David Choe - Steve-O's Wild Ride! Ep #80 

I love how Dave speaks in a way that in Russian there is an expression: "Start from a far". He starts talking about topic, goes long way and different roads, links many stories that you think are not related to it, and at the end is like unexpected eureka moment where he makes conclusion and all stories are kind of linked together to one spot and make sense.

Thumbs up America!!! Choe is an absolute legend, genius, dengenerate gentlemen and I mean that in the best way possible. Stoked for this one Steve!!!!

Choe is the man. He had an art show, The Choe Show, in Koreatown that you had to apply to get into, then you got to go for free. He basically turned an entire office building into an art installation. Everyone was broken up into groups, put on painters suits, and had a tour guide. I cant even begin to desribe how amazing and life-changing it was. Each floor of the building, including the roof was a completely different themes, all executed in amazing detail. There were live 3-D holograms, a choir, actors reciting lines throughout the tour, the craziest paintings and art pieces all over the place. I honestly cant even comprehend how much I saw in those 3 hours. There were no phones allowed. I will never forget David singled me out of my group and took me over to a sink where an elderly Korean man and Choe himself started washing my hands, bothing wearing diapers, whilst asking me very emotional questions. I wish he would do it again so more people could experience it, it was incredible. Such an underrated talent and human being.

I drop everything to watch Dave's interviews, just listening to him prosess his own mindsets helps me figure out my own thoughts alot...

This was one of the best episodes he's done. Dave cho is such an interesting, insightful person. So much to learn from him

I've seen the majority of Steve's podcasts. This for sure has been the best one. The introspection in this episode is eye opening. I've been a gigantic fan of David and his art for almost 20 years. These guys are awesome

I love david so much. When him and steve were on tigerbelly giving Bobby his deserved flowers. It was beautiful

David has to be the best podcast guest of all time. You just know you're in for a ride when you see his name.

Thank you guys. I can relate to you all on different levels. I lost my brother may 20th. I was an ego maniac. Didn't go see him the last year of his life . The shame and guilt are where I'm at now. I appreciate the sharing of your own experiences.

Just want to say this is probably one of my favorite episodes of the podcast, really hit home for me... I was literally in tears thinking about myself when you guys were talking about addiction, depression, and shame. Made me really look at myself and my issues with how I feel emotionally and my issues with my past, chronic nerve pain, and food. I've been on the fence about therapy for a while and I think hearing David and the methods he mentioned about coping and stuff has really made me think therapy might really help so I can learn coping mechanisms. I know yall wont see this but I still wanted to say thank you to you guys and David. Sometimes it's hard to self reflect and this helped

New content from David Choe wuuuuhu! I watch everything from him since i saw him on JRE, very fascinating and inspiring person.❤️

David sand Steve O are the homies that where so crazy you knew they will be something some day. My brother lost everything because of drugs but seeing these guys makes me believe that one day he will get back everything.

Ive been waiting for this episode! David Choe is the greatest human alive! Please do more with choe

Best episode so far. He took topics that aren't commonly discussed it was so interesting then made me laugh throughout the video. David choe is now much more interesting to me. Crazy how intelligent he is

I love how Choe pours his heart out on the mic. Every time I watch one of his WHOLE interviews I can see how cerebral this dude is and how simple but complex his state of mind is. This I can relate too and I applaud steve-o for bringing him on the show 👏👏👏

David choe is hands down my favorite artist on the planet so relatable his passion for love and just caring in general make me feel alot less alone just hearing him speak his traumas and difficulties in life move me. Cried during his rogan podcast thank you for this from the middle of Illinois 🙏

Omg. David Choe is a lengend. I met him in hawaii on the big island kona few years ago. I got done surfing and was walking home. I ran into him on the road walking he had snorkle in his hands and was wear a gucci board shorts lol. I recognized him right away and we started talking story. Incredible person

We definitely need a part 2 with David Choe.

That was so cathartic. I heard so many things I needed to hear that made sense to me for the first time. I'm addicted to shame for sure, but I never realized it until now. I don't have any other words right now. Much love and respect to this podcast and to people getting the help they need to be happy and relaxed and not torture themselves through some masochistic shame-fueled addiction.

This should’ve been an 8 hour episode.

My guy David Choe this guy got me into hitchhiking and travel so much. Can't wait to hear this podcast. Thumbs Up Steve-O!

Two of the deepest cutting, real, emotion giving podcasters. This is gonna be amazing

What an awesome dude David is, feels like one of the bro’s I’ve known my whole life

Steve-o has mastered the art of transitioning into and out of ad reads gracefully, while bringing you back into the context of the conversation after the read. Really well done!

