"Just Try Me" by Dave Gunders - 02:48:19
Kudos to Peter Boyles. This Denver Trump Radio leader has turned 180° on Trump and it is wonderful. Realizing Trump’s Big Lie is preposterous and seeing his radio station and colleagues sued for millions, Peter Boyles has turned on the former president, reversing his June decision to stay Big Lie silent and capitulate.
Professor Alexander Theodoridis is our star guest, but he was first on The Peter Boyles Show twice this January, including on Insurrection Day. This U Mass academic is a polling expert and understands hyper-partisanship and its horrible anti-democracy outcomes. Theodoridis is brilliantly outspoken on bad effect of Trump’s Big Lie on America.
A Charlottesville native, Professor Theodoridis discusses his upbringing, the Unite the Right rally in his hometown, and the racism and anti-Semitism endemic to Trumpism. We learn through his polling of powerful stranglehold Trumpism has on GOP. The White Power roots of Trump’s most zealous and beloved backers is explored.
Episode 81 revisits Episode 48 titled Boyles’ Capitulation, to bring you Boyles’ prior pitiful June 2021 surrender to Randy Corporon. Thank goodness Peter Boyles has reversed his capitulation! Boyles now telling the truth about Trump’s Big Lie, and realizing it was just one part of sprawling Trump criminal conspiracy.
Ideally, many people will change their minds about Donald Trump. Troubadour Dave Gunders has the perfect song once again called Just Try Me, in which the singer wonders how long it will take for a person to change her mind. Boyles Show listeners changing their minds would be great way for America to back away from this cold civil war.

Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald is a world-renowned veterinarian, humanitarian, and television star. He performs regularly as a comedian including this weekend at the Comedy Works. https://comedyworks.com/comedians/kevin-fitzgerald Kevin reveals his fascinating self in this wide-ranging discussion.
Stories start at Denver’s George Washington High School but quickly moved to Boulder and a meeting with Barry Fey and Chuck Morris and through them, the Rolling Stones. Kevin explains how it was that he worked with Mick, Keith and Charlie for so long.
Keith Richards help send Kevin Fitzgerald to veterinary school and then, Kevin’s comedy ambitions brought him to the attention of television producers. Next thing you know, he was starring as the premier emergency vet on Animal Planet. https://images.app.goo.gl/9AgJp8EVnb9fSQsf9

Kevin remembers them all and talks about the anti-science movement which is hurting America now. This scientist knows about viruses. We worry about the polarization of society. And Kevin talks polar bears. Listen to the advice George Burns gave Kevin about comedy.
Troubadour Dave Gunders has the perfect funny song called Hole in the Head which is what we need during these trouble times. Discussion follows about the partnership in crime of Putin and trump and right-wing media. This funny song takes the edge off.
Sprawling nature of Trump’s White Power Coup/Riot now evident. Putin and Trump are partners in crime, and destabilization. So are top lieutenants like Giuliani and Jenna Ellis. Contempt for MAGA-enablers expressed at end of show. Serious times deserve some serious pointed commentary. And satire. Let’s keep our senses of humor.

"This American Dream" by Dave Gunders - 02:27:02
Craig’s Lawyers’ Lounge welcomes attorney Tim Bussey, fresh off his victory in the Colorado Supreme Court, which affirmed immunity for his client Patrick Rau who warned, and then shot to death, a disturbed homeless man who’d invaded the basement of his Colorado Springs’ multi-unit house.
The case came to the Supreme Court after the Fourth Judicial District Attorney's office made the claim that the basement in the subdivided house Rau rented an apartment in did not fall under the “dwelling” provision in Colorado's “Make My Day” law. https://law.justia.com/cases/colorado/supreme-court/2022/20sc583.html
Before shooting, Rau warned he’d count to five before firing. Rau was true to his word and fired the killing shot into the intruder’s torso. A homeowner in Colorado has powerful rights to use violence, but only under some proscribed circumstances. Tim Bussey explains how he prevailed in the trial court and at the Colorado Supreme Court.
Back in the fall of 1991, Kathy Redmond was a bright-eyed freshman from Colorado’s Columbine High who went to the University of Nebraska where she was promptly raped by a star football player. Cover-ups by higher ups followed including actions by legendary Coach Tom Osbourne.
This outspoken guest has interacted with big-time sports including the New England Patriots where Kathy Redmond’s been a consultant for the Kraft family. She describes what happened when her rapist got drafted, and then let go by the Patriots, and older and newer problems experienced by former Patriot, Antonio Brown.
Redmond movingly describes her own ordeal and the legal battles which followed. Her story’s been featured many times in major media. https://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/02/sports/ncaafootball/kathy-redmonds-journey-of-reconciliation-with-the-university-of-nebraska.html
Speaking out on behalf of victims, Founder Redmond of National Coalition Against Violent Athletes is a former Republican and still-committed Christian wondering what’s happening with all the divisiveness in America. She discusses with host the consequences of having an authoritarian and acrimonious sex offender as our most recent former president.
Troubadour Dave Gunders delights us again with his classic song about an American house and what it means to lose it. The sanctity of one’s home is special. We remember the burned-out people of Boulder County and ask them to find some joy and hope in this classic song named This American Dream.
This show will give you some brand-new perspectives on modern life in America, especially as regards safety in one’s own dwelling, be it an apartment in a converted home or a dorm room in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Troubadour Dave Gunders brings us perfect song for troubled times, Looking Down. Fellas discuss January 6 Trump Insurrection trauma, and review hit movie, Don’t Look Up. The boys discuss why Joe Rogan is popular podcaster but bad guy for giving forum to despicable Alex Jones. Troubadour suggests more love than hate.
Ross Carlson, age 19, shot his parents to death in 1983. Attorney David Savitz, with aid of his mentor, legendary Denver lawyer Walter Gerash, remarkably defended the orphaned only child. This case fascinated Colorado and so does sensational Savitz book about the experience, Just in the Nick of Time, https://www.justinthenickoftime.com/
Savitz is remarkable storyteller. This accomplished Colorado lawyer describes what he learned about multiple personality disorders and the mental health of America right now. David Savitz knew very well Alan Berg, and he knows Peter Boyles, and Savitz describes true relations between them, and how he knows.
Sad straight line from scum who murdered Alan Berg to Charlottesville and Trump’s January 6 Insurrection/Coup is explored and explained. President Biden came to Colorado the day after laying the wood to the defeated former president. We have SML Schumer sound calling out the threat – bigotry. Call it out!

