STREET SMART VS. SMART - MILLION DOLLAZ WORTH OF GAME EPISODE 377
0 min
•May 3, 202627 days agoSummary
Episode 377 explores the contrast between street smarts and book smarts, featuring discussions on prison experiences, relationships, parenting challenges, and a business spotlight on government contracting in landscaping. The hosts debate generational divides, social media oversharing, and the value of different types of intelligence in real-world success.
Insights
- Street smarts and life experience often produce more tangible results than formal education alone, though a combination of both is most powerful
- Parental alienation after relationship breakdowns disproportionately harms children, with mothers sometimes weaponizing custody to punish ex-partners
- Social media trauma-sharing for attention creates false vulnerability and invites unnecessary criticism from strangers with no genuine investment
- Government contracting success requires understanding procurement systems and NAICS codes more than owning equipment or resources
- Generational criticism stems from older people's regret and missed opportunities rather than legitimate concern for younger generations
Trends
Rise of non-traditional business models bypassing traditional startup requirements (no equipment needed for 6-7 figure contracts)Increasing parental custody weaponization as relationship dissolution tactic affecting child developmentSocial media as primary outlet for personal crises replacing family/community support systemsGenerational divide widening due to different opportunity access and economic conditionsGovernment contracting becoming accessible to entrepreneurs through knowledge of procurement portals and RFP processesShift in masculinity discourse around sexual compatibility and relationship expectationsPrison reform and rehabilitation narratives gaining mainstream podcast visibilityMentorship from immigrant workers driving business scaling and operational efficiency

You now tuned into million dollars worth of game. Yes. Now I got to take you back to something real important. If you've been with us, you've been with us since back in the day, but got to take you to some crazy shit stories from the cell. Now this week I just happened to go back to a prison that I was in. I was once housed in. I go back to the prison, but I also went back to cook. You know, I was like a bank with things. So, you know, everybody knows I was the chef of North. So I go into prison to cook. I'm doing my thing. And the process of me cooking, unbelievable spread. I'm talking about this, not no regular stuff. We really in the kitchen. I'm really cooking some real food that I could cook in any restaurant in the world and they'll eat it. They'll pay me top dollar for it, whatever. So as me doing my chef thing, this dude pop up in the prison. I don't even know how you got in there. I don't even know because I'm not even focused. I'm just focusing on cooking. So he pop up. Oh my God, they waiting for you guys. I'm like, but I'm like, okay. So me, me being who I be, I seen a couple of ways. I threw a couple of ways on him because I wanted him to go through a whole prison, the whole prison journey to understand it. You know what I mean? He, he listened, but, but, but this will happen. This was so wild about this shit. So in this particular prison, they got a dog program, right? Man, man right here, as soon as he get there, he start rubbing on the dog. He's sitting in some new bed in the cell. It's all enough. So I'm like, wow, what the like, he went crazy. Hey, fluffy, fluffy. He's rubbing the dog. He rubbing the dog and all that stuff. Next thing you know, he's some here and somebody sell on the bed. I'm not lying. I'm not lying. So it don't matter. As we proceed to keep going, as we leave in the hallway, because I'm like, damn, I'm gonna go, so we walking through the hallway and he experienced a dry bar, right? Now, a lot of people don't know what a dry bar, let me explain what a dry bar is. Right? And I knew what happened and I'm glad it happened to him, right? Because he always talking to jail stuff about me and all these stories that I supposedly done this and that. So a dry bar is when more likely as an older fella, it usually be an old gene, an old head, old head, literally walk by and you know, you might have a little boner tied to your leg and just do a white bar. It was a dry bar. Wipe out. Excuse me. Like they try and get behind you. He's gonna know it's cool, old head. He gonna have, I'm like, yo, he just did a dry bar with you. He's like, what the fuck is going, no, I'm telling you, if you was an independent, you know, but a dry bar, this is what always do. I'm telling you, he did a dry bar. He's so sweet and so stupid and so green to this lifestyle that I used to live when the old head walked by, right? Oh, he had walked by. I repeat it. And then he smiled. So many smell. He's talking, Oh, excuse me, young boy. He's going to law school away. Like, walk by. I said, damn, he did a dry bar. You could he's like, what's that? I said, he had a bonus. Let it slip between your joints real quick. He did. He did. You don't even know what was going on. And I'm like, and I'm like, listen, but I'm talking about, I never did walk by, but he do do. Like, I'm not gonna lie. This dude beat me. This was the happiest dude in the gym. I never seen somebody so fucking happy. He was hollering, but yo, let's go play basketball. I play basketball. First of all, first of all, first of all, shout out to my fucking out of the gingerbread, man. I seen him in there. You know what I mean? I didn't even know he was going to be in there. So, you know, shout out to him. Rockstar brother. But uh, no, when I got there, I was kind of fucked up because I was like, this got to be like a lower level type of prison. Like, the niggas was playing PlayStation in that joint. No, they do that. Like they had two PlayStation's lined up and the niggas was in here. You wanted to stay. You wanted to play man. No, somebody would like, come on, girl, let's battle a man. Would you would have battled them? Somebody called you up. You would have been chilling there eating your joint. Go, go, go, give me a brown shirt. No, see what she was jealous about is that I could just walk the block so freely. Like you got your course. You did. Oh, he did a draw ball. You got it. You got introduced in the prison. But I'm gonna keep it all the way real. What I was fucked up about was that all of them people was waiting for your food like that and they fucked that food up. Talk about it was that good. I was fucked up about that. I ain't cuz you was you've been hating on me for years that I'm not a chef. Like I think that it's because them niggas ain't had no outside food in so long. Might have just been they just didn't do something different. You saw what I did. You saw the spread that I put down. You had crab cakes. You had shrimp. You had fried. I mean, baked barbecue chicken. No, it was wingdings wingdings all type of flavor wingdings.

