Oh, you know, his slave namewas Tony when I adopted him.
No black cat of mine in Americais not going to have an ethnic
name, we're just nugget plainnugget.
I called you for that.

Sophia (01:35):
You got to go to the side of the road up in upstate
New York.
I'm like what are you doing?
That could have beendeliverance.
All of a sudden that's theirfree kitten.
He's like I'm going to check itout.

Nele (01:47):
Oh yeah, so y'all, we're going to get into some
normal-ish, but it's not sonormal-ish, All right.

Sophia (01:57):
Can you talk about it first?
On the Olympics.

Nele (02:01):
All right, I'm going to scroll down to that, all right.
All right, I'm going to scrolldown to that, all right, all

Okay, so so much blackexcellence.
That has happened.
All right, first of all yourgirl, simone biles.
Can we just give it up for herto go.
she's so dope, so now she's likethe most decorated gymnast of
all time Just the goat.

Sophia (02:45):
Did y'all see the podium of the?

Nele (02:47):
winners yes, with the three ladies right.
So it was Rebecca Andrade,Simone Biles and Jordan Childs,
and they both, all three of them, got medals, and that's like
history making as well.

Sophia (03:05):
Yeah, awesome medals and , um, that's like history making
as well.
Yeah, that's awesome in theolympics.
First of all, I think it's likethe most when it comes to
gender parity.
It's like a record.
I think 48 were women.
We just see, like just that'samazing across all countries.

Nele (03:24):
Yes, so we also have, like our caribbean peeps
representing.
We had julian, alfred and thealanford yes, I know what.

Sophia (03:35):
St lucia in the house yes, no, no alliance man in the
world.
Is that what they're calling it?
Yeah, I believe, so I saw thatrace.
It was really exciting to see.
Yes, I thought the Jamaican hadit, but I might just be biased

(03:56):
towards Jamaicans, but you know,they said he got it up like
100th or 1000th of a second.
So I'm like, hey, yeah, go forit.
So that was pretty amazing tosee and go for it.
So that was that was prettyamazing to see.
And we're volleyball parentstoo, so we love watching the
volleyball matches.
Team usa came through well.
They still have some time to go, but it's been exciting girl,
definitely.

Nele (04:15):
We're even like doing it in fencing, okay.
So shout outs to all the peoplein the diaspora doing it.

Sophia (04:25):
Setting records, making records, breaking records all of
that Whatever we do, we do itwell we do it exceptionally well
, and I have to shout out Haiti.
I know they didn't really wantanything but Sac passe, sac
passe, sac passe.
We sent five Olympians rightand I think that might have been

(04:45):
a record for us, so, um, I wasreally glad to see them, uh.
So, yeah, it's pretty cool.
Okay, all right, dope.

Nele (04:54):
So start off on a positive note before we get into it,
because that was actuallytowards the end.
I was like.
You know joy and pain.
You know sunshine and rain.
You know joy and pain, you knowsunshine and rain, you know.
But, um, all right y'all.
So, of course, in the land ofpolitics, um, it has been a lot

(05:18):
going on, right, so we're justgoing to talk about a few of
these things and just go fromthere.
So, july 30th, kamala had arally in Atlanta where Meg the
Stallion performed and Quavofrom the Migos spoke, and Megan

(05:39):
has coined the term hotties forHarris, and I am here for it.
I love that.
However, it was quite a littlebit controversial because there
was some twerkage that washappening.
Was it Kamala?
No, I'd definitely vote for herthen because I can't twerk, but

(06:04):
I guess they just felt that itwas inappropriate and I do feel
at times the audience wasn'treally into it.
It was a little little parts.
a little dry the response, but Ithink meg tried to keep it cute
in presidential-ish.

(06:25):
She wore a little suit but itwas cropped so no parts were
hanging out, no nip slips.
It was a classy twerk.
What do you think I?

Sophia (06:44):
think there's a time and place for everything.
When the future?
Madam President, which one isQuavo?
Is Quavo the one who's cheatingon Cardi B?

Nele (07:00):
No, that's Offset.
His nickname is Off to Cheat,Off to Cheat.
I was going to include thatsituation in normal-ish but I
was like I don't care, They'llbe back together.
No one's going to buy youralbum because you've threatened
for the 16th time to leave thisman who constantly cheats on you
.
You sabotage your own career byyou keep getting pregnant Girl.

(07:23):
Anyway, continue.
Yeah, sabotage your own careerby you keep getting pregnant
girl.

