David Boyle on Nerd Culture: Comedy, Risks, and Marvel Mania

But nerds, nerds These Days they're not even like bookworm nerds. I can respect a reading nerd, not a Harry Potter reading nerd or a lord of the rings reading nerd. But like a book reading nerd- the classics- I wouldn't even consider that a nerd. That's just a well read, well rounded human being.
Picture comedian David Boyle, known for his sharp wit and unfiltered humor, diving into the world of nerds. In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', Boyle tackles the rise of nerd culture and its ever-growing influence on society and the arts. He humorously explores how nerds, with their passion for Marvel comics and movies, have become financial powerhouses willing to take risks on new experiences.
Boyle doesn't stop there; he ponders what truly makes someone a 'nerd' and the tension that exists between self-proclaimed nerds and non-nerds. With his usual irreverence, he examines how this cultural shift impacts comedy, for better or worse. Whether you identify as a nerd or just enjoy a good laugh, this episode offers a hilarious and thought-provoking look at how nerd culture is reshaping the landscape of comedy.
