David Boyle is back with another episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', and this time he's taking on the glitzy spectacle of the Las Vegas Sphere. Boyle's sharp wit and sardonic humour shine as he recounts his underwhelming experience at the UFC event held at this modern marvel. Describing the Sphere as a 'giant round TV in the middle of the desert', Boyle questions the societal obsession with screens and technology, likening it to worshipping a modern-day deity.
His reflections on the Sphere's impressive yet numbing visuals make for a thought-provoking listen, as he grapples with the surreal experience of being immersed in a 360-degree Amazon jungle projection that ultimately left him feeling detached and empty. But it's not all doom and gloom. Boyle's comedic touch lightens the mood as he shares his joy over getting a proper sleep for the first time in a week, highlighting the small victories that come with sobriety.
He also touches on upcoming changes in his life, including a potential job relocation and plans for the Perth Fringe Festival and a trip to India. Boyle's candid storytelling offers a raw and honest look at his journey from 'alcoholic maniac to sober lunatic', making this episode both relatable and entertaining. Why should you tune in? Boyle's unique blend of humour and introspection provides a refreshing take on sobriety, making you laugh while also giving you something to ponder.
Whether you're navigating your own journey to sobriety or just looking for a good laugh, this episode has something for everyone.
