David Boyle is back with another hilarious yet eye-opening episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol'. This time, Boyle takes you on a wild ride as he recounts his day attempting to get his Heavy Rigid (HR) truck licence. From the crack of dawn at 6 a.m., Boyle's adventure begins in the less-than-glamorous locale of Prestons, navigating a series of chaotic events that are both comical and exasperating.
Boyle's guide for the day is an Indian man who, let's just say, runs a rather 'informal' operation. Picture a truck that looks like it's about to be decommissioned, littered with fast food wrappers and handwritten post-it notes from decades past. The instructor himself? Barefoot and chewing betel leaf, which he spits into a bottle as Boyle tries to focus on driving.
If that doesn't sound distracting enough, the instructor is also constantly on the phone, yelling at Boyle, and making up mistakes just to keep things interesting. Despite these less-than-ideal conditions, Boyle manages to pass his test. He shares the ups and downs of the day, including a memorable lunch break where he gorges on Chinese food, leading to a near-comatose state followed by caffeine jitters.
Just as he's about to take his test, nature calls, but finding a toilet in an industrial area proves to be another challenge. Boyle's storytelling is raw and unfiltered, filled with humour and colourful language that paints a vivid picture of his day. Whether you're looking for a laugh or some honest insight into the trials of sobriety and everyday life, this episode is sure to deliver. Don't miss out on this rollercoaster of an episode.
It's a wild ride that might just make your own challenges seem a little more manageable.
