The Modern Meeting
Ep. 122 - Losing Chris, Finding Myself | Tom Farley Jr.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you grew up in the '90s, Chris Farley was probably the funniest person alive to you. Tom Farley is his older brother, and he's in recovery himself. For years Tom told Chris's story while quietly avoiding his own. In this conversation he gets into both. He talks about the afternoon a sober musician made him want something he didn't have, the friend who tricked him into his first meeting, and the night he watched his famous brother walk into a run-down room in Hell's Kitchen and say something Tom never expected to hear. He gets into what it was like to be surrounded by people and feel completely alone, the one thing he believes pulled Chris back under, and the relationship he still has with his brother almost thirty years after he died.
If you’re struggling right now, you’re not alone.
