Hi GIV!!!! My now husband and I met you a few years ago at your shop in Venice and we hope you are doing well! Keep up the good work. You had us laughing tonight! Try not to let the negative comments get you down. You are one of a kind! God Bless you!

Greetings from Kazakhstan! GiV, don't be upset about time flying by, be happy that you had those days! Wish you and your kind Mother good health!

German- you did more than most people realize- to clean up Venice Beach! You’ll never get the credit you deserve but those of us who subscribe to your channel know how much heat you put on City Hall!

😟Mama always said, "There'll be days like this".❤❤❤. I miss the beach so thank you for showing the beach. You're very entertaining GIV. You do you "the one and only GIV".

Ich denke du bist ein guter Entertainer, ich schaue deine Videos gerne zum Entspannen nach einem stressigen Tag als Abteilungsleiter! Grüße von Mainz nach Los Angeles! Besonders gefallen hat mir deine Homestory mit deiner netten Mutter! Von so einem coolen Keller habe ich immer geträumt!🤘👍

You Definitely Deserve To Be On That Wall!!! YOUR A ICON BROTHER GIV”!!

I like your humor. Keep it up. I also appreciate your hard work on these videos. Keep doing what you do. You have your own style and are becoming your own brand. ❤

I watch your channel because I have a friend from Denmark that immigrated to LA some years ago and I have to keep me updated about her new hometown. But I also watch your channel because you have such a positive personality that always brings me in a good mood. KZread makes us one big family 😎👍

Too bad people get so picky!!! Just do what you do, complainers are the minority, we all know your intentions, you are well loved and understood. Thanks for all your well-done work!!!

Just wanna say I’ve been having the worst week of my life and these videos definitely cheer me up. Thanks buddy

It's "Pope-yes" from now on Brother!! 😅. I cracked up when you informed us you actually did understand how it is pronounced! So great! You are the best my friend! 🤙

German In Venice is proof that you can have a dream (coming to California), make it happen and still show unabashed awe, love and appreciation for it decades later.

Thanks for the joy you bring to my day .Danke !!!! ☘️🇮🇪☘️ Yvonne

Not only does the time fly by... but in the process, EVERYTHNG changes radically ! l was a kid in the 50's and it was a BLAST ! No computers, no cell phones, no social media, no gender identity issues.. just playing outside all day and riding a baloon tire bycicle ! Cars back then were FANTASTC and easy to fix.. not the non-descript blobs that are being produced today ! l miss that era A LOT !!! You are a GREAT entertainer.

Hi Michael, you have always made me smile with your videos, and I'm still pissed about not meeting you in Sept 2018 when I was there.

Michael, your love of America and especially California is inspiring. So many Americans have gotten into a spiritual funk, constantly complaining about everything that's wrong with this country. Yes, we have problems we need to fix, but you remind us of all that is good and possible here, so thank you for that. I hear ya' about the passage of time; I'm several years older than you, and at one point I realized that I have way more life behind me than ahead of me. That's a sobering thought. I'm glad you're taking care of your health so you can get the most out of life. Hope your mom is doing well. One question: You have a henna tattoo shop on the Venice boardwalk, but you don't seem to keep it open regularly. What's the story with that?

In those 4 years i saw 1 person looking like homeless in corner of Redondo, but of course according to some who now profit of making videos on it it's everywhere, because yes, naming the video that way baits plenty, i know it's much much worse then i happens to be did not see, but it's still also plenty nice average visitor will experience

Mike don't ever be nervous. Just be yourself,that's what makes your videos fun to watch.

Hi GIV! Just wanted to say I really enjoy watching your videos. I grew up in Venice, graduated from Venice HS but left California in 1999. Moved to Illinois and now I live in Indiana. Your videos bring me so many great memories. Stay safe my friend.

We are just grateful that you show us the LA life❤

Hope to cross paths soon bro! Looking at hitting Venice this weekend, would be good to chat!

Mike, Your marvelous! If you make mistakes or say something wrong, it’s endearing to us. It’s you, it’s your personality. It’s what draws us to you. And it’s ok!💕🐚🌴🐠🌞

Don’t forget you’re not going to please everyone all the time and some people will be too thick to understand when you’re making a joke. Most of us love you and laugh at the right things! You’re also not a robot and will sometimes make a mistake. It’s really no big deal for the type of videos you’re making. You’re doing all the right things - look how many people watch your vids! Also, the KZread algorithm is weird. Sometimes it makes videos front and center and other times it doesn’t. When you tell people to hit the bell, maybe remind them to turn “all notifications on” by holding the little bell down on your phone or right clicking on a computer. This way people get notified every time you post instead of depending on the KZread algorithm to put your video in their feed - because sometimes it just won’t tell people, even if they watch regularly. The “all notifications” help, and many people don’t know about it. 😉 Love ya Mike!

Hi Mike! I just want to say Thank You for your videos they really make my day and I get to see and learn about different parts and areas in Cali!🥰 Also how can they say that they can’t put you on the mural because you’re not well known?, does that person not know about the GIV or is he simply crazy!🤔🤷‍♀️😂 AnyWho Mike like I have told you before do you in your videos and do what you enjoy and THAT is what makes you unique and what makes you German In Venice NOT that you make mistakes!! I speak for myself “I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL”, Also as far as your jokes go especially the “Pope Eyes” one it is Hilarious but I also sincerely thought you thought that that is what it was called!!🤣🤣🤣 You are naturally funny so keep being you and don’t worry about what anyone else thinks or says!!😊💜 Thank You for sharing this video and YES I enjoyed it!!😅👍 Take Care and please tell your Mom I said Hello!

I really enjoy your videos. Don't worry about view count so much. Sometimes I miss a video you upload if life gets busy. It's nothing you did. Your videos are always top notch. You remind me of a long lost friend I never had. It's always good when I have time to get on KZread here. Keep up the awesome work.

Absolutely no worries Mike. Just keep doing what you’re doing!
