Sophia:I like your ears, I like yours too.
Nele:Thank you All right. So y'all, we are cat ladies for Kamala. This is what we're doing. All right, ladies with cats and we're ladies with cats. Okay, now I'm a childless, very single, very single lady with a cat, and Soph is Lady with a cat, and Soph is married with two kids.
Sophia:But I also have a cat A little chunky. I don't know what they call them. It's like an American, something I don't know Tabby.
Nele:Is that a cat? Well, shout outs to Nugget. You know we're here representing Because JD Vance doesn't want that and my boy, my first son, is going to make an appearance.
Sophia:Say hi boy, hey Enzi, can you say his full name for us please, janelle.
Nele:It's Enzi Malik T'Challa Green. Oh, you know, his slave name was Tony when I adopted him. No black cat of mine in America is not going to have an ethnic name, we're just nugget plain nugget. I called you for that.
Sophia: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 been deliverance. All of a sudden that's their free kitten. He's like I'm going to check it out.
Nele:Oh yeah, so y'all, we're going to get into some normal-ish, but it's not so normal-ish, All right.
Sophia:Can you talk about it first? On the Olympics.
Nele:All right, I'm going to scroll down to that, all right. All right, I'm going to scroll down to that, all right, all right. So let's talk about not ish, but phenomenal ish. Ok, because that's what we were doing. All right, look, we are rooting for everybody black. Ok, everybody when you come from, everybody black we are rooting for, for. Okay, so so much black excellence. That has happened. All right, first of all your girl, simone biles. Can we just give it up for her to go.
Nele:she's so dope, so now she's like the most decorated gymnast of all time Just the goat.
Sophia:Did y'all see the podium of the?
Nele: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:Yeah, awesome medals and, um, that's like history making as well. Yeah, that's awesome in the olympics. First of all, I think it's like the most when it comes to gender parity. It's like a record. I think 48 were women. We just see, like just that's amazing across all countries.
Nele:Yes, so we also have, like our caribbean peeps representing. We had julian, alfred and thea lanford yes, I know what.
Sophia:St lucia in the house yes, no, no alliance man in the world. Is that what they're calling it?
Sophia:Yeah, I believe, so I saw that race. It was really exciting to see. Yes, I thought the Jamaican had it, but I might just be biased 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 for it. So that was pretty amazing to see and go for it. So that was that was pretty amazing to see. And we're volleyball parents too, 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:We're even like doing it in fencing, okay. So shout outs to all the people in the diaspora doing it.
Sophia:Setting records, making records, breaking records all of that Whatever we do, we do it well we do it exceptionally well, and I have to shout out Haiti. I know they didn't really want anything but Sac passe, sac passe, sac passe. We sent five Olympians right and I think that might have been a record for us, so, um, I was really glad to see them, uh. So, yeah, it's pretty cool. Okay, all right, dope.
Nele:So start off on a positive note before we get into it, because that was actually towards the end. I was like. You know joy and pain. You know sunshine and rain.
Nele:You know joy and pain, you know sunshine and rain, you know. But, um, all right y'all. So, of course, in the land of politics, um, it has been a lot going on, right, so we're just going to talk about a few of these things and just go from there. So, july 30th, kamala had a rally in Atlanta where Meg the Stallion performed and Quavo from the Migos spoke, and Megan has coined the term hotties for Harris, and I am here for it. I love that. However, it was quite a little bit controversial because there was some twerkage that was happening. Was it Kamala? No, I'd definitely vote for her then because I can't twerk, but I guess they just felt that it was inappropriate and I do feel at times the audience wasn't really into it. It was a little little parts.
Nele:a little dry the response, but I think meg tried to keep it cute in presidential-ish. She wore a little suit but it was cropped so no parts were hanging out, no nip slips. It was a classy twerk. What do you think I?
Sophia:think there's a time and place for everything. When the future? Madam President, which one is Quavo? Is Quavo the one who's cheating on Cardi B?
Nele:No, that's Offset. His nickname is Off to Cheat, Off to Cheat. I was going to include that situation in normal-ish but I was like I don't care, They'll be back together. No one's going to buy your album because you've threatened for the 16th time to leave this man who constantly cheats on you. You sabotage your own career by you keep getting pregnant Girl. Anyway, continue. Yeah, sabotage your own career by you keep getting pregnant girl.
