Disney Superlatives! (with Drew Taylor)

[upbeat jazz music] Hello.

Okay, we're getting there.

We're getting there.

And welcome to Very Amusing, your one-stop shop for the stories, secrets, and shenanigans of a pop culture fueled theme park journalist.

I'm Carly Wenzel, and if this is your first time listening to Very Amusing, let me explain.

This week we have an incredible interview in honor of the school year ending, our Disney superlatives, a new thing we're doing, which I'm 1,000% going to bring back every June, with my friend and colleague Drew Taylor.

This episode, not what I'm saying now, but the actual interview, the chit-chat with Drew Taylor, that was recorded before I lost my voice screaming about Kermit the Frog at Kermit the Frog.

Listen, it happens.

It's kind of like, do I get workman's comp for this? It just kind of feels, like, natural that I would lose my voice because I got to see the Mu- I got to see Kermit the Frog in real life.

See, this is how it happened.

That is how it happened.

That was authentic.

I didn't plan on that.

My body just cannot, cannot control.

I haven't told y- I haven't even, like, told you guys the full details, but just 'cause we're among friends, um, I fully had to go on antibiotics at Disney World for something that is not contagious.

It is a, uh, let's just say an, an internal related issue that ...

We're not gonna get into it, but it is not a contagious thing.

It is not like I showed up to the park sick.

It, I had to go on antibiotics, I think, 'cause my body shut down.

'Cause it was like, "What do you mean there's Muppets here?" My body stopped functioning and I had to take a medication to be like, "I am here on this earth, and also the Muppets are here in the fur.

And, organs, you can keep working, it's okay.

It's okay.

I know you're in shock, but it's okay." That is how exciting it was.

So I lost my voice, but this episode is my old voice, which is thrilling.

Because it's nice.

It's nice to be like, "Oh yeah, one day I will speak again normally." Otherwise, when you are listening to this, surprise, I'm back at Disney World.

Listen, I didn't really plan it to be this way.

The trip I'm currently on is vacation.

Ooh, dog.

And I planned this many, many months ago.

But the stars just aligned in a way where I'm going to Disney World a lot, and surprise, I'm back.

So we will be talking about that next week.

But this week, it's a real- it's really fun.

This one's really fun.

I'm not even gonna keep you from it.

It's fantastic.

Enjoy.

I will see you when I'm home.

And oh my God, enjoy, enjoy my old voice.

Ooh.

Ooh.
