David Boyle's Road Trip: Small Towns, Family Reunions, and Mushroom Adventures
It's time to leave the state for the first time in Nine Months. I'm fucking ready.
Picture this: a comedian on a road trip from Melbourne to Sydney, navigating the quirks of small-town Australia while reflecting on sobriety. In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', David Boyle offers a hilarious and heartfelt look at his journey. Starting with Albury-Wodonga, Boyle paints a vivid picture of this typical Aussie town, complete with a Holden dealership and a KFC. His witty observations bring these seemingly mundane stops to life, making you feel like you're right there with him.
But it’s not just about the towns. Boyle shares his excitement and anxiety about reconnecting with family after two years, especially his visit to Port Macquarie where his mum lives. The catch?

The trip takes a twist when Boyle plans to meet a friend in Coffs Harbour who has promised him a bag of mushrooms.
He humorously debates whether to microdose or go all out, adding an unexpected layer to his journey.
