The episode opens with two back-to-back pre-roll advertisement segments before the hosts have said a word. Ryan Reynolds delivers a characteristically deadpan Mint Mobile spot — his plan to print $15 bills was, he reports, 'very illegal' — followed by full terms and conditions. A Talkspace online therapy ad then plays, narrated in a personal, testimonial style about navigating life changes, long-distance relationships, and new parenthood, offering $80 off a first month with the code SPACE80. Neither ad is read by the Smosh hosts; both are fully produced inserts. The segment sets up the episode's parenting theme tangentially, with the Talkspace narrator mentioning becoming a stepfather.
