It was bugging me so much trying to think of who he reminded me of but I kept trying to think of real people from school or various jobs, lol! It would have been a hilarious sight if he did look like this when he was1 Lost in the jungle all scared holding his tail and shit quivering and blubbering with the German bossing him around punking him off for tuna and crackers!
My teacher was a Christian missionary and went to Africa. He was near the congo rainforest and he claimed he saw a dinasaur. He would have gotten a picture but he was rushing his wife on an empty tank to a hospital, was a miracle of God he drove almost 100 miles on 0 fuel
The look in his eyes when he shifts the subject about how much of a dick that guy was. That's why he wouldn't say his name. Also, he did it in another country, no witnesses, no laws...yea
When you look at how many different spots he has been in and tribes he kicked it with, I believe you are right. He was probably well equipped at that point to do so
Sounds exactly like something two 19yrolds would come up with. You have to put this in context. You're 18 and decide to go dinosaur hunting because of something you read in National Geographic. I don't think they are operating on a high "excuses" level when telling people who they are.

My brother lived in the Congo in the bush for two years when it was called Zaire. When he returned, he was even more quiet than usual. He went from 5'10" and 170 lbs, to 140 lbs. and almost died twice; once from amebic dysentery, and once from malaria. He's 6 years older than me and I was still a teen at that time, so he saw that I was trying to figure out how to deal with his PTSD, so he started teaching me Lingala and Mbaka. I have no idea how to spell those languages. He didn't want to teach me French, which was also spoken there, for some reason. I can say that my brother is definitely a genius. My dad was a member of MENSA but seemed moronic next to my brother. But unlike my father, my brother was always more mature than his contemporaries. But when he returned from Africa, it was as if he had emotionally aged another ten years. Whatever he saw, and he only gave me glimpses, changed him forever. Years later, when I asked him why he was so quiet and pensive after his return, he thought for a moment and said, "It took me a while to get used to people complaining about the most insignificant things. The people I lived with in the jungle had nothing. If they had shoes, that was very unusual. Before I left, I gave them everything I had. I realized that they needed those things so much more than I did." My brother, to this day, is my hero.
I lost 2 children in less than 2 years, I understand what your brother says and does, it really puts life into perspective.....(the part about people complaining about the most insignificant things)
@@conorthompson943 I was borrowing his 1962 VW Bug so it had to be the early 80s when he returned. I want to say he returned in '81 or '82 because I don't think I borrowed it for very long. There was always scary political stuff going on in that region as well. He still doesn't talk about it. He only mentioned good things like sitting by a campfire in what he said was the darkest night you've ever seen be ause there wasn't any artificial light for miles. Suddenly, a rhino ran up from the bushes and started stomping out the fire. The people from Zaire he was with calmly, but quickly got out of the way and didn't seem phased. When the rhino was done and left. My brother asked what that was all about. They told him that rhinoceroses put out fires when they see them! I don't know if that's a belief they have or if it's really what rhino's do, but that night, that's exactly what that particular rhino did.🤣

