David Boyle, the comedian behind 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', shares an entertaining yet thought-provoking episode that dives into his reflections on comedy, work, and history. Boyle, known for his raw and unfiltered humour, starts by recounting his experiences working next to a tunnel driller and how he navigates the complexities of his job. He amusingly compares the learning curves of various professions he's been in, highlighting how comedy stands out as a craft that takes years to master.
His candid take on the value of comedy, and the gruelling journey to become proficient, offers a refreshing perspective on the art form's worth. Boyle then shifts gears to 'Boyle Breaks History', focusing on Executive Order 6102 issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933. With his signature humour, he explains how the order mandated Americans to surrender their privately held gold to the Federal Reserve in exchange for paper money.
Boyle's disbelief and witty commentary make this historical event both engaging and informative. He underscores the absurdity of the situation by detailing how, just months later, the government revalued gold, essentially devaluing the currency they had just given out. This episode is a rollercoaster of humour, history, and personal anecdotes that will leave you both entertained and enlightened. Whether you're interested in comedy, history, or just looking for a good laugh, Boyle's unique storytelling will keep you hooked.
