Transcript

Speaker 9  03:23

Okay, now who can tell me how many days are in a woman’s menstrual cycle? Yes, Danny.

Speaker 10  03:33

Women aren’t the only ones who menstruate.

Speaker 9  03:35

Pardon me.

Speaker 10  03:36

It’s the wrong word to use. You’re leaving out non-binary people and trans-men.

Speaker 9  03:44

Thank you, Dani, for the reminder.

Speaker 2  03:48

We’ve been doing sex ed since sixth grade but never with the same teachers. Last year. It was Miss Paisley who retired and Mr. Stack who was caught sexting his son’s girlfriend. Oh, he got fired. But it was a whole thing because lots of kids really liked him. Me. I always thought he was weird. Anyways, this year, we have a new team, Mrs. Winterbottom.

Speaker 9  04:10

Who can answer my question. How many days are in a person’s menstrual cycle?

Speaker 4  04:18

Everybody knows it’s four weeks.

Speaker 2  04:21

And coach.

Speaker 4  04:22

That’s why we call it that time of the month.

Speaker 9  04:29

It was a trick question. Four weeks or 28 days is merely the length of an average cycle, not the length of every cycle. Wouldn’t it be nice if our eggs had a calendar? Oh no. An app, a calendar app. And once a month they got a notification. Ding ding, little eggy, hello, it’s time to drop. But of course that’s not how it works. cycles can be quite irregular.

Speaker 4  05:01

They’re kids, Mrs. W, they got decades before the old hot flashes kick in.

Speaker 9  05:06

I’m not talking about menopause. Perhaps you don’t know as much about female anatomy as you think you do.

Speaker 2  05:19

Back to our regular programming in just a minute. First very important message from Seb. AKA the person sitting in front of me. Oh, and for those of you who don’t pass actual notes, because you have a phone like a normal person, and you just text under your desk, passing a note is like, it’s like sending a text but in slow mo.

Speaker 6  05:43

Hey, you got some zappinin in your hair.

Speaker 2  05:46

What’s zappinin?

Speaker 4  05:54

Oh, please, Mrs. W. I know plenty about female anatomy, okay? Way more than females ever think I will. Thank you very much. But go on. No, no, no. You were saying something about eggs with a calendar app?

Speaker 9  06:07

With no calendar app.

Speaker 4  06:09

Yeah, right. With no calendar app.

Speaker 6  06:13

Yes. Please tell me what is happening right now?

Speaker 2  06:18

Oh, oh, no idea. Dot dot dot. The Smiley face.

Speaker 9  06:27

Listen, kids. What I’m about to tell you. The curriculum does not cover it. But boy do I wish someone had said this to me when I was coming of age.

Speaker 4  06:39

Sex ed secrets with Mrs. Winterbottom.

Speaker 9  06:44

Children. Periods are bananas. Just absolutely bananas. Let’s say you’re lucky and you have a predictable pattern. Your period comes every four weeks or three weeks, or even five weeks, whatever it is. It’s consistent for a long time. Yes, maybe. But then out of the blue. It’s late.

Speaker 4  07:11

Whoa, I think you’re getting ahead of yourself. Mrs. W. We’re not talking about birth control until tomorrow.

Speaker 9  07:18

No. This is exactly my point. I late period does not equal pregnancy. Not always. Sometimes your period is just late. And sometimes it’s early. Extremely early. Did you know that sometimes women menstruate twice in a single month

Speaker 10  07:42

People sometimes men straight twice in a single month.

Speaker 9  07:47

Please, could you stop correcting me Dani, you understand what I mean? This is valuable information. Especially for youngsters like you. Your periods may very well be bonkers. Why? Because of raging hormones, because of stress.

Speaker 4  08:08

Okay, okay. Okay, Mrs. W. Let’s not scare the kids, please.

Speaker 9  08:11

I’m not scaring them. I’m empowering them.

Speaker 2  08:16

Who look what just landed another slow-mo text.

Speaker 6  08:23

OMFG. They are so horny for each other.

Speaker 2  08:29

Drawing of coaches face plus sign, drawing up Mrs. Winterbottom’s face with horns on their heads. And Hearts. Hearts Hearts. Hearts. Hearts. Hearts. Hearts all around. So many hearts

Speaker 9  09:01

Let’s talk about discharge.

