Speaker 1 (00:00):
I don't understand how how you call everybody for jury
duty and tell them they got a jury summing.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
By the way, I'm not mad. I just don't understand. No, no,
I'm not no.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
I swear to God you did exactly what you were
supposed to do. But I don't understand how they call
all these people and then go, oh, no, jury's trials
this week.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
So you get the notice in the mail, right, and
then you call them and let them know that you
got your summons. Sure, and then it says after four
on the Friday before your term of service, which started yesterday.
So four o'clock on Friday, I called, right, and they say,
and then they go through you have your group number,
and then they give several group numbers that are supposed

(00:40):
to What group number were you? Four thousand and eight.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
So the four thousand people that are Oh, you don't
know where it's starting.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
I don't know how many people are in that group?

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Fair point, right, fair point.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
So then they tell you, okay, you need to be
there at eight thirty on Monday, but before you leave,
make sure you call and double check at seven on
Monday morning to see if there's a change. Right, And
it turns out, yeah, we have no jury trials on Monday.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
On Monday, right, so we don't need you.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
But please call at four on Monday on Monday afternoon
to see if we need you.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
And then you call yesterday at four right or right
before four. Yeah, and they said no jury trials.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
So we don't have any jury trials this week. Nothing Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
Your term of service is done.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
And again, beautiful, that makes me happy. It was only
one day. That's fantastic. I mean it's not it's not
one hundred, but it's a ninety. That's great. How do
you how do you cancel all jury trials? So all
those people that were in the pool, yeah, now are
they when they start jury trials up next week?

Speaker 2 (01:46):
All those people are flushed from the pool.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Right, the people who are on the docket for next.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
But they can't they can't get any of those people back.
Doesn't that seem like a waste of jury pool?

Speaker 4 (01:55):
Well, you understand that these summons go out wait in
advance of five, but they have.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
So many problems trying to get people to do jury
duty that you essentially just you wasted them. You wasted
all of them. Again, I'm glad for your group, but
you wasted all of them.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
How much business is conducted over the weekend where on
Friday afternoon they tell you you're needed, and then Monday
morning you're no longer needed.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Did every judge get COVID?

Speaker 3 (02:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Like that's just weird that they would cancel all jury trials.
If I had a jury trial in Alexandria, do you
know how pissed I'd be, Like, now you're backing me up.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
My meter's running, so that's not good.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
I'm still in a holding cell waiting to get in
there in front of the jury.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
It was so funny, like my kids over the years
have kind of figured out the dynamics of this show,
and they said to me yesterday morning as they were
getting ready for school.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
This is not going to be good.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
So is Elliot angry at Diana?

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Yes, even though.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
I said, oh yes, absolutely furious. I'm sure his blood
is boiling. And then they said, they said, but it's
not her fault, and I said, no, no, no, I know,
I know no, And that's.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Why I can't be mad.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
I can't be mad at you, can't be you just were.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
I'm mad with you I'm mad with you.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
I can tell by the tone. Even though text don't
have a tone, yours had a tone.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
How did my text?

Speaker 4 (03:19):
We can tell by the last twenty five years, and
now how did my text have a tone?

Speaker 2 (03:23):
That's not true. You were I said, right on.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
But that was after I said we were here on today, Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Where's the good tone in that? Where's the happiness in that?

Speaker 4 (03:34):
So she says to me, but it's not her fault.
Why is he upset? And I said, oh, okay, well,
let me take you back to the start. He has
created a program with a very unsustainable model, going to

(03:57):
eleven o'clock every day, not taking a day off. For
any other person, this would be no big deal, if, if, if,
at all, I mean there, I saw some comments that
are like, oh, this is awesome for the rest of
the get the day off. It's like no, because Elliott
is seething.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
I was angry, and we're all just waiting.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Diane, I see if we need to prep for a
Tuesday staring at the clock.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah, and so yeah, yeah, so it's good.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
No, but then you said in the text yesterday yesterday morning,
so for today you call again. That is exactly the
way it was written. Yes, but that's the way it
was written. So for today, you call again at four,
that will tell you about tomorrow morning. But if the
answer is yes for tomorrow, do you call again at seven?

(04:51):
And I was like, question, okay, yeah, I called, I
call again today at four. I don't know if I
have to call again. I think that was just because
it was Friday going into and.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
They thought that you're too dumb.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
I'm not sure.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
When did the update the line for yesterday morning? Is
it possible that was updated over the weekend. Did you
check in over the weekend?

Speaker 3 (05:15):
No, oh, Dane, why would you have checked in over
the weekend. They told me to call it seven.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
On Monday, right, right, and you did right?

Speaker 4 (05:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Okay, yeah, and we're all good. Nobody's angry.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
I followed directions, and you did a great job. You
did a fantastic job. You want to see. I would
have lost my mind if they put you on a
jury for the rest of the week, then I would
have lost my mind.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Well, I wasn't sure if I was going to since
they didn't need us Monday, if they were going to say, okay,
well now.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Because they already called you for Monday, I was ready
to go, but ready to go to the judge.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
I was ready. You already told me you needed me
on Monday.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
You can bitch all you want. I'm not. I'm not
getting a contempt charge because we're off.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
No, I would have looked at the you're out of order.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
Okay, you can do that, because I ain't doing it.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
All right, Can I get to the other good thing? Like,
let's put let's that was a good thing. Well that
is good. Yeah, we're done.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Now.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
You're good for what five years, eight years, ten years?

Speaker 3 (06:17):
The last time you get all I looked in my calendar.
The last time it popped up on my calendar was
in twenty seventeen.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
No, yes, no, yes, no, yes no, because you definitely
got one that we kicked down the road right.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
In twenty seventeen. As I had to kick this one
down the road too.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Oh okay, so we did kick this one down the road right?

Speaker 3 (06:40):
Yeah, okay, yeah, they let you do that once. I
have done it once every time I've been called because
of you.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
You're out of orders.
