From PTSD to a Purpose- Saving Veterans + The Treatment That Helped + The White House Takes Notice

Guests: Marcus and Amber Capone

A Navy’s SEAL’s great mission: Marcus and Amber Capone join Hot Mics for a candid, moving conversation about help and healing. Marcus, a Navy Seal Veteran, talks about his PTSD and mental health, saying he reached a point where he "didn't want to live anymore." Amber talks about being a partner and wife during these moments...saying she had already decided to leave. After years of deployments, PTSD, depression, and watching their family unravel, something happened neither believed was possible. Marcus says the treatment "gave me my life back," and Amber says she finally got her husband back. Today their story is helping veterans across the country, inspiring a major documentary, and even taking them all the way to the White House for a meeting with President Trump. How did that meeting go? You'll have to watch to see... It's a remarkable story about healing, purpose, and getting a second chance when all hope seems lost.

Sebastian Maniscalco joins Hot Mics and guest what?... laughter ensues! From why he walked away from social media after one weekend of doom-scrolling to the reality of raising kids in Los Angeles, Sebastian explains why modern life feels more exhausting than ever. He talks parenting, private schools, youth sports, moving out of California, cooking for his family, and the strange pressure to always be online. Plus, Billy gets Sebastian talking about Michael Jackson, Air Force One, Saturday Night Live, comedy, success, and the little negative voice that never seems to go away no matter how big you get.

Spencer Pratt may have lost the Los Angeles mayor's race, but he's definitely not going quietly... saying, "change is coming." We take a closer look at what's next for Spencer and the political machine he spent months battling. And, non-citizens will be able to vote? While everyone was focused on Nithya Raman's stunning late surge, Los Angeles city leaders quietly moved forward with a proposal that could allow non-citizens to vote in future city elections. We get into why supporters call it inclusion, critics call it insanity, and why the fight over who gets a voice in Los Angeles is only getting louder. And, Taylor and Blake still friends, or what? Blake's week somehow gets worse as reports she scored an invite to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's future wedding get publicly shot down. Plus, from Father's Day group texts that can get a man in serious trouble at home to the U.S. Open and the wild scenes at the Club World Cup, we've got plenty to talk about.

Guest:  Rachel Lindsay, "Higher Learning with Van Lathan and Rachel Lindsay" & "Morally Corrupt"
@HigherLearning @MorallyCorruptPodcast 

Rachel Lindsay... Or BIG RACH... as Billy calls her, joins Hot Mics saying she was "shocked" by Spencer Pratt's support in the Los Angeles mayoral race and stunned by how close he came to overtaking Nithya Raman. Billy and Rachel break down the election results, the lingering questions surrounding the race, and why people are still arguing about it days later. Then, they get into JD Vance and how he handles himself as Vice President... including how he answered questions on The View... while questions continue to swirl around Trump, transparency, and a headline-grabbing UFC weekend. Plus, from Love Island to The Bachelor, we take a look at the reality TV boom and why the biggest stars on television may now have more influence than the people running for office.

Guest:  Victoria Burke

Blake Lively... what does she need now? time?-- Just days after a ruling that allows her to seek attorneys' fees tied to California's Me Too statute, she's asking the court for an extension while critics argue she's still trying to turn a narrow legal win into something much bigger. Victoria Burke, the author of the law at the center of the fight, returns to Hot Mics to discuss what it was actually designed to do and whether this case reflects its original intent. Then, Tyra Banks mis represented? She takes on Netflix, claiming a documentary edit falsely made her look complicit in covering up sexual assault, raising fresh questions about how far producers can go in shaping a narrative. Plus, Paris Hilton is fighting back and making a statement... Pure intentions? Are there deeper reasonings? She returns to the facility that helped launch her advocacy movement, standing alongside families alleging medical neglect and reigniting the debate over accountability inside America's troubled youth treatment industry.

Guest: DEAN LOGAN, LA COUNTRY REGISTRAR-RECORDER COUNTY CLERK

Can Los Angeles voters trust the system that just produced one of the most debated mayoral races in recent memory? LA County Registar-Recorder County Clerk Dean Logan joins us exclusively to discuss the system in place and how it worked for this recent election. We discuss ballot harvesting, late-counted votes, voter rolls, and the questions many Angelenos still have after a dramatic post-Election Day shift in the results. Then, Jalen Brunson Big night... bringing New York a trophy... how about that UFC fight at the White House... what do we think now?  And Billy recounts his night at the World Cup... when Team USA brought the country together.. Plus, David Beckham... taking advantage of all this? From ownership deals and endorsement campaigns to seemingly being everywhere at once, we look at whether one of the world's most recognizable athletes is building an empire—or simply becoming overexposed.

Guest:  Alan Jackson, Re: Nick Reiner

Karen Bass or Nithya Raman — Billy Bush makes his call, and it might surprise you. Then: the LA mayoral race is called, but the story underneath it isn't over. Nearly 1,200 people registered to vote at a homeless shelter with 132 beds. A $600K check. Harvested ballots. The DOJ already arrested a Skid Row signature gatherer. Billy has the breakdown no one else is giving you — and a Republican election attorney who says what even Trump supporters don't want to hear about whether it changed the outcome.
Plus: America's top criminal defense attorney Alan Jackson joins live from Boston. Michael Proctor's deposition — the racist, fired detective at the center of the Karen Read civil case — was blocked at the last minute. What happened, what the judge said, and what comes next on June 25th. Then Alan drops a bombshell: he may be back on the Nick Reiner case.
And: Kat Crowder — who went by "Bougie Behind Bars" on TikTok — was incarcerated at the same Ohio women's prison as Mackenzie Schirrilla. She gives an inside account of who Kenzie really is in there — before the Netflix cameras showed up. The makeup, the cliques, the disciplinary write-ups, and why the girl on the documentary sounds nothing like the girl Kat knew.

Guest:  Maureen Callahan, The Nerve @TheNerveShow 
We take a closer look at the biggest surprise in Los Angeles politics: Nithya Raman. Just hours after endorsing Karen Bass, she jumped into the race and is now pulling in votes across the city, leaving many Angelenos asking the same question—who is she, where did her support come from, and what does it say about the future of LA politics? Then, Maureen Callahan joins Hot Mics to sound off on everything from Taylor Swift and Meghan Markle... to Donald Trump Booed [?]... to Spencer Pratt, Blake Lively and Rosie O'Donnell... we take a lively spin through it all.
