0:00.0	Welcome to Useful Idiots. I'm your host, Von Yourhost, Katie Halper.

0:11.7	I'm well. And as a reminder, if you go to Useful Idiots.substack.com or useful Idiots.locals.com,
0:17.8	you can sign up to support us and get all kinds of bonus content.
0:22.0	Including extended interviews and Arthur Zethordowns. You're a midweek dose of medium madness,

1:19.3	I tried to help my friend and I last night. A dog was abandoned. And my friend who was
1:25.0	a car saw the announcement and he asked me if I wanted to go help rescue a dog and we
1:29.9	went all the way to Brooklyn and we were going to drive it all the way to Staten Island.
1:34.8	And then it turned out the vet was closed. Then he got a ticket. So no good deed goes
1:39.6	unpunished. That's not the takeaway, though. The takeaway is help. And it'll sometimes
