Your videos are so delightful. I watch your videos not knowing that I am smiling through them the whole time. Your love of the world makes your fans LOVE the world. You spread joy.
I've lived in L.A. for going on 40 years and have never,never, never been to the Rose Bowl flea market and now having seen it through the eyes of GiV I can honestly say I will probably give a pass on it for at least another 40 years. Some things are best laid to rest. But thanks to Mike for gutting it out for us.

I love picking at flee markets/ swapmeets/ tiangius but the rose bowl is a whole different ballpark. Don't go there looking for any sort of deal, its really only for the novelty of going there to be seen or for the movie studios to buy props.
$10/$20? 🤪 What a rip off! That's just greed, as im sure the sellers already pay for their pitch. I'd rather go to Goodwill, and save the money for a nice lunch.
I got to the Rose Bowl flea market at eleven o clock. I found a Slingerland tenor banjo that the instrument hawks missed. The pot and resonator were in good shape but the fret board and the skunk stripe were made with sap wood because it soaked up the black die so good but had to have rotted with in months of it being sold. Had to make a new neck, but I saved it from becoming a five string, which is what happens to most of these in the US.
Hey man I wanted to let you know that im so grateful for your videos!So much bullshit on youtube now but you sir are a shining star!Thank You for your smile and positive vibes!!!
I wouldnt mind spending 10.00. Ypu would pay that to go to a museum. This is like a museum. And so much art! I love antiques and oddities/curiosities. I would be in my element for sure. But not ready to be around that many people just yet. Plus im in Canada. But ty for the video!
I would think it would be cheaper to go early. I love flea markets and would love to go to this one.. it looks amazing... thanks For getting this out to us...
Hey Mike... you forgot to mention that Michael Jackson preformed super bowl halftime show at Rose Bowl Stadium in 1993 and it was the Best super bowl half time show of all time 😎👍✌... Thanx for the cool Video German in venice
Thank you, Mike! Nostalgia, wow!!! The memories of some of those Snoopy and Charlie Brown dolls, metal lunchboxes, and boom boxes brings me back decades!
Hi Mike! Great video I love flea Markets I saw so many little things I would of bought like that picture of Michael Jackson with his name in red letters!♥️ I would of probably bought sone lego Michael Jacksons too! “The early bird gets the worm” and that is what you got to do see everything without a crowd!! Thank You for sharing! TSCHUESSING!
I don't understand why anyone would clutter their lives with other peoples junk. Not unlike cluttering your mind with other peoples thoughts and values. Always interesting, thanks!
Guten tag! I was stationed in Frankfurt during the early 1980's when I served in the Army! I love schnitzel & a good beer! Thank you for sharing this video! 🌸
Been living in CA for about 40 years and never been to the Rose Bowl Flea Market. My birthday is this week so I told a few family members if they would like to join me this Sun to check this place out. Crossing one item from my bucket list. Thanks for the video Mike.
I ❤ everything about your videos. But.... the thing I luv the most is your timing. You know exactly when to say nothing-giving the viewers a chance to reflect, etc. And you know exactly when to speak. But the beauty is... you don't ramble, it's almost like you're psychic and answer what we we're thinking. Also, really like how you explain and how you asks your viewers if you're not sure -"Cactus or Cacti", just a small example. I believe you could become the Mark Wein or greater t of What's up in Venice Beach and other California attractions. ( In your Vid of what you like better in US vs Germany - you said "all you have to do is believe"). Keep being you, stay professional, adventurous and all the great qualities that make us remember or want to see things through your eyes. Even with all the ugliness in this world, you remind us of the birds, flags, license plates, the eateries, just all the things we walk right by because we all rush through life and forget to live and see all the beauty God created.
When I lived in LA I furnished my entire house with vintage furniture purchased at area flea markets (no crappy new furniture manufactured with inferior materials). The few times I visited the Rose Bowl I quickly learned to shop "across the canal" first since this area had more "occasional sellers" and not professional dealers who charge prices comparable to an antique store. My recommendation, which may be outdated, would be to check out the monthly Long Beach Antique Show at Vets Stadium (entrance fee required), the weekly Golden West College swap meet in Huntington Beach (no entrance fee) or the weekly Cypress College swap meet in Cypress (no entrance fee). If you're ever in San Diego Kobey's swap meet is pretty good (small entrance fee).
Nice walk around! I was *born* in Pasadena, and my mom's side of the family have been in Pasadena since something like the late 1800s. I still have an aunt (she must be in her 90s) living near Pasadena, and my mother's mother had a men's clothing store in Pasadena and I guess that's where she (my mother) met my dad. My mother also used to help make the floats for the Rose Parade, everything is made of flowers or other plant parts. But I've never been to the Rose Bowl! I knew a guy who told me he made part of his living going to to the Rose Bowl flea market and buying stuff to resell. My family left Pasadena when I was very little and moved out to Orange County on the coast. So it's really funny being born in Pasadena and not knowing the city at all.
I love all your videos. You are so down to earth and so informative. I use to love watching Huell Howser on tv and enjoyed it so much. Thank you for making these videos!
We really missed our local flea market last year. We only go once a year but we make a day of it with the family and you never know what you'll find, what you'll see, or what conversations you'll have with the vendors. It's a fun little fall tradition we really felt the loss of in '20. Hopefully we can go this fall again! But in the meantime, I enjoyed you showing us around this one, GiV. Good to see people out.
Hey bro, as always, thank you for sharing. Love this one as well as the others, but this one because I have been and drove through LA, since I lived there. Keep posting
Because it's at the port area of cali. Lots of chinese and knockoff goods at flea markets but by cali its the hub of where they all start to get their chinese goods and knockoff ware brands. It all gets off the boat next to this flea market, then the resellers go early to snag all the wholesale deals to resell to others that come later. The owners know it is the hub of the grey market resellers.
Basically what I am saying is... all those resellers on ebay with Fike shoes (not Nike but N'ike, N!ke, and N1ke shoes) get their wares probably from the main people at this flea market in cali. The owners know people come to pay half price for fake shoes and hats, and resell it for profit, so they are making money off the 'early bird' people (people who want the resale deals before others)
In Florida and from Missouri. Flea markets are free admission. And most have free entertainment like a circus. California...the left coast. For every dollar the government hands out they collect 3. Love your channel.
Hey Mike! My wife and I are fans of the 1999 movie Bowfinger. Cracks us up every time we watch it. If ever looking for a match up movie locations we would love to see this one ( in your spare time, of course). The movie is full of Hollywood locations. Thank you for considering and thank you for sharing your days!!
I love going to the flea markets in my area. They are finally opening back up and I love seeing everything and eating at the food stands. It’s amazing how many interesting things you can find.
Gotta Love a good flea market! A Place where your dollar gets CPR and comes back to life with a vengeance !! and it's fun. Love the Concord one in northern California.
Thanks for this, you've convinced me why I never need to go to the Rose Bowl Swap Meet! Thanks for saving me the trip! You are awesome, hope to run into you in Venice one day!
I appreciate you showing real life in Los Angeles.
It's pretty dope.
Come visit LA you will like it here
it looks depressing and boring asf
@@PoombaiNews Don't come to LA we don't need your negativity in our community!
@@MustangGuy2000 I will never go there. You can relax...
Your videos are so delightful. I watch your videos not knowing that I am smiling through them the whole time. Your love of the world makes your fans LOVE the world. You spread joy.
I guess my job is done then thanks for smiling
Indeed, very true.
I've lived in L.A. for going on 40 years and have never,never, never been to the Rose Bowl flea market and now having seen it through the eyes of GiV I can honestly say I will probably give a pass on it for at least another 40 years.

