Gurvey's Law

Alan and special guest host Jillian Barberie spoke with Dodgers blue baseball legend Ron Cey, getting up close and personal with “the Penguin”.  Alan and Jillian got the six-time All-Star and World Series MVP’s reactions to the Dodger’s 2020 World Series win, the drama surrounding Justin Turner’s participation in the victory celebration, analysis of this year’s Hall of Fame candidates, and thoughts on how the MLB and sports, in general, have handled the pandemic.

With the election now (seemingly) over, Alan Gurvey and special guest host, tv and radio personality, Jillian Barberie, turned their attention to the real important stuff...dating, relationships, and friendships in a socially distant world. Lawyer turned dating expert Candace Smith from Bravo's “The Millionaire Matchmaker” discussed the do's and don’ts of romance during the pandemic. Or, perhaps, more aptly put, how you can hook up while still social distancing!  Then, in the second half-hour, psychologist Ryan Howes explained how to stay focused and relatively sane at work and at home during this new (but quickly getting old) normal.

Alan Gurvey and guest host Elisha Krauss, formerly co-host with Ben Shapiro, weighed-in on the 2020 election and the past chaotic week! Elisha discussed her experience covering the election for Daily Wire and talked about her career as a conservative media host, wife, and mother. Later, Hofstra University law professor, James Sample, joined Alan and Elisha to banter about the voting process, what we can expect from here on in, and the lawsuits President Donald J. Trump has filed. Don't miss Gurvey's Law on Sundays, at 5 PM (PST) on KABC-AM 790 TalkRadio and streaming live at kabc.com!

Alan welcomed special guest host Ben Meiselas, Colin Kaepernick's attorney, and now SiriusXM talk show personality to share the mic with him (distanced of course). Alan and Ben talked to law professor, filmmaker and author Joel Bakan, about his book turned film, "The New Corporation." It's an unflinching look at the way corporations have rebranded themselves as socially conscious entities ready to tackle society's problems, while CEO compensation soars, income inequality is at all-time highs, and democratic institutions sit in a precarious situation. In the second half-hour, the dynamic duo chats with Casey Cep, whose new book "Furious Hours" details the last trial of Harper Lee, the writer behind "To Kill a Mockingbird." While the nation gears up for the election, Gurvey’s Law will distract you with some interesting book talk… Don't miss Gurveys Law on Sundays, at 5 p.m. Pacific time on KABC-AM 790 TalkRadio and streaming live on kabc.com!

What's it like to be around the President of the United States? Well, maybe that all depends on which side you're on! Last weekend Alan Gurvey and guest host, attorney Troy Slaten, took a fair and balanced look inside President Donald J. Trump's inner circle. During the first half-hour, President Trump’s former personal secretary Madeleine Westerhout provided a fascinating look at what it was like being shoulder to shoulder with the President as she documented in her new book, "Off the Record: My Dream Job at the White House, How I Lost It, and What I Learned." Madeleine shared the highs and lows of what many would call a life-changing experience, and answered the burning question… ”Who is she voting for”?  Later in the show, Alan and Troy talked about the psychology behind the President’s rallies with Carl Hoffman, who wrote the new book, "Liar's Circus: A Strange and Terrifying Journey Into the Upside-Down World of Trump's MAGA Rallies."

Guest co-host Jillian Barberie returned to KABC last weekend to discuss her recovery from breast cancer, her podcast Ask Jillian, and what life has been like since leaving talk radio last year. Jillian dusted off her award-winning interview skills, joining Gurvey’s Law host Alan Gurvey as they talked to Lisa Novick Goldberg, the author of “The Apple and the Shady Tree: The Mafia, My Family and Me”, unmasking the compelling story of Lisa’s life, growing up with a father so closely associated with the mob.

As an era ends with the departure of Kerri Kasem, Alan welcomed FOX Sports Radio personality, Deb Carson, as his guest host this week.  Deb and Alan talked to David Lat, the founding editor of the popular legal website, Above the Law. David talked about the important legal issues of the day, and gave us an update on his recovery from his much-publicized bout with Covid, sharing what it was like being front and center of the news cycle at his illness' height. Later, in the second half-hour, a new class-action lawsuit suggests that there is racial bias in the NFL's concussion settlement. Attorney Aitan Goelman, who represents the plaintiffs (which includes former players Kevin Henry and Najeh Davenport), filled us in on the court battle and the claims against the NFL.

After 6 1/2 amazing years, Kerri Kasem is leaving Gurvey's Law. You don't want to miss Kerri's last show where Alan and Kerri celebrated their wonderful time together! They had lots of surprises as they celebrated the talented, funny, smart, insightful, and loving co-host who is Kerri Kasem!  We heard from former guests, listened to clips from old shows, and just generally shed a lot of tears remembering all of the good times the dynamic duo shared over the years! It's been a great run, and Alan and Kerri have been a great team!  Gurvey's Law will miss Kerri!

Also, former RBG clerk and now Supreme Court attorney extraordinaire, Joseph Palmore, discussed the passing of his mentor and friend, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Legal scholar and former Harvard University Law School Dean, Martha Minow, joined the show for a no-holds-barred conversation about life and law. Alan Gurvey and guest host Anne Bremner, who is fresh off a $98 million win in the Susan Powell case, discussed Martha’s new book “When Should Law Forgive?” They also spoke about the academic's storied career teaching at a prestigious institution for nearly four decades. Plus, Alan and Anne got the goods from Martha about what it was like having former President Barack Obama as a student (who later said, "I had a teacher who changed my life"), and her experience of being named as a possible candidate for the Supreme Court.
