- Desi Lydic criticized Senator Marco Rubio for quoting old rap lyrics during a serious White House briefing on Iran, calling it inappropriate and likening it to a doctor making light of a medical scan.
- Jimmy Kimmel and Desi Lydic joked about Rubio's outdated rap references, with Lydic sarcastically declaring that "rap is no longer cool."
- Lydic and Meyers poked fun at members of the current administration for seemingly engaging in leisure activities instead of work, highlighting Rubio DJing at a family wedding, Kash Patel partying, RFK working out with Kid Rock, and Donald Trump scheduling naps during meetings.
