Remembering Matthew Perry: Over the Teacup Tribute Oct 2023

In this episode, we remember Matthew Perry, who passed away on October 29, 2023. Perry was a beloved actor who gained international recognition for his role as Chandler Bing on the hit sitcom “Friends.” However, he wanted to be remembered for more than just his acting career. In a 2022 interview with the “Q With Tom Power” podcast, Perry discussed his legacy and what he wanted to be remembered for most. He said, “I would like to be remembered as somebody who lived well, loved well, and was a seeker.” And his paramount thing is that he wanted to help people. “That’s what I want.”

Perry was open about his struggles with alcohol and drug abuse throughout his career. He became addicted to Vicodin after a jet ski accident in 1997 and went to rehab in 2001. He later turned his former Malibu home into a sober living facility called the Perry House, which ran until 2015. In 2021, Perry declared that he was sober and estimated that he spent $9 million on his road to sobriety.

In this episode, we will discuss Perry’s life and legacy beyond “Friends.” We will explore his journey to sobriety and how he helped others struggling with addiction. We will also discuss his philanthropic work and how he used his platform to make a positive impact on the world. Stay tuned for an emotional episode as we remember Matthew Perry and celebrate his life.