Speaker 4  09:04

Yeah, must we?

Speaker 9  09:08

Vaginal Discharge can be white and sticky like paste or clear and stringy like egg whites or anywhere in between.

Speaker 4  09:24

That’s funny. I would have pegged you as more of a paste guy.

Speaker 9  09:26

Oh, coach. Not appropriate.

Speaker 4  09:30

What? No. I’m just saying that. I bet he ate paste in kindergarten.

Speaker 2  09:35

I bet after school coach eats paste of Miss W.

Speaker 6  09:42

I bet they use egg whites as lube.

Speaker 9  09:44

So as I was saying anything that looks like paste or egg whites is completely normal.

Speaker 4  09:54

Okay, can we do this a little less graphic Mrs. W?

Speaker 9  09:57

I’m not being graphic. I’m being descriptive. But if the color of your discharge is say, yellow, green, it’s time to see a doctor.

Speaker 6  10:11

What if it glows in the dark?

Speaker 4  10:15

That would be cool, but it doesn’t happen. There are condoms, though that do glow in the dark.

Speaker 5  10:20

Wow, […]

Speaker 9  10:24

Can everybody focus please?

Speaker 2 10:27

Sorry, Mrs. W, we’ll be good.

Speaker 9  10:30

I’ve got news for you all, living a long time means you’ve had lots of experience. And that includes relationships. And yes, sex too. And let’s just say some things would have been much easier for me if I had known more about the female reproductive system. Coach, we have an opportunity here an opportunity to make the next generation less squeamish about what actually happens with girls and women’s bodies. And yes, Dani, I know what you’re going to say, transgender, too. I promise you, your lives will all be better if you know more about discharge. And so I’m going to tell you everything I know about discharge, you may find it uncomfortable now. But in 10-20 years, you are going to thank me.

Speaker 4  11:30

Where you’ll probably still be having nightmares.

Speaker 9  11:33

Coach, this may not be a concern for a bachelor like yourself. But I’m willing to bet that the majority of these students will try to become parents one day. And let me tell you, getting pregnant is not always easy. It’s all a big mess of fertility issues and proper timing. But how do you even get your timing right if your period is unreliable? Discharge, discharge is your answer. When your discharge looks like egg whites, guess what? That’s when you’re fired all. That’s when you should try. And how do you figure out your discharge consistency? All you need to do is squat down, slide these two fingers inside your vagina and voila, see what you’ve pulled out.

Speaker 4  12:30

Okay, thanks so much for that Mrs. W. Now, kids, just to be clear, no matter what your vaginal discharge looks like, it’s no excuse to skip birth control.

Speaker 5  12:42

Is it true? They make edible condoms?

Speaker 4  12:46

Do they? I don’t know. It seems like that would kind of defeat the purpose. Right?

Speaker 9  12:49

I hope at least some of you have absorbed what I’ve been telling you today.

Speaker 4  12:57

Absorb? I don’t really know if that’s an innuendo.

Speaker 9  13:01

I know these topics can be hard to process.

Speaker 4  13:07

There it is. Okay, well, that’s pretty good segue into my area of expertise. Let’s talk about male anatomy. With penises? Yes, Dani people with penises.

Speaker 10  13:20

Welcome to the 21st century.

Speaker 4  13:23

All right. All right. This is pretty simple. Here, folks. Here we have what’s called a flaccid penis. Now it’s nothing to be ashamed of. He’s just a little sleepy. Right here. We have an erect penis. Okay, starting to get interesting. Now I’m sure everybody here knows this. But the flaccid penis stands at attention and becomes erect when it is what? When it is aroused. See, and the erect penis then reaches its pinnacle of arousal. And it ejaculates, okay, so you got your little spermies right here. They shoot out all over the place. They’re swimming everywhere. This guy’s going over here. This guy is going to look at this guy. He’s smiling. Yeah, sorry. Got a little carried away there. Spermies don’t actually have eyeballs. Let me just try to fix this here. Now this isn’t erasing what is going on with this stupid thing.

Speaker 10  14:20

Coach, that’s permanent marker.

Speaker 4  14:22

No, it’s not. Is it? Oh shoot. Yep. Right you are Dani. It most certainly is.

