The Tom Hanks Episode

I get rancid vibes from Tom Hanks!!! I know he's THE man of good standing in Hollywood and he's "America's Dad" and Woody and Mr. Rodgers and Captain Sully and all of that. But why so many conspiracy theories around him? Why is he vacationing with Presidents so often? Why is he vacationing on the Yachts of billionaires associated with Bryan Singer sex parties? Why did his first wife file a restraining order against him? Why is his son Chet certifiably insane?

Take this episode with a heaping spoon of salt as a lot of the conspiracies I mention in here are ones that I don't co-sign (and some I prove to be incorrect) but I know this in my bones, Tom Hanks is NOT the nice sweetie pie he pretends to be!

My granny had early onset Alzheimer's. I was maybe a year or two old when she died. Shortly before i was born, she was put in a care facility; my mom visited her every day. After I joined the world, she would ask for me over and over. I think she met me once or twice. My mom started bringing a doll for her to cuddle and cradle, it helped her a lot. She thought it was me🥺 I have a bear we've always called Sally after her.

Oooh Shannon as someone who runs an health education hub website I would love to talk about the SEO/searching and adding “reddit”/affiliate articles/Google AI and the changing landscape of professional blogging!

Only two minutes in about Google but like, the AI Overview is so dangerous. I searched if cats can eat grapes and all vet websites say no they’re toxic if ingested. AI Overview was like “To feed grapes to your cats, you must first slice in quarters for easy chewing…” I was flabbergasted.

Siena

Pleeeaaase share the story!! I’m so curious of these types of camps 😮

Mathilde Morelli

I don’t know… if he’s able to abuse and traumatize his own kid like that 😔

Kate Monahan

Tom let his mask slip when Ricky Gervais made his speech cos he was like ugh, you're blowing our cover

Erin

This makes so much sense

Erin

Sorry being long winded but I have a theory and maybe this is obvious but I think any celebs with an IMMACULATE image of being nice (10/10) isn’t actually nice but rather they just deeply care about their image and will invest huge into PR. I’m talking Hanks, Lively, Degenerous, Witherspoon. Often in fact these people are not nice or even sometime bad people. Our sweet spot of nice people are the 8/10 nice—you hear stories of them being great with fans but don’t actually care enough to go to the lengths of having a PR machine pump lies. Think Amy Adams, Daniel Radcliffe, Dave Grohl. I hope this rambling made sense haha

I was so stoked when I saw this ep come out. I’ve always been a huge movie fan and growing up Tom hanks was my favorite. I’ve done a complete 180 on him. Ricky Gervais’ golden globes speech was one of the best I’ve ever seen and seeing Hanks’ poor reaction set me off so bad I’ve never recovered. Why is shitting on Weinstein bad?! I also saw a video where Hanks was walking with his wife and the paps were getting too close and the way he growled and yelled at them was honestly really scary—I think they were in the wrong but my main thought was wow that level of anger is astonishing and I don’t think he is the person America thinks he is. Also have heard grumblings about a lot of the other things you discussed. I’m also ready for his fall from grace to happen

Davis

You've inspired me! I'm going away this weekend but when I get back I'm deleting the apps and taking a break

Rachel Gentile

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS EP!!! theres no one i trust more then u to expose Tom Hanks, Ms MacNamara ☺️☺️ so excited to listen!😋🕺🏼😎

✨Riley✨

Just a note on Seth Green. I used to love him but I was shocked when he was in that photo with Dane Cook and all these underage girls, who they would like have house parties with. (allegedly) And didn’t Dane go on to marry like a 20 yo who would go to those parties. Something is… a bit off about Seth (and of course Dane as well).

Emilie Corish

I had a college professor who is best buds with tom hanks and steven speilberg (and had an office down the hall from Kurt Vonnegaut) ((the things he wouldn’t let you forget)) … the way I scoured The Epstein Black Book for this profs name… (he wasnt there)

Zoe Reinus

I’ve heard through someone who knows someone high up at the Atlantic that the jen and obama thing is true, happening now, and after the election the Obamas will split 👀

Georgina

on the qanon topic, i found out last year that my relative was like a qanon leader (so embarrassing lol). he started the whole JFK-coming-back-to-life thing 💀

shartsimpson

Followed! I’m RinneyRoo24 (made it in high school still holding onto AIM vibes). I’m a killer at Pinterest. Never had a Pinterest fail so always happy to give the best tips and tricks!

Corinne Huntley

Alyssa Canova

Shannon McNamara

Shannon McNamara

so, SO agreed. I feel 10x more creative without social media which really surprised me!

Shannon McNamara

looking into it now! some folks are saying too that public libraries have subscriptions to them so i might check it out there

Shannon McNamara

hahaha i'll have to tell the story. my parents and I had no idea it was that vibe when I went there!

Shannon McNamara

YES! i think they hold competitions for it in finland and one day i want to go there to watch them for vacation hahaha

Shannon McNamara

the amount of dead links while researching was wild

Shannon McNamara

blind confirmed!!! i just can't believe why she would give him the time of day, i feel like money must have been involved?

Shannon McNamara

he gives off SUCH scary energy

Shannon McNamara

huh! i wonder if it's age restricted due to the content of the jokes?

Shannon McNamara

pub sub & pod!

Shannon McNamara

When you said 17 weeks I thought you were going to say DAYS. Must have been so traumatic for Chet

paige rittersbacher

Also not to sound parasocial but I want to be your Pinterest bud.

Corinne Huntley

THANK U SHANNON 🙌🏻 I’m hypeee

Elizabeth

Crystal clear mic!

Corinne Huntley

Im actually in the middle of a social media break and it has totally allowed me to reset my brain, reframe the way I view myself, as well as be more creative. Part of me misses it, but im going to stick with it longer.

Jacqueline

The way I just went “YAAAAAAAASS OMG”

Angelyca Violet

My hair blew back when I started the episode - much louder audio, thank you!

Kate Hofschield

if you’re ever looking for product recommendations, I highly recommend investing in a consumer reports account. The subscription goes towards making sure that it’s real people reviewing the items and corporations. Don’t get to have any influence.

SJL

Shannon just casually dropping at the end that she has been to a wilderness camp before…. Your lore🤯

Olivia Endacott

Shannon your misunderstood series NEEDS to dive into hobby horsing - I need your former horse girl take

OC

Years before QAnon (Google Art Bell) many of these issues or ‘conspiracies’ which have happened since and foreseen since the 90s, 80s. None of this is new except it is to the mainstream now. And many have interviewed many before Kappy and others prior to his passing and info on Hanks. They were scrubbed from the internet as many going down these rabbit holes have… Well, it’s far more sinister and darker than you can imagine. So some pulled back and won’t discuss any further.

Robin

Back in 2016 Tom hanks and Poppy flew into Chicago (privately and just two of them).. I’ve met him 3 times and he have weird vibes

MJ

Omg the time has come

Christine S

Love this. 💕💕

Elvira26

I would love a fluently focused class I am so addicted to my phone it's real bad

Annie S

I have some tea to spill on Chet…. I dated a guy who worked on a movie that he was supposed to be in that ended up being cancelled because of his behavior. I don’t know exactly what happened but I think he was being generally abusive and violent to his female costar and they had to do a stunt together and it went badly….i didnt get very many details, apparently it all happened really fast, but when this guy was telling me about it I remember thinking it was verryyy Bojack Horseman. Really chilling to hear.

Alyssa Canova
