Balls On The Table
Balls On The Table is a conversation-driven podcast about modern manhood, hosted by Evan and Tony from a regular guy's point of view. Each episode tackles the pressures and expectations men face — relationships, sex, fatherhood, aging, insecurity, success and failure — along with the quiet fears many carry alone. The hosts are not therapists or experts; they simply go first and speak honestly about subjects guys often joke about but rarely admit affect them. Episodes range from funny to uncomfortable, featuring conversations with friends, strangers and people who have lived through these experiences. The aim is understanding what men think they want, what they actually need, and what changes when they finally start talking.
