I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's up to Sizes Tea. You're listening to The Daily Game, the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that I've found inspiring and helped me through the game of life. Today's quote comes from a decorated scientist and astronomer, Carl Sagan. Carl says it pays to keep an open mind,

but not so open your brains fall out. I understand this quote because there's so many people that are out there that are so open minded that they let every type of conspiracy theory or everything jump into their mind. And as soon as you tell them, nah, that's bullshit, they're like, oh, well, you're not keeping your mind open. I mean, even dealing with Coco, my wife, she's the most open minded individual on earth. That's an overstatement, but she is, and she just believes every thing. You know,

I'm not in the ghosts. She's like, oh, you got to keep your mind open. I told her. I said, look, I ain't never had a paranormal experience. Here's the deal. If you see a ghost, pointed out to me, if I see the motherfucker too, follow my lead, and I'll show you the fastest root out of this house. Goddamn it, you dig. But I'm skeptic when it comes to certain things because I haven't experienced it. I haven't been abducted by aliens. Okay, I've watched a lot of shows where

a lot of people have. I can't sit up and call them liars. I can't say the delusion, know, I can't say that it all happened in their brain. There's enough of them they might have been abducted. So keeping an open mind is cool, but not so open that every idea that anybody puts in you you feel you have to just acknowledge that, use your own intelligence so that you know when you're dealing with a quack or you're dealing with somebody because they're people that will work

on open minded individuals and take advantage of them. So have an open mind, but also have enough sense to call bullshit when you feel it. And I hate people to call bullshit on everything. No, those are closed minded individuals. So let's go back to what Carl Sagan says. It pays to keep an open mind. It's good to have an open mind, but not so open that your fucking brain falls out, and now you're just taking in every bit of information from everybody, and it's all possibly true.

I'm open minded about religion enough to where I don't adhere to a religion because I don't know who's telling the truth and I don't want to get into heaven or wherever. And there's a hot day Krishna, dude sitting there saying memor me at that airport, motherfucker. You know, So I can't pick one because all of them adamant believe lead they're the right one. So for me to pick one, I am dissing another one and I'm smart

enough not to play that game. So I just try to live righteous and do the right thing, because I think that's the basis of all religions. Do the right thing, be a good person, and I'll get into wherever the fuck I'm supposed to get into, if there is some fucking place. This has been another ice cold fact from me. Iced team listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your ass. Till then, stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing that having an open mind can change your

life for the better and sometimes for the worse. Ices daily game, it's a production of iHeartRadio, Final Level of Entertainment and Oddity and Asylum Entertainment Company.