Hey, brother man, brother man, brother man, you was giving a shout outs to I just was bringing some inspiration to the brothers desk behind the wall. You know, sometimes a lot of them is, you know, forgotten about, you know what I mean? To I'm in the middle of filming, babe. But my thing is like this, this month, you just was so chipper in there. No, I mean, you know, a lot of times the brothers behind the wall be the forgotten, you know, he was in there. He was in there for a long time. And he felt like he was forgot.

But but if it was like there's no bullshit, there's no this is no I'm not playing. I'm not joking on that. If Gil would have been in there for another 24 hours, he wouldn't win in his first date. He wouldn't want to date in there. Oh, it would have took him on a date. I swear I'm not lying. Oh, it would have took him on a date. He would have been on a date because he was so happy in there. And when all he did the drive on him, he didn't even know what was going on. I said, cause walk to the side of the wall. We just walk past, you know, motherfucking drive. So what's that? I just say, excuse me. No, it's cool. Oh, I said, damn, he got he ain't smiling. Got you. I said, he got him. He did a drive by. That's the oldest trick in the book. Yeah. All right, man.

What's up OG, what's up WALA, what's up Gilly? First off, I wanna shout both you guys out and watch you guys for years and I absolutely love you guys. Oh look, I'm 27, right? I've been messing with this Christian woman for a minute man. She got my nose open, I ain't on a lie. She got my nose open, like she like, everything you want in a book, she kinda like, she's almost that. You feel me? That's my problem though. She don't believe in sex until marriage. And like, yo, I'm not gonna lie, I have my experiences or stuff like that. The problem ain't, the problem ain't waitin', I don't mind waitin', you feel me? That's not even an issue. The problem is waitin' until marriage. It's like, damn man, cause like, we would have to get married within the years. But that's not ideal, you know what I mean? So it's like, what do I do man? I really do like her. She's like, almost everything you would want, I would want. But it's like, damn, I gotta wait until marriage in order to touch you? I mean, honest, I don't mind waitin', that's not old G, but it's the waitin' until marriage part. It's like, damn, I don't know. So, no, if y'all could help me, I would love to hear what y'all gotta say about it, but man, I deal woman, I deal with women. Let me say this man, me personally, there's two ways of seeing this, right? Me, I don't mind waitin', I was waitin' for years. You know what I mean? Shake in the dice, understand it, but I was waitin' in jail, cause I couldn't have no access to it. You wasn't waitin' any shut up. I was, I was waitin', but I'mma say, social media have you believe in that there's no good women out there. We can't believe on that. So, a lot of times, I don't know if it's in your head, it's you like, man, she did something before or whatever, she just tryin' to explain me why I gotta wait, why I gotta be the dude to wait. Sometimes it's like that. And the reality is, she might really be locked in on what she believe in her religion and wanna fulfill what God tellin' her, she wanna obey by God rules. So, at the end of the day, it is what it is. Either you gonna be with her or you're not. But if you really wanna wait for her, wait for her. If you don't, there's plenty of things out here, but I don't mean that everything, it don't mean the things that you gonna go ahead and gonna get, it's gonna be connected to what you want tomorrow. So you just gotta, you know, figure that out. I think, I think that's some dinosaur shit. Fuck what he talkin' about. Don't nobody drive no car without, don't nobody buy no fuckin' car without Tess driving that bitch. Fuck you want me to buy a brand new Lamborghini. Spokes that run like a Lamborghini, but I won't know if it run like a Lamborghini unless I buy it. No, I gotta tell you, Dr. Out of this motherfucker, man. You think I wanna be stuck with some bad pussy for the rest of my life? Oh, till death do us part, till they all let the shit. And then I get you home for the first time and crack you open. And it's just some fucked up vagina? No, I'm not being stuck with that. Be the fastest marriage and divorce in the history of fuckin' life. You mean you wanna stick me with a fuckin' lemon forever? Fuck no. So no, I don't believe in that shit. I believe she can make you wait. You feel what I'm saying? But you know, that's like putting you in a bond. Oh, you gotta marry me. No, come on, man. That shit was back in 19, motherfucker, 38, man. It's 20, 26, man. We gonna wait till we trust you till we got enough trust goin' and then you gonna crack the muff on crab legs open, man. And I'm gonna bring the motherfucker hot, warm, what up there in the motherfucker OB season. And I'm gonna fuck the motherfucker Spark plugs in the brain. You don't eat crab legs though. That's what I do, I like the underneath crab legs. Oh, I ain't no you eat the underneath the low joints. Fuck no, I don't eat the low cheap ass joints, man. Just playing around, man. Ain't no fuckin' meat in them joints, man. You know what I'm saying? Oh, so you like that meat? No, I stop playin', man. I'm just sayin', you said they don't eat them, Joe. I like crab legs, man. Ain't no meat in them, Joe. I like meat. It was meat in the jail the other day. Oh, hey, did what he did to you. I'm just sayin'. I'm just sayin', I ain't no, me personally, I'm never waitin' to marry a motherfucker before I get a mask, man. That's just not what I'm doin'. Like, I don't give a fuck how connected we was and all that, like, same thing for her. Like, oh, you waited, now nigga, now nigga fuck you. And nigga can't do nothin', man. Nigga can't touch the middle of the oven, tobacco the oven, none of that shit, man. Nigga just barely crackin' the motherfucker's seal with a Pepsi open, man. You wanna be stuck with that for the rest of your life. But what makes you think that you the guy that you so extraordinary that she said, she should give up her virginity? Or I'm sayin', what if she was a virgin? You think she should give up her virginity for a maybe? Let me just tell you somethin'. Most marriages is maybes. What the fuck we talkin' about out here? 60% of marriages fail. You know what I mean? Nigga stand up there, cry all that shit, lookin' motherfuckin' bitch in the eye, she lookin' nigga in the eye, dude. I love her, ooh, I love her. She's probably faceless. I love her, I love you. We goin' off in case it, ooh, the year later. I hate you bitch, I'm done, die, I don't fuck with you. Fuck you too, nigga, get out, I hate you. Come on, man, that shit, so what we talkin' about? Like, you know how hard it is to crack a fuckin' virgin? You see, you ain't never had no virgin ass back in the day, that's what you ain't had no virgin. I want you to answer this, D.N. That's frustrating, man, you tryin' to get up in the fuckin' virgin, man. I gotta DM for you, cuz. You motherfucker with a little bit experience of some shit. Dude, don't want me to, you don't want me to say his name. All right. But, he said he just wanna go by Mike. All right. All right. Can't say his real joint in the DM. Come on, Mike. What's up, Wild on Gilly? My name's Mike, I'm goin' through an issue right now. The issue that I'm goin' through right now is that, I'm not as big as I wanna be. And then he goes on, he like, the laughin' faces, no, the laughin' faces, no, I'm dead serious. I'm dead serious. I seem like I keep having problems with girls. Every time I get with them, they think I'm funny, they think I'm cool, we go out, I'm a great dator, you know, I'm in shape, I'm this, but I'm just not big enough, it seemed like, because every time after I finally connect