Respect The Pour: Money, Boundaries, And Character

Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report ·

2026/02/19

Send a text 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 track a debt. We break down Airbnb splits, league fees, group trips, and the grown-friend code: clear te...

When Friendship Means Saying The Hard Thing

Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report ·

2026/02/18

Send a text 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 you in private but defend you in public. I get into detour shaming, performative friendships, and the m...

Your Ex Says They’ve Grown; So Has Your Block Button

Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report ·

2026/02/16

Send a text 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 walk you through the real-life rerun: the same venue, the smooth playlist, the promises of growth and the...

February 15 Will Tell You Everything the 14th Lied About

Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report ·

2026/02/15

Send a text 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. This episode starts with a playful Love Is Blind wager and quickly turns into a real conversation ab...

Love Without A Deadline

Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report ·

2026/02/13

Send a text 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 heart by flowers before noon and a post by midnight. We start with the messy history of Saint Valenti...

Partial PTO: A Quick Check-In

Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report ·

2026/02/11

Send a text 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 chasing algorithms, especially when platforms get quiet after real conversations. Sometimes progress l...

Stop Buying Your Way Out Of Feelings

Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report ·

2026/02/09

Send us a text 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 quietly become emotional dodgeballs when feelings feel unsafe. We break down the whole “gifts as a lo...

I Said What I Said—Now I’m “Difficult”

Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report ·

2026/02/08

Send us a text 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 about me—how being direct, organized, and honest gets misread when you don’t perform softness for the...

Friends, Money, And The Fine Print

Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report ·

2026/02/06

Send us a text 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. We explore why friendship often teaches us to smooth things over while business requires us to defi...

Black History, Immigration, And The Blur Of Power

Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report ·

2026/02/04

Send us a text 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 enforcement today feels more discretionary than ever. Speaking from a Black New York perspective—rooted...

A Disclaimer Before Episode 54

Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report ·

2026/02/03

Send us a text 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, and rooted in community, not conflict. Tomorrow’s episode drops during Black History Month, and it’s ...

Tip Fatigue, Plain And Simple

Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report ·

2026/02/02

Send us a text 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, suggested tip percentages, and pre-tipping flip accountability on its head while service quality k...

FaceTime Isn’t A Hello, It’s A Doorbell

Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report ·

2026/02/01

Send us a text 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’s not. Guest host Barbie from the Leventy Touch podcast steps in to unpack texting vs. calling, why...

Call Your Mother

Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report ·

2026/01/30

Send us a text One phone call can reset a whole day—ten seconds, real love, no script. This episode opens with a live check-in that proves presence still works, then digs into the invisible work mothers carry every single day. From the grit of a teen mom figuring it out in public to the quiet mastery of knowing when to call in backup, this pour is about leverage, prevention, and the steady hands that keep a home from rattling. We talk about the roles that rarely get applause—planner, protecto...

The Real Price Of Going Viral: Ownership, Control,...

Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report ·

2026/01/28

Send us a text In this episode of Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report, Styles breaks down how platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube turned visibility into a pay-to-play system — and what creators quietly give up in the process. From content ownership and algorithm “learning phases” to boosted posts that don’t convert into real community, this conversation challenges the idea that more reach automatically means more value. With sarcasm, real-life brunch scenarios, and straight talk about ...

The Uptown Renaissance

Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report ·

2026/01/26

Send us a text Comebacks always look cinematic after the credits roll. What you don’t see is the quiet grind—the pauses, the restraint, the moments where you decide depth matters more than noise. In the final chapter of The Uptown Renaissance, we sit with Jelani as he talks about evolving from creating to be seen to creating with purpose, context, and backbone. Fatherhood slowed the pace, responsibility tightened the craft, and memory stopped being baggage and started becoming source material...

The Work Is Heavy—The Thanks Is Real

Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report ·

2026/01/19

Send us a text Yo—if you’re listening to this on your way to work, at the gym, or scrubbing a pan at midnight, this episode is for you. The glow of starting fades quick when the work asks for more than you planned—more nights, more focus, more heart. Forty-nine episodes in, we’re way past hype and deep into that discipline that doesn’t care about your snooze button. This one is a real thank-you to the people who make that grind worth it—and a look at how the show is growing without losing its...

Raising Kings in the middle of Real Life

Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report ·

2026/01/18

Send us a text The moment responsibility knocks, your reflection changes. Jelani steps into fatherhood with open eyes and an honest heart, trading the myth of readiness for the practice of consistency. We talk about what it takes to raise boys into kings while refining the man they’re studying—in the kitchen, on the commute, and in every small choice that becomes a standard. The core idea is simple and demanding: kids mirror what you model, not what you say, and that mirror reveals where you ...

Consistency Is The Real Love Language

Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report ·

2026/01/16

Send us a text What if the sexiest thing you can do is show up—on purpose—again and again? In this episode, Styles dead the fairy tale that love clocks out after the “I do” and gets real about how sparks are built on habits, not fireworks. No capes, no flash mobs—just grooming as respect, tiny rituals as romance, and curiosity that doesn’t get lazy. Styles talks about how effort doesn’t disappear overnight—it ghosts you one skipped moment at a time. From autopilot energy to “I’ll get to it la...

Work = Scam Likely

Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report ·

2026/01/14

Send us a text What if comfort is the real flex—and the grind has been oversold? Everybody keeps selling you this finish-line fantasy: work yourself into the ground now so maybe, one day, you’ll have the energy to enjoy life later. That math is disrespectful. We’re flipping that whole idea. This episode is about building options, breathing room, and money that grows while you still got knees that work and a mind that’s sharp. Not fame. Not burnout. Comfort—with strategy. We break down why mod...
