    EX-IDOL contestant Caleb Flynn: Can The Body Cam Save Him? Sep 16, 2026
    Show notes

    A tragic morning in Los Angeles after a news helicopter crashes in Chatsworth, killing three people. Billy remembers the crew and speaks with FOX 11’s Stu Mundel about the loss and the unique risks faced by the journalists who cover Los Angeles from the air.

    Then, the investigation into Hayden Panettiere’s death continues. Hayden’s former next-door neighbor Mia Terrazas joins Billy with firsthand observations about people she says she saw coming and going from Hayden’s apartment — and explains why she’s frustrated that investigators have apparently not yet visited the building.

    Plus, prosecutors will not seek the death penalty against Nick Reiner, and the fallout surrounding Ed Sheeran and Macklemore continues.

    Then Billy goes deep on the case of Caleb Flynn, the former American Idol contestant and worship pastor accused of murdering his wife, Ashley. With Flynn’s trial beginning, Billy plays the 911 call from the night Ashley was killed and compares it with police body-camera footage. What does the prosecution say happened inside that Ohio home? Why was a garage door open despite a refrigerator blocking the entrance? What happened to the missing 9mm handgun? And what will Flynn’s young daughters tell the jury?

    Caleb Flynn has pleaded not guilty.

    Plus, a quick update on Amy Griffin and The Tell ahead of the anticipated New York Magazine story.

    It’s all on today’s Hot Mics with Billy Bush.

    Two Things Can Be True: Macklemore and the AI Crisis Sep 15, 2026
    Show notes

    Billy kicks things off with the Emmys, breaking down the red carpet hits, misses and moments that got his attention. Then, Macklemore is facing major fallout after another “Free Palestine” statement, with multiple dates on Ed Sheeran’s stadium tour reportedly disappearing from his schedule. Billy weighs free speech against consequences — and asks why the conversation so often ignores Hamas. Meanwhile, Sydney Sweeney has figured out the controversy economy. Her provocative new sports-betting campaign has sparked another round of outrage from female athletes and critics — while generating tens of millions of views. Billy argues two things can be true: female athletes deserve respect for their accomplishments, and Sweeney can use sex appeal to build her brand and make money. There’s also a fascinating Hollywood twist involving legendary agent Ari Emanuel, who reportedly gave Sweeney some very personal career advice involving her boyfriend, **Scooter Braun**. Billy is joined by Raquel Debono, founder of “Make America Hot Again,” for a conversation about Sweeney, politics, attractiveness and why she thinks the cultural battle over beauty has gotten completely out of control. Plus, another Jolie-Pitt child drops Brad Pitt’s last name — and Billy returns to the growing debate over artificial intelligence. President Trump pushes back hard against Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s calls for AI guardrails, while Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Elon Musk and others weigh in on how quickly the technology should advance. And Billy closes with a chilling warning from Stephen Hawking — made all the way back in 2014 — about what could happen if artificial intelligence eventually surpasses human intelligence.** It’s politics, pop culture, Hollywood and AI — with room for more than one thing to be true. **Hot Mics with Billy Bush.

    The Hold Out Juror Has Been Doxed Sep 14, 2026
    Show notes

    The fallout from the Lindsay Clancy trial continues as the holdout juror is publicly identified — and Aidan Kearney, aka Turtleboy, joins Billy to defend his decision to amplify the juror’s identity. Billy presses him on the public-interest argument, the juror’s reported legal history, questions surrounding the jury questionnaire, and whether any of this could affect what happens next in the Clancy case.

    Billy also sounds the alarm over a very different story: some of the biggest names in artificial intelligence are now openly warning about the dangers of moving too fast. With calls for government oversight growing, is Washington prepared to deal with an AI race that could have enormous consequences?

    Then, a major update on Amy Griffin and The Tell. Billy shares portions of Griffin’s lengthy interview with an Amarillo police investigator and examines new questions surrounding her allegations, the investigative material behind them, the media’s silence, and a planned multi-part Air Mail investigation that was ultimately killed.

