The Ball brothers are teaming up again — this time off the court and outside the booth. Lonzo and LiAngelo Ball are returning to the podcast world with their new series, The Ball and the Family Podcast.
“The chemistry hits different when it’s real family,” Lonzo tells Billboard. “We joke, argue, push each other, hype each other up — you’ll see that. People will also see how our relationship has evolved, from kids in the backyard to dealing with everything we’ve been through.”
Set to debut Nov. 11, The Ball and the Family Podcast will feature 40 episodes with guests from across the sports and entertainment world, including Michael Porter Jr., Larry Nance Jr., Myles Turner, Donovan Mitchell and Jake Paul. The premiere episode will feature ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith. The show will stream exclusively on the Betr app, a gaming and media platform cofounded by Joey Levy and Jake Paul.
“You can come on the show and really be yourself. No filters. Real conversations. It’s your voice, heard by the world,” LiAngelo tells Billboard, promising a space for authenticity.
Though both brothers juggle demanding schedules, they’ll host remotely: Lonzo — now with the Cleveland Cavaliers — will record from Cleveland and on the road, while LiAngelo will be based in Los Angeles. They will also share hosting duties alongside Darren “DMo” Moore and Anthony “Ant” Salazar.
Beyond their shared ties to basketball and music, the Ball brothers aim to explore deeper conversations and dream of hosting guests like Tom Brady, Kevin Hart, Zendaya, Barack Obama, and Leonardo DiCaprio.
“We want to go deeper than basketball and music,” Lonzo says. “Everyone always sees the highlights, but we want to take people behind the scenes — family dynamics, growth, what we’ve learned. Real life conversations, but still fun.”
