Tim continues mocking the CBS segment as Tree suggests going to the ocean or helping scientists hatch turtles, pointing out how condescending and vacuous the advice is.
- CBS News reports that you can go to the ocean as an eco-friendly vacation destination.
- Tim questions what Americans do on vacations that's so ecologically unfriendly they don't already do every day.
- The segment's pitch: don't fly to theme parks, go to the ocean instead—which is where most people go in summer anyway.
- The eco-tourism guest plugs citizen science opportunities, claiming scientists need help from everyday Americans to monitor dolphins and see what's in the ocean.
- Tim challenges why scientists supposedly need American civilians to hatch turtles and monitor dolphins if they have funding.
- Americans will just eat whatever they find while doing citizen science—turtles and dolphins going into a pot.
- Tim points out scientists didn't want public input on vaccines but now claim they need citizens to finger-fuck and hatch turtles.
