LO: To know the difference between a work mate and a work colleague

Welcome back to another episode of Two Mr P’s in a Podcast – Season 8, Episode 23!
After a short break, the two Mr P’s are back and firing on all cylinders, bringing you another jam-packed episode full of hilarious teacher tales, cringe-worthy moments, and eyebrow-raising confessions. Whether you’re listening on your commute, hiding in the stock cupboard for a moment of peace, or winding down after a long day in the classroom, this episode is guaranteed to bring plenty of laughs.
The lads get stuck into the latest Netflix must-watch, Adolescence, a show that’s equal parts gripping and terrifying for anyone working with young people. They break down the dangers of mobile phones and social media, why it’s more relevant than ever for teachers and parents, and the shocking reality of what students are exposed to online. Mr P shares his thoughts on why kids should probably never have phones in school, while Adam reflects on how the show left him wide-eyed and unable to sleep.
Elsewhere, the brothers explore some of the most ridiculously dumb things people have ever said, from jaw-dropping misunderstandings to moments of sheer stupidity that will have you questioning everything. Whether it's a teacher convinced that ducks have four legs or a colleague who believes Halloween could one day fall on Friday the 13th, expect plenty of second-hand embarrassment and uncontrollable laughter.
Of course, no episode would be complete without a classic school fail—and this week’s highlight is an all-time awkward moment in the staffroom. A teacher spends 15 full minutes pouring their heart out about a struggling student… Safe to say, the person they were speaking to was in no position to offer much pastoral support!
