I booked a one-way ticket to Tyler. I've done a lot of things in my life that many people don't get to do because they chose to do the right thing. You know what I mean? They chose to have a job and a family and go to work every day. I didn't do any of those things. I've just been being a maniac my whole life. So now, like, I'm going to be turning 40 in February and it's halftime. Why are you leaving?

How did you come to the decision that you don't want to be in the U.S. anymore? Just look at everything that's happened since 2020, you know, the state of the country in 2020, when everything happened, you know, the C word, you know, since then, the cost of living has gone up maybe 200%. Don't quote me on that exactly, because I'm not an economist, you know, but it's just... Even if they say it's gone up 10 or 20%, it's really actually significant. We were spending... Jess and I were spent $200 a week.

for groceries now we're spending 350 yeah i seen the tick talk where the kid pulled up his amazon no it was uh his is his is walmart a grocery order from like 2019 or something like that and things had gone up like two 300 percent yeah it was outrageous and it wasn't and sometimes if they hadn't gone up they actually did go up because they actually would still sell that but they'd sell less of it but charge you a little more yeah that's called shrinkflation they would just you know instead of being 24 ounces they would shrink it down to like 15 or 20 ounces, and then they would jack the price up on top of that. So not only are they raising their prices, but they're giving you less of their products. Yeah, you're raising my price

as well. I don't get a dozen hawk dollars now. Yeah. Yeah, you know, and I don't see that trend changing anytime soon. You know, I mean, you know, the current political arrangement I happen to agree with, you know, let's just put that, put that where it is. But I don't see things, you know, getting cheaper anytime soon. I don't see the cost of living going down just because we have, you know, the president who, you know, just because Trump's in office or whatever, but I think that what I think's funny is that he immediately things have already changed or starting, people are implementing changes automatically. Yeah. But in the end, I think the economy is what it is and it's, it's in real trouble. And he's better for the economy, but it's going over, you know what I'm

saying? It's like a building that's coming down. Like you can do a, controlled demolition or you can let it topple over and do more damage but it's coming down no matter what yeah so you know he's i think he's the better choice for bringing the building down yeah i agree but it's coming down like that's what i've been saying like it doesn't and and i think i even told you this i was like to be honest for the republicans it might have even been better if he didn't win because it guaranteed a win in four years if he didn't win because the economy whoever is in there has to face the fact that we're slipping into a recession. It doesn't matter who's in there.

So there's nothing you can do. You can offset it a little bit, but it's a problem. All of those things are already baked into the economy. You can't just throw the brakes on everything and just hit the reverse button, you know, and back it up just like, you know. So there's no, there's no solution. Yeah. It's just, you know, things are just getting more and more expensive here.

And I'm not, I don't really, I don't really like to work hard. That's another. I've a big part of it. You're like, I'm just not. Like, I'm just, I'm not kind of a lazy guy. I don't like to work hard. I kind of just like to do the bare minimum and kind of get by and, you know, kind of live comfortable. You know, I don't have these big dreams of financial success and Lamborghinis and mansions

because you have to work too hard for all that stuff. So I don't really care about it, you know, plus I'm getting older now and it's just like, I don't know. Well, I know when you were, when you were, you were working like 60, 70 hours a week at the tattoo place. Like you said, yeah, but I'm not really doing. I'm really just there waiting for people to come in. Well, that's not, to me, that's not a real job. Tattooing for me has never been a real, that's why I liked it. That's why I liked it so much and I put in so many hours at the shop, you know,

because I could sit there for most of the day and just play on the internet and watch TV and do whatever I want to do. And occasionally get to do a tattoo, you know, and tattooing is something I enjoy doing. So, you know, I never really felt like that was a job. But, you know, I worked for many, many years in warehouses, 50, 60, 70 hours a week, moving boxes around, driving a forklift, unloading trucks. You know, I worked from the age of probably 17 until I was into my mid-20s at a window company, just doing windows outside here in Florida, working outside, like, on construction sites and whatnot.

So I've worked hard my whole life, you know, and I'm not a corporate guy, you know, because if I was, I probably could stomach an office job and just sit there for 20 or 30 years and collect my pension, my 401K. and, you know, I think I could see my, but I'm just not a corporate guy. Not only because of my aesthetic, not only because of my, I mean, obviously prior to this. Well, I just don't have the demeanor for it. You know, I don't have, I don't feel like I have what it takes to be part of the team. Right.

You know what I mean? I'm just not that guy. Just because the way I've grown up, being homeless most of my life, growing up on the streets, and then being in youth facilities from the age of probably 13 until I was 19 years old, you know, pretty consistently every year, nine, ten months out of every year, you know, I just feel like that kind of molded me a certain way. And now I'm 40 years old, we're going to be 40 years old. And I'm just setting my ways, you know. And so I feel like Southeast Asia is kind of more geared towards my demeanor and like, you know, kind of the things that I want out of life

and the goals that I have for myself. Well, how did you, what I'm wondering is how did you get there? You don't just roll over one day and say, here's where I'm going. I mean, what did you see, a TikTok, and then it sent you down a rabbit hole? Oh, yeah, no, it was a YouTube video. It was, I don't, I want to, I can't remember the first one I've seen. I think it was just some dude walking around because there's these videos. I don't know if you've ever seen them on YouTube, but there's these videos that are, they just walk around with the camera.

What's the one guy? There's no dialogue. They don't talk. They don't say anything. They just walk with the camera. And I think those are the first videos I started watching of like Bangkok and Thailand. And I'm just like, holy smokes. So it was immediately Thailand?

Yeah. Because every time I've mentioned on this, every time I mentioned during an interview, like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, Boziac's going to Thailand. Somebody in the comments will be like, oh, you know, oh, he ought to go to. And they always have like alternatives. They say Vietnam. Vietnam's cheaper than Thailand. The cost of living is a little bit lower.

They don't have the infrastructure that Thailand has, the big cities and, you know, the luxury apartments. You know, and then you've got the Philippines. which is a completely different animal. And the cost of living is kind of similar, but Philippines is kind of getting a little bit more expensive now because people have been kind of going to the Philippines for, I don't know, probably since the 80s and 90s,

people have been kind of migrating over there, like U.S. expats. The U.S. the Philippines has a very large U.S. expat community. And so like every country does, but especially the Philippines does especially. So it kind of drove the price up on the cost of living in the Philippines. And so I just feel like Thailand just, it kind of seems like it's right for me, you know, the aesthetic, the culture, the people, the economy, the religion, you know, the way things work over there, the way of life. I just, I kind of feel like that's more geared towards how I want to spend, you know, the second half of my life. You know what we ought to do? Do you want to look at one of those videos where the guy is showing like one of the condos?

We can dig one up. Yeah, sure. You want to find one? Like a short one where he just takes the guy up and he goes, actually, I mean, like he'll go on for like the 20th floor of a brand new building. Yeah. And it's like $480 to live in a one-bedroom, one bath. So, yeah, so apartments over there, $480, $500 will get you a decent place, but $600 to $800 will get you like a nice luxury place. Like living in a place down, like a one-bedroom downtown Tampa.

It's the square footage is what's really killing you because all the apartments are really nice. Like all of the condos are really nice in certain parts of Bangkok. Now, you can go get the older buildings, which are way cheaper, but you don't have the amenities. You're not 35th floor overlooking the whole city. Right. You know, so a lot of those places are, I say 6 to 800, but then again, it depends on the square footage, well, the square meters. And I've had to learn the goddamn metric system since going in. to all this because that's what they use over there so I've had to learn we don't use it over here for

any reason like there's no reason for me to use the metric system here people just learn the metric system you know just to be like I know the metric system or whatever but you know I guess over there all they use is the metric so everything's in kilometers everything's square meters so yeah I had to do all the math in my head and learn all of the equations but so like we I was I said we looked at some of these places that were like one bedroom one bath and they were maybe a building that was two stories high, maybe three stories high, and there are maybe four or five blocks away from the, from like the beaches downtown. But yeah, they're only two or three story highs. And maybe they're built in the 90s or 20 years ago. And they look like a regular

kind of apartment, right? But those you can get for like 400 bucks a month. But you're right. The older buildings. Yeah. And the single, they're about, two or three stories. Right. You can get those for $250, $300 a month. But if you want to be on a 30th floor. If you want a high-rise luxury condo, you're going to have to spend between $600 and $800 every month,

which, I mean, is dog shit here. You can't get a hotel room for that much. You can't go live at the whole motel six for $800 a month here. Remember the one bedroom I used to live in? Yes. Okay. So that one bedroom, a buddy of mine came over named Troy, had come there to buy a pain from me.

And he looked, and he looked at my, he went in the building. It was like, he's like, this apartment's exactly the same size as mine. And I was paying 1,400 a month, 14,500 a month. Yeah. And it was exact same layout as his, but he was in downtown Tampa on like the 15th or 20th floor of one of those places on Channel side. And I think he was paying 3,500, 3,700. He goes, I'm telling you, he goes, I got the same flooring.

Those are the same. he was like this is my my layout exactly but he was on like the whatever 15th 20th floor something like that and it was it was like it was like 2,000 and change to live there so I know for a one bedroom one bath a brand new nice one bedroom one bath downtown Tampa three years ago about three years ago it was a little it was like yeah 3200 yeah double that now yeah it's because things have gone so let's say 4,000 so you're looking at 4,000 compared to 8000 Yeah. For $4,000 a month, you could live like, that's everything. You could live like high society. They call it high so in Thailand. They call it high so. You could live like

high so. You could live high society. Yeah. Oh, and by the way, the YouTube channel is called Project Bangkok. And it's a guy, it's one of the guys. He does a lot of condo tours. He does a lot of Bangkok content, obviously. But this is like one of the first videos I watched of his. And I think this video made me fall in love with this building. So I can't live like that here in the U.S. for Ashton. Yeah, it's called the Ashton, Assoc in Ramayn. Yeah, it's nice. He usually does the area and the grounds and the facilities

before he actually gets to the unit. Look at the pool on like the 40th floor. I mean, just look at the surrounding area. Yeah. It's like being in Manhattan, New York. Like, there's only like word. I was thinking Brickle. Imagine working out there every morning.

This is a luxury apartment. This isn't... Look at that right next to your bed. You wake up and you just got the view of the entire city. Well, that unit, that view was kind of shit, but... 11 million bot, which is like, I don't know, $90,000. So a lot of these units are for sale. You can buy...

Foreigners aren't allowed to buy houses or own land, but we can buy condos. Did this, this come furnished? Oh, yeah. And almost every apartment or condo over there comes furnished already. TV, couches, beds, silverware, dishes, everything. I mean, you get the idea. It's, I mean, like, in this, and this is, like, on the higher end, you know.

Yeah, I don't know how much higher you can get than this. Unless you just get more square footage. Yes. And see, that's the thing is, square footage is basically, so the lower end price you go, you're still going to get the same quality. Right. Your square footage is going to be. a lot smaller.

But you know, how much square footage do you need? Yeah, a lot of those condos in Bangkok's are shoeboxes for $200 or $300 a month. But, I mean, it's like, you're on the 30th floor. I mean, yeah, it's only like 35 square meters, which is like, I don't know, like 400 square feet, 425 square feet or something like that, which isn't a lot of space. But it's like. But if you're using the amenities, if they have an office, they have offices. They have co-working spaces where it's like, and you know, and this is all super high-end shit, you know.

so yeah that's that's that's just like the higher end stuff okay so um so how do you like one well I guess the first question is um how do you figure out how to go there because I'm assuming you just can't like if if you're living in the UK you can't say ah you know what I'm going to go I'm going to live in America like that's not that easy like there's well America is everybody has to get a visa before they come here. You can't just, unless you show up at the southern border, then they just, you know, you can just come right in. But if you come on like an airplane or something like that, then you need a visa.

