Former LA City Councilmember Jose Huizar was sentenced to 13 years in prison in a corruption case that involved cash bribes with a local real estate. Owners left for China. Declared bankruptcy. Good luck collecting $ from them. 😅
That method of painting exterior from a rope is called a swing stage or a bosun's chair. It's not bad unless you're scared of heights..lol from a retired wall dog
We have a local "auditor" guy Gabriel whose TH-cam channel "SLO County Observer" here in San Luis Obispo, CA has voluntarily stopped posting videos because the local police encrypted their scanner communications, thereby getting rid of his asinine interference with their investigations, by insulting them. It sucks for me because I can no longer hear their communications now, as an ordinary "citizen". I hope he's back in his mom's house, looking for a real job, and stays off TH-cam... 😉
GIV should definitely get the million subscribers just base on his honesty and genuine personality and humor; u had me laughing when u said, look 2 women walking by themselves in the middle of the night😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good Vlog GIv at 3am. Guy, who wanted a ride home, was hilarious. Crazy incident with hot dog sellers. Cool car from Scott. It will be great to collaborate with him. The cost of secure and preventing further activity is a huge bill to the taxpayers of Los Angeles👍👍👍.
What a JOKE!! paying cops with tax dollars to guard an abandoned building from it being painted with graffiti ART!! With All the Real Crime in the city, they chose the cake walk job of looking for graffiti artists…. What a clown show.
You should definitely do a ride along with Scott. I seen him on the show Shot in the dark on Netflix. It’s definitely interesting what he does. It would make a great video for your channel.
Hi! Fun to see Scott on your page! Love his live feed. He's the best stringer in LA! He made my year in 2020! You should definitely do that ride along! 😊
@@Snk13_ty He gets footage of shootings, high speed chases and any type of activity and sells it to the News. They always compete against eachother to get the only shot or the first shot
That guy with the radio scanners is what they used to call a "stringer" it's someone who will go out, freelance, and take photos of accidents and various newsworthy things. A famous old-time stringer was a guy called "Weegee" who covered Los Angeles in the 1930s - 1950s. It's an old tradition.
If they think a fence is going to stop any graffiti artists from bombing those buildings they are very mistaken, doesn’t matter if it’s the same fence they put around a prison with razor wire, not going to stop them.
I used to skateboard very late in DTLA, Id go to the Ralphs mkt on 9th. Then ride back to 6th /Spring where I lived. Surprisingly no1 ever messed w me. Altho I could make a fast getaway🛹‼️🥰🖤
Your late night hours...have you noticed this started after awhile, when you went on Metformin? As it can cause insomnia and for some people. also another side effect is, running to bathroom a lot which I call a "crap-fest" not fun! 😕 I usually am up til 4am to 5am. I work from home so, I have my own hours. Saturday I worked 16 hrs with breaks in between. Went to bed around 2 am. Watched tv til I fell asleep. Discuss with your doctor about maybe your body clock is messed up becoz of the Metformin. Mine is but it don't matter when I am self employed and work from home lol. Another nice video Mike. That guys is more better equipped with all that gear in his car than some news agencies I think lol....That will be great to do a riodfe along with him some night Mike! Thanks for all you do and and God Bless... 🌺🌺🙏🌺🌺
You make such interesting videos. There’s always something to see in LA. Thank you so much for your content and for the effort it takes to film and edit. You are a sweetheart. Much love to you, GIV. ❤️
I love GIV's outlook on things. He loves his city but recognizes it has problems like anywhere else. He avoids the binary approach of either 1.) Declaring a city a "shithole" and then they aiming to prove that to be true - or - 2.) They pretend a place is perfect and avoid showing its challenges. That's what makes GIV the man.
I was actually watching Chasing Reality OSTV last night and it was so cool when you were on his stream. I always thought that it would be a good idea if you would do Live Streaming and get super chat $$ and donations
@germaninvenice 🌆Hi Mike! Dang you're heck of brave going to Downtown LA🌴at that time by yourself. Hope you don't get jumped by someone. Mike you say $30 for parking in downtown is expensive....In 2009 parking in Downtown LA was $20 to $25 a day. That was hell of expensive for 2009. So for only a $5 increase over 15 years is not that bad. Parking at a hotel in San Francisco in the 1980s was $20.... that's crazy!🌃
I have been watching your videos for years. When I watch your video it reminds me of where I grew up. I was thinking that if you change up your editing just a little bit it would help you get to 1 million subscribers faster.
I was thinking about those buildings that they k e e p doing graffiti on what a waste of time energy and paint bet you don't get paid for it downtown and Venice when I was younger I used to be the place to go no not so much thanks for the video
I was watching Scott live when you ran into each other, it is always so exciting when two people I follow run into each other. I hope you go on that ride along, I think you would enjoy it!
I love all your video's, there great! I look forward to coming home from work and watching them. You should be careful at night where you go though. Hi to your mum, I hope she's doing well ❤❤❤
GiV Thank you for this video! Luv watching all your stuff ! I really did want to see what else was happening to those buildings ! Please be extra careful out there ! ❤❤
Just subscribed !! I love your videos, my heart broke watching the Venice Beach homeless video. I guess all the fun drum circle videos I see on You Tube that happen, they must be old,...before the homeless encampments.
Absolutely, the drum circles have always been a part of the Venice Beach scene as long as I can remember, going back to the 80s at least. Other beaches sometimes also,
Another great video GIV you never know what you run into that time of night. Alot of beer and hot dogs up for grabs lol. Be cool if you get to ride around with that fellow that follows police calls. Great video once again Mike ❤
I never ever get tired of seeing the abandoned buildings w grafitti u keep showing! its the truth when u say how u go out & film & never know what you'll catch 📷📸‼️ Giv so good!
Steadily, some districts in mega-metro-cities are looking like / turning into scenes from the 1981 classic film "Escape from New York." Would GIV be interested in portraying Snake Plissken? (Don't forget the black eye-patch.)
@@t3nosanfran803 I fully remember that movie Escape from New York! 🎬 Seems like since I moved away from DTLA it's got more grafitti zed!? Lol 🎉but that's kind of a cool change 😀😘
Hello again!...I loved your Art gallery tour. I posted on that page. I'm both a fellow Artist, and of German heritage. Both my grandma and grand dad, emigrated from Germany, in the 1890s. It may have been called the Austro-German region. My Pop was born in 1911, in the USA. His folks, my grand parents died when I was quite young and I never knew them. We did't speak German in our household. Man,...when do you sleep? Up at all hours. I'm retired and sleep weird hours too, and I like staying up late. I stay indoors, and well I'm in Ohio, and it is winter and cold. Later.
Looking forward to our RIDE-A-LONG!!

