I loved the Chimney Santa animatronic. Lol Also, my heart goes out to the family of the person who jumped. My mom ended her life when I was 13, and your heart never recovers from it. Sending love and strength to everyone who needs it.
To anybody out there who may be reading this and feels like giving up; as long as you are breathing their is still hope that things will get better! Don't give up that opportunity! I have been there and understand how dark things can appear, but please don't quit trying to find the happiness, love, peace, and good in this world. Don't let the darkness win. Fight for your victory! You are a light. Don't allow yourself to be dimmed! You got this🖤
Amazing footage of the extent rescue provides in LA for people. Great job Mike. You have the nerve to go where people are afraid to go. Like you said many of your friends never go to Santee Ally. Thank for your sacrifice.
I'm from Los Angeles, born and raised and I have always parked on the streets whenever going to DTLA for that same reason. So many streets in Los Angeles without lights because of all the idiots stealing copper wire. I got used to driving around in the dark and it's sad. Anyhow, I love your videos. Thanks for giving my city some love. I Love LA!!
GiV ❤ Danke das du uns das alles zeigst . Ich sehe nicht viel von der Welt . Du bist für mich ein liebenswerter Mensch 🥰🍀. Ich wünsche die ganz viel Sonne und gute Energie und eine schöne Weihnachtszeit 🎄☃️❄️
If it were monetarily worthwhile, one could sue them for fraud and misleading advertising. Note how they allowed the tiny "first 10 minutes" print to fade. That indicates intent to deceive.
22:33 What a beautiful transition from all that chaos sadness and uncertainty into a one of a kind shot of the skyline that was sparked with such beauty from the unfortunate event prior and real talk if you made that shot of the skyline a poster or somekind of your many art forms I would mosdef pay for that
Hello GIV, i am watching you from Australia love your shows. I love the Alley footage so colourful of all the shops, I love your sugar daddy hat, i wear mens caps they are much better than women's hats. Keep up the good work i will never travel overseas and i feel like i am with you when you are filming and showing us all. I love Australia to much and never had a desire to travel out of my Country. I appreciate you showing us around and never stop smiling as you have a beautiful smile GIV.
Wow. Great photography. You caught L.A. on a good day, not to smoggy. Downtown is something else. Quite fascinating. I love Olvera St. and China Town. I wish I had met you back in the 70's!!! ****DOGTOWN**** FOREVER IN MY HEART🌊
That story about the $5 parking scam is wild! The tiny faded print saying 'First 10 minutes' is definitely misleading and feels like it's designed to trap people. If you parked there and refused to pay once they revealed the full price, would they let you leave, or would they still demand payment? It makes me wonder if this can be reported to the city or a consumer protection agency. I tend to avoid these private parking lots for exactly this reason. In downtown LA, there are some public parking lots or city-operated facilities where the pricing and signage are much clearer. It’s worth doing a quick search or using parking apps to find those options ahead of time to avoid scams like this. Thanks for sharing-it’s a good reminder to always double-check the signs!
Mike lol I love you. Rapido rapido haha so just so you know, that’s President Bukele from El Salvador 🇸🇻 ❤you didn’t know but that shit was funny lmao 😂
I think you’ve been there for quite awhile, being German I figured you’d be used to cooler temperatures like those of us from northern climates. Good camera work bud 👍🏽.
"The kid ... was a very young black man"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 No, he was a young Latino boy of 17, who fell accidentally. U$ herd member can not even get basic facts right, when others can do, thousands of miles away.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why downtown LA all of the time?? Do you ever go to the San Fernando Valley? A Lot of interesting history and stuff out there. Hey...even Topanga Canyon!! That's a great place too!
There is a huge correlation with the season’s weather when the sun is not as strong. Vitamin D levels decrease while depression increases. A simple solution, which may help, is taking Vitamin D supplements when fall and winter arrive. I do this as my D levels are slightly lower than normal.
Thanks so much GIV for this info WOW! L.A. is full of news and surprises........GIV, Question? How is Billy doing? The young kid that Daisy wants to adopt? I know U Know a little bit about him and his situation? Please give us a good/great update on him and how he's doing?????? or even lead us to a podcaster that can, as U know a lot of other podcasters and U R da man........OK You Be Good
