Maddie the Surfer Girl officially takes the hosting chair while Attorney Patrick Smith is in New York (and pulls off a perfect technical-difficulty prank on her). In this special episode she walks the entire crew — and a very reluctant Spike — through the full journey of becoming a lawyer: LSAT accommodations under the ADA, anti-discrimination rules in admissions, the unauthorized practice of law, the bar exam, character-and-fitness requirements, and the laws of getting (and keeping) your first legal job.

Spike somehow survives the hypothetical process and even gets “hired,” while the banter covers age discrimination, interview questions you can’t ask, Toys “R” Us nostalgia, touchless airport security, and why Maddie already had a job with Patrick before law school.

Surf’s Up delivers Florida’s newly passed Amendment 3 (big homestead tax relief) and a heartbreaking child-neglect case, plus a Taylor Swift vs. Shakespeare quote quiz that the guys mostly survive.

Funny, educational, and pure radio gold. Real law. Real stories. Real fun. Call 800-771-1025 (or the office Monday at 844-PATRICK). Heart and soul on the airwaves — stay safe, God bless, and Go Gators!

Maddie Takes the Host Seat: Laws of Law School, Getting Hired & Spike’s Accidental Legal Career

Happy Halloween from the Attorney Patrick Smith Show! Dressed as Justin Bieber (complete with Gen Z slang), Patrick hard-launches a special alert on undue influence after seeing a surge of cases — don’t drag your parents into the office to rewrite the will, folks. That’s totes delulu.

Then it’s Part 2 of the Laws of Haunted Houses: commercial attractions, premises liability, assumption of risk, fire codes, and real injury cases from chainsaw scares to second-story “beast jumps.” Plus the rules at Howl-O-Scream and Halloween Horror Nights (no touching actors, Deathly Afraid lanyards, and what happens if you hit a scare actor with a plastic axe… looking at you, 13-year-old Maddie).

Surf’s Up delivers pure Halloween chaos: a haunted-house supervisor assault, Brewers fans fighting for World Series seats after buying “timeless tickets,” a murder suspect willing to plead guilty for a Philly cheesesteak, and a Tiffany thief who swallowed $760k in diamond earrings.

Costumes, callers, Representative Josie Tomko’s stump speech, and sports predictions round out the spookiest (and funniest) hour on the radio. Real law. Real scares. Real fun. Call 800-771-1025. Heart and soul on the airwaves — stay safe, God bless, and Go Gators!

Happy Halloween: Laws of Haunted Houses Part 2, Undue Influence Alerts & Justin Bieber Energy

On this episode of The Attorney Patrick Smith Show, host Attorney Patrick Smith celebrates Isaiah’s 38th birthday and debuts a special visual element: co-host Maddie the Surfer Girl broadcasting live from her dorm room at Stetson University in Volusia County on Bone TV.

After a quick recap of Patrick’s recent New York City trip (Broadway’s Paranormal Activity and The Lost Boys, plus the three-Michelin-star dining at 11 Madison Park), the crew follows up on a prior aftershow question and confirms that reptiles generally cannot fly as emotional support animals under current DOT rules—only trained service dogs (and, in limited cases, miniature horses) are required to be accommodated.

The main feature is Part 1 of a two-part Halloween series on the laws of haunted houses, focusing on real estate disclosure rules for “stigmatized properties.” Patrick walks through the famous New York “Ghostbusters” ruling in Stambovsky v. Ackley (where a house was declared haunted as a matter of law after the seller publicized its ghosts), contrasts approaches in states like New Jersey, California (Reed v. King), Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Florida (where Statute 689.25 generally exempts psychological stigmas, deaths, and paranormal claims from mandatory disclosure, though sellers cannot actively lie if asked and must still reveal physical defects), and shares personal ghost stories from the crew along with a tour of famous haunted homes.

Maddie’s “Surfs Up” segment delivers additional legal headlines, including an emotional-support alligator lawsuit, a haunted attraction’s safety fight, a nude “art” incident, fake Moroccan diplomat sovereign citizens, and a law-enforcement impersonator. The hour wraps with sports predictions and a reminder to tune in next week for Part 2 on commercial haunted-house attraction safety codes. Callers are invited at 800-771-1025.

Ghosts, Gators & Disclosure Laws: Part 1 of the Haunted Houses Series

Attorney Patrick Smith and the full crew (Isaiah freshly back from Italy, Spike on the mic, and Maddie the Surfer Girl) dive into one of the most emotional topics in family law: Florida grandparents’ visitation rights. Spoiler — grandparents do not have automatic rights. The show breaks down the narrow exceptions under Florida Statute 752.011, the constitutional privacy rights of fit parents, the “best interest of the child” standard, and the classic question: if we give grandparents guaranteed access, where does the line stop with aunts, uncles, and adult siblings?

