Starting point is 00:01:57 I'm working to let some girl I knew for three days ruined the rest of my life. Unless they plan on coming over here to Thailand and coming to my condo and holding me down on the ground and taking my DNA, it's never going to happen. They'll take all your money. This is insanity. This is extortion is what it is. It's extortion by the state. America's supposed to be the freest country on the planet. That's what they scream, freedom, freedom, freedom.
Starting point is 00:02:22 But if you don't fill a piece of paper out correctly, they take your freedom from you and lock you in a jail cell with murderers. Hey, you guys, you know my buddy, John Boziak. He kind of fled to Thailand. He's a digital nomad. And he's living his best life over there. But there are some other issues. Recently, in the last few years, and especially in the last few months, I've had multiple sheriffs show up at my door asking about him. That's what we're going to be discussing today. But I wanted to tell you, I didn't mention this to you, although this is not going to be shocking at all. Not yesterday. Day before yesterday, another process server. Yeah. This wasn't a cop, though.
Starting point is 00:03:10 This wasn't a cop, and it wasn't the postal service. This was just some guy knocked on the fucking door. Yep. So I'm assuming he was a process server that he maybe he worked for the post office. I don't know. I don't think so, though. He didn't, wasn't driving a post office thing, you know. but he did have a little pad and so he knocked i had this that somebody rings the doorbell i come downstairs
Starting point is 00:03:30 i open the door what's i'm like yeah what's up and at first i thought because he had the pad in his hand it was a small one and i thought you know i'm looking for a package and i was like hey what's up and then he said uh you john boziac and i was like no and he goes um he said does he live here and i went no and he said do you know where where he's at and i went Thailand and he goes really they always say this. They always go, really? And I'm like, yeah, I said, I know it sounds crazy, but yeah. And he goes, huh, he goes, hold on a second. He starts looking. Trying to find a picture to make sure you weren't me. No, I don't know. He said, I said, what's going on? He said, it doesn't really give me an option for Thailand.
Starting point is 00:04:12 He said, it gives you like 10, 10 different excuses I can put. He said, I don't know. I guess I'll just put mood. And he's like, okay. He said, thanks. I said, all right, no problem. That was it. But that's when I, uh, I remembered that. And then we, you and I talked and, you know, about doing this. Yeah. And, um, listen, ever since you went on Nanny's podcast and you said I've been running from child support, I've had a never-ending stream of absolute fucking weirdos coming on my YouTube channel and leaving crazy comments. Like what? Oh, you're running. I'm a scumbag. Fucking, I'm a deadbeat dad. I'm running from child support. I need to face my problems. I need to come back to the U.S. and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. blah. It's like, listen, I want to clear something up immediately right now before we even get into
Starting point is 00:04:58 this. Okay. I have never been ordered by a judge to pay child support my entire life. I have never been in front of a judge and been ordered to pay child support. I have never taken a paternity test to prove that I'm the father to even get me in front of a judge to take a fucking to be ordered to pay child support. Okay. So I'm not running from child support technically. Right. So, no, I'm not going to let them serve me any papers. I listen. I'm not going to let some girl I knew for three days ruined the rest of my life, period. It's not going to happen. It's not going to happen to me.
Starting point is 00:05:31 I watched my father go through that his entire life. Listen, my dad's a good guy. Never broke the law, doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, doesn't do drugs. He's not a scumbag. And he was always in jail for child support because of my mom. Okay? I'm not going to live my life like that, period. They're not going to get one single penny out of me.
Starting point is 00:05:49 I promise you that. So, all right, let's listen. Let's start at the beginning. Seriously. How many of these chicks are out there? Just one. Wait a minute. But there's other kids. You've got a kid.
Starting point is 00:06:05 But they're not trying to get me for child support or paternity test or know that shit. And the one chick, what happened with that? She's already got a bunch of kids, right? Like this is like her M.O. When I met her, she had like a two-year-old and a newborn. Then apparently she says I got. got her pregnant, which I don't believe. And then right after she said, right after she had my kid, she had another one from somebody else she just met. So it's like, it's like a, it's like a,
Starting point is 00:06:34 what do they call that? A pick farm. They're just, she's just cranking them out. It's like a chicken farm. She's just laying eggs constantly. I'm sure she doesn't work a regular job. I'm sure she's unemployed. So she goes to the state for benefits. And because the state's giving her benefits, they pursue whoever she says is the father with whatever extent of the law they can push it to. And that's what's happening to me right now. So she's getting benefits from the state, no matter what she's getting the benefits, but the state's the one who's coming after you. Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Because she gave them my name and she's collecting welfare from the state. Yes. How long has this been? And I'm the dead bee and I'm the dead bee. Right. So how long has this been going on? since 2017, 2018. Um, okay. So this was after, I mean, obviously after you got out of jail. When'd you get out of prison?
Starting point is 00:07:34 When'd you get 14 or 15? 15. I'm my 30th birthday. And then I went out to, I went to California in 2016. Me and my wife split in 2016. I met her in 2017. And then I knew her for five days, literally five days. And after the fifth day, you know what she told me? She says, I like Josh better. I want to be with Josh, my friend.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Okay. Okay. So I said, all right. I let her go with my friend and be with him. And I moved to California. And I never talked to her again. And then all of a sudden, I got sheriffs showing up at the house in California
Starting point is 00:08:11 trying to serve me paperwork for a fucking paternity test. And it's been trying to get, and they've been trying to get me ever since. I wonder if, If, you know, I wonder if she like, because obviously she's going to have sex with Josh. So, you know, probably fairly quickly. So I'm wondering if she had Josh. She's had sex with Josh while she before, because she was living with Josh when I met her.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Okay. Because he was, she's like his cousin or some shit. Yeah, exactly. Dude, it's all. Where is this? Where is this? Backwood's fucking Nebraska. All right.
Starting point is 00:08:46 Nebraska. In the middle of the cornfields. So, so, so she probably went after Josh first. Yes. And Josh took a paternity test. It's not his. You know, maybe. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Maybe he did. Maybe he didn't. I don't know. She's just trying to figure out, hey, okay, well, then it's him. And then that guy, like a Jerry Springup episode. When I lived in the small town in Nebraska, I had the nicest car in the town. I had like four cars and they were nicer than anybody else that lived in the entire city. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:18 I had the nice house. On the main strip, I had the nice house. I had the good job. So I'm probably the most responsible man she's ever come in contact with her entire life. And so that's why she's just relentlessly pursuing me is because she knows that she might be able to squeeze me for a couple dollars here or there. So unless they plan on coming over here to Thailand and coming to my condo and you're holding me down the ground and taking my DNA, it's never going to happen. it's never going to happen. So do you think that they know that you're like on YouTube?
Starting point is 00:09:57 I mean, I can't. Of course. She just followed me to date on Instagram. This morning she followed me on Instagram. So they know I'm in Thailand and there's no, there's nothing they can do about it. Let's see. Yeah, because so, okay.
Starting point is 00:10:15 So you moved in with, with me. What when what was it? 21 21 21. So just for those watching, here's how this came about is that Bozac moves in. He's doing his YouTube videos and stuff. And you weren't home or were you home? I was tattooing. I was probably at the tattoo shop.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Oh, yeah, you were tattooing. And one day I get a knock at the door. And I don't know. That wasn't the cop. No, that wasn't the cop. The first time we got to knock at the door, you were dating some girl. You ghosted her. And I wouldn't answer her phone calls.
