Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: Up to Sights Team. You're listening to The Daily Game,
Speaker 1: the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years
Speaker 1: that I've found inspiring and help me through the game
Speaker 1: of life. It's time to reflect on everything you're thankful for.
Speaker 1: Happy Thanksgiving. Here's a quote for you today about how
Speaker 1: to treat your inner circle. The more people you cut off,
Speaker 1: the more you're able to do for those that truly
Speaker 1: deserve and appreciate it. And that's big. You know, having
Speaker 1: a whole lot of people in your circle, there's no
Speaker 1: real way you can help all of them. But as
Speaker 1: you start to decide who's really on your side and
Speaker 1: who's just there for the ride, and who's going to
Speaker 1: talk behind your back and who's not really down with
Speaker 1: you, your circle starts to get smaller and smaller. You feel
Speaker 1: more comfortable helping them because you know they're your ride
Speaker 1: or dies so beat and you're not wasting energy on
Speaker 1: people that don't deserve it. It was funny though, a
Speaker 1: lot of times they want us, the celebrities, to do things,
Speaker 1: and I was offered fifty thousand dollars to do something,
Speaker 1: and they said, you can donate it to charity. The
Speaker 1: amount of money I give out to people just to
Speaker 1: help them with this, that and the third people that
Speaker 1: I love, I could definitely donate that fifty grand to that.
Speaker 1: You know, I said, I got to start my own
Speaker 1: benevolent association. I do have charities I donate to, but
Speaker 1: you know, this day, I was like, yo, I could
Speaker 1: use that money to send to such and such they
Speaker 1: trying to get a house. People always ask me like,
Speaker 1: do you help your friends? And I'm like, if I
Speaker 1: only had one friend, I could afford to put him
Speaker 1: in a house right next door to me. I could
Speaker 1: split my money like that and buy him a house
Speaker 1: right next door to me. But I got fucking fifty friends.
Speaker 1: So that's the trickle down effect of the same philanthropy.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to be nice, but now I got to
Speaker 1: look it out for fifty people and relatives. It was funny.
Speaker 1: I was listening to Damn, one of my comedians friends,
Speaker 1: and he said, when his family found out how much
Speaker 1: he made, they quit their jobs. You know, so success,
Speaker 1: they'll bleed you, they'll bleed you. But if you learn
Speaker 1: to make the circle smaller, then When you do help,
Speaker 1: you're helping the ones that truly do deserve it, and
Speaker 1: that comes with time. Fortunately, I've been in the game
Speaker 1: over thirty years, so I've seen all kinds of betrayals
Speaker 1: and all kinds of bullshit, and I'm down to, honestly,
Speaker 1: in my life, maybe ten solid friends that I've known
Speaker 1: since high school that been there, that've rolled it out
Speaker 1: with me. And that's coming from having hundreds of people
Speaker 1: in my circle down to ten. My dad told me,
Speaker 1: if you can count your friends on your hand, you
Speaker 1: won the game. So don't feel bad when you start
Speaker 1: to tighten the circle. It's part of your evolution. This
Speaker 1: has been another ice cold fact from me iced tea.
Speaker 1: Listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your
Speaker 1: ass Till then, stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing.
Speaker 1: If you lose some of your baggage, you can focus
Speaker 1: on the people who are really there for you. Icy's