Sophia (07:28):
Anyway, continue, yeah, um, but a bit more.
When it comes to stuff likethat, I think I'm a bit more
conservative, like I.
Just, if I went there to seeher speak, I wouldn't want to
see.
Uh, there's a time and placefor that.
If I want that, I could gosomewhere else.
I don't know if she's trying toshow that she's cool, which we
know you are, you know.

Nele (07:46):
Yeah, I guess it's her way of trying to connect.

Sophia (07:51):
There are ways to connect and I feel like you
don't need to go like at someweird, like that's the basic
level.
There are other ways youconnect with your audience or
who she's trying to connect with, by having Megan and Quavo, or
if you have a mix of people likeI, just don't to me.
That wouldn't speak to me.
I would have cringed.

Nele (08:11):
I guess for Quavo, because he lost who was the one that
passed, who was who was shot.
I remember that.
Yeah, it was a takeoff, takeoff, a shot and so lost to gun
violence.
So I guess his connection tolosing someone to gun violence.
So that's why I don'tunderstand what she was trying
to do, because Megan got shot inthe foot.

Sophia (08:32):
Is that and Megan got shot in the foot?

Nele (08:34):
I don't understand oh, I didn't even make that connection
about shot in the foot and gunviolence.
I didn't even make thatconnection.
I just thought, yeah, I dothink that, like, particularly
the African-American culturewere more than just twerking and
to be like, hey, let me connectwith the Black folks with
twerking girl.

Sophia (08:55):
I didn't expect Trump to do that.
To be honest with you, yeahthat just that did not feel.
It felt disingenuine, like Ijust.

Nele (09:07):
I get it.
I get it.
I have mixed feelings about it.

Sophia (09:20):
I remember when Megan was on SNL and it was a time
when it was another one of uswho got shot by the police and
she was, and it was like protectBlack women.
She's on the stage and she'slike twerking to her music and
I'm like to me that just feltall sorts of wrong.

Nele (09:32):
Yeah, it's just some things.
Most things don't require atwerk.

Sophia (09:38):
No, not at all, there's a time for twerking.

Nele (09:43):
Yeah, I remember when the riots not the riots, but the
protests were happening andthere were Black women twerking
on police cars.
No, no, no, we're not going togo there.
You're not going to talk.
I love my people, but sometimesthe judgment Are you serious?
I'm flagged by my cheeks forjustice?

(10:04):
Just whew, oh my God, okay,mind frame All judgment.
Are you serious like I'mflagged by my cheeks for justice
?
Just, oh, my god, okay, mindframe, all right we're gonna,
we're gonna move on, um.
But during this time, you know,kamala was like pull up, okay,
like trump has backed out of thedebate with uh, kamala, um.
And then he said he would onlyagree to it if it's done on fox.

(10:28):
Now my thing is, it's alreadyagreed to that.
You were going to do it in abcand when you were dealing with
with biden, you were ready forthe smoke, because you can
continue to lie and not makesense, and he's mumbling, can
barely whisper.
And then, of course, you'regoing to be the winner by
default.
But kamala can form sentences,kamala's intelligent, and so you

(10:49):
will pale in comparison.
And so now you want to go tofox, where you know they're not
going to fact check you oranything like that.
I don't understand.
Just because you go to fox,we're still going to see the
same cameras, like we're stillgoing to see what.
I don't know how that's goingto change anything.
Is AI going to change the wordscoming out of his mouth?

Sophia (11:08):
I don't understand we're going to have to cut off her
mic every time she's speaking.
I don't put nothing past.
Yeah, or Republicans, yeah.
Could you imagine, like youknow what?
Nothing would surprise meanymore with what's happening.

Nele (11:25):
It wouldn't, it wouldn't, it wouldn't.
There's a reason why he wantsit to be on fox, um, when he
originally agreed for it to beon abc.

Sophia (11:31):
Yeah and do you see how they're like, the way they're
attacking her?
It's like, no, it's like she'sa slut, she's the hot tour hot
tour girl.
So disgusted I'm.
Like there's nothing beneaththese people.
They are so gross.

Nele (11:45):
And particularly, I don't mean it to be like all like,
like, particularly blackly black, you know.
But at the same time I've neverheard Hillary Clinton being
sexualized in this way.
But even look at Michelle Obamaand now look at what's
happening with Kamala.
To be an attractive,intelligent black woman, to get

(12:07):
to a certain place where you are, you have to have slept with
someone and you know what sowhat but so so what what?

Sophia (12:16):
if she did.
I don't like, I don't buy intothat like maybe she did, maybe
she did.
But I'm just tired of thisnarrative that if you're a woman
, especially if you're a blackwoman, that means you did not
get anything on your own.
Someone handed it to you.
Or you're like oh, a DEI hireyou know.
Like it's like, you can't, theycan't, they don't believe that
you could do anything on yourown.
You're not, you're not smartenough.

