Now back to Mark Simone on WOR.

Hey, let's take some calls.

Let's go to Patricia in Brooklyn.

Patricia, how you doing?

Oh, dear Mark.

Listen, I wrote to the president and I, you know, I said that I love him, you know, stuff like that.

But I also absolutely mentioned you. You got me through the pandemic. I mean, you got me through the craziest times where I thought, what the hell is going on?

I got the most beautiful letter back from the president.

Don't think he doesn't know what you do for the New Yorkers.

God bless you, Mark.

I love you.

What did he say?

Thank you for you.

Somebody in the White House. Dear so-and-so, thank you for the shirts. I love them. I'm going to wear them all the time. So then he puts these up. Now, the president has never seen the letter, never seen the shirts, but he puts them up in his window

with a big sign, shirtmaker to four presidents. See, I just gave a lot of people a lot of ideas,

write and you'll get a letter back. Let's go to Bill in Lafayette, New Jersey. Bill, how you

doing? Okay, Mark, you know, you were talking about the Oscars last night, which I did not watch.
