'You buy two seeds of jackfruit for four rupees, scan the QR code, and you're done!'
David Boyle is back with another episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol,' and this time he's taking you on a wild ride through the cashless society of India. Boyle, a comedian with a knack for turning everyday frustrations into comedy gold, shares his experiences of navigating a world where cash is practically obsolete. Imagine trying to buy something as simple as jackfruit and being told there's no change - that's the reality Boyle faces daily.
With his signature humour, he talks about the struggles of using an international credit card and the unexpected convenience of the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) system. Boyle also shares a funny anecdote about a businessman who explains how even the smallest vendors have adopted this cashless system, yet remain off the tax radar - for now. He wraps up with some thoughts on the broader implications of this shift, hinting at future government control and the ease of digital payments.
This episode is a hilarious yet eye-opening look at modern financial systems through the eyes of someone just trying to get by without cash. Tune in for laughs, insights, and maybe a few tips on surviving in a cashless world.