Thailand is one of the only countries that allow, I think they allow like 15 or 20 different countries to come in visa free. Like you just show up. Right. And if they decided to let you in, they give you like a tourist visa, which is good for 60 days. And then you can get that extended to 90 days once you're in the country. you pay like a little bit extra like a couple thousand bot or whatever and then you get that extended to 90 days but then you have to leave the country and then when you come back in you get

you did you can restart the process it's called a tourist visa yeah which is like the easiest and best option just to show up and to get into the country so the plan is you come in for 60 but you stay you stay a little bit you stay till 90 you leave for a day you fly back in or you can even do border runs where you go to lali there's like a whole system where they there's services where you get on the bus, they drive you to the loud border, you walk through customs, and then you walk in one door, and then you come right back in the other, and get on the bus and go back to Bangkok. And it just starts, and now you're back there for 60-90 days. And then it starts at another 60-90 days again, yeah.

All right, yeah. But that's, you know, that's, you know, if you want to stay in the country long-term, that's kind of inconvenient, you know, because you got to do it every 60-90 days, you got to leave the country, and that's just going to cost money over time. And, you know, the more of a life you build for yourself over there, like, fuck, you know, next week, I got to go and do this thing, you know. But so there's different visa options once you get in the country for people who want to stay long term. Obviously, there's something called a DTV visa.

It's called a Destination Thailand visa. And that's for like digital nomads, people who work online, people who, but you have to prove that you have so much money in your bank account, a Thai bot in a Thai bank account. It's, I think the visa itself costs $5,000, you know, and then there's a bunch of other stipulations. But then you can stay, you can remain in the country up to one year before you have to. to renew the visa again. No, I'm sorry. For five grand. No, no, no, I'm sorry. The DTV visa is five-year visa. Oh, okay. It's a five-year visa, multiple entries so you can leave the country and come back. And that's like the best option, you know, and then there's like a retirement visa for people who are over the age of 50 or, yeah, I think it's over the age of 50. You can get the retirement visa where you're just there

indefinitely. Can you bring your wife if she's younger than 50? Yes. Yeah, you sure can. And you guys can both get the retirement visa and then you know you have to have like a million bot in the bank which is only like $30,000 $30,000 US dollars. So every year when you go in for your renewal you have to show them that you know you are making money and you have money in the bank. So wait so how much is it you have to have in the bank? Like a million bot or something like that. What's how much is that? It's like 30 grand. 30,000 and you came and you could stay there and I could buy a condo for 100 grand and stay indefinitely I got to get rid of Cole because it's going to be all stream yard

I don't need Colby anymore so boy the YouTube would take a hit wouldn't it the channel would if I did all all stream yard that'd be over yeah I can't but what do you need every month 5 5 10 grand you just need that one diddy video yeah one good diddy video one good diddy video a month one diddy stream yard yeah so yeah so that's you know the cost of living It's just, like I said, it's a quarter of what it is here.

And what you get for your money is a lot different than what you get for your money here. Right. You know, a cheeseburger and french fry here is $22,000. Right. That's ridiculous. Like, what are we doing here? When you go to McDonald's and for two people to eat, it's almost $40-something. Right.

Like, what is this? So what is it there if you want to go out and go to a Thai restaurant, not even fast food, just go to a Thai restaurant? So the Western menu is going to have Western prices. Pretty much over there. But if you eat like a local, if you eat just Thai food, go out for just like a plate of Pad Thai, which is like chicken rice with an egg and some noodles and some other shit. It's like $2.50, $3 a meal, $4 a meal. Do you get that meal?

What do you mean? If you're a U.S. They're going to look at you and know, look at you, you're a round-eye. No, no, no, no, they don't give us one. Well, sometimes they do farang. They call foreigners farangs, like F-A-R-A-N-G in Thai. so they do have pharynxed pale face um or is that is a compliment the thais actually like the white skin so they don't go out in the sun they don't sunbathe they don't because like to have like the

whiter the skin in thailand is like the better right yeah they're super racist over there like i'm just going to go ahead and say it like they don't like the blacks or the browns uh too much uh in thailand they like the whites it is what it is go do your own research go go watch a couple of youtube videos it is what it is like i'm not you know i'm not you know i'm I'm not saying, I'm not telling tales outside of school here. Well, what people don't realize, in the United States, what people don't realize is that most countries are, we, you go to that country and live there, and right away, you'd be like, my God, you guys are racist.

Like, if you're fat, they'll tell you you're fat. If you're not attractive, they'll say that. They'll, they'll call you. I mean, they're just blatant. And typically, they're racist. Like, they'll, no, you're not married. Yeah, we have the offended, the woke offended culture here. And it just permeates through.

every aspect of our life over here in America. But you go to Japan and they'll have stores, they'll call fatty, and that's where the fat people, like, it's crazy. Like, you just don't understand, you know. So we really do live in a bubble here in the United States. We really do live in a bubble. So you're going to go and probably initially, what, do the 60 to 90-day route, right? You're going to stay for 60, maybe go 90, pay it a little bit, go 90,

and then do the loop, figure out what's the easiest thing, because you're traveling initially. My plan initially is to come into the country. do the 90 days and I want to see all of Thailand you know so what I've been doing over the past year is I've kind of just been every time I get two or three hundred dollars saved up I'll pay for like a week

in like a resort in some part of Thailand so when I get there I have a week in Bangkok paid for at like a really nice hotel and then I'm flying down to southern Thailand to Pouquet and I got a seven day stay paid for at a resort there and I'm going to check out

Puket and all like the surrounding little islands and stuff for that week while I'm there like crabby and kosamui, kosamette, all those little places that are down in southern at the southern tip of Thailand. Then I'm going to fly from from there. I'm going back to Bangkok for a few days and then I'm going to a little like it's impso. There's a little beachside town called Huahin and it's kind of small. It's very small. It's on the tip. It's on the, I'm on the other part of the world here. I'm trying to get my, my bearing. So it's on the western side of the kind of in between Bangkok and like, it's about two hours south outside of Bangkok. It's called Huahin. So I'm going to go there. I got like four or five days planned in Huahin. So I'm going to

see that whole little section of Thailand. And then I'm going north to Chang Mai. So like Chang Mai, Chang Rai, all those like super northern countries where it's like mountains and jungle, you know, in like rural, like little villages, like rice villages. There's no skyscrapers. There's no, none of that shit. It's the boon. No, no, no, no. It's the boonies. Yeah, it's the boondocks. So I'm going to go up. I'm going to go up there. And then from there, I think I'm coming back to Bangkok and then I'm going to Patia, Thailand. And I'm going to hang out in Patia for four or five days. And then that should bring me just about to my 90 day mark. And then after that, I'm going to figure out, like, which route is the best way to go for like a long-term visa.

What you're saying between Bangkok and Patio? No, no, no, I'm definitely going to live in Bangkok. Oh, why not you were looking at Pattia? So I grew up in Miami. Right. I grew up in Miami. I'm used to Miami Beach. And Patia is a beach town.

It's a tourist town. You know what I mean? I grew up at a tourist town. Right. From Miami Beach, you know, so it's like I don't want to, like, I'm used to living at the beach. And so I know a lot of people that move to Patia and like Pouquet and those places are from like the UK where they get like five days of sunshine all year. Right. Or if they come from the U.S.,

They're, like, they're from the Midwest, places that don't have beaches. I'm from Florida. I grew up on the beach. I'm used to the ocean. You know, I like big cities. That's where I, like, I've never really lived in, like, a giant metropolis. You know, outside of, like, Miami, which is, like, I don't know. Like, I guess the downtown area of Miami's got big buildings and shit, but it's not.

Yeah, it's like Tampa. Like, sure, there are spots you can stand in Tampa and see nothing but big, big buildings. But if you walk two blocks, you're out of that. Like, there's only, there's a very, it's nothing like going to. Manhattan or Chicago or, you know, you go there and you're like, this is insanity. Like even, even, and even those cities don't even compare to Bangkok. Right. Like, like, so if you take Manhattan, downtown Chicago and like downtown Dallas and you put them all together,

that's only like one little section of Bangkok. Like, it's such a massive city. And the whole city's developed like that. It's skyscrapers and they've got like three or four different forms of like public transportation. They have like an above ground, which is called the MRT. and they've got like a subway below ground that's called the um i don't remember what that one called and then they got like the buses and they've got they've got like our version of uh i guess what you would call uber over there which is like grab and they have go so like if you order a go like

some dude will just pull up on a moped and you hop on the back of the moped and wrap your arms around them and take off take off to your destination like it's just wild you know yeah it's a whole different system over there. So you were, when you were looking into all this, you were concerned about, you were like, I don't even know if I can get a passport because you were a felon. First you were felon. You thought that was a concern. But you were able to get you. I've had a passport. And then when I went to prison, the first time I had to give him my passport was even part of my stipulation. Like on day one, when I went to the pretrial services, like when I reported after I got out on bond, they made me bring my passport with me.

All right. And I never got it back. Yeah, yeah. You know, I never got my passport back. I don't know what happened to it. So, and like, so I wasn't even. You didn't even know if you were able to. I didn't know if I could get one.

Like, I heard people say, like, well, I'm a felon. I can't get a passport. It's like, that's not the case. That's BS. No. I've been to federal prison and I got my passport, no problem. And I've also heard people say that you can't get a passport. Like if you owe, if you owe like back taxes of the federal government.

And that's true. That is true. And child support. Child support, back taxes. And like, I owe a federal. I have a federal judgment against me. But if you're paying your judgment or you're paying, like you can have the,

you can be in arrears in taxes. You can be in arrears. But if you're on a payment plan, they'll give you the passport and let you go. It's when you owe $5 million or whatever. Let's see you owe $50,000 and you haven't paid in five years. And you're not like, fuck you, I'm not paying. Then they go, oh, no, no, no, no.

Well, then you can't get a passport. Yeah. But you got a, but you got a pastage here in this country. Right. Right, but you got a passport because you were sweating. You were like, I don't know. Yeah, not only did I get it. It came like, like, I got it a month or two before I even thought I was going to get it.

Yeah, because they tell you, they tell you three months. Don't they tell you like 90 days or something like that? Yeah, they said three or four months. Yeah. And then it came in like, I think like five weeks. It was like five weeks. It was like a month and a half it came. And then the day my passport came, I booked a one-way ticket to Thailand.

