I have an elder friend of mine who's in his 60s now. He grew up and lived all over the South. He has a ton of hitchhiking stories. He started hitchhiking when he was 15 in the early 70s, he told me about the time when him and his buddy were picked up by a Motorcycle Club/Gang in New Mexico and they partied with them for a few days,he has a similar story to David Choe's where a preacher picked him & his buddy up in Texas and the preacher got them drunk & try to come on to them while they were passed out. He said him & his friend hitchhiked everywhere together and were best friends, they got arrested trying to get a ride on a freeway on-ramp. They took him to jail and his friend to juvie(18 & 17), they let him go a day later and he tried to find his friend, he said he called the detention center and they told him that they didn't have anyone by that name and he was never able to find him & never saw him again. This guy has a ton of interesting stories, I need to film him telling these stories or record them or something
Have a friend who ended up in this scenario. Attacked his friend who fought back struck him (attacker) with an object which ended his life. They left the scene were caught sometime later. Prosecutors spun a tune that they were hustlers that conspired to rob the man. Class and appearance no doubt suggested too easy a win for these trained liars not to exploit and so naturally they did.

How does the saying go " rules for thee and not for me" something along those lines. Anyhow it would seem the justice system is stacked against the commoners.
Sounds about right. Prosecutors care more about making a name for themselves than Justice. A local dead with community ties vs some out of town hitchhikers- yup time to set that up into a grand slam case; that’s the type of case you use to go from district attorney to Governor or something.
" Everybody hitchhiked in the 60's and 70's and then a weird thing happened, everybody thinking they might get murdered or raped" proceeds to tell stories of murder and rape coming from the drivers, yeah real weird
I began hitching in 2015 and to date it is the best decision I have ever made. I'm nowhere near as well traveled as him but I put around 8000 miles under my belt in five years. I never see myself stopping. The world is too big to sit in one corner and call it good. I've met some wonderful people, some insane individuals, some lonely but lovely souls, and some desperate disasters...and I've loved every minute of it looking back.
Ive *LOVED* this guy since he put his Hitchhiking Journeys on Vice back in the early 2000s. absolutely AWESOME videos. his friends he Hitched with are great too, hope they're doing great too.
My first time hitch hiking I was headed back to a hostel in New Zealand and the dude that picked me up had his son in the back and he just told me and mostly his son abt his experience hitchhiking across the United States at my age. Good dude, in the us a lot of ppl tend to pick you up and rant abt how unsafe it is and then let you go a bit down the road depending on where they are going
This guy should just bring Bobby with him on trips & show and explain things to Bobby while getting real reaction. “See that guy with the burning tire around him? He molested someone.” “That would have helped me at the ice rink bleachers to get some candy.”
Many years ago I had a friend who hitched and hopped trains to get home to be with her kid. There are MANY types of people that choose the road less traveled.
Aren't the hitchhikers usually the victims? Seems like a much more chill way to kill people instead of waiting at the side of the road and too much complications if you don't have your own vehicle..
How dumb can they get lol. Why would a normal person trust 2 strangers in their house not to rob them and run, unless they were blinded by their shlong.
Same reason females are picked up. Doesn't mean he will rape them just hoping they will be willing. This whole encounter seems to be viewed from a homophobic point of view imo
I hitched cross country starting at 15 yrs old. Great stories from getting 1st ride to drop me off 3000 miles at my destination to truckers waking me up to give me rides. Once I drew thousands of faces on every rock at the end of the on ramp...thousands. Always wondered how the next hitchhiker reacted when he looked down. :)
crazy story, i got my wisdom teeth out a year and a half ago, turns out the anesthesiologist who administered the drugs to me, kidnapped and held this young woman at his house with the help of his wife.
well if you dont want anything negative to happen to you then never leave your house.. actually you will probably still get fucked so.. might as well live.
The Great Cornholio Yeah but hitchhiking ain’t the best idea... I wonder when exactly it was that that shit started going sideways and people started getting murdered and stuff didn’t it used to be super common before?
@@SliceofBread123 No, it was just propaganda that started spreading during the 70s and 80s. They also made it illegal to pick up hitchhikers in some states.
