**Brendon Geoffrion** (0:15)
I think a good way to start a podcast.

**Charlie Cotton** (0:17)
Oh, God.

**Brendon Geoffrion** (0:18)
Is like you just get a good hand rub again.

**Charlie Cotton** (0:21)
So you're doing ASMR now?

**Brendon Geoffrion** (0:23)
Yeah, like, you know, like I watched this guy on YouTube who goes like, it's like, it's like, here we go.

**Charlie Cotton** (0:28)
So you're just, you're just stealing people's bits?

**Brendon Geoffrion** (0:30)
No, no, no, no, no. It was one of those guys that teaches you how to be like more manly.

**Charlie Cotton** (0:35)
Do you watch podcasts on this?

**Brendon Geoffrion** (0:37)
No, it was about like, let's just talk about it after.

**Charlie Cotton** (0:41)
You were the one who fucking brought it up.

**Brendon Geoffrion** (0:44)
All right.

**Charlie Cotton** (0:45)
Well, that was a great intro.
Branson here, everybody. So, we have some stories today to discuss. Big update in the Perez Hilton situation. His mom has filed for temporary custody of the kids, which I kind of saw this coming, but we have some details on that. Trump responded late yesterday to the whole story about him being secretly taken off Air Force One, and then the politicians and different, and journalists going up in Air Force One, even though there was a credible threat. So, we'll see what he has to say about that. And then finally, I don't know if it was just my algorithm, but over the weekend, this whole Drake 20-v-1 dating thing was like, all the clips went super viral. The girl who won, Drake said on the stream that he was gonna buy her mom a house, so we spoke to her about it.

**Brendon Geoffrion** (1:40)
You did?

**Charlie Cotton** (1:41)
I did. You spoke with her about it. I spoke with her yesterday, and she's a very sweet girl.

**Brendon Geoffrion** (1:45)
Pretty jealousy, my friend.

**Charlie Cotton** (1:47)
Are you?

**Brendon Geoffrion** (1:47)
Talk to the goth baddie.

**Charlie Cotton** (1:49)
Yeah, the goth baddie.
Cool. So we will wrap up with that.
Perez Hilton, sorry, more serious story. So his mom, Teresita, filed officially for temporary custody of his three minor children. There's not gonna be much known about this because she's asking for it to be sealed, so it's not public. Obviously, you're able to see the filing. Basically, and it says the children in this case should not be subject to any further trauma related to the incidents that are the basis of this petition.

**Brendon Geoffrion** (2:24)
These kids were there the day this all went down.

**Charlie Cotton** (2:27)
That was kind of what the crazy thing is, is in the beginning, we thought, you know, the narrative was like, oh, thank God the kids weren't there because, you know, when the cops put out the first statement, they said that he was home alone and that we then had reporting from neighbors that the kids came back with a family member when the cops got there. But then it came out because they released a statement on the site that, or on the Perez Hilton website, that the kids were actually there with the sister when he started acting a little bit erratically and then they left the premises before he went live. So it's unclear exactly what the kids saw, but clearly they saw their dad in a, some sort of mental breakdown, which is obviously very traumatic.

**Brendon Geoffrion** (3:13)
Yeah.

**Charlie Cotton** (3:14)
I kinda saw this coming because when someone does something like that and they are the sole guardian, and he's lived with his mom for a long time, it makes sense that she would now step in and basically handle all the parenting legal stuff while he's clearly getting help.

**Brendon Geoffrion** (3:34)
And he still remains hospitalized as of we know right now, right?

**Charlie Cotton** (3:38)
Yeah. So unless new information comes in, he's been releasing every few days on the Perez Hilton website, they're releasing little updates or clarifying reporting that has been put out. I think the last one was last Saturday where they said he was still in the hospital, serious but stable condition, and I believe he was going to undergo some surgeries due to the cuts that he had put on his body.

**Brendon Geoffrion** (4:04)
That is horrific, because I saw the disturbing video where he was covered, had to tell him blood, and he was cutting his abdomen area under his peck and everything, and he must have gone so deep that you need surgery, which is horrific.
