Matthew Perry was more than Chandler Bing. In this powerful, 15-minute episode, we go beyond the laugh track to explore his real story — from childhood pain to global stardom, through a decades-long battle with addiction, near-death experiences, and hard-won moments of recovery.
Using insights from his memoir Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing and credible sources, we dive deep into the man behind the sarcasm. This episode is part tribute, part cautionary tale, and part message of hope for anyone battling their own “Big Terrible Thing.”
You’ll hear:
- How Perry’s early life shaped his humor and hunger for fame
- The inside story of Friends and why he doesn’t remember three entire seasons
- His terrifying health battles, including a 2% chance of survival
- What recovery meant to him — and how he wanted to be remembered
🎧 If you’re struggling with addiction, this episode is for you. You are not alone.