with a woman on the next level, it get weird. He is, dick disconnect them. What do you think, hold up, what do you think I do? And he said, what do you think I do next? And will I still, will I continue to keep having this problem? I don't know how to answer that. You and him in the same category. Fuck outta here. That's a wild joint. Man, at the end of the day, when he look in the mirror, he understand when he comin' up short. See, that's the first answer to your problem, when you recognize what you got goin' on. When you able to look yourself in the face as a man and say, damn, I just ain't got it. But the best part about it is now you can go get it. Fuck the bull. Like, you can't, what you just gonna be runnin' right here for the rest of your life, three inches, man? Nah, man, go ahead out with the bang, man. Add motherfuckin' like 10 on, man. Now you 13, man. You slap a bitch from across the room, man. Yeah, me for all them days that you was shrimpy, man. You know what I mean? For all them days they asked you to open up a restaurant called Shrimpies. Now you get the motherfuckin' open up a restaurant called motherfuckin' the Sausage Links. Slap a bitch from across the room now. Like, bro, listen, you only die once. You, like, let's be for real. Like, so you better let this shit out. If you got some money and you sufferin', and you could go fix it, man, shit, I would go fix it. Fuck we don't want to. That's why I took you, I took you to the doctor, and that's what happened. That's what I took you there, stop fuckin' lying. I got another question, right? This dude right here, he don't mind his name being said. My name Terrence, I'm from Detroit, Michigan. I'm goin' through a problem. Maybe Gil could answer this and not you while I load, but I'm goin' through a problem. Me and my baby, mine, we was tight. We was raisin' our son together, everything was cool. I got court-cheatin', and it seemed like ever since I got court-cheatin', it been held from near. We wind up breakin' up a year over a year ago. Now, I'm havin' problems seein' my son, and it's also seemin' like my son is just pullin' away from me. Me and him used to be tight, this is my little man. I love him to death, would do anything for him. But ever since I cheated on his mom, I don't know what's goin' on in the house, and I don't know what she's tellin' him to make him seem distant every time I'm close to him or every time we together. You know, so now it's like she just holdin' him away from me, and I can't see him as much. What do I do about this? Because this is my son, it's not a regular person where I could just let it go. It's really hurtin' me inside, and I'm tryin' not to really go through nothin' with her. I'm tryin' not to really go through nothin' with her, because I know how that could become, and it seemed like every time, but he said, but it also seemed like every time we on the phone, she always get me to snap out in some type of way, and I think he bein' the background hearin' it. What do I do? I don't know what to do, I'm lost. But first and foremost, right? A lot of times, you know, when you in a relationship with a woman, right, and you know, you get court cheat, nor you go through whatever type of issues you go through, and then you and a woman is no longer together. A lot of times these women in 2026 become BBs, that's called a bitter bitch. You feel what I'm sayin'? And now, instead of them dealin' with you in a grown woman, grown man aspect of the game, nah, this is now, this is, I'm gonna try to make every aspect of your life difficult. I know you had a relationship with your son, but I'm gonna try to fuck that up, because the advice that I'm gonna give him in this household is definitely not gonna be beneficial for you, because I'm a bitter bitch. I can't get over the fact that you cheated on me, that you went out there and you slapped another bitch in the biscuit with your sausage. I can never get over that. I'm never gonna be in a dealt about this and say, you know what, you did what you did, we not together, I'm movin' on, you movin' on, I'm never goin'. So, until your son is old enough to have a relationship with you and figure out who you really is and who you really not as an adult, as a personal adult who now could see, my mom said he was this way, but he ain't really like that. If my mom said you didn't care, but oh, then that's when shit gonna change. You feel what I'm sayin'? But don't you think he's takin' a loss all these years? You wanna take your son to football practice, you wanna do this and that and now everything gettin' weird? I think that pulls. I mean, at the end of the day, right? When a lot of times when you got a situation where the parents split up, most of the times the child or the Maggley is goin' with the mother. You feel what I'm sayin'? So naturally, the child spends more time with the mother. You feel what I'm sayin'? So naturally, a child is mindset in how they look at life and how they view things a lot of times is shaped from in the household. So if I spend my most time with you and you shape in my mind to believe that my dad ain't this, my dad don't really love me like that, he don't care for me, he didn't, that's what I'ma believe. But that shit hurt, for a man, I just know that will hurt because it's like, damn, that's my little guy right here, that's little me. Right, but it take a real solid female to be like, I'm a fuckin' adult. See, that was some back in the day shit. We break up, we break up. We argue, we don't even try to argue in front of the kids. We don't, now, the mama be like, fuck you, you ain't shit ass nigga, you ain't never seen your fuckin' son pussy and the son is sitting right here, the son is in the back seat of the car. You feel what I'm saying? It's not, a lot of these women now today is mommy's sisters. They wanna, they they they they mom, but they wanna be their sister too, they wanna be their homie, they wanna, they don't lay down no discipline like that, they wanna be doing all the TikTok videos with the, like. But what about the dads is like that too though? Yeah, there's a lot of dads like that too, but what I'm seeing, what I'm saying, listen, let's be for real, in the history of life has been a lot of bitch ass ain't shit ass niggas in the history of life. Whereas though, a nigga son could be right here and a nigga could live five, seven, eight blocks away and he don't ever see his son. That's the history of life. That's weird, yeah, I don't see him, that's dumb shit. Right now, more than ever, I'm seeing. Dedication isn't born in the light of day, it's carved in the quiet hours before the world blinks awake. At Boris Head, we rise with a mission to deliver craftsmanship worthy of your table. A slice of something special folded into every moment worth savoring because dedication means delivering only the very best. Boris Head, committed to craft since 1905. Men, I don't give a fuck what color they is. Black, white, peach, orange, purple, struggling, trying to have a relationship with a son, with a daughter, but the baby mom is the issue. All because, okay, I made a mistake. All because she made a mistake. I called her cheating. I called her out of pocket and I left and now I can't see my son. Come on, bro, how many motherfuckers do we see that's going through this shit? And these be some real sincere niggas. Like, bro, I ain't seen my son in like three months. Like, I call him, I could be on the middle of the phone talking to my son, she had just hang up. All right, he gotta do homework. Like, niggas really out here going through this shit. And that's fucked up when you think about it. As many women out here gotta raise kids by themselves with no assistance, a raggedy ass nigga don't give a fuck at all, nigga in the same city, nigga don't show up to no graduations, nigga don't show up to no track meets, no basketball