Right. So I got my plane ticket that day. How much was the ticket? Because that was. but it was about nine hundred and six or eight months ago it was nine hundred and sixty dollars for a one way and that was eight months ago right yeah about nine months ago ago oh my god round trip if i'm if you're booking a round trip ticket to thailand you're going to come out of about 1500 bucks it's a 26 hour flight and i got to catch three planes i got to go from

here to atlanta and then to south korea and then from south korea to bangkok yeah the longest flight's 16 hours from Atlanta to Korea. I'm on a plane for 16 hours. And then when I get to Korea, I got a two-hour layover and then another six-hour flight to Bangkok. So yeah, it's going to be a track. It's going to be

a track. But I'm fully prepared. You have your neck pillow? I have my neck pillow. I've got my iPad. I've got movies downloaded it. I've never seen before. You know, so let me think. Here's the thing. Here's the thing.

like you're saying this is permanent and the game plan is to get there and start making videos yeah i'm going to work on the youtube channel obviously i'm going to be vlogging daily uh hopefully you know the day in here tour here for myself because you know the thing is i don't want to go over there and experience everything for the first time through the lens of a camera or you know what mean like filming and vlogging you like i want to be able to kind of just put the camera away and aside and not worry about filming and then just kind of enjoy myself and experience the culture so there's going to be days where i'm just not going to film just because i don't want to you know i don't want like i said i don't want to live through the live through a camera lens um but no yeah

it's going to be permanent like i don't plan on coming back i mean unless apartments you know unless the real estate here goes hits the shitter and i can come back here and live for relatively nothing which that's never going to happen i mean things are only going to continue to get more and more and more expensive. It's not going to get down to Bangkok prices. No, it'll never get down to like you said. Yeah. Um, back to the 90s. So, so, um, keep waiting for Colby to chime in. Um, so, all right, so my, so you're thinking, go there. You're thinking start a YouTube channel because right now there's a bunch of YouTube channels that do this thing. So I'm not going to start a YouTube channel. I have a YouTube

channel. I have like 13,000 subscribers on my YouTube channel. I'm like 13,000 subscribers on my YouTube channel. I've had my YouTube channel for five years now. But you don't have anything on Bangkok. Like you're revamping your YouTube channel. Yeah, I guess you could say that. Unless you're going to start interviewing people. I'm not starting from scratch. Well, I understand, but I'm saying.

With zero subscribers, that's bananas. Dude, going over there with just starting a channel from nothing, dude, that's quite the undertaking. But I think since I already have a following kind of on YouTube, kind of if, ish. You know, just because I've been doing content for five years. And I've got like I said 13,000 subscribers currently and yeah, once I start putting out, you know, YouTube or Thailand YouTube content, and I'm sure the demographic that I'm looking for I'll find and the channel will grow. So what is the demographic? What is, I mean, what is what are those YouTube videos going to be? Oh, yeah. So I'm not, you know, I'm not going to be like one of those this is how you live in Southeast Asia kind of channels. I'm just going to wake up every day and in vlog my own. I would do my own life. I would do some videos. I

would do some videos on just like because to me like this is what it costs me to live in Thailand because but that's I've watched so many videos and I've gotten one guy was like I can't live here for under $3,500 a month and I watched another video where one guy was surviving on like $850 a month and living just fine so it all depends on the individual and like how you live how do you eat are you a drinker because if you're a drinker and you like to go out to the bars there that's going to swallow up all your money right right one of those little Thai girls are going to get a hold of you and next thing you know you're going to be at the ATM every 15 minutes so I mean that's how it goes over there what's uh yeah like what are some pitfalls that people have

fallen into like moving to Thailand like yeah oh some there's a lot of negatives uh yeah like so the guys who have no self-control Thailand is the worst possible place for you to go because you will go bankrupt unless you have an unlimited supply of money you're going to go bankrupt pretty fast because you don't realize how cheap everything is so you're just going to be spending and spending and spending. Especially, like I said, when those little Thai girls get a hold of you and you're at the bar every day drinking, that's one of the main things that kind of just ruin people going over there. Is that what the other videos the guys say? Oh, there's so many videos. Like, listen, the whole dating and like women's scene over there is treacherous. Right.

Like, those girls know what they're doing, first of all, because they've been doing it for a while and you will get absolutely rinsed if you're not careful over there. Like, so a lot of these guys that a lot of like so I'm not you know it is what it is like a lot of guys go over there specifically for the women right I mean yeah the cost of living is one thing yet cheap food cheap accommodations you know uh you can travel around but let's be honest a lot of these guys are just going there straight for the women right the passport bros thing is kind of taken off in the past few years and a lot of these guys going over there um haven't really been getting a lot of attention from women their whole lives yeah you know what I mean like they've never

been really in love. They've never been with like a really beautiful girl before. So they go over there and these girls get a hold of one of those guys and it's over for them. It's over. They're calling people borrowing money. They're maxing out all their credit cards. They'll fly back home and take out a second mortgage on a rental property

sell all their their classic cars. They got in the garage and go back over there. They'll build her a house. They'll buy her a car and then she'll tell them the fuck off after like three years. And there's nothing they can do because there's nothing you can do. If, because I know we were watching a video where like the guy was like he he thinks the girl's 100% in love with

him and he buys a business for he can't own the business so he gets so he puts it in her name but it's okay they're in love and then her brings her family in to help work the business and then the business starts doing well he builds a house for her and him yeah and then one day she starts kind of picking fights so there's a youtube channel called tie talk with then he's a guy from the UK and the whole premise of his YouTube channel is that people who have been there

and have gotten rinsed by these girls they'll write out their story and send it to him and he'll just read it on his podcast and I've heard one after another after another I mean this one guy it's happened to him three different times with three different girls

like he'll build him a house marry him build him a house he bought looking this one girl he built their parents a house bought land bought her built her parents a house built Bemma house, put her daughter through put her daughter through school,

paid for her college over there, bought them all vehicles, and then she divorced him. And there was nothing he could do, Thai law. Because in Thailand, foreigners can't own property, can't buy land.

You can't have any kind of say-so in their political system, voting or whatever. You can't own a business. You can't go there and just buy a start of business and all that. And a lot of people gripe

about all of this, but I tend to agree with all of this. Like I think it's 100% exactly what they should be doing because Thailand wouldn't be Thailand if they didn't have all of these measures put in place. Because you would have all the foreigners would go over there. They'd buy up all the property. They'd buy up all the land.

They'd start getting involved in the political system. And then you'd have a situation like you do in the UK. Yeah, well, I was going to say slowly in the U.S., but yeah, that's how I think it should be in the U.S., but yeah, in the UK, they've lost. It's over. They're done. That whole country's gone.

It's gone. Like the Indians and all the, the foreigners came in, they just, it's it. Allow them to vote, allow them to be prime minister. They took over the political, they changed all the laws in their own favor. They took all the, the expensive land. You know, they drove the economy into the shitter. They brought all of their own people over there, took all the jobs.

So, yeah, it's like, so that's, even if, even if the native-born, UK citizens rebelled right now, it's, there's nothing. They're outnumbered. There's nothing. Well, they already have been. They've been rioting and set in fires. There's nothing you can. do. You're a minority now in your own country and you let it happen. So it is what it is. And the Thai are just going to not let that happen over there. Because Thailand, like I said,

it wouldn't be Thailand. So I agree with that. I agree with this shit. You know what I mean? Like I can go over there. Luckily, I have a Thai girlfriend that I've been talking to for about six months now. And, you know, so things will be a little bit different when I get over there. I'm probably going to get married and do all that. She might take me for everything I have and tell me to go fuck myself at the end. But, you know, but you have to, you have to roll the dice. You know, you have to gamble. I'm a gambling, man. Never with my money, my money, only with my life and my future, you know.

Yeah, you know, it's just, it is what it is. You know, like I said, I got the visa. I got, I got a plan. I've been saving a little bit. The past year, I tried to save money. Working DoorDash, but it just didn't work out for me. Worst job, worst job I've ever had in my entire life. Listen, if any of you out there have ever, are thinking about,

doing door dash just don't do it just don't do it it's bullshit um let's see well i mean it's bullshit for a full-time job but you but there are some people that will fit like two hours in here yeah if you want to just make 20 or 30 bucks here there like if you need an extra 50 dollars or something yeah that's great you know it's a great opportunity but trying to do it full-time it's a joke yeah i saw this clip just last night someone doing door dash and uh he's living in his car doing DoorDash. I watched that guy too. But he actually makes more money off social media.

He's like, I made this much money off DoorDash today. But really, I made $4 or $500 off YouTube, TikTok, whatever. I made this, I mean, $62 off TikTok or I made $110 on Instagram. I made, and he adds it all up. And he's trying to save up like 50, 60 grand. He's going to start building a tiny home. 60,000 to buy it. And yeah, he lives in his car.

He DoorDash is 12 hours a day. Yes. Fuck that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sleep in his car in Seattle or something like that. If you sleep hot at night, you know how disruptive that can be.

There have been very few times when I've almost lost my mind in my life and over this past year doing DoorDash every day is one of these times in my point in times in my life where I'm going to look back and be like, I was this close to losing my sanity. I know this is a little off

topic of the subject but so what is like some of the most insane things or like frustrating things about it door dash yeah you'll drive for eight 10 hours a day and in make 80 bucks 60 80 bucks uh you'll get to a restaurant and you'll have to wait 15 or 20 minutes for the order to even for the food to even get brought out to you and they put all of these measures in place so that you can't like when you get there and if you're waiting too long for the food like you can't just say oh I don't want to do this order and cancel it and leave the restaurant like you have to wait there for the food and there's no way for you to go back on the app like to get out of it I mean you can but like they so there's like this point system and like the lower your points go the shittier orders you know what I mean so like if you like just so an order so let's say you an order comes up and it's for like four dollars and it's like a McDonald's order you're like I'm not doing this order you can go fuck yourself I'm not doing this one So you just pass on it, which you have the right to do. You can pick and choose the orders you want.

But if you pass on too many orders, your acceptance rate will drop, and they'll only give you shitty orders. Like all of your orders will be $2, $3, $4, and you'll never see an order over $4. So the higher your acceptance rate goes, in theory, which I've tested this in this bullshit, so the higher your acceptance rate goes, you're supposed to get the bigger orders. So you'll get an order for like $20 or whatever. Well, those are good orders. Like, if I get order for like 20 bucks, dude, that just made my day. Right.

You know? But it doesn't always work like that, you know? So it's just like, and then they'll have you driving. Like, I was driving probably 3,000 miles, like 1,500 miles a week, 1,600 miles a week. Because I was driving from, I would go out at like 8, 9 o'clock in the morning and I would stay out until sometimes 3.30, sometimes 4.30. But usually around 5, 30, 6 o'clock is when I would come home. And I would do that 7 days a week. So I'm driving 15, 1,600 miles a week for $320, $450.

Come on, dude. It's frustrating as fuck. You know, and then like sometimes you can't find the address. You'll pull into an apartment complex. And the building, the address they give you is the number that's on their door. I don't have a building number. I don't know where this ad. So now you're driving around this apartment complex for 30 fucking minutes trying to deliver for a $4.

Wendy's horseshit. Dude, it's absolute horse shit. And it just, and then, and then the road ragers, like, dude, people here in Florida, unbelievable, unbelievable. They don't let you merge. They cut you off. They speed, like speed, like the speed limit here in Florida, it's just a recommendation. Right. It's just a suggestion. Nobody, nobody goes. So if it's the speed limits, say, what's it out here on 56, 55, 55, 50, 45, I don't know what it is because nobody drives it. 55, I think. No, I think it'll, yeah, 55 or 65. If you're not doing 30 miles over speed limit, they drive this close to your bumper. Right. Like, if you're not driving as fast as the person behind you thinks you should be driving, they'll drive this close to your bumper. And I'm not exaggerating.

Like, that's not me being, you know, going off on a tangent here. These motherfuckers will get this close to your rear bumper and road rage on you. Like, tailgate the fuck out of you until you either get over or you slam on the brakes and they smash into the back of you and you cause a major accident. So you got to deal with that all day long. And it's just one thing after another, after another. Like you'll go out one day and you'll have every order will be a problem. You'll show up to the restaurant and some asshole will just come and grab your order before you got there. So now I got to get on the phone with customer service.