Speaker 6  16:50

Obviously, dogs are better. Obviously. What kind of person likes cats? I guess you would though. You’re such a pussy.

Speaker 2  16:59

Don’t call her that.

Speaker 10  17:00

I honestly don’t mind being called a vagina. Vaginas rule. They’re better than dicks and better than dogs too.

Speaker 7  17:10

Dogs when they win every time. They’re there for you no matter what and cats. I mean, pussies are nuts. Dogs are a man’s best friend.

Speaker 10  17:22

Except you’re not a man yet. Are you?

Speaker 7  17:25

Go fuck yourself in the Pussy. Pussy.

Speaker 2  17:29

How do you do that?

Speaker 10  17:32

I’m not sure. Must be why your mom has a great vegetable garden.

Speaker 2  17:37

That’s what I mean. How do you always have the perfect comeback?

Speaker 10  17:41

I don’t know. I guess I used to be like you. I took shit from people because I believed they were right. That I was fat and ugly and whatever else they called me. But then I realized nobody liked me anyway. It’s not like I could say anything that would make things worse. So I just decided to stop acting like a victim.

Speaker 2  18:06

But I’m not acting, like I did the WAG thing. I yelled. God sucks at the top of my lungs.

Speaker 10  18:11

That was one time and it wasn’t even to his face. Look. It is a choice. Noa, are you going to be a victim forever?

Speaker 2  18:20

You can’t just like flip a switch and be a different person.

Speaker 10  18:23

Oh my God, it is not that hard. These people they think they know who you are. When they say shit to you just be someone else.

Speaker 6  18:36

Guess who?

Speaker 2  18:37

Seb, I know it’s you as soon as you cover my eyes it’s always you.

Speaker 6  18:42

man those kids sound like they’ve got some serious zappinin up their butts.

Speaker 10  18:48

What’s zappinin?

Speaker 6  18:49

I don’t know, looks like maybe a boys versus girls thing?

Speaker 10  18:58

But seriously what in the actual fuck is happening? Oh, oh my god. Either populars turning on each other.

Speaker 2  19:06

The Olivia’s are not popular.

Speaker 10  19:08

They are now. O, is at least people are saying she might topple Brielle for Queen Bee.

Speaker 6  19:13

Want to go see what’s up?

Speaker 10  19:15

Yeah.

Speaker 11  19:22

Why don’t you just own up to it? Yeah. It’s not a big deal.

Speaker 12  19:26

You’re the one who’s making it a big deal Hunter. And I’m not owning up to it because it’s not what fucking happened.

Speaker 10  19:36

What are you all freaking out about?

Speaker 12  19:38

Oh, Hunter told everyone that O, spat. She didn’t. She swallowed.

Speaker 6  19:46

How do you know Livi, you weren’t there?

Speaker 12  19:48

Because I’ve known her since pre-K. And she doesn’t lie.

Speaker 13  19:53

Yo, back me up. what did I tell you this morning.

Speaker 12  19:57

Don’t drag me into this.

Speaker 10  19:58

This has got to be the dumbest fight I’ve ever heard seriously, spit or swallow? Who cares? Debate something real. Abortion, politics, women’s suffrage? Let’s talk about tenement square.

Speaker 12  20:16

Hunter. Nobody gives a shit.

Speaker 2  20:21

Okay, so I think you know by now, I am not a fan of O, or Livi or any of the Olivia’s at this point, but I’m gonna have to agree with them. Who cares if O spat or swallowed? Doesn’t everyone do both?

Speaker 11  20:37

It matters, if you’re a guy one way is right and the other is just.

Speaker 10  20:44

As if you know anything. You’re not even allowed to take sex ed.

Speaker 11  20:50

Okay, don’t mock my religion. What is this the war on Christmas?

Speaker 10  20:53

No, this is about the war you declared on O, when you decided that spitting was wrong.

Speaker 2  21:00

Wait. Spitting what?

Speaker 11  21:05

Okay, awoke girl. Which do you think is better?

Speaker 10  21:11

Well, first of all, neither if we’re talking about you, but this is a rich question. It’s a lose lose. Either you offend the person or you’ve got jizz going down your throat.

Speaker 2  21:25

Wait, what? People swallow that?