Stay blessed
A lot of people may do the scanner thing but you make things more interesting.

agree
Many thanks to German in Venice. We try to watch every one of your videos. Many thanks again and be safe. 6:25
You’re updates on the towers are the best man! Keep doing your thing. Very entertaining GIV!!
This is history my friend… thanks for documenting it from your perspective… the world has never seen anything like this before.
Scott Lane and the GiV, 2 Legends! Been watching Scott for years… nice video Mike!
Those bacon wrapped hot dogs sold from sketchy carts like that are a big thing up here in San Jose. We call 'em "Danger Dogs" haha.
Loved your art exhibition I shared it with my 18 year old artsy fartzy granddaughter she was so amazed
GIV should definitely get the million subscribers just base on his honesty and genuine personality and humor; u had me laughing when u said, look 2 women walking by themselves in the middle of the night😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Even if it's boring or over publicated you original take on it will always be entertaining 🎉
The GIV is always so amazed at everything!…

Sweet soul
Hi! Fun to see Scott on your page!
Love his live feed. He's the best stringer in LA!
He made my year in 2020!
You should definitely do that ride along! 😊
For curiosity sake, what do you mean by stringer?
NOT.. the best ! Sorry he's a wanna be. Can't you tell , with the scanners the lite. Antennas. Get a real job .

Great coverage GIV! Man I get shaky just climbing a ladder can't imagine repelling from 50 stories up!
'to repel' is to successfully defend against an attack. the word you want is 'rappel'.
Can't wait to see ya do a ride along...,.

Be careful out there, GIV. Crazy and unimaginable things happen during those hours in LA.
I used to skateboard very late in DTLA, Id go to the Ralphs mkt on 9th. Then ride back to 6th /Spring where I lived. Surprisingly no1 ever messed w me. Altho I could make a fast getaway🛹‼️🥰🖤
I used to go for nice walks late at night. It was relaxing. But now I'm indoors before it gets dark .❤😊
LA is a total cesspool, just like the rest of Kalifornia. The libtarts have destroyed the once beautiful state. RIP Kali!
I call that time frame purge hours lol. Whenever I'm in LA I'm usually back in the hotel by sunset
@@Montanez823 times have changed. Too many mental ill homeless ppl out there
I knew the GIV would come through for me. Thanks Mike. 👋
Another new word, Mike... SAUT is jump in French. Thankfully he didn't jump while rappelling! lol
Enjoyed it Mike... thank you❤
Wow, Scott on the GIV. Maybe do a show someday with him? Keep it up.

When I was in elementary back in 1973 my teacher once said America is a land of Milk and Honey

Crazy that hotdog carts can sell beer at 3am. In my town you can't buy anything outside of a licensed bar after 9pm
GIV, there are two words that sound similar: rappel/repel. What the guy did on the side of the building is rappel.
I watch that guy's video's all the time on TH-cam, he's very good.
I loved Shot in the Dark.. Cool you ran into Scott

Hey GIV we really dig your videos, from St Louis MO. We would rather watch your videos than our local news cast, for sure!!!!!! What!!!!!!!!!!!!?
I love these casual documentaries! Greetings from a fellow Krefelder :)
Thank you GIV for all your hard work.
Random guy at 5:55 with the red bandana was like “OHHHH, Bacon wrap ground hot dog is fine with me” as he picks one up 😂🌭

I saw you last weekend in front of your building, I was too shy to say hi but it was cool to see you in person!
You never need to be shy around Mike
Next time say hi
Don't be shy my friend, Mike ain't going to bite u

I still want to see a mural of Hans Gruber on the building, seems like you have your nights & days mixed up like a 3rd shift worker.
Epic idea!💯
whoa... Scott 'Chasing Reality' Lane has a hell of a setup in his media machine dodge. impressive 👍🏽
I love the tager towers updates . 👍 One every other day would be tubular .
GIV always has something interesting.
Really enjoying LA at night, great videos from the GIV!
Scott's a good dude. Also would love to see you doing some stringer calls in LA.

Sad to see the food wasted . . ..
Even more sad to know how it happened.
Peace be with you on your travels.
They probably toss the ones they don't sell anyways. This just saved someone from an explosive night on the toilet
On scene guy had great energy... can tell he loves what he does.
GIV your videos are the bomb brother god bless you man 👍😃👍✌️
Sidewalk vendors can sell beer? That seems not so good.
You can't drink in public at 3 AM so yea... all illegal
