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.

what do we got to do we gotta zika's comets so firstly you've got to clean you have to clean your place wherever whatever you live in whatever it might be however you might describe the place that you live there's a very simple question i don't know if you're aware of what goes on with regards to cleaning for pesach and uh and uh having to search for the comments is you know anything leavened on the night before pesach but one of the things that you do after you've gone through the process of searching you then make a declaration that all of the comments that you've got in your possession is null and void you say you make the declaration again the next morning when you burn the comments you make the same same kind of a declaration that all of the comments that you've got is no it doesn't belong to you it's null in its void if that's the case why do we need to search for the comments at all right if you're just going to get up and you're going to say you know in theory you could get up and you could just say on on the you know the day before pesach that all of the comments in my possession is now null and void