I got to tell them that somebody already picked up the order. That's a 15 or 20 minute ordeal. Then every time they're like, well, can you just ask the restaurant to remake the order? Are you kidding me? This restaurant's smashed. It's a lion around the corner. It's like a 45 minute wait just to even talk to somebody to get a table and you want me to just to ask them to redo the order now and I have to wait here for another hour Come on, dude, for nine bucks, because I'm only making like eight or nine dollars on this order

Hors shit, dude, horse shit. So moving to another country, how much are you packing? How much are you bringing with you? How much can you bring with you? Yeah, oh, I'm only taking one duffel bag and a backpack. Yeah, I'm a light traveler. I don't believe in And, you know, I'm not one of those guys that shows up at the airport with like 15 or 20 suitcases, you know, bringing five pairs of underwear, five pairs of socks, five T-shirts, actually six, three black, three white, two pairs of shorts, three pairs of shoes, my toothbrush, my deodorant, some soap. And then, you know, my laptop and my MacBook and my iPad. Is there a max amount you can bring? And you could bring as much shit as you want, but you're going to have to pay for all those bags to go up underneath the plane. You could bring 30 bags if you want. You're going to have to check every single one of those bags,

and they all have to be under 50 pounds, I think, 40 pounds to get them out of the airport. Day one, like what's your plane landing? You land in Thailand. Like, what's the first thing you're doing? Where are you going? Get checked in at the hotel. And then depending on how I feel, I don't know how bad I'm going to be jet lagged because I've never, you know, 26 hours. I've never really been on this kind of crazy flights before.

I don't know how it's going to affect me. What about cell service? And what about, yeah, like for your cell phones? Does your phone number switch over? No, no, no, no. You got to get a SIM in country. Yeah, you got to get a SIM either at the airport or, you know, outside of the airport or whatever. But I already have all that kind of laid.

I had so much, like, laid in front of me. Like, I'm not just getting there and be like, oh, my God, I don't know what to do. I'm going to wing it. Yeah. No, like, as soon as I get the airport, I got somebody meeting me at the airport that is from Bangkok, speaks the language, you know. So there, you know, there's going to be no, like, getting ripped off by taxi drivers outside the airport, which is extremely common for people who just show up there and have never been

there before. You know, and like I'm just, you know, go to the hotel, check in, you know, which is up on Kausan Road, which Kausan Road is a part of Bangkok. It's extremely popular with all of like the backpackers, you know, so it's like very busy. There's a lot of tourists. There's super touristy area. And I decided to stay there because I wanted to kind of get that kind of vibe going in, like as soon as I get there.

You know, so yeah, like I said, I don't know. It depends on how I feel when I get there. If I'm not jet lagged, I'm just going to go out probably all night in film because they're 12 hours ahead of us. So, at p.m. there is a. here for us. So it's going to take me a while to get my, what do they call that, my circadian rhythm back, you know, in line with the nighttime and daytime over there. So when I get over there, like, I'm going to be used to being up all night. I'm at the probably stay up all night for the first couple days until I get it, the equilibrium, you know, kind of back in check. What about the other YouTubers, the ones we always watch?

There's a handful of YouTubers, yeah, in Bangkok. Well, in Thailand that I watch a lot of them. One dude, his name's Wayno, Waino's Adventures. I really, I love his videos. Is that the one we watched? He's an Australian dude. He's the Australian with the mullet, kind of heavier set with a chip tooth. He doesn't give a shit.

Is this the one that was chased by the kids? No, no, that's MASHTAG Brady. He made, this video, he made the mistake of giving these little kids. For a limited time at McDonald's, enjoy the tasty breakfast trio. Your choice of chicken or sausage McMuffin or McGrittles with a hash brown and a small iced coffee for five bucks plus tax. Available until 11 a.m. at participating McDonald's restaurants. Price excludes flavored iced coffee and delivery. Money.

And boy, let me tell you, next thing you know, there's 20 of them, just stalking him, just chasing him through the streets. He's running. He hopped on like a little took-took and they were chasing. and the tuk-took down jumping on the back of it holding on to the took took it was yeah it was wild but that was india it wasn't like a block either bro he went like a long they went like a mile or so these kids no it was like a 15 minute ride yeah yeah and they were still there you got six eight year olds on the back of the rickshaw it's pretty wild but that's india no so wayno's adventures uh is one but he's been to thailand right the guy you were just the mash tag yeah so there's a

channel called mash tag brady uh which is he goes all he goes all over the world but i first started watching him in Thailand. So his Thailand series when he was in Thailand is when I first started watching his channel. Because I was watching Thailand videos. So yeah, and then there's another guy, Keys, keys.1. Another Australian guy.

His videos are like super clean. It's like super clean cut. You can tell they're they're, you know, he writes probably writes out the scripts before he does it. He plays around with different camera angles. Super polished. You know, very, very well put together and like the B-roll and the music and everything's well crafted. And he's the guy

Have we watched him? There's different spectrums of the YouTubers that are over there. There's like there's guys like Keys who does like very, very well, you know, manuscripted, crafted, put together videos that just, that present themselves well and they're fun to watch. And then you got like on the other end of the spectrum, you've got guys like Wayno who just like, you know, dude's just an absolute maniac. Says ridiculous hilarious. No, that's that's MASH tag Brady.

Yeah, you're thinking of MASH tag. Okay. Yeah, you're thinking of MASH tag is an absolute maniac. Yeah. He does videos where he just gets blackout drunk in every city he goes to. And that'll be the title of the video, Blackout drunk in Barcelona, blackout drunk in Amsterdam, blackout drunk in Bangkok, blackout drunk.

And he does. He gets in complete, he's on the ground, he's puking everywhere. Like, he's just an absolute maniac. And that's why every video he puts out gets half a million views. And everywhere he goes,

people recognize him. Everywhere he goes. Like every, doesn't matter what city he's in. He can be on top of a building where there's like a rope swing going. Like he went on like the other day he was in, Germany I believe where they do like the big Christmas

thing because like in Cologne Germany or like the biggest Christmas on planet. Okay. Well I guess he was there and there's some kind of swing up in the top of the building where it's like you get in a harness and it swings out off the ledge and comes back. He's walk up there he's waiting for his turn in line. The guy

swinging's like, is that moustag? Mastag! Massad, Bray! Like it's insane how noticeable and recognizable this guy is everywhere he goes. But you know it's because he puts out that crazy, crazy content. I don't think I'll be doing those kinds of things, just simply because I'm just not a party animal like that anymore.

You know, I party for like two decades, pretty much, and now I'm like into my 40s. I don't drink, you know, I'm not going to be out at the strip clubs every night and all that shit. Like those videos do well and that content's fun to watch, but I don't think I want to make that kind of content. You know what I mean? I just want to live a normal life, to be honest with you.

You know, and that's part of the reason why I'm going over here because I feel like I can just live a normal life without having to always be stressed about an $1,800 a month rent on a one-bedroom apartment, you know? Plus electric, plus water, plus food, plus food. You know, car payment. I'm going to have a car note.

I'm going to have a cable bill. I'm going to have a phone bill. Insurance. Insurance, you know. Yeah, car insurance. And if you want to date or have a girlfriend, that's going to be an extra $3,400 every single month for whatever, you know, miscellaneous.

and for me I'm just too lazy to do all of that over here and I'm being completely honest like I just you know I am I'm being completely honest like I'm not I don't have the skills

to bring in those that big income here in the United States you know because unfortunately for me if I want to earn a lot of money here I'm going to have to work really hard physically you know that's just my option

you know like I don't have a PhD I didn't go to college I mean I went to college but I got a graphic I got my degree in graphic design right which I'm not even using, you know, because all those guys, all those jobs got shipped over to India. And, you know, now they, you can't make any money doing graphic design here in the United States unless you own your own company and you get people working for you. And then you got a bunch of

people from India working for you. Yeah, exactly. And then you're outsourcing it to India. So it's just like, you know, what are we doing here? Yeah, all the guys I know that are making big money on editing are outsourcing it to somewhere else. They're managing it here. So it looks like you're the one doing everything, but you're really just managing a bunch of guys that are in another country. Yeah. And listen, I love it here in America. You know, I'm not leaving because I don't like it here. I love it here in America. I mean, if I've had it my way, I'd get me a trailer home, a goddamn muscle car and a bass boat on a couple acres. And honestly, that's all I really need. But even that is outside of what I feel like I can accomplish here. You know, I'd be 50,

I'd be 55, 60 years old before I would even be able to have that. And that's, you know, that's not really wanting a whole lot. You know what I mean? Well, I was going to say, and at the rate things are going up, that may never be possible. Exactly. As, I mean, unless the economy crashes and everything takes a nose dive and then how do you make a living here? Yeah, I'm American. You know, I like, I like fishing. I like hunting. You know what I mean? I like going out west and going on vacation, but it's like, dude, the crime here in this country has just become unreal. You know what I mean like I mean no because I never leave the house yeah but you never leave the house but it's like say I want to go somewhere on vacation say I want to just go to like Atlanta or I want to go to

Dallas and I want to go on vacation you know it's like I can't like you can't feel safe you don't feel safe in the in the large cities anymore in America you can't just if I want to go out at three o'clock in the morning and just go run errands and go do shit I got to worry about getting robbed I got to worry about becoming the victim of a violent crime if I leave my house after 10 p.m. anywhere, anywhere in the United States, any major city in the United States, you have to worry about becoming the victim of a violent crime if you're leaving your house after 10 p.m. And that's, to me, that's no way to live. I don't want to live like that. What's the crime situation in Bangkok or Thailand? There's crime. Like, I'm not going to say

there isn't any crime. You know, people get murdered and stuff over there, but it's like, you don't have to really worry about it. Like, there's, the, the crime is so low in Southeast Asia because the punishment for crime over there is swift and severe. You know what I mean? Like, you don't fuck around over there. Like, you get caught, like, stealing or you get caught, like, I don't know,

hitting somebody over the head with, like, a pipe wrench or something like that and taking their money, like robbing them, you're done, you're cooked. You're going to prison for a long time. That's a one-time crime. You had to do that once. Yeah, so I'm going to say something.

Petty crime, there's a lot of it. Right. Like, pick pockets. You know what I mean? Like, people, like, you can leave your, shit out and like nobody's going to take it like it's not bad like some of those other countries like you go to like they'll just ride by on a scooter and snatch your hand snatch your phone out of your hand like if you go to the philippines that that can happen to you like a lot of

the places over here like dominican republic uh uh where's another country where you go like people just snatch shit right out of your hand you know Thailand those things don't happen because they're just a lot of it boils down the culture it's not because they you know they punish the crime it's just the culture like people over there just don't steal from each other you know what I mean like they're just not you're not gonna have to worry about somebody coming up to you at an ATM and putting a gun in your face and taking all your money like you just you don't have to worry about those things over there you don't have to worry about mass shootings you know I can go to the grocery store and I have to worry about getting my head blown off going just to a Walmart because some guy comes in there just decides they want to shoot 20 people like it just those things just don't happen in Thailand they just don't they just don't happen I don't really worry about that but but I hear you I'm worried about those things those are those are some of the things I worry about when I leave the house because I still want to go out and like explore and like you know be a part of society and experience culture and you know go on adventures

like I'm not at that point in my life yet where I just want to hide in the house and make money you know what I mean that's not my MO yet eventually I'll get there my MO I know that's why I said that so I mean and that's fine you know to each throne everybody's kind of on their own path

you know choosing making their own decisions but it's like you know I want to I want to be able to go out and explore a city without having to worry about becoming the victim of a violent crime, period. And you're able to do those things in Asia. Asia's come, it's safe. Women don't have to worry about getting mugged

and, you know, those things just don't, they don't happen. I mean, they do, but they don't, like I said. Because, like, no place is crime-free. Right. Statistically, there's less of a probability that happens. Like, no place is crime free. There's going to be crime everywhere.

