Zonies Coasters yeah when I met David a year ago I asked how he did this series, he said basically they would have a camera, and the camera person was different people that switch out ever few hundred miles, and the new camera person always kept in phone contact with them to find out where they were.

This is the first time seeing this one for me but I remember seeing the first Thumbs Up on Vice in 2011 or so. Probably the best thing Vice has ever done IMO
The Algorithm brought me back to this series after 9 years. Watched it when it came out. Brings back the memories of a youtube from the past. When video's had time limits and a high view count was below one million. Going to be hard rewatching this 480p on a 4k screen...
His idea was PURE GENIUS, there are some youtubers doing similar things in China today, he paved the road!!! Wish he did this again and made a movie out of it.
Koufax I was just saying him and the cute asian girl connected really well- I didn’t think anyone would think I meant he met his actual wife- we watched the same video
The takashi mukarami lv belt casually in the video. A man ahead of his time. This dude is an underrated artist and human being. He has lived life to the absolute fullest. I’d love to shake this dudes hand. Especially after all the time that has passed since this video series was made. The Rogan interview made me appreciate him as a human. Trying to better himself for himself and being conscious of the choices he makes , even verbally. And the fact he is so wealthy and he doesnt flaunt it… no matter who paints him a villain I’ll carry a flag for him.
seriously i really have been enjoying this and david seems like a special dude! Just started watching last night! have watched the other 2 adventures but didnt expect this so im stoked!
Brisk Tea There was another comment calling High Def an idiot but he deleted it Edit: actually I think they were calling Edwin an idiot and then there was 2 people arguing that also deleted their comments. It was a long time ago so I’m not sure.
SO excited for this! Absolutely loved the 2 American hitchhiking trips; cannot even imagine how this is gonna go down in China where they speak zero Mandarin and where I'm not aware of a hitchhiking culture exists... LET THE ADVENTURE BEGIN!
i am 24... i have been out of "the news" loop for a while because its all bullshit anyway.. then i stumbled across vice. i am truly appreciative of the way they show the world. i often feel surrounded by negativity, my own more than others. but in the grand scheme of things.. in terms of information, content, humour and the interviwers themselves i would say vice is the greatest source of news in the world.. everyone i know is getting into it, i even heard they were getting their own channel
Asian Bird Flu on only the third day of filming, AND you're hitching across the country??? Phewww... I'm wishing you the best of luck on not shitting your pants like Alaska 😂
John Caputo His performance as "Short Round" in the second Indy film should have won Best Supporting Actor. But now he's too busy running North Korea to reflect and care about the past.
if this isnt staged idk what is, 1st season was awesome but it kinda gets weaker with every season. keep it natural man, thats what people want, not some bubblegum bullshit. dont take that too harsh, u guys are awesome
BS what part of this do you think was staged? Hiring dirt poor Chinese labourers to be part of the show that don't even speak English? Only part that is staged is they prob have a back ambulance ready in case they do starve or get ran over
Whahahahahaha😂😂😂😅 bro you are a real artist! Never saw a guy wiring a Widad Casablanca suite!! Unfortunately I am for Raja Casablanca but still funny as hell!!!! Love the videos you make brother and hopefully I'll have a piece of art one day! Keep on the great work and come to Casablanca we need a person like you!
This was the peak of VICE content
True!

Thumbs Up Season 4: Hitchhiking Across Syria
ood one
He's been through the Middle East at least once before, although it was before the civil war.
@@Maxizio oh shit how do you know? serious question.
@@MrK4LB davidchoe.com/2013/david-choe-and-estevan-oriols-journey-through-the-middle-east
turns out he went through there even during the Syrian civil war
I love when Stephanie takes over the role of David.
i love the sub titles because you can tell when steph is bullshitting dave
Idk why youtube keeps recommending to me Vice videos from 7 years ago, n they're so good.
This looks so fun. I would totally do this if i had more confidence to hitchhike.....and had friends
Charlie Crome i have no friends but the courage. Hit me up bud, let's travel lol
If you wait around for people to travel with, you may never do it
@@nightfighter7452 REalized the same thing and decided to go alone. Once I started I got a buddy with me who hooked on the idea.