"All That Water" by Dave Gunders - 01:54:26
Colorado current events startle as 2021 disappears. The Marshall Fire. The Denver/Lakewood targeted murder spree by misfit gun-nut bigot who wrote down his evil intentions. Governor Polis’ imperious commutation of Rogel Aguilera-Mederos sentence of 110 years down to 10 years.
These current events and much more discussed in detail with Colorado State Senator Rhonda Fields who goes way back with attorney host after targeted 2005 murder of Javad Marshall Fields and his fiancée, Vivian Wolfe. Two of their murderers were sentenced to death, a penalty rendered unenforceable by Governors Hickenlooper and Polis.
Senator Fields and attorney host also worked together when serious death threats made against her by bigoted gun-nut misfit who threatened her with violence. The threat-maker was prosecuted but the best justice came from the civil suit filed, with money received going to Javad Marshall-Fields/Vivian Wolfe CSU scholarship, along with apology.
Fields and host praise the heroism of Lakewood Police Agent Ashley Ferris who stopped last week’s Denver/Lakewood killer. Who’s coming next? Is pandemic making it worse? Is there a crime wave? Spoiler alert. The answer is yes. Gun laws, authoritarianism, bigotry, and the pandemic are discussed. So is Christianity and its role in current events.
New Years’ Day 2022 rings in Colorado’s great new law: the Child Sexual Abuse Accountability Act. This Fields-sponsored legislation, effective January 1, 1960, allows victims of sexual assault to hold accountable perpetrators and their enablers, dating back to January 1, 1960. Ghislaine Maxwell guilty verdicts also discussed. Host makes case against Bill Cosby and Donald Trump as serial sex sex offenders.
Sommer Luther helped make this law a reality. A mother and skilled Colorado litigator, she explains how she does it all. This native Floridian provides entertaining interview describing her upbringing and perspectives on Colorado law. Lawyers like Sommer Luther and host can now bring lawsuits against sex crime perpetrators and their enablers, even if old statutes of limitation have expired.
Show Troubadour Dave Gunders penned a classic song about a disaster in Boulder County and how to re-build emotionally and physically. “All That Water” is what we need now in wake of Marshall Fire in Boulder, scene of way too much modern misfortune. Listen to fresh show as the fresh snow falls on January 1, 2022.
Other broadcasters give you holiday repeats, but this show is fresh and covers historically impactful last week of 2021 in Colorado. Listen to strong opinions about the gubernatorial commutations and proper societal responses to systematic sexual abuse on women and children.

Kevin Vaughan and Memories of 1994 Tom Hollar Murder Trial. The Innocence Project at CU Law School has identified pre-DNA Colorado cases where hair examination evidence was used to help convict violent criminals. Kevin Vaughan, ace journalist for 9News, did some digging and let host know the Tom Hollar murder trial was one such case.
Wow! Host remembered this case more than most he prosecuted, but a lot has been recently refreshed. Old prosecutorial team put back together fast and articles reviewed. Tom’s mother Nedra and widow Christina have been contacted, and they remain lovely. There’s plenty of other evidence and the hair probabilities were not oversold. Expect convictions to hold.
Kevin Vaughan's story appeared on 9News on 12.16.21 https://www.9news.com/article/news/investigations/cases-with-hair-evidence-among-convictions-slated-for-review/73-356d7172-96e4-434e-b325-17fd4e744f0d with copious footage from this dastardly 1993 Summer of Violence atrocity and its1994 trial in Denver District Court.

Vaughan discusses ethics involved in his profession and explains how he put this latest Hollar case story together. Cameras in courtroom are a reality and the need for federal cases to be televised is stipulated. We are all on camera now. And I was on camera then. Sound too.
Many people lost homes and property in Kentucky and elsewhere as strong ill winds swept our nation this past week. Perhaps Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell will blow a different direction toward the former president as January 6 Commission closes in. Latest developments in Ghislaine Maxwell trial also discussed as defense rests. Troubadour Dave Gunders delivers perfect song, Blow Wind Blow.
