312: The Harm in Humor: What April Fool’s Taught Us About Kindness


Listen Later

In this episode, Corrine and Neil open up about a topic that doesn’t often get talked about seriously: the dark side of humor. From painful middle school memories to grown-up mistakes made in a split second on social media, they get real about the fine line between making people laugh and unintentionally hurting someone’s feelings.


They talk candidly about why April Fool’s Day can feel triggering, how jokes at someone else’s expense often backfire, and how a quick laugh isn’t worth the cost of someone’s dignity. They also share powerful examples from their own life—moments they regret and lessons they’ve learned—plus what it really looks like to repent, repair, and aim for more thoughtful humor.


The episode touches on everything from text group slip-ups to the brilliance of comedians like Nate Bargatze and the legacy of Robin Williams. It’s a message about leading with kindness, thinking before speaking, and how humor, when used well, can still bring light and connection without leaving anyone behind.