    Plus: the latest on Hayden Panettiere and Brian Hickerson, the disturbing allegations involving KJ Biermann, Blake Lively’s microwave moment, Jennifer Lawrence’s Instagram debut, Britney Spears, and a wild Fashion Week confrontation with a PETA protester.

    It’s a packed Monday edition of Hot Mics with Billy Bush.

    The Catholic Priest RIPPING On Lindsay Clancy + The Most Horrific 911 Call Of All Time! Sep 10, 2026
    Show notes

    A major development in the Lindsay Clancy case changes the direction of today’s show.

    Billy Bush reacts to explosive comments from Catholic priest and exorcist Father Dan Reehil about Lindsay Clancy — comments that quickly ignite a much larger conversation about mental illness, faith, mercy and how the case is being discussed publicly.

    Then, Father Bob — the longtime pastor to Lindsay and Patrick Clancy — joins Billy to offer a deeply different perspective. He discusses the family, Lindsay’s mental health struggles, compassion in the aftermath of an unimaginable tragedy, and his reaction to the rhetoric surrounding the case.

    The conversation then turns inside the courtroom.

    Juror #10 Nick Dargy speaks out about the mistrial and what happened during deliberations. Attorney Michael Bryant breaks down what unfolded in court and where the case stands, and Lindsay Clancy’s defense attorney Kevin Reddington joins the discussion following the mistrial.

    What happened inside that jury room? Where does the case go from here? And after everything that has happened, will Lindsay Clancy face another trial?

    It’s a packed edition of Hot Mics with Billy Bush, with new voices and new insight into one of the most closely watched criminal cases in the country.

    Clancy Jurors Reveal What REALLY Happened in Deliberations Sep 10, 2026
    Show notes

    Three jurors from the Lindsay Clancy trial are speaking out — and what they reveal about the lone holdout juror, reasonable doubt and the mistrial raises major new questions about what happened inside that jury room.

    Billy Bush breaks down the jurors’ interviews with NBC10 Boston’s Sue O’Connell, including the foreperson’s stunning account of the moment she thought they had finally reached a verdict. Plus, has Kevin Reddington changed his tune on Patrick Clancy as the case heads toward its next major hearing?

    Then, Billy takes a closer look at Amy Griffin and The Tell, including lingering questions surrounding Griffin’s account and details that have received little attention in the broader media coverage.

    Plus, the new iPhone, Trump’s midterm convention, his Labor Day social-media blitz, and growing concerns from inside the AI industry.

    Subscribe to Hot Mics with Billy Bush for the latest breaking news, trials, entertainment and the stories everyone is talking about.

    Lindsay Clancy Case: Kevin Reddington Wants Trump To Issue A Pardon! Sep 08, 2026
    Show notes

    Kevin Reddington is speaking out after the Lindsay Clancy mistrial — and Billy has plenty to say about his first major post-trial interview.

    Billy breaks down Reddington’s appearance with George Stephanopoulos, including his relationship with Lindsay Clancy, whether Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz will pursue another first-degree murder trial, and Reddington’s surprising suggestion that President Donald Trump consider a pardon. Billy also looks ahead to the September 29 court date and what could happen next in the case.

    Then, Billy responds to a retraction demand he received from attorneys representing Patrick Clancy over comments made on Hot Mics. Billy addresses what he said, what he meant, the difference between his commentary and allegations circulating elsewhere online, and why he believes some of the conspiracy theories surrounding Patrick have gone far beyond the evidence.

    Plus: the mysterious new A24 documentary about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes that stunned audiences at Telluride; Ryan Reynolds takes aim at the 1980s and Billy fires back; and another strange development in the legal battle surrounding Amy Griffin and The Tell after Griffin’s attorneys publicly filed an exhibit containing the real name of the teacher identified in her book as “Mr. Mason” — then moved to seal the identifying information.

    And somehow, before it’s over, Billy also explains why his one experiment with Botox was an absolute disaster.