(12:36):
And when you look at I mean Iwas in recruiting Right, and I
see the resumes that comethrough A lot of times when
we're hiring for these, likedirector or above positions,
every Black woman's resume thatcame through for those positions
, like they were, they weredegreed like to the T, they had
all these extra things just tomake themselves stand out,

(12:58):
whereas someone else would belike, well, I did this and that
and I got a, you know, and I gota bachelor's.
Not saying there's anythingwrong with the bachelor's,
that's, that's all I have and Iwould not go any higher.
A lot of them that came throughwhen they were already in these
leadership positions andthey're trying to get to the
next level.
Their resume was pimped out,just impressive, and they feel

(13:18):
the need to get all these extrathings, and even then they still
question whether or not you'resmart enough to do this job, and
that's what they're doing withher.
So that's why I hear that theysay stuff like that yeah, and
look at freaking melania trump.
She was, I mean she's not.
I mean she's not going for thepresidency, but she's.
They idolize her right likeshe's the.

(13:39):
She was.
She didn't.
She pose and play boy.
She posed nude for a frenchmagazine.

Nele (13:45):
Like yes, so you need to tell me that the first ladies
labia, has been seen by themasses.

Sophia (13:52):
I don't know if down there was seen, but definitely
up here um, nipples, nipples, um.
She also married him when shewas like 35.
She met him at 28, married at35 and usually and he was about
59 when they got married, andusually when people, there are
speculations, right, not sayingthat, not saying it wasn't love,
but we don't speculate aboutthat at all there was that New

(14:15):
York?
Times article where apparentlyhe told her that it was.
They were one of his properties, they were at the pool and he
has business associates.
He wanted her to walk around ina two piece so that these other
men could see what they'remissing out.
And it's like, I think, trump,that seems like his style, right
?
So there are differentstandards.

(14:36):
Definitely, you know, like sheis idolized, she's held up at
this as this.

Nele (14:46):
I don't know like an.

Sophia (14:46):
American more than michelle obama, who was born in
the us.

Nele (14:49):
But then they want to go after kamala, like this is the
party of hypocrisy, like it'slike and then, of course, it is
either a black woman, eitheryour mammy or your jezebel, and
it's just like it's not fairthat we get boxed in.
But, like I, have a verydifferent thought process on it.
Again, all other people usewhat they can, and Alicia's

(15:13):
using it to further herself, tohopefully lead us out of this
hot mess, okay.
So if she had sleep with acouple of people to get to the
top, I don't care, I reallydon't care, I don't care, I
really don't care, I don't care.

Sophia (15:28):
And how's that different than when you hear, I mean, it
is different, it is different.
But then there are these menwho are unqualified to do what
they do.
They go to the same golf club.
Their kids go to the sameprivate school, so they meet and
they make these back alleydeals and then you like, then

(15:49):
you have people in the C-suitewho like they have no idea what
they're doing, but they know theright people.
Yes, you know, if she did whatshe did, which I know she didn't
well, you know what?
I don't know her, but she'squalified.

Nele (15:57):
I don't think she did you.
You can't sleep your way to geta law degree.
You can't keep your way to passthe bar.
Maybe you slept your way tohave access to certain things.
But even if someone helps youget your foot in the door.
I know for us, even if someonehelps you get your foot in the
door, you have somequalifications.

(16:17):
You're not totally, just, youknow, unqualified.
Someone helped you get there,you know.
So I don't.
I think it's disrespectful totalk about someone who could
possibly be the future presidentof the United States that way.
I believe so, but I don't.
If she slept her way to the topand you become the first

(16:40):
Blackish president of the UnitedStates, yeah, that's a
write-off.

Sophia (16:45):
She's not black, though, so that's the narrative.
Like I've never, we're not evengoing to go into that Girl we
got some things to get to, okay.

Nele (16:56):
Okay, so Kamala has entered the race for over two
weeks and she was an underdog,but, um, she's pulling up in the
polling numbers.
She's doing better than Biden,um, but it's not a total blowout

(17:17):
yet, so it'll be interesting tosee how things progress as
she's campaigning more.
I do know the cat ladies areraising money.
I forgot her name on Instagram.
She has a cat nutmeg.
She's hilarious, and I wastrying to find the call, the
Zoom call for cat ladies forKamala, but they raised $320,000

(17:37):
for Kamala, nice, yeah, so thecat ladies are doing that.
Maybe because we havedisposable income, because we
don't have kids, Maybe I don'tknow.

