What’s said in this shiur

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

And we are live. Okie dokie, here we are. Um night number five? Is that right? Yeah. And uh we're going to give some sadaka as we as is our custom around here. Opening up the Colel Chabad pushka app and going to give some money here. All right. Why not just give a little bit more? Isn't that cute when you shake it? You got to get this app, Colel Chabad pushka app. Okay. All righty. Let me make a bracha. Okay. I got the paper printed out. There's a lot of Sonic stuff going on here. Okay. You know what? I'm going to wear the headphones again. Last night I put on the headphones cuz somebody in the chat said that they couldn't hear and then I wanted to test the audio, so I put on the headphones. I'm putting on the headphones now. Okay. All right. I told you before, I put on the headphones to cover my crazy hair. I have long hair right now. I can't cut my hair. You [sighs] know, I was in avel last year for my father and this year for my mother and I would always learn in halacha that you have to grow out your hair for 30 days till someone yells at you and tells you to get it cut. Then I found out that the minimum age is there at 3 months. >> [sighs and gasps] >> I could tell you about my hair problems. It tugs. It gives me a headache, my long hair, when I'm trying to sleep, when I'm lying down, it tugs on me and on my scalp and gives me a headache. >> [sighs] >> Woe is me. Okay. Here we go. Baruch Hashem based Mar Chashvan Kashan design, Brooklyn. Bracha v'shalem. All right, guys. I've told you before that Rebbe says shalom u'vracha to a man.