Starting point is 00:11:02 I told her to piss off. And she sent the sheriff to the house to do a wellness check. Right. So I go and I knock on the front door one day. Knock on the door. Open the door. There's two to two, well, they were playing clothes. I'm not playing clothes.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Sorry. They were in a uniform. They were like sheriffs. And I open the door and I look and you listen, it doesn't. matter, bro. When I see, it doesn't matter if I'm doing anything wrong or not. I open the door and there's a couple of cops there. I immediately think, fuck, I'm going back. My light's over. Yeah. It's all. I'm thinking what's happening, you know, so, and I've told you this before. Like, my fear is that I've talked to some guy. I'm in their phone. As their contact, they get indicted.
Starting point is 00:11:42 And just because my name's in their phone, they add me on to the indictment. I get arrested. And I have to try and explain that, no, listen, I talk to this guy, but I don't know what he's doing. I opened the door on my first thing was fuck and he got the guy goes the cop goes um Jon Bozzie I or no he goes here's john bozique and I went no no and he goes he looked at me and he goes does he is he and he said is he and my first thought was fuck I am on federal probation and you just lied to this dude you'd better fix this and I thought fuck and before I could say anything the other cop the other cop start they started to ask if you were does he live here? And the other cop goes,
Starting point is 00:12:21 he's not in trouble. This is a wellness check. We got a phone call. That's all this is. And I went, you mean John Boziak? And they look at each other. And they go, yeah, John Boziac. And I went, yes, I said, he does live here.
Starting point is 00:12:38 And I said, what's going on? They said, well, we got a phone call from somebody who's concerned. He's not answering this woman's phone messages or responding. It's a wellness check. And I went, I said, oh yeah, I know who it is. And then I called you on the phone. You answered the phone. So it was what's your name? But that's not the only time that the cops have shown up. So then another time, not long after that, you weren't here again. And I got a knock on the door. And this time it's
Starting point is 00:13:05 like, well, we were already getting letters. You were getting letters and you'd get the letter. You'd look at it and you'd throw it away. And then one day we get, I get a knock on the door. But see, I didn't really know what that was about until I think that we got the knock on the door and I answered the door. And there was somebody who was a process servant. They go, John Boziac. And I went, no. I said, why? And he goes, is he here? And I said, no, what's up? And he goes, is he here? And he's not here. And I think he's not here. And I think he's at work. I said, I don't really, I don't know. I don't know where he works. So I don't know what the addresses or anything. It was like, because I didn't. And then I kind of started to realize, oh, wait, I better just, I don't need to answer any questions, you know? Right. And he was like, okay, okay. And he did something. He said, all right, thanks. And then he left. And then like two, three, then the letters, I think then we got more letters than a couple
Starting point is 00:14:01 months later somebody comes. Relentless. They're absolutely relentless. Well, that's when I was like, hey, bro, this guy came by and you were like, I don't live there. You don't, you know, you don't know me. I don't live there. I'm like, okay, well, they, know you live here. They're coming here. So that's not, you know, I'm not going to do that, but I'll just say you move. Sure enough, a month or so later, another fucking guy. Hey, is he here? I said, nah, bro, he just moved. Just moved. You guys came. He moved like a week later. They're like, okay, okay. And then you told me they were also coming at, where were you before this that they were coming? Was it another state you were getting? California when I was in California.
Starting point is 00:14:40 you. So the sheriff showed up to the house where I was living in California and right outside of San Francisco. And why? Because I was living in a house where there's an older gentleman who owned the house, but he was always at work. So there was a couple of guys in the house. And I told one of the guys to go downstairs and answer the door in it. The cops are asking for me, just tell him I don't live here. So he went downstairs and sure enough, they were asking for me. And he's like, no, he doesn't live. And he's like, no, he doesn't live. here anymore. The next day I moved to L.A. Right. The very next day I moved to L.A. And I lived in L.A. And then when the pandemic hit in 2020, this was 2019. When 2020, when the pandemic hit, they weren't serving shit. Like nobody was coming to, you know, give me anything at the door, no process servers or nothing like that. So after I moved from California to Phoenix, my cousin that I was living with told me that process servers were coming by the house trying to serve me paperwork. And then when I moved to Phoenix, I was a ghost. I didn't register my driver's license,
Starting point is 00:15:42 address, none of that out there when I was out there for that very reason. And I went and lived in an office space that I was using. I wasn't supposed to live there. I was using it. I rented like an office to build like a podcast studio. Right. And I just, I had like a Pouton. I was just sleeping on the Pouton. I had a little mini fridge and a microwave. And I used to go to the gym. I used to go to the gym every morning and shower and fucking, I had it going on in Phoenix. But then when I moved to, when I came to stay with you, I moved from Phoenix. So, okay, so then, let me think, let me think. So then after you had moved here, after that guy had come, the couple of them, then I got another one. Then one day, I remember the, it was the male lady, right? Like the mailman, the chick from the
Starting point is 00:16:28 male lady. She came. Same thing. No, he doesn't live here. It's been gone months. Then I want to I say, I don't know if you, you had left. You left. I had a sheriff come by after you left. Because I remember I called you. I said, bro, sheriff came by. So he came by, hey, are you John Boziak? And I was like, no, no.
Starting point is 00:16:46 I said, and he goes, what did he say? He said, does he live here? And I went, no, I said, he moved. So you know where he moved? Then I went, I go. He had a total Thailand, but okay. Well, yeah, I go Thailand. And he said, he goes, really?
Starting point is 00:17:00 The same thing, they always go, really? Like they're, but not like, they don't believe me, but they're like, really? I'm like, yeah, yeah. He goes, coming back? I go, no, never. And he goes, he said, he went, he said, okay, okay. And listen, I stopped.
Starting point is 00:17:15 I almost said, you should subscribe to his channel. But I didn't. And I remember as soon as he left, I turned around to Jess. And I was, I go, man, I almost told him to subscribe. Because she came up behind me when I'm like, no, Thailand, never come back. Yeah. And I turned, when I closed the door, I turned around to her. And she was like, she said,
Starting point is 00:17:34 said she started laughing. She was just like thinking her head. And I said, I told her I almost fucking told him to subscribe to his channel. The girl, the girl followed me this morning on Instagram. The link is in my bio to my YouTube channel. Right. Oh yeah. She's got to figure it out.
Starting point is 00:17:48 They know, they know where I'm at now so they can piss off. Because what's the state in Nebraska going to extradite me from fucking Thailand for a paternity test? Get though. Come on. Listen, if that, something like that would have happened. happen, listen, they would play hell with me. I would be the most unruly person they have ever
Starting point is 00:18:10 dealt with their entire life. I guarantee you that. They would have me in one of those Hannibal Lecter masks and strapped into a chair wheeling me into the courtroom. I guarantee you that. And you, yeah, you've already got a passport. Like, I don't know. There's nothing they can do. They can't even put a warrant up for my arrest. This is civil. They're trying to serve me paperwork.
Starting point is 00:18:34 They can't put a warrant out for my arrest. I'm not going to jail. I haven't broken any laws. Because I remember after the cop came, we were like, well, this is getting serious. And I called one of the lawyers that I've had on here. What was his name? Mike was his main. I forget his name.
Starting point is 00:18:53 God, he was hilarious too. But I called him and got him on the phone and said, listen, let me explain the situation. And I laid it down very clearly. Here's what's going on. And laid it out. He said, yeah, he said, there's nothing. He said, because we were concerned, like, can they get a warrant? And he was like, no.
Starting point is 00:19:08 He said, look, they could. He said, if he had taken the test, it said he was, it was his. And he said, and the money accrued, then they, he said, some states would take the extra step of getting a warrant to try and throw you in jail. He said, to get him to start paying. He said, but they can't even, if they can't prove paternity, then he said, yeah, that's not going to happen. They're not going to be able to get a warrant.
