Rubbin's racing. Rubbing is racing. I don't know what movie he's jacked that from, but his version of rubbing is racing, is he'll have beers, then jump in his car and go for a drive and find someone to race, and when he's racing them he'll nudge their car with his car.
What happens when a love for speed meets a dangerous drinking habit? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle sits down with Andrew Roberts, a man whose passion for street racing collided head-on with his alcohol addiction. Roberts opens up about his reckless behavior, often fueled by heavy drinking, which led him to race through the streets with little regard for safety.
He refers to it as 'rubbing is racing', a phrase that captures the risky nature of his actions. Roberts shares a particularly harrowing incident where, after a night of heavy drinking, he got into a street race with another driver. The race ended with a punch to the face at a traffic light, a wake-up call that pushed him to reconsider his life choices. Despite this, Boyle remains skeptical about Roberts' ability to stay sober, given his history of self-sabotage.
This episode doesn't just highlight the dangers of drunk driving and street racing; it delves into the broader challenges of addiction and recovery. Boyle and Roberts discuss how addiction strains relationships and the critical role of support systems in overcoming such struggles. They also touch on the importance of self-reflection and finding humor even in dark times.
If you're curious about the real-life consequences of mixing alcohol with risky behavior, or if you're looking for an honest discussion about the hurdles of sobriety, this episode is for you. Boyle's raw and candid conversation with Roberts offers a sobering look at the impact of addiction and the difficult journey towards recovery.
