When Stallone left NYC to try and make it in Hollywood he drove all the way with his wife and dog. As soon as he got there, the car broke down. He didn't know anybody except a guy he had been in a movie with a few years ago, Henry Winkler. Winkler was *huge* at the time--Fonzie! Winkler drove out to help his old buddy and the rest as they say, is celluloid history.
I think the movie you're referring to is The Lords of Flatbush. Perry King is in that movie. I saw an interview with Perry King where he talks about Stallone being one of the smartest people he's ever known. A lot of times public persona obscures the real person behind it. I don't think most people think "Stallone... Genius!", but if you think about what it takes to make it, and the choices you make to get to the very top (and Stallone was at the very top), it all makes sense. Same goes for Arnold, however he's got the gift of gab and the insane personality, so it doesn't seem as such a stretch.
I guess that after the University of Miami , where Stallone studied Filmography, he went to NYC.
Also when he wrote Rocky, most of the the big pictures companies turned him down. There was no offer to make Rocky for some time.
The code on the telephone poles is to identify it in case of emergency. And used to keep track of maintenance done on the pole.
As for jaywalking laws, they've been changed in CA as of Jan 2023. Now if a person crosses the street even if not at an intersection or designated ped walkway, but does it in a safe manner, it's no longer an infraction.
Stallone and Winkler were both in a movie together before they became famous. Lords of Flatbush. Great movie
I have never been to Hollywood or Beverly Hills. Just watching your videos makes me want to visit. I hope I get the chance next year. Thanks for being such a positive person.
Thank you GIV for taking us fun places some of us will likely never be able to see ❤️👍👍
I just want to thank you for making these entertaining videos. Also, I appreciate how much you love and respect America. You are a good, kind humble person. I hope you exceed your wish of 1 million subscribers. You deserve that.
At 2:35 the GIV is next to a gigantic Moreton Bay Fig tree. This species of tree is native to Australia. Several examples of these trees have been planted in SoCal at various plazas.
PS - As usual a fun GIV video!
To be honest I really like these type of videos. Just you being yourself wondering around pointing out what you find interesting. Keep it going we love you GIV.
Oh! Tour bus video would be fun!
I love walking along with you Mike, even when you don't have anything planned. I love when you and Louie get together!!!
If he ever wants to explore Scottsdale, Arizona🌵- Mike can stay at my house with his own guest room & bathroom anytime he wants"
I filled up yesterday here in Louisiana. Gas is $3.31. I’m glad I don’t live there. I get excited when I see a notification from the GIV. KEEP UP the great work Mike ❤️
Red crowned parrots are everywhere. They like to eat the seeds on a tree in our yard in the East San Gabriel Valley. There’s also a group that studies them. I first noticed them over 20 years ago. Back then the story going around was that a pet store in Pasadena caught fire so the birds were let go and that’s how the parrots were introduced into the San Gabriel Valley.
GIV.... you make me smile just by looking at your handsome smile. Keep up the good work. It's gonna keep you young. ❤
Watching from london uk
Today is the 12 year Anniversary of my moms passing and you actually made me laugh which is a good thing. 😊
@@katrinajones8788 thank you. I spent the day listening to some of her favorite music Willie and Waylon. ❤️❤️
Texas loves the GIV! We look forward to your videos no matter the content!
in my opinion: GIV is like MTV reporter which cover Hollywood and pop culture back in the day of 80s-90s like in Eddie murphy-detective Axel Foley, an urban free journalist and now he has his own TV channel which is the GIV (German in Venice) with 327K subscribers 🎉🎉🥳🥳💃👯
He needs to be a Movie star ⭐️
When the Barbies first came out in The 50's, my Mom bought me one. I hated it then but I wish I had it now!
I always have a blast hanging out with you. Love it when you take us on walks exploring new things. Does that mean you can plant those seeds and grow your own palm tree with what you found? Nice to see Louis & Suki. Think there's a saying "real men wear pink"😂 Thanks again for a great video!
Enjoyed the walk with you.
