Branson Quirk (0:08)

Hey, welcome to The TMZ Podcast. I'm Branson Quirk.

Talia Block (0:11)

I'm Talia Block.

Branson Quirk (0:12)

Welcome, Talia.

Talia Block (0:13)

Branson, thank you so much for having me.

Branson Quirk (0:15)

Gosh, it just takes everything in me to not make a joke. I know.

Talia Block (0:19)

Can you see it?

Branson Quirk (0:20)

Like, it's like the quiver.

Talia Block (0:21)

You have like a vein that's kind of popping out.

Branson Quirk (0:23)

Here.

Talia Block (0:24)

Yeah, and I could tell that you want to make fun of me so badly.

Branson Quirk (0:26)

No, the vein is actually there because I didn't get the hair transplant to cover it with the temple enough so that it pops out. Here, see what I'm hot. I'm really hot right now. It's hot in here.

Talia Block (0:36)

Please don't faint. I'm scared.

Branson Quirk (0:38)

No, no, no. I will not.

Talia Block (0:39)

I will not. It is really hot in here though. These lights are hot.

Branson Quirk (0:41)

How is your Monday in the newsroom going? You know what?

Talia Block (0:45)

It's actually going pretty well. I'd have to say it's kind of a chill Monday vibe, knock on wood. I went to Trader Joe's last night and got the pumpkin spice chardonnay, which is like, and they say white women have no culture.

And I drank a lot of that, so I slept like a baby. So I'm feeling really refreshed this morning. I'm born spies. Wow. It tastes like a Yankee candle.

Branson Quirk (1:06)

Yankee, Yankee candle.

Talia Block (1:08)

Yeah.

Branson Quirk (1:08)

Wow. Wow. Yeah. Well, how's your Monday going? I'm glad you had that. What did I do last night? I went to Disneyland by myself.

What's the problem? Why do people always look at me like that when I go to... Do you know how many people in Orange County have Disney passes?

Talia Block (1:24)

I don't care how many people.

Branson Quirk (1:25)

It's a great way to get exercise. That's the only reason I do it. It's the only reason you do it. Because I can have fun going on the rides and getting fun drinks.

Talia Block (1:33)

I saw a picture of you with your hand around Cinderella's waist.

Branson Quirk (1:37)

Oh, is that right?

Eric Wilson (1:38)

Yeah.

Branson Quirk (1:38)

I saw that photo.

Talia Block (1:39)

You're the creepy guy.

Eric Wilson (1:40)

I am not.

Talia Block (1:41)

I'm alone and flirts with Jasmine.

Branson Quirk (1:43)

She's talking about the Peter Pan creeper who walks around the park. Who you're friends with.

Talia Block (1:48)

What? You're friends with her.

Branson Quirk (1:49)

I am not friends with...

Talia Block (1:50)

Because you guys are always at the park together.

Branson Quirk (1:52)

I am just walking alone. I wear my workout clothes and I do two circles on each park.

And while I do it, we need to get to the stories. All right, we'll talk about this later.

Talia Block (2:02)

Do you get a guest pass?

Branson Quirk (2:03)

No. You think Disney is going to allow that? Never mind.

Tony (2:07)

I'm not going to make it fun of you.

Branson Quirk (2:09)

Anyways, getting to our stories today.

Perez Hilton, we have an update for you on the health. If you didn't see anything, if you lived under a rock the last month, Perez Hilton did a very disturbing live stream where he cut himself, injured himself, had a psych break.

Talia Block (2:27)

He was so violent and scary to watch.

Branson Quirk (2:29)

Covered in blood, head to toe. And was saying things like he hoped the cops would kill him.

His family fled the house and everything.

Talia Block (2:36)

His kids had to leave the house.

Branson Quirk (2:37)

Various disturbing stuff. We'll get into that. We're also going to talk about Brad Pitt, who I think this is the final kid to drop the last name.

Another kid in Brad Pitt's family has dropped his last name. This is what I believe the final child to do that.

Talia Block (2:54)

Yes, Shiloh and Zahara both are already doing it or already in the process.

Branson Quirk (2:57)

Yeah, we're almost at the... In a way, it's like the Thanos gemstones. The final...

I mean, it's insensitive. I mean, I do feel bad for the guy, but there's been a lot that's happened.

Talia Block (3:09)

Be a good dad and your kids won't change their name.

Branson Quirk (3:11)

Go to their graduation. How about that? Go to their graduation. And then, yeah, right. And then we're going to talk about something I think is the most disturbing story of the week.
