Continuing the Armie Hammer bit, Tim predicts he'll be accepted back into Hollywood given the anti-cancel-culture climate, muses that actors invent scandalous personas because their inner lives are boring, and reacts to the podcast clip where Hammer reveals he was molested by a youth pastor as a child.
- Armie Hammer has a redemption arc available—he's more interesting now as a cannibal scandal guy than he was as a hot rich actor on red carpets.
- Hammer describes the moment he stepped onto set for his indie comeback and remembered why he loved acting in the first place.
- Tim roots for Hammer's return and doubts he's actually a real cannibal, theorizing that actors are dull husks who invent dark personas for stimulation.
- Hammer probably just said questionable things to women rather than committing serious crimes, and Tim argues that's his job—questionable speech.
- With cancel culture receding and the new administration, Tim predicts Armie Hammer will have an easier time making a comeback.
- The mother recalls saying Hammer was creepy and being told he's a man of God, while people around him dismissed her concerns.
- She describes Hammer sexually abusing her during a family trip to her parents' house with godly people and youth pastors present.
