You've gotta have the yellow between the fingers from smoking too many cigarettes that you picked up off the ground. I want to see you looking in the bin for a cigarette. I also don't want to see you holding up a sign like one of those honest signs: hey, need to buy some weed and a burrito. Fuck you.
Ever had a moment that made you rethink your entire approach to helping others? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle recounts a simple act of buying a meat pie for a homeless man, which spiraled into a deeper reflection on the complexities of giving. Boyle's unique blend of humor and honesty shines through as he shares his experiences living in areas with high numbers of homeless people.
He talks about the common tactics used by those seeking handouts and how he's learned to spot genuine desperation. Boyle's perspective is both eye-opening and thought-provoking, raising important questions about the fine line between offering help and enabling dependency. If you're curious about how to make a real difference without getting played, this episode offers valuable insights wrapped in Boyle's signature comedic style.
