The fact that this story was basically a side quest overall in his life.

"I'm seeing people murdered, I'm scared for my life, I got attacked once.... so now I'm thinking, I have to find that dinosaur."

That German guy who ate all their food in one night while treating him like crap definitely had a future in politics.

Why has this not been made into a movie yet?? If Bert can get a movie, David definitely deserves one.

Let’s not get distracted from the fact that there is still a community of pigmy people in the Congo who believe an Alien visited them asking about the local dinosaur

This guy looks like the Lion from The Wizard Of Oz.

I have watched this probably 12 times already and I gotta say, David is such an amazingly intelligent and inspiring human being. He tells a story so well, it's awesome! I hope he comes back to the show again lol.

The way you narrate the story makes it so intriguing and makes your mind picture everything... I respect you so much

He asked joe if he ever got lost in the jungle like that as if it was normal lol

This dude had lived more lives in one year than most of us do in a lifetime! Respect sir!

Watching this video for the 5th time and I still get chills… one of my favorite interviews!

even if the story is only 10% true, guy is top tier at story telling, Dave is gonna be the best grandpa

David Choe for sure murdered that German dude.

This guy is lucky to be alive. He ignores every danger sign in existence.

This may be one of the most incredible interviews on KZfaq I've ever heard/seen! Seriously. Compelling stuff! Wow.

I can feel David choe emotional distress through my screen man .

"I'm a bodyguard to a toothpaste executive" "ok come on in"

Glory be to God!!! There is no other way to explain why you are still here. Much love 💯

This guy can tell a story. I'm on the edge of my seat. Amazing

That was the fastest 30 minutes of anything I've ever watched. Completely captivated.

This guy is clearly holding back on a lot of info about his trip If you all don’t stop fighting down there imma come down and smack you!😂

I have never came across a human that I wanted to know everything about from birth until now. I not only want to meet this man, but I want to sit with David and hear his entire life story. ❤❤❤

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!

I was lowkey excpecting him to find the dinosaur lol

This MIGHT BE the BEST STORY ever told. This dude is a LEGEND

I love how he says he doesn’t want to cuss and then he starts dropping F bombs😂😂 I don’t personally like when I swear, but it is often great for people who want to express themselves strongly - and this is an emotionally tough situation. Never stop being who you are Mr. Choe!!

These stories are wild and super intresting. Love this interview.

I love this guy. I didn’t go looking for dinosaurs but I went out seeking the meaning of life as a teenager in the 90’s. People have no idea what life was like before the internet. It was such an incredible adventure. I’m so glad I got to experience it.

asian guy: “The names David” african guys: “ahh yes Nintendo”

Hi Joe I'm 63 mexican living in ny for long time i just wanted to let you know that I love your channel you have people telling they stories.....God bless

I love Joe’s ability to listen.. not over talk or interrupt but just listen and be interested

What a beautiful person to look for the humidity and the gratitude and the simplicity of life in the open field.

Ahh the good ol "I'm a bodyguard to a toothpaste executive" trick

David: "yeah I almost killed a guy" Joe: *yawns*

Wow! That's insane but very adventuresome! That took a lot of balls! + he's opening up about a lot of personal pain! That's extremely brave!

So good to listen. I love Choe's narratives. He's always so calm and credible, I can tell by his body language and microfacial expressions (portuguese expert here) that he is telling the truth. Love him.

I don't think I've ever been so engaged in a guest's part of the conversation. I was glued to the screen. What an interesting guy

Imagine finding Asian Jesus talking to trees in a jungle

I watched some of the videos from when David went into the Congo. It was on vice. David looks so much better with his hair long and blonde. This man is such an awesome story teller.

Awesome...Awesome...thanks for returning with an apt ability...still brothers. Awesome

I think this guy must of played Jumanji and never finished the game

"I'd experienced a lot of abuse from black people...so I went to the Congo in the middle of a civil war." Epic.

Wow…. His story is amazing!!! It got really dark for a moment. What a life changing, humbling, amazing experience.

I felt it when he said his life has been very reactionary. Some people just dont want to listen and explore the world, no matter the danger.

Talking about finding a dinosaur in 95 and murdering a German with a rock and meeting a Pygmy and The one thing that doesn’t seem believable to joe is the tree being 200 ft tall. 😂😂😂😂😂

This dude is like a crazy ass character in a Cheech and Chong movie.

