Hello and welcome to very amusing, your one stop shop for the story, secrets, and

shenanigans of a popcorn-fueled theme park journalist.

I'm Carly Weiselle, and I am pretty sure I'm the only person in the entire world who has an appointment with an E&T today

because they don't feel like they can hello with the same gusto that they used to.

Now, today was pretty good.

Also, gusto that they used to is, ooh, feels like a bumper

sticker. Um, today it felt like I, I hit the hello pretty well. And that's always how it is, isn't it? Isn't it? That something's wrong and then you make an appointment. You're like, actually, I don't need it. Every time I make a hair appointment a week out from it, I'm like, wait, why does my hair look so good?

I actually usually go through with it, and I'm like, well, it'll be fine.

And then I get my hair colored, I get my hair look so good? I actually usually go through with it and I'm like, well, it'll be fine.

And then I get my hair colored, I get my hair cut, and I do not like it as much as I did before the appointment. This time, I canceled my appointment, like a week and a half in advance. I was like, you know what? I know what's going to happen. And I canceled it. And I've been quite happy with my hair. But today I am going to the ENT because I really want to make sure my voice is solved because strangely, I use my hair. But today I am going to the E&T because I really want to make sure my voice

is solved because strangely, I use my voice for my job. And that's, I'm in my brain. I am writer,

but I guess I am speaker as job. So every time I talk about what I do, I always, I know I say

this a lot, but I sound like, like in the Barbie movie when it's like, I do beach or whatever.

Like, that's, that's how I feel. I guess I do resonate. I do feel more connected to Ken than I do with Barbie. Now, this week, we have a banger of an episode. I did this interview in December. You're going to hear all about it. I don't want to talk too much about it because you're going to hear about it in just a minute. But I got to speak with Jenny Wein Bloom, one of the coolest executives at the Walt Disney Company. Truly, I just want to be best friends with her. I think she is so rad and such a talent and a genius. And I'm so excited that I'm able to have her on the show so you can hear exactly what I'm talking about. Like, easiest interview my life. Just like letting Jenny cook. It's just, I sit there.

Like, I'm just about. Like, easiest interview of my life. Just like letting Jenny cook.

It's just, I sit there. Like, I'm just like, oh, wow. It's just like listening to every word and hanging on every word she says. She is wonderful. You will love this episode. Now, this episode is coming out. If you were listening to this when it's coming out, sadly, what I'm about to say is probably going to apply whenever you listen to it because that's just how the past few years

have gone. I don't want to perceive this episode's coming out. Sadly, what I'm about to say is probably going to apply whenever you listen to it, because that's just how the past few years have gone. I don't want to proceed with

this episode without acknowledging that there is a lot happening in our world right now. I know that

people listen to this podcast with folks of all, ears of all ages listening in, so I will be very

vague. But I just want to let you know that it is a hard time.

And it's not supposed to be like this.

And it's really bad.