Sophia:Anyway, continue, yeah, um, but a bit more. When it comes to stuff like that, I think I'm a bit more conservative, like I. Just, if I went there to see her speak, I wouldn't want to see. Uh, there's a time and place for that. If I want that, I could go somewhere else. I don't know if she's trying to show that she's cool, which we know you are, you know.
Nele:Yeah, I guess it's her way of trying to connect.
Sophia:There are ways to connect and I feel like you don't need to go like at some weird, like that's the basic level. There are other ways you connect with your audience or who she's trying to connect with, by having Megan and Quavo, or if you have a mix of people like I, just don't to me. That wouldn't speak to me. I would have cringed.
Nele: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 to losing someone to gun violence. So that's why I don't understand what she was trying to do, because Megan got shot in the foot.
Sophia:Is that and Megan got shot in the foot?
Nele:I don't understand oh, I didn't even make that connection about shot in the foot and gun violence. I didn't even make that connection. I just thought, yeah, I do think that, like, particularly the African-American culture were more than just twerking and to be like, hey, let me connect with the Black folks with twerking girl.
Sophia:I didn't expect Trump to do that. To be honest with you, yeah that just that did not feel. It felt disingenuine, like I just.
Nele:I get it. I get it. I have mixed feelings about it.
Sophia:I remember when Megan was on SNL and it was a time when it was another one of us who got shot by the police and she was, and it was like protect Black women. She's on the stage and she's like twerking to her music and I'm like to me that just felt all sorts of wrong.
Nele:Yeah, it's just some things. Most things don't require a twerk.
Sophia:No, not at all, there's a time for twerking.
Nele:Yeah, I remember when the riots not the riots, but the protests were happening and there were Black women twerking on police cars. No, no, no, we're not going to go there. You're not going to talk. I love my people, but sometimes the judgment Are you serious? I'm flagged by my cheeks for justice? Just whew, oh my God, okay, mind frame All judgment. Are you serious like I'm flagged by my cheeks for justice? Just, oh, my god, okay, mind frame, all right we're gonna, we're gonna move on, um.
Nele:But during this time, you know, kamala was like pull up, okay, like trump has backed out of the debate with uh, kamala, um. And then he said he would only agree to it if it's done on fox. Now my thing is, it's already agreed to that. You were going to do it in abc and when you were dealing with with biden, you were ready for the smoke, because you can continue to lie and not make sense, and he's mumbling, can barely whisper. And then, of course, you're going to be the winner by default. But kamala can form sentences, kamala's intelligent, and so you will pale in comparison. And so now you want to go to fox, where you know they're not going to fact check you or anything like that.
Nele:I don't understand. Just because you go to fox, we're still going to see the same cameras, like we're still going to see what. I don't know how that's going to change anything. Is AI going to change the words coming out of his mouth?
Sophia: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 you know what? Nothing would surprise me anymore with what's happening.
Nele:It wouldn't, it wouldn't, it wouldn't. There's a reason why he wants it to be on fox, um, when he originally agreed for it to be on abc.
Sophia:Yeah and do you see how they're like, the way they're attacking her? It's like, no, it's like she's a slut, she's the hot tour hot tour girl. So disgusted I'm. Like there's nothing beneath these people. They are so gross.
Nele: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 never heard Hillary Clinton being sexualized in this way. But even look at Michelle Obama and now look at what's happening with Kamala. To be an attractive, intelligent black woman, to get to a certain place where you are, you have to have slept with someone and you know what so what but so so what what?
Sophia:if she did. I don't like, I don't buy into that like maybe she did, maybe she did. But I'm just tired of this narrative that if you're a woman, especially if you're a black woman, that means you did not get anything on your own. Someone handed it to you. Or you're like oh, a DEI hire you know. Like it's like, you can't, they can't, they don't believe that you could do anything on your own. You're not, you're not smart enough. And when you look at I mean I was in recruiting Right, and I see the resumes that come through A lot of times when we're hiring for these, like director or above positions, every Black woman's resume that came through for those positions, like they were, they were degreed like to the T, they had all these extra things just to make themselves stand out, whereas someone else would be like, well, I did this and that and I got a, you know, and I got a bachelor's.
