Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Tim Dillon Show. Perez Hilton, a friend of the show, cutting himself, or what appears to have been cutting himself, for 30 minutes on a live stream, and then was taken to the hospital. It seems a little performative to me.
Is it real blood?
It feels like paint. It looks like he's, I don't know. Maybe it's real blood.
It's so hard to know. I don't want to get duped. I don't want to get duped again. I don't want to get duped again, by someone trying to kill themself on live, for 30 minutes and then have it be paint. My dad tells a great story of a homeless man in New York City, who would put ketchup on his clothing, so he looked like he was wounded, and then people would give that guy money. But my dad said some people started to smell that it was ketchup. My dad's also a liar and full of shit, so I don't know.
But that's what I'm saying here. If Perez Hilton, who was a gossip blogger from like the 2000s, if that guy is covered in paint and he's putting on a show, and then, you know, if you want to check out folks, you could check out anytime you want. That's the reality. If you want to go, you can go. I'm not saying you should go. Obviously, probably a lot of people listening to this are thinking, should I go? Should I not go? And I'm not talking to you. Don't do that. Don't put that on me. I'm just saying, the performative is not for me. You know what I mean? Like, if he wanted to kill himself, he would be dead. And is that him? Is this him? Is this a picture of him now?

**SPEAKER_2** (2:02)
Oh no, I'll pull one up.

**Tim Dillon** (2:05)
Now, has he spoken out since this?

**SPEAKER_2** (2:08)
I don't think so.

**Tim Dillon** (2:10)
I'll tell you right now, early August is when the real ghouls come out in the summer. I'll tell you, this is when, yeah, there he is. That's a photo of him.
And I just, you know, I wish him well. He has children. I feel like that's not a great idea. I mean, just, you know, not trying to be too judgmental, but whether he is actually cutting himself or it's fake, I still feel like it's a bad idea for the kids. Even if it's fake, like even if they're like, daddy, what are you doing? And you go, shh, I'm imitating this Ariana Grande thing. And they're like, daddy, are you hurt? And he's like, no, it's fake blood. I'm not doing a lot of, a lot of the cuts are surface and they're fake. Don't worry about it. Even that, I think, not good for the kids. Even if it's pretend, I don't think the kids should be witnessing it. Well, you know, what are you going to do? That's a story. That's a legitimate story. And you're going to see more of it. You'll see more of it. And you're going to have your, this will be a theme. Is that person actually mutilating themself? Or is this fake? Are we getting duped? I'm telling you right now, I'm not dead yet. Quote Hilton said during the broadcast. He also said, I want to be dead. And threaten to provoke police into fatally shooting him. I hope the cops shoot me to death, Hilton said. I'm going to tell them, I'm going to hurt them. The live stream was later taken down by TikTok. It is funny to be on live, because what is the, what are the viewers supposed to respond with? How are they supposed to handle that? I'm going to try to provoke the cops into shooting me. Okay. What are we supposed to do in that situation? Send you money? How, how do we get you out of that? Hey man, do whatever you want. Do whatever you want. This guy's clearly having mental issues. I'm not a doctor, but I'll tell you this, he's having mental issues, and I don't know if right now he's being a good father.
I'm asking. I'm, I'm, I'm, you know, my parents, you know, were not ideal, but they never did this. I, if you're mutilating yourself on live stream, are you a good father? It is, there's probably an argument here. His children should be taken away. I'm not, and I never like to talk like this. You know that. I believe in the family. It's the foundational building block of our society. But I do think if you were saying, I hope the cops shoot me to death, quote, quote, I'm going to tell them, I'm going to hurt them.
