Dammit i uploaded the wrong video... The coloring is so damn warm. It bothers me.
DavidSoComedy how's your day?
I only clicked after you changed the thumbnail because I didn’t about Mr Anthony. But now I do.
I dig it, i wouldn’t have noticed it if you hadn’t pointed it out.
It’s too late man, the video is seen.
David So, we don't give a fuck about all that warm color shit! Just happy you uploaded a video.👍
David you don’t know how many people see you as their Anthony Bourdain. Thank you for everything.

💯💯 I used to struggled with Asian phobia, it was so bad. I fell into a deep depression and had suicidal thoughts. Thanks to David So, I overcame that & now I’m enjoying life. That’s why I have so much respect for him.
You took the words out of my mouth!
I remember reading this quote i dont remember word for word but it goes like this, “ No one wants to kill themselves no one does. Imagine depression like this, you’re at the 7th floor of an apartment complex and theres a rampant fire. You look down and you know you dont wanna jump but the fire is coming closer and closer. No one wants to jump but some people do because no one also wants to burn to death. That is depression.” Now what like David said you just have to pull thru they’re firefighters on the other side of the door you just need to wait.
“The so-called ‘psychotically depressed’ person who tries to kill herself doesn’t do so out of quote ‘hopelessness’ or any abstract conviction that life’s assets and debits do not square. And surely not because death seems suddenly appealing. The person in whom Its invisible agony reaches a certain unendurable level will kill herself the same way a trapped person will eventually jump from the window of a burning high-rise. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire’s flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It’s not desiring the fall; it’s terror of the flames. And yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling ‘Don’t!’ and ‘Hang on!’, can understand the jump. Not really. You’d have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling.” - David Foster Wallace
I feel like its more "theres a person on the seventh floor; him and his building is on fire. The savior is close on the other side of his door but he cant survive another second being consumed by the fire. Even after hes saved without know hes consumed by fire again and again day by day week by week year by year. As seconds go by he thinks even though he can be saved hell only have to be saved again. Stuck with the choice; end the pain of being consumed by eternal fire or persevere until hes saved."
aznwinterfresh05 Wow ty for finding the quote good person!!
yeah, it's more like a vicious constant cycle that never ends..... you have gone through this so many times before and eventually you just get tired of it and see no other escape than to end it once and for all....
You don't wanna die but you cannot endure living anymore either.
These are the moments when I really appreciate David's videos. Other people avoid these issues like the plague while David actually makes it discussable.
Same here. He has a great way of making a tough topic like this approachable. I’m going to share this among my little circle, maybe someone needs to hear this too, and it could get them to open up.
My dad said the same thing when he heard the news, “He’s so successful, why would he do that?” And he was adamant that it was an external event that caused Bourdain’s suicide. I had to explain to him that depression is mostly an internal struggle and rarely is it ever the case that an outside event pushes someone to take their own life. It was frustrating to explain to him these things because he doesn’t know that I’ve gone through depression myself and I never wanted to tell him because I thought he would say the same exact thing: “What do you have to be depressed about?” It’s hard to explain these kinds of things to people with a narrow world view.
external events create internal struggles
And there goes an opportunity to educate those who do not know...thanks for that...smh...
@GARS Right. I suffer from clinical anxiety. I do well with therapy so most people who know me aren't privy to the fact that I have a disorder. Occasionally I will casually talk about mental disorders in terms of specific people and if the response is, "they have no reason to be sad [or fearful]", I know that the person just doesn't get it. It isn't that the listener is cruel or thoughtless, they just don't understand what these disorders are about.
GARS Your dad is Asian i bet?
sayjai bao I got it from my Greek mother... but stress is a major factor in anxiety disorders.
I never met him either but the way he was on television felt like you traveled around the world with him
Tony Bourdain's closing monologue on the last episode of No Reservations before he moved to CNN
"It's been a wild ride. A lot of miles, a road sometimes smooth, sometimes hard and ugly. And I guess I could tell you that if you look hard enough, that just next door is just as interesting as the other side of the world, but that's not exactly true. If I do have any advice for anybody, any final thought, if I'm and advocate for anything, it's to move as far as you can, as much as you can, across the ocean or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in somebody else's shoes or at least eat their food, it's a plus for everybody. Open your mind, get up off the couch, move"
RIP Tony
holy shit you can really tell hes lost weight!! congrats david
Kurisuchan yeah I was thinking the same thing
I know right. I thought I he was a Fung bro 🤣
Yeah he looks great seems happier
Kurisuchan David So Skinny
I get goosebumps every time I see the new David.
