Balls On The Table

with Evan and Tony

What happens when men stop pretending… and actually talk? Balls On The Table is where real conversations about modern manhood finally get said out loud. The pressures. The expectations. The stuff guys joke about but rarely admit actually affects them — relationships, sex, fatherhood, aging, insecurity, success, failure, and the quiet fears most men carry alone... and the stuff they enjoy the most and like the least. Hosted from the regular guy’s point of view — we’re not therapists, not experts — just a couple guys willing to go first. This show brings honest, funny, and sometimes uncomfortable conversations with friends, strangers, and people who have lived it. Some episodes make you laugh. Some hit deeper than expected. All of them put the truth where it belongs: on the table. This isn’t about complaining. It’s about understanding what men think they want, what they actually need, and what changes when they finally start talking about it. If you’re a man trying to grow, figure things out, or just hear someone say, “Yeah, me too,” this is your seat at the table. And if you’re trying to understand a man — you’ll want to listen. Because the strongest men aren’t just the ones who stay quiet. They’re the ones who have the guts to put their balls on the table.

    GEN ALPHA Runs It Back: Charley. Mia. Delilah.

    What’s it really like being a teenage girl today? In this episode of BALLS ON THE TABLE, three teenagers showed up and gave us an honest, unfiltered look at growing up in a world shaped by cell phones, social media, constant connectivity and nonstop pressure. We get a real glimpse into life through the eyes of the next gen as they discuss the gap between what people post online and what they're actually experiencing. From online validation and comparison culture to friendships, first-kisses, mental health, dating, self-judgment and the challenge of finding your identity, these three best friends put their phones on the table and delivered one of our favorite conversations. From the transition into high school and the excitement and anxiety that come with it, to what motivates them, what today's teens worry about, driving versus Uber, and what they wish adults better understood about their lives, they share stories and perspectives that are funny, thoughtful, surprising, and at times deeply revealing. For parents, teachers, coaches, (boys!) this episode offers a candid look at what it means to be a teenage girl in 2026. Their honesty may challenge some assumptions, confirm others, and give listeners a better understanding of how Gen Alpha is navigating a rapidly changing world. And stick around until the very end for an unforgettable surprise as Charley, Mia, and Delilah wrap up the episode in a way none of us saw coming. Because sometimes the best way to understand the next generation is to simply listen to them. Subscribe for all the content! And leave a comment!

    REZA JACKSON: Can he Moonwalk his way out of the Playboy Life?

    Reza Jackson comes to the table for a conversation that goes far beyond what viewers see on reality TV. Known to Bravo fans as the charming, outspoken "retired playboy" from The Valley: Persian Style, Reza gets candid about the relationships that have shaped him—from his wild dating stories and views on commitment, why open relationships don’t seem to stay open, and what he wants in deeper connection. We dive into the role family has played in his life, including the unwavering support of his parents and how their encouragement helped shape the man he is today. From Reza’s lifelong admiration for Michael Jackson, to not being afraid to try everything, we explore why chasing your dreams and “feeling” life are invaluable. Funny, self-aware, and raw and honest, Reza shares stories and perspectives that reveal a side of him audiences rarely get to see. It's a conversation about love, loyalty, freedom, and figuring out who you are when the party starts winding down.  Slide up and let's go!  Subscribe for all the content! And leave a comment!

    TOMMY VIETOR: Balls Are Out with the Pod Save America co-host

    Tommy Vietor has spent years in some of the loudest rooms in the world — from the White House to one of the biggest podcasts in America. But this conversation isn’t about headlines or politics. It’s about what happens when life doesn’t follow the plan, and how those detours slowly reshape who you become. From Kenyon College to the campaign trail, and eventually into the ears of millions as one of the defining voices in American media, Tommy opens up about the long and emotional road to becoming a father, the strange weight of public life, and the realization that life rarely unfolds the way we imagine it will. What emerges is a conversation about ambition, family, identity, friendship, and learning to grow into yourself rather than the version you thought you’d be. He may be one of the most recognizable voices in the country — but by the end of this episode, he feels like the guy you’d want to grab tacos with, have a guitar jam and talk about life.
