What’s said in this shiur

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

loyal followers who call themselves a reality crazies and I'm not talking about the crazy crazies. I've met at least six of them in the past month who have committed to memory everything I have ever said. You know, I can't start a sentence without them finishing it. But even just you dilotons who listen every once in a while etc. Thank you so much because uh uh I know people who make podcasts and nobody listens and it's so sad. So thank you everybody. Okay. Um it uh I have mentioned more than once uh that I'm not always sure what to talk about. We're not doing a series. when I'm doing a uh a safer, I sit down each time and I say, "So, what should I talk about?" And uh I ask anybody who happens to be around for ideas and if not, I just wait to see if something hits me. Yeah. So, unbeknownst to me, uh, producer Israel put up on the WhatsApp group, and for those who are not familiar, there is a Revolki WhatsApp group for suggestions, and um, number of people submitted a number of ideas, and there was one of them that I felt like I needed to address sooner rather than later. It reads as follows. When I was in seminary and asked Rabiolski the question of a gnote, he gave an answer that didn't really sit well with me.
