David Boyle, the comedian behind the podcast 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', brings his unique brand of humour and honesty to the fore in this episode. Boyle shares the chaos of his work life, where a supervisor's relentless work ethic leaves him bewildered and exhausted. As Boyle navigates the daily grind, he finds solace in the quiet of an empty house, with his kids visiting their grandfather.
His unexpected encounter at a bookstore in the Blue Mountains leads to a bargain on antique books that sparks joy and frustration in equal measure. Boyle's reflections take a turn as he tackles a question from listener Jazzy Benskota about addiction and investing in Bitcoin. With characteristic bluntness, Boyle defends his Bitcoin investments as a calculated move rather than gambling, despite acknowledging his addictive tendencies.
He opens up about his struggle with phone addiction, likening it to a constant need for dopamine hits that have entrenched themselves deeply into his routine. Boyle's candid approach reveals the complexities of addiction, whether it's alcohol, investing, or technology. His ability to laugh at life's absurdities while facing serious challenges makes this episode both entertaining and thought-provoking. As Boyle tackles these themes with raw honesty, he invites you to reflect on your own habits and addictions.
