Maybe you are quite Peterson-pilled, cleaning your room.

**Vittorio Angelone** (0:03)
Listen, I read the 12 Rules for Life book.

**Chris Williamson** (0:06)
Did you really?

**Vittorio Angelone** (0:06)
I found it helpful.

**Chris Williamson** (0:07)
Did you really?

**Vittorio Angelone** (0:08)
When I was like 22

**Chris Williamson** (0:10)
Are you an ex-Jordan Peterson fan?

**Vittorio Angelone** (0:12)
I'm so embarrassed.
I'm so spiritually, I don't know, something about me and my audience would hate the fact that I really find Jordan Peterson very helpful. I made my girlfriend watch it when I was 22 You're like, look at this guy, Cathy Newman's an idiot, isn't she?
It's terrible. I'm so embarrassed by all of that, but he was helpful and informative. I think it was self-help really, that 12 Rules for Life book, and I needed that. I needed someone to go, come on man, grow up, get your shit together.

**Chris Williamson** (0:51)
Do you think that your audience would guess that you were a previous Jordan Peterson stan?

**Vittorio Angelone** (0:57)
Some of them, some of them, I think won't be, or wouldn't be happy or maybe they'd be surprised. But I think that's where I like to, I try to be honest about that stuff and I would like to hear someone be like, oh yeah, I found that helpful. And then it went a bit crazy. You know?
So I try to be like open about that. I was like, I'm still a dumb idiot guy. This is the problem. I write like, like narrative, thoughtful, thematic stand-up shows. But I'm a fucking idiot. Like, you know what I mean? So it's hard.

**Chris Williamson** (1:29)
You got spiked.

**Vittorio Angelone** (1:30)
I got spiked in Nashville. Listen, allegedly, I don't know. They were like, we could do a toxicology report on you, but it costs like X thousand dollars. And I was like, just give me whatever stops me vomiting right now and I'll be okay. But I thought it was like, I thought it was just like a really unjust hangover. I was in Nashville. I did a show. I went for a couple of drinks afterwards and a game of pool. And I was like, yeah, I had a couple of drinks.
And then I remember like getting back to the or like my friend giving me a lift back to the hotel and me being like, I am fucking trollied right now. Like when did that happen? And then started playing him like Mongolian throat singing on Spotify, which was like that. I mean, I don't know if that's a symptom of being spiked.

**Chris Williamson** (2:21)
By a Mongolian.

**Vittorio Angelone** (2:22)
Yeah, maybe a Mongolian spiked me.
But then I don't remember lots of patches of the evening. And I don't remember getting into the hotel room and like going to bed or whatever. And when I woke up, my phone was like in the bathroom, not plugged in and like all my shit was like all over the hotel room. And I woke up and I just thought it was like a really, you don't get a bad hangover, but you don't think you deserve it. You're like, I didn't, I wasn't that up.

**Chris Williamson** (2:48)
This is unjust.

**Vittorio Angelone** (2:49)
Exactly. It was like, this is not karmically balanced right now. So I got up and then I like vomited. And I was like, God, that was pretty bad.
Did a shit, also pretty bad.
And then I was like, come on, you just got to get your shit together. Like I went, I went full Jordan Peterson. I was like, I just got to tidy my room and I'll be okay. And then I vomited like once every 30 minutes for like the whole month until I checked out. And then I checked out of the hotel and had to go to the toilet in the lobby and throw up there. And I was like, this is not, this is no hangover I've experienced and I've drank a lot in the past.
And so the guy, this guy Ian, who was like filming the show and stuff, he was like still in town and he was like, do you want me to take you to like an IV clinic? And I was like, this is the most like American shit of all time of like go to some weird like spa where they just hook up, hook you up.

**Chris Williamson** (3:45)
In a wave sage at you, do a sound bowl.

**Vittorio Angelone** (3:48)
And then they were closed.
So we were like, oh shit. So we went to Urgent Care, which I don't really know what that is. Like I don't know, the American health care system is like weird. It's not the emergency room, but it's like a step. It's a full.
