What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAnd a different kind of comeback tonight: USA Today reports Collin Gosselin says his last real conversation with his mother Kate came after he was confined in a behavioral facility, which she has not been shown to confirm.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentJoining us from a yacht is publicist Barnaby Strongfellow. Barnaby, how do you spin that?
Barnaby StrongfellowKenji, gorgeous to be here. Look, this is a reintroduction.
Barnaby StrongfellowAnd this is the pivot: a facility stay is just a very long retreat, and retreats test beautifully with women over thirty-five.

Barnaby StrongfellowThink hoodies. Think a laminated sunrise.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentYou haven't asked once how Collin is doing.
Barnaby StrongfellowGreat question, and the answer is in the sunrise colors. Can we get the mood board back on screen?
