Third eye drops are intended for open-minded adults.

Now administering the third eye drops. Welcome, welcome Wonder Dippers. So nice to share mental space with you. It is always an oasis in these weird and uncertain times. Speaking of, I think, among the most difficult

things to do right now, amongst the uncertainty is laugh consistently.

0:46.7

Find humor in not only what's going on politically and pandemically, but existentially.

0:54.8

That's the real challenge, managing to find some satire in the whole living, breathing equation. But if you do manage to find humor in the latter, everything
