Francis Ellis performs comedic songs, first about a skier getting a speeding ticket framed as 'police brutality,' then a satirical anthem about performative online allyship covering various social justice causes.
- Francis performs 'Brutality,' a song about a cop who pulls him over for speeding on the way to ski, then regrets slowing down when he arrives to find a 50-person chairlift line.
- Second song opens with winter depression, then pivots to the solution: take a trip to Tulum, buy a house in Southampton, spend money on yourself for mental health instead of killing yourself.
- Francis performs 'Ally,' declaring himself a social justice ally and listing causes: wage gap, toxic male advances, boss sending dick pics at holiday parties.
- The 'Ally' song spirals into a rapid-fire list of every progressive concern and cause: pronouns, animal rights, Jada's hair, Ukraine, Asian hatred, microplastics, Joe Rogan, vaccination fears, cultural appropriation, Louis C.K.'s masturbation.
- Song concludes with Francis claiming empathy and being on the right side of history, asking people to like and share his tweet while the audience applauds.
