We need a doctor, look at his face. Juicy killings. Hello and welcome. Hi, hi, hi. I'm Tracy Delivo. And I'm Carolyn O'Killini. And this is Juicy Killings. So how we do it? Oh, you know. We're doing right. You know, I know. Yeah. We're doing. We are doing. Right. Well, you know what? It's hard. It is hard. It is. When you lose someone, it is not easy. No. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You never have to apologize for feeling things. So, thank you. For those of you who don't know. Birdie passed away last week. Monday. Oh, it was Monday. We thought he passed on Saturday, but then his tail moved. Oh my god. Yeah, I know. And typical. It's been a roller coaster. I will never forget the cottage cheese. Do you want to tell it? I can't. You go. So, Dave and I are driving up to Santa Barbara. And I get this call from Carolyn and we're in the car and I pick up. And you just go, birdie's been eating my cottage cheese. And I'm like, hold up. What? And you're like, he learned how to open the refrigerator. And now he's eating my cottage cheese. It taught him to open the refrigerator so he could get his celery. And I'm like, no. And you're like, look at this. And then you send me this photo of your very handsome iguana birdie sitting there proudly. proudly. proudly. Next to the refrigerator. And his mouth is covered in cottage cheese. I couldn't find the cottage cheese in the refrigerator. So I thought he must have eaten it because when I got up and walked downstairs in the morning, he was just sitting there on the kitchen floor. With cottage cheese all over his mouth. But it turned out it wasn't cottage cheese. It was mouth rot. Yeah. But even when you know someone's sick, you know, it helps, but it doesn't prepare you. It never does. It never does. But we were blessed, you know. He was peaceful. We were so lucky. We have a very dear friend who's a veterinarian who gave us this special tang to put birdie in because he just lived in the house with us, you know. He had his own free will. But we had to put him in this special tang. Our friend gave us and he told us to lower the temperature of the tang by a little bit each day. And birdie just went to sleep. He was just like putting him to sleep because he's naturally cold, blooded. So basically, his muscles just sort of froze. Well, not froze. They just, it's kinder than that. Kind can be hard. Yeah. Anyway, how was your week? My week was fine actually and not much to speak of. Getting the highlights, getting the headlines. The headlines would probably be, I don't know. Victor got accepted for coding boot camp, which was a pretty big deal. Wow, congratulations. Thank you. What is that? Coding. So it's starting at the end of fall. It's an intensive course where they learn how to make software. Well, I mean, Victor already knows how, but he'll learn more. They teach them a lot of cool stuff that's relevant for getting into data and all that type of stuff. Containerizing and scaling microservice architectures in big bang and canary. Up in Seattle. That is. Wow. Smart cookie. I know. But you know what has blown me away this week? It's the amount of support that has come in for birdie. Letters. Tweets. People drawing pictures of him. I just. I honestly don't know what I would do without this community. I can imagine. To know that he touched so many lives. And the vulnerability people have shared about their own reptiles. Birdie was special. Truly special. His tongue. All the games. You know what my dad always said. And not everybody gets to have a sense of humor. But some people do. Yeah. And he was one of them. Are you ready to talk about this week's juicy killing? I was born ready. So because you've had life stuff this week, I did the juicy killing research and I found a fun one. Ooh, pray tell. I mean, it's not fun. It just fascinates me, but it's obviously not fun. I know we talk about this a lot. I know, you know. And it's something I think about. Isn't there that phrase "cobby equals tragedy plus time"? I've never heard that before. Yeah. But I feel like that's quite specific because let's say in a year you're not going to find the death of someone important to you. Funny. No, never. But I think culturally, you know, there's a moment or when you go and see mummies at the museum, they can be kind of fun. It's like too soon. Exactly. Too soon. But if it's not soon enough, it's boring and people are like, "Swit it off." Yes. So on that note, our juicy killing this week is the juicy killing of a 14-year-old boy called "Parson Flowers." Have you ever wanted to decompress in a time of anxiety? Or maybe you need to unlock your creative flow? Well, our interest is so important. And yet nearly 45% of adults today say it's unthinkable.

So today's juicy killing is British. I know it's the old cliche but what is it with their teeth over there? Everything looks fine until you see the teeth. Everything looks fine until they smile and show you their teeth and you're just they're like trying to look at any other part of the face that's available. I mean it's the one part of your skeleton that you can show to another person so you want to make sure it's presentable right? It's your bones. Right? Because there's no skin there. You cannot moisturize your teeth. No. So endoside note. The juicy killing of parsin flowers. Yes. Parsin is a 14-year-old boy living in Lysister in the UK in the early 1990s. I don't like where this is going. He attends the normal local school and he has two older brothers. They all live with their parents. One day on his way home from soccer training. Parsin goes missing. Doesn't come home. It is before we had cell phones since 1993. So before most people had a cell phone. Yeah, cell phones were pretty much like you could have used them as a motorway. For a cell phone. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
