David Boyle's Toothache Drama and Boxer Showdown
It's not even my tooth, it's my fucking jaw. You need a specialist to get all the way down to the bottom of the root. She's like: oh, you did see, even a specialist couldn't get it all the way. The specialist who you saw has left a little bit of nerve in the end of one of those fucking roots of that tooth, and that little bit of nerve is inflamed, and that's what's causing the pain.
David Boyle's podcast 'I'm Quitting Alcohol' never fails to surprise, and this episode is no exception. Picture this: Boyle finds himself in the emergency room, battling a toothache that over-the-counter painkillers just can't fix. The frustration and anxiety are palpable as he faces the prospect of a tooth extraction right before a trip to India. But the real twist?

Boyle shares Harding's rise to fame and his struggles with alcoholism, culminating in an unexpected street altercation. This episode offers a raw and honest look at the unpredictable journey of sobriety, highlighting the importance of pain management and professional dental care. It's a reminder that addiction can touch anyone, even world champions.