Sophia:Not saying there's anything wrong with the bachelor's, that's, that's all I have and I would not go any higher. A lot of them that came through when they were already in these leadership positions and they're trying to get to the next level. Their resume was pimped out, just impressive, and they feel the need to get all these extra things, and even then they still question whether or not you're smart enough to do this job, and that's what they're doing with her. So that's why I hear that they say stuff like that yeah, and look at freaking melania trump. She was, I mean she's not. I mean she's not going for the presidency, but she's. They idolize her right like she's the. She was. She didn't. She pose and play boy. She posed nude for a french magazine.
Nele:Like yes, so you need to tell me that the first ladies labia, has been seen by the masses.
Sophia:I don't know if down there was seen, but definitely up here um, nipples, nipples, um. She also married him when she was like 35. She met him at 28, married at 35 and usually and he was about 59 when they got married, and usually when people, there are speculations, right, not saying that, not saying it wasn't love, but we don't speculate about that at all there was that New York?
Sophia:Times article where apparently he 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 in a two piece so that these other men could see what they're missing out. And it's like, I think, trump, that seems like his style, right? So there are different standards. Definitely, you know, like she is idolized, she's held up at this as this.
Nele:I don't know like an.
Sophia:American more than michelle obama, who was born in the us.
Nele:But then they want to go after kamala, like this is the party of hypocrisy, like it's like and then, of course, it is either a black woman, either your mammy or your jezebel, and it's just like it's not fair that we get boxed in. But, like I, have a very different thought process on it. Again, all other people use what they can, and Alicia's using it to further herself, to hopefully lead us out of this hot mess, okay. So if she had sleep with a couple of people to get to the top, I don't care, I really don't care, I don't care, I really don't care, I don't care.
Sophia:And how's that different than when you hear, I mean, it is different, it is different. But then there are these men who are unqualified to do what they do. They go to the same golf club. Their kids go to the same private school, so they meet and they make these back alley deals and then you like, then you have people in the C-suite who like they have no idea what they're doing, but they know the right people.
Sophia:Yes, you know, if she did what she did, which I know she didn't well, you know what? I don't know her, but she's qualified.
Nele:I don't think she did you. You can't sleep your way to get a law degree. You can't keep your way to pass the bar. Maybe you slept your way to have access to certain things. But even if someone helps you get your foot in the door. I know for us, even if someone helps you get your foot in the door, you have some qualifications. You're not totally, just, you know, unqualified. Someone helped you get there, you know. So I don't. I think it's disrespectful to talk about someone who could possibly be the future president of the United States that way. I believe so, but I don't. If she slept her way to the top and you become the first Blackish president of the United States, yeah, that's a write-off.
Sophia:She's not black, though, so that's the narrative. Like I've never, we're not even going to go into that Girl we got some things to get to, okay.
Nele: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 yet, so it'll be interesting to see how things progress as she's campaigning more. I do know the cat ladies are raising money. I forgot her name on Instagram. She has a cat nutmeg. She's hilarious, and I was trying to find the call, the Zoom call for cat ladies for Kamala, but they raised $320,000 for Kamala, nice, yeah, so the cat ladies are doing that. Maybe because we have disposable income, because we don't have kids, Maybe I don't know.
Sophia:Yeah, no club dues. Yeah, trump attended the NABJ conference.
Nele:It was an unprecedented move and during his speech he highlighted his administration's effort to support Black communities, citing initiatives like criminal justice reform and economic policies aimed at increasing employment and opportunities for minority. But he also faced some tough questions from the journalist right, and they challenged his previous comments about policies that were harmful to Black Americans. Also, just how he's insulted other journalists as well, insulted other journalists as well and, by the way, people that particularly Black people that are talking about Trump or whatever. Do you remember Central Park Five, the Central Park?
Sophia:Five and what he put in the newspaper.
Nele:So how can you want to have someone in office that does not care about you? It just boggles my mind, but anyway he also got, I gotta ask.
Sophia:He also got sued a few times for discrimination and was accused of hiding his black casino workers I didn't know that yeah, wow, there are. There are a lot of things that he's done that shows what he thinks of women, of Black people. He ran ads against Native American casinos, saying they were shady.
Nele:That's crazy.
Sophia:Yeah.
Nele:And apparently during this interview, he's authority in Blackness, because with Kamala he's like is she black, is she white? Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what he was doing. Okay, one day she's black, next day she's Indian. I don't know what the difference like really, really Trump, but he talked like that.
Sophia:Huh, that would have been hilarious, but he talked like that. Huh, that would be hilarious if he talked like that that was my trump impersonation.
