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

When it comes to the Daf, it's something that's super amazing. The consistency day in day out kh I've been giving a shiur for over 6 years, six plus years without missing a single day. That's an for me it's an incredible feat and it's almost like limala min hateva (above nature) you know what I mean because yes uh to give shiur when you have the flu, covid, I gave shiur during my son's wedding a few years ago while my daughter was giving birth and she went unconscious the just the consistency there's no stopping and many people feel that about it's if when you do something every single day it becomes part of you it's very very difficult to stop that's the beauty of the daf yomi. Good morning, Rabboisai ah!! okay. Many people know who Reb Eli Stefansky is. Arguably the biggest daily Torah teacher today, but most don't really know what's behind the man, what motivates him, what breaks him, why is he actually doing all of this.
