Hello and welcome to Useful Idiots. I'm Katie Halper.

And I'm the other host Aaron Mate. How are you Katie?

I'm good. I'm good. I'm back at home, back in New York. I was traveling a little bit as people know from last week where I showed off the dog that I had met in my travels.

Shout out to London, the Yorkie. I took a plane. Not everyone was masked. A lot of people didn't mask.

How do they make you feel? Not great. I think that the cost of wearing a mask is so low. I mean, it's uncomfortable, but I think that it would be great if people just masked up, especially for the sake of others who are more immunocompromised.

So I have I messed up, but I don't think Biden will call for it just because I think he thinks it will be a lecturely unpopular.

I don't think we can expect much from him on this issue until his second term. If he gets a second term.

Well, if that's a cause you care about, that's a great reason to vote for for Biden, I guess, you know, I guess we're getting at the vote for Biden.

I guess. Yeah. I mean, while while slamming him appropriately, yes, for doing nothing.

I saw a really good TV show, a showtime show called American Rust with Jeff Daniels. I recommend that.

I saw really bad. It wasn't really it was kind of bad. I don't know why I stuck with it. It's called still water. It's with Matt Damon.

And it's kind of based on the Amanda Nock story, but it takes place in France instead of Italy.

And Abigail Brezzlin is in it who was so cute and little mason shine. Do you see that movie little mason shine? I did. Yes.

She was so great in that. And then she's growing up to become such a terrible adult.

Well, fiction fiction. Like she was just really on appealing and maybe she was supposed to be on a peeling, but she was just annoying her voice was annoying.

She's not very good actor. I wish she could have just stayed that age and been cute and the good actor for a little kid, because I guess acting as a little kid is different from acting as an adult.

Well, having been a child actor myself as we've talked about in previous shows. I have a lot of empathy for my child actor colleagues and look, especially if you become famous.

And a young age, it's really hard to make it out a stable, sane person. So anyone who can have anywhere approaching a career in a normal life after being a child star, I think it's a miracle.

How did you stay so grounded?

How did I stay so grounded after my two toy commercials?

Yeah, it's a great question.

I couldn't have done it without without the support of my family who kept me grounded.