One of the most remarkable things about Anthony Bourdain was his constant, unpretentious emphasis on how food and culture are not isolated from the sociopolitical history of a place, something most food journalists pointedly skip over. There are people and stories behind that plate of food and he always sought to bring light to that in the most organic and unfiltered fashion. I have always admired that. I haven’t been this upset about someone’s passing since Jonghyun of SHINee passed in December. It’s hard to explain how it affects you when someone that influenced your life makes such a decision even if you didn’t know them personally, but I’m glad you understand.
When you see Cambodian eat spiders you'll say ewwww. ...Bourdain investigates why.
Preach brother. I followed him and he just had this character and aura about him that people just loved and gravitate to. He was straight forward asf. The OG for traveling FOODIES. Rest in Paradise!
If David, the guy who speaks about the fact that Korean culture completely dismisses depression can say that it has nothing to do with whether you're successful or not, proves that it's real and material stuff can't fill a void
You described my ex-girlfriend. She was depressed because she convinced herself that she would never get anywhere in life because most people at our age have kids and we didn't. Because of that, she put way too much pressure on me to get her pregnant. She even entertained the idea of getting another guy getting her pregnant and passing it off as ours. And that's why she cheated on me.
I was suicidal because of her. But I broke up with her and saved my life.
I'm 30 and I want to move out because my parents are still control freaks. They suffer this delusion that I'm unable to take care of myself. If my parents wasn't like this, I wouldn't mind living with them. I don't consider myself to be failure because I'm still living with my parents.
I've started my own blogging business. I won't make any money anytime soon. But I still consider my business a success because after years of trail and error, preparation and planning, I'm doing something I've always wanted to do.
Best of luck
Keep grinding dude 🙏🏼
Damn nigga may *_Buddha_* bless ur soul
This was and is a total shock when I found out he died. Anthony Bourdain opened up the world to us through his work. Love his character and attitude.
I cried so much when Jonghyun from SHINee died and no one could understand why I was crying over someone I've never met.
Same
This happened with me with David Bowie. I never understood people crying over celebrities. Like I just never got it. When David Bowie died in 2016, I legitimately fell into like a deep depression. The man was my idol, so like I get where you're coming from. His passing affected me deeply, I see the same with David So and Anthony Bourdain
as someone who has pulled through depression and anxiety and overwhelming thoughts, PERSPECTIVE IS EVERYTHING!!! It permeates every aspect of your life and unless you change your perspective you'll be stuck. I've learned that much.
David, I just want you to know that, you've affected all of our lives in some way. May not be for everyone who watches you but most of us. What you're doing is good. It's positive and it is a legacy. All of those videos you've made, I'm really thankful and grateful for them. It makes my life better. I learn a lot from you. Whatever you do, just know that a lot of us will remember you to our graves. I hope to meet you. I hope to make a conversation and work with you someday. I want you to know how much you've affected my life. Thank You. Thank You.
Thanks so much for sharing this video David. I've suffered with depression for the longest time and your videos have always helped me over the years. Not only have you made me laugh every time I felt down but you're also one of the most genuine UA-camrs out there! Hearing you open up about your own struggles and what it really means to be happy, is something a lot of people need to hear ❤️
Wow. 8:40 into the video and I was uncontrollably sobbing. Thank you.
Anthony Bourdain is my inspiration to how to see the world. He will always be the one that opened up the world to me.
He was a idol of mine growing up and will be dearly missed. I started to rewatch some of his shows and started to cry. A truly influential man in the food world.
This is why i admire David. Much I look up to him as like a mentor and I see what he means throughout his videos, rip Anthony and thank you David
Anthony Bourdain was the greatest storyteller. It always felt like I was traveling around the world with him and I'm so happy he did an episode here in Taiwan. I also wish he knew how much he meant to the world. I miss his unique voice guiding everywhere. Irreplaceable.
