Comedian David Boyle is back with another episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', and this time, he's got a lot to unpack. Starting with the heavyweight boxing world, Boyle reflects on Tyson Fury's unexpected defeat by Alexander Usik, questioning what this means for the future of heavyweight champions. With his signature blend of humour and candidness, Boyle gives his take on the fight's highlights and the implications for Fury's career. But that's just the warm-up.
The episode takes a turn into geopolitical territory as Boyle discusses the hug between Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping in China. This seemingly small gesture sparks a deep dive into the potential ramifications for global alliances and the spectre of World War III. Boyle's musings are both entertaining and thought-provoking, as he runs through various 'game theory' scenarios about where one might want to be if the world goes to pieces.
From Australia’s lockdown policies to Canada’s potential as a safe haven, and even the possibility of hiding out in Spain or Southeast Asia, Boyle leaves no stone unturned. His reflections on these global issues are delivered with his usual irreverent humour, making complex topics accessible and engaging. If you're up for a mix of sports commentary, global politics, and a comedian’s take on survival strategies, this episode is a must-listen.
