Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of three Trends.
Speaker 1: The post it note brought to you by three trend
Speaker 1: Is that is that clear?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Am? Not really?
Speaker 3: Am?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go what is it?
Speaker 2: Minnesota Mining and isn't it? Isn't that what it stands for?
Speaker 2: I have no idea Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing company.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. Yeah, I haven't read the whole
Speaker 1: article yet, but they're in the news for not great stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm Jack. That's Miles. Yeah, yeah, yeah, how you doing, Miles.
Speaker 2: Oh I'm great. Just just just reminiscing a little bit.
Speaker 2: We'll get to why. Just thinking of one of my
Speaker 2: favorite competitive eaters. Yeah, a flood of flood of memories
Speaker 2: came back to me, Like.
Speaker 1: I think I remember Kobeyashi's hot dog eating technique more
Speaker 1: than I remember like Michael Jordan's jump shot, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: something just so memorable about that. And also it's memorable
Speaker 1: because that's how I've eaten hot dogs ever since.
Speaker 4: Every time, every time and whenever, or there's like a
Speaker 4: question about lunch and you're like, we get hot dogs
Speaker 4: and I'm like no, you're just yeah, you.
Speaker 1: Got you gotta soak the button of the water like
Speaker 1: put everywhere, like almost like what reverse walrus thans coming out? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: retractable walrus exactly. Kobayashi using the retractable walrus fangs technique.
Speaker 2: O'Brien is not aware that this is not a competition, though,
Speaker 2: and he is eating with such intention to start with
Speaker 2: that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean yeah, the great competitive eater who
Speaker 1: would break his hot dogs in half and then reverse
Speaker 1: walrus fangs them up into his mouth. Yeah, has announced
Speaker 1: that he's retiring.
Speaker 2: Yeah he is. He's won.
Speaker 4: This dude won that Nathan's you know, Coney Island hot
Speaker 4: dog eating contest like six times, and like you know,
Speaker 4: him and Joey Chestnut had like you know, this back
Speaker 4: and forth with their eating. This dude was even on
Speaker 4: I remember this Fox special that that's what I was feeling,
Speaker 4: you know, a little nostalgic man versus beast. Yeah, that
Speaker 4: only Fox TV at the time could give us, where
Speaker 4: he went up against a fucking grizzly bear. Yeah, and
Speaker 4: who could eat like seventy hot dogs that the bear just.
Speaker 2: Ate it very quickly. Kobea actually tried.
Speaker 4: But the thing that's the thing that is really interesting
Speaker 4: is the reason that he is bowing out or retiring
Speaker 4: from competitive eating.
Speaker 2: Is he's citing health concerns?
Speaker 1: Wait? Really, that's shocking to me. I had no idea
Speaker 1: that like that. The first question that occurs to you
Speaker 1: when you see someone doing what he does for a
Speaker 1: living is like, well, that's got to be fucking terrible
Speaker 1: for your health.
Speaker 2: Can you? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Wait, what's can is eating forty hot dogs at once bad?
Speaker 2: Like in one go?
Speaker 1: Yeah? What does your yeah body do with all those nitrates?
Speaker 2: Let's see, I just want to see how many blow
Speaker 2: them out.
Speaker 1: Your ass like a steam engine.
Speaker 3: He let's see he ate sixty nine a fucking grizz
Speaker 3: nice dude, And there's so many likes and then there
Speaker 3: I've heard I don't know the details, but I've heard
Speaker 3: that like Joey Chestnut came in and was given like
Speaker 3: an unfair advantage because they were like, well, we need
Speaker 3: an American version.
Speaker 1: But Kobe Ashi definitely like put the whole thing on
Speaker 1: on the map. I didn't know about competitive eating before Kobyashi.
Speaker 2: You know what you know?
Speaker 4: And I blame nine to eleven because his debut was
Speaker 4: in the summer of two thousand and one.
Speaker 2: Joey Chestnut, No, no, no, Kobayashi.
Speaker 1: Kobayashi.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was when he ate fifty in twelve minutes.
Speaker 4: Wow, and that and then again nine to eleven happened
Speaker 4: and it kind of obscured things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's you know, I'm not blaming nine.
Speaker 1: To eleven completely, but I can blame at all on
Speaker 1: nine eleven. But it certainly didn't help. Yeah, we were
Speaker 1: just watching the clip. We should link off to the
Speaker 1: clip of him going up against the grizzly bear because yeah,
Speaker 1: some of the commentary is incredible, Like they're like and
Speaker 1: the bear doesn't know he's in a petition, so.
Speaker 4: Oh it's yeah, but there's a there's a look of
Speaker 4: fear in Kobayashi's eyes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe because there's a fucking bear.
Speaker 4: Opposite him trying to eat a bunch of fucking meat tubes.