Sophia (17:49):
Yeah, no club dues.
Yeah, trump attended the NABJconference.

Nele (18:06):
It was an unprecedented move and during his speech he
highlighted his administration'seffort to support Black
communities, citing initiativeslike criminal justice reform and
economic policies aimed atincreasing employment and
opportunities for minority.
But he also faced some toughquestions from the journalist

(18:29):
right, and they challenged hisprevious comments about policies
that were harmful to BlackAmericans.
Also, just how he's insultedother journalists as well,
insulted other journalists aswell and, by the way, people

(18:54):
that particularly Black peoplethat are talking about Trump or
whatever.
Do you remember Central ParkFive, the Central Park?

Sophia (19:00):
Five and what he put in the newspaper.

Nele (19:01):
So how can you want to have someone in office that does
not care about you?
It just boggles my mind, butanyway he also got, I gotta ask.

Sophia (19:13):
He also got sued a few times for discrimination and was
accused of hiding his blackcasino workers I didn't know
that yeah, wow, there are.
There are a lot of things thathe's done that shows what he
thinks of women, of Black people.
He ran ads against NativeAmerican casinos, saying they

(19:39):
were shady.

Nele (19:41):
That's crazy.

Sophia (19:42):
Yeah.

Nele (19:44):
And apparently during this interview, he's authority in
Blackness, because with Kamalahe's like is she black, is she
white?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's whathe was doing.
Okay, one day she's black, nextday she's Indian.
I don't know what thedifference like really, really

(20:05):
Trump, but he talked like that.

Sophia (20:07):
Huh, that would have been hilarious, but he talked
like that.
Huh, that would be hilarious ifhe talked like that that was my
trump impersonation.

Nele (20:15):
I need to work on it.
I need to work on it.
Then they asked like they askedto describe um.
He said she was a DEI hire.
So then one of the journalistshad asked for him to describe
what DEI is and he really didn'tgive an explanation.
One of the first journaliststhat had asked some questions

(20:37):
about some disparaging remarkshe made.
He didn't really even answerthe question because he said
that she was asking it prettyrudely.
Yes, ma'am, what a joke.
Now there was a little bit ofscrutiny about the three

(21:02):
reporters that were.
The journalists that were upthere First.
I wonder why there were threeof them.
I thought that was a bit much.
The journalists that were upthere First.
I wonder why there were threeof them.
I thought that was a bit muchand, I hate to say it, trump was
a little bit right about thewoman being a little bit rude.
I'm not going to lie.
Like normally you welcomesomeone, you say hey, and then

(21:22):
you call a ball quest a littlebit and then you hit them with
the heat.
No, that's not.
She was just guns blazing, youknow.

Sophia (21:30):
So she could have that's what you got to do with trump,
though, because if you show himthat you're soft, he comes at
you.

Nele (21:36):
So you gotta you gotta meet him where he's at right,
he's a narcissist, sis, yougotta you gotta massage the ego.
You gotta make them seem thatthey're important and what they
really are, and then you hitthem when the guards are down.
That's a good point.
Yeah, they didn't know how toappeal to his ego.
Yeah, I think they would havegotten more actually out of him,

(21:59):
and so now he's going to be onthe defense, right, yes, but
yeah, that was a hot mess.

Sophia (22:07):
Did they reach out to him or did he?
Because there was thatcontroversy because they turned
down Kamala because she couldn'tdo it live, and then they tried
to back pedal all of that.
It was just.

Nele (22:21):
I don't know.
I think he reached out to them.
I think I don't know.
Don't quote me on that, but Iwill.
I think he reached out to them,I think I don't know.
Don't quote me on that, but Iwill provide a quote from Trump,
because he's done so much forBlack people.
He said that he has done morefor Black Americans than any
president since Abraham Lincoln.

(22:41):
I wish I was making this up.
I wish I was making this up,okay he lists out what he's
worth exactly.

Sophia (22:57):
No, he just said he's done what he's done for anyone
that wasn't like rich or in hislike bracket.

Nele (23:05):
I don't know what he's done honestly, but just appoint
bracket Like what has what.
Really I don't know what he'sdone honestly, but just appoint
Supreme people in the Supremecourt.

Sophia (23:12):
That would overturn.

Nele (23:13):
Rosie Wade Supreme courts yeah, yeah, which is a big deal
to have people in, you know,your people in the Supreme court
.
So that's what he did, that'swhat Republicans?

Sophia (23:24):
if they want shit done, they will get it done.

Nele (23:26):
They will get it done and that's why I need the Dems to
like have it here in a thug rollup pull up.