@@RastaLlama David Choe and famous pornstar Asa Akiras podcast, think the last episode came out in 2015. David went kinda mental for a few years after that and has tried to remove every episode from the internet but they keep getting reuploaded
somewhere in Germany there is a politician on a talk show telling the story of this time he was in the Congo, trying to help an Asian American keep focused in a dire situation while the poor fellow lost his mind talking to trees...."it was not easy, I had to stay on him and ride him pretty hard, but I got him out of there...."
He hits the nail on the head and people don’t believe me when I say this…..The system that’s your little false bubble of security….can collapse over night, no matter where you are. It can and will happen one day. What an amazing humble, interesting guy. What an amazing podcast! This one is definitely on the download!
pretty sure he actually ended up killing him. he talked about which version of this story to tell because it could get so dark. had “murder dave” come to the mic for a minute and specified that he had totally lost his mind. he gave such a detailed account about taking his money and getting pride and ego back like he has actually done it. story didn’t end up getting very dark at all so clearly this was the happy version of the story?
@@Salty-yb6wi I was thinking the same exact thing man he definitely killed him and honestly he’s right in his circumstances and terms it really doesn’t matter too much
@@Salty-yb6wi eh, I don’t think he did because the German guy translated the French later in the story. It’s hard to tell how much of it all is real though.
Hell yes. I almost feel like he doesn’t want to, though, because of the painful memories that would resurface from his early life. Then again, it could potentially be therapeutic if he did. I hope Dave considers it; maybe his story can inspire more people to overcome pain and live more fulfilled lives.
@@yungdoenewcali4943 You may be comedy -deprived. It's a condition where you have so little comedy, even really stupid and failed attempts at being funny can make you laugh.
I'm afraid to leave my house, meanwhile this guy is out getting himself lost in the jungle on another continent during a Civil war because he wants to find a living dinosaur
he was right when he said Asian dudes like him have some kind of none threatening vibe. so with that he probably was able to go under the radar much easier than a lot of people
This story is awesome! I used to live in Brazzaville, everything he is saying about the jungle is truth. I used to live across the street from the Congo zoo, the trees are so tall, the lizards are huge and they also have mermaids in the Congo. If you ever go to mama wata, they will tell you the story about the mermaids. The Congo is a interesting place.
I'm half Congolese and half French Caribbean currently living in Brazzaville and yes I confirm we have pretty interesting stories here. But the thing is that actually many people really live according these beliefs. Mokele Mbembe, Mermaids, Succubus and Incubus/Night lovers, mystic cats, talking trees, mystic forest, witchcraft etc....
@@tonymaccaroni5744 People said that they just look like very beautiful and gracious women one has to summon and make a lifelong pact with. Globally she'll bring you luck, wealth and success and you would have to be extremely moyal to her. If you broke this pact or cheat on her, you would end up dead or crazy. It said that some kids can be tied with mermaids during childhood and has to bring them many types of gift.
For every guy like this out there, there are at least 10 other guys who basically did the same sort of things but ended up murdered, raped, or sold into slavery, or just died of starvation or a minor illness out in the wilderness
plot twist, the pigmys take him further into the jungle and there they show him ancient stone age drawings on cave walls of eastern Asian people within UFO' s amongst depicted star constellations.
There's a similar movie story about 3 guys who travel together in the South American jungle. True story. It's called Jungle from 2017. Starring that guy from Harry Potter.
I haven't even read any other comments, yet. This guy David Choe needs to come on and tell a different story on your show, at least once every week. EVERY WEEK
@@MusicMan3 Brian, I'm sorry that you ASSUMED I wanted to have his stories told because they were supposedly facts. I, like you, LOVE real life stories. People call me the 'The Real Living Forrest Gump' because my stories are 100% true & unbelievable but even with my unbelievable stories couldn't tell them like he did. His storytelling is very much captivating, colorful & in today's world that we LIVE in, very much needed even if parts are not truth. As long as he isn't hurting anyone, what's wrong with that? Sure, like most, I would love to hear stories from Elon, Gates, or some rags to riches stories like my own from living out of a car blowing balloon animals & performing street magic in miami in order to just survive, to later being on movie sets, to performing all over the world for the top 2% wealthiest & richest we have amongst us for the past 25 years. His stories once a week, like good 'click bait' would draw me back to Joe. With all due respect Sir Miller, it's Joe that I really support! Just like you. XoXo
@@benpietrzykowski9216 I guess you're right Ben. Thank you:) I'm more into great story telling. David Choe could literally tell stories on the daily & I would just listen and learn.
Tommy Dotson me too he really is captivating and intriguing . I do sometimes tho question the amount of truth to some of his stories just by his body language and eye movement . Either way a great human with an immense amount of talent
Mike Studmuffin I don’t think he murdered him. He almost said the guys name and if he was smart about it he wouldn’t even mention the German guy in the story
Mike Studmuffin if he murdered him he wouldn’t even bring him up because he would have to erase his whole existence or makeup the last half of the story
@@beaups10 He mentioned a peace corp guy named Chris. Who he also said wouldn't say anything if he killed the German guy. So in order for Chris not to say anything he must first have something to not say so he must have been there also.
I thin you're confusing eccentricity,oddness,weirdness and quirkiness for insanity.There can be some overlap and there can even be a VERY thin line but there's still usually a difference. Of course,people can be FUNCTIONALLY out of their mind,too but I personally don't think that David Choe is crazy.
18:30 - Joe: "Dude, your description sounds TERRifying. Sleeping in the tent? Oh my God, dude, I'm freaking out over here." Joe, 1sec later: **YAAAWWNN**
I don't remember where I heard this from so beware 😂, but once I was told that yawning when talking to someone was actually a sign that you are interested deeply in what they are talking about and it's a method you use to ward off sleepiness so you can be more focused on the conversation in front of you

Tf did he actually buy 10k stock in fb? How does that even make sense if he was travelling broke at 18, does he have rich parents or someshit? 10k stock in anything isn't cheap.

@@west1002 Hahahaha!!!!!! I know, right?! That was exactly my response, too! A comment like that brings up a zillion questions, and all we can do is sit, and wonder what the hell went down! 🤣
@@vedoooo Hahaha!!! If by living you mean having a tribal chief want me dead...no! That I can say has most certainly never happened to me! I did get lost in the rain forest once, while backpacking through Costa Rica, but that's as close as it gets! Saw some amazing wildlife while lost, too (including some kind of awesome black cat--eithetva panther or a black leopard, most likely!), but there were definitely no tribal chiefs involved!
That story is in the Vice episode: the Chief gave him alcohol and he got way too drunk (in an environment I wouldn't want to be buzzed). It's worth watching.

pretty sure he actually ended up killing him. he talked about which version of this story to tell because it could get so dark. had “murder dave” come to the mic for a minute and specified that he had totally lost his mind. he gave such a detailed account about taking his money and getting pride and ego back like he has actually done it. story didn’t end up getting very dark at all so clearly this was the happy version of the story?

i never read books but i was just about to search if this guy wrote a book. im downbto read whatever
Hell yes. I almost feel like he doesn’t want to, though, because of the painful memories that would resurface from his early life. Then again, it could potentially be therapeutic if he did. I hope Dave considers it; maybe his story can inspire more people to overcome pain and live more fulfilled lives.

This story is awesome! I used to live in Brazzaville, everything he is saying about the jungle is truth. I used to live across the street from the Congo zoo, the trees are so tall, the lizards are huge and they also have mermaids in the Congo. If you ever go to mama wata, they will tell you the story about the mermaids. The Congo is a interesting place.
Mermaids?? Proof? NOT ladies right.. like a 2 armed species unlike us?
You have some info about these mermaids? Do they know how they look?
I'm half Congolese and half French Caribbean currently living in Brazzaville and yes I confirm we have pretty interesting stories here.