    It’s a packed Tuesday edition of Hot Mics with Billy Bush.

    Lindsay Clancy Mistrial: Did Kevin Reddington Push Too Far? Sep 04, 2026
    Show notes

    The Lindsay Clancy trial ends in a mistrial after an extraordinary final day in court — and a last-minute effort by defense attorney Kevin Reddington to keep the case alive before Massachusetts’ highest court.

    Join Billy as we follow the drama in real time as a reported 11–1 jury impasse turns into a battle over one holdout juror. Reddington argues the juror may have been refusing to follow the court’s instructions on reasonable doubt and criminal responsibility, pushing Judge William Sullivan for further inquiry before a mistrial could be declared.

    When Sullivan refuses, Reddington takes the fight to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, seeking emergency intervention.

    Billy is joined throughout the marathon coverage by Massachusetts criminal defense attorney Joe Krowski, Mark Geragos and former prosecutor Matt Murphy, who offer sharply different views on Reddington’s strategy, the holdout juror and whether the defense pushed too far.

    Hot Mics also carries the emergency appellate hearing before Justice Dalila Argaez Wendlandt — followed by the final moments in Plymouth County Superior Court as Judge Sullivan brings the jury back and formally declares a mistrial.

    Now the question becomes: What happens to Lindsay Clancy next?

    The case returns to court September 29 as both sides prepare for the possibility of doing it all over again.

    Kevin Reddington The Lawn Chair Lawyer Holds Court! Sep 03, 2026
    Show notes

    The Lindsay Clancy jury is back for Day 6 of deliberations after telling the judge it could not reach a unanimous verdict — and now the pressure could hardly be higher.

    Judge John Sullivan has delivered the powerful Tuey-Rodriguez instruction, commonly known as the “dynamite charge,” sending jurors back to reconsider their positions and make another attempt at reaching a unanimous decision.

    Billy Bush breaks down the key language of the instruction and what it means as the jury continues deliberating in the case against Lindsay Clancy.

    Meanwhile, outside the Plymouth County Courthouse, the Clancy trial has developed a world of its own.

    “Court Dog Daniel” joins Billy live from his RV outside the courthouse, where he has spent weeks covering the trial and has developed an unlikely friendship with Lindsay Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington. Daniel takes Billy inside the daily scene surrounding the courthouse, his conversations with Reddington and how a true-crime fan with an RV suddenly found himself in the middle of one of the most closely watched trials in the country.

    Then Reddington himself makes news.

    Speaking with reporters outside court, Reddington says he is prepared to retry Lindsay Clancy immediately if the jury ultimately cannot reach a verdict. He unloads on the Commonwealth’s rebuttal experts, discusses Lindsay’s emotional state as she waits for the jury — and makes a striking comment about Lindsay having “false memories” that immediately catches Billy’s attention.

    Was Reddington simply explaining why he would oppose another round of psychiatric examinations in a retrial — or was the veteran defense attorney deliberately signaling something about what could come next?

    Billy breaks it down.

    Hot Mics favorite Joy Schmehar also joins the show to discuss the extraordinary community that has formed around the Clancy trial, the mental health issues the case has brought to the forefront and the growing crowds gathering outside the courthouse as everyone waits for a verdict.

    Plus, the fallout continues from the arrest of Dawn Light, the woman accused of filming jurors outside the courthouse — an incident serious enough that Judge Sullivan individually questioned members of the jury before allowing deliberations to continue.

    Six days of deliberations. A jury that has already reported being unable to reach a unanimous decision. The dynamite charge has now been delivered.

    Does this jury finally reach a verdict — or are we headed toward a mistrial?

    Subscribe to Hot Mics with Billy Bush as we continue following the Lindsay Clancy verdict watch.

    Chaos Outside The Courtroom At The Clancy Trial! The Lie Guy Looks at Pastor JP Miller and Mica's Attorney Speaks Sep 03, 2026
    Show notes

    The Lindsay Clancy jury remains deadlocked on Day 5 of deliberations — and the tension outside the Plymouth courthouse is building.

