David Boyle's Hilarious Take on Olympic History

The world being flat isn't really going to change my perspective on things. So finding out the world is flat is not going to rock the foundations of my reality.
Ever wondered how the ancient Olympic Games morphed into the global spectacle we know today? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle takes us on a whirlwind tour through the history of the Olympics. From its origins in ancient Olympia to its resurrection in modern Athens, Boyle’s journey is anything but a dry history lesson. He sprinkles in his signature humor and offbeat insights, making even the most obscure facts entertaining.
Along the way, he touches on some eyebrow-raising controversies, like the time a Roman emperor banned the games altogether. Boyle doesn’t stop there—he throws in some amusing takes on Australian athletes and even dives into flat Earth theories. Whether you’re a history buff or just in need of a good laugh, this episode offers a unique blend of education and entertainment. Perfect for anyone who loves a good story with a side of comedy.