Starting point is 00:19:30 No. He said at this point, he's at this point, they can't even really place. do anything other until they can prove it. They can't put it on his credit. They can't, because they can't garnish his wages. They can't get a judgment. Nothing. He said they have to be able to get paternity. Yeah. Listen, I've already gone through this with one kid before. Okay. When I was 17 years old, I got this girl pregnant. And then because I was 17, her parents didn't want me to have anything to do with the child. They wouldn't let me come sear. They wouldn't let me do anything because I was 17. I was on the street. I was getting high
Starting point is 00:20:00 every day. You know what I mean? Like I wasn't the most responsible human being on the planet. So I don't blame them. I'm not, you know, faulting them for that, but I just, and then years later, they tried to hit me, they tried to do the same thing to me. They tried to, listen, everywhere I moved to, they were sending child support paperwork, or you got to pay child support, you got to come to court, you got to take a fraternity test.
Starting point is 00:20:20 She's 23 now. I dodge that bullet. That paperwork stopped fucking six or seven years ago when she turned 18. So it's just one of those things. It's just one of those things. like, you know, be careful who you stick your penis into because it could ruin the rest of your life. Unfortunately. So if they did, if they did grab you prove this and you had a job in the US, they can what? They can garnish your wages. Well, then I'd be fucked, buddy. I'd be proper fucked. They could suspend my driver's license. They could garnish my wages. They could take my passport. They could do, there's a lot of options that they have at their disposal that
Starting point is 00:20:57 to completely ruin someone's life over child support. I think it's insane. I think the whole thing needs to be overall because the thing, they completely ruin your life. They'll take all your money. Like I've seen people's checks before and after child support. I'm like, oh my God, this is insanity. This is extortion is what it is.
Starting point is 00:21:17 It's extortion by the state. The state's taking your money. So what they're taking out of your check every month for child support doesn't go to her. Like 60% of it goes to the state. state and they just take it and add it to their budget for whatever, for whatever they're spending the money on. And then the little, little tiny bit goes to the, to the woman who's actually, you know, getting support for the kid. It's a, it's a complete racket. And it's extortion by the United States government. The U.S. is the state. But I, I, so when I was in
Starting point is 00:21:49 Florida, I had a broker that was on child support. And I, I don't know, he said, he's like, oh, I don't know what her problem is. I pay. But I used to get letters every month saying, take money, you know, X amount of dollars out of his. And it was like 40%. And I was like, it's 40% here. Luckily, he was 1099. So I was like, but still, so it's like 40% of your gross. And I was like, then you have to pay about 20, 25% on what's remained.
Starting point is 00:22:15 Not on what's remaining on the gross still. So I'm like, after taxes, you're getting about 35 to 40% of every dollar you make. you're getting like 35 cents. Yeah. And listen, you know, like I said, I watched my dad go through it, my whole life. And it's like America's supposed to be the freest country on the planet. That's what they scream, freedom, freedom, freedom. But if you don't fill a piece of paper out correctly, they take your fucking freedom from you
Starting point is 00:22:44 and lock you in a jail cell with murderers. What is that? That's why I'm not there anymore, buddy. Okay. I'm not there anymore. That's why I left because, you know what? complain about it and they never do anything and they never leave. But guess what? I have the right to complain now because I actually did something about it and I left. So you researched going to
Starting point is 00:23:07 Thailand for a while. And by the way, Thailand has extradition. Thailand and the United States have had a great relationship for like 150 years. I just read a plaque the other day on the side of the highway outside the U.S. consulate said Thailand and the United States partners for over 150 years or whatever. So they do have extradition. It's not like I'm here fucking hiding from anything. Everybody's like, oh, you're hiding. You're out of running from the law. A bunch of retards. Complete and total retards. If I was hiding from anything, they would just come over here and get me. I had to register this address with the Thai immigration with the government. So the government knows exactly where I live. To even get a visa, I had to register this address. I had to fill out something called a TM30, which I had to register with the Thai government.
Starting point is 00:23:53 I'm a digital nomad. That's exactly what I am. Okay, I'm a travel vlogger. Okay, and that's how I'm living my life now. What happened the other night? The other night we were going to do one of these, and you said you were with the guys from One Night in Bangkok? That was my birthday.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Yeah, One Night, so the One Night in Bangkok podcast here, there's a gentleman by the name of Eric. He's from Boston. I think he's a little bit younger than me. He's in his third late, like mid to late 30s. Might even be his late 20s. I don't know. runs a really cool podcast here with a, like,
Starting point is 00:24:26 I think the name is awesome one night in Bangkok. Yeah. Like you cannot, you cannot get a cooler name than that from a podcast. Literally here in Bangkok. I think it's awesome. When you were here, you were pissed because it was taken.
Starting point is 00:24:37 You were like, you know what would be a good name? And you were like, hold on. And you were like, fuck. That's how I found the podcast. Right.
Starting point is 00:24:44 Because I was like, dude, I want that. That's what I was going to name my podcast when I moved here. And then when I moved here, he's seen me on your podcast. And he was like, oh,
Starting point is 00:24:52 I've seen you on Matt's. talking about, he's seen the episode where I was talking about moving to Thailand. And once he figured out I was here, he was like, he hit me up and I went and did the podcast. And, you know, I would like to think that me and him are pretty good friends now, you know, whenever I need anything or advice, whatever I hit him up. And he invited me out on my birthday because he, him and his co-host, um, they run like a, they do like a pub crawl. And, but it's not pubs. It's like rooftop bars and like, you know, nightclubs and shit. And they had something worked out with. each club or bar owner where they go where you know they're like okay i'm going to bring 15 people
Starting point is 00:25:27 here tonight and then we're going to need a table and bottle service and you know um no cover for all these people because we're going to come here we're going to buy drinks you know all that this that and the just so happens one of their event nights fell on my birthday you know so they invited me out and uh yeah they invited me out and i went out and we did like four or five different clubs a rooftop bar and then they take me to this big giant club and they got sparklers coming out with bottles service for me, just for me, with a thing with the chicks holding up the happy birthday thing with the sparklers going off the top. And I got to wear a birthday sash. This has happy birthday. Okay. And I got to dance on the stage with all the girls. And it was fun. Like, it's not my
Starting point is 00:26:07 scene. You know what I mean? Like I stopped going to clubs and stuff when I was like in my 20s. But, you know, I figured from my 40th, it would be, it would be fun. And it was. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. I didn't make it home to like five in the morning. Did you video it? I did, yeah, I got, I went on, I did live. I did a live stream while I was at the club and I got a bunch of video and stuff, yeah. I've mentioned it to Jess once or twice. I'm like, we ought to think about going out there and she, and she's like 30 hours on a plane. It's not 30 hours. How many hours is it? It's three flights. Okay, you're going to have to fly from Tampa to Atlanta. And Atlanta, from the Atlanta to South Korea is 16 hours. Oh, my God. Yeah, but if you get business class, they got beds. And in a big TV, you can lay down in bed and watch the big TV.
Starting point is 00:26:56 I was stuck in coach next to an old Korean lady that raw dog, a 16-hour flight. I don't know how she did it. No headphones. She didn't turn on her TV once. I didn't see her on her phone. She was like this with a blanket up to here for 16 hours. I couldn't believe it. How much is that flight?
Starting point is 00:27:16 I paid $700. No, from Tampa. all the way, all the flights is $700 to get here. I paid $780 for my flight to get here. You paid a year in advance. I bought my, I bought my plane ticket the day I got my passport. So I got my passport in what, October.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Oh, okay. September, October. No, I had to be, I think it was probably September. Because it was. It was still warm out. It was still like summertime. So yeah, I got my, like, yeah, so September and I flew out in December. Okay, three months.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Three months into that. fans, yeah. Well, wait a minute. You went to Atlanta. Then it was to, then there's another flight. To South Korea. And then once you get to South Korea, there's another flight from South Korea to Bangkok.
