Call Your Mother

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, protector, emotional thermostat—and why prevention never trends even though it’s the backbone of peace. Solo moms stretching time and money get their flowers, and we don’t pretend two-parent homes cancel the pressure. Same weight, different math.

We stir all of that into The Quiet Backbone—lychee, lemon, vodka, finished with honey or agave—balanced, intentional, never loud. There’s a playful prompt woven through the gratitude: what do you actually have your mother saved as in your phone? Mom, Ma, Mommy, an emoji, her first name? That tiny label says a lot about history, distance, and what a simple habit—calling, texting, checking in—can still heal. Give the flowers while they can be heard.

If this hits, grab the Free Pour Pack—five signature drinks, five stories with the same heartbeat—or step into Brunch Behavior: The Summer Pack for the full menu. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs the nudge to call home, and leave a review with the name you’ve saved for your mom. What’s she listed as in your phone?

Hey yo, call your mother. That's right, I said it. Call your mother. Here's a real quick group activity. If you're driving, pull over. If you're parked, stay parked. Right? And if you have a hands-free device, use it. Cause these cops out here right now they're being devils and they're bearing their fangs. Anyway, I'ma call my mother. Hey Siri, call mommy. Hey baby. Mom. Yes. Love you. I love you too. Excellent. So check it out. Right now I'm just recording a podcast. I called to check in on you. And guess what? You're a starter podcast right now. You're a guest. I'm a guest. Yep, and guess what? Now I'm hanging up. I love you. You too. Alright. Bye. See how easy that was? No emergency, no long explanation, and no guilt attached. Just check in. Because somewhere between being busy, being grown, and being tired, we forgot how much that voice specifically still grounds us. We often forget how much moms carry quietly, consistently, and without a press release. Cool. Now that we handled that, let's get into it. Welcome to the Brunch Behavior, The Paul Report. I'm Styles. Today's vibe, moms. Period. That's it. Let me break this one down for you. The Sip Sermon. My mom had me at 16, and I'm not saying that for shock value. I'm saying it because I watched a girl, a little girl, become a mother in real time. She was learning on the fly while still making sure everything was good with me. My mother, affectionately spelled with a V, was the center of everything for me. Everything ran through her. The love, the rules, the discipline, the protection, all of it lived right there. Motherhood doesn't wait for perfect timing. It shows up and says, figure it out. And let's be clear, this is a woman raising a man child. So when I got out of pocket, she didn't argue with the death. She didn't lecture. She just made a call. The next thing I knew, my uncle was on his way over, like we had an appointment or something. I guess we did in a lot of ways. I missed that dude. Let me be clear, it wasn't because she couldn't handle me. No, my moms understood leverage better than anybody. And what matters is this: she showed up each and every time, even when it was heavy. Especially when it was heavy. Let me break this down in the glass for you. If we're talking about moms, the drink has to be simple but intentional. We're gonna call this one the quiet backbone. What's in the glass? Lichi, lemon, vodka, and a touch of honey or agave. Nothing loud, nothing extra, just balanced. If you wanna see this made, behind the poor is coming. It's not behind the poor, it's called the afterpour. Afterpour is coming to YouTube real soon. If it looked easy, it's because she carried the hard parts. Brunch behavior breakdown. This is what it looks like in real life. A mom making decisions without all of the information, holding everything together while pretending it's like what? Carrying emotional weight so her kids don't have to feel it. As parents, that's what we all do. We try to shield our kids. She's the planner, she's the protector, the emotional thermostat of the house. Even when nobody says thank you, and even when the credit goes elsewhere. Most moms don't get celebrated for what they prevent, they get noticed for what slips through, if anything does. This is for the moms doing it solo, stretching time, money, and energy like it's elastic. And yes, even the mothers in two-parent homes, because motherhood still carries a different kind of pressure. Different roles don't cancel the weight. This right here is dedicated to the moms who kept the lights on, the fridge stacked, and the spirit steady, who showed up even when they were running low themselves. This is for y'all, because this is where we get it from. So recently, and I'ma end this right here, but recently, uh I'm lying, it wasn't recent, but I had a debate with my not even a debate, I'm bugging. I was talking to some friends, there we go, that's the thought, about and I asked them what they have their moms stored as in their phones, right? Mine is mommy. Um, drop it in the comments if you can. DM me. I love to have a little insight as to what's going on on your side of things. But yeah, in my big grown age, my mother is stored as mommy in my phone. The final pull. So yeah, call your mother. And if your mom is listening to this right now, doing the best you can with what you got, here's your flowers. We love you. We do. Sip happens. Every sip tells a story, and that's our pour for today. Before you go, if this episode hit, there's more where that came from. I've got a free pour pack waiting for you.
