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.

And we are live. I'm not going to say good morning cuz I want to be honest. It's not morning anymore. It's 1:12 p.m. Although, I'm not even sure if it's Kisei Yaim because we just did spring forward last night. So, really it's it says it's 1:12, but it's yesterday would have been called 12:12. I don't even know if it's midday yet. Here's the deal. The year that we are recording this year of Likutei Sichos Aleph Tishrei 5786 of Likutei Sichos Aleph Tishrei 5786 is a Shanah Pshutah, a non-leap year. So, Vayakhel Pekudei are in the same week. Mekubadim, attached. In Likutei Sichos Aleph Vayakhel Pekudei are two separate weeks. So, we just gave a shiur in Vayakhel. And we just finished. And now we took a little break. Few minutes. And now we're doing um Pekudei. If this is if you're watching this in a year where they are attached because that happens in a non-leap year, welcome back. If this is a leap year where they're separate weeks, good morning. Good morning. Yes. Okay. Um Morning somewhere. Pekudei. The bottom of page 195. Excellent. I made a bracha earlier. I've been live streaming already for over 2 hours, so like 2 and 1/2 hours. So, I made a bracha earlier. L'chaim. I'm drinking hot cocoa. I had enough coffee. Getting caffeine jitters. Should drink hot cocoa now. Why did the elephant fall Why did the elephant fall in the hot cocoa? He fell off the marshmallow. Joke that was told to me when I was a child and it made me furious cuz I didn't understand it. Now that I understood that it was an anti-joke, which I did not appreciate. Ready? In Torah in general, but especially in the written Torah, every word and even every letter is calculated. In fact, in fact, um