Starting point is 00:28:09 And that flight's like five hours. Fuck. But listen, once you've been on a plane for 16 hours, that five-hour flight ain't shit. And the 16-hour flight, you're sleeping. You're going to sleep for eight, eight, nine hours of the flight. And they serve you. meals. Okay? That comes with the flight. They serve you three meals. Like every two hours,
Starting point is 00:28:28 they're waking you up and they're bringing you like a legitimate meal, not like some fucking crackers and a little bottle of water. You know what I mean? Like these are legitimate like chicken and rice with like a soup and a side salad. Like it's a legitimate meal. And there's TVs. You can watch TV the entire time watch movies. The seats are super comfortable. We've been on international flights before. These aren't like the little planes, the little domestic planes you get on. It's not spirit. It's not Spirit Airlines. I flew Korean Air.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Listen, every time I go Spirit, I try and get the upgrade for the front space. I think on the way, I just went to Vegas and on the way back, I was sitting there and whatever, playing with my phone. And all of a sudden they go, oh, we have
Starting point is 00:29:17 three seats upgrade. Boom. I jumped up. went fucking straight there, boom, how much? Okay, I'll take it. Because on the way to Vegas, I didn't. You know, I got the, the exit row thing, which is better because you have more leg room. I'm satisfied with exit row as long as I get the window seat. Yeah, no, I didn't. I had the aisle seat.
Starting point is 00:29:38 But so I did exit row and the seat beside me, between me and the other guy was empty. So that's great. You can put your shit there. But this time, and I was just like, but it's still uncomfortable. So, and when I walked in, you know, when you're going to the place, plane you look down you see the big seats i thought man i'm that when i come back i'm getting that seat and sure enough i did and when we booked the tickets that every time you book the tickets by the way it almost always says it's full the front seats are full yeah and then they're like oh upgrades
Starting point is 00:30:10 we yeah i think there's a racket there yeah it's bullshit i think they they they book them online so nobody can book them and then they they jack up the price a little bit and make you pay like $100 for the seat when you're already on the plane and you're already in that little seat and there you're like, fuck it, I'll just spend the money and get the seat. You know what I mean? Like it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sales tactic, I think. I went to Vegas recently and I'm going to L.A. to do some guy's podcast called Greg the lawyer. He's got like 10 million subs. Everybody he put it out gets three or four million. The problem is they're all like 15 minutes. 22 minutes, eight minute.
Starting point is 00:30:52 So he's trying to do long-form content now. Is it like he just doesn't care or he just doesn't get it? No, no. I think what's happening is he realizes like most people, you get people, you know, the 20-minute videos get more than a two-hour video or an hour video. They're going to get more views. And he's putting out so many.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Gotcha. He's trying to make up for it. But now, I guess, the person I talked to said he's trying to, he's going to. I would think by time you get to 10 million subs, you'd have that figured out that you need to put out longer form content to make more money. But he's figuring. Oh, look, listen, he's got multi. He's got a production.
Starting point is 00:31:27 Like, this guy's not. Oh, he's not pressed. He's not pressed. He's not pressed about that YouTube check. He's picking ass. And he's a guy. He's a lawyer. No.
Starting point is 00:31:37 So, but he's, I think obviously he's starting to figure out. Or maybe he's going to start a channel. I don't know. They're going to fly me out for, for, like, I'm literally flying out one night, doing the thing, flying back the next day. That's it. So whatever. that's, you know, 24 hours.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Plus, I'll probably see if I can meet with the producer that I'm working with on my story. Never did get anything. Visit BetMGM Casino and check out the newest exclusive.

Being back, by the way, that from that, from our, you know, we won't name the name, but I never got anything back from that. Neither did Tom. So we'll see what happens. Tom said we're probably too old for their demographic. Oh, I had a meeting with her this morning.
Starting point is 00:32:46 Oh, yeah. She told me that she likes my story the best out of everybody. She's interviewed. And then after we did it, so I had to tell her my story and she recorded it. And then she said that to like the people who make the decisions. Right. So I did like a condensed version and I hit all of the bullet points. And I was like, you know, if there's anything you want me to expand on or if there's anything, you know, you want me to elaborate on, expand on, just let me know.
Starting point is 00:33:13 And then at the very end, I hit her with the sizzle reel. So I shot her. I shot her the sizzle after and she's going to send that with my, my interview to whoever. But she says that, and listen, she says that they start recording, they start recording 28th of this month. Yeah, that's how this was. It was like immediately, I talked to them a week ago and then they're like, okay, when can we do it next week? It's like, so if anybody's listening that doesn't understand what we're talking about is that, you know, when you do videos and you do a lot of videos and you, for crime stories, you tend to get approached by producing. producers or whatever, executive proves, whatever, they all have different names, talent agents,
Starting point is 00:33:52 whatever, you know, that they, you start getting these emails saying, hey, we're, we're producing, we're casting, we're casting for a certain show right now. Are you interested? And then they interview you, you tell your story. They take that recording. They send that off to production. And production makes the final decision on whether or not they want you to be part of the, the whatever they're filming.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Right. So I have an offer right now. Obviously, I can't say anything because I signed an NDA. I can't even say, I can't even say who it's for. No, it's pretty big. Anyway. Wait, I'll talk to you after we. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:31 Oh, listen, here's so disappointed. Listen, when I heard more about it, I was like, fuck, bro. Like usually I can't give a shit. You know, usually I get these things. Listen, I can't tell you how many I've gotten. I just haven't filled out. Like, I mean to fill them out. I'm not being a jerk, but I'm like, oh, I'll do it later, I'll do it later.
Starting point is 00:34:48 And then I forget about it. And then a month and a half goes by and I'm scrolling through. I'm deleting emails and I'll see it. I'm like, oh, I'll never fill that out. Maybe a producer will contact me. And I get them all the time saying, well, I used to saying that they want to do a documentary on me. And I'll set up a meeting with the production company and I'll do the producer thing. I'll talk to the producer.
Starting point is 00:35:08 And then he'll say, well, we got to do another, let's do another one with my team. And then you do one with three or four people. and then it drags on and drags on. Maybe they come back and they want you to sign something and so they can start pitching it. And that's typically how it goes. Now, if it's a, and if they're like an episode, let's say it's a series like My True Crime Story is a series that was on VH1.
Starting point is 00:35:30 If it's some kind of a series, that usually happens the same way, but it happens much quicker. Within weeks, they come back, they go, okay, we definitely want you. Then we want to fly you out to New York, whatever it is. Just like your thing, you got flown to, what was the one you did, did recently?
Starting point is 00:35:44 for the Discovery Channel. They flew me out to LA for that. It was um, hustlers, gamblers and crooks for hustler, gamblers and thieves or something like that. Yes.
Starting point is 00:35:56 And they're on their second. I think this is their second. Second season. I was going to email her this morning because she said it was supposed to come out. The episode was supposed to come out this month, but I haven't gotten any emails or anything letting me know. Oh yeah, brother. When they're done with you,
Starting point is 00:36:08 they can care of last. They don't give a shirt. You'll catch it on TV. They didn't even tell me it was coming out. Yeah, somebody will hit me up on the comments. You're like, bro, I just watch your episode of whatever. You know, you're like, oh, is that out? So I've done, you know, I've done a few of them.
Starting point is 00:36:23 They flew you out. They also got Ted. I'm sorry, not Ted. They got Jeff Turner. Jeff Turner, yep. And what's the guy with the cars? The kind of big dude with the beard. AD?
