David Boyle’s First Day Back: Hilarity on the Job Site
Episode Overview
David Boyle's first day back at work after four years. Surprising high wages for minimal effort in construction. Eclectic mix of co-workers from various backgrounds. Physical challenges of working long hours. Humorous personal anecdotes and family moments.
It feels like the bad kids or the degenerates at school that got kicked out of every class that never did anything with their life have ended up somehow altogether in this job.
David Boyle is back at it with his podcast 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', and this time he's taking us through his first day back at work after a four-year hiatus. Boyle's new job in construction is anything but ordinary. From the eclectic mix of co-workers to the surprisingly high pay for what seems like minimal effort, Boyle's experiences are both hilarious and eye-opening.
You'll hear about his bewilderment at the wages, the odd crew he’s working with, and the reality of spending 12 hours on a job site. Despite the physical toll, Boyle finds the work manageable and even somewhat rewarding, especially compared to his past jobs. The episode also touches on his personal life, including a comical moment involving his mum and a half-drunk wine bottle.
Boyle’s candid storytelling and knack for finding humour in the mundane make this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in the trials and tribulations of returning to work sober.
