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. My friend served 20 years charged as an accessory for not reporting the incident. He came out 36 years old nicest guy you could meet as he always was. The friend who fought off the attacker sentenced and I assume served 25 years. Legal system is a game, not justice. People running the show are more criminal than the crooks, which they are.

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.

[@thunderlifestudios]

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 .

[@dreamingonmelrosestreet1362]

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.

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.

[@winningsince1992]

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.

[@keahilanil3469]

@@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.

David Choe needs to write a book, "Tales of a Hitchhiker"....or something along those lines. I would buy that shit! I know a lot of people would. He's already a great storyteller. Do It, man! I can already see youtube channels popping up, in which people read exerpts from his book. Do it, write that freaking book, David!

This guy knows how to paint a picture. I’ve had some similarly crazy experiences myself where you think someone is harmless but they turn out to be dangerous. But people are people and if you know people well enough, you can survive the rare dangerous moments in this first world. Too many people are afraid of one another though. I’ve put myself in insanely dangerous situations and the scariest people often choose peace over trouble.

[@prankgirl9112]

I like how he says with annoyance that in the 80s people started to believe it was dangerous to hitchhike, while rolling his eyes. Then proceeds to tell us unsafe after unsafe story involving hitchhiking. Getting in the car with strangers is just dangerous, especially when no one knoemws where you are.
