    I have an elder friend of mine who's in his 60s now. He grew up and lived all over the South. He has a ton of hitchhiking stories. He started hitchhiking when he was 15 in the early 70s, he told me about the time when him and his buddy were picked up by a Motorcycle Club/Gang in New Mexico and they partied with them for a few days,he has a similar story to David Choe's where a preacher picked him & his buddy up in Texas and the preacher got them drunk & try to come on to them while they were passed out. He said him & his friend hitchhiked everywhere together and were best friends, they got arrested trying to get a ride on a freeway on-ramp. They took him to jail and his friend to juvie(18 & 17), they let him go a day later and he tried to find his friend, he said he called the detention center and they told him that they didn't have anyone by that name and he was never able to find him & never saw him again. This guy has a ton of interesting stories, I need to film him telling these stories or record them or something

    He is absolutely correct. People will bare their souls and tell you the most stunning things about themselves, the most appalling personal secrets that they'd NEVER tell anyone, because, as a total stranger who they will never see again, the act of confession is extremely cathartic.

    I began hitching in 2015 and to date it is the best decision I have ever made. I'm nowhere near as well traveled as him but I put around 8000 miles under my belt in five years. I never see myself stopping. The world is too big to sit in one corner and call it good. I've met some wonderful people, some insane individuals, some lonely but lovely souls, and some desperate disasters...and I've loved every minute of it looking back.

    He made a good point when he talked about receiving help. For men that might be the hardest things to do I feel, it’s much easier to help others then it is to except the help of others. That means letting go of your pride and having the humbleness of spirit to receive. That’s the key.

      True when he also said he is apart of a men’s group. I was like I going to look into that. In Sought ca they have things like that. This quarantine really messed me up for minute. I had to to reach out to a therapist. I’m doing much better now. Glad I asked for help. Think of it staying in house 2.5 months. Wow. I began using the calm app as well. It was a huge help with dealing with anxiety. I’m using the 30 day beginning mediate part of the app. So that has helped me and also checking on different friends each week. Helps me get the focus off myself.

    To everyone who’s confused about the guy’s jobs, he said that he had a family and a normal life before everyone found out he was gay, so he probably was anesthesiologist for a long time, but after his life fell apart and he lost credibility, he probably needed to get another part time job in order to support himself

      Michael true story: I was driving a car from Chicago to St. Paul Minnesota, was out in the middle of bumfuk nowhere Wisconsin, nothing but cornfields and dairy farms as far as the eye could see in all directions. 1978, I am 22 years old. Up ahead I see a black dude thumbing a ride so I pull over and he gets in. He looks strangely familiar, like I know this guy from somewhere, you ever have this happen? I'm taking occasional peeks at him, quick surreptitious glances, and eventually he gets kind of spooked, and he says what you looking at me like that for? And then it hits me and I ask him is your name Tom? And he jolts like I touched him with a cattle prod and says how'd you know? And I laugh and say Tom Smith! I remember you! You sat next to me in 6th grade in Mr. Jones's class in school. And slowly he looks at me and recognizes me; I have a full beard now & we haven't seen each other for 11years but we both laugh and now he's at ease. I don't ask him how he happened to find himself where we are (I don't want to know) but I drop him off right at the front door of his house and we parted ways, never to meet up again. Absolutely freaky coincidence...

    His presence in Roadrunner about Anthony Bourdain was beautiful and sad. He’s so alive, I love people like that. Omg He’s right about hitchhiking storytelling😳. I’ve hitchhiked in the Yucatán and Maui, the stories get shadowy no doubt and the connections are potent, never forgetting someone you meet in passing is a trip.

    I went to California in 1978 with my girlfriend. I was 22. We were from the UK, and both of us used to hitch around back then, completely safely. The idea was for us both to hitch up the coast stopping off at various places till we got to San Francisco. I turned on the news in our motel in LA, and there was a girl with no arms who was campaigning to say how dangerous it was to hitch rides. She was a hitcher, got picked up by a truck driver.....he tried to rape her and when she struggled he chopped off both her arms! .....we decided against it and took the greyhound bus instead! the US is still the most violent country I've ever been to. Downtown LA and Hollywood were very scary places back then after dark. gun fire, burning cars at the side of the road.

      Downtown L.A. and Hollywood are still very scary places, especially after 5 PM. I was in US in 2010, me and a couple of friends were walking through downtown L.A and I've never seen anything like it, after 5PM all the bums, beggars, junkies and basically the whole underworld and underground starts to appear on the streets while all the normal people disappear. We rented an apartment in East Hollywood and were shocked to see what kind of people occupy the streets and corners there. You get bothered at every corner and cursed at by scum. Same thing was in downtown Las Vegas at evening hours and in New York. And I come from poor, war torn and problematic Southeastern Europe, but US was the most scary place I've seen.