Starting point is 00:36:38 What's his name? JD. JD. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. JD went out and did it. So, I mean, this happens, like this happens, you know, all the time in Boziac. And it's funny because what happens is they must bruise the true crime channels because they hit up. I asked her how she found me and she said it was through TikTok.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Through TikTok, okay. And I told you it was that 11 million view TikTok I got floating around on the internet. It's probably fucking 12, 13 million views by now, which is insane. The one that's on my shorts channel, it's at 12 million. 12 million views. That's bananas, dude. 12 million people have looked at this base. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:22 There's other ones. That's the highest. There's other ones that are 6 million, 7 million, 2 million. I was talking to a girl on a dating app over here, and she's like, are you on TikTok? And she sent me a screenshot of one of those 11 million view TikTok, but it was all in tie. And she's saying, she's like, is this you? I'm like, yeah, that's me. Dude, it was so crazy.
Starting point is 00:37:42 Yeah, yeah. So it's making its rounds over here, too. And the amount of times I get recognized here in Thailand is, it's mind-boggling. Like, people stop me at the mall. They're like, hey, are you that Bozziak fellow from YouTube? And then I was sitting at a bar with my friend the other day and, like, you can sit, like, right in, like, the streets right here. Like, here's the top and you can look at everybody going by on the street. And there's two guys walking by.
Starting point is 00:38:06 And one guy glanced at me. And then he looked at the second time. And I did like this at him. He was like, I was just watching one of your videos yesterday. So it's like I'm in the algorithm over here. Like people that are here in Thailand are watching my content, which is pretty cool. Yeah, that's super cool. It's especially cool if somebody's with you.
Starting point is 00:38:22 Like, listen, if I'm walking to the mall and somebody sees me by myself, they're like, oh, my God. Hey, Matt Cox. I'm like, hey, what's up? And I'm thinking that's useless. It only, it only feels good if like my wife is with me or a buddy is with me. Then it's like, because then your buddy's like, bro, that guy, right? That's nothing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:38 Yeah, it's fun. It's fun. What are you doing? What happened with the Russian? I'm sorry, he's not, is he Ukrainian? No, he's from Belarus, but you can say he's a Russian. So we're still putting it together. I'm waiting on him. You know, I messes back and forth with him all the time. Basically what it is is we're trying to, because I have to fly down to Phuket, which is like, it's like an hour and a half flight from Bangkok, south, it's in the south of Thailand. and then, you know, like I don't live there. So, and he wants this to be the English channel because he only does YouTube in Russian. He only speaks Russian.
Starting point is 00:39:14 He doesn't think his English is that good, but it is. But it's with a real thick Russian accent. Right. So he wants me to run, he wants me to lead the interviews because he wants to interview English speaking, Carter's, you know, criminals, scam artists, whatever. But what it is is we want to get like a whole week's scheduled. like back to back to back to back to back and then once we get all of the guests scheduled i'll fly down we'll get in the studio we'll knock out all of the interviews and then i'll just fly back
Starting point is 00:39:43 up here so that's that's kind of what's going on right now that's where we're at we're just trying to get all of the interviews and everything's scheduled with the clip channel because you're running the clips channel right so my my clips channel if anybody wants to join go to because it's not like it's it's got like 8000 views or 85 or 8000 driving so almost 9000 now yeah yeah yeah so So, but, you know, it's funny because like the, the shorts channel took off. Like, we'll do stuff something and it'll take off. Some things take off and some things, I mean, are dead. We have a Spanish channel, which is hilarious.
Starting point is 00:40:18 But it's got no view. I mean, it's nothing. It's got like 400 fucking subscribers. Like it, nobody watches it. Same thing with we started a Facebook page and, you know, hired a company, they pumped some money into it. They got a bunch of followers. and, you know, one, one little post would take off, and then the other ones are getting like 300 views.
Starting point is 00:40:42 And the other one suddenly one 30,000 views. And then it just never. I was contacted by a gentleman by the name of Zach. He said he contacted Kobe. He said, I don't know if he's talked to Kobe or he's talked to you about setting up like a Facebook thing. It might. Okay, so look, jelly roll or jelly roll? Jelly.
Starting point is 00:41:03 Jelly Smack had run on. And we got to a point where we're like, listen, we're not making any money here. Yeah. So we got to the point where, you know, you have to sign a contract. Yeah. So when our contract was coming up, we were like, look, we won out of the contract. So then we really didn't do anything with it. We were planning on it.
Starting point is 00:41:18 But, you know, Colby's got so much stuff on his plate. Yeah. After a couple of months, somebody contacted me and I sent them to him. And then he came back. He said, look, I had a meeting with those people. They said they want to run the Facebook page. It was basically the same kind of thing. Yeah. Yeah. Somebody contacted me and I don't have a Facebook page. So I just set up a Facebook page because it can't hurt. It can't hurt anything. No, listen, these guys are making it work. Yeah. The guys that before weren't doing, we never made any money. These guys are making money. They're not making a lot of money. They just started out. But it's starting to make a little bit of money. It may be the same person that contacted me and wants to do mine. Possibly. Because the guys that are helping are running our shorts channel.
Starting point is 00:42:03 have reached out to several true crime channels, which have then, like Johnny Mitchell contacted me and said, hey, who are these guys? They're contacting me. They use you as a reference. How are they doing? I was like, bro, they're amazing. They're doing great.
Starting point is 00:42:17 Yeah. But they're strictly true crime. Right. Like, they're not really doing anybody else's channel. In my channel is kind of difficult because my content's all over the place. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, I don't do, I don't just do interviews.
Starting point is 00:42:28 I don't just do vlogging. Sometimes I do, you know, just the talking head stuff in front of the camera. other times I'm running around all over the place filming stuff. You know, other times I'm interviewing people, which I have a Patreon now. And I just do like, so I just interview people with my GoPro. Like I'll have it on them and I'll ask no question. They'll talk and then I'll spin it back around and I'll talk and then I'll interview them. And that's how I've been conducting interviews for my Patreon now.
Starting point is 00:42:55 You know, until I get like a legitimate podcast studio to actually film a podcast videos with, that's what I have to do. yeah i was going to say if you do it in your um in your apartment like you got to get rid of that echo you're going to have to throw something oh yeah no it's got high ceilings it's got super high ceilings so yeah um we're going to one more well because i had remember my my first apartment yeah and i had i threw a rug down i had yeah it's wood floors here because there's no like rugs or anything so yeah yeah it's it was still even when then it was it was it was was was But honestly, I can run an office space here for about $100 a month, $120 a month for like, you know.
Starting point is 00:43:38 Right. And like a nice space in like an office building somewhere here. So it's so cheap here, man. You guys got to come check it out. You and Jess got to come for like a week or something. Yeah, I told Jess that like, listen, depending on how the economy goes and how things are in a year from now when my lease is up, I would say, listen, we may just buy a regular house. Yeah. And rent a studio.
Starting point is 00:43:59 You know, I'll just rent a place. because I can't keep doing this out of the house. So here's what I was going to say is that the, like what the Russian guy is saying, what's his name? Sergei Pavlovich. So I like the idea of that. That's what I think that the channel,
Starting point is 00:44:14 that the Clips channel, since what we're doing is we're taking, so for anybody, we're taking the long form content and we're clipping it up into maybe three or four different little, you know, you take a two hour, two hour piece of content and you say,
Starting point is 00:44:28 okay, here's a story, here's a story. I hear this one's 22 minutes. This one's 17 minutes. This is 11 minutes. And we're cutting those up into three or four sections, putting a thumbnail on them and posting them on the clips channel. So what I'm suggesting is from now on we just do scammers.
