Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report

Send us Fan Mail I missed the anniversary… but never forgot the woman.  This might be the realest love letter I’ve ever said on a mic. In Episode 75 of Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report , I step away from the sarcasm just long enough to get honest about marriage, distance, sacrifice, missed moments, and what grown love actually looks like when life gets heavy. Living between New York and Dallas, ju...

Send us Fan Mail Payday hit… so why you still feel broke by Tuesday?  If your check handles everybody else but can’t protect you , we need to talk. I’m Styles, and this episode is for anybody tired of looking paid but feeling pressured. Because a direct deposit can cover bills, clear notifications, and still leave you one surprise expense away from stress. We’re breaking down real personal finance...

Send us Fan Mail You can go viral today and invisible tomorrow. That alone should tell you the game was never yours. This episode gets into the truth creators keep dancing around: too many people are stressing over an algorithm nobody controls. Styles breaks down why people are chasing approval from systems built to shift whenever they feel like it—while losing pieces of themselves trying to keep...

Send us Fan Mail They’ll hand your kid a phone before they hand them wisdom. That’s the conversation today. And yeah… we had to talk about it. Guest host Ringold from the We Need to Talk podcast steps in for Episode Legacy Over Likes —a real one about parenting in the age of algorithms, short attention spans, and everybody online acting like they got all the answers. We break down what it means to...

Send us Fan Mail You said “we outside”… but your location says “Home.” You keep planning life like it’s a group project… and nobody’s replying. Episode 71 is for everybody waiting on the “perfect moment” like it’s gonna text you first. This week on Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report, Styles pulls up on one of the most overused excuses in the game: “I’ll do it when I have the money.” Translation? You...

Send us Fan Mail You ever “bounce back”… but something in you didn’t come back the same? Yeah. Let’s talk about that. This episode of Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report features special guest host Aurora from the August After Hours podcast, and we’re not here to sugarcoat anything. This is a real conversation about resilience after a rough season—the kind nobody applauds because on the outside, you...

Send us Fan Mail Online me and real-life me? Same energy. So when I say I’m outside to work, just know—it’s not for vibes, it’s for results. What was supposed to be a clean solo trip to Minnesota for a live show and podcast collaboration turned into something completely different. This episode walks you through the uncomfortable side of building: miscommunication, shaky leadership, and that moment...

Send us Fan Mail That photo didn’t humble you… it exposed you. You thought it was angles—turns out it was habits. Welcome to Big Back Behavior… where denial gets a mirror and excuses get cardio. A single picture will tell the truth your scale’s been trying to whisper. You feel good, you’re moving like everything’s fine… and then the photos drop. No filters, no favors, no friendly angles left to ne...

Send us Fan Mail Your knees don’t need sympathy… they need a calendar invite before you sit down. Let’s talk about it. This episode of Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report is for everybody 40 and over who realized life didn’t fall apart… it just updated. New operating system. Same ambition. Less tolerance. I’m taking it back to the boroughs with a sharp, funny, and honest breakdown of what this stage...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 66 — Guest Host: Britt Renea Host & Creator of I Can Talk About This All Day Podcast IG: @icantalkaboutthisalldaypodcast Some strength doesn’t make it to Instagram—and that’s exactly what we’re talking about. This episode steps into the real, unfiltered world of a single mother raising a boy… where mornings start before the alarm, nights end after the last question, an...

Send us Fan Mail Let me talk to you for real for a second… I’m the one with the plan. The calendar. The answers. The one people call when things get shaky. But what happens when I’m the one slipping? This episode of Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report wasn’t on the schedule. It wasn’t polished. It wasn’t “safe.” It’s personal. Real personal. I’m talking about a health scare that stopped me in my trac...

Send us Fan Mail Your alarm clock got you doing algebra before you even brush your teeth. That’s not ambition — that’s burnout wearing business casual. In this episode, we unpack hustle culture, the 40-hour work week (yes, Henry Ford, we see you), and why productivity culture still runs your calendar like Wi-Fi is new. We talk real work-life balance — not the Instagram version — and how to use PTO...

Send us Fan Mail Money doesn’t ruin friendships. Poor follow-through does. This episode is for the “I’ll send it tonight” crowd, the “it’s only $20” minimizers, and the folks who think Venmo is optional but vibes are mandatory. We’re talking boundaries, borrowed money, repayment etiquette, and why the amount is irrelevant—the agreement is the headline. If you can track a DoorDash order, you can tr...