games, no football games, no nothing. As many women gotta deal with niggas like this, you mean to tell me that you got a nigga that wanna be in a kid's life, but because he did something wrong to you, now the kid gonna suffer, that don't make no fucking sense, man, the only person that's getting fucked over is the kid. And I just see a lot of that shit going on out here. I see a lot of brothers, a lot of white people, a lot of motherfucking, every race suffering from that shit, man. That's crazy because I look at it like this, man, like me personally growing up, I had stepfather, I had hit you know in my life, and he was there as much as possible whenever he wasn't locked up or whatever. And you know, it's just crazy, you know, I think it's just crazy, the fact of, see me, I was there from my pop disappeared when I was a kid, so don't know if he got killed, don't know the situation, whatever. But to know that my, them just saying this to me, could you see it's something to hit? To know your dad is seven to eight blocks away, or to know that you kids see your dad and he don't see you, I'm talking about the dudes that don't show up for the kids. To know that you a father, just think about this. To know that you bring a kid into this world as a man, and know that you know where that kid live at, to know that you live in the same city as that kid, blocks away or whatever, have access to him, no, and don't pull up on your kid, you a fucking loser, man. You a loser, there's no way you can't get around that, you a loser, because all the guidance this kid need, all the protection this kid need, all the leadership, this kid needs so much, and you can just by showing up, you could be there. You know how many times I go to football games or whatever, and I see none but moms there, and I'm like, I know these dudes, where the dad's at? You know how crazy it is when your dad walking there? You turn it up, you might go from being on the business to getting 23, my pop in there. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, you know, when I was young, I ain't had nobody there, but I still was getting 23, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying, I was. That was my head game, you know that, you saw my trophies, they ain't here somewhere. You had some bootleg ass trophies too. No, they ain't give out membership trophies, they ain't give out participation trophies back in the day, I was him, I was him back in the day, but I'm just saying, like, if you a dad, man, take, oh, hold on, here go one of my trophies, right here, come here, give me that. This is the championship MVP joint, right? I went back and this one, I got the MVP. Let me see, let me see. Well, I was people, look, look, you see that, oh! Excuse me, this one, I was him. This, make sure we get a squids in there. This one, I was him. Yo, that shit really do say MVP. Bro, I was him, look. What the fuck was that, the special Olympics? No, 1993, no, no, no, 1993 championship St. Michael's, I was MVP, this what I'm saying, I gotta get this rest, rest of the rest of the rest. Yo, this nigga had, this shit had to be the fucking, no, this is back to the special Olympics, but it had to be. I gotta get a screw, I gotta bring this back. The only way you could have been MVP is Niggas was in wheelchairs. No, I gotta send this to stacking up. Ain't no fucking way, bro. Boys, yo, I gotta get this screwed up, but listen. And I got a nigga in a wheelchair beating you one on one, man. No, you see that, you ain't got no, bro, this shit say MVP, man, this piece of shit. Don't break my jaw, man. This was a cheap ass trophy too, bro. I was him back then, that's what I'm saying, like. Yeah, my trophies was a little better than this. It don't matter, that was 1993, I was an MVP. They had me projected to go, listen, they had me projected to go to the league. 1993, ho, come on, man. You now you breaking my jaw. Come on, man, you want some dumb shit. Look, it's like your fucking game, it don't. No, come on, man. That was 93, man, I was him, I told you. I can't believe that shit, I think you bought that fucking. How am I gonna buy that? Listen, you see how old and broke down to this? Look how dirty it is, bro, that was in the basement. They put that nigga name on it. I was MVP, man, I had like 30 that game. But let me just tell you something. He said, we can't see the stats and all that. What? The one thing I can definitely tell you is, he was locked up. It don't matter. It's the same. No, no, no, no, no, no, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. Let me get it, let me get it. He was booked and cooked. Let me say this though. Let me say this though, cuz, let me say this. St. Michael's School for Boy, he plays in the Catholic, the Catholic School League in Northeast in Pennsylvania, right? All Scrae and Wicksbury and all around, all the St. Paul, St. Joseph, we played all of them. And I was going through their barbecue and shit. You think what I'm saying? They used to call me the grill back then. When I used to come down, the grill was coming. They used to call me the grill or everything alive. When I got this trophy, my name was the grill. Nobody never had that name. That's why I knew they already had me brandable for the NBA. Man, they called you the grill. They called me the grill, they used to throw people on the grill. They used to fucking style out like this, all they seen was your grills. No, they used to throw people on the grill. Every time I come down and listen, cuz. Look at the grill. Cuz. I'm no Johnny. Cuz. What the fuck out of here? I broke a record in that league one time. All they seen was your grill spiling on the floor. I broke a record in that. What record? I had 21, three-point is in one game. I'm done. Let's go to the next caller, man. I killed him. I ain't the fuck out of it. Listen. Go to the next caller, man. I ain't listening to that shit, man. Why you hating to be bad? 21 threes in one fucking game. I killed him, man. Hey, it's Hannah Montoya. Abercrombie's new summer drop is our latest obsession. There's tons of colorful swim, flowy dresses, and they just released new linen blend matching sets. Everything feels so light and breathable, it's perfect for brunch or rooftop happy hours, just like you're on vacation. Shop Abercrombie in the app, online, and in stores. It's like 65, fuck. My question is, why the- Oh. 21 threes in one game. They call me the grill, man. I gotta send that to Stack in them. Could they just take it? Let's go. My question is, why the older generation and the younger generation gotta be so bad? Like, the old heads always call the wide ends crazy, and the wide ends always call the old heads something like that. What is there ever gonna be unity? Or do you think there will ever be unity? I'm gonna say this. You cut that part up. I'm gonna say this. One thing about the young boys, right? And I call them young brothers, young boys, right? Whatever they may be. Let me just explain something to them. Me and Gil is more lenient on the young people because we was young. And when we was young, we was on some dumb shit. We was dumb, we was goofy. A lot of people that's critical about these young cats, they really was never out there. So they, you know, it's cool. You can't teach what you don't know. You can't leave when you don't go. It's cool to sit down and criticize somebody because you never live that life. So you don't understand it. When you understand you have more of a, you're more sympathetic and understanding of their journey. So you understand he's still trying to figure these self-out, especially when you coming from the ghetto. When you coming, so I don't look at a young brother and I don't be like, do this, you that. They still trying to figure these self-out. I used to be trying to figure myself out. And I think I did more dumb shit than some of them. So