LO: To Realise You Are Officially Older Than Santa Claus!
Podcast: Two Mr Ps in a Pod(Cast)Published On: Wed Dec 03 2025
Description: Recorded on the first of December, this episode kicks off with full on festive chat as the lads talk advent calendars, Centre Parcs prices, the joy and absolute faff of Christmas with kids, and the emotional shift from doing the full Father Christmas and elf on the shelf routine to having slightly older children who still love it but in a different way. There is a proper bit of reflection on nostalgia and ageing, from childhood Christmas traditions and Blue Peter badges to the brutal moment you realise you are now older than the characters you grew up watching in classic Christmas films. The big news this week is a huge announcement about the Let That Be A Lesson tour. After selling over fifteen thousand tickets for the current run, the boys reveal that the tour is being extended with brand new dates across the country in October 2026 and February 2027, giving more teachers and school staff the chance to come out, switch off and have a night of classroom chaos stories in real life. This week’s thread looks at things in the UK that have quietly disappeared without anyone really noticing. There is also a run of teacher fails that will make every member of school staff feel instantly better about their own week. From classroom mishaps to unfortunate wording and tech disasters, it is a reminder that everyone in schools is permanently one tired moment away from unintentional chaos. The episode rounds off with a call for Christmas stories for the upcoming festive special: nativity disasters, staff do confessions, dodgy presents, and anything brilliantly chaotic from the Christmas season. 📬 Want your story featured on the pod?
