Stephen Colbert and Oscar the Grouch's new duet reminds us that things aren't so bad, after all.

You don't need anyone to tell you that things...are not at their most optimal right now. And if that's got you down, you're not alone.

Stephen Colbert is also feeling the crushing weight of the news cycle on his shoulders. That's why he decided to take a walk around the block (recommended!) to feel a little bit better about the fact that we may all end up living in trash cans one day.

But wait: What's so bad about living in a trash can?

That's the question that Oscar the Grouch has when Colbert encounters him on his walk. And that's all the lead-in you need for this adorable duet about how things will (probably, hopefully) get better. Hope it brightens the rest of your week!
