WEBVTT - Only Fools Trip

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.279
<v Speaker 1>I see Daily Game. It's a production of I Heart Radio.

0:00:04.200 --> 0:00:07.600
<v Speaker 1>What's Up as I see you're listening to The Daily Game,

0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:12.160
<v Speaker 1>a compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years

0:00:12.200 --> 0:00:15.960
<v Speaker 1>that I found inspiring and helped me through the game

0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:20.200
<v Speaker 1>of life. Today's quote is something from the late the

0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:24.360
<v Speaker 1>great Iceberg Slim. For those of you don't know, Iceberg

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:27.520
<v Speaker 1>was a pimp and then later became a legit writer.

0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:31.639
<v Speaker 1>I was very fortunate to meet Iceberg Slim. I named

0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:34.720
<v Speaker 1>myself after Iceberg Slim. When I was in high school.

0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I used to read the books and I used to

0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:40.280
<v Speaker 1>spit a lot of knowledge and game from Iceberg slims

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:42.920
<v Speaker 1>to the young girl in high school. I would never

0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 1>tell him it was him. I thought they thought it

0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:48.279
<v Speaker 1>was me, you know, talking like a forty five year

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:51.840
<v Speaker 1>old player. But at some point people used to say,

0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 1>say some more that ice stuff tea, and that's where

0:00:56.920 --> 0:01:00.920
<v Speaker 1>iced tea came from. Iced tea is short for Iceberg.

0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 1>So my friends call me Berg in honor of Iceberg,

0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:07.200
<v Speaker 1>and I was fortunate enough to meet Iceberg Slim before

0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:10.759
<v Speaker 1>he passed. We also did a documentary on him called

0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:14.039
<v Speaker 1>Portrait of a Pimp that you could check out. I

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 1>told him my name myself after him, and he said,

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>but who better, baby, So he gave me the nod

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 1>to be the second Iceberg. Here's some knowledge from Iceberg.

0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Slim may rest in peace. A fool only trips on

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:36.199
<v Speaker 1>what's behind him. What that really is saying is that

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:40.200
<v Speaker 1>the things that are behind you have already happened, and

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 1>you have to keep moving forward. You can't get tied

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:46.160
<v Speaker 1>up on the past. A lot of people do that

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 1>and they can never progress because they are continuously thinking

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 1>about something that happened before that, something that happened back

0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 1>in the day. Something. You have to get past that

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 1>and move forward. So did you can do what you

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 1>gotta do, you know, like rip that rear view mirror

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 1>off that car and drive forward, and don't be a fool.

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Don't waste time tripping over something that has happened, because

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 1>you can't change that, but you can change your future.

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 1>This has been another ice Co fact from me ice Tea.

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.720
