David Boyle's Sari Adventure: Sobriety, Vlogging, and Indian Cows
They can push through something they're not enjoying without making everyone in a hundred square kilometers of them miserable as well.
Ever found yourself in a situation where you wished you could just blend in and enjoy something you don't actually like? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle takes us to a sari-making event in India. Surrounded by people without masks, Boyle navigates the social setting with his trademark humor and raw honesty. He reflects on the art of pretending to enjoy things—a skill he believes many successful people have mastered, but one that eludes him.
Boyle also dives into his thoughts on vlogging. Unlike the polished vloggers who always seem prepared, he admits to turning the camera on and panicking. His vlog, humorously titled 'Some things are fucking shit', is a candid journey through his day, pointing out things he finds terrible. This episode isn't just about saris and vlogging; it's also about the cows that caught Boyle's attention more than the actual sari-making process.
As the episode wraps up, Boyle shares his readiness for another lockdown or a proper holiday. It's a mix of humor, candid reflections, and the everyday struggles of someone on the path to sobriety. Whether you're on your own journey to quit alcohol or just in need of a good laugh, this episode offers a bit of both.