He is absolutely correct. People will bare their souls and tell you the most stunning things about themselves, the most appalling personal secrets that they'd NEVER tell anyone, because, as a total stranger who they will never see again, the act of confession is extremely cathartic. When I used to hitchhike people told me things that curled my hair
This guy is a celebrity, I’ve seen him here and there. My God, this guys life and the things he’s seen and done. I honestly love this guy. Like the best stories in the experiences he’s had
yeah it’s crazy. He’s worth 300 million dollars. Invested into Facebook at 38$ a share and I think it’s at like 260$ rn🤯. He’s also very renowned for his impressive artwork & graffiti artwork. A real sage he is.
@@jamesmadison5045 Depends on if he sold all his stock. He said he didn't sell all in 2012. That's when it was worth 200m when stock was 25-30 bucks per shares. 12x that now and its worth over 2B.......if he kept majority since 2012.
The fact that people judging you as not a threat and this guy taking advantage of that in the right way is absolutely genius. I’m sure this dude has witnessed multiple live’s worth of amazing things.
He made a good point when he talked about receiving help. For men that might be the hardest things to do I feel, it’s much easier to help others then it is to except the help of others. That means letting go of your pride and having the humbleness of spirit to receive. That’s the key.
As a man I can agree. My personal circle has shown me they aren't reliable with my issues (internal mostly). So I think that's one issue for me when you can't even trust parents and siblings and your friends are in no position to really be supportive it becomes annoying to have company .
True when he also said he is apart of a men’s group. I was like I going to look into that. In Sought ca they have things like that. This quarantine really messed me up for minute. I had to to reach out to a therapist. I’m doing much better now. Glad I asked for help. Think of it staying in house 2.5 months. Wow. I began using the calm app as well. It was a huge help with dealing with anxiety. I’m using the 30 day beginning mediate part of the app. So that has helped me and also checking on different friends each week. Helps me get the focus off myself.
I have hitchhiked for years myself, but you are not travelling for free, you are travelling on the costs of somebody else. But, its true, there are really weird people on the road.
each and every single word that he utters i feel them with the every cell in my body , im not even asian i was born and raised in iran but moved to canada. everything he mentions i experienced them in my life
It’s a shame there’s so many psychos and creeps out there, because hitchhiking sounds like a genuinely fun and interesting way of exploring the country.
@Karson Kalabo yeah but there was 100 other women to your 1 aunt that were. We just don't hear about it because they didnt have technology to get their stories out there
@Karson Kalabo I'm glad your aunt was safe, but there are plenty of women (and men for that matter) who got into deep trouble trying to hitchhike. Robbed, raped, murdered or simply beat up. Maybe even ditched somewhere. There's a lot of risks involved in asking a complete stranger to take you somewhere. In a better world, it'd be a viable option. Not in this world, bro.
What did the guy do that was psycho or creepy? Picked up hitchhikers? Said he was gay? Said if they wanted he would have sex with them? Nothing he did was super creepy just interpreted as creepy by a slightly homophobic mind. He didn't force or even ask for anything at all.
@@DM-bv9uh he did the art for the first Facebook HQ in 2004 and they offered him Facebook stock or $60k. He took the shares even though they hadn't had their IPO yet, in large part due to Sean Parker recommending that he take the stock. When Facebook had their IPO in 2012, those shares were worth $200 million. Not sure how much he sold off, or if he even still has any of those shares, but they'd were worth $1.9 billion at the stocks' peak value back in September of 2021.
He’s got something in him.. something genuine and humane, my cousin has been to every state but has looked down disdainfully on those she didn’t understand who had a different way of living than her,
For the first time on a Joe Rogan podcast I watched from the beginning to the end without being distracted from something, this guy can really tell a good story 😂
the scary part is that he tells david that he is a "part time" anesthesiologist . obviously he isnt, there must be sometghing in his house david saw that he had to make up a job to exp;ain to david, how he has things related to anesthesiology.
Uhhhh my good friend’s dad was an anesthesiologist, and eventually he went to part-time. He also had random medical supplies, just because and just in case shit went down and he could help. But I have no idea how you be a part time oil rigger and part time anesthesiologist though.
His presence in Roadrunner about Anthony Bourdain was beautiful and sad. He’s so alive, I love people like that. Omg He’s right about hitchhiking storytelling😳. I’ve hitchhiked in the Yucatán and Maui, the stories get shadowy no doubt and the connections are potent, never forgetting someone you meet in passing is a trip.
