0:00 dude Ryan's the guy when you're watching like Stand and Deliver he's like yo teach is this unconstitutional [Music] so um at a school in San Antonio Texas Nick yep it's in San Antonio I know San Antonio good tonight you do I've been there for three days so I know it pretty well probably more than you guys do now I'm in there on Bunker have you been in a river walk yep how come that's like The Unsung city of Texas everyone talks about Dallas Houston Austin because of Spurs they're smaller but no one talks about San Antonio they got an NBA team you gotta be pretty big I went to that Arena dude I was there isn't that where the Alamo is yes it is it's really small so small it's literally it's about the Alamo yeah but yeah I don't really talk about San Antonio like I want to move to

0:50 San Antonio then Charles Barkley have a lot to say about San Antonio something about their women oh big women the big women in San Antonio yeah I don't see that many big women in San Antonio never saw the huge women in San Antonio they're huge what is that even they're nice Haagen-Dazs they don't have Victoria's Secret in San Antonio I'll tell you that black thought Victoria's Secret caters to huge women now do they yeah okay we'll check this out mannequins check this out so there's a school policy at a charter school oh God that singles out students who are on their menstrual cycle okay why so check this out you get a piece of paper and it's it's bright purple and if you need a bathroom break for your menstrual cycle you have to use the purple paper oh man so you gotta out yourself to the

1:41 hole instead of just getting the bathroom pass they need to regulate why wait why so it's like teacher I need to go to the bathroom they're like you're gonna pretend like you're taking a ████ I'm on my rag you son of a ████ okay purple paper that's exactly what it is so the problem was that kids yeah they feel that kids were abusing bathroom breaks yeah but then girls are like yo I'm not abusing bathroom breaks ████ I got my ████ going on yeah and so they're like well cool will you prove it call it out and prove it so they want to make sure that they're not doing that pulling that card every week correct this embarrass a ████ bunch of girls that's what parents are mad about because they say being a young lady in this day and age is hard enough and I just realized it was when I saw the Barbie movie last month my immediate thing is like that's ████ up towards the kids but then also thinking about how their school is

2:31 different from ours now I could see why so let's say the bathroom breaks are just a a cover for checking your phone in the bathroom so now imagine how much we all check our phones between every break oh that's true yeah now if all kids have phones then it could be using that to abuse the bathroom I can see that well dude I mean we never abuse the bathroom thing when we were in school never exactly just to smoke cigarettes do we used to tear that ████ up yeah I did but sometimes I just had a ████ that's true me too and you get a brown paper to do to to go to the bathroom we should have a yellow paper a brown paper and a purple paper dude if you made everyone we should have made it red brown paper to go ████ everybody's like oh my God I know that might be worse

3:21 than you've got can I get the yellow one but it's gonna take a long time is it like unconstitutional or some ████ to just you can't use the bathroom and class I feel like when I was in school they were like no bathroom breaks just like straight up yeah I remember you have to ask for permission and then I remember in college people just like this and then you're like where's it going yeah yeah they're like all right he's an adult you can do whatever ████ you want dude Ryan's the guy when you're watching like Stand and Deliver he's like yo teach isn't this unconstitutional it's unconstitutional and ████ I come in with it with the Declaration of Independence and ████ he roll it out I love rights check it yeah I know my right you never see he starts rapping yo peep this manuscript never seen in elementary school when kids would just start going oh teacher emergency and

4:13 they're like about to die I remember one time um last week when you ████ your own pants oh much more further than okay okay it's in second grade my buddy Daniel was like sure emergency right but it was almost like time to leave like the Bell was about to ring she goes Daniel settle down we're almost about to leave he goes no I have to go teach her I have to go and then like she's like the bell's about to ring right and then right before it rings like he's just standing there just starts ████ going oh no just standing there teacher yeah I like to surrender he falls to his knees congratulations [Laughter] get his hand up and he goes see I told

