SPEAKER_1 (0:00)
Oh!
Vittorio Angelone (0:01)
Vittorio Angelone. I'm stopping losing weight. I've drawn a line under it. We're going for a plateau now.
Peter Flanagan (0:06)
Yes, officially.
Vittorio Angelone (0:07)
I did calorie deficit for ages, lost two stone, and now we're just gonna...
Peter Flanagan (0:12)
It's over. You're skin and bones, so now you're trying to bulk.
Vittorio Angelone (0:15)
Yeah, well, I've been going to the gym the whole time. I've been getting stronger, but I just think we're at the point where, like, I lost two stone in about five months, and then I'm just like, okay, this is...
Peter Flanagan (0:25)
What was your motivation to lose so much weight?
Vittorio Angelone (0:29)
Richard Osman's house of games. No, that's not...
Mike Rice (0:34)
Osman can be quite shaming.
Vittorio Angelone (0:37)
He's so tall, he looms over you.
Mike Rice (0:39)
He's tall and looming, and Sri is a gut that had fucking, you know, a gut that would make a pigeon scared himself. But yet he has a mean word for anyone else who has it, because he says, you don't even have a house of games and you have a big belly. Do you know what I mean?
Vittorio Angelone (0:54)
You wish you had a house of games.
Mike Rice (0:55)
You would have an empire of dust, that's right.
Vittorio Angelone (0:57)
Yeah, you'd have a house of sweets and crisps.
Mike Rice (0:58)
That's a large house full of fucking charitable cheese coming out your ears.
Vittorio Angelone (1:03)
What was the motivation? I don't know what the motivation was to me. I know, remember what you just said. I wanted to get shredded for a laugh.
SPEAKER_1 (1:10)
Yeah, for a laugh. Really funny.
Vittorio Angelone (1:15)
Back in the game, guess who's back in the news.
SPEAKER_1 (1:17)
You're looking great.
Vittorio Angelone (1:18)
Thank you very much. We'll just do it word for word, exactly why.
SPEAKER_1 (1:22)
Have you lost some weight?
Vittorio Angelone (1:23)
I have lost much, many weight. I've lost, yeah, I lost two stone. I was trying to work out the actual... Yeah, I wanted to get in mad shape for a laugh. Okay. I thought it'd be quite funny. And also like achievable only briefly in your life to like reasonably be able to get like six pack, like stupidly like ripped. And I was sort of aiming for that. And then after losing like two stone of weight, which a lot of people said, I didn't really have two stone to lose.
Mike Rice (1:49)
Yeah, you were a beautiful, what's the word, Rubenesque boy.
Vittorio Angelone (1:58)
I'm going to assume that's not the right word.
Mike Rice (2:00)
Do you remember when Johnny Sack was describing his wife? And he's like, I never cared that she was fat. She was Rubesque or there's some word used.
Peter Flanagan (2:08)
Does that describe Vittorio?
Mike Rice (2:10)
Yes, he was Rubenesque.
Peter Flanagan (2:13)
He was fat, I just love him for who he is.
Mike Rice (2:15)
I thought he was beautiful, this big, gorgeous, succulent, Italian bottom and he was going around. But no, he was, you look great, you were flugging it.
Peter Flanagan (2:24)
Yeah, you look like a handsome young fella, a handsome young buck around town.
Mike Rice (2:26)
Now, to be fair, you do look even, you know, like the jaw now is...
Vittorio Angelone (2:31)
The frustration is...
Mike Rice (2:32)
The jaw does look great.
Vittorio Angelone (2:34)
It's all come off my face and feet.
Mike Rice (2:37)
Yes.
Vittorio Angelone (2:37)
I'm down a shoe size, Peter. How do you lose fuck nose?
Mike Rice (2:41)
He had fat little feet on him. He did fat little Italian paws on him.
Peter Flanagan (2:45)
He had wobbly little ankles.
Vittorio Angelone (2:47)
I don't know what the fuck was going on, but all my shoes are too loose now. Really?
SPEAKER_1 (2:51)
You were storing fat in your heel.
Vittorio Angelone (2:53)
And I still have a fucking wee... I can't... I don't have a sex bag.
Mike Rice (2:57)
He had little jelly feet. He had little feet made of jelly. They'd be wobbling around and...
Vittorio Angelone (3:03)
God knows how I ever fell over at any point in my life.
Mike Rice (3:05)
Yes, that's incredible. Wow. Yeah, he wanted... He said to me one day, he said... He said, I'm gonna get fucking just ripped and tanked. Would not be hilarious. I'm like, I don't know if it'd be the funniest thing ever. You know what I mean?
Peter Flanagan (3:18)
Yeah.
Mike Rice (3:19)
Because, you know, you'll just look class.
