In this episode of The Sophisticatedly Ratchet Podcast, the Tribe takes it all the way back to the days of puppy love — those first crushes, awkward love letters, and playground heartbreaks that felt like the end of the world. Inspired by the viral James Tucker “Done with Bianca” video (our lil man had us ALL in our feelings), we’re asking the real question: were those childhood crushes actually valid, or were we just wildin’?

From Disney movies teaching us fairytales to parents teaching us reality, we unpack how our earliest lessons in love shaped the way we view relationships today. We’re diving into:

💘 Confessing childhood crushes & the silly tactics we used to get noticed

💘 Who taught us what love should look like — Disney movies vs. our parents

💘 Flash’s hilarious story about how his grandma schooled him on love early on

💘 When love stopped feeling innocent and the moment reality hit

💘 How childhood love languages and first heartbreaks still shape us today

And of course, in our No Bad Days segment, each Tribe member shares one piece of advice they wish they could’ve told their younger self about love. Spoiler: grown-up us had some things to get off our chest.

It’s real, it’s nostalgic, and it’s hilarious — It’s Time to Get Ratchet, The Sophisticated Way!
