What’s said in this shiur

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

Good evening. All right. Shalom. Welcome back to a double dose leishna. A uh two for one as they say, I'm from Chicago. So like Ernie Banks said, gentlemen, it's such a great day. Let's play two.
