Did Vittorio Get Spiked by a Redneck?

At 10:28 · chapter starts 1:29

This is the episode's showpiece opening story. Vittorio went to Nashville for a show, had a couple of drinks, played pool — and absolutely demolished a pair of rednecks, showboating the whole time. His working theory: the redneck (actual name Jimbo) spiked his drink in revenge. He woke up violently ill, unable to stop vomiting, and eventually ended up in an urgent care clinic beside a burger restaurant. The staff told him drink spiking was very common in that part of Nashville. He was injected in the backside with an anti-vomiting drug for $200 — far less than he expected from US healthcare — and then, still shaking, called his mum from Nashville Airport and typed 'ankle injury' into the accessibility app to get himself wheeled to his gate. Chris finds this equal parts appalling and hilarious.