That man and his show were such a huge part of my childhood. One of the only times I can remember my whole family sitting and watching like anything together. Wanted to cry so badly when i heard the news. RIP
8:33 fuck. I started tearing up when you said “if you don’t find value in yourself, if you don’t find value in your life, I’m telling you there’s something there...but you gotta push through it.”
your words hit home so badly.
You already are an inspiration. You're my idol. I grew up rough and angry but eventually became weak, depressed and scared of failure. You help me be who I am. To always speak my mind yet still be a helping hand. To guide people. To guide myself when no one else will. Thank you for that.
I understand how you feel
crying over someone you never met
I wanna say Thank you for doing this
you definitely have an impact on my life personally
i'm sure i'm not the only one
i did have suicidal thoughts and it's hard sometimes to fight them
i still have depression but what you do really does help
you're really awesome David and you definitely deserve much better
and you deserve to know how awesome you are!
i felt the same way. i was more sad hearing bourdains death than at my own grandmothers funeral, just showed me how much influence he had through his stories and travels
Amen David! You hit that on the head. I felt the same about Anthony Bourdain when i woke up and saw all the articles screaming about his passing. Being "wealthy and famous" does not exempt people from being sad and depressed.
I love this David, well said 💖 Rest In Peace Anthony Bourdain xx
This video actually moved me to tears. Telling myself that certain feelings and thoughts are only temporary is what gets me through every single day
Thanks David... looking good
Tony meant the world to me as well. In 2014 I was at the height of my depression - my employers were gaslighting and bullying me to the point of considering suicide, and one of the few things that kept my going was the weekly release of Parts Unknown. Something about his voice soothed me. His message played to my cynicism, while also telling me that everything was alright in the world. His death shattered me to my core, and he will be missed.
That last part where you were talking about having value and getting out of a dark hole really hit me. I've felt suicidal for a while and it just really struck a chord with me. Thank you, David.
i didnt get to meet him...he was in louisiana...ate at several local places...he had dinner at the restaurant i work at...partied with close friends of mine. he shed such a light on cajun culture...vietnamese culture...louisiana will miss him r.i.p bourdain
Exact same sentiments, David. Anthony Bourdain, his work and now his passing affected me in a way that surprised me. I also agree about your views on depression. It does help a lot when someone grabs onto your hand when you need to be pulled out. I’ve been there a lot of times especially with all the medical issues I’ve been facing but I’m grateful for the people that NEVER allow me to stay in that funk. It’s so easy to say I give up and throw in the towel but allowing your support system to help you find value in yourself even when it’s really rough in your world helps counter that feeling until eventually you’re out of it. The journey is never easy but it can be done. It doesn’t always have to end in a bad way....Rest in peace, Anthony Bourdain. You will be missed ❤️🙏🏼
David, glad you made the time to share your insights on depression. In addition to reaching out and having a support system, I would encourage peeps to tell their beloveds how much they are cherished...blessings to all...🙏
Thanks David. Not that I look forward to those times where I’ll need someone to pull me out of it but I’m happy to have this video for that extra push. It means a lot, I appreciate everything you do.
I cried over him too. Thank you for making me understand or at least put into words why I felt what I felt over his passing. Thank you. ❤️
David I love how you explain things and how deep and emotional you make your videos. You care so much and it shows. You’re leaving your mark in everything you do rn. I’ve never met you, but I feel almost a connection with you. Keep doing what you’re doing
This is my first comment on a youtube video ever, only because your words were what I needed to hear at this very moment. The way that you see Anthony Bourdain is the way that I see you. I cannot put into words how much I appreciate you and the content that you create. Thank you.
David I want to thank you for talking about depression... i have been dealing with it for more than a year and you've always been such an inspiration and i am so thankful for all your life advices, for everything you've done. Thank you so much man you mean so much to me.
