[Music] Okay. Welcome everybody. Thank you for staying for the last part of uh the Omune. Uh very nice to be back here after uh yeah a long time of uh not being here in this uh this position. So, uh, nice to be back home. Back in the old back in the old town. Back home. Um, so yeah, as the title says, today we're going to talk about the scary G word. I'm not going to say which word that is. I'm not going to say which word that is. You're going to figure it out yourselves. And uh there are all kinds of scary words that start with a G. And uh basically, I'll tell you a little story, something that uh happened to me uh lately. Um, I usually don't uh I'll confess I don't really uh attend to Toyra classes so much. I usually like to learn on my own with Kusa have a good kusa with Talmid. But uh I uh did attend at some point some uh I uh did attend at some point some time ago. I attended the tour class and uh the speaker was very very good, very inspiring and very entertaining and he like uh he laced the talk with lots of you know jokes which I also like. I sometimes try to also joke around when I talk with certain modicum of success and um but it was interesting because the topic of the talk was era ya shaming. Oh, it's interesting how he combined era with laughing and jokes and laughter.