Nele:I need to work on it. I need to work on it. Then they asked like they asked to describe um. He said she was a DEI hire. So then one of the journalists had asked for him to describe what DEI is and he really didn't give an explanation. One of the first journalists that had asked some questions about some disparaging remarks he made. He didn't really even answer the question because he said that she was asking it pretty rudely. Yes, ma'am, what a joke.
Nele:Now there was a little bit of scrutiny about the three reporters that were. The journalists that were up there First. I wonder why there were three of them. I thought that was a bit much. The journalists that were up there First. I wonder why there were three of them. I thought that was a bit much and, I hate to say it, trump was a little bit right about the woman being a little bit rude. I'm not going to lie. Like normally you welcome someone, you say hey, and then you call a ball quest a little bit and then you hit them with the heat. No, that's not. She was just guns blazing, you know.
Sophia:So she could have that's what you got to do with trump, though, because if you show him that you're soft, he comes at you.
Nele:So you gotta you gotta meet him where he's at right, he's a narcissist, sis, you gotta you gotta massage the ego. You gotta make them seem that they're important and what they really are, and then you hit them when the guards are down. That's a good point. Yeah, they didn't know how to appeal to his ego. Yeah, I think they would have gotten more actually out of him, and so now he's going to be on the defense, right, yes, but yeah, that was a hot mess.
Sophia:Did they reach out to him or did he? Because there was that controversy because they turned down Kamala because she couldn't do it live, and then they tried to back pedal all of that. It was just.
Nele:I don't know. I think he reached out to them. I think I don't know. Don't quote me on that, but I will. I think he reached out to them, I think I don't know. Don't quote me on that, but I will provide a quote from Trump, because he's done so much for Black people. He said that he has done more for Black Americans than any president since Abraham Lincoln. I wish I was making this up. I wish I was making this up, okay he lists out what he's worth exactly.
Sophia:No, he just said he's done what he's done for anyone that wasn't like rich or in his like bracket.
Nele:I don't know what he's done honestly, but just appoint bracket Like what has what. Really I don't know what he's done honestly, but just appoint Supreme people in the Supreme court.
Sophia:That would overturn.
Nele: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's what Republicans?
Sophia:if they want shit done, they will get it done.
Nele:They will get it done and that's why I need the Dems to like have it here in a thug roll up pull up.
Sophia:I mean Democrats have those types of people, but then who are the leaders? Like Pelosi was. I mean I've talked about her all. She was like one foot off the door, yeah, yeah, whatever. I know the younger ones. If they have whatever, but they need to, they need to show some some more, some more initiative.
Nele: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 of Trump. I'm just I get it, but at the same time, what is the alternative? We can't do four more years of Trump. I'm just anti-Project 2025. That's where I'm at, and I need a president that is intelligent and that can formulate sentences.
Sophia:Who's not going to go on the attack, who's not trying to be a dictator? Yes, apparently, americans don't mind a dictator, as long as it's someone like Trump, right? Yes, but for people who we don't look like Trump, we don't want him being our dictator no.
Nele:But yeah, that's it for Normal-ish. The main topic. We're talking about the freaks of the week Republicans. Okay Now, freaks of the week Republicans? Okay, no-transcript, but Republicans are the biggest hypocrites. Okay, like, how are you gonna go around talking about all this stuff? And there's rumors about you having sex with the love seat. Okay, now, it wasn't true. So they say. But I mean just, republic Republicans have a history of engaging in behaviors that don't mirror the policies that they're fighting against, right, and so you have these Republicans that are on the download. Shout outs to the RNC Right, remember, with Grindr notifications, we're like, I forgot the noise for the. Is that the, the grinder notification?
Sophia:I don't know.
Nele:I need to consult with my gay husband Javi. I should know the grinder noise. I should know it. Why are you putting his business out here? No, not saying I just have to consult 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:So um, can we do a side note? So apparently, um, there's a section in one of these apps is it bumble, like one of these dating apps, where it's just for friendship, el, bumbleumble, bumble, bff. I kind of, because I'm new to Atlanta and I want to make some new friends that I can once in a while, we can go out at like five and I can be home by nine. No, no, no girls, no, is it like undercover? They trying?
Nele:to. I heard that it's a lot of weirdos in a bad way.
Sophia:Yeah.
Nele:I thought about Bumble BFF Actually, but well, I mean, don't take my word on it. I think you'd do a better job at like a meetup or something like that.
