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.

Spencer Pratt Isn't Done + Non-Citizen Voting Debate + Did Taylor Invite Blake? Jun 22, 2026

Show notes

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.