    NewsNation’s Brian Entin joins Billy Bush live from Massachusetts with the latest from verdict watch, including the bizarre arrest of a retired nurse accused of filming jurors, what happened when the judge questioned jurors individually, and what could happen next if the panel continues to say it cannot reach a unanimous decision.

    Billy and Brian break down the possibility of a Tuey-Rodriguez instruction, the competing theories about what may be happening inside the jury room, and whether this case is moving closer to a verdict — or a mistrial.

    Billy also examines the extraordinary public response to Lindsay Clancy attorney Kevin Reddington and why his relationship with his client has become such a powerful part of the story.

    The conversation then expands beyond the courtroom to the mental health system itself. A Hot Mics viewer who experienced postpartum psychosis shares her perspective and an idea for creating an AA-style peer-support network for people struggling with severe depression and suicidal ideation. Billy also opens up about his own experience with depression, suicidal thoughts and the support that helped him through one of the darkest periods of his life.

    Then, a major shift to another case dominating Netflix.

    Regina Ward, Mica Miller’s divorce attorney and one of the standout voices in Death of the Pastor’s Wife, joins Billy to reveal what Mica was telling her as she prepared to leave Pastor J.P. Miller. Ward describes Mica’s state of mind in the weeks before her death, the material Mica had gathered for their upcoming court battle, why Ward personally continues to question the circumstances surrounding Mica’s death, and what she believes South Carolina law failed to provide her client.

    Ward also discusses allegations of coercive control and stalking, the federal case against J.P. Miller, questions surrounding Mica’s mental health treatment, and her fight to strengthen South Carolina law through an effort she hopes will become known as “Mica’s Law.”

    It’s a packed edition of Hot Mics with Billy Bush: Lindsay Clancy verdict watch, Brian Entin live from the courthouse, a deeply personal conversation about mental health, and new insight into the Mica Miller story from the attorney who was preparing to fight for her in court.

    The greatest gas lighter!! The lie guy analyzes J. P. Miller Sep 03, 2026
    Show notes

    What does J.P. Miller’s interview reveal when it’s analyzed by a man who trains law enforcement officers how to conduct evidence-based interviews?

    Stan Walters — known as “The Lie Guy” — joins Billy Bush to break down NewsNation investigative journalist Rich McHugh’s extraordinary interview with J.P. Miller, the husband of Mica Miller and a central figure in Netflix’s Death of the Pastor’s Wife.

    Walters approaches the interview differently. Rather than relying on body language or claiming he can simply “spot a lie,” he examines the reliability of what J.P. actually says: the details he provides, the details he doesn’t, how he describes his marriage to Mica, his repeated focus on himself, and whether his account could be reconstructed and tested against evidence.

    Stan’s first major observation? Gaslighting.

    “He is the greatest gaslighter I’ve ever seen,” Walters tells Billy.

    Together, Billy and Stan examine J.P.’s claim that he and Mica had an almost “perfect” marriage, his description of Mica’s mental health, his response when asked what he would have done differently, and his striking announcement to his congregation following Mica’s death.

    They also examine what Stan considers one of the most important parts of any investigative interview: the subject’s ability to recall and explain critical moments. Why does J.P. appear unable to provide certain details surrounding the moment he learned Mica was dead? What should investigators look for when evaluating statements like these? And how do investigators work backward from forensic evidence rather than allowing behavior or appearances to determine their conclusions?

    Walters also explains why body language is an unreliable method of detecting deception — and why, as he puts it, “we can hear the truth better than we can see deception.”

    Mica Miller’s death was officially ruled a suicide. J.P. Miller has not been charged in connection with her death. The allegations concerning abuse and coercive control discussed in this episode remain allegations, and Walters makes clear that his analysis is not a determination that J.P. committed a crime.

    Watch as “The Lie Guy” puts one of the most talked-about interviews in the Mica Miller case under the microscope.
