Ever wondered what happens when you mix comedy with the chaos of sobriety? Comedian David Boyle shares his unique take on work life, offering listeners a humorous peek into his daily struggles with punctuality. In this episode, Boyle recounts receiving a message from his boss about consistently being late to pre-start meetings. With his characteristic wit, he examines the absurdity of workplace expectations and the idea of success, questioning whether it's really worth sacrificing family time for a job.

Boyle's narrative is peppered with amusing anecdotes about his interactions with colleagues and the 'rat' culture at work, where someone allegedly reported him for his tardiness. He hilariously describes how being late is as natural to him as the ocean waves, suggesting that changing his behaviour would require monumental effort from his employer.

As he contemplates quitting, he leaves listeners with a laugh and a reminder that sometimes, breaking the rules is just part of the journey. So, what would you do if your boss expected you to be early every day? Are you last one in, first one out too?
