Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda Jamnason.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Well, remember where we were when Armie Hammer in twenty
twenty one, there was a whirlwind of accusations that he
was into cannibalism.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
You know, not many actors have to come out and
put out a pressly saying I'm not a cannibal.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
I am not a carnibal. Honi, Armie Hammer.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
We've interviewed him when he was in that movie with
Johnny Depp, that Terrible One.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
A lone Ranger.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
It was a lone ranger.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
He's as handsome as lovely kid.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
I had a feeling that when we're doing the interview.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
During a big chicken leg.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
A big steak.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
None of that was true. What is interesting is he
has been completely canceled as cannibal should be, but he
has said, I'm not a cannibal. What's I'll tell you
what has happened? He said in a podcast just released
on Sunday. He said, people now think, yep, that guy.
Eight people so multiple women had accused him of sexual
abuse and coercion, which is nothing to laugh at, and that,

(01:00):
you know, is fair enough. But they shared private messages
where someone alleged to be Hammer expressed an interest in
calimbalism and sadistic fetishes. So this all a one woman
said that he'd expressed a desire to break one of
her ribs and eat it. He branded her, he left
a covered in bruises and talked about consuming her. This
is what a third woman, an anonymous person, has said this.

(01:21):
He says that all the relationships he had with these
women were completely consensual, discussed and agreed upon in advance,
and mutually participatory. So since then he has suffered what
he calls an ego death and a career death. He
ended a Florida rehab facility for drug, alcohol, and sex issues.
He said, in a way, it's grateful for the situation
can force him to confront a pattern of unhealthy behavior.

(01:43):
Who was Annoyeddy missed out on that Dharma role? Jeffrey Darma.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
It's got a bit method, you know what this?

Speaker 3 (01:48):
I think this is an interesting story and I might
have a very unpopular take on this. All that stuff
about coercion, sexual abuse, etc. Yes, deal with it, the
law deal with it because that's appalling and women have
every right to take that as far as they can.
But should you be canceled for your private thoughts for

(02:12):
privately having a fetish about cannibalism or any of those things.
If you're in a relationship or having a feeling with
someone who says that stuff to you, I understand there
was coercion, etc. Involved, But you say, look, it's not
my cup of tea. Is it fair that your thoughts

(02:32):
now can have you canceled? Your thoughts can end your career,
your private sexual thoughts.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
If you keep them to yourself, then you're fine.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
But who keeps in a sexual relationship? Who keeps those
thoughts to themselves? That's what he's saying. He shared that
and other women say, Okay, that's freak. He equals he
eats people, and people now think he's a cannibal, which
isn't true. It's the same thing we spoke about the
other day about girls at the gym who film men
looking at them, or they put cameras in their pockets
so they can see guys looking at their bums. There's

(03:03):
now eleven a level of coercion that's going the other
way or in trapman or catfishing or what's it called clickbaiting?

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yep, where it's in.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
First trap it's people can't be free anymore and rightly so,
as I said, if he has been found guilty of
coercion and abuse, that is one thing, But to be
found guilty of having weirdo sexual thoughts.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
So you're cannibal sympathetic.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
No, I'm not cannibal sympathetic, but I wonder where it ends.
Do you need to have a gun holster taped to
the side of your head so people can't plunder your
thoughts and go public with you? At what point is
your is your private life no longer private even your
sexual fantasies?

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Has my head turned into a giant boat face because
I noticed your salivation?

Speaker 3 (03:58):
You know you'd be a pumpkin that's face.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
No pet names, Yeah, I don't look at

Speaker 3 (04:03):
You and think vegan
