With Capt. Bouncer SmithWhat happens when you weigh a 94-pound sailfish, turn it loose alive, and then go for the record? Capt. Bouncer Smith (@captbouncer), the legendary Miami fishing captain, tells Judd Rosen and Brett Rosen why he says the record was turned down, and what it shows about the rules for releasing fish. Bouncer has been a licensed captain since 1968 and has spent more than 54 years fishing Miami's waters. He is an IGFA Legendary Captains & Crews honoree (class of 2014), received the IGFA Conservation Award in 2018, and is credited by the IGFA with popularizing kite fishing in local waters. In this episode he goes back to his first sailfish at age 8, his job as the bait man on Sunny Isles Pier at 13, and the net boats that, he says, wiped out a Spanish mackerel run off Miami. He shares the "proudly ashamed" photo from his early trips to Flamingo, the Crunch and Des TV series that made him want to fish for a living, and a day on the water with the late Steve Cropper. Then he gets to the big questions: what he thinks hurt the ocean most, the three things he would tell the decision makers, the days when the Castaways docks were stacked with sailfish and hammerheads, and why he says the goliath grouper rules miss the real problem. Along the way: how a sixth-grade volleyball game gave him the name "Bouncer", the Easterseals charity trips he calls his most rewarding days on the water, how he learned kite fishing, why he says sharks now hear a boat engine as a food call, and the push to close fishing areas off Miami Beach.

Texas criminal defense attorney Jeremy Rosenthal, The Briefing Attorney (@briefingattorney), joins Judd Rosen and Brett Rosen to break down how trial lawyers get inside a jury's head. Jeremy is a founding partner of Texas Defense Firm in McKinney, Texas, and a former Collin County prosecutor. Hundreds of thousands of people follow his one-tip-at-a-time videos for lawyers.

Monica shares the exact moment she realized she needed to step out of her "zone of excellence" as an equity partner and step into her "zone of genius" by sharing trial strategies online. The conversation explores the development of her universal trial prep system, an interactive framework designed to organize everything from pretrial motions to jury selection and witness mapping. We also dive into the evolving role of AI in the courtroom, why opening statements are the most underrated phase of a trial, and how to properly frame bad facts for a jury. The hosts share their own experiences, including the Willie Perry case, highlighting the critical importance of accepting and addressing unfavorable evidence before the defense can leverage it. Finally, we discuss the genius of Mark Lanier's roadmap strategy and Monica breaks down the profound impact of Brian Panish’s legendary closing argument in the Iskander case. Key Takeaways: The Zone of Genius: Why leaning into the aspects of your career that genuinely light you up is more fulfilling than simply chasing the next milestone. Trial Organization: How a structured, universal prep system prevents the last-minute chaos of trial preparation and forces attorneys to strategically map out their necessary witnesses and exhibits. The Threat of AI: Why relying on AI for closing arguments and cross-examinations strips away the vital human connection needed to persuade real jurors with real emotions. Owning Bad Facts: Lessons from the Willie Perry case on how addressing client drug use or medical complications immediately in opening statements preserves attorney credibility. Proving Damages: How Mark Lanier's trial roadmapping and Brian Panish's approach to foreseeing what a plaintiff had are the most effective ways for a jury to truly understand what was lost.

Peter’s story is the absolute definition of the American Dream, but it starts in a place you would never expect. Peter recounts his arrival in the U.S. during the Mariel Boatlift and his time being processed at a refugee camp in the middle of the Arkansas woods. One night, the KKK arrived in white robes and hoods to intimidate the refugees. But instead of fear, the Cubans reacted with confusion and amusement. As Peter tells it: "The Cubans got excited... hey, they brought us clowns!". Peter shares the incredible true story of how that night ended not with violence against the refugees, but with the Klan abandoning their golf carts and running into the woods to escape a crowd of Cubans armed with sticks. Beyond this legendary story, we dive deep into Peter’s legal career and his philosophy on justice, including: The "Sun and Moon" Strategy: How he blindsides the defense with arguments they can't predict. The Unwinnable Cases: Why he bet it all on the Engle tobacco cases and complex maritime injuries. The "Chicken Wire" Surgery: The medical malpractice case that defined his commitment to his clients. Caring for the Client: The story of Mr. Tirtayasa and the fight for an injured crew member’s dignity.

In this episode, we are joined by a special member of the Goldberg & Rosen family: former Miami Hurricanes and NFL running back, Mike James. Before he was rushing for 150+ yards against the Seahawks, Mike was actually a summer intern at our law firm—battling us in 6:00 AM spin classes and learning the corporate ropes. Mike takes us inside the intense world of college football practice (including a hilarious story about a teammate getting "jumped" by one person), breaks down the physical toll of the NFL, and opens up about the injury that changed his life forever. We also dive deep into the serious side of sports law and medicine. Mike shares his journey from opioid dependency to becoming the first NFL player to file for a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) for cannabis. We discuss the current state of NFL drug policies, his work with the Lion Order movement, and the research being done right here at the University of Miami on psychedelics and holistic pain management. In this episode, we cover: [00:00] Intro: From the G&R mailroom to the NFL backfield. [05:30] "Inside Run" & War Stories: Why practice at The U was harder than the games. [12:15] The Injury: Breaking an ankle and the "dark side" of painkillers. [22:40] The Lawsuit: Challenging the NFL's drug policy and filing for a TUE.