Sophia (23:35):
I mean Democrats have those types of people, but then
who are the leaders?
Like Pelosi was.
I mean I've talked about herall.
She was like one foot off thedoor, yeah, yeah, whatever.
I know the younger ones.
If they have whatever, but theyneed to, they need to show some
some more, some more initiative.

Nele (23:57):
we need to be out there, and I understand people not
wanting to vote like I get it,but at the same time, what is
the alternative?
We can't do four more years ofTrump.
I'm just I get it, but at thesame time, what is the
alternative?
We can't do four more years ofTrump.
I'm just anti-Project 2025.
That's where I'm at, and I needa president that is intelligent

(24:19):
and that can formulatesentences.

Sophia (24:22):
Who's not going to go on the attack, who's not trying to
be a dictator?
Yes, apparently, americansdon't mind a dictator, as long
as it's someone like Trump,right?
Yes, but for people who wedon't look like Trump, we don't
want him being our dictator no.

Nele (24:40):
But yeah, that's it for Normal-ish.
The main topic.
We're talking about the freaksof the week Republicans.
Okay Now, freaks of the weekRepublicans?
Okay, no-transcript, butRepublicans are the biggest

(25:13):
hypocrites.
Okay, like, how are you gonnago around talking about all this
stuff?
And there's rumors about youhaving sex with the love seat.
Okay, now, it wasn't true.
So they say.
But I mean just, republicRepublicans have a history of
engaging in behaviors that don'tmirror the policies that

(25:33):
they're fighting against, right,and so you have these
Republicans that are on thedownload.
Shout outs to the RNC Right,remember, with Grindr
notifications, we're like, Iforgot the noise for the.
Is that the, the grindernotification?

Sophia (25:50):
I don't know.

Nele (25:52):
I need to consult with my gay husband Javi.
I should know the grinder noise.
I should know it.
Why are you putting hisbusiness out here?
No, not saying I just have toconsult with all things gay.
Not saying he's on the grinder,no there are definitely times I
didn't know things like girl.
Why didn't you come talk to me?
You should know this.

Sophia (26:12):
So um, can we do a side note?
So apparently, um, there's asection in one of these apps is
it bumble, like one of thesedating apps, where it's just for
friendship, el, bumbleumble,bumble, bff.
I kind of, because I'm new toAtlanta and I want to make some
new friends that I can once in awhile, we can go out at like

(26:34):
five and I can be home by nine.
No, no, no girls, no, is itlike undercover?
They trying?

Nele (26:39):
to.
I heard that it's a lot ofweirdos in a bad way.

Sophia (26:46):
Yeah.

Nele (26:49):
I thought about Bumble BFF Actually, but well, I mean,
don't take my word on it.
I think you'd do a better jobat like a meetup or something
like that.

Sophia (26:58):
Because someone I know ran into some like they were at
an event, and then there werethese two girls there and you
know they were supporting.
It was for something, it waslike a club or something, and it
came up on how they you knowlike, how long had they been
friends?
Like, oh, we've only beenfriends for two years.
You know, I'm in the city and Imet them through this, so I was

(27:19):
considering it, but I'm like Idon't, I don't know, maybe I
will do a meetup.

Nele (27:26):
Yeah, yeah, but don't know , maybe I will do a meetup.
Um, yeah, yeah, but bumble bff,I would not recommend, but I
didn't, I don't know.
Maybe you should try one andlet us know how it is.
Maybe I will.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, do it,do it, do it okay so we were
talking about the republicans intheir freaky, deaky ways, okay,

(27:46):
so it was.
The grinder was grinding, okay,during the rnc.
Okay, and these are the peoplethat are supposed to be like all
family values and all thisother stuff and making sure to,
like, put in laws in place thataffect the lgbtqia community,
you know, but at the same time,you freaking tapping under under

(28:09):
the stalls right, it wasn't the, I forgot the name of the
politician where he was in thestalls and he tapped his foot
two times and that was thesignal.

Sophia (28:16):
Oh, who was that politician?
There were so many of them.
Yes, that was doing that, wasit?
It was Larry Craig, aRepublican United States Senator
from Idaho, arrested for lewdconduct in men's restroom at the
Minneapolis St PaulInternational Airport and ended

(28:36):
his career.
I got a couple of more.
Once you're done, we can leavethem.

Nele (28:41):
But the thing is right.
Republicans like to pretendlike they don't like to get it
in.
Ok, they like to pretend likethey do and all I don't know.
I don't understand how beingconservative means that you
don't want to get it on, and nowyou're just trying to make it
harder for everybody to get iton.
Yeah Right, y'all are repressed, y'all are depressed, and you

(29:07):
want the rest of us to suffer.