David looking skinnier than me good shit man I'm proud of you. We lost a great man in Anthony Bourdain. This death really hit me he was so good at bringing people together and letting us see different perspectives. Please y'all if you are feeling depressed reach out to someone you are too important for us to lose you, peace.
thanks david.. i've been following jk and barbell brigade for a while now and you've always been that funny guy who pops up once in a while and cracks a joke but lately I've been looking at your videos and it's inspiring to see how motivated you are. I'm going through a difficult time and I can relate to what you and bourdain went through. My parents worked their ass off to make something good for our family so that I could receive an education in one of the best universities in the world. I've worked hard to get where I am and even had some early success in my field, but I struggled in my graduating year and got a terrible grade. I havent told any of my friends about this because everyone looks up to me and expected me to do well. It feels horrible to have let down my family but I'm really grateful to have their support. I've been trying to pick myself up from it but it's been difficult as I feel like I'm doing this all alone. All this has made me rethink what I really wanted to do for the rest of my life. Will keep pushing on, and I hope you do too. One day I'll start something on my own and I know I owe it to no one else but myself and those closest to me to make good of this life.
The world would be a worse place without you, David. No matter how successful you are or not, your insight has moved a lot of people. Your words have inspired many. I only wish to see you grow and enjoy every experience you go through. Take everything one step at a time. You are an inspiration.
We are so emotional because he changed and inspired us in such a magical way. It wasn't just about the food, but the connection created through his relationships.
This loss can be very contagious, a huge loss like this can deeply affect our mindset of the purpose we have. My hope to those who are hurt, let us praise and remember his legacy and continue what he inspired.
I've been in bed since finding out about his death...his show was my go to whenever my little sister would be in the hospital and after she died. Just hearing him talk about the places he went to, the food he ate...they gave me hope seeing such a wonderful world. I can't believe he's gone, my heart feels empty. Thanks David for sharing this, love you dude.
Thank you so much for this. I wanted to confess, you are that Bourdain for me.
Consuming what you've created and following you living your life to the fullest has given me such a big perspective on my own life. I've had depression for the longest time and It's taken me a while to truly appreciate and love myself but you are one of the many who have helped me realize that I matter. So here's to you as well, David. Thank you for sharing and I'll never forget what you've taught me.
Thank you David so much. Honestly this is so very helpful especially to me because I'll go through times in my life where I feel like I'm nothing but to see how much you care enough to tell us fans that it'll get better, thank you
I loved this video. Thank you for sharing. I was absolutely gutted when I found out about his passing too. He was truly an ambassador of the world but stayed true to himself until the end
David I'm so proud of you for everything you have accomplished. As I'm deeply saddened by Anthony's passing and the reasons for his passing, I'm am so glad that you are here to share a positive message and positive vibes. I had the privilege to meet you when you came to the Univerity of Illinois and I was just getting out of class when I saw you were in the UIUC quad and my friend and I went to come see you and it was honestly such a great experience. You are an inspiration to us all and you share such a positive and REAL message. It's hard to find content creators that are so genuine and wholesome and I think you are the spitting image of that. Congrats bro and keep up the good work. Also your weight loss story is truly inspirational and I'm so proud of how far you've come. You look great man! Thanks for the vids and just keep doing you ya know :)
You hit the nail on the head David. I didn't expect to cry for a whole day for a celebrity. But then I realized how much he taught me, how he opened up the world to me, and how for a long time I've made it a point to eat what others are, to experience the culture through food was something he taught me and I'll never forget that. It got me hard because this time last year I was suicidal. For 2 months. I've been battling depression for 3 years now. Thank you for your kind words. We all lost an amazing human being this week, I just wish he knew how amazing he was. Rest in peace.
Thank you David. This really hit home. Thanks for sharing and being so honest and vulnerable with your internet community
I can relate. Where I live and grew up in has felt like a little bubble. Travel channel and Food Network had opened my eyes. The one person who taught me to be more open was Andrew Zimmern.
Thank you for bringing this up.
An amazingly insightful and respectful video as always David! Your videos are always a lovely treat I can indulge myself in since they are so few and far in between. I actually never knew Anthony Bourdain until actually watching his original show. He truly paved the way of experiencing a culture through food. It was always a way for me to learn about a new place I travelled to through their food. I hope he rests in peace. As for you David, keep up the amazing work and that hustle. All your food spots are on my checklist whenever I visit LA!
same here man, i felt his passing as well. he really touch so many people
This was a really powerful video with some great messages thanks David.
