God, David you nailed it. As a first generation Chinese immigrant I've gone through very much the same. To a lesser extent. Rebelled against everything my parents wanted - to be a good Asian boy - tattoos, drugs, alcohol, played cards for a living, didn't speak to them for years. In the end we come full circle. I talk to them again now and they're proud. Not necessarily in the way they'd like me to be. If it was up to my mother we'd be living under the same roof and she'd cook me three meals a day, and I'd obey her every word. It's strange, but I relate to your demons. You can't explain freedom to someone who's not free. We're left feeling the pride we want our parents to feel for ourselves. But that's okay. That's one of the challenges of our generation.

I can't have an honest conversation with my mom without her crying as a consequence.

You've just convinced me to stop trying to make my parents proud and enjoy life.

You'll never know, dear, how much I love you, so please don't take my sunshine away

This man’s art holds no barriers to greatness

More David more. This type of content is perfect for you.

so real, i love my mom. I hope she never dies, she’s like my best friend

“Don’t hit him!” 😂 I didn’t know you had a baby David! Best of luck and prosperity and abundance to you and your future!

David you have no idea how much this opened my eyes. It's like the 5th time I watched this to remind myself of what I want

love you david

i've been feeling like i took the wrong way for some time now. i'm 22, fell into addictions of different forms trying to find a lane that i can call my own and do something that has great impact in this life. that desire 2nd generation immigrants have to make their parents proud is beautiful, but at the same time it can be a roadblock to happiness. i'm starting to see the wrong way can be the right way, that i shouldn't second guess my instincts, even if the consequences of my decisions can keep me up at night. "To get to the right way, I had to take the back door." thank you for sharing a part of your story david, i'm sure it cleared some of the fog in more than just my mind.

My family has been here for at least a few generations and I also just wanted to make my parents proud, we were very poor and I believe that has something to do with it for me. Make them not worry that I will have to suffer in the ways they did.

Honestly I have been a fan for so long. Thank you for your contributions to our life.

Follow your passion! Joy & Bliss!!! Be Grateful!

Anyone disappointed in their kids should only be disappointed in themselves for not doing better or doing more to understand what makes them happy.

Somehow, seeing these videos has given me a bit of a new wind. I’m so tired, thanks for your transparency.

This brings me so much joy.

I absolutely love this format of storytelling, you should deff get more traction on this videos! Keep them coming!

This is outstanding Dave

Damnit, that was beautiful.

Brilliant, love this!

Your videos are really beautiful, Cho

This made me sob deeply…and laugh I love ALL your work

sounds familiar, especially the guilt trip manipulation. i've been doing my best to disappoint my parents, doing what i think is right for myself. thanks for the inspiration dave!

This just help me so much. Thank you David

Love you dave

Thank you David for uploading on here. And thank you for this video especially. I needed this.

This guy is a ture legend

I Love you David Choe, this was truly beautiful.

Same with me. I both love and can't stand my mother.

This one hits so hard

love the way you express your ideas man

Thank you man!

Something in your videos just connects with me (it's almost spiritual), I can't even pinpoint it. Thank you for these!

Thanks man. This is beautuful

David choe your cool af! Amazing story, and your so strong for all the shit you have gone through yet you still kept going

Incredible video! Phenomenal story teller

Thanks Dave!

I wanna make my parents proud too

Love your storys!! Thankyou SO SOO MUCH😊

My parents loved each other so much it's not even funny. Like Dan & Roseanne Conner love. I just wish they could've had the privilage to grow old together. I just want my family to be simply happy. My widowed mother and my 3 younger brothers. It's been a huge struggle since September 13th 2001 when my dad died of cancer at 39 years old and my mom was 35 at the time. Nothing has brought happiness to their lives but, I will die trying to make that happy life for them...Even if I never get to.

these are comedy and Art GOLD brah

Love the video! I actually struggle a lot from the disappointment that i am for my parents and this vid has brought me joy.

awesome video and message ...The wedding paper is just a business agreement for the government or lawyers or tax "them they's " to wave in court when shit goes sideways.

Heii david. It could be really cool if u would make a video, about. How to travel the world the way that, u used to do it. Cause I really want to see the whole world, but dont have much money. So maybe u could make a video called something like. "how to travel the world, like david choe" ? Btw your videos are awesome and really makes me happy. Ur art is so awesome too fr! 🥰

thank you for this

Love your stuff!

