Tim discusses Perez Hilton allegedly cutting himself on a TikTok live stream for 30 minutes before being hospitalized, questioning if it's real or performative (comparing it to his dad's story of a homeless man faking wounds with ketchup), and debating whether Hilton is a fit father given he threatened to provoke police into shooting him.
