Damaged, Not Done: Laughing Through Family Wreckage πβ€οΈβπ₯π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦
Some stories heal you because they make you laugh when you shouldnβt.
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.
βWhen things get serious, I think of a joke β not because Iβm broken, but because humorβs how I survive.β
β John Colbert, author of Damaged Goods
Itβs a funny, real, and deeply relatable conversation about love, fatherhood, and finding grace in the absurd.
