1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 1: I He's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: Up is Ice Team? You're listening to The Daily Game, 3 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:12,040 Speaker 1: the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years 4 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: that I found inspiring and helped me through the game 5 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: of life. Today's quote is something I keep in mind 6 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: to stay motivated, and it's coming from Axel Rose. We 7 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: were fortunate as body count to go out on the road. 8 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: We opened for Guns N' Roses and Metallica on one 9 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: of their tours, and we got to play stadiums with him, 10 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: and Axel was cool as hell. Duff McKagan became extremely 11 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: good friends with Ernie. Ernie was actually his best man 12 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: at his wedding. And Axel's just like me. He's outspoken, 13 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: he'll say some controversial stuff, but at the end of 14 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: the day, he's a good dude and he's the epitome 15 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: of a rock star. And I have nothing but good 16 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: things to say about Axel ros He says we are 17 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: made up of two contrasting ideals, love and fear. Pick 18 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: one and live. When I think about what Axel is saying, 19 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: I know love is one fear. I never really looked 20 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: at that as one of my primal ideals because I 21 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: think it's more love and hate. But fear motivates a 22 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: lot of people that hate, you know, so it might 23 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,119 Speaker 1: be deeper than that. But what he says is pick 24 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: one and live. So the decision is, are you going 25 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,279 Speaker 1: to be a lover? Are you going to be someone 26 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: who's out here trying to make things better, trying to 27 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: care about people, trying to be a good person. To me, 28 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: love means goodness, you know, when you're in a happily 29 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: loving relationship and when you look at your child and 30 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: the way you love it as a pure form of 31 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: just something that's beautiful, because it's that's true, that's real love. 32 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: Fear is something that we're afraid of, and I guess 33 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: we all have certain fears, even if it's just the 34 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: fear of death. But this would be how you're gonna 35 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: choose to live your life. Are you going to be 36 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: a loving person? Are you going to be afraid of 37 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: things and afraid to do things and not take those chances. 38 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: I think that's what he's getting at. And I don't 39 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: know if we need to overcome love, but you have 40 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: to overcome fear to make moves. There's no real safe moves. 41 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: We used to say, raise the risk, raise the profit. 42 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: But you have to step out of that comfort zone. 43 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: You can't be afraid of everything. You can't be afraid 44 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: of love. That's why they call it fall. When you 45 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: fall in love, it's kind of like you just, you know, 46 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: release everything and take that risk and hand over the 47 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: keys to somebody else and say, Okay, I'm about to 48 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: fall in love. I'm gonna let you have my heart 49 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: for a minute. See how this works out. You know, 50 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: And it's risky, but that's that's what Axel says, and 51 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: I agree with him. He said, you think about it, 52 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 1: Love versus fear, both super strong elements of the primal 53 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: human condition. Pick your lane. Well, I think I picked love. 54 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: Later on, early in my life, I was on the 55 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: dark side, so I was pushing negativity. I thought, since 56 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 1: life had been cold to me, I had to be negative. 57 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: That's how you win. But I was wrong. Love is 58 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: the answer, being a good person is the answer, and 59 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: being fearless might become reckless. But fear is just there 60 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: as a warning saying, okay, you're about to go into 61 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: a dangerous place. Pay attention. But you can conquer fear too. 62 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: You just have to be very alert. Same way with love, 63 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: you have to be very alert. This has been another 64 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: ice cold fact from me Iced tea.

Till then, 66 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: stay safe, stay smart, and choose love.
