LO: To Wonder How Some Teachers Have Time For Scandal When We Don't Get A Minute For The Toilet

Episode 239 is a big one. Recorded straight after another padel match that very much did not go Mr P’s way, this episode starts with sore bodies, bruised egos, and the familiar ritual of over-analysing a loss like it’s a post-match Sky Sports interview. There’s tour admin to get through too, with the February half-term shows now dangerously close, a final push for Liverpool, and the lads officially back on the road next week.
The episode then shifts into one of the most relatable blind rankings yet: the top things parents do that grind teachers’ gears. From WhatsApp group gossip and unlabeled jumpers to late pick-ups and end-of-day ambush chats, it’s a brutally honest ranking that will have teachers nodding along and parents quietly rethinking their life choices.
From there, things take a turn into awkwardness territory. The lads unpack things that happen in films that would be deeply uncomfortable or completely unrealistic in real life, before spiralling into everyday social situations that make people inexplicably cringe. 
Listener-submitted stories remind everyone that working with children is not for the faint-hearted, featuring bodily fluids, questionable hygiene choices, and moments that genuinely test a teacher’s gag reflex. There’s even one incident involving an Ofsted inspector that might just restore your faith in karma.
The final stretch of the episode dives headfirst into full-blown school scandal. Affairs, stock cupboards, staffroom gossip, inappropriate relationships, shocking betrayals, and some jaw-dropping real-life stories that feel more like soap opera plotlines than actual workplaces. It all culminates in a real news story which leaves the lads equal parts horrified, stunned, and laughing in disbelief.
As ever, the episode ends with a reminder that if you think your week’s been bad, it probably hasn’t been that bad. Dark, chaotic, and outrageously funny, Episode 239 is not one for the faint-hearted, but it’s classic Two Mr Ps chaos from start to finish.
