My next door neighbor who I was just talking about, he had such a bad peanut allergy. Like he had to have an EpiPen at all times or his throat would close and he would die.

It's like nobody cared. Yeah, they weren't paying attention. They were just like, oh, you have to, we're just going to real quick make this easy for ourselves and put you in a room somewhere and not look into this. Totally. And like literally it was like an 11 year old that on his own without his mom or anybody doing the work, he had to make sure he never ate a peanut.

So he literally like, what's in this? I don't know. I'm not like it was sad. Anyway, he made it. I'm a peanut peanut allergy truther. And I'm here to say. Okay. I'm not going to read you the subject line. It just starts, Hello, all. I appreciate all the work you and the entire company does. Nice. Well, that's all the emotion I can handle based on my German family upbringing. I appreciate that.

Nice one. So it says, Let's get into the story. This last holiday trip home, I heard a casual story from my dad. While watching a crime show with him, he mentioned that the FBI interviewed him once, leading me to immediately ask for the details.

Back in the 80s, my dad was a nurse anesthetist, which is a specialized nurse who sedates or induces general anesthesia for medical procedures. To make extra money, he would pick up shifts at a Chicago abortion clinic on the weekends. Well, this clinic happened to be run by the Chicago mob, specifically Anthony Tony Centraccio.

Right?

Right?

Okay. Mostly, my dad would keep to himself and do his work, so this wasn't a problem. Occasionally, he would be offered jewelry to buy while working there, which he politely declined. Okay. You need this bracelet or you want a bracelet? Wow. During this time, the FBI came to our house and asked him about his work, the clinic, who owned it, and were particularly interested in Tony Centraccio. Sure.

My dad states that he was relatively vague about his responses, like likely a smart decision. The FBI also asked about the jewelry being offered, which my dad replied he never bought because, quote, it wasn't his style. Yeah. Then instead of keeping this interview to himself, he told the mob members at the clinic that he had been interviewed. So smart.

Yes. You know what I mean? Yes. Yes. Self-report. Yeah. When working alongside or with the mob, please self-report.

Thankfully, he didn't know anything of value for the mom to care about it. My dad is in his early 70s now, and he still volunteers his time in service at abortion clinics. He considers it one of the ways he can give back in this questionable time, and it's a reminder that abortion rights are human rights.

He is the reason both my sister and I are in the medical field and is always proud to label himself a girl dad. Aww. I hope this makes at least one person smile while reading, even if it does not make it on the podcast. Stay sexy and don't buy jewelry with mop ties. Rachel.
