Über diesen Titel

 Recorded on the very last stretch of half term, Episode 240 is a full-throttle, no-holds-barred pre-tour episode that somehow squeezes in tour hype, wholesome dad moments, pure school chaos, and some of the most jaw-dropping listener stories yet. The episode kicks off with big tour energy as the lads count down to hitting the road, with Edinburgh and Newcastle up first and a final rallying cry for Liverpool later in the month. There’s a heartfelt shoutout to their dad, usual tour driver and provider of legendary anecdotes, who’s currently recovering from a knee replacement and sitting this run out. Then it’s straight back into podcast territory with another blind ranking, this time tackling annual school events. Parents’ evenings, nativity performances, sports days, residentials, fairs, and World Book Day all get thrown into the mix, sparking plenty of debate, mild regret, and strong opinions that teachers will instantly relate to. The bulk of the episode leans hard into listener submissions, starting with brilliantly silly misunderstandings and misheard phrases that people have believed for years, ranging from song lyrics and celebrity names to everyday sayings that suddenly make sense far too late in life. It’s comforting, hilarious, and mildly alarming how many adults are just confidently wrong. Things then escalate into a long run of “how are you still alive?” stories, featuring breathtaking lapses in common sense. it’s a reminder that if you’re going to be dumb, you really do have to be tough. The second half has more school scandal stories. Affairs, shocking rumours, staffroom gossip, wildly inappropriate behaviour, safeguarding nightmares, and the sheer madness that somehow happens in school. The episode finishes strong with a mix of classic teacher horror stories and absolute gold-standard cringe. Chaotic, hilarious, and completely unfiltered, Episode 240 is a proper end-of-half-term brain dump. Equal parts laughter and disbelief, it’s exactly the kind of episode you want before a break… or before seeing the lads live on tour. ​📬 Want your story featured on the pod?
