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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    KRISTINA FERRARI - Love's Not 50/50. It’s Not Papyrus Either.

    Therapist and relationship coach Kristina Ferrari joins Balls on the Table for a raw conversation about the hidden patterns that shape how we love, connect, and protect ourselves. Kristina shares her own heartfelt story of marriage & divorce, abuse and the ways she learned to survive without even realizing she was doing it, and the moment she began to see that a life that looked successful on the outside could still feel deeply wrong on the inside. We get into control, intimacy, sex the weird stuff, why we often repeat patterns we don't even know we're carrying and why fifty-fifty in a relationship doesn’t work. It has to be one hundred - one hundred.... Most of all, we talk about the uncomfortable truth that the things that once kept us safe can eventually keep us small. Because seeing the pattern is only the beginning. The real question is: what are you willing to change? Please subscribe to the channels and follow if you haven't done so yet! It really helps us out.

    FRANK GRILLO - Boxing, Bach, Bufo & Being A Man

    Frank Grillo has built a career playing tough guys—but how much of that fire do you actually need to get through life? In this episode at the Table, Frank gets into his career, being a father to young men, reinventing himself, getting older, and knowing when to stand your ground—and when to walk away. We talk about discipline, relationships, success & failure, and the responsibility of giving boys the tools to stand up for themselves without needing to prove their worth to everyone else. From Bach’s cello suites to smoking Bufo - Frank Grillo isn't exactly what you expect. But he likes getting hit in the face, so we trust him. No posturing. No easy answers. No rules. Just a hell of a conversation about identity, resilience, and figuring out who you want to become. Please subscribe to the channels and follow if you haven't done so yet! It really helps us out.

    Some people cut through the noise to reinvent themselves. Jonica Blu Booth decided to turn the volume all the way up.

It’s funny, flirty, spicy—and honest to the bone. Because Jonica isn’t interested in playing it safe, in her career, with love, or anywhere in between.

    JEFF DYE: NO FILTER - NO BULLS*T - NO GRUDGES

    Kicking off Season 3 is one of stand-up comedy’s most recognizable voices. Jeff Dye has spent years making people laugh by saying the things most people are thinking but are too afraid to say out loud. He pushes those thoughts so far that somewhere between the laugh and the discomfort, you start thinking about not just what’s hilarious, but what actually matters. On this episode of BALLS, this super talented storyteller gets real about relationships, failure, getting older, and the strange expectations that come with being a man. We talk about the difference between who you are, who people think you should be, and who you actually want to become. And then the conversation goes deeper. From his sobriety and what works for him, to the tragic loss of his sister, grief, and how losing someone can change the way you look at everything—including yourself, your relationships, and who shows up. Because underneath the comedy, the confidence, and the career, there’s a guy trying to make sense of the same things the rest of us are trying to figure out—how to live, love, evolve, and be honest with yourself along the way… Because being ourselves is really enough.

    TAYLOR HART...Is Never Behind The 8 Ball

    Taylor Hart is back at the table, so cue the laughs and madness. It’s always a pleasure catching up with our favorite recurring guest, and this conversation feels like the perfect continuation of where we left off last time. We dive into almost all of the different healing modalities; from ayahuasca to Bufo, Kambo and even Iboga, and what each is and does with regards to healing. Taylor also shares more details about his move to Spain, what he's learned through embracing change, and how stepping into a new chapter has brought a fresh perspective and growth. If you're navigating a season of transition, curious about holistic healing, wrestling demons, or simply looking for an honest conversation about slowing down and living more intentionally, we know you'll enjoy this one. As always, Taylor brings a unique, inimitable perspective, and a reminder that new beginnings even when hard-earned, often come with exactly the lessons we need. Ladies and gentleman - Taylor F’ng Hart.  Subscribe for all the content!
