This week has a long discussion about diabetes. So.. that’s something, huh?
But don’t turn off the episode yet! The episode also includes bathroom karma, Carnies, and a traumatic flashback of William’s that makes Tony laugh so hard, he cracks some ribs!
Seriously, this episode is nuts…

I can’t come out for that con, I’ll be in LA for the Doctor Who convention.
OMG – William’s Funnel Cake Rant was like the best thing ever.
The best part was “… and you’ll feel bad about it later…” and obviously, you’ll feel bad about it MUCH later.
… My local amusement park was Disneyland… And Knotts Berry Farm… Six Flags Magic Mountain… MarineLand… Raging Waters… Santa Monica Pier…
Also, on the subject of being aware of how much you’re eating when you’re eating it… I totally agree.
Some time ago I was sitting at a table with some friends and somebody had brought a bag of chocolates. I had decided that I would not have any but at some point I looked down and there were like 9 empty little chocolate wrappers scattered in front of me on the table. I remember thinking, “This is what werewolves must feel like when they wake up covered in blood.” I don’t remember eating them, I didn’t have the taste of chocolate in my mouth but there were the wrappers and some chocolate on my hands. Unless somebody was trying to frame me…
I use some portion control serving utensils from Weight Watchers these are them though I don’t remember them being so expensive. this set seems more reasonably priced and the company seems to have a range of sets at different price points. Or just get an extra set of measuring cups so the Producer doesn’t have to keep looking for the one that you used and don’t know what you did with it.
Oops. That second link was supposed to be this.
We picked some of those exact tools up this weekend! They carry them at our local grocery store.
I do like the look and imagined heft of the stainless steel ones better, but these were readily available and definitely cheaper.
PS – William, can I use your Funnel Cake story in my next stand up?
Sure! If you want to. Honestly, I’m still not sure what was funny about it, but y’all would know better than I would!
Agreed, the funnel cake rant was probably the funniest 20 minutes of podcast I’ve heard in 45 episodes. I appreciate the title of the episode too. Sorry to hear about the diabetes, but good to hear you so up-beat about it. In general, well done on #45.
My favorite part of William’s funnel cake story was when he told the people who asked that they were made by scraping off parts from a leper. That was awesome. 🙂
I haven’t been to Enchanted Forest since I was a kid, but my mother-in-law has taken the youngest Bee there at least twice. I recall the haunted house scaring the ever-loving crap out of me, and my son wouldn’t go through it again after his first visit there.
I’m glad Tony sounds so positive about his health, and hope that things continue to go well. Mr. Bee has been trying to get us to make some dietary changes; so far we’ve switched to whole grain pasta, we’re both trying to watch our portions, and we avoid fast food as much as possible. I’ve also been caffeine-free for about a year and a half now. It’s hard to change once you’re conditioned to a certain way of eating, but the effort will be well worth it.
Tony & Producer: Your fans demand you release the full version of your secret chilli recipe.
Do you think the questions from Anonymous are from Anonymous or just from people who don’t want to be named?
William: Best funnel cake rant, EVAR! :p Also I can honestly say everytime I’ve bought a funnel cake; I either really wanted one or was buying it for somebody else who really wanted it.
Mark, the problem is that the chili ‘recipe’ involves three different home-canned products. So it’s going to be hard to replicate if you don’t have a pressure canner and at least one crazy person in the house. Also, it wasn’t that good. I mean, it was fine and super easy, but I like the chili we usually make ‘on-demand’ better. You can find that recipe .