Send us Fan Mail Real loyalty isn’t loud. It doesn’t clap—it checks you. If your circle can’t tell you when you’re wilding, that’s not support… that’s spectators. In this episode, I break down the difference between loyalty and enablement, support and co-signing chaos. We talk about why forced chemistry drains trust, why showing up doesn’t always mean you’re aligned, and how real friends correct y...

Send us Fan Mail You finally glow up, get quiet, get stable… and here comes a familiar “hey stranger.” In this episode of Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report, I break down why exes resurface when your life levels up — and why nostalgia is not a sign, it’s a trigger. We separate closure from curiosity, and call out how boredom can dress up like butterflies and sell you a sequel nobody asked for. I wal...

Send us Fan Mail Roses wilt. Patterns don’t. And on Episode 60, I’m not here to romanticize a calendar date—I’m here to talk about what shows up after the balloons deflate and the captions stop performing. We pull the curtain back on Valentine’s Day and get honest about February 15 energy: the delayed replies, the “yesterday was crazy” texts, the quiet check-ins that either exist…or suddenly don’t...

Send us Fan Mail Who decided love should clock in once a year? In this pre-Valentine’s Day episode of Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report, I unpack the myth of Valentine’s Day—how a rebellious origin turned into a performance, why captions started outranking care, and what it actually takes to build a relationship that doesn’t need an audience. This is a Sip Sermon for anyone tired of measuring their...

Send us Fan Mail I hit pause on purpose—and that might be the most honest move I’ve made all week. This is a quick check-in, not a full episode: no forcing content, no faking the vibe—just tapping in to say I appreciate the early listeners, I’m protecting the message, and I’ll be back next episode with a few surprises since it is love week. We also touch on why owning your voice matters more than...

Send us Fan Mail Ever notice how some people apologize with a receipt instead of accountability? Yeah… we’re talking about that. This episode dives headfirst into the very familiar habit of buying your way out of hard conversations—flowers after the fight, trips instead of truth, takeout standing in for emotional availability. We unpack how gift-giving, acts of service, and “doing the most” can qu...

Send us Fan Mail Let me be clear—because clarity is kind of my thing. I’m a Leo by nature. I’m transparent. I say what I mean and I don’t wrap it in three layers of fluff to make it easier to digest. And for some people, that automatically translates to “mean,” “aggressive,” or “too much.” Cool. But that’s not what this is. In this episode of Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report, I’m really talking ab...

Send us Fan Mail We’ve all felt that spark: a shared idea with a close friend that sounds like destiny. The vibe is loyal, the energy is real, and momentum takes the wheel. But when trust runs on autopilot, it misses the potholes. Styles lays out a simple, memorable rule—love first, paperwork immediately after—and shows how the sweetest partnerships stay balanced when the recipe is written down. W...

Send us Fan Mail Something feels off right now. When rules stop being clear and start feeling like a mood, people notice—and that’s where this conversation begins. I start with a real moment of fear and pull the thread all the way back: how power has always been performed in this country, how conquest got dressed up as “law,” how the Constitution makes promises that don’t land evenly, and how enfo...

Send us Fan Mail This isn’t a full episode—it’s a pause before the conversation. A moment to set the table. I didn’t start this platform to chase politics, outrage, or viral chaos. But when life starts pressing in on all of us, silence stops being neutral. This brief message is about why the next episode matters, how we’re approaching it, and what kind of space we’re holding—thoughtful, honest, an...

Send us Fan Mail The mood always changes when the bill hits—and this episode stops pretending it doesn’t. Styles breaks down why tip screens, auto-gratuity, delivery app fees, and so-called “convenience” charges have people fed up with modern tipping culture. What used to be a reward for good service now feels like a mandatory surcharge, and the math never quite adds up. We unpack how hidden fees,...

Send us Fan Mail Just because you can reach me doesn’t mean you’re supposed to. This week on Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report , Styles dives into modern phone etiquette, digital boundaries, and the entitlement that came with constant access. From missed calls in the payphone era to unannounced FaceTimes and “I know you saw my call” energy, this episode breaks down when access is earned—and when it...
