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.

Hi, this is Dovid Olshwang, and welcome to the Rabbi Olshwang Show. And whether you're watching with our friends over at TorahAnytime, wherever you watch or listen to uh your podcast, we're always happy to have you along. And uh what can I tell you? I'm always surprised uh that our audience keeps growing. Um I noticed a comment on uh my Tish'a B'Av video, someone said, "This is the first one I've ever seen." and uh all good things for them and their family. Now, you know there's uh there's a method to my madness. And uh people who have been um at the live recordings, and I know there are some people who've been coming to Eretz Yisrael, and they've been contacting me, they want to come to the recordings, and I tell them, "Contact me when you get here," and I never hear from them again, but um uh we um we've been doing this now for 180 shows, so and every now and then somebody, you know, is watching, and I walk in and I say, "What should I talk about?" So I said to my wife, "What should I talk about?" She says, "I I don't know." I tell my wife, "You know what you're talking about." You know I um because uh sometimes a lot of preparation goes into this, and sometimes, you know, uh I've had a lot of living under uh under my belt in the 63 years I've been here. I got a lot of stuff that I like to talk
