David Boyle, the comedian behind 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', brings another hilarious and relatable episode as he navigates the tricky waters of job hunting while staying sober. Boyle candidly shares his recent attempts at finding work, driven by the need to pay off credit cards and loans. However, his half-hearted efforts are evident as he sends out resumes with minimal enthusiasm and little embellishment.
His description of applying for a job operating a 75-metre elevated work platform is both amusing and nerve-wracking. Boyle recounts watching a YouTube video of the job in action, which almost gives him a panic attack just from the sheer height and wobbliness of the platform. His wife’s reaction is priceless as she firmly opposes the idea, concerned for his safety. Despite his bravado, Boyle admits he would be terrified doing such a job.
This episode is a rollercoaster of emotions, from financial stress to the absurdity of job applications and the challenges of staying sober amidst it all. Boyle’s humour and honesty make this episode a must-listen for anyone looking for a good laugh and some genuine insight into the struggles of sobriety and financial woes.
