A clip from another podcast features an earnest advertisement for ExoProtein bars made from crickets. The advertiser claims crickets are more efficient than cattle and produce fewer greenhouse gases. The hosts find the concept of eating bugs "disgusting" and use it as an example of the insincere nonsense found in traditional podcast advertising.

A comparison is drawn between the "no agenda" model and podcasts that accept targeted advertising, such as the Ben Greenfield Fitness Podcast promoting ExoProtein cricket bars. Additionally, a textbook used for English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction was found to contain lessons encouraging immigrants to eat insects for sustainability, which critics view as insulting to new arrivals.
