Older Siblings' Fallout and Forged Letters to Dad

• 22:47Tim's childhood shame about theme restaurants like Fridays and Applebee's compared to dumpster diving for expired grocery store food.
• 23:35Jumping into grocery store dumpsters and eating expired food was the primary food source for a couple years.
• 23:51The problem with dumpster food was never having ingredients for an actual meal, just multiples of one item like all eggplant or nothing but Ho-Hos and Ding-Dongs.
• 24:14Tim doesn't feel bad about his guest's childhood in a bus eating junk food without school—says it was his dream life at eight years old.
• 24:36The real problem came at sixteen when he wanted to bring girls over but had no home that wasn't packed with junk and roaches.
• 25:02Tim compares his own rejection from auditions and TV roles to his guest's struggles, invoking his polka performance on Sesame Street.
• 25:44Guest explains his father left the family because he came out as gay.
• 26:18Guest is no longer angry at his father but acknowledges he shouldn't have left them alone with their mentally ill mother and agreed to the cult.
• 26:38Father is now with a new woman very similar to the mother—bullish and dominant.
