Episode Details

Halloween is scary enough. But what about the Sunday Scaries?

In Episode 91 of After The Bell, Martin and Roy celebrate their first-ever Halloween episode by exploring some of the things that keep teachers awake at night. From the Sunday night dread of returning to school to the anxiety created by doom scrolling and the constant stream of troubling news, the Stunt Brothers take a look at why so many of us feel overwhelmed—and what we can do about it.

With Halloween approaching, our duo share some spooky teaching memories, including haunted houses, dry ice experiments, trick-or-treating, fireworks, and one unforgettable dog that took off running up Grouse Mountain!

But beneath the laughs is a serious conversation about teacher well-being, unrealistic weekend expectations, social media overload, and the growing feeling that the world is becoming too much to handle.

In this episode, we explore:

🎃 The Sunday Scaries: Why Sunday nights can bring anxiety about Monday morning, unfinished work, classroom challenges, and everything waiting for us at school.
