In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle prepares for a unique guest—Andrew Roberts, also known as Bogan Jesus. Boyle humorously recounts how he invited Roberts to stay at his house, a decision that seemed great while sober but now feels a bit questionable. Boyle's candid storytelling style shines as he shares the chaos and excitement of hosting Roberts, who is notorious for his wild antics and mullet hairstyle.
Boyle also touches on his ongoing project, the DeGenny Diaries, where he interviews people about their life stories. He finds these conversations fascinating, especially when they involve alcoholics with their myriad of crazy, depressing, or just plain interesting tales. This episode also includes a humorous digression about Boyle's friend Johnny D. Door, who recently became a father at 43. Boyle pokes fun at Door's late entry into parenthood and his naïve optimism about raising a child.
The episode is a blend of personal anecdotes, sharp humour, and raw honesty, making it both entertaining and thought-provoking. Boyle's ability to laugh at his past while navigating sobriety offers a refreshing take on the journey to recovery. If you're looking for a mix of comedy and real-life reflections on quitting alcohol, this episode is a must-listen.
