Balls On The Table

This week on Balls we’re joined by the hilarious Matt Felker —pop culture expert, producer of Baywatch: Moment in the Sun, and one of the funniest storytellers you’ll ever come across. From talking about personal addiction and taking too much testosterone, to real reflection on death, we dive into everything on this episode:  From Matt’s early career as a model, and his work in the entertainment industry with an ability of finding the pulse of what’s relevant, to diving deep in to personal territory, he’s willing to go there in every part of the discussion.  We discuss the importance of family, the emotional journey of trying to become a parent, and what the future looks like for the next generation growing up in social media — if they’re prepared for success, or are we creating challenges they can’t handle? This episode is ridiculous in the best ways - talking about all kinds of balls, and ultimately we come back to what really matters at the end of the day: family, connection, and the people we share our lives with. Because as Matt reminds us ‘everyone that dies had plans for tomorrow.”  It's a funny, thoughtful, and honest and personal conversation that reminds us that, despite all the noise around, and unexpected success, the things that matter most haven't really changed.

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 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!

For the first time in Balls on the Table, Evan and Tony welcome a female guest—and it's a conversation worth the wait.This week, we sit down with Cat Pierce, singer-songwriter, artist, and one half of the acclaimed duo The Pierces.Cat's journey through the music industry is anything but typical. Before achieving international success she navigated the highs, lows, and uncertainty of the business, signing an incredible five record deals along the way and staying true to herself by relying on authenticity.But this episode goes far beyond music. After years of success as a recording artist, Cat found herself drawn toward a new purpose: helping women reconnect with themselves, trust their intuition, and remain creative as they \step into their power. We talk about reinvention, self-worth, relationships, healing, the courage to follow a new calling and what works (and doesn't) with your partner in the bedroom.As the first woman to join Balls on the Table, Cat brings a totally fresh and insightful perspective to the table this week. This is a conversation about transformation, and discovering that sometimes the next chapter turns out to be the most meaningful one yet.