it's a battle going on because a lot of people just want to be critical to be critical. You know, it's just something, you know, it's the same thing happened when we was young. You just had old heads, they be like, man, you're always just complaining to be complaining. See, you gotta understand this. We'll have an answer, ask the question. You gotta understand this. When dudes get older, they get grumpy. Like they get grumpy, man. When dudes get older, they just be mad to be mad because they gotta look at these young fellas and they looking at all the opportunities that they got wishing that they had them when they was coming up and they ain't got them and they life them went by. They life them been lost. So now they just want to be critical about everything. No matter what you do, damn, young boy, you J-Walk, man, y'all dick it. Like, come on, man, they ain't that deep. It's really not that deep. And I was a young and I was lost out here. So I don't be too critical about them. If I can share someone, I can share someone. But, you know, I don't know that, I don't understand it, man. But then I do because a lot of dudes just get older and they get miserable and they be grumpy as shit and they just be mad at everything is a problem. And also a lot of these older niggas ain't somebody to look up to. They don't send an example for these young niggas to look up to them. See, what I'm dealing with the young boys is for me, it's two different types of categories and two different types of ways that I deal with them. When I'm dealing with these young kids that really come from these harsh and these fucked up environments, where I know, okay, his mom on drugs, his dad ain't around, he grew up with his grandmother, his like 55 years old, he 12, ain't no connection here. She go to sleep every night at eight o'clock. He could do what the fuck he wanna do. I'm really more sympathetic on those kids than a kid that's coming from the suburbs, had every opportunity to be great, got his mother, got his father, but he just on some following shit. He just on some, I wanna be down shit. He just on some, I wanna be called a turkey shit. He don't really respect all his blessings the way he came from. He don't even respect how hard his mother and his father worked to make sure that he had the best things in life and they have to grow up in certain conditions. I'd be hard on them motherfuckers, just being honest with you. Because it's like, you really a dickhead, you really know better. It's the difference from a kid that don't know no better and a kid that all the way know better. So, I approach it in two different ways. I'm a little more lenient on the kids that come from a real struggle and a real background or a group home or you know what I'm saying? And I'm a lot stern on the kids that come from better environments and shit and just choose to just say, I just wanna do some dickhead shit. I just wanna be down. I just wanna be accepted by some street shit that I believe is cool. You know what I'm saying? It's deep. You know, it's just real deep man because it's just a vicious division. And that's just the women too, young versus old. Everybody's just in a battle and we don't need to be in the battle and I think we stronger together. Now, next we talking about street. Street, you know, the street approach, street smarts and book smarts. What's the difference? And is one better than the other? And when we talking about streets, we're not just talking about, let's say life smarts versus book smarts because you got a lot of people out here that made it happen of all nationalities, all colors, all backgrounds that they just had life smarts and they made it happen. Well, I think too, you know, when you say book smarts, you know what I'm saying? Like, I believe that I'm book smart. You know what I mean? Not as book smart as somebody that's a nerd. You know what I'm saying? But I do have somewhat of knowledge of being in school, you know, going through what I went, going through the whole process of being in school but I do believe that life smarts has produced way more for me in actual life than the book smarts. I believe that, you know what I mean? You know what I'm saying? I just believe that common sense also ain't always that common because you got a lot of people that's hella book smart. I'm talking about can answer pretty much any fucking question you ask them. But then those people don't always have common sense. All right, so when you got the mix of it because like when you think about it, you went to college, right? So you going to college, at the same time you going to college, we run around in streets doing dumb shit. Absolutely. But what did college do for you? Coming from the ghetto of predominantly white college, what did that do for you? How did that help you to this day? When you took a kid and you took them right out of the ghetto, you know what I mean? And you placed them in a 95% white environment. It taught me a lot of things. It taught me how to be myself no matter what environment that I was in. That's first and foremost. You feel what I'm saying? And then it taught me that because you know where we from, everybody problems was the white man's back in the day, you know what they think? The white man locked Johnny up. When I got to college, I met some of the nicest people that I ever met in my fucking life and they was not my color. You feel what I'm saying? Like shit that was like nothing of them was more of a big deal in our community. Like you feel what I'm saying? Like I could be like, damn, man, I need to run to the motherfucking store and get something. And it's like, oh, take my car. It's like, well, it ain't no nigga ever gave you his car. Like you've never heard that. Like it and then be like, wait, oh, you say it's like, yeah, you just going to the store, right? It's like so. And then it taught me the different kind of white people you got out here. Like you got some really fucked up white people out here, but you got some really fucking good white folks out here. You know what I'm saying? Like when I got there, I ain't really, you know, you could tell the motherfuckers that wasn't like, you know, they really make me feel no type of way because I was on the basketball team. I was accepted by the popular motherfuckers on campus. You feel me? But you also seen the motherfuckers that strayed away from your little bit. They ain't really had too much rap for you. You know what I'm saying? But that's cool. Long as you don't disrespect me, or long as you don't, you feel what I'm saying? So that was some of the biggest shit that I ever did was doing that because then it also taught me how when I walk in these rooms later on in life, how to just be me when I'm expressing myself, you know, you go in the meetings with us, we just us, man. We don't go in there and do the fake black, white voice and all of that shit. We go in the meetings and we us. And we always manage or seem to be able to close out the deals. You know what I'm saying? So that was one of the main things that I learned from going to, you know what I'm saying? And I also learned too that white people hate nigga shit until you're on their team. What do you mean? Like when I was up there and I was on the basketball team and I would score and do all the nigga shit, Tate loved it. He was going crazy with me. I like it. So it just let me know, okay, they might hate the nigga shit unless you on the team. Then you on the team, they love that shit. They celebrate with me. You feel what I'm saying? So I really went up there and changed the culture and basketball up there. Like I don't know if you was with me the other day, but it was a kid that went to Cabrini. He said, I graduated in 2012 and they still was telling everybody. Iconic summer moments deserve an iconic drink. Reach for Mountain Dew, an American original.

