RADIOLAB: All right, everybody,
let's collectively rewind

our minds back in time...

million years ago, to be precise.

The dinosaurs are here on Earth.

Meanwhile, up in space,
our asteroid is now hurtling

towards the Earth,
getting hotter and hotter.

If you were a terrestrial dinosaur,

you'd have experienced some heat

that is almost unimaginable...

something like , degrees.

At that temperature, your blood
will literally start

to boil inside your body,

and you will die.

♪ And they say ♪

♪ "She's so lucky, she's a star ♪

♪ But she cry, cry,
cries in her lonely heart ♪

♪ If there's nothing
missing in my life ♪

♪ Then why do these tears
come at night?" ♪

Wait. You're actually gonna sign that?

You're actually wearing nails
that say "p*ssy Power"?

Maybe I really love cats.

Prove it.

You want me to show you my p*ssy?

[Chuckles]

She's a comedy queen, baby!

[Chuckles]

Um, why haven't you accepted

my follow request on Insta?

Okay. So I get dress-coded,
but meanwhile,

no one does anything about
all the real fashion crimes

against humanity
happening in this school.

Slip-ons with socks?

Wraparound sunglasses?

I mean, you need to be arresting
those people

and expelling them and making
them fly drones into their head

so they accidentally drown.

[Chuckles]

CHESTER: There we go.

I got you.

So, why won't you let me follow you?

You're one away from suspension.

And?

Okay, okay.
That... That just pisses me off.

'Cause we got bigger fish to fry.

"We"? Who's "we"?

Like "Black people"?

Like "Black q*eer people"?

What if this is the fish I want to fry?

So I saw this, um...

this video of you jumping off
a boat to help Nathan?

Oh! It made it all the way to VHS.

Be that person.

Is this where you therapize me?

Can I recommend a therapist?

But you know I just want
to lie on your couch.

SAM: You need to repaint your nails.

So that's a no.

Is it 'cause you got a boyfriend?

I was a band geek in high school.

You know, I... I loved it.

Someone else's music,
someone else's steps,

someone else's clothes.

Conformity... just give me more of it.

Literally, let me march to the
b*at of someone else's drum.

I see you, and it's like I'm...

You are who I wish I was in high school.

So accept my Insta request.

You need to go now.

See you at GSA.

Yeah, um, actually,
I got stuff to take care of,

so I don't think I'm gonna make it.

Okay, then.

We'll miss you.

I'm the asteroid.

You're the dinosaur.

J: I love that podcast.

The atmosphere blows up,

and the dinosaurs go extinct
in a second.

But, like, all the little
creatures living in the dirt

just under the surface survive.

So what? We're all just supposed
to hide underground

and wait for the apocalypse?

Like, for what?

I'm sorry. I'm just, like,

experiencing rejection
on multiple levels.

You want a hit?

No.

It's the f*cking Binary, you know?

Yeah.

Actually, no, I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Yeah, this is just The Great Binary

doing its work...

Stay or go.

Isolate or celebrate.

Funyuns or Hot Cheetos.

But this Binary keeps
wanting you to choose.

In or out.

So you're just like
can't stay in, so gotta be out.

Then the Binary wins.

Now I'm thinking about In-N-Out.

sh*t.

My munchies are setting in.

[School bell rings]

No, don't do it.

That zucchini bread is nasty.

Yeah. I dunno.

For some reason, I'm just
really attracted to it,

and I want to get to know it better.

ARIANNA: ...and then you have
to stand up

and be like, "I'm Naomi.

My pronouns are she/her,
and I'm a lesbian."

NAOMI: But I'm not!

I'm only going because
you're my best friend

and my brother's bi.

sh*t. I don't know.

Those are some tough
m*therf*ckers in there.

If they think you're straight at all,

they will f*cking cut you.

I only get a pass 'cause my dads,

but it's touch-and-go,
so you have to say it.

Wait. Are you serious?

Bitch, I'm just messing with you!

Oh, my God! I'm dying!

I'm dying!

Hey, Jack.

Rose.

Are you, um... Are you going in?

No, um, I got stuff
I need to take care of.

We need you.

Otherwise, it's just gonna be,
like, hours of Delilah

TED-talking about trigger warnings.

I can't save everyone
all the time, you know.

I like your nails.

"Posse Power."

[Drumming in background]

[Whistle blows]

Um, I-I'll see you later.

Okay, bye.

Oh! By the way, I just found
out your grandma's white!

ARIANNA: Why would we take
a field trip to a wall?

DELILAH: Stonewall isn't a wall.

SAM: I can see us raising money
for a trip,

but New York might be a little tricky.

Last year, the Young Republicans
went to Fort Lee.

Yeah, well, they're much
better funded than we are.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Just, um, before we keep
going with, you know,

all of that, uh...

