AFTER 2.5 YEARS OF REQUESTING HIS HONORABLE PRESENCE- Judge J Middleton agreed to come on my show. When the pandemic hit, many courts went to "Zoom' style hearings and Judge Middleton secured a channel and his town/court system secured "Zoom Licenses" not in anticipation for the shutdown, but ready to go, nonetheless. After some great (or terrible) viral cases, Middleton became a Rock Star Judge. My thoughts are he was/is Fair and Firm. The guy you respect but don't want to be in front of. His court cases have been seen by A&E Court Cam and many other shows due to the sporadic events that can and will happen during a court case. I fell in love with him and his laid-back demeanor, his classic rock vibe as he sang songs while he launched his stream. This is the first of NONE- with respect to interviews and I feel we hit some very common questions and answers that perhaps we're all thinking during many of these cases. We also hit on Sov Cits and much more.
Enjoy this exclusive interview with the almighty Judge Jeffery C Middleton -

57:15 END OF SHOW CREDITS AND INFORMATION -
I recently saw a post about a customer who went to a restaurant in Minnesota noting the questionable "Health and Wellness" charge. I called the restaurant to find out why there were charging this rate and I'm certain you can guess how they justified it. We also find out what a "Frickle" is and discuss my recent experience at Rock N Brews at LAX where Gene and Paul are tossing in a 20% tip on overpriced beers!
On This That and the Other, we dive deep into this massive scandal! :)

In Light of Founding Guitarist WAYNE SWINNY of Saliva, who passed away today 03/22/2023, I wanted to upload and share his final in person interview for radio; along w/ singer of 12 Years, Bobby Amaru whom invited me out to chat and see their show with their new drummer on Fremont Street in Las Vegas.
We will all miss Wayne whom I had the pleasure to tour with in 2018 quite extensively when I was in Tantric. I send love and light to their fans, bandmates and of course his family.
He was 59.

Over the past year or so, I've kept up w/ ANDY DICK (NEWS RADIO, ZOOLANDER, EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH, DANCING WITH THE STARS). TTTO donated some money when he was apparently down and out, and a strange "Friendship" (if you will) began.
We hadn't spoken to Andy since March (https://www.podcasts.com/this-that-the-other-radio-show-with-troy-patrick-farrell-9875be9a7/episode/03022022-ttto-andy-dick-update) and when news broke of his jail sentence, I thought I'd reach out to see how he was doing and what is in store for him post jail. (Andy Dick sentenced to 90 days in jail in groping case, must register as sex offender (msn.com))
We chatted for more than 10 minutes before he whisked himself away after asking for me to call him back "in an hour".
Check out this exclusive update. -
In light of recent publicity regarding the Sweden Rock Festival 2022 and the KINGDOM COME Performance, Drummer James Kottak addresses allegations of "being drunk".He reveals why they had the performance they did. Gave his status on drinking, and update on his relationship with the Scorpions and we discuss "Bass Solo's" at length. (well, not really)
