Yeah. It says this was a while ago and I don't fully remember what the tour guide said to my parents since I was paying attention to the corpse right beside our boat. But I'm pretty sure that the tour guide knew who the man was and said that he'd been diving for oysters. Oh.
At the time, the police in Belize were pretty corrupt and had a reputation for arresting tourists for crimes they didn't commit in order to elicit bribes. So the guide told my parents not to mention the body to anyone and that he would take care of it. Wow. Cue my parents having to explain two very important concepts to their six- and eight-year-old children. Oh, my God.
Death and that snitches get stitches. Yeah. To this day, I get super stressed when going through customs since my parents absolutely forbade us from talking to any customs agent, a six-year-old and an eight-year-old.
Yes. The stakes go wildly high. Yeah. So our parents absolutely forbade us from talking to any customs agent when trying to leave Belize. Yes. I also refused to swim in the ocean for the next couple of years because although my mom had said the man had probably passed away from a heart attack, six-year-old me knew deep down that it was sharks that had gotten him.
Sure, sharks or a giant clam that opened and enclosed. You know, that's always... Snap. That was my big concern. Really? When I was young. A giant clam. I saw it in some... Weird 70s children's thing where it's like a real life swimmer and a real sized up clam. I can picture it. Yeah. Well, my mom has taken my brothers and I on lots of sketchy vacations since then.
Most involved her flying us across the Atlantic Ocean by herself to stay for months at a time with strangers she met on the Internet. What? And then in parentheses it says, my mom is not a murder, you know. And then it says that was probably one of the most memorable. Oh, basically. So aside from that, that was probably one of the most memorable trips we've been on.
Thanks for making this great podcast and giving me something to do instead of studying for my college finals. Oh, no. And then it says you've definitely knocked my GPA down a point or two, to which I will say you've definitely knocked your GPA down a point or two. Hit stop. It's not that good.
Yes.
Which is fun. Yeah. Oh, you know what? I feel like the file folder just opened and it was that one where the girl got the kit of like sparkle of glitter. No, it was balloon animals. Fucking balloon animals. Wasn't there a sparkle one, too, where it was just like sparkles?
Anyway. Yes. Balloon animals was recent.
The noise was there and that's all that matters. Exactly.
I really like that. Isn't that lovely? Also, it's just, like, so funny for kids these days where, like, literally you cannot be near peanuts. And, like, the peanut allergy thing that came up, which is important and good. I'm not trying to be one of those people who's like, nobody was allergic to peanuts before. Right. I love when comics make those generalizations. I'm like, my God.
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?
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.
