 63); font-weight:700">&#128236; Want your story featured on the pod?

From there, the episode takes a funny turn into sport, recognition in public and some classic grassroots sport observations, including kids shamelessly copying professional footballers and bringing full Premier League energy to very low-stakes matches.<br /><br />The main thread of the episode is all about the funniest and most painful faux pas people have ever made, and it is packed with properly toe-curling stories.&nbsp; There&rsquo;s also another blind ranking, this time focused on classic UK playground games, which brings up all the old-school chaos of British Bulldog, Red Rover, Kiss Chase and the rest. The second half of the episode is classic school-story gold. There&rsquo;s a listener dilemma about a colleague who never comes into the staff room, followed by a long run of completely ridiculous things people have witnessed in schools.&nbsp;<br /><br />As always, the episode finishes with the kind of school-based madness that makes you question how any teacher gets through the week with their sanity intact. It&rsquo;s packed with awkward moments, unbelievable stories, and the sort of staffroom-style laughter that makes the whole profession feel just a little bit more survivable.<br /><br /><span></span>&#128236; Want your story featured on the pod?