People are going to be murdering and stealing and robin and carjacking, everywhere you go. But in Southeast Asia, it's just not on the scale of what it is here you know so what do you think about just right like right now what you think you're going to be able to live for a month like i know you've done the if i was so yeah i've done it multiple times so if i was going over there and i was just planning to live on my own um i would probably need somewhere like around 1500 a month two thousand dollars a month to live super comfortable you know and that's and when i say super comfortable that's living more comfortable

than probably at any point in time in my life I've ever lived over here except for when I was committing major amounts of fraud. Right. You know? So maybe like $1,500 a month. And it's super comfortable living on your own

with like no roommates or like nothing. But since I do have a girlfriend and we're not going to be like splitting the bills like straight down the middle because she has a tie wage. She makes tie money, which they only make like $5 or $600. The average tie over there only makes maybe

five, $600, $700, $700 a month for everything, you know. So I wouldn't, obviously, I'm not going to ask her to split all the bills down the middle with me, but since I am going to, we're going to be living together and sharing, like she's going to share in some of the responsibility, that's going to drastically reduce my monthly expenses every month, as well as she's going to be able to get like tie pricing. So if we go to get a condo somewhere, they're going to give me one price, but they're going to give her another price because, you know, so I'm also going to get. get a lot of advantages like that.

Kind of like restaurants. Restaurants. Or if she goes grocery shopping. Yeah. Well, not so much groceries because that's all set prices. Like you go to Walmart, you're not going to be able to haggle. You know, they tell you it's $2 for a slice of cheese. It's $2 for a slice of cheese.

Yeah. But so say like we go to like for renting condos and like just doing like extracurricular activities and like going to markets and like bartering with like Thai people selling shit, she's going to be able to get me a lot better prices, obviously because she's going to deal with them and not me. So I do have that advantage. I do have that in my favor so for financially so like, yeah, so I'm going to be able to survive

on less than $1,000 a month over there and live comfortably. Yeah. No problem. No problem at all. I don't know how much you want to talk about it, but how did you meet her? So, so that that YouTube channel that I watch, Thai Talk with Dan. Yeah.

And that's how he does it when he introduces. So I watched that YouTube channel a lot and he, so they were talking about like, Like, he did a video on, like, all of the dating sites over there. And they're so, like, over there, they have Tinder. Obviously, they have it everywhere. But there's an equivalent, there's a Thai equivalent to Tinder called Thai friendly. And I wasn't even really trying to, like, find a girlfriend, to be honest with you.

You know what I mean? Like, I just wanted to see what the dating pool was like over there. And listen, I don't know if anybody who dated, obviously Kobe's been with the same girl since high school. So he doesn't understand. But when you go on, like, Tinder or any of these dating sites here, it's, it's an, nightmare it's an absolute shit show right of a goddamn nightmare uh it's like i you know you don't it's like you don't know what you're gonna get right you know uh but over there it's like i look i signed up for the account and i swear to god i woke up because our nights they're

their daytime so when i woke up the next morning they so they were up all day i had probably 50 matches and over over all of all those 50 matches every single one of them messaged me which is you don't get that here like on the dating sites here. Now here you're, if you get a match, you have the message first. If you put out 40,

you know, introductions or, you know, text whatever, however they call it. One, yeah, you might get one or two.

One might respond and then you talk to her for two hours and then they just don't want to talk to you anymore. Like it's a joke here. It's an absolute joke. So like I said, I got all of these likes and everything. And I know it's because I'm a white dude

and you know, like that's just, I understand like the money part. Like when foreigners come over there that we bring a lot of money with them. Our money's worth a lot more. So every, a lot of the time i'm not going to say every tie girl but a lot of that's why a lot of Thai women

date foreigners exclusively is for the financial benefits right like i'm not an idiot you know what i mean like i don't think i'm just like just some great looking guy and i'm gonna walk over there and you know be able to get all this tail right but so like i said i just wanted to see what the dating pool was i mean i know i'm not ugly yeah i was just that you still actually that is it would it doesn't matter if you go over there that is what what would happen you get a lot of tail just because you're an american or or because they know you're potentially you're potentially to make money vastly outranks the males in that country. Yeah, and let me just say it doesn't matter what you look like when you go.

I mean, it definitely helps. Oh, I'm sure. Like, if you're more attractive, it definitely helps, like, on the prices you're going to get with the women and all that. But it's like, it doesn't matter what you look like when you go over there. You could have three eyes and a tail, and you're still going to have a 10 trying to take you out, trying to, you know, hook up with you every single day. It's just how it is.

The problem is these guys get these chicks that they convince them. Like, you're, you're a, you're five foot eight, 50 pounds overweight, bald. You got a gut. You got, yeah. Bad teeth. Yeah. You're all fucked up. And you're dating a chick.

And this chick who's, you know, a 10, and you're dating her. And within a week, she's convinced you, she is head over heels in love with you. And you, you're, and you fall in love with her. It's like, bro, what do you? Like, don't you understand what's happening here? And they don't. man, you know what you understand? I thought she loved me.

It's like, bro. Yeah, listen, these guys, be reasonable. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you got to have some kind of sense when you go over there. Because, listen, there's women over there that that's their job. It's just being in relationships. Yeah. That's just, they don't work. They don't do anything.

That's their job. They're professionally just in a relationship, and the guy just takes care of them. Yeah. You know what I mean? And then when that guy leaves the country or whatever, they'll talk them into keep sending money to them and they'll grab another one coming into the country and they'll get with him. And it's just they'll keep them on rotation. So, like, one.

girl have like 15 guys sending her money like on a good day sending her money from out from out of the country because he's she's got all these men thinking that they're in love with them and they're going to have some kind of life with her but i have to go back because i was you know most guys that go over there they only go over there for like a month right few weeks they're not like me they just get a one-way ticket there's very few people just are like fuck everything and i'm just gonna move to thailand i'm gonna figure it out yeah normal people don't do that normal people go over there on vacation and they like i'm gonna have a good time and we go back home and like i said They get roped in by these Thai women.

And next thing you know, they're going back to the UK or to the U.S. And they're just sending the money every month. Because what is it? $300, $400 a month. You send $300 back to them. That's $10,000. Yeah, to them, that's a ton of money. That's a ton of money.

For you, it's $300. And the Ties live cheaply. Like, so Ties will pay $10,000 a month for rent. Right. You know, maybe sometimes less than that, $8,000, $10, 15. So you're sending her money. You're paying her all her meals. Plus, she's got other guys.

Three or four of you. She's got four of you. Living good. Yeah. Their nails are done all the time. They're going out to eat. They got the latest iPhone. And they've got whatever guy is currently there they're working on.

He's spending five, six hundred bucks, maybe $1,000 a month. Oh, yeah. He's there for that month. Oh, it's like a whole, it's like a whole ordeal. Yeah. And I'm so glad I've, like, learned about that. What was the guy's channel that reads the letters? Tie Talk with Den.

Tie Talk. Yeah. Tie Talk with Den. Yeah. We'll have to leave a link to. down in the description of this video. But yeah, listen, that channel right there will really, like, if you're one of those guys who are thinking you're just going to go over there and find a wife, I highly recommend

watching these videos first because it's really going to open your eyes up. And I'm not saying that there aren't good women in Thailand because there are, but you're not going to find them working at a bar. The bar girls over there, you will never find a good bar girl. They're just going to take all your money. That's what they do. Any woman working in like freelancing or anything like that, which is prostitution is basically what it is.

I mean, let's, these girls are prostitutes, and I hate to use that word because that word here in America is, you know, associated with a stigma to it. Very,

the underbelly of the worst of the worst of society. And it's like, but you don't understand the economy over here. Like, there's no opportunity for these women in Thailand. Like, you've got all these guys coming there and they're just blowing all this money

and these young girls see this and why wouldn't they want to go to these major cities and, you know, come and hook up with these foreigners and get paid. It just is what it is. You know, like, I understand it.

You know, it's not like here in America where, where, bitch, you can go work at Walmart. You know what I mean? You're not going to make $100 grand a year. Bitch, you can go work at Walmart. You don't got to go sell pussy. You know what I mean? It's like over there, they don't have Walmarts and dollar trees and dollar stores and gas.

You know what I mean? It's like different economy. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you can work here. You can get a job as a bartender or as a waitress. And you might have to have a roommate or two, but you can live. You can still pay for, get a cheap car, cheap insurance, or take the boss or what, And you can still pay it.

You're not going to live great, but the bottom of the barrel here is still way better than than the bottom of the barrel over there. Oh, there's slums. So, so. Oh, yeah, we saw the slums. Bangkok is a city of vast, you know, like high society, but then you've got people living in like, you have a whole part of society in Thailand that lives in like slums like tin shacks. Yeah. Like not even like proper housing, like just some shit they found and like nailed together. to live inside of you know what i mean like there's like a train coming through this little i

watch this thing where there was a train coming through this little town or this little like slum and their houses were built maybe the width of this table away from the train track is here would be somebody's house and then like there'd be a train track right here with this giant train just comes through four or five times a day so you know you do have the slums and like they do there are extreme there's very very extreme poverty in thailand but to be honest i could live like that if I had to over there I could go live in the I've listened from living homeless here in America and starving to death I could go live in this if I had to I could go live in the slums over there in Thailand right next to the train track and just eat rice every day and hang out

go to cockfights bad no no you know anyway um so uh I think the language uh is I think I don't think we talked about like the language what's the what's the percentage of people but speak English? They don't. They don't. Language barrier or... So Thai don't speak English over there at all. Like, as like a society.

Yeah. So there are Thai people that do speak good English, but it's normally ties who were raised in families who could afford to send them to, like, university. So like my girlfriend, who I'm the girl I'm talking to, she speaks perfect English. She's actually a teacher. She's a teacher. So she teaches kids. But her major in college was English.

So she speaks... Obviously, she doesn't... pronunciation isn't dead on obviously like she's a native speaker but she gets the nuance the nuances and like the sarcasm and the jokes and yeah her english is just as good as you or over she can hold a full conversation but that's not typical of your average Thai person in Thailand they just don't but listen he'll walk around with her on speakerphone talking to her and he goes into the kitchen the other day and he's getting i you know some ice to get some water he puts it at the thing in and You hear the, you know, the ice dropping.

And she goes, what's that? What's that? And he goes, you get nice. She's like, what? And he goes, I'm getting nice. And he shows her. He's like, I'm getting ice out of the... She said the refrigerator makes ice?

Like, wow. Yeah, so like our kitchens over here, like they don't have, they call them Western kitchens. Right. So if you see a kitchen like this in a house or a condo in Thailand, it's called a Western kitchen. Right. They just don't cook in home over there. And if they do, their kitchens are outside.

of the house it'll be like outdoors like their stove and all that shit will be outside like they don't cook in the homes and they'll have a very like their refrigerators over there are very small like they use not the mini fridges but not the big ones like we have it's like the medium right it's not like a regular size refrigerator they're usually smaller unless you got money and you live in a nice house then you got the western kitchen and all that shit but no as far as language goes uh the Thai language. I've been learning over the past six months. I know probably 15 or 20 words right now, like the greetings and I can order food and, you know, I know a few other phrases, but yeah, the language is definitely a whole conundrum that I'm going to have to tackle because learning

Thai isn't like learning any other language because they don't use the English alphabet. You know what I mean? Like they're, they're like if you see Thai written, you don't even know, it's just a bunch just scribbly lines. You can't even make sense out of it. You know what I mean? Yeah, so the language is pretty wild over there. It's just, you know, it's going to be a feat. Right.

