Balls On The Table

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.

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.

Episode Description: At the table this week, Bradley Hicks—former Navy SEAL Task Force leader, investor, and entrepreneur—opens up about the personal battles that followed his years in service. Bradley reflects on the challenges of transitioning back to civilian life, while finding deep meaning in raising his son, building companies, and navigating co-parenting with intention and presence. He shares how he’s stepped into a more conscious, “higher frequency” way of living — aligning his actions with integrity, and carrying the discipline from his SEAL career into fatherhood, future relationships, and business. This is a raw, direct conversation about growth, taking responsibility, and what it means to evolve as a man, and a leader… and, candidly, what not to do in relationships.

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. Hosted from the regular guy’s point of view — we’re not therapists, not celebrity 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 the ones who stay quiet. They’re the ones who have the guts to put their balls on the table. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
