Damaged, Not Done: Laughing Through Family Wreckage πŸŒŠβ€οΈβ€πŸ”₯πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦

Some stories heal you because they make you laugh when you shouldn’t.

In this episode, author and ad man John Colbert joins Greg and Marc for a wild, heartfelt ride through family, grief, and the creative mess of staying human. His book Damaged Goods captures how humor keeps us alive β€” even in the wreckage. From Star Wars nostalgia to parenting chaos, John shows us how laughter and loss can share the same heartbeat.

β€œWhen things get serious, I think of a joke β€” not because I’m broken, but because humor’s how I survive.”
β€” John Colbert, author of Damaged Goods

It’s a funny, real, and deeply relatable conversation about love, fatherhood, and finding grace in the absurd.
