==Video Overview==
Kurt says he got jury duty, and he hated it, but is going to talk about it as it is something new that happened to him. First off, Kurt got a 'jury questionnaire' in the mail. He should've thrown it away, but replied and sent it back and got a jury summons. Kurt called the number to see if he had to show up and got a confusing response, so he did show up and was extremely anxious about the process and the pandemic. Having to go in a room with both lawyers and the judge, Kurt says that the whole process is designed to make people nervous. He tried to avoid getting chosen to be on jury duty, and says he thinks it might've been better to try not to say anything at all. Kurt was too intimidated to answer that he would have a problem serving on a jury with potentially unvaccinated people because it both would've helped him not get on the jury and it would've been truthful. Kurt did say he does not trust the testimony of police officers, and thought this could get him off the jury but thinks it could've been what got him selected. The defense attorneys tried to get the group talking about covid and masks until he was called out by one juror, and Kurt says the more sensible jurors didn't speak up. Kurt was the final juror selected, and he assumes the defense chose him. 
The trial was about a man who was selling something he claimed could cure covid and other infections. Now, in Washington homeopathic medicine is recognized but the defendant had previously had his license stripped for something similar. Kurt was almost late the first day of the trial, and says it was in federal court because he was selling the 'cures' across state lines. An undercover FDA agent in California got him in a sting operation, but that wasn't even necessary as one of the defense's witnesses was from Arizona. Kurt is shocked to see a Pink Sheep, and leaves a sign calling him Harvey Birdman. He says the FDA brought in a lot of experts, and there were a lot of rambling independent witnesses for the defense. Kurt mentions some jurors were put up in a hotel as they were called in for federal court. He digs a Hidey Hole and restarts the game.
Starting off again, Kurt said the jury was very white and largely old, Kurt saying it was not representative. He thought he might've been an alternate and gotten to leave at the end, but thought it would've been a little insulting. Kurt finds a Dungeon in a hillside but finds a Golden Record, causing him to leave it. He was proven correct that some jurors were convinced by homeopathy and this was an issue as federal juries need to be unanimous. He almost volunteered to be the foreman, but a woman ended up taking the job. Some jurors were hung up on the fact that anything can be a drug if it is sold as much, and Kurt was caught up on a part about prescription drugs that he later realized they didn't need to worry about. One juror was fighting on a lot of points and the other jurors wondered if they wouldn't be able to reach an agreement, which Kurt thought was silly after only a day and a half of deliberations. After lunch, the holdout agreed to the verdict, and stuck with it even when the judge asked each juror individually if the verdict was correct. Kurt explains the doctor was mislabeling his products, and then gets a brief call from The Girlfriend. He explains that he thought the doctor was also guilty on a point about prescription drugs, but it was unnecessary for conviction. Kurt talks about Andrew Wakefield, the doctor who fabricated the vaccines cause autism study. He thinks the defendant wanted an in-person trial to maybe frustrate the system. Kurt digs in for the night, saying he is never going to respond to those questionnaires again.
