What’s said in this shiur

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

One time. One time. One time. I was in Tokyo, Japan the other day at the Shabuya crossing, the world's busiest intersection. You can have a few thousand people crossing the street at one time and over 2 million throughout the day. There's like seven corners that people could cross from. Here we are by people could cross from. Here we are by the busiest intersection in the world in Tokyo, Japan, the Shabuya crossing. We're about to have thousands of people crossing the street at one time. It's called organized chaos. It looks like everybody's going in different directions. Okay. Is everybody ready to cross the street? Is everybody ready? Yeah. All right. 10 seconds and let's go to our destination at once. All right. Five. Here we go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Come on, everybody. 2 and 12 million people a day