And I know things are changing in here,

and, you know, new people, and...

and you like to run things
the way you do, which is great.

I just think it might be nice
if I were to introduce us

to someone new with us.

This is Luz, my star soccer player.

[Chuckles] Top scorer here.

[Laughs] This girl
really knows how to score.

'Sup.

So, is there anything
you'd like to share,

Luz, that brought you here?

Any issues, or...?

Yeah, I'm single.

That's an issue.

I'd like to fix that.

- Hit me up.
- DELILAH: Yeah.

Can we go back to the trip?

We have to do something.

I just feel like we're all
really complacent.

Maybe we should just do, like,
a dance or something?

MRS. CULPEPPER: That's not a bad idea.

Or there's gay day at Disneyland.

Yeah, um, Disney's pretty problematic.

It is.

I mean, Ursula's the villain
and a drag queen lesbian.

- That's really cool.
- Scar, lispy villain who literally says,

"Let me practice my curtsy."

Or "Toy Story" Ken...

closeted gay fashionista
who's all "I am not a girl toy."

Like, and he's saying that, like,

literally the worst thing a boy
could be is a girl or gay.

It's just... I don't think we
can give money to that company.

I'm sorry. We can't.

CHESTER: I kind of agree with Delilah.

I mean, not about the Disney thing.

I love me my Disney musicals.

But history, yes.

I'm on this whole thing right now

about the history of humankind,

and I just have to say,
we are living in a bubble.

Like, I'm sick of all this
short-term memory.

We're like,
"Oh, I would never let there be

concentration camps," and, like,

we're literally putting kids
in cages right now.

f*ck! I don't know.

Like, I'm all worked up,
and I don't even know why.

But I agree with Delilah.

Like, I don't want to sit and argue

about who's making Rice Krispie treats

for some shitty bake sale.

Like, let's tell the school
they have to give us money.

Let's go to the
q*eer Motherland, San Francisco.

Let's learn some
historical sh*t about ourselves.

And from now on, let's just,

like, get it the f*ck right, okay?

ARIANNA: Wait. You guys...

Ooh!

Also, doesn't San Francisco have, like,

that three-story H&M?

Girl.

SAM: Chester.

That was perfect.

[Indistinct conversations]

May I?

Yeah.

Let's give them something to talk about.

Okay. But they're also literally
not talking at all.

Wait. I don't understand.

Like, you came out,
you jumped off a boat.

Like, nobody's saying anything?

Yeah, no. My mom is just like, "Oh, hi.

Everything's bueno."

Is she gonna freak?

Probably.

Do you want me to stop?

You jump, I jump, right?

RILEY: Oh, my God. No, seriously, stop.

- No.
- Yes.

Please hit an iceberg.

Oh, my God. We should do the thing.

- What thing?
- We're doing the thing.

- "The thing."
- Come on.

Okay, okay, okay. Okay, okay, okay.

Close your eyes.

Do you trust me?

Now open your eyes.

Literally posting this for the world.

[School bell rings]

LINDSAY: Megan!

- It's Lindsay.
- Oh.

I know who you are, Lindsay.

We're on that thingy together.

Oh. How's it going?

Things are good.

Good. I'm so glad.

So glad.

It's just, I know
how kids are... mean...

so I wanted to check in on you.

Oh, thanks. I so appreciate that.

Do I know what you're talking about?

I'm sorry.

I'm incredibly confused.

What is your kid's name again?

- Ella.
- Ella Michaels. Right.

I was confusing her with the Ella

who got caught selling her parents' pot.

She was barely making a profit.

Oh, I'm sorry.

That was your Ella.

Oh, God.

Ella felt just sick
about that video of Nathan.

Ohh.

[Cellphone chimes]

[Indistinct conversations]

[Cellphone chimes]

- [Laughs]
- Oh, my God.

RILEY: Literally posting this
for the world.

She's a birdy.

Yes! Oh, my gosh! You're making me fall!

Sorry. What's this for?

LINDSAY: Snacks.
For the meeting next week.

We still need gluten-free cookies

or anything vegan/sugar-free!

You know what? I am not busting my fanny

making vegan/sugar-free
desserts for people.

Seriously.

Whatever happened to just cookies?

Well, Megan, we do already have

quite a few different types of cookies.

Great. Then that should be enough.

You now, there was a day when
people were happy with cookies.

Now it's all...
"Oh, no, I identify as a...

sugar-hating fake celiac-person"
or whatever.

You know what? You don't want cookies?

- Have a carrot.
- Melissa's bringing carrots.

Oh! Well, you know what?

Someone might not identify
as an orange carrot eater,

so you should bring some white
carrots and some red carrots.

Right?

[Groans] So tedious.

"Pay attention to me!

Special allergic person me!

"I identify as..."

