Though the Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide podcast may have proved that the fictitious James K. Polk Middle School was functionally Euphoria High with all the sex, drugs, and kids’ TV rock and roll going on behind-the-scene, the on-set drama wasn’t only reserved for the NBTCU (Nickelodeon Between Takes Cinematic Universe).

Last week, Lindsay Shaw invited her Teen Spirit costar, Chris Zylka, onto the podcast, where she relayed the story of the pair’s bizarre hook-up while filming their made-for-TV flick.


“So I had a little crush on Chris,” the actress spilled about her ABC Family co-star. “This one night with the aid of some Ambien and the condom from the hotel desk manager’s wallet … the next morning I wake up with no clothes on.”



Though Shaw and her Nickelodeon colleagues appeared to giggle away at this steamy confession, Zylka’s smile slowly dropped throughout the story. It’s unclear whether it was the tale of unrequited love or the implications surrounding sleeping with a woman who is blacked out on Ambien that soured his mood, the people of Twitter had some theories on the matter.



“Casually gets date raped as teen and tells it with a smile. Nickelodeon is something else..,” wrote @kryspywashere alongside a reupload of the clip.

 
Though we may never know what went down that sloppy night, one thing is certain — Shaw doesn’t mess around when it comes to the concept of declassification.
