Summary
Recorded on the first day back after the Christmas break, Episode 235 kicks off with the lads doing what every teacher and school worker is doing right now: pretending they’re “refreshed” while their soul quietly leaves their body. Adam shares a very real festive debrief, with Christmas containing some genuinely lovely moments… and some properly tough ones too, as Max struggles with the change of routine and sleep goes fully off the rails. New Year’s resolutions get a run through, with Adam aiming to sort his eating out (less “accidental fasting followed by a massive pig out”) and the purchase of a new air fryer being presented as the fresh start nobody asked for. Mr P’s resolution is a bit more existential: better phone habits, less doom scrolling, more control over screen time… which is tricky when social media has basically built the whole Mr P empire. He also shares a genuinely terrifying first day back journey involving ice, sliding, and a lorry that nearly turned inset day into a very dramatic insurance claim. From there, the episode shifts into a proper 2025 rewind: favourite films, TV series, trends, songs, and best moments. There’s love for the tour, big family memories, and some surprisingly wholesome reflection, including Mr P’s proudest dad moment of the year. Then it’s straight into what the podcast does best: kids being absolutely unhinged. Adam brings a run of savage pupil comments (including brutal body comments, classic “you’re too old to marry”, and some questions that should never be asked out loud). Mr P adds more of the funniest things teachers have heard, including the sort of innocent one-liners that are hilarious… until you remember you’re the adult in the room and you’re meant to keep a straight face. 📬 Want your story featured on the pod?