I'm sorry, but...

there was a time
when people were just normal.

You know? Just...

[Grunting]

Hon?

[Panting]

f*ck.

[Sighs]

Ow.

Damn it!

[Gasping]

Can you not glue my finger?

I'm not, and you're welcome.

Okay, yeah.
But you see, it's on my skin...

Mom!

Did you see that, um...

- video loop thing?
- Of Nathan?

Yeah, everyone saw it.

Oh, I see.

- So everyone knows?
- What do you mean?

There were a gazillion people there.

I think they all understood, though,

that it was just
a silly joke nothing-thing.

- Right?
- He's a mess, okay?

And a total attention whore.

Yes! That's my whole point.

But it's not like he was making it up,

and it's not that big of a deal.

I mean, I guess you think
he's going to hell or whatever,

but I just think he has,

like, character problems
and moral issues.

- Yeah.
- And can be selfish.

But I think he's just freaked out a bit,

and I think it's weird
you don't talk to him.

He knows where I stand.

Yeah. Okay.

You do you.

Oh, you know what?

I really hate that expression.

"You do you"?
I don't even know what that means.

I'm just asking you
to keep me in the loop.

You know, with your brother.

Yeah, not gonna do that.

- Talk to him.
- Wha...

You're welcome for the nail.

[Doorbell rings]

- Hey, hey!
- You guys!

What a surprise! It's not frosé night!

Well, Thursday's too far away,
and Mama needed her cocktail.

I am loving this tropical print.

- Hello, Malibu Megan!
- [Laughs]

Nice manners!

You make us so proud!

- Go on back.
- Sorry.

Go.

What? I just thought it'd be
nice to blow off a little steam

with the boys.

I am giving up on him.

I am.

I am giving up on Brad Pitt.

That " Monkeys" thing.

And "The Trees of Life"?

And the Fighting Club?

They're all just so confusing.

Why is Edward Norton punching himself?

I just... I'm sorry, Brad.

Just please take off your shirt
and shut up.

You don't have to prove you're smart

by being in movies
normal people can't understand.

JOE: Well, in what context
did you watch them?

What do you mean?

I just mean, some films you have
to give your full

and undivided attention to.

And if you're talking
through them, you know,

it's kind of hard.

Like "Inception."

Well, be interesting,
and I won't talk through you.

Okay? [Laughs]

Who wants more?

- Come on.
- Thanks.

How's Nathan?

He's good!

MARK: Well, we're...

a little bit worried.

What? Come on, honey.

- It's Patrick and Joe.
- I know!

But just what...

What is there to talk about?

It's just a lot of change.

You know?

And I have those apps, you know?

I meditate. I get it.

The only thing that's permanent
is impermanence and...

Namaste.

Savasana, whatever. [Chuckles]

I don't know. It's just a lot.

Which is why, at the end of the day,

I just want Brad Pitt
to take off his shirt

and stop making me have to think.

Look, the Nathan thing,
it's just a little confusing, you know?

Generally, bi is confusing.

It's really not confusing.

"Inception" is confusing.

- Honey, I find it...
- Who wants more?

- I find it a little confusing.
- It's not.

Want more?

♪♪

I have learned a lot, actually, online.

Yeah.

Some of it's a little bit too much.

I mean, did I need to know
there is an entire category

for "Bisexual Cuckold p*rn"?

What? No! [Laughs]

But... I don't know... it is...
it's all about choices.

Right? And...

And our job is to make sure
that Nathan chooses well.

- May I speak frankly?
- Mm, not too frankly.

Okay.

Bisexuality can be confusing.

But it doesn't mean
that they're, you know,

cheating all the time
or having a bunch of threesomes

or sleeping with everything that moves.

PATRICK: And I get it,
because one of the things

that makes it so confusing

is that literally every gay man
came out as bi first.

I mean, I said I was bi,

and I was gayer than
a straight guy in a musical.

MARK: Wait.

I starred in all my college musicals.

Now, I'm not saying Nathan
is using bi as an excuse.

He's not.

He's not.

I mean, come...

I have a feeling that Nathan
likes a little drama.

They all do.

They all like to say, "I'm this today,"

or, "Today I'm that," you know?

And to have all their friends
comment and...

put likes on their posts and whatnot.

But half the time, they don't
even know what the words mean.

My point is that I know my son.

And I know what will make him happy.

Right? And that is all
that I want for him.

It's his happiness.

With a woman.

But that's just them.

I told them I didn't get gay vibes.

Oh, my God. You guys are so weird.

What did you tell them?

I told them that we kissed.

- Ugh.
- Why?

I told them I liked it.

Oh, my God.

And they were like,
"Don't get hurt, babydoll,"

'cause they think you're just using me

to pretend you're not gay.

But really I think it's because

they had a shitshow with their third,
