In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth runs a sound check after a day of technical trouble, noting that the stream had briefly gone live on YouTube by accident. Mufti checks the YouTube and Facebook comments, lets his young children say salam to viewers before bedtime, and shows his drink for the night. Looking for the notes he made for the session, Mufti jokes that he needs a full-time secretary and, when a viewer mentions the evil eye, that it is a good thing he does not believe in it.
