In this episode, we reflect on the life and legacy of Matthew Perry, best known for his iconic role as Chandler Bing on Friends. We explore Perry’s lifelong battle with addiction, which he candidly documented in his memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing. Perry tragically passed away in 2023 from a ketamine overdose, and in the following year, several individuals were charged in connection with the case. We also discuss the media’s reaction to his death, the support from his Friends co-stars, and the broader conversation around addiction and the disparities in how it’s addressed.
