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

day 19 milt tanoog minimize your physical pleasure we all recall the mishna actually it's not a mishna but it's part of our paedik one of the previous alohas and pedigree of miseka the voice a limited amount of water sleep on the floor and live a life of pain and suffering that seems to be extreme and we know that our giants giants of musa giants of taylor always chose the middle road the road of moderation rashi's interpretation of this aloha is not that is the way to live rash's interpretation is even if you will need to deprive yourself you won't have enough food to eat you won't have fundamental comforts you would not have a comfortable bed nevertheless you still need to strive to learn torah and to serve a kurdish even in those extreme consequences that is the interpretation of rashi it is not that we need to try to deprive ourselves from the fundamentals that are necessary to a normal and decent life of moderation but many times when i speak to might or meet them i say our relative concepts in our day of abundance in our age of plenty could include a layer of butter some jam you could have some avocado some tuna fish spread and maybe some peanut butter it still would be defined as pasta mella mayambe sure a bit of coke or orange juice here and there a schlook of whiskey still would be defined as mayam beemesuru a la urez tishan you could have somewhat of a normal mattress but what is eternal is the central message dedicate your life to torah and don't strive
