WEBVTT - Cut Them Off

0:00:00.200 --> 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 Sights Team. You're listening to The Daily Game,

0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:11.920
<v Speaker 1>the 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 help me through the game

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:21.439
<v Speaker 1>of life. It's time to reflect on everything you're thankful for.

0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Happy Thanksgiving. Here's a quote for you today about how

0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:29.760
<v Speaker 1>to treat your inner circle. The more people you cut off,

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:32.839
<v Speaker 1>the more you're able to do for those that truly

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:38.600
<v Speaker 1>deserve and appreciate it. And that's big. You know, having

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:41.479
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot of people in your circle, there's no

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:44.200
<v Speaker 1>real way you can help all of them. But as

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:46.839
<v Speaker 1>you start to decide who's really on your side and

0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>who's just there for the ride, and who's going to

0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:51.760
<v Speaker 1>talk behind your back and who's not really down with

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 1>you, your circle starts to get smaller and smaller. You feel

0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>more comfortable helping them because you know they're your ride

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 1>or dies so beat and you're not wasting energy on

0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:06.360
<v Speaker 1>people that don't deserve it. It was funny though, a

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:09.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of times they want us, the celebrities, to do things,

0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>and I was offered fifty thousand dollars to do something,

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 1>and they said, you can donate it to charity. The

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:20.679
<v Speaker 1>amount of money I give out to people just to

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:22.959
<v Speaker 1>help them with this, that and the third people that

0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:26.240
<v Speaker 1>I love, I could definitely donate that fifty grand to that.

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, I said, I got to start my own

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:32.600
<v Speaker 1>benevolent association. I do have charities I donate to, but

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:34.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, this day, I was like, yo, I could

0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 1>use that money to send to such and such they

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 1>trying to get a house. People always ask me like,

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.400
<v Speaker 1>do you help your friends? And I'm like, if I

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.119
<v Speaker 1>only had one friend, I could afford to put him

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 1>in a house right next door to me. I could

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:49.559
<v Speaker 1>split my money like that and buy him a house

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:53.200
<v Speaker 1>right next door to me. But I got fucking fifty friends.

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 1>So that's the trickle down effect of the same philanthropy.

0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to be nice, but now I got to

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 1>look it out for fifty people and relatives. It was funny.

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 1>I was listening to Damn, one of my comedians friends,

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.519
<v Speaker 1>and he said, when his family found out how much

0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>he made, they quit their jobs. You know, so success,

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>they'll bleed you, they'll bleed you. But if you learn

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 1>to make the circle smaller, then When you do help,

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:25.960
<v Speaker 1>you're helping the ones that truly do deserve it, and

0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.840
<v Speaker 1>that comes with time. Fortunately, I've been in the game

0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:33.079
<v Speaker 1>over thirty years, so I've seen all kinds of betrayals

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.440
<v Speaker 1>and all kinds of bullshit, and I'm down to, honestly,

0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:40.839
<v Speaker 1>in my life, maybe ten solid friends that I've known

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.359
<v Speaker 1>since high school that been there, that've rolled it out

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 1>with me. And that's coming from having hundreds of people

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 1>in my circle down to ten. My dad told me,

0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 1>if you can count your friends on your hand, you

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 1>won the game. So don't feel bad when you start

0:02:55.480 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 1>to tighten the circle. It's part of your evolution. This

0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 1>has been another ice cold fact from me iced tea.

0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.839
<v Speaker 1>Listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your

0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:13.760
<v Speaker 1>ass Till then, stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing.

0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 1>If you lose some of your baggage, you can focus

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:20.519
<v Speaker 1>on the people who are really there for you. Icy's
