Show Notes
This 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.

More from Balls On The Table
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.
RICCARDO BERDINI: Some people play with the balls. Some people control the game. And then there are those who make you question whether you ever saw what you think you did. On this episode of BOTT, we’re joined by an illusionist and mentalist whose performances blur the line between skill, psychology, and the impossible.
Therapist and relationship coach Kristina Ferrari joins Balls on the Table for a raw conversation about the hidden patterns that shape how we love, connect, and protect ourselves. Kristina shares her own heartfelt story of marriage & divorce, abuse and the ways she learned to survive without even realizing she was doing it, and the moment she began to see that a life that looked successful on the outside could still feel deeply wrong on the inside.
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.
Some people cut through the noise to reinvent themselves. Jonica Blu Booth decided to turn the volume all the way up.
