Balls On The Table

FRANK GRILLO - Boxing, Bach, Bufo & Being A Man

Balls On The Table

Show Notes

Frank Grillo has built a career playing tough guys—but how much of that fire do you actually need to get through life? In this episode at the Table, Frank gets into his career, being a father to young men, reinventing himself, getting older, and knowing when to stand your ground—and when to walk away. We talk about discipline, relationships, success & failure, and the responsibility of giving boys the tools to stand up for themselves without needing to prove their worth to everyone else. From Bach’s cello suites to smoking Bufo - Frank Grillo isn't exactly what you expect. But he likes getting hit in the face, so we trust him. No posturing. No easy answers. No rules. Just a hell of a conversation about identity, resilience, and figuring out who you want to become.

Somatic healer Stevie Wright joins us at the Table for an honest conversation about intimacy, desire, healing, and why connecting with the people we love can be harder than it sounds. We get into what we say versus what we actually feel, where couples misunderstand each other, and why many women are drawn to the primal component of some good smut—and what fantasy can reveal about what we want, but don't always express. As a former American Idol contestant this woman still loves to perform - only now she’s doing it where it matters most; on herself and with others wanting to better understand themselves. Because understanding each other starts with being willing to ask the questions most people avoid—and being honest enough to hear the answers.

Kicking off Season 3 is one of stand-up comedy’s most recognizable voices. Jeff Dye has spent years making people laugh by saying the things most people are thinking but are too afraid to say out loud. He pushes those thoughts so far that somewhere between the laugh and the discomfort, you start thinking about not just what’s hilarious, but what actually matters.
