    Only Lawsuits Ep. 53: The SS United States, Airboats & the Midterms

    In Episode 53 of Only Lawsuits, Mike and Josh welcome boat captain, pilot and entrepreneur Eli Abernathy to the show. The conversation covers the final voyage of the SS United States, what really separates an offshore boat from an airboat, and a quick look at the midterm elections, including the data center and AI questions that showed up on ballots across the country. This episode dives into: The Sinking of the SS United States – Once the fastest ocean liner ever to cross the Atlantic, the SS United States is headed to the bottom of the Gulf off Destin, Florida, where it will become the world’s largest artificial reef. With a captain at the table, the guys talk about the ship’s legacy and what it takes to send a vessel of that size to the seafloor. Offshore Boats vs. Airboats – Two very different machines built for two very different kinds of water. Eli breaks down how offshore boats and airboats compare: how they’re built, how they handle, and where each one belongs. The Midterms, Data Centers and AI – Recorded just before Election Day (which has now come and gone), the episode takes a brief look at the midterms and at what was on the ballot. Data centers and AI became a real local issue this cycle, with dozens of communities asking voters whether to limit or allow new data center development amid concerns over electricity costs and water use. From a legendary ocean liner’s last dive to airboats skimming the shallows to data centers on the ballot, Episode 53 covers a lot of ground, and a lot of water. 🎙️ Only Lawsuits – Real talk about the law, business, politics, and the world around us.

    Only Lawsuits Ep. 52: Josh’s Engagement, France’s Protests & the Tesla Roadster

    In Episode 52 of Only Lawsuits, Josh and Mike celebrate Josh’s engagement, share how they really feel about events and cover the economic unrest in France, how AI is changing the workplace, and Tesla’s long-awaited Roadster reveal. This episode dives into: Josh Popped the Question – Josh is officially an engaged man. He tells the story behind the proposal, and with a wedding on the horizon, the guys get honest about how they feel about events in general: networking nights, galas, work parties and weddings, which ones are worth showing up for, and which ones they’d rather skip. France and the Economy – Protests have swept France over the rising cost of living and cuts to public services, including a nationwide public-sector strike against the government’s proposed 2027 budget. With the unrest spreading to Belgium, Italy and Portugal and a presidential election six months away, the guys zoom out to the bigger picture: what’s fueling the economic anxiety, how uncertain things really are, and what it could mean for the broader global economy. AI in the Workplace – AI is already changing how work gets done. Josh and Mike talk about how fast the workplace is shifting and why anyone starting a new job should know at least the basics of AI before day one. The Tesla Roadster Reveal – Tesla finally unveiled its long-delayed Roadster at a launch event in Waco, Texas, more than a decade after first showing a next-generation version, with production targeted for 2028. The reaction split fast: some called it the wildest car reveal in a decade, while others dismissed it as an expensive magic trick with no reliable delivery date. The guys give their own first reactions and talk about what it’s really like to drive electric. From an engagement ring to the streets of Paris to a car that can leave the ground, Episode 52 is all about big moves: personal, economic, and technological. 🎙️ Only Lawsuits – Real talk about the law, business, politics, and the world around us.

