• 1:54
  Speaker 2: apartment over there on the Upper East Side, he makes
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: these videos him at the piano and he sings some
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: of his songs. He might want to get a little
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: better dressed for them, it's usually him and his pajamas.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: He's an underrated genius.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I say, oh, he's a brilliant guy, and he's one
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: of the few artists in the world. Like some of
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: those videos, you'll see him do laughter in the rain,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: just at the piano. He's one of the few guys
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: in real life can When he does it, it sounds
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: exactly like the like the recording, exactly like the record.
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: That's impressive.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: You know how many times you go to a concert
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: and they're doing their hit and it doesn't sound anything
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: like the single that you've heard for years, But now
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Sadaka sounds perfect. Thanks for calling, Mike. Let's go to
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Aaron in Indianapolis. Erin, how you doing.
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Mark. I want to talk about the new
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: incoming New York mayor. Yes, I think I think we
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: should extend the peace offering and send him some gift
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: boxes of hand sandwiches.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know what that means, but I think we
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: should send him in Indianapolis. Let him run your town
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: for a little while. Hey, it didn't like that had
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: a lot of silence there. Let's go to Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: how you doing okay?
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Mark's I'm wondering why right ways like Steffanic use the
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: word affordability. Those are the left wards. But we should
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: be using the slogan common sense.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Well we use that a lot now. President Trump uses
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: that a lot.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: I know, but it should be the rallying cry. Everybody
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: says that they that these people are saying, you know, affordability,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: and they're going to wait across the country with that slogan.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: We should respond by saying common sense.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Well we do, we do, we do. President Trump, as
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: they say, he says it a lot. You can't decide
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: what the big slogan is. You can just keep saying it.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Then you see what catches on. For some reason, affordability
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: caught on with the public. They like the word, you know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: it's it's like branding. Sometimes it catches on, sometimes it doesn't.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: But affordability it's a big issue right now. But you
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: got a lot of the President's policies and a lot
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: of the things in the pipeline going through the economy
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: that will bring prices down. So in six months prices
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: might be a lot lower, and then it won't be
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: a very good word for a campaigning anymore. Let's go
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: to Susan and Brooklyn, Susan. How you doing, Hi?
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Great Mark, love your show. I just have to make
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: a comment. I received my two hundred dollars inflation refund
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: check from local and the thing is, they tell you
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: on this to keep the stub on the top to
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: file with your twenty twenty five taxes. And it even
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: says it on the check. This is insane. I'm being
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: taxed on money that I was already taxed on.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. Does that mean you have to
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: pay taxes on it just because you have to keep
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the stub?
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Well, it says this refund is issued on your income
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: tax return for the years shown below, tax year twenty
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: twenty five.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know. You got to ask an account. That
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: might mean you don't have to pay tax on How
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: come I didn't? I didn't get it check? How come
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I didn't get one?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe you make too much money? What
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: can I say? Mark, have a good day.
• 5:01
