Episode Overview

  • Finding housing in Boston can be a frustrating maze with economic barriers.

"America is trying to keep me in my box. And I'm trying to leave the box. Not for my sake. For my children's sake."
Ever wondered what it takes to break free from the constraints of societal boxes? Comedian David Boyle shares his daily musings on sobriety and life in Boston, where he faces unexpected challenges like the notorious parking woes and the hunt for a new home. In this episode, Boyle humorously navigates the labyrinth of real estate in a city that seems designed to keep you in your economic place.
From battling exorbitant parking fees to the structural barriers of moving into wealthier neighbourhoods, Boyle's candid reflections offer a unique perspective on class struggles. His anecdotes about a delightful dining experience at a local Italian restaurant provide a refreshing contrast to the day's frustrations, highlighting moments of kindness and connection. Boyle's journey is not just about quitting alcohol; it's about challenging the status quo and striving for a better life for his children.
With his signature humour and honesty, Boyle invites listeners to reflect on their own boxes and consider how they might step out of them. Are you ready to laugh, think, and perhaps question the boxes in your own life?
