Keegan and Jordan misunderstand the tone of each other's text messages while trying to make plans to meet at a bar. The sketch brilliantly illustrates how text communication can go wrong when tone and context are lost in digital messaging. Keegan, drinking coffee in his kitchen, becomes increasingly agitated reading Jordan's texts as hostile and dismissive. Meanwhile, Jordan, relaxing on his couch playing video games and smoking marijuana, is completely oblivious to any conflict and interprets the messages as casual and friendly. The miscommunication escalates to the point where Keegan shows up to the bar with a baseball bat covered in nails, ready to fight, while Jordan cheerfully orders drinks for both of them. The sketch uses the contrasting settings and substances (coffee vs. marijuana) to highlight how different states of mind and lack of vocal tone can lead to completely different interpretations of the same text messages.