Sophia:Because someone I know ran into some like they were at an event, and then there were these two girls there and you know they were supporting. It was for something, it was like a club or something, and it came up on how they you know like, how long had they been friends? Like, oh, we've only been friends for two years. You know, I'm in the city and I met them through this, so I was considering it, but I'm like I don't, I don't know, maybe I will do a meetup.
Nele: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 and let us know how it is. Maybe I will.
Nele:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, do it, do it, do it okay so we were talking about the republicans in their freaky, deaky ways, okay, so it was. The grinder was grinding, okay, during the rnc. Okay, and these are the people that are supposed to be like all family values and all this other stuff and making sure to, like, put in laws in place that affect the lgbtqia community, you know, but at the same time, you freaking tapping under under the stalls right, it wasn't the, I forgot the name of the politician where he was in the stalls and he tapped his foot two times and that was the signal.
Sophia:Oh, who was that politician? There were so many of them. Yes, that was doing that, was it? It was Larry Craig, a Republican United States Senator from Idaho, arrested for lewd conduct in men's restroom at the Minneapolis St Paul International Airport and ended his career. I got a couple of more. Once you're done, we can leave them.
Nele:But the thing is right. Republicans like to pretend like they don't like to get it in. Ok, they like to pretend like they do and all I don't know. I don't understand how being conservative means that you don't want to get it on, and now you're just trying to make it harder for everybody to get it on. Yeah Right, y'all are repressed, y'all are depressed, and you want the rest of us to suffer.
Sophia:They're all depressed and a lot of this. They're tying it to Christian values, right, like family value to man and a woman, and nothing else. We don't talk about divorce. Divorce should be in there. Trump has been married and divorced how many times? Five or four More times than we could count Five times yeah.
Sophia:His son is divorced and about to marry someone. It's just all of these things, right, and we talk about single women. What about the single men? Lindsey Graham is out here defending JD Vance when this man has never been married, doesn't have any kids there are speculations about maybe he's asexual, but there's a lot of closeted comments about a lot of these Republicans. Tim Scott, who took a girlfriend out of thin air and be like hey, there's my girlfriend.
Nele:Family values- I hope she's getting paid a nice hefty fund for for getting her just got married because I'm sure the republicans were like yo.
Sophia:You people speculate. But why did he have to get married, lindsey? No one's well, I guess he was trying 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 they don't, they don't follow any of that and I'm gonna, if you have, I'm gonna let you continue. Then we're gonna go through these, uh, these scandals no girl, you can go ahead.
Nele:But just kind of, just when you talk about men that are childless as well, right, we've had five childless presidents before. George Washington, yes, had no kids. Had no kids, did he? He wasn't invested in the United States, mm-hmm. You know who had kids, mussolini? You know who had kids Stalin?
Sophia:Yeah.
Nele:Okay, like just assigning morality to what you do in the bedroom or your reproductive, how you choose to use your reproductive organs, is just it's wild to me, honestly, yeah wild to me honestly.
Sophia:Yeah, and some of them may not, maybe they don't believe in this, but hey, that's what 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're repressed. They used to have a page program that was like for high school students to work, you know, in Congress, and they I mean they shut it down for financial reasons. But in its past there have been some. There have been some of these senators, congressmen, republicans, sleeping with the, sleeping with these pages, and they're I think so, they're they. They're around 16, so I guess 16 is the age of consent in dc.
Nele: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 years old.
Sophia:They're fighting for our children, but they're trying to lower the age of consent't think that makes sense. Like the hypocrisy.
Nele:Perverts Believe Perverts. You just put your perversions in legislation. You're awful people.
Sophia:Right, it's just. I think suppressing things just does something to your soul, right.
Nele:Yes.
Sophia: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 wrong and it's just. I don't know how you, I don't know how you fight for things that are against what you want and what you want. You know what I mean. Like, how, like, how does, how does being gay? Like I don't care.
Nele:I think we should have like a freak nick for Republicans.
Sophia:They probably have it on their own.
Nele: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:It's the RNC. That's their stuff.
Nele:But tell us about these freaky Republicans though.
Sophia:Yeah, so we already talked about Larry Craig, so let's see we have a few of them All Republicans, by the way, wesley Goodman, a former state rep, a vocal advocate for family values and traditional marriage. In 2017, he resigned after it was revealed he had engaged in sexual activities with men, including in his state office.
Nele:Oh, office sex, that's spicy. Don't let the stapler get you in a place that you can't get it out of.