But no, like, the more I get into it and the more I learn it, I'm like, okay, there's just, there's words that they reuse a lot where you can, you know, bridge. What is the, where you can use a translator. Yeah, and I got Google Translate, which, right. And I got chat GPT, you know, that'll act as a translator between two people if I want to have a conversation with them. it'll relay what I'm saying to them and then them back to me. But it's not like you can go to, like you're walking through France and you turn around

and like, you know, 30, 40% of the population speaks English. Not like you can sit there and go, does anybody speak English? And somebody's going to stop it. Yeah, yeah, I speak English. No, no, no, no, it's not like that. Well, in Bangkok, I think, yeah. But as soon as you get outside of Bangkok, no. Now people would just don't, and there's different dialects.

And where people, like, if you go to northern Thailand, they speak different Thai than southern Thailand. Right. You know, so obviously I'm probably going to go. go to school when I get over there just so I can learn the language well and understand it well because it'll probably take me twice as long if I don't go to school to learn the language. Right. You know, and I think maybe I can get a tie, I can get a visa to actually stay and learn the language.

It's called a Thai educational visa. So that's one of the visa options I'm looking at when I go over. Yeah, so when I get over, obviously I'm going to be doing editing for a living when I get over there. and that should carry me through my monthly expenses. But, you know, I'm really going to be focusing on my YouTube channel because, I mean... What you renamed it? It was Bozziak. It was Bozziak conundrum, but, you know, people don't really read even at a ninth grade level.

So the conundrum was just too big of a word for a lot of people to even spell when I tell them, you know, what my name of my website or my name of my YouTube channel is. So it's just my name, John Boziac. And that's everything now. That's my TikTok. That's my Instagram. That's my YouTube channel. that's everything is just my name john boziac right which is still difficult people want to spell my last name with a z um there's no z put that in the keywords in the keyword search yeah you know

oh you're right yeah misspell it in the in the keyword search yeah i mean there's no we look up there's almost no boziacs out there there's none yeah um but i'm the only one but nobody can spell it right so i'm going to have to spell it people want to spell it b o z i a k right it's it's it's pronounced exactly how it's spelled Bobziak, B-L-S-E-A-K. Never mind, that's besides the point. So, yeah, John Boziak, and I'm just going to be basically vlogging my everyday experiences in Thailand. You know, and while I'm vlogging, you know, this is how much I paid for this.

This is how much I paid for that. You know, this is how you do this. This is how you do that. This is how you get around. You know, and I'm going to explore, like I said, different parts of Bangkok. So each, you know, trip will be a different series of, you know, a different part of Bangkok. But, you know, I'm going to get outside of Thailand. I think after like the first, you know, eight or nine months of there, I'm going to start

traveling to like Lao, Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines. I would try and hook up with some of the other guys that have, you know what I'm saying? Like at least meet them so you can build a Lisa like a group, you know, like a support group. You're talking about the YouTubers that are already there. Yeah, the other YouTubers. Because they'll, they have the, you know, they have the lay of the land. And they've been there for a while. And they know what works and what doesn't work.

And then, you know, you can have a little community of, like, kind of like, you know, Julian, Danny, Wade, you know what I'm saying? Like there's a group of little YouTubers, even though we're not even in the same place. It's funny you say that because I've heard, I've watched another guy who was over there and he was talking about the same thing. And he was like, I've tried to link up with a lot of these guys that are over here doing content and they just don't. They're just not interested. They're just not interested for some reason. Like, you know, I don't know why.

Maybe like, maybe because the kind of content that I know. make they don't want their channel associated with like people motherfuckers are just weird people are just weird as hell so they would be cool to be able to hang out with some of these guys and film content but i'm not i'm not banking on it because just from what i've heard they don't really they don't really like to collaborate with other people like i'll make an attempt because i think this is what help conscript their their subscribers and and and your easy content and they're easy and i think there's a how do you say this um the opposite of having the abundance mindset, the scarcity, where they're like, oh, there's so many people over

here making videos that I can't, you know what I mean? Like, I don't want to promote anybody else's channel because they might do better than mine. You're like, I don't know. And I don't, like, obviously I don't know that, but I'm assuming that's how like a lot of the mind frame is with these guys over there. No, there's, there's, there's, there's those, you know, those people that, uh, think if you're, if you're getting a piece of pie, you're taking it from my potential pie. But the truth is, there's just too many people. There's, there's such a big demographic. and like my demographic may not be your demographic. The people that watch my videos may not watch your videos and vice versa.

You know, so, you know, I don't know, we'll see. We'll see what happens once I get over there. I'll message a few of these guys. Let me get on the ground, get there for a while, start traveling around, and then, you know, really establish myself over there and start putting out a lot of content. We'll see how my channel does initially. And if it takes off, then I'll start maybe reaching out to some of these guys. Maybe, maybe, maybe not.

How many videos you plan on putting out a week? You're just going to wing it? I'm going to wing it. I'm going to try and do one every day, like just a vlog every day, but I know I'm not going to be able to stick to that. So I'm going to try and do as much content as I possibly can. And for the first 90 days, it's going to be crazy because I'm going to be traveling and traveling and traveling. So I'm going to put on a lot of content. So like the first 90 days, I'm just going to completely saturate with content.

But then when I get back to Bangkok and I kind of want to like, I'm going to have to figure out like, okay, now I'm out of vacation mode. because the first 90 days, I think I'm going to be in vacation mode. But then after that, I'm going to try and figure out, like, just like a daily routine, wake up, gym, film. You know, then I'm having to, obviously, I'm going to have to have some kind of hobby while I'm over there. So, you know, but figuring all of that out will be a video series. And then once I get settled into my daily routine, that'll be a different, you know, video series. And then...

What about Patreon? So here, right. So here's what I was thinking. I want to get over there and I want to set up a podcast studio, kind of like, like this because i want to do the vlogging but i just honestly i like the long form you know content you know having conversations so what i want to do is i'm the vlogging and all my regular content will go to my youtube channel but then everything i do in the podcast studio i want to just go straight to patreon so i'm going to interview like expats people who have moved from other countries

who are currently living in thailand i want to interview those people uh i want to interview like the the sex workers, the bar girls, the, the transients, the, you know, whoever, whoever, all of those interviews I'm going to have exclusively on Patreon itself. Yeah. Yeah, if you get a couple of bar girls that speak good English to do, they could probably tell you some insane stories. So it would be almost be different than Dan, Dan, Dan. Ty Talk with Dan?

Then it'd be different than Dan. Dan. it'd be different than his channel because he's reading stories of right yeah yeah yeah oh you're getting it straight from the horse's mouth this is what the chick is saying that you know they're gonna twist it apparently a lot of them don't like going on camera oh i'm sure i'll bet that's why i want to have it exclusively for patreon oh yeah yeah because then it's not going to catch out yeah yeah it won't be everybody can't go and see only the people who pay to see it can see it so i think maybe if i work that angle i'll be able to get a lot more of them in there yeah um and then there's like this whole like subculture in thailand they're called sex Tests. All right. What's that? Guys who are just like, they go over there and you're just like, you know, going raw dog and like five or six chicks every single day. Just going nuts all over the place.

Like that one dude, O's show. Yeah, yeah. I played it for one of his videos for you. This dude's a, this dude's maniac. Where's a ski mask won't show his face. And he like, he's got a problem. He has some kind of hidden camera. Like he cakes in there with him.

And he shows himself like picking up the prostitute going into the back room with her. Obviously he blurs everything out. Hey, so what did you want to talk about? Well, I want to tell you about Wagovi. Wagovi? Yeah, Wagovi. What about it? On second thought, I might not be the right person to tell you.

Oh, you're not? No, just ask your doctor about Wagovi. Yeah, ask for it by name. Okay, so why did you bring me to the circus? Oh, I'm really into lion tamers. You know, with the chair and everything. Ask your doctor for Wagoe by name. Visit wagoe.combe.com for savings.

Exclusions may apply. For YouTube, because you can't really show. But yeah. Oh, yeah. And he says he has a problem. Like he knows he's got a problem. Like he's out he's like, I've tried everything. I've tried motorcycles, cars. He's like video games, get old. He's like, this is the only thing for me that really, he's like the prostitutes, man. He films himself going to Tijuana, Mexico, Hong Kong, Tijuana, Mexico. He films himself going to Patia, Thailand, and just hooking up with prostitutes. And yeah, there's no shame in his game. So there's like this whole subculture of people that are called sex pests. And I'd love to get a few of them guys in there and interview a few of them guys. because those guys are just insane. What about, I was going to say. And you know, on Patreon, you can say whatever you want. You can have nudity. I can have them chicks in there, topless, interviewing them if I want.

You know what I mean? What I was going to say is like literally if it's 10 bucks and you get, you know, you get 50 guys for 10 bucks, that's 500 bucks, bro. That's your rent. You see what I'm saying? I'm saying, if you build it up and you get, you know, people paying $10, that's, that's, that's rent. It's amazing how far the U.S. dollar goes once you actually leave the United States. States. It's absolute insanity. Yeah, I wonder how long it would take to get that many Patreon. And I'm going to, and when I do the Patreon, once I film the podcast episodes for the

Patreon, I'm going to do a full TikTok for it. So I'm going to do TikToks from the Patreon episodes, which are going to be really good. And I'm also going to do like an Instagram for, and might even do a shorts channel for the Instagram or for the Patreon. So you know what I mean? Just cut like 10, 15 minute shorts from every Patreon video, clean it up. clean them up a little bit. But that way they kind of know what they got. Exactly. They'll watch the short channel.

Yeah, but oh, just go to the subscribe to the Patreon to get to the, yeah. So I'm going to work that angle. Being able to set up a studio over there, I can probably do relatively inexpensively. I could probably rent a place for $150 bucks,

US a month. Yeah. A decent little studio, just somewhere to set up a couple of cameras and some mics and shit. Yeah. 150 bucks a month, maybe $200 a month, the US over there.

So especially, you get a place with no windows. That'd be a plus. Yeah. Get a room with no windows. Yeah, just in like an office building somewhere. Even if it was, it's almost like the soft white underbelly, even if you could hear people outside yelling or sirens or something, what does it matter? I'm in Bangkok.

What do you expect? I'm in Bangkok. There's, there's, there's, there's, you can hear prostitutes outside. Like, it's kind of like the, you can hear prostitutes outside. Well, I'm saying, you know, the soft white underbelly thing, when you're on Skid Row, you know, you were there. You hear people are driving by. People are yelling. They're fighting.

There's, there's sirens. There's, you hear everything. Like, like, before I went on soft white underbelly, I thought, he was. he that was like a soundtrack like he added that for you know what i'm saying for then once you get down there it's right on 6th street yeah and uh what do they call that skid row yeah 12 feet away you know i'm whatever i'm 10 feet away from the door a foot outside of there there's crackhead screaming and hollering getting any scream and you can hear sirens and i remember what i was doing he was like okay he's like wait wait wait wait because we heard a siren i was like i was like oh i thought

you wanted wanted that in the backer that's why you were down here he's like yeah usually but not in this case is not for you and we waited for this thing to go by and then he was like or this ambulance or something and he was like okay go ahead yeah i thought because i even told him on the thing i said you know when i watched the first couple of these things i thought you actually that was like like um sound effects i thought i was gonna get rob pulling up oh yeah i pulled up in a rental car i got out i had all my jewelry on and shit and i'm dude you're you're down there and skid row it's rough i was like holy fuck i'm looking around for the address i'm like that just can't be right there's no way i the GPS took me to the wrong

neighborhood. No, he picked me up because he said Uber, he said a lot of Uber drivers don't aren't going to want to drop you off. Yeah. He was like, he was like so the Uber drivers won't even go down there. That's how crazy it is. Look, Mark is, was he six two, six three? He's tall. He's tall. He's tall, lanky. He was driving a BMW, you know, the little compact BMW two door. That's what he was driving. Yeah. It looks like a like a clown mobile. He pulled up. He's like, you know, Hey, Matt, come on in. I was like, like, this car is too small for me.

