Comedian David Boyle is back with another candid and hilarious episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol'.

The responses are both amusing and thought-provoking, revealing a shared sense of uncertainty and a lack of direction.
Boyle's colleague from Chile, a father of four, admits he has no idea what the future holds, while a younger Aussie co-worker is more focused on short-term pleasures than any distant goals.

He paints a vivid picture of their work environment, describing it as a 'big sandstone pit' where everyone is just trying to get by. The episode is a mix of humour, reality, and a bit of despair, all wrapped up in Boyle's unique comedic style. If you're looking for a laugh and some food for thought about life's bigger picture, this episode is worth your time.
