John Mayer Revisited: A Comfort Food Classic
from Comfort Food with Kelly Rizzo
This week I'm over in Europe, so I'm taking a little time off from recording. But I could never leave you with nothing, so I'm bringing back the episode that means the most to me, and that also happens to be the biggest "audience favorite" episode from Comfort Food Season 1: my conversation with John Mayer.John and I went through an incredibly difficult time together in the wake of losing my husband Bob, and what came out of that friendship is one of the most beautiful, existential conversations I've ever had on this show. We get into grief in a way I'd never heard anyone talk about it before: the "club" you don't even know exists until you're suddenly in it, the strange in-between where someone has left your life but hasn't yet taken up residence in your heart, and John's theory that you can only really cry about something once.We talk about his singular bond with Bob, the private shorthand they built, the jokes only Bob could land, and what it means to keep someone with us just by saying "my friend Bob used to say." And we get into John's own take on life, love, and the idea that kindness is something you can learn and pass on.It's tender, it's funny, and yes, there's eggplant parm at the end. If you've never heard this one, settle in. If you have, you already know.Follow Kelly on Instagram-https://www.instagram.com/kellyrizzo/?hl=enVisit Kelly’s Kitchen- https://kelly-rizzo.com/Join Comfort Club:https://www.comfortclubonline.com/ Hosted on Acast.