That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. He said, I went there in 2012 and they still was telling people. Yeah, you know, Gilly one here, he was a starting point guard. He was nice. I'm just saying this. I'm not taking it, but I'm just saying, because you went to college with 75 people in here. You tell me, the fuck you tell me, you like, like we talking about basketball. Dogs, stop playing. How much basketball? There were 75 people in the college, man. Like I'm just saying, the whole certificate that you get from going to that joint is equivalent to GED. Like, come on, man. You keep hyping it up. I was just, you don't tell nobody, listen, that's what I'm telling you. Don't tell nobody you play ball and counts. Because somebody's gonna be like, what you went to, or a host, you went to the U. You went to, you went to, you know what I mean? Like where you go to? See dog. The Ohio State, no, you didn't go to Penn State. You went to, listen, think about this. Just think about this. How do you play basketball? And you a legend, right? Think about this. You so much have a legend playing basketball in a high school that you go to, it's right across the street from Temple and you can't get in there. And they didn't want you. Bro, I didn't get a 700 on the SAT, bro. They didn't want you. The fuck you talking about? You got, listen, and Philly. Everybody wanted me to fuck you from this area. He said that he was the best player in Philly. And let me explain something to you. Philly got Temple, LaSalle, Drexel, University of Pennsylvania, Villanova, St. Joseph, Rutgers across the bridge. And you mean to tell me none of them wanted him, but he was the best basketball player in Philly. He had to go outside of Philly. I didn't go outside of Philly. He went outside of Philly to college that holds 75 people, but he's the best. Cause I know, I know, I know, I know, I know what me and Rasheed was playing. Me and Rasheed was playing. I played against Rasheed in high school. Me and Rasheed was playing against Greg. We was playing for Greg. Call Rasheed Wilders right now, NBA legend, when you played against Gil, how Gil was, he was gonna say, Gil was fucking truth. Gil was the fucking truth nigga. He was the Chapel Hill though. He was the Chapel Hill. Gil was the fucking truth nigga. Oh, Rasheed with the Chapel Hill. Yeah, Rasheed also got a 700 on the SAT. He was the one with the Chapel Hill. Fuck you talk about. He had every college in the country. He wouldn't have been able to play this first year. Fuck you talking about stop being a nigga. I'm just saying, you got a lot of people like. Let me ask you a question. When people use trauma as a crutch versus reality. Handle impression when everyone depends on. Oh, let me just say this. Yeah. People is marketing trauma out here now. Going social media just so people can feel, like it's like everybody's chasing attention, no matter which way they get it. So a lot of people, you'd be like, are you really going through something that's really what's the name? Why do you have to share that with millions of people on social media? Why do they have to know like, I think we got like, like we got, we lost. Like I think we really lost. That's why I wrote the book social media made me do it. Cause it's like, you did that for social media. Like you went online and told a bunch of people, your business that don't know you to get critical. And then when somebody have something to say about you, now you're being bullied or you're attacked. Think about that cause you went, grabbed your joint, told everybody this, I'm going through. And now people in there laughing, some people cooking you. Why are you telling us? Like, is you really going through it that much? You was going through it so much that you had enough energy to pick your phone up and talk about it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. But you got to understand. Welcome to another episode of Million Dollars Worth of Game Business Spotlight. Where we give you a bunch of game that you can use cause I knew you out there, you're trying to figure out life. We all been in that place in life where as though we struggling, we trying to figure out who we want to be, where we want to go, what we want to do. Right here on Million Dollars Worth of Game Business Spotlight, we always give you some games, some stuff you're not even thinking about. One thing about this brother right here, man, listen, he's in a whole different universe. He's not playing. He went after that green. You know a lot of us love that green, but he liked that different green. He's not playing. One thing about Chris Gregory, CMG landscape, not this what he gonna do. We gonna get straight to it. He said, wow, this what I'm gonna do. If they go to landscapeclass.com, I'm gonna get him a free building, your green ebook and masterclass breaking down landscaping and government contracts. Ain't nobody never do that. Also check him out on Instagram and Chris connections on Instagram. But Chris, listen, man, I need to know, man, cause you know a lot of people like that green. He liked that green, but you deal with a different green. How did you get in the game? Anything about it? He was behind the wall. How you do it, bro? Well, first originally I was into construction. Walked off a job. I used to work in North Dakota in the oil field. They got on some other type of time with me. So I quit. I'm driving 30 hours from North Dakota. And I asked him myself, why the hell I just did that? Right? So you was bitching? No, no, no, I just quit my job. I didn't know what my next move was. So I'm riding and I say, well, when I get back to Georgia, I'm just gonna buy a lawnmower and just try to keep the yanks off me. Right? So I got a lawnmower. I was in it about three, four weeks. And then I saw some take place. A Fortune Fight company had asked me come do a bid for them. And I didn't think none of it. So I came down to bid. I underbid it myself the very first time. Couldn't find out. It was a government contractor, right? I underbid it. I took the job. Then they started teaching me how to bid. But they came back and asked me, was I properly structured? I said, no. They said, well, if you get properly structured in the next 30 days, we can keep it. That was my first contract, 250,000 right there. So they said, if you structure when we come back, you can keep the job. Shit, they gave me 30 days. I was properly structured and about 17 days later, kept the job. That was my first contract. And so how did you build it though? How did you build CMG landscape? How you build it? Well, I just, consistency, right? I didn't know what I was