Speaker 11  21:29

Sounds like someone has experience.

Speaker 12  21:39

Okay, Hunter. You really want everyone to know the truth?

Speaker 11  21:43

Yes. Obviously. That’s all I’ve been asking for.

Speaker 12  21:47

Truth is. You’re a terrible kisser. And you squeeze boobs like they’re oranges. So when I offered to get you off, it wasn’t because I wanted your tiny dick in my mouth. It was because I wanted you to stop touching me.

Speaker 11  22:01

O, you did not.

Speaker 2  22:03

Really? Do people swallow that?

Speaker 12  22:07

It is. I think three others. And yours is the tiniest.

Speaker 11  22:13

What?

Speaker 12  22:15

Yours wasn’t anything to brag about either.

Speaker 11  22:18

Wow. O. I didn’t realize you were so slutty.

Speaker 12  22:30

I’m sick and tired of people saying that. Guys just like me. They liked me at my old school and they liked me here. I can’t help it.

Speaker 6  22:39

Dude, Hunter just leave her alone.

Speaker 11  22:42

Okay, Seb. What do you think? If O went down on you would you want her to spit or swallow?

Speaker 12  22:49

Hello? I’m right here.

Speaker 6  22:51

I wouldn’t want her to do anything.

Speaker 11  22:55

Why not? She’s hot.

Speaker 12  22:59

Thanks. Sounds like you really mean it.

Speaker 11  23:02

Or am I asking the wrong questions, Seb? Should I be asking if you spit or swallow?

Speaker 6  23:08

No. No, I’m not. No. I mean, with O, swallow. Swallow, obviously. If I had that chance, of course I would. And it’s like you say her name is perfect. Right? O, it’s the shape your mouth makes.

Speaker 12  23:29

Even you, I thought you were nice. You guys are..

Speaker 11  23:35

That’s what you do. You know what’s up.

Speaker 2  23:42

He’s not, he’s not gay.

Speaker 11  23:44

I forgot your his sex slave. Okay sex slave how far […]?

 

Speaker 2  23:50

We’ve gone..

Speaker 6  23:51

You don’t have to answer.

Speaker 2  23:53

We’ve humped.

Speaker 2  23:55

You. Hump?

Speaker 11  24:00

Who says that?

Speaker 6  24:02

We said it, I asked her to do you want to hump and she said yes. And we did it.

Speaker 11  24:09

Sounds romantic.

Speaker 2  24:11

It was hot. Hot humping action.

Speaker 11  24:15

Okay, you’re lying.

Speaker 6  24:16

No, no, it’s true. We’ve done it more than once. A bunch of times.

Speaker 11  24:20

No, no way. You still gotta believe you’ve actually fucked?

Speaker 2  24:24

That’s not what humping mean.

Speaker 11  24:25

Okay, what do you think it means?

Speaker 2  24:27

Is the thing where you? You rub your parts together.

Speaker 6  24:30

Its grinding. We grind it.

Speaker 7  24:35

That’s not humping. That’s dry humping.

Speaker 11  24:38

Yeah, you idiot. Dry humping is through clothes. Humping is without.

Speaker 2  24:43

We weren’t wearing pants.

Speaker 11  24:47

Get your story straight.

Speaker 2  24:49

It was different, different times.

Speaker 6  24:53

But that is not humping. Humping is going all the way.

Speaker 8  24:57

No it’s not, think about dogs.

Speaker 11  25:00

Nobody asked you a little God.

Speaker 8  25:02

Dogs hump all the time against the couch against your leg. They’re not doing it with your leg. They’re just humping.

Speaker 11  25:10

Whatever, you don’t know shit about sex stuff.

Speaker 8  25:12

God knows everything about sex stuff. I invented sex stuff. And I’d say it all right now, except I’m not allowed to talk to Noa. So maybe later, see ya. Definitely gonna follow up on that.

Speaker 7  25:28

Hey, I looked it up. humping is it’s confusing. So many different definitions. There’s one. I don’t know.

Speaker 6  25:45

Then nobody’s right.

Speaker 11  25:47

It doesn’t matter what humping is, I don’t believe you did any of it. sex slave.

Speaker 2  25:52

We did.

Speaker 11  25:56

No, I’d rather be a slut it like sounds great.

