maybe it's tooth housing tooth housing that's talking about your mouth tooth housing it's a dental rat anyways if anyone knows what that song is can you just sing it again just for one more time 2000 2000 okay so i know that i repeated at least once okay um that's all i got that's all i got folks don't know the genre couldn't tell you any couldn't give us any

other descriptions like it was like a fun party song and i'm i'm feeling new york vibes for some reason could be wrong could be i just lived in new york when i heard it one time and it was a kid children's birthday party that i was riding my bike by um who knows but if anybody does Let me know Let us know That is the trending title That is Miles Gray over there I am Jack O'Brien And that's the trending title Because Y2K fashion is

Taking over And Jay-Z is loving it Ba da ba ba ba Well guess what Apparently sales of women's cargo pants jumped 81% from January to May. Buckle up, motherfuckers. H&M and Zara say they're seeing success with biker jackets. Remember those?

Denim garments, like all denim, everything. Crop tops. People talking about fucking baby t-shirts are coming back. And the really thing that I realize Y2K is back is because of The bright colored velour tracksuits That are reemerging now Velour tracksuits I have not seen

Neither hide nor hair Of them since the early 2000s So this does feel like I've been waiting Every time someone said Y2K fashion is coming back I was like but is it But is it really denim's been around but yeah brightly colored velour tracksuits too warm for for anyone i feel

like i'm very comfortable but um they call it the mcbling era yeah i mean which makes sense when i see it i'm like okay jeans yeah and just like. Yeah, and just like this 2004 to 2008. Really, 2000, 2008. That's when I was peaking, baby. With the Razorphone and the rainbow Louis Vuitton print belt. Twas out here. With that look. But yeah.

Big, cute, zirconia earrings. I've seen the pic. Oh, yeah. Dude, I have ones that were so heavy. They were drooping off my ear. Because they were so foolishly big. Because I was trying to pick. Oh yeah. I do. I have ones that were like so heavy. Like they were like drooping off my ear. Cause they were so foolishly big. Cause I was trying to look like bird, man.

Gauges. You look like you gauged your ears. Almost, almost, almost. But yeah, I'm, I'm kind of,

I feel like my mom has, my mom doesn't throw away like my clothes. So like, if I ask her like, you got anything at the house, I feel like I could probably put together a sick ass mcblinger alf i mean i know i could i know i could put together like a 2001 rap video look with like a do-rag oversized throwback jersey baggy jeans tim's wristbands headbands all that could be one of the people in that the video for that song 2000 there it is that old channel 2000

that's like a pop song i don't know um anyways what is there anything that you're hoping you'd like to see come back that you think might go too far like will will people start rocking with the dude oh you know what logitech books with the uh discman case logic case logic case logic okay let's come on you're not that old you were there you were there you had the case logic i have one of the words how did you do it did you do it where the the the booklet was behind the disc or the booklet was on the other side of the page to give it more of like a you know how did you do it because some people would yeah I think most people did it because that was a certain point yeah yeah

and then it's nice and snug in there nothing's falling out exactly yeah and then like but then like the seams would start to tear the seams truly testing tensile strength of said case logic cd case things I want to come back honestly bro I fucking dress

like such a washed asshole millennial. Like I have baggy basketball shorts. They're like, I'm like, I'll wear them now. But I used to wear you every 20 years. I used to wear these shits, though, that were like three quarter length basketball shorts. Wow. Not the best time of my life. No.

If we're given if we're doing make goods on that and we can bring them back i'm sure i could dig those up but yeah i mean i mean in the 90s i was wearing that with jorts i was wearing jorts three-quarter length oh jean cargo jargos jargos jargo shorts yeah one of my favorite pairs of shorts in 2000 i wore i remember very vividly my outfit to the uh lakers 2000 championship parade i wore denim jargo shorts uh with a mecca t-shirt yes like this new mecca t-shirt i got like my mom was like like you know i found it at ross and shit and i was like okay i'm wearing this fucking mecca t with my shit and i had the lakers towel yeah good times shout out to 15 year old me well we wanted to check in with the RFK Jr presidential campaign