I sure miss you when you don't post daily ! Thanks for all your videos & I HOPE you get to a million !
Thanks for the G.I.V sharing the Beverly Hills what is going on the NEWS 📰 LA USA 🇺🇸 😎👍
2:57 people taking pictures of the GIV! You're famous! :D
The couple that you saw J walking in Beverly Hills was boxer Deonte Wilder and his wife. Love your channel and you are definitely famous to us!! Keep it up!! GIV 4 life. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wanna hug Suki. What a baby. Love your videos
*Barbie* : I agree ... "Thumb Sideways" .... The story concept is very clever. Some set pieces are good. Production design is excellent. But overall the level humour is like what I imagine a 12 year old girls' slumber party would be like. Very juvenile. When I saw it, the girls loved it. The guys were like "really ? this is so lame ... ". But GIV's store can be seen in the background !
You should have wished for one million more wishes.😉 The next best thing to living in Beverly Hills is to be able to take a walk there. Thanks for GiV'ng.
German, you are really the best! ❤
I saw the movie and your store!
I love how you talk to the animals. Awsome ball cap😊😊😊👍👍👍
Hello again from Tennessee 👋
I rarely go to movies, but I did see Sound of Freedom. Very good, worth seeing.
Appreciate your efforts and quality content thanks GIV for the joy you bring us! Luv&Peace Bro Cheers to continued success!🍻🤝🏼✌🏼💫
One of the very very few channels i like even before i watch the content cheers G.V.I. 💪😁🇺🇸
The man, the myth, the legend! The G.I.V!
GIV I grew up in L.A. I know every place you go. Its so awesome watch you walk around. I love it. Those nuts from the palm tree taste like dates. Just not enough to them. The edible fruit trees around town is mind blowing. Tons of things you never seen before. California is paradise in more ways than people know.
I like your videos because I grew up in L. A. My Dad told me that their are many different bird species because back when WW2 was being fought and Japanese people were put into internment camps, they set their domesticated birds free.
We have wild parrots in New Orleans too..in the winter, it's a similar climate
Always watching from South Carolina!!
Looking good GIV! Watching from Thailand, on holiday from Australia. My neice lives in the Duss 🇹🇭🇦🇺🇩🇪
Ralph's story and California Gold all rolled up in a nice fuzzy GIV. LOVE YOUR WORK.
Someone needed to fill the massive void Huell Howser left and GIV's doing a good job of it.
Hey GIV! You are probably the coolest dude in Cali!!
GIV is the best at placing screenshots where actors have been.... now you know :)
If the Hollywood bus recognized you, thats one step closer to bieng in a movie! your dreams will come true Mike!💯
Thanks for making me smile!
Ok I subscribed!!! Good to see your videos
GiV always makes me smile.
It’s always a pleasure following you on your walks 👍🏽 I’m sure plenty of us do 😊
Hello from las vegas thanks 😊 for all your videos 📹 may the heavens bless your path in life 🙏
Palms trees 🌴🌤️ in California always remind me of Dr.Seuss’s story about the Lorax.
Mike you will get a million subscribers and then the house of your dreams with a nice pool 🏊♂️
There are two Mulberry Street pizzeria’s in Beverly Hills. One is on Canon and the other one is on Beverly. It’s delicious!!! 🍕🍕🍕
Yes, do a bus tour that would be fun 😊
always watching from tacoma washington......
Hey GIV, I was watching a You Tube video the other day about losing fat around one's gut. They said the best way to lose it is -- WALKING. So, I will be adding this to my workout routine.
Welcome back GIV.
I predict your wish will come true........keep up the good work, Mike, you always bring a smile to my face even on the hardest of days. Danke.
They knew you man! They knew you…. That’s crazy…. Love it!❤ Everybody loves the G.I.V…
Ev
I love these walks in Beverly Hills. Also love rodeo drive at night.
Would love to see you on a tour bus, showing us the homes of the rich and famous
Yes, Mike, your wish is very valid. I'll push your wish back to 31 March 2024 with more than 1M to be honest. Yet another EXCELLENT video, thank you!