Also this week:
A listener email deep-dive into reptile smuggling inspired by the HBO series Monsters of God (Tiger King… but with lizards)
Lacey Act federal charges, Florida’s prohibited invasive species rules, and why sewing birds into underwear (or packing 200 lizards in socks) is a very bad idea
Model Senate venue chaos and a last-minute save at Half Wall
A grandmother who allegedly impersonated a social worker to kidnap her own grandson
The shortest-ever White House press secretary tenure and a bar-exam fail story

Plus the usual free-trust-package promo, sports predictions, and pure radio banter. Real law, real stories, real fun. Call 800-771-1025. Heart and soul on the airwaves — stay safe, God bless, and Go Gators!

Grandparents’ Rights, Lizard Socks & Monsters of God: Florida Visitation Laws

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 challenged to 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!

LIVE from Oktoberfest 2026 - Challenges, Free Trust Packages and Beach Beautification

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!

Illegal Searches, Dead Lawyers & Botched Executions: Fourth Amendment Deep Dive

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.

The Laws of Uber: Vomiting Fees, Highway Hostages & $40 Million Judgments

Happy Fifth Anniversary! Attorney Patrick Smith and the full crew — Isaiah the Magnificent (fresh off a national SBE Best Communicator Award), Spike on the mic, and Maddie the Surfer Girl — celebrate five years of real law and real fun with a special reunion-filled episode.

Old friends call in to toast the milestone: Vern (the original Sun City Center board op), Yana the Bella Russian producer (the one who set the bar impossibly high), and Brother John with heartfelt praise and neighborhood stories.

The main event? The $17 million Ohana Estate beach fence controversy on Longboat Key. When storm erosion wiped out the public pathway around a properly permitted private seawall, who yields — property rights or public beach access? Patrick digs into the messy legal battle of fences, erosion, and “son of a beach” dilemmas.

Plus: a deep dive into the bipartisan Protect College Sports Act (NIL rules, free transfers, 10-year scholarships, and agent fee caps), Surf’s Up stories featuring a Backstreet Boy suing over beach trespassers, a wrongfully arrested woman thanks to Flock cameras, and another sovereign citizen trying (and failing) to put liens on judges.

Five Years Strong: Ohana Estate Beach Fence Wars, Protect College Sports & Backstreet Boys Beach Drama

Attorney Patrick Smith saddles up for one of the most intense (and strangely entertaining) hours yet — diving deep into the laws of execution in Florida, complete with Toby Keith’s “Beer for My Horses” as the perfect outlaw soundtrack.

From lethal injection as the default method to the infamous “Old Sparky” electrocution era (and its very public malfunctions involving flames, bleeding, and synthetic sponges), Patrick and the full crew — Isaiah the Magnificent, Spike on the mic, and Maddie the Surfer Girl (dialing in from her Stetson dorm with the “Stetson plague”) — break down everything you need to know:
Where executions happen (tiny Raiford, population 224 not counting inmates)
How to (legally) become a witness
Last-meal rules ($40 max, no fast food, no alcohol — sorry, Maddie)
Florida’s record-setting execution pace

Plus: Lexi the Intern (Hall of Fame inductee) calls in with her jaw-dropping 126 MPRE score and wedding news; a follow-up on shopkeeper’s privilege (Target, Walmart, and Publix’s “premier customer service” approach); wild Surf’s Up stories including a Texas inmate who died of a shellfish allergy before his execution; the new Indian Rocks Beach smoking ban; and the usual Gators and Bucs predictions.

Real law. Real history. Real radio. Call 800-771-1025 with your questions and tune in next week for the 5th anniversary show. Heart and soul on the airwaves — stay safe, God bless, and Go Gators!

Whiskey for My Men, Beer for My Horses & Old Sparky’s Greatest Hits: The Laws of Execution 

On this Labor Day weekend edition of The Attorney Patrick Smith Show, Attorney Patrick Smith returns to the host chair after Maddie the Surfer Girl’s highly rated guest-hosting episode and dives deep into the laws of citizens arrest in Florida.

Learn when a private citizen can legally detain someone (felonies with probable cause or misdemeanors that breach the peace witnessed in your presence), the serious risks of false imprisonment, and the important limitations — including the fact that you cannot pull someone over for a civil traffic violation. Patrick also covers Florida’s shopkeeper’s privilege for retail theft and examines real-world examples, from the Ahmaud Arbery case to viral sovereign-citizen attempts to “arrest” judges and officials.

Plus:
Major update on Flock cameras: Governor DeSantis orders their removal from Florida state highways
Estate-planning reminders about reviewing old documents and transparent pricing
Surf’s Up with Maddie covering the Lindsay Clancy mistrial, a college athlete gambling scandal, and a Georgia judge who had an attorney arrested for being late
Listener calls and the usual studio banter with Isaiah, Spike, and Maddie calling in from her dorm

Practical legal knowledge mixed with the show’s signature humor and real-world stories.