    Only Lawsuits Ep. 51: Ilhan Omar, Kimberly Guilfoyle & the Fort Hood Execution

    In Episode 51 of Only Lawsuits, Josh and Mike cover the federal investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar, Kimberly Guilfoyle’s ouster as ambassador to Greece, and the plan to livestream the execution of the Fort Hood shooter. This episode dives into: The Ilhan Omar Investigation – Federal agents searched Omar’s D.C.-area home on October 12, weeks before a midterm in which she’s seeking reelection. The probe reportedly centers on whether she or her late father lied on decades-old immigration paperwork, and prosecutors have issued more than a dozen grand jury subpoenas, including to relatives. Omar hasn’t been charged and calls the search an attempt to weaponize federal law enforcement against political enemies. Both Sides of the Aisle – Democratic leaders called the raid “deeply disturbing.” Republicans counter that a judge found probable cause and that many of the same Democrats said no one was above the law after the 2022 Mar-a-Lago search. Josh and Mike break down what a warrant does and doesn’t prove, and where investigation ends and political targeting begins. Kimberly Guilfoyle Out in Greece – The White House asked Guilfoyle, Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-fiancée, to resign on October 13 after Wall Street Journal reports that she promoted a Greek construction firm, took luxury trips funded by Greek tycoons, and asked a Trump donor to cover a $100,000 credit card bill in exchange for access. The State Department’s inspector general is investigating, and Guilfoyle denies wrongdoing. The guys dig into the ethics rules for ambassadors and whether resignation ends the matter. The Execution They Wanted America to Watch – Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced plans to livestream Nidal Hasan’s December 3 firing-squad execution at Fort Hood, which would be the first public execution in the U.S. in nearly a century. Josh and Mike debate whether broadcasting it is humane, what it means for kids who might see it, whether it violates the Eighth Amendment, and whether it would deter crime or desensitize the country. Update: Since this episode was recorded on October 14, President Trump announced on October 15 that the execution would not be livestreamed. It’s still scheduled for December 3. From a congresswoman’s immigration paperwork to an ambassador’s private jets to an execution the government wanted on screen, Episode 51 asks who gets held accountable and how much of justice the public should see. 🎙️ Only Lawsuits – Real talk about the law, business, politics, and the world around us.

    Only Lawsuits Ep. 50: Rick Ross, Polk Bus Crash, Amendment 3 & the Cornell 7

    In Episode 50 of Only Lawsuits, Mike and Mario Cecilio take the mic while Josh and Farah are out, covering Rick Ross’ arrest, a deadly Polk County bus crash, Florida’s Amendment 3 and the Cornell 7 case. This episode dives into: Rick Ross’ Arrest in Miami Beach – Rick Ross surrendered to police October 1 and was charged with felony battery by strangulation and misdemeanor battery after his ex-girlfriend accused him of attacking her. Ross has pleaded not guilty, and his lawyers note police weren’t contacted until a month after the alleged incident. Mike and Mario discuss what separates a felony strangulation charge from simple battery, how allegations aired on social media can shape a case, and whether celebrity helps or hurts a defendant in court. The Deadly Polk County School Bus Crash – The sheriff says a car crossed the center line before sunrise and hit a school bus carrying 37 Winter Haven High School students, sending it head-on into a Jeep. A 10th-grade student on the bus and a person in the Jeep were killed, and several others were hospitalized. The guys discuss who is responsible when a crash starts with another driver, what duty a school district owes students in its care, and what families can expect next. Florida’s Amendment 3 – Mike and Mario break down the property tax measure on the November 3 ballot. It would raise the homestead exemption for non-school property taxes to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028, and limit how local governments spend property taxes. It needs 60% of the vote to pass, and its ballot language was rewritten after a judge called it misleading. Who Really Pays for Lower Property Taxes? – Supporters say homeowners deserve relief. Critics warn of lost revenue for roads, first responders and other local services. Mike and Mario weigh whether it’s overdue relief or a shifted burden, and what it means for renters, businesses and local budgets. The Cornell 7 Case – A former student identified as Jane Doe is suing Cornell, seven former Chi Phi members and others, alleging she was sexually assaulted at the fraternity house in October 2024. No criminal charges were filed at the time, and the lawsuit claims the university’s disciplinary process let some of the accused write essays. The DA has reopened the case for a grand jury, while noting the lawsuit’s account differs from what she told police in 2024. None of the men have been charged. Mike and Mario discuss the gap between a campus Title IX process and a criminal prosecution, how a civil suit can pressure prosecutors, and when a university is responsible for what happens under its watch. From a high-profile arrest and a tragic crash to Florida’s property tax fight and a reopened campus case, Episode 50 looks at how accountability is decided: in courtrooms, at the ballot box and inside the institutions we trust. 🎙️ Only Lawsuits – Real talk about the law, business, politics, and the world around us.