Yeah. He's in there, like. When we were doing my interview, he just laid down on the floor. Yeah. He had the camera on this little tripod, but like on the floor, and he just laid down on the floor like this.

He was just interviewed. Yeah. He doesn't give a shit. Same thing. He just lay down. He looks every once while. He's laying back. Yeah, he doesn't give a shit.

Mark's cool. Yeah, so softland underbelly was a thing. That's what I'm saying. Like, you could rent a place in the middle of, in a shit hole area. for next to nothing. Yeah, yeah, you know, I'm going to try and soundproof it the best I can just because I don't like the ambient noise when I'm trying to, you know, have an interview, and do interviews

or whatever. But yeah, so that's going to be Patreon. I'm going to try and do daily videos. I don't know how much, like, I'm going to get filmed over there. When you do, like, um, Aaron. I'm going to try my best to just show, just what a normal life is like when you live in Thailand. Well, do you know how good the Wi-Fi is?

Like, if you could do lies. Some of the best on the planet. Um, apparently they have, like, some of the fastest. internet speeds on earth. Well, I'm sure if you're downtown, if you, where you want to go. Like, obviously, I'm going to live, I'm going to live in, like, one of those nice buildings that have high speed, yeah. So, um, the live streams, but see, the live streams are going to be hard to do because of the time difference. Oh, yeah.

So, like, I'm, if, say I'm live streaming at, like, midnight, it's going to be noon over here. So if I'm, if I'm, if I'm live streaming, like, 8 o'clock in the morning, it'll be 8 o'clock at night over here. So I might, I might be able to get, like, a day, I can be a day live stream, but it'll be watching it at night over here. Yeah, that would be like, um... Probably a little bit better that way, right? Aaron Smith Levy, uh, he does the stuff on a Scientology. He was, he started his YouTube off by doing a, he said, he made it a goal, like I am doing one live a week.

Well, YouTube really pushes the lives. Right. He said, I think he was, maybe he said, I'm going to do two lives a week. And he said, I started. He said, I'm going to make, no matter what, even if I just get on there, he said, he was like, nobody there. Nobody there and I just read a book for an hour. That's what I'm going to do.

Like, I made that as. my goal just to talk about about Scientology that was it and he said so he started that and he's like you know and it got more you know first one was 30 people or 20 people whatever and you know it kept doing it doing he said after a month I thought this isn't that hard and people are paying attention he's like you know what I'm going to start doing I'm going to see if I can do five a week one a day every week and then so he went from like two to like four then from four to I'm going to do one every day and now he does like three a day yeah I know a lot of the guys This guy I watch, she's in Danang, Vietnam, one of the guys I watch, and he does a live pretty much every day.

Right. He'll do a lot. And if you've got 13, if you have 13,000 subs and you do a live, it's going to at least present it to half those subs. Like, hey, this guy you're subscribed to is doing a live. So that might be something you could think about anyway. Yeah, once I figure out, once I get into like a routine over there and I figure out, like, my day-to-day life is then I think I'll be able to plan the lives. And with the lives, people can donate. Right.

Yeah. buy me a coffee kind of thing or whatever it is no it can be what is it five they can do uh super chats yeah super chats yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and they also have like a members only section of yeah yeah it's kind of like patreon yeah yeah kind of like patreon yeah you know our fear with that is what if something happens all eggs in one basket yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so yeah like i'm just you know doing the vlog daily vlogs um life in thailand videos i got i'm I'm going to do the Patreon, the interviews on Patreon, and then, you know, like I said, I'm going to find a hobby. I have a girlfriend.

Hopefully that works out, and that goes well. But, you know, I'm not holding my breath. Right. Because, you know, I'm 40 years old, and I've been through so many nightmare relationships. Every interaction I've had with a woman historically in my life has just been overwhelmingly negative. So it's kind of hard to go into, and that's not fair for her, kind of going into a relationship. expecting the worst, but it's just like, I don't know, dude, you know? Yeah, yeah.

But like I said, the culture over there is different. The women are different. Things might be different, but I'm not, like I said, I'm not like putting all my eggs in that basket. You're going to pick up a moitai? That's a big thing. I could, yeah, I could do moitai. And it's something I've been thinking about, but I was something else I was thinking

about is like, if I do moitai, I want to go hard. Like, I want to have like legitimate fights and all that. And like, I'm worried about getting injured. Yeah. At my age, like getting, like a breaking a wrist or like a fiender. or like a shin or something at 40. Dude, I'm going to be out. I'm going to be down and out for six or eight weeks.

You know what I mean? You can't be another. Dude, I don't, yeah, I don't want the injuries. I don't want to get the injuries. That's my only thing with Muaytai. Like, I want to do it. And like, I might go and just take the classes and go through the motions and hit the pads. But what fun is that if you're not going to get in the ring and fight somebody?

Like, what good is learning all this martial arts if you're not going to use it? You know, so I'm going to want to fight. And I'm going to, I'm eventually going to get injured because it happens to everybody. when you fight moitai moitai's a rough sport over there i mean you get kicked right in the side of the head it's like boxing it's like kickboxing and boxing put together yeah no i'm all right you're getting kicked in the chin you're kicked in the side of the head you've taken it's rough there was this clip of this like kid he's like 14 years old he's like if this video gets 100 000 views i'll do the top comment and top comment was go to more go to tallyland

and become a fight or whatever and uh like it went super viral and uh he never went but There was a bunch of kids. They started fighting in Thailand at nine or ten years old is when they get into Moytai. And there was a bunch of teenagers that since this guy didn't go, they're like, if I can raise this much money, I will go. And then they raise, like, people give them money and then they never go. It's like a whole little thing. It's like a little subculture of people trying to move to Thailand to become high fighters.

And a lot of people go to Thailand specifically to train Maitai because you can get a visa to come into the country. and train Muay Thai for a year, two years or whatever. Yeah, but I don't know. Like I said, I don't if that's a route I'm going to go. That could be the backup plan. Yeah, no, listen, my bottom of the barrel backup plan is just becoming an English teacher over there. If everything else fails, because I can tattoo over there.

I can become a tattoo artist and I can open a tattoo shop because I have, you know, I have a Thai girlfriend so she can open a tattoo shop and I can go there. And so I can tattoo, like, if I always, I always have that to fall back on, you know, but like, I don't know what the money will be like tattooing. But if everything fails, if all of my plans fail, if my YouTube channel fails, if the economy goes into the shitter, if the American dollar goes bust, I can always teach English over there, always. I was going to say, you'll be, you'll be doing, I speak the language impeccably. You'll be, you'll be, you'll be, you'll be tattooing a little Bangkok, 2005 tattoos and all these little, he would come back from, from, from, tattooing and I'd be like, oh, well, you tattooed today?

And he'd be like, I did two, he'd be like, yeah, I did two butterflies and a, um, I've, I've, I've been tattooing since probably 2003. And professionally since about 2018, 17. And I've tattooed more butterflies in my career than I've tattooed anything else in my entire life. He's like that, infinity, infinity symbols, butterflies, uh, feathers with, uh, turning into butterflies. it's just I can tattoo butterflies with my eyes closed blindfolded I guarantee I could tattoo a butterfly yeah so you know it's just one of those things with the industry yeah if like if everything else fails I can teach English

and I'll have to live like a local because I won't you know they'll pay me a Thai salary I won't be making yeah so I'll have to live like a local I'll have to you know I'll eat rice and noodles every day and it'll just be it'll be what it is but I'll be able to survive and and honestly the the quality of life you live even as a Thai local is like living poor in Thailand you can still kind of have a decent quality of life you're not going to have a brand new car you're not going to live in a luxury

high-rise apartment does anybody even have cars over there but it's on scooters they you know scooters are the probably the main mode of travel just because they don't have the infrastructure build out to have for everybody to own a vehicle right so if everybody owned a vehicle there there would you would never be able to get anywhere because there would just be this constant brick of traffic so everybody drives mopeds and they have the highest fatality rate for traffic deaths in Thailand in the entire world oh i think india kind of holds the crown but i think thailand's a strong second for fatalities over there fucking bad does it have to be it's like every five it's every five or six minutes somebody's getting killed on the road over there in thailand because there's just

it's just mad it's just chaos like if you ever go watch any video on youtube about traffic and Thailand, it is chaos. Plus, they drive on the left side of the road over there, the steering wheels on the right side of the car. So I wouldn't be able to drive a car over there, even if I could afford one because the driving's up there could drive on the left side of the road. I mean, I could do it if I'm just driving straight down one side. Yeah, yeah, but like navigating like.

Yeah, they don't really pay attention to the lanes. They don't really pay attention to the stop signs. Dude, navigating a kind of. They're doing this like constantly weaving in and out. out for each other. Me being able to navigate, coming up into like an intricate, busy intersection,

trying to navigate that on the wrong side of the road, forget about it. I'm going to lose my life. I'm going to get run over. So, you know, but obviously I'm going to buy a motorbike when I get over there.

I'm going to learn, I'm going to have to learn how to drive. I'm going to have to learn how to ride a motorbike. I'm going to have to learn. It goes everywhere. And you can, you know, which is,

there's nothing wrong with that, but like for like the longer trips, like, say if I move like outside of Bangkok, which I think eventually is going to be the plan. It's just to move a little bit outside. of the city buy a little piece of property build a house get married have a couple of kids Jesus oh yeah no I definitely want kids I mean I'm 40 I think I want don't you already have a bunch of kids but I haven't been able to raise them the way I want you mean I want I want one where I can

just get my hands on them and see the thing all the way through to the end from the beginning to the end that's what I that's what I really want you know listen I've done all the drugs I've been to all the parties I've drank all the booze I've slept with all the women you know what I mean like I've done a lot of things in my life that many people don't get to do because they chose to do the right thing to go to work every, you know what I mean? They chose to have a job and a family

and go to work every day. I didn't do any of those things. I've just been being a maniac my whole life. So now, like I'm going to be turning 40 in February and it's the second half. It's half time. Like a midlife crisis kind of ordeal. So now it's like midlife crisis. You move to Southeast

Asia. You get the Asian wife. You know what I mean? You have kids, you get married, you kind of live a nice calm life, you know, where I don't have that overbearing stress of like the mortgage and the car payments and all the crazy shit. Like, you know, that will put me in an early grave heart attack at 55, 60. Right. You know what I mean? Like over there, you just kind of relax. I go fishing, you know, wake up in the morning and do a little bit of fishing, go down to the village and get my vegetables or whatever for I'm going to cook for the day.

And the kids are coming to and from school. you play with them, you raise the kids up over there in Thailand with their value system and their culture, not this mindless garbage here. I think it's the way to go for like the second half of life for like the second part of the, you know, 40 to hopefully 80. Nobody's really living past 80 these days, but, you know, go over there, get healthy.

All the poison that's in our food supply just doesn't exist over there. All the modified food ingredients and preservatives. Kennedy's going to take care of. You ain't lying. JFK is coming in there. RFK, I'm sorry. RFK. I do have a question.