Sophia: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 a phone service to solicit sex with men, leading to his withdrawal from reelection. Ralph Shorty, Oklahoma he's like super conservative Oklahoma. He campaigned on traditional family values. In 2007, he was found with a teenage boy in a motel room and was later charged with child sex trafficking, despite consistently voting for anti-LGBTQ legislation.
Sophia:Wow yeah, it was just such a disconnect. Let's see the Mark Foley scandal, which broke in late September 2006,. Centers on soliciting emails and sexually suggestive instant messages sent by Mark Foley, a Republican congressman from Florida, to teenage boys who had formerly served as congressional pages. Congressman from Florida to teenage boys who had formerly served as congressional pages. And speaking of Florida, let's not forget Matt Gates, okay, who was being investigated for sex trafficking and having sex with a 17-year-old girl. Those were dropped because, whatever, the DOJ dropped them, 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 like showing nude pictures on the on the floor okay, this is not even freaky like I was joking about.
Nele:This is just like perversion. At this rate, it's perversion and you notice again, like the trend, it's men that are closeted that deal with men that are underage suppress who you are is going to come out in ways you don't want.
Sophia:Right, when we think about priests and what happens with young men and these priests, right, and these Catholic churches and these lawsuits that they've had to settle, it's telling us something right, like it's telling you to not hide who you are, because then you end 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 you know is wrong. When I say is wrong, you're you're targeting young people who you think you could control and you think it won't come out dealing with adults who might have the same feelings and it would be. It's mutual um so.
Nele:But you notice right I just my mind was melding right talking about control. Like the same way that they want to engage in activities with people they control, they also want to put in legislation to control women, to control people as well. They want to remove the power so that we're weak and that we don't have choices. They want to remove the power so that we're weak and that we don't have choices. And so when you get with these young men or you know young women, young men, whatever, like you get with people that you can lord over, that you know that they have less agency than you do because you're the one that's in power, and that translates into other areas of their life. You know our lives. It affects us, it makes us powerless. Just go ahead and just get on the grinder. You don't have to have secret sex. You can go ahead and have just anonymous sex With whoever there's people. You can pay for this. Have people sign NDAs. I mean there's so many other ways instead of like getting with children.
Sophia: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 I would love to know what goes on through their head as they're passing these laws or trying to draft these laws, knowing they have daughters. But you know what? A lot of them have money, they're close to power, so a lot of what they write for the regular people they could Doesn't affect them. Yeah, like they could circumvent that right. Imagine if one of these Republicans 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, it could be rape, we don't care, you're having that baby. If that happens to them, they're not. Their kid is not having that baby, definitely not. They have the means, like they have the means to take care of it. We don't.
Sophia:Yeah't, it's lost for us, but not lost for them, and that's how it's always, always been.
Nele: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 there bondage? What was going on? And you know what? I think? I think that the black Republicans and the white Republicans that get together definitely engage in race play. Okay, you can't tell me there's no antebellum role play going on. Okay, it's happening.
Nele:It's happening. I see it, I want to know all of that. Okay, the juicy details. Okay, y'all are repressed and you're taking it out on the rest of us.
Sophia:I want to have like parties a la Diddy they definitely do.
Nele:I believe they do For sure. Oh my God.
Sophia:They don't invite all the women folks stay home, it's just the men.
Nele:Yeah, it's just, the men Import women from wherever. But I was. I don't know what prompted me to do this. I was like, let me see if there are any like fine Republicans, like anyans. That would make me drop my draws. Absolutely not, absolutely not. There is nobody that I would want to have sex with. That's a republican. They tried. The article was like oh, the sexiest, the sexiest, the sexiest politicians no child.
Sophia:You know what? I think? Jd Vance is trying to win that because 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 guy liner OK, and I hear there's a rumor that DeSantos wears heels to appear. Peter Taller.
Nele:These are the men making our rules. Okay, don't, nobody want to do JD Vance, except his wife. And even then, I'm not even sure if she.
Sophia:You hear me. And the couches, oh the couches. Well, they said that was a rumor.
Nele:Well, they said it was a latex glove that was stuck between.
Sophia:They said it was a rumor. But somebody was like if you need to write an article to refute the fact that you had sex with a couch, you've already lost.
Nele:That should never even come up. How does it even generate?