Dave is a true podcast originator, DVDASA came into my life when I was just getting out of highschool and it meant so much to me. He's open and real it made me crave that from other podcast. The fact that you can't find many of the episodes now makes me realize how special that time was and to cherish every moment because you never know when it will end..

These past few days I’ve literally been obsessed with David Choe lmao and then he is this weeks guest 😂 that is fucking amazing dude ✊🏼

Man I love this dude, its so refreshing to see someone thats not trying to fake shit... cant wait to see it...

David Choe changed my life

I'm only 22 and I've been having back and neck and jaw tightness ever since around May of this year! Done PT and myofunctional therapy and yet I wake up almost every day still feeling that tension, no good explanation from the therapists either. But around two weeks ago I noticed the 'Healing back pain' book David was talking about on my shelf because I had apparently bought it like two years ago and so I started looking into TMS and I decided to just try to work on giving myself the space to let my emotions come up and to just accept them. It has only been a couple weeks but my back is doing better since I have accepted that it is likely trapped emotions manifesting as muscle tension. It is honestly crazy to me that David is talking about all this now as I'm just getting started trying to release some of this stress, I think I'm on the right path, I appreciate you David!

He’s a completely different guy now, never seen him smile and laugh this way... or not act weird! Wow!! Keep it up!

Choe is one interesting character and I love hearing him speak

I know its only a little part of this great podcast, but I've struggled with painkiller addiction for 5 years now and its all from a doctor and done legally. Like David Choe said...It never will treat the cause, it only numbs the pain. I'd kill to talk to David for just an hour, been a huge fan of his ever since Thumbs up America, and that was before I truly knew his story.

Saw David Choe play his last Mangchi show in NYC, he handed out a painting and people were beating each other up over it. It was awesome

David Choes’ interview is awesome, super interesting person and super down to earth. I can completely relate to the understanding that living experience is worth so much more than money. Mr. Choe, if you get to read this, thank you for the “ego” statements.

David Choe is an inspiration to all artists in the world, live your life the way you envision it. Your art is the ultimate expression of your world.

Theres no one like Steve-O, like David Choe, people are unique. GOD bless you, guys.

Absolutely brilliant. Was so happy when I saw this uploaded!! Choe grabs my attention and I honestly didn’t want this to end. Thanks Steve-o for getting Choe on

Love hearing from David Choe again. Wish you did part 1, 2, 3 with Choe

What a guy! Steve O really is a great interviewer/podcaster

Best guest on the show yet. This dude is a legend

One of the best shows yet. David Cho is so honest and open. Loved it!!

Ive always loved Dave Choe because of his approach. Ever since watching Thumbs up America back in the day ive loved his cool carefree mentality that is ehat living is all about. I totally appreciate is complete unabashed honestly that helps the rest of us finding our way.

Daaaamn can’t wait for this one! Just finished his appearance on the steebee weebee show!

David. Fucking. Choe. He has a great documentary, history, life. What a fantastic guy.

Fricken Stevo-O is such an inspiration. Glad to see Steve-O doing so well and David Choe! Please Make another Hitchhiking Vice Special!

I could listen to David Choe talk for hours and I do. His show was great and the bonus was the hours and hours of podcasts he did to promote it. 🥰

My favorite interview of the year, personally.

Anyone else have non stop goosebumps through the portrait story? Great story!

Can’t wait! David was awesome last time he was on JRE one of my favorites.

This guy's Rogan interviews are the best he's lived a crazy life awsome dude

David Choe is one of the few that makes me feel not alone.

I flipping love choe

I love this thumbnail along with the podcast.steveo has really made a name for himself.ive watched every single video hes made

Seeing this in my RU-vid feed made me so happy. Two of my favorite brains.

Choe is an amazing person such a genuine human being!

I saw the Choe Show after Denzel Curry retweeted and replied about a tweet about the show, I loved it so much. The vulnerability and openness is what I want to apply to my life.

Man this story of him drawing portraits is deep, I literally teared up

Davids episode on Joe rogan was the best ever episode Joe ever did with somebody, the fact that I just find this 1 and a half hour of a podcast with David makes me so stoked!! I know this will be good!

What a great episode. Wildly entertaining and educational. mad props, you kings! cheers from Brazil

David's show on FX was absolutely incredible. Super meaningful and helped facilitate so many conversations with friends, family, and myself. I'm sorry to hear he doesn't think it was the success he hoped for it. The art direction and story telling was the best television I've ever seen. I hope to see many more episodes. Would love for it to continue forever.

