Episode Transcript
I Sy's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's Up,
Sized Team, You're listening to The Daily Game the compilation
of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that I
found inspiring and helped me through the game of life.
Today's quote comes from legendary music producer Rick Rubin. Rick
(00:23):
Rubin is something else as far as a producer. He's
the pinnacle of being a producer. He's produced everybody from
early hip hop L COOLJ, Beastie Boys to speed metal
Slayer to Red Hot Chili Peppers. I was honored to
work with Rick Rubin. I did a duet with Slayer
(00:46):
and we did some punk rock exploited covers on the
Judgment Nights soundtrack. So Rick, pretty much what he says
is law, and he's always been in music, never anything else,
and just that producer that is going to get the
best out of you. And I love a lot of
Rick's quotes, but this is a great one. Demonstrate it,
(01:08):
don't explain it. This can go for everything, This can
go for everything, this can go for love in the streets.
We say, show and prove, That's what we say, Show
and prove. Don't tell me you my man, show me
you my boy, and prove it. Don't tell me you
love me, Show it and prove it. Rick just says
(01:30):
it a different way. Demonstrate it, don't explain it. You know,
it's so easy to tell somebody, Oh, I got your back,
I'm with you, I'm there forever that. Yeah, well demonstrate that.
Talk is cheap. And if you're a musician, don't tell
me how you're going to do the track. Don't don't
talk about it, don't explain do it. Go to the
(01:51):
studio do it. I'll understand the demonstration. You know. If
I'm an actor, I can tell you all about acting
theory and this is how it should be. Why don't
you just go up and get in front of cameraon
do it. Stop explaining things to people. Do it. There's
so many people out here in life that can explain
you how they're going to make a million dollars. Oh,
(02:12):
we're going to do this, we're gonna do that, We're
gonna do this, we're gonna do that. I would much
rather see the bank recy I would much rather show you.
Show me the bank receipt that you got ten twenty
million dollars in the bank. Now you got my attention
versus your theory on how it's gonna get done. Like
I always tell people, you know the difference between potential
(02:32):
and actual. An actual person can do it, demonstrate it.
A potential person loves to explain things, and this is
my theory and this is how it's gonna go now. Man,
Rick said it right, Man, Stop talking so fucking much.
Demonstrate it, don't explain it, just do it, and then
(02:53):
people will understand that you know what the fuck you're
talking about. 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. The best way to prove something is to
(03:14):
show them. Show improve ICE's Daily Game. It is a

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