Different departments. Believe me, all government spends as much money as they can, so they can justify asking for more with each new budget. Job One for all government is growing its own size, scope, and power.
It's NOT the Governments job to look after or "raise" adults. Or clothe, feed or anything else!!! Nothing wrong with helping people in need, but they have to WANT the help, and be willing to help themselves!!
Hey Sugar Daddy.. or I should say Sugar PaPa. I too love those outdoors markets in LA or anywhere. Lots of cheap stuff but also good deals. You got great footage of attempted rescue. So sad to hear person didn't make it 😢.
Yea!! I never park there because I learned years ago it’s $5 per 15 min. It’s usually $10 or $15 for the whole day. But I always find street parking. Back in the day when the homeless were different, you give them a few bucks, they will continue to add change to the meter for you and take care of your car. I get my heavy metal or punk shirts at the Santee alleys
I saw most of this, but my guess is that the scanner had an issue with your video, which i didn't really see why. That parking scam is wrong, the lettering being so small was on purpose, and i imagine they've made a lot of money from it, so I'm glad they didn't get your five buck's. You crack me up when you show the toys, you must be young in your head like me, because i think the toys are still entertaining to. I wouldn't buy from that guy trying to haggle you either, it just seems like a shady way to do business, and it makes you wonder how many people have been ripped off. You are the sugar daddy GIV, because you are sweet and genuine. I know you make your mom proud, she is kind like you, and i like her smile. Tell her much love and hugs from a lady in Michigan. That's really sad someone was so down and out that they tried to take their own life. I had really bad depression for several year's, and i tried to check out, and i shouldn't have made it, but someone was looking out for me, because it's a miracle I'm here. I was told i had depression, but actually i had two different medical conditions that were misdiagnosed for year's. I have progressive multiple sclerosis, and had a parathyroid issue that was fixed in 2020 by taking out 3 1/2 of the 4 parathyroid glands that were enlarged, causing the calcium to be pulled out of my teeth and bones, but it also caused depression and anxiety, which went away after the surgery. I think the holidays are hard for some people, and that's why there are more suicide attempts around the holidays. Thanks for taking us out today, and also for promoting people getting help if they are thinking about suicide. Being in that state of mind is a bad place to be, and there is help out there. G-d bless.
8-12-2024. Show us the garment district, or the La Bra ya tar pits.That reminds me check out the flower market or the farmers market or the fish market to. Latter big guy.😊
Had a similar experience down in Mexico looking at an aztec sun stone. It was $80, he claimed, but he eventually offered it to me for $20 at which point I accepted. Later, in Tijuana, I saw it for $25. It should probably have been $10, but I got it at a reasonable price along with a fun story, so there's that.
Great, informative video Mike. Love your content. Too bad you have to edit certain words out. What a crazy world we live in now. By the way, if you ever happen to come to New Jersey, you have to visit the Wildwood boardwalk during the summer. If like t-shirt shops, you'll love the boardwalk.
🌼Love your videos, as a former Los Angeles resident, I miss living in LA, I was wondering if you could cover the Fashion district? I am wondering if the fashion area is the same or somewhat the same as it was, I hate to say in the late 90”s? I know it has to of had changed bit wondering by how much? Can you cover this area? Thanks GIV, your videos keep me informed in the great LA area… 🙌🌼
Mike, that guy that was trying to sell high and then very low was trying to snowball ⛄️ you. Many vendors do that because that is how they get the tourists and non-residents.
Love that Market selling everything GIV and if I lived in LA would be there every week.Great pictures of the rescue on the 6th Street.Bridge with the LA Sunset as a backdrop.Your news is better than CNN,ABC and FOX combined.
Love that you love LA so much, and you enjoy the simple things, beautiful things.
It’s refreshing seeing someone appreciate it (:
Thanks for showing us that area! I want to go to the shopping area Next time o go to California! I agree it looks fun!
I loved the Chimney Santa animatronic. Lol Also, my heart goes out to the family of the person who jumped. My mom ended her life when I was 13, and your heart never recovers from it. Sending love and strength to everyone who needs it.

