0:20.7	I'm Carly Wiesel, and yeah, you bet right, I lost my voice. I lost my voice. It is holiday party season. I went out two nights in a row. I yapped. I gaped. Actually went out four nights in a row, but not in like a going out way. Like I went to a Wrangler event, which was amazing. They have a collaboration with Stranger Things, and have really cute stuff. And then I went to my friend Jeffrey's holiday party, which was a blast. And I talked and I laughed and I chatted. And I woke up Saturday and was like, oh, I don't think I can talk anymore. And then I went to a hockey game. And then I woke up the next day and was like, oh, I fully lost my voice. and then I went to a very fun kids birthday party. And then I went to a hockey game.

1:47.9	sure you get to enjoy all of it. In this
1:50.1	here, Shrek, September.
1:51.9	Again, I'm just going to, I'm just
1:54.0	going to go. This is bad. But stay tuned for some
