Balls On The Table, the breakout podcast hosted by Evan Hart and Antonio Beliveau, returns in 2026 for Season 2 with an expanded lineup of guests and the same unapologetically honest conversations that have resonated with listeners looking for something deeper than the typical podcast formula.
At a time when discussions about masculinity are often polarized, oversimplified, or reduced to soundbites, Balls On The Table offers something increasingly rare: authentic conversations between people with different backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints.
Season 2: Bigger Voices, Broader Perspectives
Season 2 features an impressive lineup of guests including Tommy Vietor of Pod Save America, comedian Ben Gleib—host of the new late-night show Good Night with Ben Gleib—alongside professional athletes, CEOs, musicians, artists, wellness experts, military leaders, racecar drivers, documentarians, and more.
The new season also expands its range of voices by featuring more women and perspectives that challenge assumptions while encouraging thoughtful, nuanced dialogue about modern manhood and the relationships that shape it.
“We’re not experts and we’re not trying to sell anyone a solution,” says co-host Evan Hart. “We’re simply creating a space where people can talk honestly and openly about their relationships, success, failure, growth, and the experiences that shape who we become. The show leapt from the idea of how to communicate better, and ultimately discussing what men need versus what they want.”
Real Conversations About What People Rarely Say Out Loud
The show’s appeal lies in its willingness to tackle topics many people think about but rarely discuss openly. From relationships and fatherhood to identity, vulnerability, ambition, sex, and personal growth, Balls On The Table approaches each conversation with humor, curiosity, and a genuine desire to understand rather than preach.
Co-host Antonio Beliveau adds, “The best conversations happen when people stop performing and start being real. That’s what we’re trying to capture every episode.”
Season 1: A Foundation of Honest, Hilarious, and Human Stories
Season 1 established the show’s reputation for compelling guests and unexpectedly hilarious, honest conversations, featuring actors Shawn Ashmore and Nick Gonzalez, two-time Jiu-Jitsu World Champion Kit Dale, acclaimed artist Gregory Siff, and Naval Officer and SEAL team leader turned investor Bradley Hicks.
