Balls On The Table
BRADLEY HICKS: A Warfighter Reprograms To Heal and Level Up
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.

LAUREN ABRAHAM knows Flow State isn't found at the top of the mountain, it's earned on the climb up.
01:09:59||Season 2Lauren Abraham understands what it's like to lose what defines you—and to then build something even stronger in its place. A former professional snowboarder whose career was cut short by catastrophic injuries, Lauren endured years of surgeries, time in a wheelchair, addiction, a stint in jail, and the long road back. Instead of chasing the life she lost, she created an entirely new one. Today she's an internationally recognized TV host, action sports announcer, fitness model, entrepreneur, and wellness advocate. But beneath the magazine covers is a deeper story about resilience, identity, and her romance with flow state. In this episode of BALLS, Lauren talks about rebuilding from rock bottom to finding freedom through movement, and why the search for peak performance is really a search for presence. She shares with us her 'Non-negotiables' and what she likes and doesn't like in a man. This is a conversation about second acts, earned confidence, and understanding that sometimes your greatest victories often come after your biggest losses. Subscribe for all the content!

BRENDAN BUCKLEY: Consistency (for everyone) Is The Real Gig
01:00:19||Season 2Professional drummer and music director Brendan Buckley has spent years touring the world with some of music's biggest artists, from Shakira to Morrissey to Damien Rice to more - but this conversation goes beyond what happens on stage. We talk about what constant travel teaches you about people, perspective, and always being prepared. Brendan shares why consistency—not flashes of brilliance—is what builds a meaningful career, and how that same mindset carries into his personal life. The music folds into an honest conversation about fatherhood, vulnerability, Jiu Jitsu (Brendan is a blackbelt) what makes a 'real' man, and finding the balance between keeping things private and sharing just enough... Because the most important performance isn't on stage—it's the one you give to the people who know you best. Subscribe for all the content! And leave a comment!

MATT FELKER: Is Pop Culture's Secret Weapon
01:05:34||Season 2This 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.

GEN ALPHA Runs It Back: Charley. Mia. Delilah.
53:07|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!
