B Lee: Yo, what's up? It's B Lee here and I'm back at it again with another podcast super late like always, but late is better than never. I'm trying to get better on doing my thing every Tuesday. Still looking for some people to interview. However, you know, hey, it is what it is. So my last podcast, I talked about the power of doing research, right? Just looking things up. If you don't know, look it up. Like I was a nineties kid and all I did was go ahead and I grew up in the computer age, right? Where we had AOL. ⁓ XJEEVS, all this good stuff, typing and stuff like that. We took typing classes and stuff. That was one of the electives we could have in middle school. So I grew up in that nice age and I kind of miss it, dawn back on me. anyway, I'm out of how dumb we are as people, right? So I ⁓ just got my motorcycle out of the shop and the mechanic said, you know, I can come get it today. I was like, all right, cool. So I swing by, come get it. said, ⁓ it's not completely done yet, but you know, I got this, that, that. I said, well, you said I can come get it today. And he was like, ⁓ well, you know, it's not done yet. So I'm like, what the heck? You know? So I ended up getting it that day, right? Paid for it, got the cash, made a cash deal and went out and come to find out I made it home and it wasn't turned back over. Now he did advise me of that, but he had my bite for whole week, right? And he thought I was dumb. Cause like, He was saying, you know, I did all this stuff. I did this to your lights. I did that. I did this. And I'm like, dude, listen, you can't bullshit a bullshitter. All right. I work on my bike in my free time. I used to work on my Tesla a lot. ⁓ And it came to a point where I feel like the biggest scams are mechanics and insurance. Cause it's like, and also car sales, man. And so, I'm just like, man, this is dumb. I took my vehicle to go get service before and I'm on my motorcycle with like an actual car, to Tesla numerous times and they don't even know what they're talking about. They're like, oh well, there's no computer on, you know, there's no sensor on, so I don't know what's wrong with that. I bro, but you can hear it sound, there's obviously something wrong. It doesn't sound like that. They oh no, there's nothing wrong. You know, there's no sensors or anything, so no lights on, so no warning lights, so you're good. Great, that's awesome. It's like, I don't think like us as humans, I don't think that we're like all there anymore. Now don't know if it's because the media, it's our phones, or maybe it's just we're just so used to, ⁓ I don't know, just having help or a computer doing everything for us, which is nice, but I like to use it as a tool, right? So that's just how I'm rolling. And ⁓ maybe just get into this is because I was at the stoplight, I drive around a lot, I drive the work. It's about an hour and half to get to work, right? I'm back in the office now and I'm sitting at stop lights. I'm like, everyone's in the left lane. There's three lanes, one lane to go left, turn only left only. All right. Two lanes to go straight. Everyone's all in the straight lane on the left, right? And there's only one or two cars that are in this, they go straight on the, in the other second lane, right? Two lanes going straight. The one on the left is packed and the other one only has three cars in it. And I'm like, what the, what's going on? Like, does no one see that there's an extra lane open? or the other side, we're all going the same way. Why are we all piled up in this left side lane? And then the light turns green. And I'm like. We're all sitting there, and it's not just like one car beeps, the second car beeps. Or. The first car is just sitting there and no one's sitting there. I've sat at a light. I tested this man. I sat at a light all the way through because. It was green and no one went at all, like no one went. through the green light. And I'm like, what the heck? Are we looking at our phones? Are we dazed and confused? Is this idiocracy coming into play now? What is going on? just imagine, sorry, so we're gonna stop, just test it out. But it's not even the first or second car cool or the third car. It'd be like four or five cars, and I'm like four or five cars back, and I'm like, beep, beep, beep, beep, And then people are still sitting there. I'm like, dude. There's like four other cars in front of me. Am I the only person that sees that this light is green? Now let me say, that's one thing I do like about my Tesla, is it does ding when it is green, because I'm not gonna lie, sometimes I look it down on my phone and then it goes, boom, and I'm like, all right, beep, time to go. So that's a good