David Boyle is back with another hilarious and heartfelt episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol'. This time, he shares the epic story of how he pulled off the ultimate surprise for his wife on their 10th anniversary. Boyle has a knack for turning everyday situations into comedic gold, and this episode is no exception. For months, he meticulously planned to send his wife to India for her dad's 70th birthday, all while keeping her completely in the dark.
Boyle's tale is filled with humour, stress, and the kind of chaos only he can bring to life. From breaking into his wife's computer to contact her manager, to selling shares at a massive loss just to buy a plane ticket, Boyle's dedication to this surprise is both touching and laugh-out-loud funny.
The episode captures the rollercoaster of emotions he experienced, including the tough month leading up to the big reveal where his wife was low-key hating him for not planning anything special. The culmination? A tear-jerking moment when she discovers the surprise boarding pass in the car's glove box. But it's not all smooth sailing – Boyle is left to juggle gigs and parenting duties solo for eight days, leading to more comedic mishaps.
Tune in for a mix of laughter, love, and a lesson in how sometimes, grand gestures are worth the effort.
