Comedian David Boyle is back with another candid and hilarious episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol'. This time, Boyle dives into the existential crisis of the daily grind, asking his workmates about their long-term plans. 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. Boyle's reflections on the high cost of living in Sydney and the seemingly impossible dream of homeownership add a layer of sobering reality to the conversation.
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.