This dude is absolutely fascinating. Some may think he’s crazy but I could listen to him all day!

David choe you sir are a madman, thank you so much this story is beyond amazing

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.

David: "I get to the congo and it smells like burning trash, there's a civil war going on, bullets are flying through the air, I'm seeing people murdered by hanging and stoning, I was even attacked once, and I'm in fear for my life...…….. So now I'm thinking...…...I HAVE GOT TO FIND THIS DINOSOAR" I love this man.

OMG I love David Choe and his experiences.

Wow what a story. I loved every minute off it.

the way he relives every moment of how he almost killed that guy just tells you that shit scarred him deep

Plot twist: David WAS the German dude too, it was like fight club but he was in the jungle looking for a dinosaur.

You not the only one mr choe im glad you still here to man i bet you not going in that jungle anymore

David Chow just wants to be a better human! I love David Chow!❤❤❤

who just goes to the congo and walks into the jungle with no guide, no direction, nothing? Wow. And he's here right now, how unbelievable. An incredible dude.

"I'm talking to the vegetation" will always be an under rated line.

9:00 very true - it is what it is, but we can all frame it better. Thanks dude. And wow, what a story. This guy has lived, but sounds like he's wound himself up in these situations out of stubbornness and then 'learnt the hard way'.

love David's stories, you can tell there is no bull shit... totally awesome

ok this dude need to write a book about everything in life

No one will ever beat this podcast, ever.

He’s gonna have the best story’s for his grandchildren

For some reason, Joe seems to be at his best as an interviewer in this segment ….he gently leads him to tell his story …..and we stay enthralled….

I swear he looks like the lion from wizard of oz.

Choe’s looking like he just found his way back and came straight to the studio.

This is the most stupid yet the coolest story I've ever listen to.... ❤ I love it... ❤❤

Absolute class 😊laughed so much I was crying 😂

This gentleman is civilized crazy person. And I’m happy he exists.

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...."

Nintendo has an amazing story. I enjoyed hearing a lion looking man tell it. Props to Joe for interviewing him‼️

I love this part of his experience!!❤️❤️

This story sounds like a setup to a joke. "So an Asian guy and a German walk into the jungle."

This dude is probably Jesus in some religion in the Congo's

I found myself literally holding my breath as David was telling his story about how he was contemplating killing that guy 😮

Vice travels was the best. This particular episode was one of the best episodes.

He believed in Santa Claus until he went to the north pole and didn't find him

Joe Rogan concerned “How big are the frogs?” 7:28

What a strong minded dude. I love his perception of how he’s fu**** and still thinking of himself when he gets out.

Great Topics, Great Host, 🙂

Netflix needs to make a series about Dave’s search for the dinosaur in the Congo jungle!

He looks like Steve Aoki went to the Congo and came out having aged 40 years in a week.

David choe you’re best artist ever I hope you return the Congo again but this time bring some groups especially if have weapons with you including food supplies

I am in South Africa and I know this dude is right, about a huge wild animal in Congo, it makes noise after some time, and all the other wild animals run out to villages. this happens maybe once a year or once in ten to six-years it just don't have the timing. people die when they go there

All I got out of this is that I'm gonna stop wearing underwear.

“It’s not a bad thing to describe things accurately”. That’s exactly why I love this pod cast

I fucs wit stories like this that make my mind work 🔥🔥🔥🤯

Davids Vice train hopping doc was awesome, the guy is super interesting

Only on JRE can a full grown man say "SO NOW I'M LIKE, NOW I REALLY HAVE TO FIND THIS DINOSAUR" and you take him seriously

This dude is probably one of the most interesting guests Joe has ever had

Can you imagine as a parent getting that letter from your child!!!... Now I continue watching..

That story would make a hell of a movie, for christ sake!

wow ' what an interview ' amazing story , interview him again , there's more to this guy , regards joe from OZ

First saw Choe I’m Thumbs Up, didn’t look him up for years, now I see this ! Wow, I’ve been missing out 😅

David Choe found the dinosaur, he's just not allowed to say.

The whole time he's actually just walking around Venice Beach...

Hey Joe how you doing I see a lot of your broadcast this guy David choe he's awesome

Guy said "I've literally been everywhere and im fucking bored dude" 😂 wow

Jealous of his ability to ignore fear responses, and live completely out of spite and adventure

this is one of the craziest stories I've ever heard in my life.