Speaker 1: Right, the bear look at using a technique with no hands.
Speaker 2: It's like the bear's not using it.
Speaker 1: Okay, pears don't have hands?
Speaker 2: Are we talking about? Technique?
Speaker 4: Just some of his records though, bunless hot dogs one
Speaker 4: hundred ten, bunless hot dogs in ten minutes at the
Speaker 4: New York State Fair, rice balls like onigiti, he ate
Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty of them twenty pounds worth in
Speaker 4: thirty minutes. He ate thirteen grilled cheeses in one minute.
Speaker 4: At south By he had three hundred thirty seven buffalo
Speaker 4: wings in thirty minutes, forty one lobster rolls in ten minutes,
Speaker 4: fifty seven cowbrains in fifteen minutes. That was a fox thing,
Speaker 4: ninety three hamburgers in eight minutes, one hundred and fifty
Speaker 4: nine tacos in ten minutes, sixty two slight is a pizza?
Speaker 1: One hundred and twelve maybe nine tacos in ten minutes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how's that possible?
Speaker 2: What is I mean?
Speaker 4: If you think about like a takidia taco right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: it's not like you know, we're not talking full blown
Speaker 4: like hard cells.
Speaker 1: That's crazy.
Speaker 2: Put those away.
Speaker 4: Uh chicken saute the skewers almost twelve pounds in fucking tent.
Speaker 1: To this guy, the true legend.
Speaker 2: Yeah. One, she's taking twenty four seconds.
Speaker 1: That's one. She's staking twenty four seconds.
Speaker 2: Second is fucking obscene. But anyways, got health.
Speaker 1: He's got health concerns, and we don't know why, we
Speaker 1: can't we don't begin to expect what it quite what is?
Speaker 4: Yeah, he said basically, I quote, I want to live
Speaker 4: healthy and long life, so I've decided to quit competitive
Speaker 4: eating contests.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we get it, we get it. Salute, salute. I
Speaker 2: have that.
Speaker 1: With liquid, I can I can drink, I can out
Speaker 1: chug anyone. Really, it's kind of crazy. Really yeah, I
Speaker 1: can drink liquid incredibly fast. I think it's like from
Speaker 1: now you got now being a sweaty person my whole life,
Speaker 1: I just like naturally needed to replace the liquid when
Speaker 1: you were drinking.
Speaker 2: Were you like slamming drinks like that too? Are you
Speaker 2: showing off?
Speaker 1: I could, Yeah, I have in the past. It wasn't
Speaker 1: like my general go to, but I could, yeah, get
Speaker 1: them away.
Speaker 4: Well now I'm like, now I'm kind of feeling the
Speaker 4: spirit of competition. Now I want to see what you got, Obrian.
Speaker 2: What are we saying? Like a sixteen point nine fluid
Speaker 2: ounce water bottle? Like you just go.
Speaker 1: Yeah pretty quick? That style? Yeah yeah, oh.
Speaker 2: I got to see this. Now go get a couple
Speaker 2: of water.
Speaker 1: Not right now, but it's yeah, And I have to
Speaker 1: be in the right frame of mind.
Speaker 2: Right yeah, how fast could you drink like a bottled
Speaker 2: diet coke?
Speaker 1: Bottle diet coke? Pretty pretty fat diet cokes a little
Speaker 1: bit like a bottled mountain dew I could take down
Speaker 1: in seconds. Really like, I mean, now you're up in it?
Speaker 1: Why you keep uping it?

Speaker 1: I could take a twenty ounce of mountain dew down
Speaker 1: in seconds for sure.
Speaker 2: Man, we got it. Okay, So if you guys come
Speaker 2: to the upcoming live shows, hopefully that we'll get our
Speaker 2: shit together for the whole thing. Just bring bring loose
Speaker 2: mountain dews up to the stage.
Speaker 1: I just had to catch them and put them down
Speaker 1: in life ones. Yeah, that'll be good for my health
Speaker 1: and overall mental well being.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jack had to stop a competitive mountain dew drinking
Speaker 4: because you wanted to live a healthy life and view
Speaker 4: of this family all.
Speaker 1: Right, three am. There's a new article from pro Publica
Speaker 1: and The New Yorker that looks at three Am basically
Speaker 1: asked one of their scientists to look at human blood
Speaker 1: to see if there were any chemicals in there. They're like,
Speaker 1: weird question, they found them, and then they pulled you know,
Speaker 1: something similar to what the oil industry did in the eighties,
Speaker 1: where they were like doing the research, asking the questions
Speaker 1: before anyone else knew to and found troubling things, and
Speaker 1: then we're just like, shut the fuck up, Shut the
Speaker 1: fuck up. Oh no, So three M, the company behind
Speaker 1: Scotch tape post it notes your kitchen sponges a lot
Speaker 1: of various like man made substances that we have in
Speaker 1: our household. Yeah, well, I'll dig in a little bit
Speaker 1: more and probably do a whole story on it one
Speaker 1: of our main episodes. But it's three M is trending
Speaker 1: because of this right now, so we.
