WEBVTT - Everyone is Dispensable

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:07.640
<v Speaker 1>up to Sizes? Team? You're listening to? The Daily Game

0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:11.959
<v Speaker 1>a compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years

0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>that I've found inspiring and helped me through the game

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 1>of life. Today's quote comes from Robert de Niro. Just

0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:24.880
<v Speaker 1>be calm when things are going well. Don't thank you

0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 1>on top of the world. Everyone is dispensable. I mean,

0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Robert de Niro has always played the cool parts in

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.880
<v Speaker 1>the movies. I mean, whether it's Katee fear, whether it's heat.

0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:43.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, Robert de Niro is always compared with al

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:46.839
<v Speaker 1>Pacino is having that swag, being able to pull off

0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 1>the gangster roles, and me watching Robert de Niro away

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 1>from it and how he stood up and speaks his mind,

0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:57.480
<v Speaker 1>makes me respect the man as an actor. If you

0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.560
<v Speaker 1>don't have any favorite actors, you know, you can't be

0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:04.080
<v Speaker 1>in a field and not respect other people in that field.

0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Like you know, it's been well known. I'm a Brad

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Pitt fan. I love Paccino, de Niro. It's almost like

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 1>those are guaranteed people. So I totally respect de Niro's work.

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>What he's done. How he's been able to stay in

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>the game. Even as he's getting older, he's still hardcore.

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>He can do comedy. From me being an actor and

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.840
<v Speaker 1>getting into the acting world, definitely, you have to respect

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Robert de Niro's hustle, and I respect him as a

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:33.240
<v Speaker 1>man as well. They used to tell me the key

0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 1>to being cool is when you win, you don't get

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>that happy, and when you lose, you don't get that sad.

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 1>When things are going good for you, relax in that moment,

0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Absorb that moment, but do not let it go to

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:51.640
<v Speaker 1>your head. Don't start shitting on people, don't start acting extra,

0:01:51.800 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 1>don't don't lose your personality. Now, I believe fame doesn't change,

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 1>it only amplifies them. I don't believe that you change.

0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:07.280
<v Speaker 1>I think some people want to become famous to be assholes.

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Some people want to be the boss so they can

0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:13.440
<v Speaker 1>shit on people. That's just their personality. I think if

0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 1>you're cool, fame lets you be really cool. If you're

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 1>a good person, it gives you a great platform to

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 1>be a great person. If you're an asshole and a dickhead,

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:26.959
<v Speaker 1>fame gives you a great platform to be that too.

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.400
<v Speaker 1>So I believe fame and money does not change you.

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 1>It amplifies you. Now, once you're amplified, like de Niro says,

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 1>now you think you're on top, be calm, relax, appreciate

0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 1>that moment, don't play yourself, and get out of pocket.

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Because everyone is dispensable. And we've seen a lot of

0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 1>people get to this particular point, whether it's money, fame,

0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:57.840
<v Speaker 1>or whatever and just lose it all because you go

0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:02.320
<v Speaker 1>into a god complex think you're special. You're not special.

0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 1>You're lucky. You're blessed. You're blessed that people like you. You're

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 1>lucky that people like you. I'm acting people like me,

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 1>all right. There's people that can act circles around me.

0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 1>There's people that have been to college and got degrees

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:21.200
<v Speaker 1>in acting that could do Shakespeare all day, but people

0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 1>may not like them. So you're fucking lucky. How the

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 1>fuck do you get an ego behind that? How do

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:29.840
<v Speaker 1>you start thinking you're on top of the world because

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:34.760
<v Speaker 1>you're fucking special. Everyone is dispensable. You know, here's the

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 1>four stages of acting a show business. You ready one,

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>who is iced tea? Two? Get me iced tea? Three?

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Get me a young iced tea? For who the fuck

0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:52.760
<v Speaker 1>was ice Tea. That's it. You are dispensable, so we're

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.880
<v Speaker 1>people that they use to entertain and we understand that.

0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 1>But I don't care if you're in corporate world or whatever.

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Don't get on top and start thinking you can't be replaced.

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 1>That's the biggest mistake you'll ever make. This has been

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 1>another ice cold fact from me. Iced team. Listening again

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.920
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your ass till then,

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 1>stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing. When things are

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:25.839
<v Speaker 1>going well, just be thankful and never take it for granted.
