David Boyle on Tech, Exercise, and Staying Sober
Everything is like a fat trainer.
Ever wondered how technology can influence your journey to sobriety? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle offers a humorous yet insightful look into his experiences with gadgets and exercise while staying sober. Boyle kicks things off by sharing his frustrations with his new Samsung fold phone, a gift from his father-in-law.
Despite its impressive features, the phone turned into a three-month ordeal just to transfer data, leading Boyle to despise it and reduce his smartphone use altogether. He also touches on the pitfalls of over-relying on GPS, adding his unique comedic twist to the discussion. Moving on to exercise, Boyle reveals how a pair of earbuds became a game-changer for his fitness routine. They motivated him to work out more and even learn new things.
However, he humorously points out the downside of listening to comedy podcasts, including his own, while exercising—it can be a real demotivator! Boyle's anti-Goggins philosophy shines through as he encourages listeners to take breaks without guilt and quit activities they don't enjoy. This episode is a perfect blend of laughter and real talk about technology, fitness, and the ongoing journey of quitting alcohol. Whether you're looking for a laugh or some honest advice, Boyle's reflections are sure to resonate.