Speaker 2: Wow, oh wow. And that these chemicals are often found
Speaker 2: in the bodies of three M factory workers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not great, not great, files not great.
Speaker 2: That kind of makes Rome and Michelle look real fucking bad.
Speaker 2: Now you invented post it notes, really well, congratulations, you're
Speaker 2: putting forever chemicals into the workers.
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot of assholes. Let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back. And we're back. We're back,
Speaker 1: and Rudy is having some money problems as mentioned. What
Speaker 1: is he what is he sold? I mean, so many
Speaker 1: commemorative nine to eleven everything. Now he is trying to
Speaker 1: sell coffee thirty dollars bags of coffee, hot off the
Speaker 1: heels of being served indictment papers at his own birthday party.
Speaker 1: He claims that Rudy coffee is rich, chocolatey, and gentle
Speaker 1: on your stomach. So yeah, he's giving it the Giuliani
Speaker 1: no violent diarrhea guarantee you.
Speaker 2: It's wild that you know what's wild? Because just think
Speaker 2: about this, Jack, Do you know how much he's like,
Speaker 2: what the mountain of debt he's looking at it really.
Speaker 4: Looks like, oh yeah, it's like one hundred forty eight
Speaker 4: million dollars.
Speaker 1: That's too much money. So he says liquid cash, like
Speaker 1: he's trying to touch that.
Speaker 2: Bro, he needs liquid cyanide. You need to get the
Speaker 2: fuck you need to run from that shit. Just like
Speaker 2: the desperation in his voice in this quote unquote commercial
Speaker 2: for Rudy's fucking Coffee beans is so fucking oh here here,
Speaker 2: just just hear from the desperate man himself.
Speaker 5: You all know I stand by the truth, and if
Speaker 5: I put my name on something, I truly believe in it.
Speaker 2: Dude, this is the energy is wild, you know, is man, Rudy,
Speaker 2: does somebody have a gun on ham or something.
Speaker 5: I'm incredibly proud of my own brand of organic specialty coffee,
Speaker 5: Rudy Coffee. Believe me when I say it's the best
Speaker 5: coffee you have a tried. It's smooth, rich, chocolly and.
Speaker 1: Gentle on He said chocolate chocolate.
Speaker 2: What was that?
Speaker 1: Rude? Chocolately chocko CHOCOLI okay, like faculty chocolate.
Speaker 5: I even recommend drinking it black.
Speaker 2: It comes in three. It's so good. Even this is
Speaker 2: such fucking filler because you're just selling uh okay, anyway,
Speaker 2: What's the detail that sticks out to me though, is
Speaker 2: that they're organic. Yeah, which feels a little bit well
Speaker 2: to me.
Speaker 1: Take that to the bank.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, Rudy. Now, I'm kind of off it.
Speaker 2: Thirty dollars for a bag.
Speaker 1: It's shot in such a weird well, I got I
Speaker 1: don't think it's actually shot here. I think it's actually
Speaker 1: like a backdrop cgi version of like a nice New
Speaker 1: York apart.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Even the hero shots, like the product shots, are like
Speaker 4: this weird three D render.
Speaker 2: It's like all bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all bad. It feels like it's not he's
Speaker 1: not even using a photo of a real apartment. He's
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, it's very strange. Yeah, it feels like
Speaker 1: the like Kim and Kanye when they did the tour
Speaker 1: their house and there's like nothing, it's just like all
Speaker 1: weird geometric shapes with nothing on the.
Speaker 2: It's my favorite color, tope.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's all tope, all tope all the time.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: But anyway, he's like, and remember when you bind this,
Speaker 4: you're supporting the cause of truth.
Speaker 1: Huh uh huh.
Speaker 2: I know, buddy, I know. Just like I said, man,
Speaker 2: just you know, just leave, just leave. No one was
Speaker 2: to hear from you.
Speaker 1: Again. There's a huge news story.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: Rumors have been swirling about this for weeks, but the
Speaker 1: chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court finally announced on
Speaker 1: Monday that he would be seeking arrest warrant for three
Speaker 1: Hamas leaders, as well as Net and Yahoo and his
Speaker 1: defense minister, alleging that they are responsible for war crimes
Speaker 1: and crimes against humanity. So this is different than the ICJ.
Speaker 1: The ICC differs in that it tries individuals as opposed
Speaker 1: to settling disputes between states.