"ahhh nuts. the sky is falling." lol that bird was giving you some real side eye. bwahahahah
GIV simply takes video on every day as they go by us, which we normally dont take note off, yet its fun to watch ! love him
You made me smile MIKE cause your the GIV 😎👍🏻🇺🇸🦅🇩🇪
I love watching your videos. You could read me the phone book and I would watch it. I hope to go visit you one day. My husband and I. I like your commentary because being a blind person it makes it so easy to follow what you're looking at. I also like all the history that you bring to the videos. I like the respect that you give to the places that you go to. I would agree with some of the people on here by saying that you definitely deserve 1 million subscribers, maybe even 2 million. I will do my best to share your videos around because they're such fun to watch and listen to in my case. Thank you so much for what you do. Keep up the good work. We all like it. I like your Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonations too. It's great! It always makes me smile.
Love you and Louie no matter what you are doing - thank you for everything and I wish 1,000,000 subscribers for you also!
Hello Mike beautiful the mythical and timeless parrot ❤️🤣🤣🤣🤣 Michael Jackson ❤️❤️❤️ the sound of the ball has attracted the attention of the dog🤣🤣❤️hello Louis a kiss to the beautiful Suki🐶❤️❤️😘thanks for the video on the wonderful Beverly Hills
Mike these are my favourite kind of videos! Why not go for a walk and show us some other neighbourhoods like Los Feliz, Brentwood or the Palisades?
So much fun. Thanks GIV!😀
Thanks for another great walk around places in L.A. 😊
I’m back to finish, had to leave when you first put this out. And of course, I’ll say as usual, I love when you match up pictures, and Michael is my favorite! Being here since about the beginning, and it’s so great to see how far you’ve come, and more and more are recognizing our beloved G.I.V. ! 👏🏼✌🏼 Who knows what’s next, you might finally get in film !
GIV... you always make me smile 😁 Looking good baby. Keep getting those steps in! Thank you for amazing content as always.
Yea I was happy your store came in the movie I ❤Venice……
Yes, you made me smile & I'm sure others smiled as well😃
Thanks for the entertainment.
Hummers were kinda popular in the Boston area, but I never see any of them anymore.
I loved the Hollywood tour bus driver knew you. What a neat experience :)
Great Video, In MA it's 3.39 a gallon. That's outrageous! GIV that's for taking us around with you, your videos are always great!!
Definitely do the bus tour!!
Thanks/Dankeschön!
Boxing legend Deontay Wilder jaywalking in Beverly Hills! 7:36 mark
You are funny, I love that you keep showing that guy in blue doing all the retakes.
You can do it! One Million! I always enjoy your videos.
Yes you make me smile! You are great!
Great video GIV. Not everything has to be structured with a plan. Your "free-form" style is fine brother!
Wishing you to make 1 million or more subs by the end of this year. Also I love your picture match ups. I hope to see Barbie , but I was surprised by your review. I can’t wait to see it just to see what the hype is about.
GIV,you make me smile all the time! GIV is VIP!😊👍
you're alright Mike, 2 thumbs up
Thanks for this video. It’s nice to visit Cali- the place I almost went to out west long ago.
The History of the Different Birds in L.A. county: While I was living in Pasadena I mentioned to someone how Pasadena has several different types of birds. They told me that there was a bird store that caught fire many years ago in Glendale and so they let all the birds go so they wouldn't get hurt. Not sure if that's true, but it sounded good to me.
Great video GIV! It's so relaxing to watch your videos and wish that I was out there!
Love Your Ventures GIV And With Louis And Suki!!!😊💕
Waking up in the morning, watching the GIV....very entertaining...😌
A bus tour would be great, its always nice to see how the other half live. In London there are a few areas that have wild parrots, People say they were from the Studio when they filmed "Gone with the wind"
Great video 2x👍
Hi !!! Even a walk with you is enjoyable. Don't be afraid to make these!!! :)