Starting point is 00:44:43 You know, scammers fraud. Right. Right. Because those are the ones that are getting, those are the ones that are getting views. Yes. If you go back and look through the whole channel, like those tend to be the ones that are being views.
Starting point is 00:44:54 The ones with the ones with six, the ones with Zach, the ones with, you know, the other ones, those are the ones getting abused. So I think it's time to kind of tweak it a little bit now and start going full on, just stammer's and what have you. And listen, all black guys. No. So why not? We'll call it black clips. So who I interviewed two other scammers, also black guys.
Starting point is 00:45:21 But great stories. Oh, you know who else did well on that channel was Sydney. This guy, Sydney that I interviewed who, but it was a scam too. the Nike scam. Yeah, I like Sydney. I don't even know the guy, because I edited all those shorts and I edited the clips for him. I like that guy.
Starting point is 00:45:39 Yeah, everybody loves him. He's a likable guy. He's just, you know, like he's like, he's just got that some kind of aura about him. The way he speaks, he's just like,
Starting point is 00:45:46 he's a big teddy bear. Like, he's just a good guy. Yeah, he's mentioned, hey, if you want me to come back and do another video, I was like,
Starting point is 00:45:53 you know, he said, I got a bunch of other stories. Yeah, I don't know, he would probably be another good one to have back on, yeah. So yeah, I think what I'm going to do is send you these additional videos and we'll just start cutting those up.
Starting point is 00:46:09 And then maybe not put them, maybe not because you've been releasing them where it's like you'll take one video and you release one clip after another clip. Like maybe stagger them like one of Zach, one of Sydney. Because if you don't like that person. Yeah. And for the next three days, all it is is that person. you're not going to watch the channel. Right. So rotate them, you know, rotate this person, that person, this person, that person.
Starting point is 00:46:36 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, other than that, I think that's probably, because somehow or another, we got to get that channel up and running, get some more subscribers. Yeah, well, yeah, well, you know, I don't really, um, all I do is upload it and then I don't really do anything with it. So I'm not answering the comments. I'm not, you know what I mean? Like, so I think I should probably be answering comments, liking things, responding,
Starting point is 00:46:58 Because that shows YouTube that the channel is active and somebody's interacting with the algorithm with the people who are interacting with the video. Can you answer as, like right now, I think you're listed as an editor or a manager or something. When you answer, it's not answering as me, is it? Can you answer as that person? We have to check that because if you could answer
Starting point is 00:47:25 as John Mosiac or as whatever, manager, editor or something. Administrator, yeah, Page administrator. Yeah. Because, like, I've been pretty good. Like, I don't, I haven't ever had anybody answer as me.
Starting point is 00:47:36 People have made, people have made YouTube channels as me and answered people. But I've not, like, Colby doesn't go out and answer people as me. Yeah, yeah. But it'd be cool if, like, you know, because you're running it. So,
Starting point is 00:47:50 how's your, and how's your channel? My channel's doing well, man. I'm almost as 16,000 subscribers. I'm gaining about 1,500 subscribers every month. Last month I had 160,000 views on the channel. I do a live stream pretty much every other day. Every time I do a live stream,
Starting point is 00:48:09 I get between 10,000 and 30,000 views on the live stream and like 200 subscribers every time. People donate. My channel is starting to make, you know, I think it made like 500 bucks last month. I'm getting that checked like 500 bucks this month from YouTube. So that's the most money I've ever made from my YouTube channel, you know? Um, that's only been, like a month or so. Like, you've only been doing this. Two months. Two months. That's all it took was two months. And so because before I, before December, I didn't put any content up for a year. Right. So I really only been making videos since like December. And here we are in February. You know, and I got my Patreon, which is doing good. I got like 17 Patreon subscribers right now paying $10 each. Uh, I have my merch store that I just launched last week. Super professional Spotify. Uh, great. Uh, great. Uh,
Starting point is 00:48:57 great t-shirt designs. So, and I've already got, I've already sold five or seven, I already had like five or six sales for my t-shirts. So, and oh, dig this.
Starting point is 00:49:07 I found a place. The t-shirts were cool. They were cool. Like, when I saw them, I was fucking immediately jealous. Like, I was like,
Starting point is 00:49:13 fuck. Like, how did that, like, those are like super, remember the guy that was going to sue me? Yeah. Fucking not suing me.
Starting point is 00:49:22 Like, those are better than that. Those are way better. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, his are good, too.
Starting point is 00:49:26 His are good. I just figured. it out. I watched a tutorial on YouTube on somebody who had a merch store and they were shown this is how you design these. This is the resources. This is the website you go to to download the free PNG. I forget what they're called. It's like
Starting point is 00:49:41 some kind of clip art. And that's what I use is the main image for my t-shirt design are these clip art, free clip art images. And then I just downloaded font packs from the internet and then I just throw every
Starting point is 00:49:57 thing into Photoshop, I throw the clip art in and then I just play with the font. I can bend it. I can change the color. I can do a gradient on the font. I can add little splashes in the background, you know, whatever. And yeah, they're awesome. They're selling. The fucking t-shirts are actually selling. But dig this. There's a place right down the street from here, like a mall. It's called Fortune Town, which it's not really, it's a mall, but it's more of like a business complex and they like sell like electronics and other. But on the fourth floor, there's a place that does screen printing t-shirts. What's that?
Starting point is 00:50:30 Like real screen printing? They do both. So they do heat press and they do screen printing. I haven't made it. I haven't had to make any screens yet because I want to see which designs do the best. And then I'm going to pick the best one, like a top selling design. And then I'm going to go and I'm going to have the screens made so that they can do the screen. But like literally 100, 200 feet down from the from the t-shirt place is the place where
Starting point is 00:50:52 that mails everything out. It's like the like a almost, it's a, it's a, almost like a UPS store, but they don't call on UPS stores here. Right. It's just like a random company name and they do like shipping. They do they do domestic and they do global. So I literally, I send the guy, the PNG file and the size shirt I want. He sends me a mock up that like an hour later to show me exactly where he's going to put
Starting point is 00:51:16 it on the shirt, where it's going to look like. He makes the shirt. I show up. I pick the shirt up from him. I walk down a couple stalls and I mail it out. So it's like I got the whole, I got the whole. I got the whole thing streamlined. What does it cost to mail it somewhere to the United States?
Starting point is 00:51:32 So I charge shipping. I do UPS international. So it's like, I don't know, like nine bucks or something like that. But when you go to shipping, when you go to checkout, you can pick which option of shipping you want. And then it just, it calculates by your zip code and charges you shipping. So I don't even pay shipping. The customer pays shipping. And for anything domestic here in Thailand, I ship it for free.
Starting point is 00:52:00 I offer free shipping because I shipped a t-shirt the other day here in Thailand. And it was like 22 bought to ship it, which is less than a dollar. It was like 80 cents to ship my t-shirt here in Thailand. So I don't even charge shipping here in Thailand. I only charge for international. Yeah. We'll have to have Colby insert the commercial you sent. Oh.
Starting point is 00:52:21 Oh, I forgot I made that. I haven't even put that out. Are you serious? I haven't even put it out. Because I didn't like the audio. I thought the audio was, because I don't have a microphone, so I recorded the audio on the audio recorder on my iPhone. And then I just kind of made the slideshow and I added the audio.
Starting point is 00:52:39 And I tried to tweak the audio a little bit to make it sound better, but I haven't even put it out. I want to make a better one. But no, he can cut that in. Yeah, absolutely. Anything to get me some more sales. All right, everyone. All right, everyone.
