This episode of the next big idea contains explicit sexual content and may not be suitable for everyone. Springtime on a glassy river outside Boston. A coxen keeps the rhythm as a boy's high school crew team runs through its drills.

A sophomore named Cole is on the boat.

He's tall and muscular with close-crop dirty blonde hair.

He's keeping his mouth shut, learning the ropes.

When practice is over, Cole showers with the team in the locker room.

As the boys drows his senior starts to brag,

he says he's lured a sophomore girl into a relationship.

Now she thinks the two of them are an item, but he's still hooking up with other girls behind

her back. The bragging bothers Cole, and he decides to say something.

He and a friend also a sophomore tell the senior what he's doing isn't cool.

But the older kid just laughs at them.

The next day another teammate is ranting,

vowing to get back at a bitch who dumped him.

Again, Cole's friend speaks up, but this time, Cole stays silent.

Over the next... This time, Cole stays silent.

Over the next few weeks, the scene plays out again and again.

A teammate starts trash talking a girl, and Cole's friend bravely objects. Pretty soon the friends at Pariah, the guys on the team won't even talk to him. They call him names including derogatory terms for women's genitals and for gay men.

Cole still keeps his mouth shut.

He swallows his discomfort.

But inside a storm is brewing.

He respects women and gay people.

He also loves his bros.