very serious campaign seems like it's doing well so earlier this week he held a press dinner in which the event's host started drunkenly ranting about the climate hoax then got into a screaming match with his friend after he told him to shut up it only ended when

said host let out a quote booming fart all while shouting i'm farting appropriately enough i mean so it was the host right this guy doug decker and then he got in a fight with his friend art critic Anthony Hayden Guest who the page 6 points out appeared to have been sleeping for most of the dinner but then was like roused by the abrupt like screaming that was going on and then yeah I just like that they're

screaming at each other back and forth about the climate and then I guess yeah you just I guess that is a way to punctuate an argument it's just a fucking fart and say i'm farting yeah that's what do you what do you do in that instance are you are you saying it like as you do it like are you calm like and they're talking these go i'm farting yeah if you know that, like that adds a little, a little kind of punctuation of, and I did it on purpose.

Okay. So he was yelling. So was it more of a Oprah? I'm farting or I'm farting. Or was it, he started farting. Everyone's looking, looking over at him and he,

it's still going. And so he just, yeah, I'm farting. Yeah, I'm farting. What? You've never done it before? Okay. Mr. Never Farts. Dennis Kucinich was there, too.

Apparently had a front row seat to the fart fest. Maybe he's a little insecure about how much he's contributed to the climate crisis. With the methane. The methane. about how much he's contributed to the climate crisis with the methane but they did say methane rfk the quote from the from page six the candidate maintained a steady composure in the face of the crisis that's what we look for from our president you know yeah that's that's a steady hand we need that pensian ability to just dissociate and just physically be there amidst all this physical turmoil that's there but the other story uh there is a kennedy bus being driven across uh canada and blaring out uh i forget which song it is it's one of those like one of the songs that like forest gump used

to what it's what it's for what it's worth by buffalo springfield yeah exactly like the you know needle drop that it's like okay this is something something is happening here yeah i'm farting um but so it's people were noticing um they're like weird that he's not running for president up here of canada no that's weird but it is so the person driving the bus is apparently another fail son uh this time or fail brother but yeah i guess fail son kyle kemper who just happens to be prime minister justin trudeau's half-brother. That's awesome. Yeah.

Good for him. Just like... That he's out there just using his energy. He's a fellow conspiracy theorist, a fellow, you know, failure to live up to the... Right-wing loser. Yeah. Right-wing loser. Yeah. And person whose family had political talent.

And he's like, what about me? What about me? I've got the same last name. or in this case i don't he looks like a devious kenny g impersonator yeah he looks like he beat up kenny g and took his hair yeah and like his like beard that he has it's wild we're the same age i'm glad i don't look like that yeah that's what i always used to gauge. I'm like, how old are you? Okay. I'm older than you. Then you have to listen to me. So Justin Trudeau's father was obviously also the prime minister and his

mother. They had like a messy breakup during which she slept with Mick Jagger or was rumored, was romantically linked with, with Mick Jagger, Lou Rawls, Jack Nicholson. Okay.

And then ended up with like a contractor in Ottawa.ls, Jack Nicholson, and then ended up with a contractor in Ottawa. Named Fred. Named... Yeah. Fred Kemper. Would she hold that over him? You know I was with Lou Rawls, right? And Jack Nicholson.

But nobody is as cool as Ottawa developer Fred Kemper. They had two kids and this is the result of that. A little backstory there for you. The RFK RV rolls along in a powerful

way. I love that in this event he was supposed to have nothing about anything that had to do with him. The main distillation that RFK had a campaign event was this guy farted. This guy farted and announced it. event was this guy farted this guy farted and announced it hey this guy farted real loud though the story also like i don't know makes me really jealous of canada the kemper story because people are like yeah we don't really

like pay attention to him since canadians aren't quote terribly interested in the lives of politicians families um so like, we don't just automatically assume this person is interested. Right, right, right. Obviously he can become the president like his dad with backroom connections, but we don't automatically like make this person a celebrity and,

uh, re reprint his wild conspiracy theories because he's the half brother or son of the president. Yeah. Well, uh, I'm sorry, Canada.

Yeah. You're missing out. It's fucking cool down here. All of our trash juice is leaking up North. I know. Yeah. Just a gasoline rainbow of trash juice. Truly.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the

making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them. Why is that? I just come here to play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically Black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire?

Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And the FDA has approved the first over-the-counter birth control pill in U.S. history. Woo! Which, amazing. A milestone that could significantly expand access to contraception. Mm-hmm. It's called the Opil, or it is Opil. Is it Opil? Opil? Opil.

O-P-I-L-L. Yeah, we'll call that Opil. Opil. Opil. Whatever. They got it. fda stresses it is safe and is expected to be more effective than currently available non-prescription contraceptive methods and preventing unintended pregnancy i wonder like sometimes that that sounds like a euphemism for pulling out non-prescription well i think they are probably i think they're probably lumping like condom use where like right right and also pulling out in with one another uh yeah non

non-prescription contraceptive methods i mean i think this is this is something that a lot of uh you know reproductive rights activists have been talking about all the time it's like being able to access like birth control over the counter without a prescription is like one of the main recommendations these groups give all the time like if you want to help people especially women of color black women in this country uh make it as available as that because again turns out we live in a country of unequal access so this is like the kind of shit that also i mean not to mention the fucking medical horrors that have been perpetrated especially against black women you know probably easier to say i'll get it over the counter and a lot of the polling had said prior to this that like something like almost

60 of people of like uh who didn't have access to birth control through a prescription said that if there was something over over the counter non-prescription they would take that shit yeah the big question is will it be age restricted uh and what the cost will be right because that is also going to be a big determinant in how restricted it is. But birth control pills are already available in more than 100 countries without a prescription. Oh, really? Name them. Name every single one. You're so

smart. Go ahead. I'm waiting. I'm waiting, buddy. With over-the-counter birth... I'm just curious to see, because I think these countries are made up um oh united kingdom i've heard of that india okay china nah never heard of these famously laid back china um yeah man i'm like look contraception is important especially i mean

a god especially right now with all of the fucking restriction to abortion access absolutely this is like such a needed thing because also too you're reading more and more stories about how the lack of access to abortion care is being used by like coercive partners to keep people in shitty abusive relationships yeah um and god just again we're we're always about 10 years too late to the cool party. Right. But we're always the first ones there to the bomb the shit out of you parties. Right. Try it for making us look bad.

Bomb the shit out of you. We'll, we'll, we'll go to war with you. We're going to bomb you UK for having over the counter fucking birth control before. Unprovoked. What are you talking about? over-the-counter fucking birth control before it. Unprovoked? What are you talking about? This war was waged on the premise of, you think

you're better than me. The classic you think you're better than me? You think it's because you're older than me? You can boss me around? Not the boss of me. Every war with France was waged on similar pretenses. Yeah, but people are calling on Biden to do the right thing, so we'll see how that goes. Yeah. I mean,

then we can just look at what the, you know, what the lobbying efforts of the pills manufacturer Perigo are. And then I'm sure we'll get an idea of what they're thinking, but yeah, they're the ones that are going to set the price. Yeah. Cool.

It's weird that it's made by the same people who make shredded Parmesan cheese. Perigo. Doesn't that sound like a word that should be on a parmesan cheese thing i guess hey don't don't worry about me my brain is half just trying to come up with half my brain is devoted to a uh broken shazam app inside my brain. Trying to pull this shit. Has a database of one song and it's not that song. It's not that one. Is it this one?

No. Is it by Billy Joel? Because I heard a lot of Billy Joel going on. There is a Billy Joel song. That was one of the first when I Googled 2000 song lyric. That's got to be the hardest fucking thing to search. If this ends up being a Billy Joel song song i think i have to quit the podcast i'm like yeah i think it's like a hip-hop party anthem from new york yeah it's like

the listeners would understand yeah that if i come back what they expect from me if monday's episode i go oh i'm sorry jack didn't make it we had to put him we had to take him out back yeah because he called billy joel hip-hop miles a question that you and i often talk about uh off mic how often victor that's a good okay i'm sorry victor came through the chat said it sounds like a black eyed peas track could be black eyed peas that is great the way we're going very much feels like bergy yeah you're not 2000 and late. There's that part,

but then in 2000, that ain't too, anyway, I'm sorry, man. What if this is just like a thing that like I dreamed one time and has been in my head for the past, like 15 years.