I always loved all your work. But this one by far is my favorite. Your honesty n humbleness is amazing. Thank you as this video open my eyes again. It was exactly what I needed. Sometimes life gets hard but we forget to just be grateful.. Thank u
thank you for this David
much love
I never comment on UA-cam videos but I commend you for bringing so much attention to depression. I struggle with major depressive disorder and I can definitely tell you that it doesn't matter how much money you make depression still there. Thanks David though for making me smile when I don't feel like it. I appreciate the videos you make and the time you put into it and I hope you read this.
Much love
Shay
Everytime I feel down in my life, David comes out with a video talking about something I’m going through as well. David you have left a legacy already, you impacted my life and I hope you achieve what you want
Thank you for this video, David. I've been battling so many ups and downs in my life and at one point I really thought suicide was the only choice I had. But I kept thinking of every important person in my life and how it would affect them and I always kept trying to find the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for reminding me again things will get better.
You are one cool dude.. keep doin you David. I’m learning a lot from you
Oh man.. this really spoke volumes to me. I’m going through some tough times but I have a bad habit of trying to do it all alone. I’ll try to reach out to my support group more often. Thanks David
David, I respect you a lot. I feel how genuine you are and I like what you're doing on this channel. This life advice has helped me figure out the true meaning of living.
david, thanks so much for your thoughtful videos. you truly offer unique perspectives. never stop what you're doing
David you help me today when I had thoughts of death in my head. Words save life and your words stood out to me and impacted my way of thinking. Thank you 💛
Hey David I just want to say thank you for talking about this and how we have so many perspectives of this topic. And I liked what you said about how society tells us what achieving happiness or success is, and it can mean so many things for many people and I appreciate that. I also appreciate what you said that our feelings we may have about our current situation or past thoughts are only temporary. It will past and it does. And at one point and even now there are times that I felt very low and to be reminded that its okay to ask for help or even more help from your friends or your support group. Because we all REALLY MATTER and I just really want to thank you for David. It made me smile today 😁💕
You really moved me David, tears have been shed and you helped me get through the day ❤️
David I could see the honesty in your words and the weight of it all. Honestly I appreciate and respect you. And love your view on life. ❤️☺️
Thank you so much for this video. Your points are so valid and your delivery is always so touching. RIP Anthony Bourdain. As you probably already know he was a great ambassador for BJJ and his transformation through that is also another aspect that I valued and it reaffirmed my own thoughts about the art and the way it changes lives. Keep doing what you are doing David, it brings me joy to see you change your life through Muay Thai working out like BJJ did for me. Your legacy and work has definitely affected me in a positive way. Thank you
Seeing so many ppl from around the world in so many languages talk about how deeply his work affected them proves how powerful he was and will always be. He is beyond an icon, he is a legend and one of the best storytellers and journalist in history. The world will be different without him.
Hey David, I've been a subscriber of yours since 2011, and I appreciate everything you've done on your channel from entertainment, to cooking, to real-life talk, so for that I want to thank you.
I completely agree with all the things you've pointed out in the video, about how we shouldn't perceive happiness by other's definition of it. I've recently got dumped in a relationship, and it really made me think. Because of how I only perceive happiness through relationship, when it's gone, I just felt empty, sad, no point of doing anything. I'm 25, I feel stuck in life, not happy with where I am. But instead of feeling sorry for myself, I've decided to change; not only physically, but mentally as well. For the past 2 months now, I workout 7 days a week, listen to Successful Stories on Podcasts, Reading More Books, and even picked up couple of online courses to improve myself on. And throughout all those stuff, what really stuck to me was something similar to what you've said about happiness. To me, Happiness comes from within yourself, you can happy whenever you want, and we shouldn't only depend on an outside source such as some thing, or someone for happiness, because... when that some thing or someone is gone, what would we have left? Nothing. That's my take in happiness right now, and I'd say I'm a lot more happy than before, after realizing that concept.
David keep doing what you do, and I wish you best of luck.
Ahh, this is why I love you David. So open-minded and sensitive towards these topics. You're so great. RIP Anthony Bourdain
love this video; it's thought-provoking and it really pushes us to look at the big picture. You've grown so much and I've been a follower of your for years.
I fucking love David's videos. They're so deep and he's so humble and he knows things that others most likely won't know. He grew up not having everything and somehow when he got all of what he has he still stayed humble and is such a great person.