    Only Lawsuits Ep. 49: Barry University Lawsuit, Glen-Peter Ahlers & Meta’s $17B Settlement

    In Episode 49 of Only Lawsuits, Josh and Mike are joined once again by Mario Cecilio for a conversation about institutional responsibility, the lawsuit involving former Barry University law professor Glen-Peter Ahlers, and Meta’s massive multistate settlement over social media addiction and youth safety. This episode dives into: Barry University & the Glen-Peter Ahlers Lawsuit – The team discusses the lawsuit involving Barry University and former law professor Glen-Peter Ahlers. Ahlers was arrested in February and charged with 50 counts related to the alleged possession of child sexual abuse material. A former student has also sued Barry and Ahlers after police alleged that he attempted to secretly photograph her during class. Ahlers also faces a separate video voyeurism charge. The bigger question is: When can an institution be held responsible for the alleged actions of one of its employees? Josh, Mike and Mario discuss whether Barry should have uncovered potential warning signs, how thorough employers should be when hiring people for positions of trust, and how negligent hiring or supervision claims could come into play if the allegations are proven. Meta’s $17.1 Billion Settlement – The conversation then turns to Meta’s landmark multistate settlement involving Facebook and Instagram. Meta agreed to pay up to $17.1 billion and implement new child-safety measures to resolve allegations that its platforms used addictive features, exposed young users to harmful content, and misled the public about certain risks. Meta did not admit wrongdoing. How Much Responsibility Does Meta Bear? – The team debates how much responsibility social media companies should have for the way their platforms affect children and teenagers. Are algorithms simply giving users more of what they engage with, or are platforms intentionally designed to keep people scrolling? The discussion explores addictive design, algorithm-driven content, youth exposure, parental controls, age verification, and whether stronger safeguards should become the industry standard. From university accountability and employee vetting to social media addiction and Big Tech responsibility, Episode 49 asks where personal responsibility ends and institutional responsibility begins. 🎙️ Only Lawsuits – Real talk about the law, business, politics, and the world around us.

    Only Lawsuits Ep. 48: Jorge Malavet on Government Trust, Taxpayer Spending & Veteran Care

    In Episode 48 of Only Lawsuits, Mike, Josh, and Farah welcome Jorge Malavet, candidate for Florida House District 43, for a conversation about the upcoming election, government transparency, taxpayer spending and veteran care. With the primaries leading into the general election, the team focuses on the issues that could matter most to Central Florida voters. This episode dives into: From the Primaries to the General Election – Jorge discusses the political landscape heading into the general election, what voters are paying attention to and why trust and transparency remain major concerns in government. Government Spending & the Dr. Phillips Center – The team looks at the significant public and private investment behind Orlando’s Dr. Phillips Center and asks a broader question: Are taxpayer dollars being prioritized in the right places? With Central Florida still facing challenges involving infrastructure, housing, transportation, and public services, the group discusses how elected officials should approach major spending decisions. What Matters to Voters? – The conversation turns to the issues people are feeling every day, including affordability, education, public safety, infrastructure, and confidence in government. The team also discusses the gap between national political headlines and the concerns voters experience in their own communities. Veteran Care in Central Florida – As a veteran, Jorge shares his perspective on the challenges facing veterans seeking healthcare and support through the VA system. The team discusses overcrowded facilities, access to care, and the need for additional resources in Central Florida and across the country. From elections and government accountability to public spending and veteran care, Episode 48 asks a simple question: What should voters expect from the people they elect to represent them? 🎙️ Only Lawsuits – Real talk about the law, business, politics, and the world around us.