thing. And also ⁓ lane disbarter and also avoiding car wrecks. So that was a good thing too, and that happened a couple of times before, but. All I'm saying is I think we gotta wake up as people, bro. Like, it's to the point where I run into so many things, especially me, I used to be in business. I talk about in my book where people would, ⁓ I'd hire people that were smarter than me, right? I thought they were smarter than me. They had degrees. Some of them was masters. One person had worked on a doctorate, a bachelor's degree. And I hired them because they were smarter. I thought they were smarter than me, but. When it came to something as small as, hey, you know, can you get this vacuum? This vacuum's not working. I'm like, all right, cool. It's like 10.30 at night, 9.30 at night. One of my employees called me, hey, the vacuum's not working. I'm in bed, I'm a single dad. I'm in bed, I got my kids with me. And come to find out, I go down to the building and what happens, all it was is the canister was loose. It was like a safety mechanism and the canister was loose. And I'm like, yo, what the heck? I'm like, dude, you know how hard it is to wake up out of bed, gotta get my kids ready. I can't leave my home by themselves 10 30 at night. Got to go down to the building just because the canister is not there or it's not connected. It's like little things like that. I'm just like, you know what? That's why I shut down my business. And the thing is, even though I shut my business down, I'm working for somebody else and I'm still finding inconsistencies, I'm still finding issues, and I'm still finding problems, right? And that's what I do not like, man. I'm finding so many problems. I'm like, where does it stop? It's like, am I the only one that is like using their brain anymore? And I know I'm not the only one using my brain. Of course I'm not because I network and I talk to a lot of different people. And there's a lot of other people who are using their brain too. People I run into on the streets. And I want to streets, I'm like, hood terms, not streets, but on the sidewalk, right? Just wandering around, I do a travel, I like talking to people and just have some good genuine conversations, right? But sometimes you have those conversations, you're like, I'm thinking, huh, what are we talking, like, what, are you following me? Like, get that, honey, like, what are we talking about? And that's how I found out. that, you know, I'm actually pretty old. I live in central Pennsylvania and I went to the bar I used to go to when I was 22 years old in my early 20s. I am now in my early 30s and I'm like, Did I talk like this at 22? Like it comes to a point where you kinda, I don't wanna say separated by age, your age group, but you're separated by, I would say the maturity level. ⁓ Because I mean, some of those bars I used to go to are just like, I mean, they're filled with everyone 21 and above, which is cool. You 21 to like 25, cool, got it. I they're playing beer pong, but I mean, I'm a killer at beer pong, but. I'm like, dude, I don't, like, what are you talking about? Like, what are we talking about right now? Like, and that's the thing that's kind of like different. And it's, like I said, it's a maturity level, you know, maybe because you travel around, you do different things and stuff like that. But, you know, it's really cool. Not just some people that do like those conversations and some people that don't, you know, some people are just like, you know what, I don't want to do this. It feels weird, it's different. I don't like it, but. For those who do, I enjoy and I'm sure they do it as well. So, comes to one point too, right? I ask myself, I seen these article the other day where Trump released ⁓ all these UFO footage and videos and stuff saying, know, the UFOs are here, they're flying around the extraterrestrials, cool. I've always believed they were extraterrestrials, not saying flying around, but like another Earth. Like if someone thinks, if you think that we are the only species among this Earth, I don't say earth, but among this galaxy, ⁓ think that would be, I think that would be like really small mind. That's like almost like a small, like a flat earth person. Now, even though I've never been in space, but there's a lot of videos, a lot of satellite images. But then again, I don't know, we had some satellite images about, you know, the moon, the moon landing. ⁓ So who knows? I mean, I've never been in space personally, but I think I mean, I think it's pretty round. No, no offense on the flat earth, as your guys are cool, too. But that's a good thing about being human and being out here. And this world is that we all have an