He looks like a magical old asian man that sells you the most potent weed in all the land
He looks like an orangutan

There are only 2 types of people who hitchhike:
1- Coolest most chillest dudes on Earth

Not sure how much he sold off, or if he even still has any of those shares, but they'd were worth $1.9 billion at the stocks' peak value back in September of 2021.
@@keahilanil3469 ohhhh shit! Say no more. Cheers for the break down and the history.
One of the most interesting characters and true life stories and storytellers I’ve ever heard (on Rogan or anywhere)
This is what you get when you just be yourself, you end up shining because we are all special x
“You didn’t just hitchhike you hitchhoused?” Had me dying for some reason lmao
"When you hurt someone it stays with them forever". Reminds me of a proverb I learned as a child- "the tree remembers what the axe has forgotten".
Well said about hurting someone it doesn't go away
I could listen to this guy all day.
In other words...David Choe experienced his first 'Harold and Kumar' moment
'Who wants first reach around?'
I swear to God
I do want to like this comment... But won't... It's count is at 69... In Harold n Kumar spirit!!!!

A guy says to driver "what would you do if I was a serial killer?" The driver replies "I dont think there is likely to be two in same car do you?"
Wow
No way!!!
@@shonnieperson7649 it was a story I actually heard on youtube, not sure if its an urban myth or not but makes for a good story
Hahahah
i could listen to this guy all day
I can picture myself in the story. Great story teller
He’s got something in him.. something genuine and humane, my cousin has been to every state but has looked down disdainfully on those she didn’t understand who had a different way of living than her,
That’s the problem. She’s never left her bubble. There is so much more out there than the US.
That is also rare. Travelers are usually the most non judgemental people you will ever meet.
No ones afraid of him and he's super approachable, little do they know he once killed a man with a rock in the congo while he was sleeping.
he never killed him he thought about
@@temaratkinson6051 na he definitely killed him just didn't admit it you could tell by his body language and how he didn't wanna say his name
Why would he kill him?
That time he said “which version of the story do I tell, cos it gets dark” and said he didn’t do it
you can never tell with this guy. although if he did kill that dude, holy shit
I wish his little series would’ve kept going I can’t get enough for re-watching his shit
A fantastic story teller
This guy’s voice is so soothing
It’s the LA accent I think.
For the first time on a Joe Rogan podcast I watched from the beginning to the end without being distracted from something, this guy can really tell a good story 😂
Same here holy shit🤣🤣🤣
same
Maybe work on improving your listening skills
@@kennywest9626 i disagree
Indeed
when he did the eye thing with his fingers that broke my heart a bit. How many times he seen that, how unfair is that.
WE NEED DAVID CHOE BACK ON THE SHOW
After listening to this guy I feel like have done nothing.
“Something weird happened in the 80’s”
Serial Killers, serial killers happened in the 80’s 😂
I am on the road and hitchhiking around the world more then 6 years. Right now I am in El Salvador 👋🤠
Incredible this man is 🌞🌞🌞
Greetings to U from Beograd, Serbia
the scary part is that he tells david that he is a "part time" anesthesiologist . obviously he isnt, there must be sometghing in his house david saw that he had to make up a job to exp;ain to david, how he has things related to anesthesiology.
"Oh yeah, all that... uh... stuff. Uh..."
"I'm a part-time anesthesiologist."
"Yep. That's all that is."
😆😆
Uhhhh my good friend’s dad was an anesthesiologist, and eventually he went to part-time. He also had random medical supplies, just because and just in case shit went down and he could help. But I have no idea how you be a part time oil rigger and part time anesthesiologist though.
@@JohnDoe-zq1ho Most offshore medics are trained anesthesiologist, that's what he does at sea. I believe the story.
Or david embellishes and makes up parts of his stories
“this guy went to the store and bought eggs for me” LMFAOOOO
David has the best stories of all time
His presence in Roadrunner about Anthony Bourdain was beautiful and sad. He’s so alive, I love people like that. Omg He’s right about hitchhiking storytelling😳. I’ve hitchhiked in the Yucatán and Maui, the stories get shadowy no doubt and the connections are potent, never forgetting someone you meet in passing is a trip.
