David Boyle's Luxurious Dinner and Hair-Raising Ride: A Sober Tale
I'm like: why the fuck are we going for a walk? Let's get this fucking dinner over and done with. And she's like: I'm just grabbing some food. She's like: no, she's like: no, we ordered some empire, just some fucking grilled chicken and shit. She's like: I knew you weren't going to be happy. I'm like: why did we drive all that way across town? I'm just like standing there, just going like: what the fuck am I doing here?
Imagine being dragged to a fancy dinner you never wanted to attend. That's exactly what happened to comedian David Boyle in this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol'. Boyle finds himself at the opulent Leela Palace, reluctantly joining his wife and her aunt for an evening he would rather skip. With his signature humor, he paints a vivid picture of the awkward walk with his aunt-in-law, the over-the-top dinner, and the guilt-tripping that ensues.
It's a relatable scenario for anyone who's been roped into a family event they weren't keen on attending. But the real adventure begins after the dinner. Boyle opts for a Rapido motorcycle ride home through the bustling streets of India. He describes the experience as both exhilarating and terrifying, thanks to the breakneck speed and chaotic traffic. Through it all, Boyle's commitment to sobriety remains unwavering, even when faced with such stressors.
This episode is a hilarious and honest look at the ups and downs of staying sober, complete with quirky family moments and unexpected thrills.