Sophia (29:10):
They're all depressed and a lot of this.
They're tying it to Christianvalues, right, like family value
to man and a woman, and nothingelse.
We don't talk about divorce.
Divorce should be in there.
Trump has been married anddivorced how many times?
Five or four More times than wecould count Five times yeah.

(29:31):
His son is divorced and about tomarry someone.
It's just all of these things,right, and we talk about single
women.
What about the single men?
Lindsey Graham is out heredefending JD Vance when this man
has never been married, doesn'thave any kids there are
speculations about maybe he'sasexual, but there's a lot of

(29:54):
closeted comments about a lot ofthese Republicans.
Tim Scott, who took agirlfriend out of thin air and
be like hey, there's mygirlfriend.

Nele (30:05):
Family values- I hope she's getting paid a nice hefty
fund for for getting her justgot married because I'm sure the
republicans were like yo.

Sophia (30:14):
You people speculate.
But why did he have to getmarried, lindsey?
No one's well, I guess he wastrying to run for president, so
he had to yeah, her yeah yeah,there were presidents who got
married and off, like it's just,I don't understand this whole
oh family values, when theydon't, they don't follow any of
that and I'm gonna, if you have,I'm gonna let you continue.

(30:35):
Then we're gonna go throughthese, uh, these scandals no
girl, you can go ahead.

Nele (30:40):
But just kind of, just when you talk about men that are
childless as well, right, we'vehad five childless presidents
before.
George Washington, yes, had nokids.
Had no kids, did he?
He wasn't invested in theUnited States, mm-hmm.
You know who had kids,mussolini?

(31:00):
You know who had kids Stalin?

Sophia (31:06):
Yeah.

Nele (31:07):
Okay, like just assigning morality to what you do in the
bedroom or your reproductive,how you choose to use your
reproductive organs, is justit's wild to me, honestly, yeah

(31:31):
wild to me honestly.

Sophia (31:32):
Yeah, and some of them may not, maybe they don't
believe in this, but hey, that'swhat their base wants and if
they want to stay in power,that's what they gotta fight for
.
And that's why you have, like,all these republicans who are
closeted, you know, they'rerepressed.
They used to have a pageprogram that was like for high
school students to work, youknow, in Congress, and they I

(31:52):
mean they shut it down forfinancial reasons.
But in its past there have beensome.
There have been some of thesesenators, congressmen,
republicans, sleeping with the,sleeping with these pages, and
they're I think so, they're they.
They're around 16, so I guess16 is the age of consent in dc.

Nele (32:10):
So they didn't which, in certain like states of
particularly conservative states, they're like lowering the age
of consent.
Oh, yeah, right, we're 14 yearsold.

Sophia (32:20):
They're fighting for our children, but they're trying to
lower the age of consent'tthink that makes sense.
Like the hypocrisy.

Nele (32:27):
Perverts Believe Perverts.
You just put your perversionsin legislation.
You're awful people.

Sophia (32:34):
Right, it's just.
I think suppressing things justdoes something to your soul,
right.

Nele (32:42):
Yes.

Sophia (32:43):
You know, it's a sense of shame, like what you're doing
is wrong and it's just I shame.
Like what you're doing is wrongand it's just.
I don't know how you, I don'tknow how you fight for things
that are against what you wantand what you want.
You know what I mean.
Like, how, like, how does, howdoes being gay?
Like I don't care.

Nele (33:02):
I think we should have like a freak nick for
Republicans.

Sophia (33:06):
They probably have it on their own.

Nele (33:07):
They probably do I mean, they were probably having orgies
, as you know, but you know,like the freaknik festival, like
what we used to have, you know,yeah, like what is like bike
week for Republicans?
I don't know, I don't know.

Sophia (33:25):
It's the RNC.
That's their stuff.

Nele (33:27):
But tell us about these freaky Republicans though.

Sophia (33:31):
Yeah, so we already talked about Larry Craig, so
let's see we have a few of themAll Republicans, by the way,
wesley Goodman, a former staterep, a vocal advocate for family
values and traditional marriage.
In 2017, he resigned after itwas revealed he had engaged in

(33:54):
sexual activities with men,including in his state office.

Nele (34:00):
Oh, office sex, that's spicy.
Don't let the stapler get youin a place that you can't get it
out of.