I heard he's going to take it. Don't you even reach for that asper team. You see those videos? I follow you. I follow Instagram where everyone's like that. They'll put like, but cut his picture out and it's obvious like cut out and they'll paste it on like this super jacked. And you'll be able to show a guy reaching the,

don't even think about reaching for that aspartame. Why does he want to take? Why does we want to take fluoride out of all the water? What's the problem with fluoride? The problem with fluoride is it's a byproduct of chemical waste, and it causes all kinds of problems inside the human body. They're saying it's one of the main reasons. People are getting Alzheimer's.

It causes genetic mutations inside your body that don't really have an immediate effect on your life, but over a maybe 10 or 20-year lifespan, you have a lot more problems, like, towards the end of your life with, like, Cognitive ability, cognitive functions, Alzheimer's, osteoporosis, I can't fucking remember. Liver function, you know, it's just over expanded period of time.

Like all of these shit that's in our food supply over here, that's what happens. Like, obviously it's not poisoning us as soon as we eat it or else it would be outlawed. Yeah. But over a given, over a given amount of time, all of the shit that's in our food supply over here is causing the cancers, the carcinoma. Why are they saying that they put fluoride in our? like what's the why put it at all what is the benefit of putting fluoride in the water it's for teeth is it for a teeth right americans have pretty good teeth probably you're gonna say is it like i never i never dove down this rabbit hole in the uk i didn't dive down this robin boy we need to check

i don't none they've never seen for the teeth oh that's another thing and you can't drink the water in in Bangkok and Thailand does he have to do bottled water bottle water yeah you can't drink the water there's parasites in the water because they don't have the facilities to treat the water like we do here which is probably part of the reason they put the fluoride in the water like i haven't dove down that rabbit hole on the white the whole fluoride thing so i like i don't know enough about it i'm gonna look into it now but yeah um oh god what is it in uh um idiocracy uh brundo what was it brando brando it's got electrolytes it got electrolytes that's kind of how i feel about like is that like fluoride like We don't even know why it's in the water supply.

So, yeah, a lot of the things that are in the food supply here, just they're not in the food supply over there. So being able to go over there and, like, actually live healthy and, like, live, I think, a little bit longer because they do, the life expectancy in these Thai country, in these Southeast Asian countries, there's way longer. They live well into their 90s over there, whereas over here, it's usually prostate cancer by 60, you know, 70, you're having a stroke or a heart attack, and then you're lucky if you make it to your 80s. and you're in a walker you're not you're not getting around very well you're being kept alive basically just because of the medication medicine yes because of modern medicine is keeping you in not just because you're just you're we're naturally going to live out of life yeah take you up pull the plug in the medications and all of your internal organs and everything shut down brain and cognitive ability goes away your your muscle stop working but over there it's like they

live a different lifestyle they tend to be a little bit healthier uh on average like the average person in southeast asia they just tend to be a little bit healthier not an obesity problem There's, I mean, there's fat people over there. There's fat Asians now, but not like here in America. You know what I mean? So, yeah, like, I'm just going to get healthy, focus on just being healthy, having some kind of workout regimen, eating healthy, you know, living healthy. And eventually, like I said, I want to have a family, kids, a wife, everything. This is the question actually from my wife.

It's funny. We're talking, we wake up in the morning and we're talking about this podcast and she asked me, she's like, is Matt going to miss him? I was like, I don't know. I'm going to ask him. Listen, you know what's so funny? is I have so many people that have come here and met Boziac and will say stuff, but they'll ask about him. How's he doing?

I'm like, what do you keep that? Like, what is going on? And then, like, Tyler, he said, like, when the hurricane came through, Tyler texted me, he said, are, is, he came through. He's like, is everything okay? And I said, yeah, everything's fine. He said, is Boziac safe? He was, make sure to take care of Boziac.

he was at all costs and he's done this multiple times just out of the blue he's like is boziac okay yeah yeah oh man it's it's probably a little bit different without me here spilling my nonsense all the time but yeah jess has already said she's like i'm kind of gonna miss him i'm a good roommate yeah i am yeah very good roommate i'm hard very hard to come by people like me yeah there's no um there's never any dirty dishes there's never any it's never any it's he's got his cupboard and he's got his place in the pantry he's got his cupboard

he takes everything out he makes everything he puts his side he'll somebody he'll eat and then he puts washers every single thing and puts everything back up so he can have a whole meal

you come downstairs and you only know that he had a meal because you can smell you know what I'm saying you're like oh he must have made something you know I don't like leaving messes I don't like inconveniencing other people and I don't know how or why I got that way

I just don't I'll go out of my way before I inconvenience someone else you know what I mean like because if I inconvenienced somebody by doing something kind of like you know like they have to clean up after me it's like I'll be in my head for the rest of the day sometimes for two days

like damn I should have washed that plate because then he left it and they had to wash it like that'll just fuck with me for two or three days so that's why I just don't do it because I'll have to live in my own personal hell so that's why I don't I'm not loud like I don't make loud noises I don't bring anybody I don't bring like

I hate that when you live with somebody and they're always bringing weird people to the house and you're like, dude, I get it. Like we're sharing, but it's like, dude, you're always bringing people over here. Dude, I don't like that. So I don't do it. We'll be down here and hear him laughing.

But he's like, he'll be watching like cat videos or something on TikTok and he'll be like, dude, I spend an uncomfortable amount of time alone. So I have to have fun. And so we'll be watching TV and we'll both look at each other and look up and just start laughing sometimes. Yeah, I clean up after myself. I'm quiet.

I don't bring anybody. to the house you know in institutions like you get used to taking everything out doing everything you're doing putting it all back stuff gets if you leave something on your locker it could get stolen not that it would because sometimes they'll fuck they'll really beat the piss out of somebody in prison if they catch them stealing yeah people do yeah but the guards will take it or the guards or try or your your your your bunk you'll be like what are you doing bro yeah like you can't leave this shit out like you're gonna get our you're gonna get our get a shook down so you just get you also get used to that i've developed i think i've developed uh oCD over

Just from all the stents of incarceration and all the programs I've been in, I think that's why I have the OCD that I have. So, you know, I'm not one of those people who are just going to leave shit laying around everywhere. Like, I fold my dirty clothes. Right. You know what I mean? Like, I don't leave things. Like, there's a place for everything and everything in its place is how I truly believe. Like, I'll organize garbage.

Like, I can't just leave, like, shit strewn about. Like, it fucks with me on, like, a subconscious level. Like, I'll just be laying in bed and I won't be able to sleep at night, knowing that there's something downstairs that just needs to be cleaned or needs to be put away. it's funny I so I probably when I was incarcerated was probably washing my hands 40 50 times a day and I was about to say you don't really do that anymore and then I just thought about it and I thought bro you wash your hand I was at my hand washer I was at my

my sister's last night we were there for two hours I washed my hand four times just because I picked something up I cut up something I put it down and I thought I should wash my hand like I immediately felt like I should want it's silverware it's fine but there's a bunch of people cutting stuff up and I immediately walked in and washed my hand real quick I don't even think I don't even think that there's anything on the spoon or whatever but mentally I thought to myself there's so many people here I should wash my hands I don't think anybody has anything but you just you get that point and I was just because I was just about

say yeah I don't do that anymore I thought what the fuck are you talking about bro last night you you wash you at least four or five times you were at your sisters I do the same thing I've washed my hand today I probably washed my hands at least four or five times this morning alone sometimes if I'm just walking through the kitchen I'll stop and wash my hands if I'm just walking through the kitchen like I don't me just stop it I don't think I don't think you notice I don't you know like subconscious this is something you do subconsciously yeah but if you hung out with me long enough you'd probably start realizing like bro you wash your hands three times he's a hand washer he's a hand washer he's a hand washer yeah it's like yeah it's weird I don't feel like anything's wrong with me but if it's it's probably not normal behavior it's probably good behavior really yeah I think everybody that's kind of been here well I think everybody that's kind of been here well most people have been through here have been in prison but like it's very clean

they all say that and I look at this place and I think it's chaos but how many people we come here and said wow your place is so well order is so clean I'm thinking to myself

where do you live yeah I mean there's not granted we don't have anything really out like there's no well there's no kids here either yeah

and that's what'll fuck your place up our kids there's no real clutter the only clutter is directly related to the equipment and it's a lot of wire but there's not wires that aren't plugged into something.

Like it's all has its place. Kids and animals will fuck your shit up. Yeah. Yeah. Their problem. They're my, I guess my, my,

my nephew's daughter was there last night at, uh, Thanksgiving dinner. And I mean, listen, I don't, it was like, there's like four or five all,

just there's at least three or four adults just trying to kind of wrangle her. You know what I'm saying? She's picking up everything and sticking to doing drawings. stuff like they must have yanked five pins out of her hand just see grabs when she knows exactly when let's start drawing yeah like my god that's a full-time job bro yeah it's fun so yeah no i think that's i think that's it man you know i'm just uh you know i think this is the best thing for me you know just a single guy i'm not married you know what i mean like i don't have any like a lot of responsibilities so what do we say we'll see how this uh how this plays out in time

I'm watching this in six months going, I really seem confident. I'm entering Colette calls from a Thai jail. Listen, you've got to get some. One thing I can guarantee is I probably, I'm going to do my best not to come back to the United States. Really, I've come to peace with, I'm probably never going to see my mom again. I'm probably never going to see my dad again. You know what I mean? And my kids are all pretty much grown.

I mean, my kids are all teenagers now going into college, so maybe things go over there. If they want to see me, then I'll send them a plane ticket if they want to come over. You know, I have no problem to send them a plane ticket

to come to Thailand, but I'm not. I have no plan whatsoever ever coming back to the United States. Like I said, I love it here. Like I said, I don't hate the United States.

I love it here. I love the wilderness. I love, you know, the culture was cool up until quite recently. You know, but it's just like, it's too much, man.

It's just too much. And I think that there's, there's such a big world out there that it would be a shame not to get out and then at least experience it for a little while. Right. You know? I see that.

All right. So by the time we post this, we're not posting this until your first video is live. When this video gets posted, I'll already be over there. I'll already be in Thailand. Yeah. And so we want everybody to do what?

Go to my YouTube channel and subscribe. Right. You know, if you feel like if you feel like the content that I make is value, Yeah, I was just say, if you're curious, you're interested in that. Because think about it, by the time people watch this, they can go in the description box, hit the link, boom, go over there. You might have eight or nine videos already. Yeah, and I'm going to try and do my best at, you know, telling how much everything costs.

Because when I watch the videos, the thing that aggravates me most is they'll go out to eat and they won't tell you how much they paid for everything, which I know they don't have to. Right. You know what I mean? But I'm going to make it a point to be like, okay, because I know the gap in what we're spending here and over there is so crazy. And I think that, you know, everywhere I go, I'm like, this is how much I paid. This is how much it costs in U.S. dollars. You'll become one of those irritating people to take a photograph of their food every time they. But that would be cool.

You just pull out your phone and just do a little video of the food. Like, bro, this is what I got. I got a thing of rice. I got this. I got chicken. Oh, I'm going to do full-on restaurant reviews. Right. And then when you, if you go back and do a video, then you can show like, hey, this is what I got.

This is how much it was. Because I'm not, listen, I'm not a big drug guy. I never really have been my whole life. and I'm not really a big alcohol guy, but when it comes to food, listen, I tell you what. Like, I know I don't look like I eat a lot, but I love food.

Yeah, it eats a lot. I eat a lot, and I eat giant portions. So when I get over there, I'm going crazy on the sweets. There's so many little street vendors that they make little donuts and candies and cookies and treats. And, oh, I'm going to have a lot of fun.

Hell, who knows, I might be two, 300 pounds if I can come next year. Hey, you guys, I appreciate you watching.