Yeah. My son, my son, my youngest woke up today and started talking to me about a dream that I guess I was in with him last night. And he was like furious that i didn't know what he was talking about because he thought that i would remember the dream because i was there too have you shown him inception i've we're about to watch it yeah he's like you were

there it was your dream i was in remember talking about man and then you did the kick and you fell backwards into the bathtub that's right the kick that part where everybody's like just laid out with the needles in their arms like i feel like we're not far from that like that that's going to be the thing that oh everybody's the second i saw inception i was ready to hop in someone else's motherfucking dream yeah what is that god when can they do this already the the i think that movie's like a little underrated because it's i think it's the exactly no go off about christopher nolan right now it's the highest point of the thing he does which is like nothing about this should work

but everything but i'm like fully the second i start watching it i'm just like fully bought in i'm like this this premise is so dumb and yet i like fully yeah love it um and and don't never mind the plot holes okay it's just it's just all about the idea of going in a dream holes in his movies that are so big and so gaping i think he's doing it as a flex because he's so good at movie magic he's like look you didn't even notice i just completely contradicted the whole concept of the film right there yeah i had somebody in an ape suit walk through the screen you didn't even notice it so focused on the fucking kick yeah um all right how often should you poop miles it's a question that jack we said you weren't going to talk about this on the show. Oh, shit. Are we still on the show?

Where am I? 2000. 2000. It's, uh... Like, I've never thought there was one answer to this. I did have somebody I knew when I was younger who famously

took pride in the fact that he only pooped once a week and needed an extra strength toilet because of the work that he would put down into, into those pipes when he did poop, which is the thing. It was like one of the, like the thing that someone told me about this person.

So this is how old were you? This was like college i thought this was a fifth grader shit no no no no okay so this person was like wait and it wasn't that you heard it directly from the source someone's referring like you know they take one shit a week it's like a legend they need an extra strength toilet yeah what does that mean because the shits were so dense like yeah so big and dense that like it was just too much wow too much for plumbing um well when i told you i shit five times a day you said i don't know if that's normal and then i got offended uh but it turns out you don't have to shit five times a day to be quote unquote healthy this i don't

know why this like cnn article is like asking some gastroenterologist uh being like yeah most people have anywhere between a bowel movement up to three times a day or three times a week so anywhere in that range we consider normal and apparently the idea that pooping once a day equals health came from the Victorian era. Of course it did. Yes. When the beer literally flowed like water because it was too dirty to drink. That even kids and pregnant ladies are like, yo, pass that mild beer real quick. Yeah.

The one a day is like the thing. I mean, this is all old people talk about. Like there comes a point when you get old enough and everyone's just like so are you regular how regular are you how's everything going three times a day to three times a week yeah did you ever i'm sorry i'm still thinking about this person who how does someone in college do this like self-mythologizing about their shitting and people are like uh-huh yeah yeah damn yeah i don't know because it's like right around 9-11 huh yeah things were things were fucked up i'm just trying to think of when you were in college i'm

like yeah that we were in a different place then we were taking people that guy shits and breaks toilets you're like okay cool cool cool my friend was wearing his full-length uh uh tracksuit velour tracksuits with no shirt under right it was it was the time um all right well i think we can leave it there let the people know where where our values lag um yeah they say again that article said it's it's more about like how hard it is for you to push it out you know what i mean right they say the best kind looks like sausages with cracks in it okay that's actually the description of this article here because i was going on like what is this article really about then if if the whole thing isn't like

yeah man you can fucking shit however much or little as you want but then they're like but it's about the form yeah and the consistency that you don't want you want regular ice cream but then even then people are like you know i have a friend who takes little rabbit poops all the time yeah like my one of my best friends my homegirl she takes little rabbit pellet shits yeah and i was i've had that and yeah it's very strange and she went to the doctor because i made fun of her in high school and i mean not i made fun of her i was like are you that doesn't seem normal and then the doctor was like no you're good like they did a bunch of tests like yeah you

just kind of shit like a rabbit yeah just nugging it out all right well those are some of the things that are trending on this thursday afternoon we are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show.
