00:00Army hammer has heart and it is very troubling very troubling

00:06I'm not gonna bite. Oh, he did

00:09But he did

00:10Yes, army hammer who of course has been

00:13dogged by

00:15Allegations that he is a cannibal based on

00:19Some accusations that came from an ex-girlfriend

00:22And he has always denied that but this came up when he was on a podcast on Louis Theroux's podcast

00:28And in an attempt to sort of clear up all of the cannibal talk, he opened another door. He opened another door

00:37Talking about eating an

00:40animal's heart fresh kill

00:43Here's his explanation. Are you a cannibal? I guess it's the

00:47You know, you have to do to actually be a cannibal

00:49You have to actually eat human flesh. So no, did you cut the heart out of the animal and eat it while still warm?

00:56No, you don't eat the whole heart

00:57You did one of the traditions is you take a bite out of the heart and you've got all your buddies around you

01:02they're goading you on it's sort of like a

01:05It's sort of like a almost overly charged male right of passage when you go hunting for your first time

01:12Everyone that I know who went hunting for their first time had to do something similar. So you did that. Yeah

01:18Not for the purpose of any cannibalism or any sexual gratification. So look I think RFK would agree with this

01:25We're totally all I was thinking where absolutely totally agree. I'll have what he's having, right?

01:31but here's the thing look I I am NOT a hunter and

01:35I'm kind of abhorred by it and at the same time

01:38I'm a hypocrite because I do eat chicken and turkey and I get the game

01:45You order an occasional burger, right? So I get it and I'm a hypocrite when it comes to it, but I

01:51This is not cannibalism and it may well be a ritual for hunting

01:57It just still just makes my skin crawl. I don't it doesn't bother me and you know to it is not

02:04cannibalism

02:06It doesn't bother me what I wished

02:08Mr. Thoreau had asked him is what kind of animal was it?

02:12Because why does that matter to you? Well, that makes a difference. Why because if it's a goats, okay

02:17You know

02:19It's a legal kill

02:21No, I think he's saying it's a legal kill and like he's eating the heart of a rhino then I have a problem

02:25It's a legal kill. Let's assume it's a legal kill

02:28He's saying this is the rite of passage for males right a passage of yeah of hunters big-game hunters

02:35poachers or actual

02:38Deer hunt. I think you're overthinking this

02:41It's just weird that it didn't come up and regardless if you're army hammer, I get it

02:45He I kind of respect how honest he's been when all these allegations came out and you know, he answers any question

02:51He goes on all these podcasts. They ask him the questions

02:54But it's like dude you're being too honest

02:56Like if you're army hammer, you do not want to be associated with eating the heart of anything

03:01What a lot let alone if it's an animal with all of his old headlines

03:04They're just drudge back up and I thought his whole thing was he was trying to get past this whole cannibalism thing so that he

03:10Could probably get back to work. That's not cannibalism. It's not it's not cannibalism

03:14Cannibalism adjacent. Well, no, but I mean look here

03:18Here's the thing about it if he's right and I'm assuming he is that hunters kind of do this first-time hunters

03:24That it's that right. I gotta say I just find that I grew up with people who hunted and

03:31Maybe they just never told me I never heard it. I never heard it

03:34but if it means the thing you don't talk about outside of hunting circles, but

03:39My friends who hunted never told me anything about let me just let me just say one thing

03:44I do not want to be in the middle of a hunting circle

03:48That just hearing hunting circles makes me scared

03:52But but also if you're a hammer your army hammer and you're out there with friends

03:57I know but a hunting circles, right? Yeah

04:01Go on down. Well, I'm just saying if you're army hammer

04:04Like how many times does he have to address the cannibalism thing?

04:06Like he's addressed it a billion times and here we are two years later

04:10He's still getting asked about it. Like I do they not have any other questions for the well because no

04:14Because you know what it is. Look let's talk. Let's get real for a second

04:18Army hammer makes news and his name gets out there every time he resurrects it all of the problems

04:25He had are kind of in the past in terms of an investigation or lawsuits or whatever

04:30They think those that don't get as much headlines or is like exacting again, right?

04:34He's acting again

04:35But at least turn he can get that out if he does something that people are talking about if we say

04:41Oh, he talked about being in a Western. We're not gonna cover it

04:44We're leading our show with this today

04:46TMZ, my name is Brandon Lanscar and Z. I'm in Sherman, Oklahoma

04:50And listen, you're talking to a vegetarian

04:51So the thought of eating a raw animal heart fresh from a kill makes me want to pass out. Let's get real

04:58I agree. It might not be a cannibalism activity, but it's can cannibalism behavior is giving werewolf

05:05If this is a right of to the mail of passage

05:07I maybe I'm not a male because I'm not doing all this he's doing the most but you do know that people eat steak

05:15Tartar. Yeah, I mean people eat steak tartar is a good example. How do you explain that? I don't like it

05:20I get I get you're a vegetarian

05:22But lots of people that were on me you eat steak tartar that you are cannibal adjacent

05:28What if you eat carpaccio if you eat fish, that's raw. It's the same concept. I mean people do that, right?

05:34It's different than a fresh kill. I'm on the scene in the wilderness and I'm biting into my animal

05:40Like it's it's cannibalism activity and behavior

05:43No, but no doubt about cannibalism is human as opposed to just eating people eat people eat liver

05:51I know and people get weirded out by that people eat liver. I mean people eat organs

05:56I mean they just do and it's bad not just in the United States, but all over the place doesn't make them cannibal

06:01You know, you started out the saying that you were just made you uneasy, but you are going deeper into it

06:05I know we move on. Here's the thing. I can argue both sides of this

06:08I just wanted to say as always
