they are in their home recording a video of themself to talking to another person. This is known because they mention it and says it is how their group meets.
One of the tools they use in this video they are talking to someone else and trying to tell them how great their group is. However as she explains how great it is she throws more and more personal information into her stories of how great it is. as she keeps going she starts shooting herself in the foot and the tone shifts slowly.
