An ad plays featuring the parents of Parkland shooting victim Joaquin "Guac" Oliver, who used deepfake/AI technology to bring their dead son "back" to deliver a voting PSA about gun violence.
- Patricia Oliver introduces herself and her husband Manuel, whose son Joaquin was killed at Parkland two years ago.
- Nearly 100 families lose someone to gun violence every single day, she says, but people don't listen.
- The Olivers found a way to bring back someone no one will ignore — their dead son, reanimated for a PSA.
- The ghost of Joaquin appears, frustrated that nothing has changed in two years despite everyone knowing about gun deaths.
- Joaquin would have been able to vote in the upcoming election but will never get to choose the world he wanted to live in.
- He directs viewers to unfinishvotes.com to register and vote for politicians who prioritize people's lives over gun lobby money.
- Tim's closing reaction: "well that was fun."
