Hello and welcome to Useful Idiots. I'm Katie Halper. And I'm Mary Mette. How's it going Katie? I'm doing well you. I'm doing well. Any exciting events coming up in your world.

I'm so glad you asked because Brianna Joy-Gray and I are going to be doing a live taping of the Katie Halper show on June 10th.

And it's going to be great. It's going to be a great time. And it's going to be in New York City of course because that's where I'm based.

Bri is based in DC but she's going to be coming in for this. And make sure you come to that. It's going to be at 40 Low East Sida Avenue. I think that's 40 Avenue C between 3rd and 4th Street. It's called the Francis Kite Club.

It's actually Aaron where you did a where we both run a panel that we moderated on the Warren Ukraine. Same spot.

Can I tell a funny story about that? Of course. I'd love that. Katie, you and I moderated this this event at that at the Or Books venue and the Lower East Side or these village like wherever it is. And it was for a book, you know, by friend of the show, Medea Benjamin or co-author Nicholas Davies about Ukraine.

But there was an audience member who was really mad at me because he didn't think that he thought I was just there to I guess ask questions. But let me like I wasn't invited there. I thought to also speak along with Medea and her author. So there's a right.

The audience member came up to me while the event was happening. He said, he said, hey listen. This is as he was going on. He was like, hey listen.

Next time you're invited to moderate event and event you just moderate. You do not speak yourself. And so he was like chastising me. And so I but I was so I got triggered. I was offended.

I was offended. Yeah. I was offended that he thought that I was like, you know, hijacking this event where really I thought I was invited as one of the speakers equally. So I got up in his face too. We had a little joe.

Like jostling as the event was going on. Yeah. I was pretty funny. It's funny. If you're watching like you can see it happen. I think on the video. Yeah. We're standing up in each other's faces.

And I was like, I was like, I said, I said, I was invited to speak as well. I for some reason. His like his him accusing me of that really bothered me.

Yeah. Yeah. I wonder what child that trauma that we have. Yeah. Yeah. So that came. Anyway.

Maybe when you were child actor making videos commercials for, you know, war games, you were told that you were hogging the mic or something or hogging the screen or reading other people's parts.

Who knows who knows. That was. Anyway, that is a great spot. We're to hold in a minute. Yeah. People should check it out.

Yeah. Saturday, June 10th. Saturday, June 10th. Yeah. And once Aaron is done with his book and has whatever required, you know, decompression time. We will be doing a live taping of useful idiots. Do not you worry?
