Guest: Scott Galloway, Author, "Notes on Being A Man" and Host, "Pivot" Podcast. Billy and Scott Galloway discuss the Epstein files and why Trump flipped on releasing them. Is it a sign that Trump may be "losing the room," so to speak? And what will be covered up when the files do come out? Then, What is happening to this generation of young men? Does masculinity as we know it still exist? What pressures are young men facing as they turn to grown men? And where can they turn to find role models? Finally...how does Trump relate to all of this? Scott's book “notes on being a man” is incredibly timely. Let's dig in. Thanks to our sponsor LAGOLF!

Guest: Zack Peter — No Filter with Zack Peter Podcast

Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni… things just got heavier. The Baldoni camp dropped a 70-page summary, and now everyone’s asking: Will the judge throw this case out? What does Blake actually have as evidence? And the newest email leaks—what do they reveal, and how much does Hollywood already know? Billy breaks it all down with pop-culture sleuth Zack Peter.

Then, Timothée Chalamet… how far will he go for a joke? And a U.S. Senator gets caught on camera doing—well—something. But what exactly are we seeing, and how should the public handle it?

Bret Baier joins Hot Mics to unpack the biggest headlines. Are the Epstein Files finally here to stay—or will they quietly disappear? Will we ever get the full truth, and could anyone still be taken down by what’s inside?

Then, the government shutdown—did the Democrats cave? What do the latest elections tell us about the country’s direction, and what does Mamdani’s victory reveal about the future of both parties?