doing. Very first year, I did $1.8 million 15 months after I bought the lawnmower, after I'm telling you. I just kept showing up. I didn't worry about it being perfect. Didn't know what the hell I was doing. I just kept coming. I kept coming. The money kept coming. And I kept going. And you was doing long as it did. So you invested a lot in equipment? Well, I started out in residential. And then I went over to commercial with the government. I started out in residential. Bought me a push lawnmower and a zero turn. And then I cut grass for about six months, hired me a amigo, a Mexican. When I hired that Mexican, it changed my life. Why it changed your life? Because I went from doing like 10 yards a day to residential, doing 10 yards a day to doing like 30 yards a day. You know what I mean? You was doing 10 a day, you had amigo doing 20. No, we was doing them together. We was doing them together. You was doing 10 a day. Yeah. And then you went up to 30. Yeah, when? I mean, you had amigo doing 20. Yeah, most of it. You already know. I can count, nigga. Yeah, but check it out. So look, but he had four brothers. Did you know how they be packed in? He had four brothers. So when I hired his brothers, I backed up. Because I was already in government contracting back then. Once I backed up, I started focusing on bidding. I started learning what an RFP was, the solicitation, what procurement pointers I supposed to be on, what next codes I need to have attached to my existing LLC in order to work with the local state and federal government. Once I'd done that, it was on. It was over. So you went in a year. You went to 1.5. You did your first year. 1.8. 1.8. And then how did the scale for me? How did they keep growing? Well, it kept growing because, see, what a lot of people don't realize, all you need is one contract. So the second contract that I was on, it was 5.7 million, me and three other self contractors. Now, I thought I wanted to be the prime until I understood that as a prime, all the responsibility, whether I did good, bad, or indifferent, would be on me. So I laid back and just did the self-contracting. It was 5.7. And then the other contractor, they bailed out. They couldn't keep up with the work. So then I wind up getting my portion and their portion. And that's what happened. So you took us cutting all the grass and the sticks? In the whole state of Georgia. At my all-time high, I had 38 employees. My first 18 months, I had 38 employees running around the city of Atlanta. I'm doing currently. I'm doing Hustfield, Jackson, one of the biggest. I was Migos. She about 30. I knew it. I mean, you can't get us to work. I fucking came and cut them. He doubled his fields. I fucking said, I'm fucking something. He's doing Migos. Yeah, we gonna get on some bullshit. I ain't talking about the office. I ain't talking about my man off, said. Yeah. So you saying that you got the airport in Atlanta? Right now, I'm doing currently. On the way here, I was looking at the work. Currently, we got Hustfield, Jackson. I got Marta, which is that? How many acres is Hustfield? How many acres is your all cut? Well, I'm only responsible for nine zones. So at nine zones, it's like 68.2 acres. Nothing but cutting, no edging, no weed, nothing. I don't even go out there. I send my crews out there, right? But right, Migos, yeah. I need the work done and I need to do them fast. And I need to do them right. Migos. So yeah, so right now I'm doing Marta, Hustfield, Jackson, Ponce, Delion, Parks and Recreation. The right-of-way for the city of Atlanta, right-of-way is Fulton County and the water she is. How did you do? Do you ever think you'll be able to get these type of contractors? No. Where you coming from? No. Tell us about your upbringing. My upbringing, I've been on my own since I was 12. I sold everything that you can think of that was for sale. So that's kind of how I did so good at landscaping, right? It reminded me of another field that I was once in before. I'm a three-tanker victim felon. I was actually unalived for two and a half minutes, cut my main artery. I used to be a fool, right? And I moved to Georgia November 30th, both of my cousins was killed. And my best friend, Wade, my best friend was killed by the police in St. Louis, Missouri. I wind up getting shot, got stuck up under, Cadillac Escalade. Got stuck up under Cadillac Escalade. And I asked my high power if he could let me from under the truck, I would do everything different. I got a one-way interrogation came, kicked in my house, had me in interrogation for seven hours. I left out interrogation, caught a one-way bus ticket to Atlanta, Georgia. I had no work experience. I had never had a job. I hadn't done nothing but manipulate and other shit. So I had, it was a whole transition for me. I had a whole life trend. I had to find out who I was, what I was, what was the pros and cons of me, why in the hell I did what I did. You know, I had issues, abandonment issues, all this old bullshit that I used to hold near and dear to my heart to be a fool, right? But I realized that nothing would change if I didn't change it. So I just started to make the changes that I needed to make. And it started working. What's up, brother? Playing so. You know what I mean? Y'all got something to comment on, man. Yes, we do. So in this class, right? No, man. Hold on, man. My man shot him up under the car. He looked at the dead, I punched you up under the car. That's no different, yeah, that was different. Yeah, a whole lot different. That was a whole lot different. He was up under the car, that engine was hot. The niggas said, God, you keep it out of here. I'm going to Georgia. Yeah, that's it. I'm about to loathe where you're going to Georgia. You gotta talk about it. Now, in this class, right? Yeah. You said, you know, building your green e-book. What is that about the e-book? Well, the e-book, just the basic fundamentals of what it takes to start a landscape company, right? When you come to the class, I'm going to show you how to read R&P's, what solicitation portals you should be on, what procurement portals, what NAICS codes, which is the North American Industry Classification System. Because every, like, whether you're doing landscaping or construction, if you don't attach the right NAICS code to it, then they'll just deny the contract. You done. You just done, right? Yeah, you done. The masterclass breaking down landscaping and government contracts. Yes, sir. So, like, how do you get a government contract? How do you even get it? Well, you just got to be properly structured. And when you're on the procurement port, you got to know what they're sending you. You