Mike, I LOVE looking at markets like this. My morning just isn’t complete till I view your pix - keep up the good work… Dave
Great helicopter footage! All the power lines to avoid. Good flying. Yeah that $5 for 10 or 15 is bull. Love the Santas at sante alley.
I love my city and those are my stomping grounds. You did an amazing job covering this👍🏼 Very impressive! I like how you got ALL up the mix 🤣
Some of the best views of LA are seen on your channel GIV! 😊

Deceptive practices. Those signs really should be outlawed.

Still love the GIV been watching for few years now.keep up the good content Mike.Melissa from Australia 🇦🇺
Hello GiV.
Excellent camera work; very cinematic.
Thank you.

These are your best videos. I enjoy the company. 😊
GIV gets the scoop! I love it. Now, it's time for one of your 2am park and talk videos.
Yes! The 7-ll-side Chat!
You always find something interesting!
Thanks Mike, LA n Venice Beach should be thankful to you. ❤
Yeah. Maybe their tourism boards will sprinkle a little love on the channel!

"consumer protection agency." is a useless bureaucracy just there to show it exists.
I never knew what downtown LA looks like I always heard negative things .thank you GIV for your point of view.
They are trying to “sucker” you out of your money..Santee Alley is certainly different! Enjoying the video!
Mike lol I love you. Rapido rapido haha so just so you know, that’s President Bukele from El Salvador 🇸🇻 ❤you didn’t know but that shit was funny lmao 😂
Hey GiV, today your vid came across my news feed! I guess you are a "journalist" today! 👍🏻
great footage looks like a movie RIP stranger
Wow GIV, you are always on the scene!!!❤😊
Mike is paparazzi but friendly
That one pilot is amazing, it looked like a still photo even though it was live... that helo did not move.
Wishing everyone Merry Christmas and a happy prosperous New Year from Orem,UT.🎅🧑🎄
A very Mery Christmas and harmonious, happy, wealthy and healthy New Year to you, and everyone else, too.
Blessings to you and yours from Rural SoCal❤🌲🐪☃️🔔 Merry Christmas!
Too early for that. Many may not be even alive by Christmas time: shooting, accident, heart attack, anything can happen.
I think you’ve been there for quite awhile, being German I figured you’d be used to cooler temperatures like those of us from northern climates. Good camera work bud 👍🏽.
Wow what an opening Mike ❤ love your videos. Enjoyed this one. Have a good night Mike
The kid who jumped was a very young black man. RIP my friend
"The kid ... was a very young black man"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No, he was a young Latino boy of 17, who fell accidentally.
U$ herd member can not even get basic facts right, when others can do, thousands of miles away.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi there Mike like the video and great shot on la river it reminds me of a movie location like grease and transformers👍
Why downtown LA all of the time?? Do you ever go to the San Fernando Valley? A Lot of interesting history and stuff out there. Hey...even Topanga Canyon!! That's a great place too!
🎉🎉🎉 another great video as always. Keep on doing what you do, always interesting and great to watch. You come a long way baby :-)🎉🎉
Sad.... Holiday depression is a real thing. stay safe Mike

It's a terrible shame what's happened to L.A. and California.
To look at "white USA", just go to LA.😂
the rural south is dying
Great Coverage of that rescue/retrieval effort!
Another really cool video GIV...You should def buy a high vis jacket though!
Love your videos, i love the Santee Alley
Rip💐condolences to family and friends thanks for sharing Mike be safe have a good one🤟☮️💟🍀😜🤘🦋cheers
Probably not (m)any family or friends, and hence the very sad and desperate action. 🙏✨️😢
A a young Latino boy of 17, fell accidentally.
That’s not the marine layer of June gloom but poor air quality due to air mass inversion in place right now. Loving the videos!
I really want to visit those markets! Tshirts, caps. JACKETS!!

Downtown is beautiful from far away, but it's disgusting to walk there!
Happy holidays mike
You're an amazing, creative man. Your photography is very artsy!!!!🌊*DOGTOWN*
I can't help but wonder how much a rescue like that costs.😮
Isn’t that a problem as well? Rescuing people as a business instead of just doing it for the right reason as a human being.

You’re funny I enjoyed this video
A surreal scene at the bridge. It's too bad people have stolen the wiring.
Thanks for sharing! The “Alleys” look empty. That used to be the spot everyone went for deals. I guess it’s like any other mall now?
Thanks for sharing…!

Hope you edit your Christmas parade video soon.

Why did this vlog get taken down? Glad it's back!

Too many female underwear?
Who only parks in a parking garage for 10min?
I live la I haven’t been downtown in a while I’ll have to drop in
Grate footage of LA. What happened on that bridge ?
Love you GIV ❤
Idea🌟 Mike do a couple video s the best worst place to park when hanging out for the day
Mike, that guy that was trying to sell high and then very low was trying to snowball ⛄️ you. Many vendors do that because that is how they get the tourists and non-residents.
I lived in Los Angeles for almost twenty years.... Everyone knows about the 6th Street bridge....Sad ..
Lived on 6 and spring then 7 and main 2005-09 some interesting times…. Fun to watch this now, looks quiet!
Omg Mike so sad ,tu for sharing 😮
Love that Market selling everything GIV and if I lived in LA would be there every week.Great pictures of the rescue on the 6th Street.Bridge with the LA Sunset as a backdrop.Your news is better than CNN,ABC and FOX combined.
that parking sign small print would make a great "shorts video"
I love your Vlogs GIV. You are getting pressies soon with Louis.
The Santee Alley not as busy because people lack the funds for discretionary spending this year I have heard.
GIV ON THE SCENE…….that was cool Mike
Thanksforthesadstory
Santee Alleys aren’t the same anymore sadly that why it’s empty
They want mall prices for the clothes!
Peace! ✌🏻
