In Episode 61, The Stunt Brothers kick things off with Martin unpacking the meaning of Occam’s Razor, a phrase he seems to enjoy saying almost as much as, “How do you like them apples!” From there, the conversation turns to the end of spring break and British Columbia’s move to permanent daylight saving time, sparking mixed reactions from After the Bell listeners. Roy and Martin share some of the most spirited and thought-provoking responses. Roy then recounts a substitute teaching experience that took an immediate and unexpected turn: arriving at a new school only to be told he’d be escorting a class to an assembly. That moment triggers a series of flashbacks to past “assembly traumas,” including the time he had his students hand over contraband before leaving the classroom. The haul? Pencils, paper airplanes, erasers, markers, a Rubik’s Cube, a tin of slime, a deck of cards and even a pair of scissors. The episode wraps up with a reflection on the role that assemblies play in the social fabric of schools, along with some stories of assemblies gone wrong and right, and that unforgettable rite of passage: the moment Grade 7 students finally ascend to the pinnacle of elementary school seating the wooden bench. This episode will make you laugh, or at the very least, have you thinking about your own assembly experiences. Do you remember Mr. Doobee, Sparky, or the North Vancouver firefighters?
