What’s said in this shiur

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

Shmiras HaEinayim is one of the beautiful things that Klal Yisroel have. Twice a day, we daven קריאת שמע and we say over what HaKadosh Baruch Hu told us, The Heilike Torah, twice a day makes sure to remind us, Don't go after your eyes. Shimshon HaGibor was one of the greatest נביאים in Klal Yisroel, one of the strongest people. He saved Klal Yisroel. And the Plishtim got hold of him and they tied him up, they took out his eyes and they put him in a big stadium. Everyone was there to laugh at him. Here is this big נביא, this strong guy, and now he's useless. And he's standing in this huge stadium, thousands and thousands of Plishtim are there, and he's put in between two big poles. And he turns over to the Ribono shel Olam and he says: Hashem, pay me for one of my eyes. I want to take a Nekama from the Plishtim. And Hashem gives him back his strength, and he pulls both poles