I was born on May 13, 2001, mother's day! Ily David. My brother's name is David

Thought you mentioned you were having a baby on your last episode when you talked with Asa Akita, so awesome man, when my daughter was born it blew my mind, I remember thinking, “this tiny person I’m holding in my hands is an entire universe of love and possibilities, it’s my universe, nothing else will compare to this.” And then the worry hit me 😂 but I grew to handle the worry and the weight and happiness of that tiny universe, I love being a dad man, can’t wait to see how your tiny universe inspires your work. You the man! 🤯👍

How sweet of you David

This was great man left me with a good warm hearted feeling, even though I know my moms love is unconditional it gets hard when looking for approval, and considering they’re usually the people in our lives the longest we look to our parents for that. This took some relief off of striving for their approval. Itll happen the way it happens and in the end of it I feel our parents will be proud. I just hope everyone will get to experience that :) THANKS DAVE!

Your new stuff is incredible

The title of this video makes me not wanting to watch but I NEED to watch it for me. Thanks for showing us!

David choe just crying non stop

What a beautiful video.

Your parents totally love you, even if it’s just at that unconditional love stage. My kids say some awful shit to me some days…and still ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

David ! Fucking shit man. Left me speechless! Bravo brother ! You made me tear bro

I’m proud of you

the editing is gowld

David you’re my fuckin hero how did I not know this shit fucking existed never stop creating blease

I can't wait it's been too long since I've seen David.

I can't wait to watch this seven times in a row and then not talk to my parents🤠

Very inspiring! Thank you! 🌟

"intergraton" nice to learn new words everyday

I need David from time to time to put things out of perspective.

Thank you for making this precious video. It inspired me to tell my mom I love her 😊

Amazing, David! I'm a white woman, but your story is parallel==with my story. I grew up among all the NASA kids in Houston, TX, over-achieving Artist and Scientist with mental health issues, addiction. ETC, in Recovery! Thank you! Shei-shei

I have been following your journey since your Netflix show where you hitch hiked all over the USA. I want to resoundingly say: Thank you David! I never found the words able to express how I felt about this issue. The way you articulate, show empathy and tell your side of the issue is truly appreciated. You have a fan for life. Happy holidays to you and your whole family! Many blessings my guy 🙏

love the story telling

Yes

This is fantastic Dave! Thank you.

Love these uploads thx you ...

Bravo

Fucking so relatable, if you say your going fucking do it, fucking do it... honor your word!

Thank you! I needed this.

DOSUME SHIKOBA PRESTO! ADAPTABLE! KEEP THE FAITH RISE ABOVE!

I really don't want this video to end

Always a good day when David choe has something to tell us, dosume

Hey man love the video, as a video production guy I wanted to give you some criticism to help your channel, your whole video is great but your audio just needs one thing, turn the gain down on your mic because the audio is peaking a bit which causes the sound to get a little distorted, I used to do it too, one thing you can do it test speak in the mic and make sure it never goes above either -6db or -3db then it will never distort and then you can raise the volume in editing if you want. That way it will never distort at all! Also wanted to add that I really relate to this video, please don't stop the storytelling content!! (Also you can turn the gain down either on your audio interface or actual mic itself [for example a blue yeti] I think you like talking real close to the mic, and that's my preferred method too, but when you do that you have to turn the gain way down)

I love you

my eyes are pouring and im not even asian . im asian in my soul.

Wow David! I've just discovered these and it's been something I've needed. Immensely greatful for your art and mind sir! Thankyou.

Since I’m a brand new fan from David stealing the show on Beef, I’m lucky that there’s a wealth of material on KZread.

Always been a disappointment and still fucks with me that my died died disappointed with me

wow

I've thought about this question a lot actually. My greatest wish would be to get my hands on a ship. Like get a decent sized vessel that we could load a few well digging trucks on. Then I would want to find an insane crew to not only load and unload the heavy machinery, but also sail the boat, drill wells, make paths for trucks in the jungle, etc... Once this team is assembled, we would travel the Earth providing fresh clean water to remote humans everywhere.

this is great

holy moly
