Long Island Parents Are Never Innocent: Dino's Family History and Tim's Own Murder Fantasies
from #281 - Hewlett Harbor Holiday | The Tim Dillon Show · #281
7 min
Tim digs into the parents' shady business and racketeering history, jokes that plotting to kill your parents is a Long Island rite of passage, and shares his own exaggerated childhood fantasies of doing so.
- Dino Sr. was indicted for allegedly paying off union brass and had federal links to organized crime figures.
- Tim's theory: everybody on Long Island is a criminal, everybody has paid someone off, and everybody's kid wants to shoot them.
- Tim says he's seriously planned out murdering both his parents about seven or eight times, not just passing thoughts.
- He used to fantasize about beating his parents bloody with a metal bat so much blood you couldn't see their faces.
- Shooting your mother in the face on Christmas morning or your father in the back is not rare where Tim is from.
- Long Island parents on either side of that house will be well-behaved because the crime shocks neighbors into awareness it could happen to anyone.
- Tim describes the story as fascinating to him, not trying to make light of a woman running a dance school.
- Tim admits he wishes he had the strength to kill his parents but didn't because he was weak.
