We’re back, baby! After last year’s storm cancellation, Attorney Patrick Smith, Maddie the Surfer Girl, and the crew go live from Cole Park in Indian Rocks Beach for Action 2000’s 25th annual Oktoberfest.

Paul Sagami, president of the community nonprofit, joins to share how the event funds landscaping, bus stops, and the charm that makes Indian Rocks Beach special. Then comes the ultimate surprise: Maddie (fresh off all-A midterms and a 4.01 GPA) is blindfolded and forced to taste six beers on air. Guess just one German brew correctly and a lucky listener wins a free $695 trust package. Denise scores with Paulaner Hefeweizen; Chris takes home another with a non-German Modelo.

Senator Nick DiCeglie calls in from the campaign trail, Surf’s Up delivers bird-smuggling underwear stories, deputy database scandals, and the latest on Krista Pike’s recovery, and the first 100 visitors to the tent get exclusive show stickers.

Real law, real beer, real radio — live from Oktoberfest. Heart and soul on the airwaves. Stay safe, God bless, and Go Gators!

Attorney Patrick Smith and the full crew dig into two of the most practical (and slightly morbid) legal questions of the week: illegal searches and seizures under the Fourth Amendment, and what actually happens to your case—and your lawyer’s staff—if your attorney dies.

From landmark cases (Mapp, Katz, Weeks, Carpenter) and the exclusionary rule to Florida’s inventory-attorney requirements and the hilarious sealed envelopes Patrick’s own staff wrote about their “immediate action items” if he kicked the bucket, this episode is pure radio gold.

Isaiah gets an update on the botched Tennessee execution he almost witnessed, Jeff Deardorff of the Yankees organization stops by to plug free high-school baseball at TD Ballpark, and Surf’s Up with Maddie the Surfer Girl brings the latest on Krista Pike’s failed lethal injection, a Cornell fraternity civil suit, and a warrantless blood-vial grab that finally got tossed.

Plus the usual caller questions, Uber shedding-fee follow-ups, Oktoberfest remote-broadcast plans, and sports predictions. Real law, real stories, real fun. Call 800-771-1025. Heart and soul on the airwaves—stay safe, God bless, and Go Gators!

Attorney Patrick Smith takes the wheel for a wild ride through the laws of Uber (and Lyft) — from Florida’s three-phase rideshare insurance rules and million-dollar liability coverage to the infamous cleaning fees that hit when someone spills chili, tracks in soil… or worse. Isaiah (a real-life Uber driver) shares his own war stories of passengers who refused to clean up, while the crew debates everything from service animals and weapons bans to what happens when a driver leaves you stranded after a messy situation.

Surf’s Up with Maddie the Surfer Girl delivers the heavy hitters: a $40 million arbitration award after a young woman was left by an Uber driver and killed, an alleged nine-hour hostage situation involving an Uber driver in Los Angeles, and Indian Rocks Beach doubling short-term rental fees (cue the next round of lawsuits).

Plus first-time caller Barbara needs help with a mesothelioma settlement check, an EIN, and maybe a date… while the usual banter covers Abby’s upcoming blind date, Spike’s janitorial duties, shirtless neighborhood runs, and cold-weather Florida complaints.

Real law. Real stories. Real radio. Call 800-771-1025 with your questions. Heart and soul on the airwaves — stay safe, God bless, and Go Gators!
