What was said
"I read the 12 Rules for Life book. Did you really? I found it helpful. And made my girlfriend watch it when I was 22. I'm so embarrassed. Something about me and my audience would hate the fact that I really find Jordan Peterson very helpful. But like, he was like helpful and informative."
Angelone admits he found Jordan Peterson's self-help book beneficial when he was 22, despite knowing his progressive comedy audience would disapprove. He describes needing someone to tell him to 'grow up, get your shit together' and says he tries to be honest about finding value in Peterson's work even though 'then it went a bit crazy.' He emphasizes the importance of being open about these influences despite potential backlash.
