Tom Farley Remembers Chris Farley: Family, Fame, and Recovery on Dopey

Chris Farley was a brilliant comedian, a brilliant actor and, seeming like just a great guy. Years Later and after writing a book about him and interviewing all his friends and people that knew him, I'm finally coming around to that.
Ever wondered what it was like growing up with the legendary Chris Farley? In this heartfelt episode of Dopey, Tom Farley takes listeners on a nostalgic journey through his brother's life. From their childhood antics to Chris's meteoric rise in comedy, Tom paints a vivid picture of both the laughter and the struggles that defined their family.
As Chris's fame grew, so did his battle with addiction, leading to a tragic end that left a lasting impact on those who loved him. But the story doesn't stop there. Tom shares how running the Chris Farley Foundation became a turning point in his own recovery journey, offering hope and healing through his work. The episode is sprinkled with voicemails and listener stories, adding a layer of community and support that makes Dopey so special.
It's a pre-holiday episode filled with raw emotion, candid reflections, and a reminder that even in the darkest times, recovery and connection are possible.