opinion. And ⁓ this is just my opinion and just on my perspective. Maybe where you live or you stay at, there's people that are more intelligent. Or maybe it's just the people that I'm hanging around or the people I'm running into. Because I did listen to a few books, like like manifesting things. So when I manifest all this stuff, I try to manifest it. Some people try to get in your way to stop you from manifesting that stuff. And sometimes it just seems intentional. I talked about it in the last Think Two podcast about the dating scene and how like, Literally people just go out of their way to push your buttons and I don't get it. I've dealt with it before. I'm a single parent. My kid's mother, we've never been married or anything. Kid's mother, we've been together ever since we were younger, but sometimes you outgrow people. She's one of the first people that I outgrew in my life. I swear, I think she... just gets off on pushing my buttons. Cause maybe she knows me and it's just like, they just get enjoyment out of it. And I say they like, cause I have numerous people that do that. They just enjoy pushing buttons and I don't understand why I don't, I mean, I wish I can have the fly on the wall or a fly on my shirt. I wouldn't say a fly cause that's pretty dirty. Let's do a bee. I wish I could have a bee on my shirt, right? ⁓ So. You can see everything that I'm seeing because I mean, I even see like she's so super smart and it just stands there and just looks. I'm just like, for a reaction, I'm like, dude, what game are we playing here, dude? Did you read like, like what are we doing? Like, are you, I don't know. I don't know. ⁓ There's a lot of books out there that talk about that type of stuff, but I'm pretty, she's not a reader. So I don't know why, you know, we're even, I don't know why she's doing it. I don't know. There's a lot of people that do that in my life too. It's like they do it intentional and then they sit and look because I read people very well and I can see their other face and they're just like, all right, let me see if I got this reaction. All right, dude, this is nuts. What are we doing right now? I'm 30. I'm 33 years old. All right. So I'm 32. I don't know. think I'm 32. ⁓ I'm 32 years old. What are we? What are we doing? Like, what are we doing? Are we in kindergarten again or what? So this is one of those things, you know, he's pushing your buttons. But what I was getting into is that I was talking to my grandma the other day and I happened to walk away and she was like, I like him and I'm like, yeah, what? In the back, I didn't say anything and it was just only her and I. Her house, she's living in this extended stay hotel. Her house is getting redone because a pipe burst or whatever. And we were walking down the hallway. I just got done working out with her in a workout, gym like working out. And I did a workout session with her to help her out. And she said, she said this, she said, she said to me, we're just done, we're just walking. She's like, I like him. And I'm like, what the? Like I didn't say anything because this is her and I the hallway. There's no one else in there. What the fuck? What does that mean? I just imagine like the person you knew your entire life you're growing up with and all of a sudden they say I like him. Like, what would you do? To me, I was like, what the hell? So to me, I'm like, Danny, what am I, like, am I, like, am I not your grandson? Did you not know me like all your life? Like I hung out with you all the time. And then ⁓ the funny thing is a couple of weeks later, I'm at my kid's mom's house, you know, hanging out with the kids over there, you know, while she's going to work and stuff. And I ended up talking to her. And as I walked away the other day, she said, I like him. Same thing. I like him. really like him. Like, yo, what the heck? Do I look like Chris Rock off the movie Down to Earth? Or like am I Stitch? Like, if I'm Stitch, where's Lilo or Angel? Because I'm trying to find my other pair right now. What's going on? So I heard that twice and I know like, for sure. And I'm just like, dude, what? What does that even mean? Like I'm Branden, Branden-Lee. know, I've been here all my life. I'm in the yearbook. What does that mean? And that's why I was like, yo, the extraterrestrial part. I like you dude. Dude, what is going on? Like, do I not look like who I look like? It's not the first time I heard that. I said, I like you. But that's normally by random people who don't know you at all, right? Like it's just like, I like you. You're cool. I like you. So that just makes it seem like, damn. Did they get like the COVID shot? I mean, I got my COVID shot, but what I got my