Joined by their mutual friend Stella in the green room, the three run through Jacob's routine first before Rory's, for any last-minute feedback right before their show starts. However, they start to clash as Rory calls out Jacob's overly "activist" and politically correct humor, that has just looped back around to overt bigotry and misunderstanding of oppression. As Rory tries to bridge the gap between Jacob's seemingly well-met intentions and comedy, tensions rise between them and their two self-proclaimed politically correct friends, as the pair repeatedly ignore Rory's input, despite the fact that they are ostensibly the target audience for Jacob's entire routine.
