By the time I started recording The Sidebar this week, I’d had way too many Kit Kats.

Granted I wasn’t eating entire, giant Kit Kat bars. But, in honor of Halloween, I’d sampled at least nine (NINE) different types of Kit Kats with Jennifer Biggs, Chris Herrington and show producer Natalie Van Gundy on this week’s episode of Jennifer’s podcast, Sound Bites.

Eating that much candy was an absolutely terrible idea. I don’t eat a lot of sugar anymore, so even the smallest amount destroys me.

And all of this was only made worse by the ten more Kit Kats I sampled during The Sidebar. From pudding-flavored to pumpkin spice, we just kept eating Kit Kats.

(To be fair, it didn’t help that I’d had four espressos not long before we started Sound Bites.)

I claim no responsibility for anything I did or said during either show. Honestly, I can’t really remember much of what happened. Mostly it’s just a chocolate-and-sugar-induced blur that left my hands shaking, my vision weakened, and my head throbbing. A kind of Kit Kat fever dream.

Never again.

Take a listen.
