David Boyle's School Days: The Pig Hunt and Lessons in Resilience

So what some people see as bullying, we see as nurturing, and we're getting the old crew back together Next Weekend and heading down to high point for one last Pighunt.
Picture this: a schoolyard game that’s both hilarious and controversial. In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle takes listeners back to his school days with a tale about a game called the Pig Hunt. This wasn't your typical recess activity; it involved chasing a classmate, affectionately nicknamed Piglet, who had a unique laugh that made him snort like a pig.
While some might see this as bullying, Boyle and his friends believed it was a way to bond and build resilience in Piglet. They argue that this quirky tradition helped Piglet develop a sense of humor about himself and taught him how to handle life's adversities. Through Boyle's witty storytelling, the episode dives into the fine line between playful teasing and bullying, offering a thought-provoking look at how humor can sometimes be a tool for personal growth.
If you’re curious about how childhood antics can shape resilience, this episode is a must-listen.