Speaker 2  26:06

I just need to ask Hunter something.

Speaker 11  26:08

No, you’re not my type. Does that answer it?

Speaker 4  26:12

No. My question is why are you so mean?

Speaker 11  26:16

I’m not mean I’m funny. Like to take a joke.

Speaker 2  26:18

Is it? Because.

Speaker 11  26:19

Oh, what? Spit it out. Give me your worst.

Speaker 2  26:22

Is it because everyone thinks you killed your best friend?

Speaker 11  26:25

Did you seriously just say that to me?

Speaker 2  26:27

I’m just, I actually want to know why you think it’s okay to be awful to everyone.

Speaker 11  26:32

I don’t know what you think you’re doing right now. But you can just say things like that to people. Yeah, I like to joke around sometimes I’m a little harsh but Luca. Luca is dead. He’s dead. He’s never coming back. It’s not a joke. You want to talk about me? You just crossed the line. You weird. Quiet loser with no friends.

Speaker 6  26:52

I’m her friend. She has me.

Speaker 11  26:56

Oh, but not really, right? Or maybe you’re not who I thought you were?

Speaker 6  27:01

Maybe not.

Speaker 11  27:05

Okay. Have fun. Fake humping each other.

Speaker 6  27:16

Really humping? Why humping?

Speaker 2  27:23

Can we do this later. I’ve got an algebra test.

Speaker 6  27:29

Okay. Okay.

Speaker 2  27:32

You didn’t have to do that. You know?

Speaker 6  27:35

Do what?

Speaker 2  27:36

Breakup with those guys. Like you did it for me?

Speaker 6  27:41

I did. But fuck them. I got the better deal.

Speaker 2  28:58

So remember, our pals Mr. Placid, and Mr. Erect?

Speaker 4  29:06

Well, kids, I guess we’re sort of stuck with these guys for a little bit. Look, I don’t know what to tell you. I just I feel like a big schmo right now.

Speaker 9  29:18

Moral of the story. Don’t draw on a dry erase board with permanent marker.

Speaker 2  29:30

Long lived whoever snuck in and added more spermies, spermies with had spermies with sunglasses, spermies in bikinis, spermies climbing ladders.

Speaker 9  29:40

The janitors spent hours last night trying to deal with this business, but they just could not get it off.

Speaker 7  29:48

Well, the erect one is standing off.

Speaker 4  29:51

Hey, no, listen up. Everybody. Look none of that. Not today. Okay?

Speaker 6  29:55

Guess they had a really bad humping session last night.

Speaker 2  29:59

They just could not get it off.

Speaker 9  30:06

class will be a little different today, boys and girls. Dr. Rocklin should be making an announcement any minute.

Speaker 4  30:14

You know, you go through life kind of feeling like everything’s temporary right? But then all of a sudden one day something happens that’s permanent in you realize that. Not everything can be undone.

Speaker 16  30:29

Good morning, everyone.

Speaker 9  30:31

Ah, there she is. Class, let’s turn our attention to Dr. Rocklin.

Speaker 16  30:39

I apologize for this interruption. But I have some news to share, some absolutely devastating news.

Speaker 2  30:51

Dr. Rocklin hasn’t sounded like this since Luca Scott died.

Speaker 16  30:55

The faculty and staff have been notified. We’ve emailed your parents, and I wanted you to hear this news from me, before it starts circulating. A member of our community has passed. She was a mother. And a face you may have seen a lot around here because she was our PTA president. Her name is Julie. And her son Micah is an eighth grader here. You all know him of course, from our daily announcements. You may have noticed, we skipped those today. Micah is at home grieving and will not be in school for a while, but I encourage you to reach out to him. Let him know you care about him. That he and his family are in our thoughts and prayers. And now I asked for everyone to please join me in a moment of silence.

Speaker 6  32:03

God’s Mom, what the fuck?

Speaker 7  32:17

Thank you. Now, I want to say that over the coming days, you may hear some upsetting things about this tragedy. Remember that Miss Ramirez is available for counseling. We’re bringing in additional counselors too, just like last year when we lost Lucas Scott. Of course, you can always voice any of your fears or concerns to me. Teachers, I encourage you to use the rest of this period to discuss and process.