Starting point is 00:52:52 You asked for it. So now you got it. The official John Bowman. I've read all of your messages and I've listened to your comments asking when I was going to drop some merch. Well, guess what? The wait is over. I've put together a collection of bold, bright, and straight up fire designs inspired by my own personal likes and style. Whether you're a day one supporter or just found the channel, I made sure there's a little something for everyone, including the gays.
Starting point is 00:53:18 I got you covered too because let's be real. The gays love boziac. So if you want to support the channel, rep the brand, or just flex some dope teas. Hit the link in the description and grab yours today. This is a limited run. Don't sleep on it. Once they're gone, they're gone. Listen.
Starting point is 00:53:37 Not bad, right? Not bad. I just did that in my free porn. I'm fucking around here in the kitchen. I don't think the audio was bad. There's a few point. Well, I know because I recorded it, so I'm going to notice it. And other people might not.
Starting point is 00:53:50 But there was a few times where it spiked and it crackled. and I couldn't fix it in post. The fact that you laugh when you say the gays. I could. I tried to record it three times and I couldn't not laugh at that point. The laugh, that's what makes it. It's funny. Like, it's perfect for you to say that.
Starting point is 00:54:10 Because the days always come on my live. For whatever reason, when gay men are flipping through their live streams and they see me, they have to stop and they have to tell me how good I look. And they have to ask me how many inches. And all this other... Go out. Show it to us. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:26 Whip it out! Whip it out! I bet Bozy Axe hung. Just stupid comments, dude. It's just like, what the hell? So, you know what? You guys love me? Buy my goddamn t-shirts.
Starting point is 00:54:37 And I got something for you. I got something for everybody. I like that the main design is on the back. And then you have the little, just a small design here. I hadn't thought about that. Yeah, so I put the big, and I just, it's the same design. I just shrunk it down and put it. Because, you know, I always see the t-shirts with the little design here and nothing on the back.
Starting point is 00:54:58 And I'm like, why not just put the fucking the big design on the back or and then had the little one on the front or put the big design on the front and have nothing on the back? You know, I mean, you saw the one I did was we had my emblem here. Listen, but I can't wear it. Like I thought about starting to wear them. Like, I thought about doing that. Like, I want to do one. What I want to do is I want to find a local, a local screen. screen printer that I can go to buy the shirts myself because my problem is a lot of the shirts
Starting point is 00:55:28 I don't like although the guy that made them in California for me they're cotton all of those print on demand companies dude I don't every time I've ever done a merch store through the print on demand companies it was straight garbage like people get it and they would send me like look and this is not so it's like and that's why I like here because I can go I see I can put my hands on the shirts I can see their operation I can see what printers are using and you know so it was Yeah. Yeah, that's the problem is that everybody's like, you got to do merch. Yeah, I know, but the merch that I've been doing, and I took it down.
Starting point is 00:56:00 It just sucks. I'm not going to wear the shirt myself. The shirts don't fit good. Yeah. I don't like them. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it.
Starting point is 00:56:06 I'm not going to do it. Which maybe it's stupid. Maybe I should just say, ah, fuck these guys. Let them, you know, they can get what they get. But that's bullshit. Like, I don't want to sell you something I wouldn't wear. So I just had some shirts made in there. They were the hot prints.
Starting point is 00:56:23 And dude, they're not that bad. Like, they are fucking, like, the quality of the image, it's really good. Now, I don't know how they're going to hold up after 100 washes and 100 dries. You know what I mean? They might just look more broken in, but I mean, that's yet, we've yet to, you know, reach that point. But I mean, as far as the initial product, when I get my hands out, and I'm like, oh, my God. Like, I was surprised. I didn't think they were going to be that nice because, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:56:47 Because, like, I gave them the design for, like, a 300 DPI. So I gave them the right, you know. So their printers over there were really, really good. At least where I'm getting them done now. I was, when I went to, when I looked at the T-shirts, I was like, oh, ho, ho, ho. These are nice. So there's a guy in California that actually did screen prints. Huge company does screen prints.
Starting point is 00:57:06 Made some samples. You saw the samples. I like the shirt. I like the samples. I like everything. Jess and I even made a video about it. Sorry to interrupt the video, you guys. But we just came up with these really cool t-shirt designs.
Starting point is 00:57:20 we're opening up a store. We're going to have a bunch of stuff on it. If you're interested, go in the description box and click on the link to buy one. Right. I like everything about it. Here's the problem. When I turned around, I said, okay, bro, listen, I'm going to, I want to buy them and I want to start a Shopify store. And that way, when somebody orders them, they order them from me.
Starting point is 00:57:38 I can mail them out myself. Their minimum order for screen prints is a thousand shirts. That's probably, what, two grand? Yeah, I'm not going to. No, two grand, a thousand shirts. They're like 12 bucks a shirt. It's $12,000. I'm not spending $1,000.
Starting point is 00:57:57 I might sell five fucking shirts a month. I'll have them forever. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They'll deteriorate in the box. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, the bugs will get to them. Yeah. Yeah, that's, and I was trying to figure that whole thing out over here.
Starting point is 00:58:12 And luckily, Thailand is like, especially Bangkok, there's so many little places, like screen printers and t-shirt designs. And there's just, there's such an abundance. of little places like that I can go to here. So yeah, I see I need to make, I need somebody local that does screen printing that I can bring the, I'll just buy the fucking shirts, buy them,
Starting point is 00:58:29 bring them to him. He screen prints them. I put them on a rack. I set up my store and then I want to sell other stuff on the store. Like I want to have different design shirts just like you. I may just go to your place. And because, but I want it,
Starting point is 00:58:41 but I do like some of the designs I came out with. So go to that. Well, see, but I don't know. I think probably I've got some good design. So go with that. put a, make a store, and then I want to sell other silly stuff on their handcuffs, you know, yeah, yeah, silly stuff, you know, caution tape, you know, some silly stuff that people buy.
Starting point is 00:58:58 Whatever, signature, like I'll do stuff like you did with the dollar bills, you know, I'll have a dollar, maybe I'll sign a dollar. Oh, yeah, I forgot about those. Those would be quick. I should get back into doing those and put them on my Shopify. Oh, also on my Shopify, I'm doing snack boxes. So like Korean snacks, Japan, Thailand snacks, you know, sodas and stuff that you can't get in the United States. I'm putting all, I'm packaging all those in boxes and selling those on my Shopify as well. And I'm always constantly thinking of new products to get up on the Shopify.
Starting point is 00:59:32 So hopefully over the next six to eight months, that'll prove profitable for me. Listen, if I put it up, if I did that and that store made a profit of, you know, of $200 a month. Yeah. Like, yeah, that's 20. You know, everybody's like, oh, there's nothing. What does it matter? if I literally had to spend a day or two to set the whole thing up, and you print out all the stuff, you make the investment of a couple thousand dollars, you print up the stuff,
Starting point is 00:59:59 you stick it on a shelf, and every time an order comes in, you take it, you stick it in the bag or the box, you mail it. Like, that is not a lot of effort for an extra $24, $2,500 a year. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:11 So you think about those two days, you just made $2,500 in two days. You know, I'm not going to make $25,000 on a store, a year. But an extra 2,000 here, 5,000 here, 1,000 here. In the end of the year, you look back and you go, Jesus, I got all these little projects.
Starting point is 01:00:29 But that's what pays your thing. I'm going to go to this little place here that prints stickers, and I'm going to have a bunch of stickers printed with my face and my YouTube logo, and I'm just going to send them out with the T-shirts. Yeah. It's like an added bonus. Yeah. Right.