Krab krust tv2 same 😂🤦🏽♂️
Aye what’s up fellas...no body told me shit.🖕🏽
Just popped into my suggestions today and it's December 2019 lol... I wonder why it's recirculating so long after
I’m from the future bro I’m in 2020
Hey don't feel bad... I just found it now in 2020! Been watching every season since midnight!✌️
How about from Vladivostok to Moscow for season 4?
They would die.
they should try middle east. that would be fvked up LOL
yotsub29 That would be boring, shitty and dangerous. Muslims behead Christians regularly in the middleeast, It is full of tribal, stone-age warfaring people, it's a shitty desert, they don't like foreigners. Essentially, that's a horrible idea.
Jtheman i know. just being an ass like david and harry lmao.. they would end prolly in the desert tied up kidnapped by effin radicals
yotsub29 Everyone in the middle east is a radical, they'd all kidnap them
This is the most inspiring series i have ever seen. I wish one day i could be doing exactly what these lads are doing :)
This is the first time seeing this one for me but I remember seeing the first Thumbs Up on Vice in 2011 or so. Probably the best thing Vice has ever done IMO
All of these series are pure entertainment. Great human skills.
Nice
Holy shit vice is getting it's own channel??
Yes. I’m just here to answer your question seven years too late.
Yes
lol 7 years ago
So many UA-cam OGs. Glad to see we all made it. :)
Own TV channel now too lol who woulda thought.
I have seen 2 of his video series hittchhiking usa and china and i think i heard "thumbs up" enough times for the rest of my life...

Thumbs up!

Is this really 10 years old? Wow. Time fucking flew! This is the best VICE had to offer imo
Oh shit! Is this the Great Wall of China?
No, it's right there.
Oh my god! It's the fucking Great Wall of China.

I wish David Choe would do more of these hitchhiking across wherever videos.
who else is here after JRE
I cant believe its the same person
Who’s reading these replies cause they have known about choe and want to see people’s first impressions

I just realized that this is that dude!!!!

"No, it's right there, fool!"
Being from Arizona, I like how Harry always wears that Arizona shirt lol
God damn, the fucking left just destroyed so much. It destroyed Vice completely. Ran it into the fucking ground. This is so fucking rad.
David was the patient x for covid-19
David Choe is the fucking man, hitchiking across everywhere and worth a cool 200 million because of a gamble he took, you sir are a hero.
i got kid napped because of this video. thanks vice

dammit vice please please let this be true...
3 years ago i guess it's not tru
Geekly weekly it is true but David got fired and vice isn't releasing the footage.
Why was he fired?

the first season was awesome
She is finessing. She NOT dealing with they bullshit. She is not translating they bullshit 👌😂

i like how this guy is worth like 200 million and he hitchhikes
I think you're missing the point
Not the point, but also I don't think he was worth that much until after this was made
@@t0ny1189 You're correct. He wasn't worth that until after the show
@@th-mb6qs Right not till Facebook went public.
Its from 2007 he said he turned 33. So 1974 + 33 = 2007
this was/still is my fav vice series
Anyone else for season 4 to be uploaded?
This show should be brought back! David Shoe + Harry Kim = Epic!!!!
Hey Vice! Where is season 4?? I heard David said it was all done except for editing. But it's been quite awhile now! Will it ever get released?
+Jens Roth Probably not, unless Dave has the rights to it. He no longer works for Vice, so it's a long shot.

I'd LOVE to see them travel the original Silk Road from 1000 years ago! (or whenever that was)
Damien X idk if thats possible
The fact that vice is focusing on a guy who eats mac and cheese, is nothing like OG vice. You truly learn so much from this.
Hitchhike North Korea next! Lol
O
Cant believe David Choe is worth $300 million
Love your adventure vids guys! keep up the good work :)
I love the contrast between this show and the ads they have before it
Who else knew about Thumbs Up America before JRE?
I remember when season one was on Netflix in like 2010
Asian Bird Flu on only the third day of filming, AND you're hitching across the country??? Phewww... I'm wishing you the best of luck on not shitting your pants like Alaska 😂
Harry Kim was great in Star Trek: Voyager.
He also was great in his guest role as Mr. Wang on Spencer for Hire.
He was great in the 80's show Sidekicks.
John Caputo His performance as "Short Round" in the second Indy film should have won Best Supporting Actor. But now he's too busy running North Korea to reflect and care about the past.
its fun how you hear those songs played over and over again
China looks amazingly beautiful
YA you can never see the sun!
this is BY FAR the best vice series EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! but i doubt they travel without money cuz David is filthy rich so
I love how David gets progressively sleazier throughout the series
Just found Season 3...Bruuuuh! I love y'all! Been with ya since the 1st one! Love it! Stay Blessed
THUMBS UP SEASON 4 IS OUT

HOLY SHIT! I saw the hitchhiking across America and i thought that that was the only hitchhiking series you guys had done. So exited right now.
