Comedian David Boyle is back in this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', sharing his hilarious and raw journey towards sobriety. Boyle kicks things off with a humorous take on the importance of sleep, claiming that seven hours is his magic number for feeling human again. He dives into his struggle with morning erections and whether he’s too sophisticated for boner jokes now. Boyle's witty reflections on sleep, setting alarms to be late, and battling traffic keep the laughs coming.
He also discusses the impact of sunlight on his energy levels and how it drains him during his commute. Boyle’s solution? A new routine involving a pit stop for coffee and chili biltong, which has transformed his drive home from a battle against drowsiness to a moment of pure enjoyment. Listening to Noam Chomsky while munching on biltong, Boyle finds solace in the philosopher's voice, even if he feels dumber for it.
His comedic take on trying to sound smart by repeating snippets of Chomsky’s wisdom is both relatable and laugh-out-loud funny. Boyle’s candidness about his shortcomings and determination to improve, all while keeping a sense of humour, makes this episode a must-listen. So, if you’re in need of a good laugh and some honest reflections on the road to sobriety, tune in to hear Boyle’s latest escapades.