Moderna like which one did they get because they don't even I don't think they remember me. What's going on? Are they that dumb that they don't remember me? Like what's going on here? They like me. like me. So that was just one of those things, man. I'm just like, I don't know. It's a lot of things I see that it's just like really finds me like blow my mind how like us as humans are like dumb. And I don't know if it's just because we're not thinking or if maybe we're on autopilot because we're just so used to everything being done for us. But another instance was I drive truck in my free time, semi truck, 18 wheelers. And I don't like doing it, but I do it because it's a way to make decent clean money fast. And I do everything clean by the way, that's why I was the owner of B Clean, because I'm all clean. But anyway, I went to a warehouse and I wanted to go pick up a load. And they're like, okay, go to, it's gonna be a live load, all right? So my dispatch sent me there. And I said, it's gonna be a live load. Go over and go pick it up. so you can park yourself and go to the other warehouse. They'll tell you where to go. We've at warehouse number nine. I'm like, all right, cool. So I my dispatch bone, they're like, why are they saying it's live load? It's not supposed to be a live load. And they told me to go to, and they were like, they sent me a different trailer. So I go to the first building that the warehouse told me to go to, building nine, right? Go pick up my trailer. they're like, they said it's a live load? I who told you it was a live load? I said, the lady at the front desk. She told me it was a live load and she wanted me to load it. She told me to, you know, you guys want to tell me what door to put in it. So I don't know why she told you that. Let me make a call. So she made a call. And she was like, ⁓ I didn't tell him that. I didn't tell him that. It's not supposed to be a live load. It's supposed to be, he can pick the trailer up. It's already done. I was like, and I told him, I said, then I said, dude, I don't even know what's going on anymore. That was pretty dumb. It's like, ⁓ yeah, I don't know why it would happen. I was like, dude, that doesn't make sense. So why would she tell me to come get live loaded and come talk to you if it was already parked in the back? I didn't have to go pick it up. was like, dude, at this point, I was like, dude, I don't even know anymore. And then he was like, and the guy helped me out in the warehouse. said, look, man, said, just I'm gonna give you this trailer. Just go pick it up and you take it home and you'll be fine. He was like, then put your empty trailer. Cause I had an empty trailer with me. Cause I had to take one up there. So I took the amputee killer with me. And he told me to put it in door 23. He said, just put it in door 23, you'll be all right. I said, okay. I go outside to go put my trailer in the door 23. And he agreed that people are pretty slow right now. I don't like saying slow, that we're pretty dumb, we're stupid, right? And come to find out door 23 already had a trailer in it. So I couldn't put the trailer that I had in there. And this is the guy that was talking to me and telling me that he agrees with me that people are pretty dumb. but he told me where to put the wrong trailer at. So you know what I did? Took matters into my own hands and I parked that trailer wherever I felt like needed to and I picked my other one and I high tailed up out of there. And that's just another, you know, another dumb moment that I had, you know, here in my lifetime. So I don't know, all I'm saying is that I wish we just all used our brains a little more. I think it'd make life a little bit more easier. And if you like to, please watch the movie Idiocracy. And it's a really good movie. And ⁓ stay off your phones. Let's have some human interaction. That's what's pretty nice. And talk to one another. All ⁓ right, so I also forgot to add in here that talking about how dumb we are as humans, right? Us being human. So, ⁓ I had my Tesla, and I talked about it before. ⁓ got vandalized twice and that's because the media, right? Everyone thinks and they believe that, you know, what Elon is doing, you know, has to do with us and Trump is doing has to do with us. Those are those the tax breaks and the tax cuts are for people who are way higher than us, right? We don't even see any of that. So why it matters, I don't even know. And me personally, I don't even care what goes on in the politics. But it just made me upset because People are so dumb and naive, ignorant, whatever you want to say. They vandalize my car twice, right? In no years time too, just because I have a Tesla. Now people