Sam:
What? Andrew Largeman:
Uh, it's Titembay, right? Sam:
Yeah, it weird huh? You're like so freaked out right now. You're like running for the door. It's okay, you can go. Don't feel bad. It's really... Andrew Largeman:
[interrupts irritatingly]
Stop doing that. Sam:
What? Andrew Largeman:
The whole thing you just did. I wanna be here. If I didn't I wouldn't be. Okay? Trust me, my family is way more fucked up than yours. Okay? Sam:
Okay. Andrew Largeman:
So... Titembay. Sam:
Yeah, he's my brother. Andrew Largeman:
Is he adopted? Sam:
Kind of. My mom adopted him from Sally Struthers, like, years ago. You know, one of those "for the cost of a cup of coffee a day" sort of things. Where she's like, "how can you just sit there and not help the children?" And we couldn't. We couldn't just sit there and not help the children. So we started sending him pictures and letters and stuff for years, but then I got really into ice skating so we sort of forgot about him. Then one day we get this phone call and it's Titembay and he's at the dry cleaners around the corner. And he's like, "I'm at Rutgers, I live in the dorms, but I'm used to living with my tribe so I'd rather live with a family." He's been living with us ever since. Andrew Largeman:
Wow. Sam:
Yeah, I know. He's the most amazing guy. You gotta hear some of his stories. He struggled through so much because he wanted to learn. When I think of what he's accomplished I just feel lazy, you know? He's studying Criminal Justice at Rutgers and when he was a baby he was one of those kids with flies all over his face. Andrew Largeman:
Wow. [chuckles] Andrew Largeman:
I mean, it's... it's a crazy story. Sam:
Yeah, I know. I mean that's a true story! I'm not that good. [laughs]
