The Mayor of Miami imposed a nightly curfew while invoking "life, liberty, and happiness," a phrasing the hosts note omits the "pursuit" of happiness. In a separate segment, the hosts critique "Embark" dog DNA tests, suggesting they are a "hoodwink" designed to upsell pet owners on unnecessary health screenings for "pre-deceased" animals.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized the U.S. market for providing more time for puppies to stay with their mothers (eight weeks) than the average parental leave for humans (six weeks). She used this comparison to argue that the market has failed to treat people with dignity. The hosts link this to a commercial for "Embark" dog DNA tests, noting a cultural trend where dogs are increasingly treated with more importance than people.
