Our fingers are always on the pulse of Black culture and current events, exploring them through our unique lenses to bring you conversations that are as enlightening as they are entertaining. Our mission for each episode is simple, yet profound - to Educate, Entertain and Inform. We delve into topics with authenticity, intellect, and wit, aiming to spark conversations that inspire thought and provoke dialogue.

Too Loyal: Loyalty Part 2 (see what we did there?)
Wednesday Jul 27, 2022
Wednesday Jul 27, 2022
Salutation, SR Tribe! Welcome and thank you for coming back for another hearty serving of The Sophisticatedly Ratchet Podcast, giving the real in a world of fake.
In general Loyalty is a devotion and faithfulness to a nation, cause, philosophy, country, group, or person. But can you be too loyal? There is also such a thing as overvaluing loyalty or being blindly loyal, and that's typically bad. Both research and real-life have shown that overly loyal people are more likely to participate in unethical acts to keep their jobs and be exploited by their organizations.
It was so much fun, we had to do it twice! In today’s episode, Sly Boogie leads the team in moderation as we dive deeper into the concept of loyalty. Can you be a loyal liar? Can good sex make you loyal? What are signs that your partner is loyal? And SPEWgod “Drip Drip” shares his ratchet thought- “it’s easier for a woman to forgive a man versus a man forgiving a woman for cheating”. We all have various things we swear allegiances to, and many of them come with dealbreakers. Let's talk this out, pull out a chair, tune in and let's discuss "Too Loyal: Loyalty Part 2”
Shakes Word of the Week: Absquatulate - Verb- Leave abruptly

Loyalty....Loyalty....Loyalty.....
Wednesday Jul 20, 2022
Wednesday Jul 20, 2022
Salutation, SR Tribe! Welcome and thank you for coming back for another hearty serving of The Sophisticatedly Ratchet Podcast, giving the real in a world of fake.
Loyalty, in general use, is a devotion and faithfulness to a nation, cause, philosophy, country, group, or person. Most people disagree on what can be an object of loyalty, as some argue that loyalty is strictly interpersonal and only another human being can be the object of loyalty.
In today’s episode, Shake lead the team in moderation as we unpack the concept of loyalty. What are somethings you are loyal too? What are you no longer loyal to? What can that person or thing do to lose your loyalty? We all have various things we swear allegiances too and many of them come with dealbreakers.
From the words of American rapper, songwriter, record producer, and Pulitzer Prize winner Kendrick Lamar, “t's a secret society. All we ask is trust. All we got is us”. Let's talk this out, pull a chair, tune in and lets discuss "Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty!!!”
Shakes Word of the Week: Palpable - adjective: 1- (of a feeling or atmosphere) so intense as to seem almost tangible. 2- able to be touched or felt. "the palpable bump at the bridge of the nose"