Thanks David. I did cried when I heard the news till now I still have a hard time accepting it. Your video did ease up some pain I had about Anthony Bourdain. Rip Tony
David So the mudda wiseman. I’m going through depression and it sucks. Thanks for the word of encouragement. Happiness is totally subjective and one must value oneself more than what other perceive us.
I couldn’t have said it better. It was our privilege to witness the many adventures by an amazing human being. RIP Anthony.
Wow...i literally started crying while watching this video...you talking about depression helps me so much...thank you 💕
Just wanted to say that you’ve accomplished your goal David! You have inspired and motivated so many people (me being one of them) and we truly appreciate you
You are amazing, David! And your words inspiring! Almost brought me to tears with this video. Looking forward to seeing more of you! Take care~
Thanks David!! I really needed this ^^ so happy your doing what you love and not letting anyone tell you otherwise
Very well-spoken video man. I've been watching you since the UCLA video days. I wanted to say that I always appreciate your genuine approach to life. This video struck home with me because I was suffering from depression about a year ago, but I was fortunate enough to have a support group around me to help me get through it. Hopefully, this video will further show people how important they are as an individual on this earth. Keep up the good work, David! And I hope one day I'll be able to meet you and tell you what an impact you made in my life.
Keep up the good work david!😍❤
Rip anthony bourdaine, he will be missed but not forgotten😭
Such great words I really needed man. God bless all y’all man. One day at a time, keep moving forward
I watched his shows, and read his books. I loved the way he wrote. It was brutal, honest, and snarky at times. It made me laugh and I felt as if I was there in those kitchens with him. When I heard about what happened...I cried. He inspired me to travel and eat foods that I never would have even thought of touching.
Hey man I just want to say thank you. To be honest I haven't watched your videos very much recently but your past recent 3 posts have been so great. I really appreciate your perspective on health and happiness. Your goals are on point and I really identify with them. Great job man just wanna say keep up the great work and go at your own pace. Cheers buddy.
The way you felt about his passing was the same way I felt when I heard that Mr. Rogers (from Mr. Rogers Neighbourhood for those who dont know) had passed. Never met the guy but i just felt such sadness in that moment. At the same time i thought about how mich good hed done through his show and how it helped me and a lot of other people realize that, hey you are good enough. You just try your best and good things will come to you. You dont have to be good at EVERYTHING as long as you are being your best and kindest self.
Listening to you talk I feel like you are such a wise soul. Love you David I can't wait to see what kind of videos or stuff you are a part of next.
amazing
inspirational!! david YOU ARE LIKE HIM! you’re inspiring us & opening up a conversation that is so important in our communities today.
Thank You ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Totally needed to see this video and hear your words. Thank you for everything that you do, David!
Hey, I look up to you David. The same way you do for Anthony.
This one really helped me w/ my "depression"
Tks man.
You have been inspiring me for years and you will be that for years to come. David thank you!
I feel you Man he was one of my Idols.
I grew up watching his shows exploring food and other culture through his "T.V" eyes.
May he R.I.P
The kind of happiness you get from achieving your goals is ephemeral since the thing about goals, success or dreams is that it's not about the goal but the journey you make to get it. Once you've achieved it your happiness will last just a few moments since the journey has come to an end, and you'll have to find a new goal/dream.
Couldn't have said it better. Keep up the hard work David, you've definitely made an impact for many and that legacy that you mentioned is something I aspire to as well, right there with you bro
That was amazing David. You're such a blessing. Thank you
I feel you David, going through some mental struggle being on my own from family at the age of 23. Money is definitely not the meaning of happiness but the way society has drilled that mentality into us is toxic. I won’t lie and say that I don’t need money because I do but I am trying to find value is what I have to feel a little better about myself. I take a step back and think of how I felt when I left family. The ambition and the excitement of being free was what made me take the first step and when I see how life just fucks me in the ass. I try and remember that feeling of excitement to get me through.
4:10 this is exactly what I needed to hear, some guy told me off for the color of my skin even though I wasn't doing anything, and I literally just came home and started watching this. Made me feel 10x better about it, his world is small and so he doesn't understand, and doesn't realise everybody is different. thanks David!