Sophia:I think there's a modicum of truth to it somehow. I love that we're making up stories about them. If you're gonna make up stories about people talking about kamala slept her way to the top, we should be able to say you had sex with a couch, yes, okay fair point.
Nele:Yes, totally agree. I wonder what kind of couch it was whoever sat there made this up, man.
Sophia: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:Yes, do you know something called CatCon? Really? Yes, catcon.
Sophia:Do they take their cats in like the little cat buggies?
Nele:Probably. I think so. Like I mean, you know, I love my boy and all, but how much is there to really talk about? Like, oh yeah, he only coughed up two hairballs. I mean, like, what do we?
Sophia:there was a cat cafe, I remember hearing. But you could take your cat, I've been to cat cafe.
Nele:Oh, have you with yes, uh, no, this is. Was this before mz? I'm not sure. But uh, in korea I went to a cat cafe. It was pretty dope. Um, you greet it, you come in, there's little cats sitting there. Whatever, I had my little green tea. One cat was trying to get in my purse but there was this guy that, like, came in and he was just very like stoic and cool. He had his glasses on, he was real 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 all up and through. He was just sitting there, really stoic with his cover.
Nele:And the cats were just like flocking to him. He was like the Michael Jackson. You know, michael Jackson, when people faint, all the cats were coming to him. I was like dang. He had the socks. But there is a Cat Cafe downtown Brooklyn which I found by accident.
Sophia:Of course there is.
Nele:On Montague Street. I'm going to check it out.
Sophia:Okay.
Nele:Yeah, but yeah. Republicans are freaks.
Sophia:I'm a freak, yeah, I'm on the down low, but, yeah, republicans are freaks. Freak, yeah, freak.
Nele:Freak, freak, freak. Are you okay, girl?
Sophia:Yes, you better start your music career.
Nele:Look okay, or revive it you know cause?
Sophia:we know you did a little Well.
Nele:You know, bumblebee, he, bumblebee, he, that's his little taste. Y'all an ass word. Just give you a little taste. Sounds good, though, but we suggest that they just go ahead, get it all out your system and leave us the hell alone. Okay.
Sophia:For real. Find love, just find love. Love yourself, love yourself, love yourself and love people. Yes, right, god said love thy neighbor. Like there are all these like Christian radicals, like love thy neighbor, ain're all these like christian radicals. Like love thy neighbor, ain't nobody loving nobody absolutely not when it comes to republicans.
Nele:They don't love the mexican neighbors no, they don't love, uh, black neighbors, childless neighbors, neighbors that own felines they don't love anybody. They don't that own felines, they don't love anybody, they don't. All right y'all. So now it's time for Shady Astrology. Yeah, last time I got in Leo's ass to aligns. It was unfair, it wasn't that bad. Just say all good things about Leo's because you aligns. It was unfair, it wasn't that bad.
Sophia:Just say all good things about Leo's, because we're, you know, we're the best.
Nele:Y'all lying, but it's still Leo season. But there's something important that's happening and it's called the Lionsgate Portal. It's a powerful astrological event occurring annually, peaking on August 8th, so 8-8.
Nele:Remember that the day before my birthday. 8 is important, right? So it's characterized by the alignment of the sun in Leo, the star in Sirius, orion's belt and the earth. This alignment is believed to create an energetic gateway offering opportunities for spiritual growth, heightened intuition and manifestation of desires. So, y'all, you want to manifest, you want a new life, you want to do certain things. Now is the time to get it in there. So this portal opens around July 28th and closes around August 12th, with the peak occurring on August 8th, right? So 8, 8, no period is marked.
Nele:That's right. This period is marked by increased cosmic energy, making an optimal time for setting intentions, meditating and focusing on personal goals. The number eight in numerology symbolizes infinity and empowerment, enhancing the manifestation process during this time, all right. So it was like manifestation on steroids, y'all like Get out there, all right. So, to harness the energy of the Lionsgate portal, it is recommended to engage in practices such as meditation, visualization and setting clear intentions. All right, I want a yacht, a man with a yacht. Put it out there. We need to be on a yacht.

So, utilizing crystals like citrine, which I have in my hair, citrine Right Right here, and rose quartz, which I have on, the other side. See, I didn't even know. I didn't even know. I always had these in my hair. Performing energy cleansing rituals with herbs like sage and creating a sacred space can also amplify the transformative energies of this period.
Sophia:So I'm going to get y'all. I'm mentally taking notes. And I might do a little bit of that.