got to know the verbiage, what they ask you. They pretty much ask you the same thing a hundred different times. But if you get to them wrong, you won't get the contract. You got to know how to be it. You got to know what is going to cost you to do the job, right, in order to make your profit. Because if you don't know what it costs you, then you're going to get your ass handed to you if you win, right? So you got to know what is costing you to do the job, how many people it take to do it. So I even got a crew on Vero Beach Florida right now. And I don't even have to go to Florida. But I just knew my cost, right? I knew exactly what it would cost me. And I knew how to find the company to complete the task for me. How much is the equipment cost? Well, so there's two ways. I have an in-house crew. Right now I got 20-some-eye employees. So if you want to do it yourself, if you are already a existing landscape company, you would do it different. But I can teach you how to do it right now without no equipment, right? Because all you need to do is be awarded the contract. And then I will show you how to find the company to do it based off what the company structure that you hired looked like. Oh, so I don't even need to touch that. You don't got to touch nothing. The only reason I did it this way, I was already a landscape company, right? So it took me 15 months to figure out. I didn't even need a damn line more to win a five-figure contract. You need none of that. I didn't need none of that shit. I just needed to know what procurement portal I supposed to have been on. How do I read this solicitation? What is the RFP? What is the RFQ? I needed to know that, which I didn't know it until I did it. You get what I'm saying? So I'm trying to help guys bypass all that. I'm watching older guys tell them they've been in the gang 20 years and they still sitting on the line more. That makes no sense to me. I got off a line more. It took me one season to know that I'm going to get old and I don't need to be the one out doing this shit. You get what I'm saying? So that's what I'm teaching them, how to get off the line more, get them five- to seven-figure government contract, and just go. Are you handing from the horse's mouth, man? Chris Gregory, man. CMG landscape. What he going to do is... What he going to do is... A lot of niggas I knew with two first names, they be doing great shit. I got three though. Christopher Michael Gregory. I got three.

He just gave you a zillion dollars worth of game. You don't need no land mark. No land, no land, no U. No land roval. You don't need no lawn mower to win a five or seven figure government contract. See, no lawn man is just like that. Me and I with the River Games. Business spotlighting is just like that. It don't even be them. It be the dumb ass comments. Oh, but you don't never know what nobody going through. You know, you just a nosy bitch. What you mean? Because, okay, you, hey guys, it's big cat when you're on a long road trip traveling between cities, anything can happen. Flat tires, endless traffic, stopping to see a 50 foot wooden alligator, but I suspect everything actually happens for a Reese's. Like is grit week really a time to visit different training camps or is it just an excuse to check out different places to get a Reese's? And when we stop to fuel up, or are we really stopping to refuel on a Reese's? After countless miles thinking about chocolate and peanut butter, it all starts to make sense that everything happens for a Reese's. You will see a motherfucker grab their phone, get on their phone, express whatever they going through. And then a motherfucker be like in the comments, you, you, that's your business, such and such. That's your business, you know, don't put that on here. And then motherfuckers be in the comments. No, let them vent. You never know what a mother, you not venting when you talking to people that don't know you. That don't make no fucking sense. But see, you just a bitch in the comments that wanted to be in a bitch's business. Damn. You wanted to have something to talk about at work today. Now you seen when such and such was on there and they going through, yeah, cause you know that. Like, let me say this, if you somebody, I know you and my family, what the fuck would you be going to social media for? Anything. You got a brother, cousin, aunt, father, sister, mother, nephews, nieces, you got a whole motherfucking whole system of motherfuckers that you can express how you feeling that care about you. That's going to tell you what's best for you. That's not going to judge you. What the fuck would somebody ever go to social media? These people don't know you. These people don't give a fuck about you. These people ain't got your best interest at heart. So you market in trauma. You low key, you want sympathy. You want to read some comments where motherfuckers like, damn, that's fucked up. I feel sorry for you. No, they don't, they don't know you. They don't really feel sorry for you. They don't give a fuck. It has no bearing on a fucking life. They don't give a fuck. So what are you wasting time for? You could have called your motherfucking mom going through. You could have called your sister. You could have called your brother, you old man. I'm having it. You want to call motherfuckers and that's going to grind you to fuck up, have a bunch of jokes about some trauma shit you going through and then you mad at the niggas that's grinding you up in the jokes when you the one that put it the fuck out there for niggas that don't know you. Come on, man. Make some shit make sense to me, man. I'm going through it. I'm not going to social media. I'm gonna talk to my fucking wife, man. I'm gonna talk to my fucking pop, man. I'm gonna talk to my mom, man. I'm gonna talk to one of my homies, man. I'm gonna talk to my cousin, man. So yeah, I'm not talking to a 4.1 million motherfuckers that I don't know. And I'm pretty sure I got some real supporters in there. But what the fuck would I want y'all in my business for? If y'all not a part of my business? Yeah, that's why I never like, that's why I knew like, in his real with Gil saying because like when he was going through the coming up short situation and he had a good surgery, like he ain't put that out there. He ain't tell y'all that he couldn't please his wife and he had to go to the doctor and get beefed up. He ain't tell you that. Well, you keep putting that bad name on my piece. Don't do that, man. Don't throw that bad energy. Keep throwing that bad energy on my piece. I'm saying you right. You ain't put that, you ain't put that out there. You ain't put, you kept that out.