Sophia (34:16):
Ed Shock, a former congressman from Virginia known
for his support of Don't Ask,don't Tell policy and his
opposition to gay rights.
In 2004, he was caught using aphone service to solicit sex
with men, leading to hiswithdrawal from reelection.
Ralph Shorty, Oklahoma he'slike super conservative Oklahoma
.
He campaigned on traditionalfamily values.
In 2007, he was found with ateenage boy in a motel room and

(34:38):
was later charged with child sextrafficking, despite
consistently voting foranti-LGBTQ legislation.
Wow yeah, it was just such adisconnect.
Let's see the Mark Foleyscandal, which broke in late
September 2006,.
Centers on soliciting emailsand sexually suggestive instant

(35:00):
messages sent by Mark Foley, aRepublican congressman from
Florida, to teenage boys who hadformerly served as
congressional pages.
Congressman from Florida toteenage boys who had formerly
served as congressional pages.
And speaking of Florida, let'snot forget Matt Gates, okay, who
was being investigated for sextrafficking and having sex with
a 17-year-old girl.
Those were dropped because,whatever, the DOJ dropped them,

(35:24):
but it was a huge thing.
They don't make it like so what, I'm still gonna like, I'm
gonna run.
And he was like accused of likeshowing nude pictures on the on
the floor okay, this is noteven freaky like I was joking
about.

Nele (35:40):
This is just like perversion.
At this rate, it's perversionand you notice again, like the
trend, it's men that arecloseted that deal with men that
are underage suppress who youare is going to come out in ways

(36:08):
you don't want.

Sophia (36:08):
Right, when we think about priests and what happens
with young men and these priests, right, and these Catholic
churches and these lawsuits thatthey've had to settle, it's
telling us something right, likeit's telling you to not hide
who you are, because then youend up doing shit like this and
then you get caught and then,right, and I feel like it just
does something to your soul.
You're doing something that youknow is wrong.

(36:30):
When I say is wrong, you'reyou're targeting young people
who you think you could controland you think it won't come out
dealing with adults who mighthave the same feelings and it
would be.
It's mutual um so.

Nele (36:44):
But you notice right I just my mind was melding right
talking about control.
Like the same way that theywant to engage in activities
with people they control, theyalso want to put in legislation
to control women, to controlpeople as well.
They want to remove the powerso that we're weak and that we

(37:05):
don't have choices.
They want to remove the powerso that we're weak and that we
don't have choices.
And so when you get with theseyoung men or you know young
women, young men, whatever, likeyou get with people that you
can lord over, that you knowthat they have less agency than
you do because you're the onethat's in power, and that

(37:29):
translates into other areas oftheir life.
You know our lives.
It affects us, it makes uspowerless.
Just go ahead and just get onthe grinder.
You don't have to have secretsex.
You can go ahead and have justanonymous sex With whoever

(37:57):
there's people.
You can pay for this.
Have people sign NDAs.
I mean there's so many otherways instead of like getting
with children.

Sophia (38:08):
Essentially yeah, that's what they do.
Yeah, but it is.
It is the party of democracy,it is the party of fuck your
feelings.
Um, you know, like I, just Iwould love to know what goes on
through their head as they'repassing these laws or trying to

(38:33):
draft these laws, knowing theyhave daughters.
But you know what?
A lot of them have money,they're close to power, so a lot
of what they write for theregular people they could
Doesn't affect them.
Yeah, like they couldcircumvent that right.
Imagine if one of theseRepublicans have a daughter who
got pregnant and they're under.
You know, they're underage,because a lot of these states
are like, whatever happens, itcould be rape, we don't care,

(38:53):
you're having that baby.
If that happens to them,they're not.
Their kid is not having thatbaby, definitely not.
They have the means, like theyhave the means to take care of
it.
We don't.
Yeah't, it's lost for us, butnot lost for them, and that's
how it's always, always been.

Nele (39:12):
Look, I need to start reading some political
autobiographies, some juicy ones, because I don't want to hear
about the perversions.
I want to know all the freaky,deaky stuff that went down.
Okay, was there?
Were there ball gags?
Were there, um, were therebondage?

(39:35):
What was going on?
And you know what?
I think?
I think that the blackRepublicans and the white
Republicans that get togetherdefinitely engage in race play.
Okay, you can't tell me there'sno antebellum role play going
on.
Okay, it's happening.

(39:55):
It's happening.
I see it, I want to know all ofthat.
Okay, the juicy details.
Okay, y'all are repressed andyou're taking it out on the rest
of us.

Sophia (40:12):
I want to have like parties a la Diddy they
definitely do.

Nele (40:18):
I believe they do For sure .
Oh my God.

Sophia (40:23):
They don't invite all the women folks stay home, it's
just the men.

