t's because I had sinus surgery last year and maybe it's all working out for me about now. But correct me if I'm wrong. My voice is damn near perfect now, isn't it? Am I wrong? Because you can't hear your own voice. But did I actually achieve the impossible? I think it actually happened.

What could be less likely than someone who never had a good voice and then lost their speaking ability completely? What are the odds that they would be able to do this someday?

Have I ever told you about prisoner island? I know I have, but it's worth repeating because when you see another example of it, I think everybody should have a story of themself, sort of an operating system or a code. Maybe you could call it a philosophy, but I prefer to say it's a story about yourself. And the story about yourself is the story that you can rely on when everything goes wrong. There's a story of yourself. Here's the story of myself. Now it's a fictional story, but it's the story that I use as my operating code. And it's called prisoner island.

Have you heard of it? Prisoner island goes like this. There's an island in which prisoners are dropped and there's no warden. It's just a jungle there, literally. And you just have to figure it out with the other prisoners and survive any way you can. And so in my story of myself on prisoner island, I'm dropped on prisoner island and I'm exactly me. So I'm not the biggest prisoner. On day one, the prisoners beat me up and rape me viciously. Day two, the prisoners beat me up and rape me viciously. Day three, the prisoners beat me up and rape me viciously. Come back in a year, they'll all be dead and I will be running prisoner island.

That's my story. And the story is not about going to the top of prisoner island. The story is about I will go deeper than you will go. The story is no matter how far you're willing to go, I'm going to go deeper than that every time. It's also the reason I've never been afraid of a human being, like even scary human beings. And maybe you have the same experience if you're male. If you're female, it's probably reasonable to be afraid of big scary men. But I'm not a big scary man, but I've never been afraid of anybody who was because I will go farther than they will go.
