What’s said in this shiur

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

I said I'm going to speak about chabas glasses. There's still a mistake because there's not that much to talk about in chabas glasses, but there's a lot of very interesting stories about glasses and and George. So there's there's plenty of what to talk about. I apologize in advance if it's not so connected to Shabas glasses. It might just be glasses. The shabas part of it might be lowercase. Um I'll start with a story that actually has to do with Shabas glasses. Uh Rael Orbach is married to Yash's daughter. So So meaning she's a Yash's daughter. So So meaning she's a daughter of she I'm sorry. So Rael's wife is daughter of a she once went shopping for glasses. I think it's a well-known story and she was looking into a pair of like the photograde glasses, the ones that turn like uh you know they turn into sunglasses when you go outside and close off when you come inside and she's sitting there and she's debating back and forth if she should get them. And she tells the proprietor of the store, you know, my says these are to wear in chabas. My father says these are mut to wear in chabas. I'm not sure what to do. And the guy, she's sure what to do. And the guy, she's heming and hawing. The guy finally looks at him and he says, "Your father, call a r. What are you making everybody crazy about?" So, so glasses could sometimes be takabas or otherwise. Now, just uh there's another another I guess uh two two fascinating glasses stories before I talk about the shabas element, the shabas glasses element. Two fascinating glasses stories. There's a a story with the Peshawa. I don't know if you have heard the story. It's a famous story.