Nele (40:26):
Yeah, it's just, the men Import women from wherever.
But I was.
I don't know what prompted meto do this.
I was like, let me see if thereare any like fine Republicans,
like anyans.
That would make me drop mydraws.
Absolutely not, absolutely not.

(40:48):
There is nobody that I wouldwant to have sex with.
That's a republican.
They tried.
The article was like oh, thesexiest, the sexiest, the
sexiest politicians no child.

Sophia (41:03):
You know what?
I think?
Jd Vance is trying to win thatbecause apparently this is, this
might be just a rumor.
Y'all don't quote me on this.
He wears eyeliner.
Oh yeah, the guy liner, the guyliner OK, and I hear there's a

(41:23):
rumor that DeSantos wears heelsto appear.
Peter Taller.

Nele (41:26):
These are the men making our rules.
Okay, don't, nobody want to doJD Vance, except his wife.
And even then, I'm not evensure if she.

Sophia (41:39):
You hear me.
And the couches, oh the couches.
Well, they said that was arumor.

Nele (41:44):
Well, they said it was a latex glove that was stuck
between.

Sophia (41:50):
They said it was a rumor .
But somebody was like if youneed to write an article to
refute the fact that you had sexwith a couch, you've already
lost.

Nele (42:00):
That should never even come up.
How does it even generate?

Sophia (42:07):
I think there's a modicum of truth to it somehow.
I love that we're making upstories about them.
If you're gonna make up storiesabout people talking about
kamala slept her way to the top,we should be able to say you
had sex with a couch, yes, okayfair point.

Nele (42:22):
Yes, totally agree.
I wonder what kind of couch itwas whoever sat there made this
up, man.

Sophia (42:32):
God bless them yes give them an award, or the woman.
You're a national treasure.
Okay, cat woman, that did it.
Cat ladies.

Nele (42:39):
Yes, do you know something called CatCon?
Really?
Yes, catcon.

Sophia (42:50):
Do they take their cats in like the little cat buggies?

Nele (42:52):
Probably.
I think so.
Like I mean, you know, I lovemy boy and all, but how much is
there to really talk about?
Like, oh yeah, he only coughedup two hairballs.
I mean, like, what do we?

Sophia (43:06):

But you could take your cat,I've been to cat cafe.

Nele (43:11):
Oh, have you with yes, uh, no, this is.

I'm not sure.
But uh, in korea I went to acat cafe.
It was pretty dope.
Um, you greet it, you come in,there's little cats sitting
there.
Whatever, I had my little greentea.
One cat was trying to get in mypurse but there was this guy

(43:33):
that, like, came in and he wasjust very like stoic and cool.
He had his glasses on, he wasreal thin right and he just sat
there and all the cats were like, oh my goodness, it was like
the second coming.
You thought that catnip was allup and through.
He was just sitting there,really stoic with his cover.
And the cats were just likeflocking to him.

(43:54):
He was like the Michael Jackson.
You know, michael Jackson, whenpeople faint, all the cats were
coming to him.
I was like dang.
He had the socks.
But there is a Cat Cafedowntown Brooklyn which I found
by accident.

Sophia (44:11):
Of course there is.

Nele (44:12):
On Montague Street.
I'm going to check it out.

Sophia (44:15):

not when it comes to republicans.

Nele (45:27):
They don't love the mexican neighbors no, they don't
love, uh, black neighbors,childless neighbors, neighbors
that own felines they don't loveanybody.
They don't that own felines,they don't love anybody, they
don't.

know, we're the best.

Nele (46:09):
Y'all lying, but it's still Leo season.
But there's something importantthat's happening and it's
called the Lionsgate Portal.
It's a powerful astrologicalevent occurring annually,
peaking on August 8th, so 8-8.
Remember that the day before mybirthday.
8 is important, right?

(46:29):
So it's characterized by thealignment of the sun in Leo, the
star in Sirius, orion's beltand the earth.
This alignment is believed tocreate an energetic gateway
offering opportunities forspiritual growth, heightened
intuition and manifestation ofdesires.
So, y'all, you want to manifest, you want a new life, you want

(46:52):
to do certain things.
Now is the time to get it inthere.
So this portal opens aroundJuly 28th and closes around
August 12th, with the peakoccurring on August 8th, right?
So 8, 8, no period is marked.
That's right.
This period is marked byincreased cosmic energy, making
an optimal time for settingintentions, meditating and

(47:15):
focusing on personal goals.
The number eight in numerologysymbolizes infinity and
empowerment, enhancing themanifestation process during
this time, all right.
So it was like manifestation onsteroids, y'all like Get out
