David Boyle is back with another episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', and this time he's diving into the world of private school kids and their perceived advantages in life. Boyle, known for his no-holds-barred approach, tackles the issue head-on, sharing his thoughts on how private school kids seem to have an edge in both sports and comedy.
He starts by discussing the Sydney Swans and Geelong Cats, two top-tier AFL teams, and how their recruiting strategies favour 'good people' from stable backgrounds over more talented players from troubled families. This bias, he argues, extends to comedy as well, where he notes that many successful comedians in Australia come from privileged backgrounds, citing Jim Jeffries as an example. Boyle doesn't hold back as he criticises the system that penalises talented individuals from less fortunate backgrounds.
He shares a story about Dustin Martin, a public school kid with a rough upbringing who defied the odds to become one of the most decorated players in AFL history. Boyle's frustration is palpable as he rails against the societal structures that favour those who 'kiss arse' over those who stand their ground. This episode is a raw and unfiltered look at class disparities and how they impact success in various fields.
Boyle's candid reflections and biting humour make for an engaging listen, especially for those who enjoy a bit of social commentary with their sobriety journey. So, if you're up for some hard truths delivered with a dose of dark humour, this episode is for you.
