If you're listening to Mark on the Iheart radio app, save time and tap the preset button now.

Now back to the Mark Simone show on W-O-R.

Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to David in Brooklyn. David, how you doing?

Hey, good morning. How are you? Good.

Okay, I just want to, if you give me 30 seconds, I make my point.

You speaking yesterday that the election turnout was only 45%.

So I want to explain to you something. My training in statistics, I think 45% is actually too high and I'll explain to you why.

New York City does not have a system of people removing themselves from the voting rule, meaning when someone registers to vote in New York, then they move to Florida or move wherever, they don't call up. People do not know. That's a good point. The actual total might be higher. People aren't. Hey, by the way, you don't have to say, give me 30, just, all you got to do is be interesting. If you're really

interesting, you can stay on, you'll be on for 10 minutes. If it's not so interesting, it might be 10

seconds. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing? Good morning, Mark. Yes, Mike.

Just to get off the politics for a couple of seconds, I was cruising YouTube, and I came across a bunch of Neil Sedaka videos and I was wondering if you were friends with him and also how short is Neil Sedaka? He looked. It was one where he's dancing, he's singing, there's a bunch of dancing girls and he looks like he comes up to their waist. Well, no, he's not uh he's a good friend of mine he's not

he's not tall but i i would say he's five nine probably oh okay maybe he's five eight

five nine but he you know when they put you in the show with the dancing girls they're always

like six feet tall these these dancers so true yeah but he does he's doing is i'm he's pushing

he's in his 80s i know that yeah you can uh see how he's doing? He's in his 80s, I know that.

Yeah, you can see how he's doing because if you follow him on Facebook or online, probably on YouTube too, every couple of days in his own apartment over there on the Upper East Side, he makes these videos, him at the piano, and he sings some of his songs.

He might want to get a little better dressed for them. It's usually him in his pajamas. He's an underrated genius, I think.

Oh, he's a brilliant guy. And he's one of the few artists in the world. Like some of those

videos, you'll see him do laughter in the rain, just at the piano. He's one of the few guys in real life, when he does it, it sounds exactly like the recording.

Exactly like the record.

Yeah, that's impressive.

You know how many times you go to a concert and they're doing their hit and it doesn't sound anything like the single that you've heard for years?