Speaker 9  32:52

Is there anything? Anyone would like to say?

Speaker 4  32:57

Yeah, I’ll go Ah, God, it’s just you know, it’s just it’s all too much. You know, first we had Luca and now we got Micah’s mom. It just makes you feel like oh, what am I even doing with my life? Sorry. Kids. Go ahead and feel free to speak up. Don’t worry about raising your hands. Let’s just all just share, you know?

Speaker 7  33:24

It was a murder. My dad said she was murdered.

Speaker 4  33:29

Okay, okay, my bad my bad, bad idea. I want to go back to raising your hands.

Speaker 9  33:35

And put your phones away

Speaker 4  33:46

am I a terrible person for feeling relieved? Like, God’s not going to be around at least for a while.

Speaker 6  33:53

Yes. You are. Terrible. I’m kidding. I’m kidding. Of course you’re relieved. I mean, honestly, I am too. So we’re both terrible.

Speaker 4  34:04

Don’t make me think I’m being terrible by myself.

Speaker 6  34:08

You’re gonna wreck all our hard work. […] Okay, okay, seriously though, we just break all that.

Speaker 4  34:18

We can just still leave floor from the gardeners in my neighbor’s yard.

Speaker 6  34:22

Okay, which one though? Is like gardeners in every yard, my junk?

Speaker 2  34:38

You’re like one of those sculptures with the fig leaf.

Speaker 6  34:42

Except it’s not a leaf. It’s lava. And oh, look out, what you’re going to the volcano.  They’re cool right? Heard they found her body in the woods? Probably in a pile of leaves, just like this.

Speaker 2  35:26

Don’t make me picture it said.

Speaker 6  35:28

Sorry. Sorry. I just I can’t stop thinking about it.

Speaker 2  35:34

I know. It’s just so weird. How does something like that having someone like her?

Speaker 6  35:40

I guess everyone’s got secrets.

Speaker 2  35:43

But like what secrets get you killed?

Speaker 6  35:47

I mean, my secret could get me killed. Like if I lived in Egypt. It definitely could.

Speaker 2  36:00

I know. I guess that’s why I said the humping thing before? Not that I thought hunter would kill you. But it was scary. I wanted to help you to keep you safe. But I don’t know. Maybe I made things worse.

Speaker 6  36:18

No, it was sweet. What’s your secret?

Speaker 2  36:30

I don’t have one.

Speaker 6  36:31

Come on. You know mine.

Speaker 2  36:36

Okay, but don’t laugh. I thought a blow job was when you blow on it. Like a trumpet. More like a dandelion. You promised.

Speaker 6  36:56

I’m not laughing at you. Okay, maybe a little. But it’s cute.

Speaker 2  37:06

My secret is I don’t want to be a prude.

Speaker 6  37:11

I was looking for some action.

Speaker 2  37:12

No. I mean, maybe, like, I think I might actually want to, you know, make out with someone.

Speaker 6  37:23

You’re so squirmy right now.

Speaker 2  37:25

Shut up. I’m being real with you. You asked me to be real with you.

Speaker 6  37:30

I’m just surprised you make such a big deal over not having a crush,

Speaker 2  37:35

I know. I guess it’s just the way people talk about that stuff. I don’t understand why anyone would want to do it. Like, I don’t want to spit or swallow.

Speaker 6  37:44

Me neither.

Speaker 2  37:45

Really?

Speaker 6  37:46

Yeah. I mean, that’s not the part I think about you know,

Speaker 2  37:51

Kissing seems fine.

Speaker 6  37:54

Just fine.

Speaker 2  37:56

Yeah, I mean, with the right person.

Speaker 6  37:59

Is there a certain person you have in mind?

Speaker 2  38:01

No person, just like a theoretical future person.

Speaker 6  38:08

Oh, a TFP?

Speaker 2  38:20

You’ll be one of those people ash people.

Speaker 6  38:24

Well we’ll be to ash people, one of them, given the other.

Speaker 2  38:35

If I had to become an ash person at any moment in my life, I’d pick this one. Getting a nuggy from Seb in a giant pile of leaves and keeping this secret to myself. That he’s my TFP. That there’s a part of me that hopes he’s not 100% gay, that maybe I still have a shot
