“It takes guys a minute to fucking ease into fatherhood men. Aren't that naturally paternal or empathetic? We just aren't. It's not in our system.”

In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', Boyle dives into the messy, emotional, and often hilarious reality of becoming a dad. Reflecting on a friend's recent transition to fatherhood, he shares his own experiences and the unexpected challenges that come with the territory.