Speaker 4: Yeah and yeah, really great reactions from everyone all around,
Speaker 4: whether it's Net and Yahoo saying that this guy is
Speaker 4: like a Nazi, like this court is like a bunch
Speaker 4: of Nazis or the prosecutor is an anti Semite. To
Speaker 4: Joe Biden being like, they're not even doing genocide.
Speaker 1: You're like, Joe, Joe, Joe, that isn't even what they
Speaker 1: said in the charge. They said crimes against humanity and
Speaker 1: second level.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's outrageous.
Speaker 4: What's happening in Gaza is not genocide, and like the yeah,
Speaker 4: these are not the charges, these are not the charges,
Speaker 4: but yeah, it says the specifically though, it says that
Speaker 4: Israel quote bears criminal responsibility for war crimes ranging from
Speaker 4: intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population to using starvation
Speaker 4: of civilians as a method of a war crime. So yeah,
Speaker 4: and then this is also getting news because it's like
Speaker 4: a Maal Clooney was one of the human rights lawyers
Speaker 4: that was.
Speaker 1: Like helping getting covered in the Hollywood Reporter. Also, yeah, which.
Speaker 4: Interesting too because Amal Clooney was kind of getting dragged
Speaker 4: on social media because people were like where Amal Clooney's
Speaker 4: been so silent, Like where is Amal Clooney who's been
Speaker 4: working on stuff? Like this like in her career, and
Speaker 4: like you're trying to act like, oh, like Hollywood got
Speaker 4: to her.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, she was doing the fucking work to get these
Speaker 2: the fucking warrant. Like it is wild how much people
Speaker 2: put into social media like activism, and they're like, Amal
Speaker 2: Clooney hasn't posted anything.
Speaker 4: Amal Clooney is a human rights lawyer who's like like
Speaker 4: really like on the front lines here in terms of
Speaker 4: this criminal case.
Speaker 1: Yes, she works on these charges, but what has she posted?
Speaker 2: Yeah, question, you're posting about the thing, y'all? Are okay? Sure? Sure?
Speaker 1: Sure? So next day pre trial panel of three judges
Speaker 1: will have to decide whether or not the warrants should
Speaker 1: be issued, which takes around two months on average. It
Speaker 1: should be also noted that the United States and Israel
Speaker 1: are both not members of the Iccuh weird, It's interesting.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because then we'd be like, you know, have to
Speaker 4: be held to account by it, right, so forget that.
Speaker 4: I mean the closest we got I think.
Speaker 2: Was what they Clinton signing it but never actually signed up.
Speaker 1: But never sent it to Congress. And then uh Bush
Speaker 1: unsigned to that ship real quick because he was like
Speaker 1: I think I'm about to do some war rhymes. So yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna gonna move off that.
Speaker 4: But also and if you then then that that bill
Speaker 4: came out to where it's like, if you threaten any
Speaker 4: of us, we will fucking invade the Hague.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't even take all think about it, because we're innocent.
Speaker 2: Because that's how innocent we are.
Speaker 1: That's what innocent people do.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a this is a very Yeah, this
Speaker 4: is uncharted territory. It was really also interesting to see
Speaker 4: too that like how the Chief prosecutor here was like
Speaker 4: kind of being discouraged to not really go after like
Speaker 4: senior leaders like in like you know, Israeli officials, and
Speaker 4: he said he was saying he was told by one
Speaker 4: senior quote senior leader that the ICC was quote built
Speaker 4: for Africa and for thugs like Putin, not the West
Speaker 4: and its allies.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And when you look at like the cases that have
Speaker 4: actually you know, like come out of this court, it's
Speaker 4: disproportionately Africans. So yeah, interesting, they're like, God, don't use
Speaker 4: this tool that we used to punish Africa to bring
Speaker 4: an account to the West.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: God, that's just that's unimaginable.
Speaker 4: So yeah, we will see now where this goes. But
Speaker 4: I mean, like as we saw earlier, I mean there
Speaker 4: was like there were a few bullying letters from like
Speaker 4: Republican senators who were like, we'll fucking go after your
Speaker 4: whole family, right if you try and pull some shit
Speaker 4: like this. Again, really great look for the United States
Speaker 4: just to be a party to all of this. And again,
Speaker 4: Joe Biden, really you're doing really killing it.
Speaker 2: Bro killing it, man, killing it. You're doing no wrong
Speaker 2: by by piping.
Speaker 1: Man, that's crazy. What what are we talking about here?
Speaker 1: Come on, man?
Speaker 2: What is that on the pea?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Damn, my face hurts. All right, that's gonna do it
Speaker 1: for this Tuesday, May twenty First, we are back tomorrow
Speaker 1: with the Who last episode of the show. Until then,
Speaker 1: be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get
Speaker 1: the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we
Speaker 1: will talk to y'all tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Bye bye,
