In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle shares his latest challenge - a mysterious ringing in his left ear. Boyle humorously describes the sound as a low-light whizzing, similar to a computer fan, which started suddenly and has been bothering him ever since. He even contemplates his own tongue-in-cheek advice about bloodletting, referencing historical figures like George Washington in his usual irreverent style.
The episode takes a more serious turn as Boyle recounts a story about a former colleague diagnosed with schizophrenia. Through this anecdote, he explores themes of mental health, societal pressures, and the importance of keeping busy. Boyle's unique blend of humour and raw honesty makes this episode both entertaining and thought-provoking. Tune in to hear Boyle's musings on tinnitus, mental health, and his plans for a psychoanalysis of an email from a listener who claims to read minds.
It's an episode that promises laughter, reflection, and perhaps a bit of self-discovery.
