But I think there were two people who were explicitly anti-landlord. There was a guy whose whole job was to help people get into housing and to like advocate for rules that would allow them to stay longer and they can't be evicted if they don't pay rent, et cetera, et cetera. And a couple of people were very pro landlord. A couple of people were like, yeah, I own 15 rental properties.

One woman was eight and a half months pregnant and she was like, look, I can serve, but I constantly have to pee. So it might be a real inconvenience and hold everyone up. And the judge was like, it's no problem at all. We have a bathroom just through there. But if you go, we have to pause and everybody has to go. Anyway, she was dismissed.

There was a Ukrainian woman who was like, I think it's ridiculous that landlord tenant issues require a jury trial in the first place. Like she was so angry about it. She got dismissed. A couple of people in the jury pool were lawyers, real estate investors. Several of them straight up said it would be next to impossible for them to set aside their pro-landlord bias.

With the exception of those two people I just mentioned who were pro-tenant, it was really fascinating. Almost every single person, even the people who do not own property, were like, the law in California is way too skewed toward the tenants. The tenants' rights are out of control. I thought that was interesting. It's just clearly a post-COVID thing. There was one great moment, though.

The lawyer, you know, my future wife, she's interviewing this young woman in the jury pool. I think she was a tech executive or something. And this young woman was constantly laughing throughout the whole process. And she asks her what she asks every single person on the jury, which is, do you think you could set aside any preconceptions you have and give both sides a fair shake?

And without missing a beat, this woman goes, oh, yeah, totally. I love to make judgments.

It was one of those that's definitely ending up on overheard LA moments. And they approved her and nobody dismissed her. That's really funny. She just walked across the room and she was actually kind of excited. Oh, man. They ended up picking a jury. I was in the extras pool or whatever. So I went home.
