1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: Up to Sights Team. You're listening to The Daily Game, 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: that I've found inspiring and help me through the game 5 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: of life. It's time to reflect on everything you're thankful for. 6 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 1: Happy Thanksgiving. Here's a quote for you today about how 7 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: to treat your inner circle. The more people you cut off, 8 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: the more you're able to do for those that truly 9 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: deserve and appreciate it. And that's big. You know, having 10 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: a whole lot of people in your circle, there's no 11 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 1: real way you can help all of them. But as 12 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: you start to decide who's really on your side and 13 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: who's just there for the ride, and who's going to 14 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: talk behind your back and who's not really down with 15 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: you, your circle starts to get smaller and smaller. You feel 16 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: more comfortable helping them because you know they're your ride 17 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: or dies so beat and you're not wasting energy on 18 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: people that don't deserve it. It was funny though, a 19 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: lot of times they want us, the celebrities, to do things, 20 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: and I was offered fifty thousand dollars to do something, 21 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: and they said, you can donate it to charity. The 22 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: amount of money I give out to people just to 23 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: help them with this, that and the third people that 24 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: I love, I could definitely donate that fifty grand to that. 25 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: You know, I said, I got to start my own 26 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: benevolent association. I do have charities I donate to, but 27 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: you know, this day, I was like, yo, I could 28 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: use that money to send to such and such they 29 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: trying to get a house. People always ask me like, 30 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: do you help your friends? And I'm like, if I 31 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: only had one friend, I could afford to put him 32 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: in a house right next door to me. I could 33 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,559 Speaker 1: split my money like that and buy him a house 34 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: right next door to me. But I got fucking fifty friends. 35 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: So that's the trickle down effect of the same philanthropy. 36 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: I'm trying to be nice, but now I got to 37 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: look it out for fifty people and relatives. It was funny. 38 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: I was listening to Damn, one of my comedians friends, 39 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 1: and he said, when his family found out how much 40 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: he made, they quit their jobs. You know, so success, 41 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: they'll bleed you, they'll bleed you. But if you learn 42 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: to make the circle smaller, then When you do help, 43 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: you're helping the ones that truly do deserve it, and 44 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: that comes with time. Fortunately, I've been in the game 45 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: over thirty years, so I've seen all kinds of betrayals 46 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: and all kinds of bullshit, and I'm down to, honestly, 47 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,839 Speaker 1: in my life, maybe ten solid friends that I've known 48 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 1: since high school that been there, that've rolled it out 49 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: with me. And that's coming from having hundreds of people 50 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: in my circle down to ten. My dad told me, 51 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: if you can count your friends on your hand, you 52 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: won the game. So don't feel bad when you start 53 00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: to tighten the circle. It's part of your evolution. This 54 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: has been another ice cold fact from me iced tea. 55 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,839 Speaker 1: Listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your 56 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: ass Till then, stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing. 57 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: If you lose some of your baggage, you can focus 58 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 1: on the people who are really there for you.
