Michael Jordan's Partying and Championships: David Boyle's Humorous Take

Jordan has some seriously alcoholic looking eyes in that documentary. They're like fucking brown alcoholic eyes. I've seen those eyes around you.
Imagine being at the top of your game, winning championships, and still finding time to party hard. In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle dives into the intriguing world of Michael Jordan as depicted in 'The Last Dance' documentary. Boyle can't get enough of the documentary and shares his emotional investment in Jordan's story.
But he also spots something others might miss—Jordan's eyes, which he says look like those of someone who's been hitting the bottle a bit too hard. How did Jordan manage to win five championships while partying so much? It's a question that fascinates Boyle, who knows a thing or two about balancing life and addiction.
He doesn't stop at Jordan; Dennis Rodman’s wild nights and Scottie Pippen’s ‘crystal ball’ eyes also get a mention, blending humor with a serious look at the impact of alcohol. Boyle then turns the spotlight on himself, sharing his own struggles with alcohol and drugs, and how giving them up was crucial for his career and well-being. This episode is a rollercoaster of laughs and real talk about addiction and recovery.
Whether you're a sports fan or someone on their own sobriety journey, Boyle’s candid reflections offer both entertainment and food for thought.
