'Double bubble, baby, double bubble. I don't want to do any hours. How does zero sound?'
David Boyle is back with another hilarious yet thought-provoking episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol'. This time, he’s talking about his latest milestone – completing all the necessary certifications to become a highly employable construction worker. From electrical spotters to heavy rigid truck licenses, Boyle has done it all, but he’s not exactly thrilled about the prospect of using any of it.
He humorously recounts an encounter with an older Irish man who offered him work, and Boyle’s reluctance to commit to long hours and overtime, which he calls 'double bubble'. Boyle’s comedic touch shines through as he describes his disdain for the traditional work grind. He reflects on his friend Shawnee’s excitement over a 14-hour shift and the hefty pay that comes with it, contrasting it with his own aversion to being 'locked down' by what he terms the 'golden handcuffs'.
Amidst his humour, Boyle also touches on deeper themes, like the importance of stepping back from the negativity in the world and focusing on sending out positive energy. Adding to the mix, Boyle shares snippets from his personal life, including a funny story about his friend Richie, a fellow comedian and massive Liverpool supporter. Richie’s antics, like falling asleep on Boyle’s couch after a night out, provide light-hearted moments that balance the episode’s more serious reflections.
Boyle wraps up by encouraging his audience to check out the latest instalment of his 'DeGenny Diaries', where he chats with Kev, a friend from Toronto. He also talks about his struggles with feeling guilty for not engaging with the world’s atrocities and his attempts to find a balance between awareness and self-care. If you’re looking for a mix of humour, personal anecdotes, and a bit of wisdom, this episode is definitely worth a listen.
Boyle’s unique perspective on sobriety and life’s challenges will leave you both entertained and thoughtful.