5:05 you I talked I told you and I told you that I told you yeah it was so matter of fact the wind goes I I told you I told you like jokes on you it's not on him teachers get so weird about like kids going to the bathroom for sure but then like I I just feel like the stakes are so low for them just be like just go to the ████ bathroom everybody's going to ask that's why they they don't let you yeah but at the same time it's always a lottery because somebody's abusing it somebody always needs to go like teachers have to really keep their eye on slippery slopes that's true check this out on this on this piece of paper as well the paper's small and it's purple and it also has a Shakespearean quote from the sonnet 18. shall I compare thee to a summer's day Thou Art more lovely and more temperate it actually says this on the bathroom why

5:55 what why would they put a coat there she went on to say that so stupid well that's what it says that's the Shakespeare quote right yeah that'd be sick if it said shall I compare they to a Summer's Eve it's like putting a random Bible verse why it was the purpose I don't get it I think it's just like you know it's like they're protect their flower or some ████ it's like weird ████ it's inspirational for when you're on your right weird ████ what grade is this again um it's a little bit weird if it's like around the grade that some girls are not yet comfortable with even talking about yeah that's kind of crazy good point like in in ████ high school girls which is all about saying that ████ yeah yeah you're like all right you think girls mask their period stuff with having to ████ I'm so embarrassed on my period I gotta take a ████ I think at that age they actually would

6:45 they actually would I don't know which one's worse I would assume like a junior or a senior in high school would be like Oh I'm on my period yeah yeah you know what I mean yeah I think so I've seen chicks do this like let's say they they are on their period if they open their backpack and I see them pull out a tampon they don't open it and then watch to the teacher hey can I use the restroom they'll like kind of like put it in the purse or they'll cover it somehow because that's how embarrassing it is yeah so they'd rather be like use something else to disguise that they have to change that's why they go I gotta take a ████ please let me go that is way worse if that's like earlier on yeah so school's pretty proud of themselves they're like they're having themselves on the back and they figure it out they released a statement that was like Hey look to protect our ladies from being limited by the bathroom procedures we created a system for our students who are experiencing the menstrual cycle to access the bathroom nurse and Supply sufficiently we only

7:37 ask that they use it responsibly so they're saying like yeah this is tight I wonder whose idea this was if it was a dude's idea if it was a ladies idea I guess it would be fine if they if they asked the students and they voted and they were like we all don't give a ████ that's a tight ass system yeah then we look like idiots for being outreached for them yeah yeah this is I like big outage for everybody though I remember um me and my friends wanted to like hide behind the bushes and smoke cigarettes and then we're like what should we do it's like all right at this time when we get into class I have to go to the bathroom all right and then we all kind of asked at the same time and we met each other up and jumped behind the bushes and smoked a cigarette dude I would do that with my girlfriend I'd be like wait till the 30 minute Mark and then let's just go we'll go to the bathroom and then we just go like make out real quick yeah but it's got to be from a different team dude they won't let you go simultaneously at

8:29 the same classroom no but we were in different classes yeah see that's how you do that's the truth yeah synchronize it yeah you look at the clock and you're like all right when it's up to 30. I'll see you there ████ damn almost I'm such a guilty Catholic so like the for the five minutes before it hits 30 I'm going like yeah yeah exactly it is yeah setting it up setting the temperature long game longer I think I think I do need to go actually yeah yeah I was trying to fight it but do a couple of half walks half walk up to the teacher I'm not ready I'm not ready it's still it's still cooking Fun's still in the oven did everyone go to the nurse's office to go take a ████ back in the day I went to go like have a straight up six hours of sleep yeah I remember taking a nap yeah oh really if I didn't if I didn't sleep all night I would just be

9:20 like yo I don't feel good and I'll just go to the office and just be out the whole day at Mark keppel they're in the nurse's office there was like two like table things and then she would just be like okay just lay down and I just like lay down and I'm just like just knock off like the whole hour the best thing about being a kid too is you can sleep anywhere yeah like in any anger not fancy yeah it's not a big deal you don't wake up and go oh ████ oh if you if you sick did they just send you home or like do they still have the nurse's office oh with like a covid protocol yeah oh I don't know because I remember all the kids went to the nurse's office to take a ████ because there was actually a door there that's a little buddy yeah that would be you guys remember the ████ pink sand soap oh yeah it does me and you're like oh this is ████ great like cuts off
