What’s said in this shiur

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

Just the Gmorra simply to read through the Gomorrah Michael [music] would take seven years where I actually do one page a day one double-sided page would take me seven seven and a half years [music] to go through the entire thing. Now one page a day is exceptionally fast as you can see the way we dissect a Mishna. We've spent all our time until now just dissecting a single mission which is three lines long.
