about

When the pandemic struck, esteemed medical puffesional Dr. Oop MD and his colleague Nada Clue immediately retreated to Aloha Laboratories in Humboldt County, CA to develop a cure for the quarantine blues. In 10 days they invented "Essential Business vol.1". They tested it on themselves and it worked almost instantly. However, the quarantine blues mutated in time, so the duo was forced to return to the lab, and in 10 more days they created "Essential Business vol.2 - Intensive Care". It is now available to the public for the first time! Please share with those in need. Hold tight planet earth. We gon' be aight.