Damn.. this is gonna be good. Choe is a real one.

What a beautiful human being

Please make Part 2! I want to hear David Choe’s Steve-o stories

Steve-0 went from jumping in to a pool with a crocodile vibe to 70 different vitamins in one spoonful

Please have David on again, this was amazing

Dude your a legend David choe !!!your art ,the way you live and ,man I was the same way for ten years in Arizona .and prison n homeless but now complete opposite, not rich like you but I found myself and I'm so happy about it . Your mentality is so awesome man keep being you !!

I have IBS but with the opposite result, Its cool to hear someone talk about it, I get it from dairy but I remember my kindergarden teacher already told my mom that I got stomach cramps when I was nervous

David choe talking and dropping gems,is so necessary,Steve o being the ambassador to this thru his friendship and show was cosmic alignment.🔥✊👍

that equine therapy story was amazing. dave choe is walking art

Steve O and David are archetypes of what it means to be your ultimate self. I'm not implying that they bear no insufficiencies, rather I mean that they represent being themselves so sincerely and with so much glory that it's only right to admire man.

Thumbs up america is still one of the best underground documentaries of all time

This is the stuff we need to hear about. Thanks for having the balls to talk about it. We need more of this.

Man…I first discovered this man on the JRE awhile back and fell in love with him. Then, after watching this, I Google his net worth and find out he’s worth 300+ MILLION?! I’m absolutely stunned…I can’t believe how humble and fucking down to earth he is considering his status. What a fucking legend. I love this guy!

Me talking to my kidney stone pain on the toilet for 10 hours "PAIN BE GONEEEEEE< URGHHHHH HOLLLY SHIT ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHJJJHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH PLEASE STOP ILL NEVER DRINK OR TAKE DRUGGS EVER AGAIN PLEAAAAAAASE"

I love Choe's amazon stories of the jungle and his travels.

David cho and Steve o I kno you don't like this but you're both my heros, and it's something about David that always makes me cry and want to thank you both for influencing me in a positive way ❤

Great episode I'm new to the podcast but I love it. Last few episodes hit deep I'm a born again Christian, former dope fiend and all around degenerate. I like how alot of these stories about being sober are so relatable

David Choe's an amazing podcast guest. Steve-O's Wild Ride!, JRE, Tigerbelly, etc. This was a great episode. Got me super stoked to watch The Choe Show! Also, it was awesome to see Steve-O and the crew so mesmerized by David! Steve-O loves to cut in and tell stories, which is part of why I love him, it just works, but he sat there like a damn disciple while Choe was talking!

Part 2 NEEDs to happen

Hey stevo I’ve been watching your podcast and let me tell you this one is the best so far I love it when you talk about addictions and how you grow from them keep up the work you are changing lives

David is dead on when he talks about speaking to cokeheads in rehab about scoring coke and needing to shit. As soon as I’m on the way to pick up and I know for 100% it’s there I’m bursting for a shit before I even pick up the package.

Had no idea who this guy was before but this was one of the coolest podcasts on the show so far. Glad I gave it a chance

26:30 I said Elephants at the same exact time my guy Steve-O brought it up!!!

I love Choe

I literally just watched his entire backlog for the millionth time this week and this coming up as I'm literally digging for more is fucking fate. Let's fuckin go!

My thing is I just get sleepy. Sad? Anxious? Angry? Ashamed? I’ll start yawning and then I’m out😂

Top tier guest! I hardly watch your podcasts but I’ll tune in for this. Choe is an absolute legend

Hell yeah, Cho and Steve-O are the best

Hyped for this

David Choe is a force of nature. Along w the two Rogan pods, this is now the 3rd time I’ve seen him do an interview. I felt compelled to say…In this world we live where where everything and everyone is so synthetic. Where any way you turn, you’re met with a hollowed out shell of what was supposed to be. Where it’s all smoke and mirrors…this guy has a relentless authenticity to him that feels like an assault on your senses. A welcome one. I fuggin love this guy

12:26 Steve O: *”I still get high. HIGHdrated on that crispy liquid death water”*

Gold, can’t wait for a part 2

Hell ya wasn’t expecting this!!! Love David choe

Choe and Steve, great artists lets gooo

Heard about David from rogan years ago dude is a legend

Choe is so open, honest and humble. I always enjoy listening to him.

Dude!!!!! YES !!! David Choe is the fucking man !!! Great idea to have him as a guest. One hero interviews another. Great show man.