GIV has a gift of stopping to appreciate things that most of us would walk by without a second thought.
Thanks for the walk ,I had a nice time
Walking around with you 😃
I grew up in REDONDO BEACH, and
That used to be called the swap meet!!!!

Go to the Roadium Swapmeet in Torrance, Ca..
About 4$ to get in, and is also a popular Flea market in the Southbay area.
Thanks for sharing a part of your world that many of us will never get to see. Keep up the good work.

Ah! That old NES on the right looked to be in great condition. I would've bought that in a heartbeat. Plus the pistol!

I was watching your old videos the xmas ones in Germany,,,I love them and would love to be in Germany and go to the xmas market
Luv your Arnold Swarzenegger accent. On your next video, would love to hear you say "get to the chopper". All the best.
Thank you, once again, Mike for more Positive Vibes. Your videos pick us up, everyday! From Nev in England xX
Quite fun walking the isles with you and seeing some really neat stuff! Thanks my friend, and Cheers! 🤣🥂🙆♀️

I love Pasadena...such a beautiful place! Thanks GIV!
Thanks 😃
One man's trash, is another man's treasure. Fun flea market! Thanks for the tour Mike! 👍
Been there, not bad . But pricey. Thanks for showing, now i wanna go check it out lol
Thanks Mike, I love flea markets, it was fun.

You can always find alot of great history in these wonderful places.
I'm glad you did it cause I don't feel like walking, I give you a 👍for this one.
Hey bro, as always, thank you for sharing. Love this one as well as the others, but this one because I have been and drove through LA, since I lived there.

$20 dollars to a flea market! That’s insane. Imagine you had a family of 5, you’d have to remortgage your house.
Put them in the flea market, 😆 (I know not funny)
Ill help you out it equals 100. The answer is 100.
Because it's at the port area of cali. Lots of chinese and knockoff goods at flea markets but by cali its the hub of where they all start to get their chinese goods and knockoff ware brands. It all gets off the boat next to this flea market, then the resellers go early to snag all the wholesale deals to resell to others that come later.

Gotta get me a pair of those Fike shoes. They sound legit.
Methinks America charge an entry fee to scare off the "undesirables"...another great Vlog German in Venice...Thank you!
Cool I do love love love flea markets and garage sales it's so cool and so much fun
