In this engaging episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol,' comedian David Boyle takes listeners on a humorous journey through his last day of work for the year. The episode begins with Boyle announcing his holiday, expressing a mix of relief and excitement about officially starting his time off. His candid storytelling gives fans a glimpse into his plans, which include an all-nighter before heading to the airport at 5 AM for a trip that will take him through a six-hour layover in Bangkok, Thailand, before reaching India.
Boyle finds himself in a humorous dilemma, contemplating whether to leave the airport during his layover or stay put and record his 'Fucked Up Friday' podcast episode. Among the amusing options he considers is a quick trip to Cosine Road, although he eventually decides against it due to practical constraints. The narrative takes an unexpected turn when Boyle shares an anecdote about a coworker who, while on a 12-day partying spree, inadvertently bumps into a podcast listener at a pub.

He recounts the satisfaction of leaving work for the year, describing a laid-back final day filled with amusing distractions and the camaraderie of coworkers who shared his reluctance to exert effort on the last day.
As he prepares for his minimalist journey to India, with only a small backpack and plans to purchase necessary items upon arrival, Boyle's narrative captures the essence of a man embracing freedom and adventure. This episode is a testament to Boyle's comedic flair and his ability to turn everyday occurrences into entertaining storytelling.