say I live in the wrong area or whatever it is. I don't know. ⁓ but got vandalized and I don't piss anybody off. ⁓ my podcast just got started. I'm a very nice guy. I don't have any enemies or anything like that. So, ⁓ I was just like, man, this is messed up. So then I talked about movies. So that's what I'm about with Tesla, right? So moving on, I was leaving the store one day and someone was like, man, you didn't see how the world comes to an end or some movie like that, where all the Teslas blocked those road out of New York City. They blocked the bridges they took off, drove by themselves and blocked all these bridges. And I'm like, all right, dude, it's entertainment. It's a movie, right? I talked to this one guy before he was telling me how he's a conspiracy dude and he was saying how every movie or something that comes out 30 year 20 I think it was like 20 year mark or 30 year mark. It it it happens right? And you're saying that there's like some alien force or whatever that has to tell us what they're doing because that's like the code or whatever or something like that. I don't know. They had to tell us what they're doing through entertainment. And I was like, all right, so first of all, if we look way back at movies, right? Look at the Twilight Zone. I told him this, that's how I debunked it. I told him this, they had flying cars in the Twilight Zone. Then we had War of the Worlds, all right? I think that movie was over 20 years old. And then we had also, what's my favorite movie? The Fifth Element. In that movie they had flying cars, they had billboards, had all that stuff, all right? That was 20 year mark, bro. So where's the flying cars? I don't see stuff zooming around, billboards going all over the place, right? So even jet shoes and all that stuff, come on, bro. Like, all right, we might have it now, but they're like hydro, like water stuff. All right, come on, man. That was, and then on top of that was another movie, someone was telling me about. That's one of the ones I could just think of, the Elon thing, or the Tesla thing, because I was like, why would they even use that car in that movie? I was that's messed up. But so it's just entertainment. It goes down to music too. Like, and the way I like to put this too is like, I mean, we listen, like for instance, I listen to all genres of music. So I was talking with Slayer, right? I listen to Slayer. One of the songs is, forget, can't come off the top of my head. Let me look, hold on, let me look at my playlist here. I mean, there's a lot of stuff on here. We got Dragon Force, Dragon's Tale, Fire. through the flames and fire flames, through the fire and flames by Dragon Force, right? Dragon Force. They talk about somebody flying through flames all around in heaven. Like, is that really real? Is that something that really happened? I mean, it's it's entertainment, right? Everyone's an outlaw by Brian Martin. Everyone's an outlaw, so it's time to do outlaw shit. Like, is that a real thing? Does that mean you're an outlaw? I even got Thunderstruck by ACDC, right? All right. Does that mean that thunder is really going to come down and you got thunder everywhere? I mean, you got to think about this. I've got center by drowning pool. I'm just going through my workout playlist. Cause I'm on here. When I work out, some come with some good ideas. So I stopped get my workout in. I mean, we got gorillas. It feels good. Clean Eastwood. I don't feel insane. I got sunshine in a bag. Does that really mean you got sunshine in your bag? How would it be if you got sunshine in your bag? Right? I mean, It's just a bunch of stuff. got Fuel by Eminem, right? It's a Smokey Cheese Ride Around. Do we know if Eminem smokes? We know about that. And I don't own the copyrights to any of this music. It's just entertainment, right? TV's entertainment, music's entertainment. And when I got older, I started to realize that I feel bad for the younger kids because they listen to all this gangster hardcore rap, right? But they don't know that that's entertainment. Even Rick Ross, right? Boom. He raps so well, younger, all this cocaine, blah, blah, blah. But we know he never did it, right? We know that for sure now, right? It's entertainment. It's a story being told, a fictional tale. So. So I talk about us being dumb as humans. believe social media, the things that we see, stopping at stoplights, movies depicting us from buying cars or getting different things. Come on, man. Let's get it. And that's it. That's the end of the podcast. I'm on the treadmill. About to get my workout. And I hope you are getting your workout in and enjoying your life. Know whatever you're doing. Let's go get it. It's B-L-E.
