David Boyle, the comedian behind 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', is back with another hilarious and brutally honest episode titled '5 Years 101 Days - The Elephant Graveyard'. In this episode, Boyle dives into his latest obsession: a YouTube channel called 'The Elephant Graveyard'. This channel, which has become his go-to for laughs, is known for its satirical takedowns of big-name comedians like Joe Rogan, Brendan Schaub, and Jordan Peterson.
Boyle recounts how he and his wife laughed uncontrollably while watching a particularly savage video that critiques Rogan's comedy career and personality. The voiceover artist on the channel, whom Boyle describes as funnier than any stand-up comedian, has a soothing yet cutting delivery that makes the content irresistibly entertaining. Boyle reflects on the nature of satire and how even the most revered figures in comedy are not immune to criticism.
He also shares his mixed feelings about channels that solely focus on tearing down others but admits that 'The Elephant Graveyard' is an exception due to its clever and humorous approach. Boyle humorously contemplates his own vulnerability to such scrutiny and concludes with a light-hearted anecdote about his struggles with chemical-free sunscreen. This episode is a rollercoaster of laughter, sharp commentary, and personal musings, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in comedy and cultural critique.
