What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Shay Tahan’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

I one time met a uh yeshiva boy who was part of a hockey league. I said, "So, how did you do?" He said, "We lost the championship." I said, "You lost the championship?" "You mean you made it to the championship?" And he thinks for a moment. He goes, "Yeah, I made it to the championship." We live in such a society where it's either all or nothing. You're either a champion or you're a loser. There's no there's no we don't care about the effort you put in. We don't about the effort you put in. We don't care about how hard you tried. We don't care about how much you've grown. All we care about is did you make it to the top or not. [Music] Welcome everyone to Kazak's Tuesday night program called Torah Talks. We have a very special guest today, Rabbi Moishi Fogle. Welcome. Thank you so much for joining us. We're looking forward to hearing from you today. Very special hearing from you today.