    Only Lawsuits Ep. 47: Rajan Joshi on Murder Defense, Lindsay Clancy & Florida’s Super Speeder Law

    In Episode 47 of Only Lawsuits, Josh, Mike, and Farah welcome back Rajan Joshi, one of Florida’s top criminal defense attorneys, for a deeper conversation about murder cases, media pressure, insanity defenses and what really goes into defending someone facing the most serious charges imaginable. This episode dives into: Defending a Murder Case – Rajan explains what an experienced criminal defense attorney looks for when representing someone charged with murder. Playing devil’s advocate, the team explores how a defense lawyer evaluates evidence, looks for weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, challenges assumptions, and separates emotion from what can actually be proven in court. The Media vs. the Courtroom – What happens when a criminal case becomes national news before a jury ever hears the evidence? Rajan discusses how media coverage, social media, viral clips, and public commentary can shape perceptions long before a trial begins. The team looks at the difference between the court of law and the court of public opinion, how attorneys handle highly publicized cases and whether jurors can ever enter a courtroom without already forming an opinion. The Lindsay Clancy Case & the Insanity Defense – The conversation turns to the Lindsay Clancy case and the use of an insanity defense in murder prosecutions. The team discusses what an insanity plea actually means, how mental state can become central to a criminal case and how courts balance criminal responsibility with serious mental illness. They also examine similar cases and one of the most difficult questions surrounding these verdicts: What does justice look like for the families affected when a defendant is found not criminally responsible in the traditional sense? The discussion explores the tension between punishment, mental health, accountability and the emotional reality faced by victims’ families. Florida’s Super Speeder Law – The episode shifts to Florida’s tougher approach to extreme speeding and what drivers need to understand about the consequences of driving at dangerous speeds. Rajan gives his perspective on traffic stops, how drivers should handle interactions with law enforcement, what not to do when being pulled over and why those first few minutes can matter later. From defending murder cases and navigating the court of public opinion to insanity defenses and Florida cracking down on extreme speeding, Episode 47 offers an inside look at criminal defense from someone who handles these issues in the real world. 🎙️ Only Lawsuits – Real talk about the law, business, politics, and the world around us.

    Only Lawsuits Ep. 46: The Bar Exam, Florida Dive Air Case & Piracy’s Comeback

    In Episode 46 of Only Lawsuits, Josh, Mike and Farah welcome back Mario Cecilio after taking the last few months away from the show to study for and ultimately take the Bar Exam. Mario returns with plenty to talk about, starting with what the Bar Exam experience is actually like before the conversation turns to one of Florida’s wildest recent boating stories and the surprising resurgence of piracy. This episode dives into: Mario Returns & Taking the Bar Exam – After months of studying, preparation, and putting life on hold, Mario is officially back. The team talks about his experience preparing for the Bar Exam, what the actual test was like, the pressure surrounding it, and whether months of studying can ever truly make someone feel prepared when exam day finally arrives. The Florida Lobster-Diving Dispute – The team breaks down a bizarre South Florida case involving a dispute over a lobster-diving spot near Fisher Island. Authorities allege that 51-year-old Michael Joseph Simpson Jr. intentionally shut off the surface-supplied air system being used by an 18-year-old diver underwater after an argument over who had the right to the spot. The diver was reportedly pulled to the surface gasping and disoriented, while Simpson has denied the allegations through his attorney. The conversation gets into the potential criminal consequences, what prosecutors would need to establish, how intent becomes critical in a case like this, and just how quickly an argument on the water can turn into an extremely serious criminal accusation. Is Piracy Making a Comeback? – Piracy seemed like something the internet had started leaving behind—but is it becoming popular again? The team discusses why people are increasingly turning back toward piracy, how streaming fragmentation, rising subscription costs, disappearing content, and digital ownership have changed the conversation, and where the line sits between consumer frustration and simply taking something you haven't paid for. From surviving the Bar Exam to an unbelievable confrontation on the water and the return of piracy, Episode 46 covers three completely different subjects with the kind of conversation, debate, and legal insight you expect from Only Lawsuits. 🎙️ Only Lawsuits – Real talk about the law, business, politics, and the world around us.