Starting point is 01:00:42 Well, the thing, too, when you do through Shopify, if you're sending it out yourself, do you get their email address? So, yeah, so they either put in their phone number or their email address when they fill out the form when they're placing the order. And then when I ship, I just upload the tracking and it either sends them an email, let them know that their order is shipped and here's the tracking or it sends them a text message. Right. So you're building any, you can build an email list with that.
Starting point is 01:01:08 And yeah, well, also on my Shopify, I have a like on the main page, like I have a landing page for my Shopify. and right at the bottom of the page, I sign up for our, I have like a monthly, you know, you can set up, you can put in your email address so you can sign up for like deals and coupons
Starting point is 01:01:25 and like new t-shirt releases will get sent to your email and all that stuff. Nice. Yeah, I got it streamlined. I got to figure this out. Yeah, but you know,
Starting point is 01:01:36 the problem is, I spend all my time writing books like, you know, Garth Brooks is a serial killer. And, you know, like, which is very,
Starting point is 01:01:43 very frugal. bench, very frugal venture. I like it. The dark humor involved in writing this fucking thing and the research and how much fun, listen, the amount of fun I have had writing this book is, it's, it's amazing.
Starting point is 01:02:01 I mean, I can't, it's going to be fun when it gets released. Yeah, I think there's, there's a, listen, I've already talked to several big,
Starting point is 01:02:08 several podcasters that are like, bro, you got to come on and do something on it. Like you've got to, you know, like go through it. go through the whole and I'm going to do the whole thing deadpan. I'm going to do it absolutely serious.
Starting point is 01:02:19 Absolutely. He's a monster. He's a monster. Listen, I think I told you this. Some of the cases that I found are so like, you know, when you read him, like I was reading to Jess, like listen to this. And I read her the case. Like literally, the person ends up missing, you know, right next to the stadium where he was. The body, the car is, the body's placed in the car.
Starting point is 01:02:44 car driven off somewhere else and dumped. Like they dumped the body somewhere at one place. They leave the car somewhere else. But the car is left not. It's basically about two or three miles from the state. Like you could jog back there or walk back. You know, it's like, okay, this is like and you know, that's one, but there's like three or four that are so close where literally the witnesses are like this guy was there in a semi truck. he was six foot tall with brown hair in his 30s.
Starting point is 01:03:18 That was, is that perfect for Garth Brooks? The girl ends up missing. Her car stays at the, and this is at a, at a, come on that, it's at a rest stop.
Starting point is 01:03:29 At a rest stop along the tour, she's going to college, he's going, he's changing from one, one concert to another. They both pass. So they're both along the same route. So they probably could have stopped at the same,
Starting point is 01:03:42 thing same truck stop or rest stop she disappears he goes to his next his next uh concert he then goes to another concert her body five six days later a week later they find her body on route to another place where he was going now granted whatever circle you know it's it's it's coincidences but if you you know you write it up correctly it's like you're like wow like that's yeah it's fun yeah yeah And you start adding those up. You start going, they ought to take a look at this guy. It's been a lot of fun just to write it.
Starting point is 01:04:21 And of course, there's some that are just like, obviously 99% of all of them. It could be anybody. It's just circumstantial evidence. It means nothing. But still, like I said, a lot of fun. I can't wait to start interviewing psychiatrists. And I got an FBI agent that's going to let me interview them that's worked on serial killer cases. That shit in there
Starting point is 01:04:43 Oh, it's got to be good shit What else is that is? Are you good? Can you think of anything else? I'm just living my life over here in Thailand. You know, I'm enjoying myself. The air pollution made me sick. Like physically, yeah, it's bad.
Starting point is 01:04:56 Like, it didn't affect me for like the first couple months I'm here, but it hit me pretty hard. I've been sick the past couple days. Like, I thought I had the flu or COVID or something, but it's the PM. It's the air quality here. Literally made me sick. You have allergies. Is it the allergies? Or you're saying it's the,
Starting point is 01:05:14 it's not the allergies? A PM. It's the particles per million. It's the air pollution here. It's bad. It's like there's a fog all day long. Like it's, but it's not fog.
Starting point is 01:05:24 It's because they burn all the crops up north every year. The farmers do. And all of that smoke. Yeah, for agriculture. And all that smoke comes down into Bangkok. And it mixes with like, plus, you know, the automobiles here and the industry. and it's just it's bad.
Starting point is 01:05:41 So, yeah, I've literally been sick for the past couple of days. Because I've been running around out in the pollution. I'm like, ah, this isn't affecting me. Ha, ha. Everybody's got masks on the shit. I've been sick, dude, the past couple of days, like, fucked up. Like, sore throat, like, just fucking sick. Today's, like, the first day I've actually felt kind of normal.
Starting point is 01:06:00 So that's, like, that's the only downside to living here is the air pollution. And it's only certain times of the year. It's not all years. It's seasonal. So it's seasonal. It's seasonal. It's when they burn the crops. It is what it is, you know.
Starting point is 01:06:12 It's a trade off I'm willing to make, you know. Well, your condo, what you're on? What are you on? Like the 20th, 30th floor or something? 30th floor condo, brand new. Nobody's lived there. It's about 700 bucks a month. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:28 Everything's brand new. Infinity pool on the roof, two-story gym on the 41st floor, 24-hour concierge. I have an app where I can order maid service. I can order whatever I want to the room. Yeah, to my condo. It's nice. It's nice.
Starting point is 01:06:44 For the first time I like, I'm actually like really just waking up every day and like, man, I walk in in the living room and I open those blinds and I see the city and I'm just like, man, what kind of life am I living right now, dude? You know? It's cool. It's nice, man. It's nice paying $3 for a meal that back home would cost me $27. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:07:05 It's nice being able to order an Uber and it costs. $3.50 to ride, you know, 25 minutes on the back of a, on the back of a motorbike. You know what I mean? The city never sleeps. Like, I can, I can leave my house at three in the morning and there's places open where I can go to eat at a restaurant and I could go to a nightclub or I can do whatever I want to do. Like, everything, anything you could ever imagine, it's right here and it's at your fingertips and it's affordable. You know. Yeah, I was going to say, I don't want to oversell the place. Actually, this place is horrible. Don't even worry about it. Don't come here. We're full.
Starting point is 01:07:38 There's enough people here already. I went to H&R Block the other day. Yesterday, yesterday to do my taxes. It was $30 in an Uber to get there, plus $7 for the tip. And then it was $38 to get back because it was... If I paid that for an Uber year, I could get like an hour and a half car ride. I would be able to drive somewhere for like an hour and a half away for about $30. because that's like a thousand bot, a thousand Thai bot,
Starting point is 01:08:11 which is like you don't ever get charged a thousand bot to go anywhere here unless you're going like an hour away, hour and a half away. And for a thousand bot, I can get one of those luxury vans with the big captain's chairs with the leather seats and the TVs and everything, like a, you know, like a personal chauffeur. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:30 So if you can have, if you have a U.S. income, like you're a digital nomad or something going there. You don't need much. You don't need much. You just need a few thousand. every month to really enjoy life over here, to really, really enjoy life. Yeah. You did, that was a good video. That video you did where you break it down. I like the way
Starting point is 01:08:46 you broke it down into three different sections. $1,000 a month, $2,000 a month and $3,000 a month. I did three different budgets. I did what kind of apartment you could afford on every budget, what kind of food budget you can have for every budget for the month. You know, yeah. That video does like the video's got, that is doing pretty well, actually. Hey, you guys. I appreciate you watching. Do me a favor. We're going to leave. the link to Boziak's channel. Really appreciate you guys watching. Also, we're going to leave, we'll leave his Spotify.
Starting point is 01:09:16 We'll leave his Shopify also and probably a couple of other links for him. Once again, appreciate you watching. Do me a favor. Subscribe to the channel. Thank you very much. See you.
