| 0:00.0 | Third eye drops are intended for open-minded adults. |
| 0:03.7 | Now administering third eye drops. Hey everybody Michael Philip here. |
| 0:24.0 | All the love to you, wonderful to be shooting mouth noises through your qualia as it always is. I have to say we are in a situation that at first appears to be |
