Tonight I had a chance to drive with a professional stringer throughout the Los Angeles area. We started in downtown Hollywood west Los Angeles, and many other places. We are chasing reality with a few police scanners or radios Scott Lane has over 20 years experience being a Nightcrawler. He knows the streets better than anybody this video shows many different emotions tragic events occur. It was a night I will never forget when you guys sleep. He’s out getting the news.

[@carmenedwards9865]

Don't feel bad Mike. This is real life, it happens, and you were there to catch it.

[@OSTV405]

It was great meeting you! Appreciate the shoutout as well!

[@E.P.1]

Thank you GIV and Scott.

[@karenwade2484]

We saw a miracle. The survivor of one of the horrific traffic accidents. God Bless Him. God Bless Them All.

[@CindyHuot]

Mike this is your channel, stop apologizing for the content you create, if they don't like it they can go somewhere else!! You will never be able to please everyone!! Again, this is YOUR channel!! Scott is dope...love that you did this!!

[@malcolmschenot6352]

Mike I'm so proud of you how far you've come from when you started. When I saw you the first time soon after you started I right away felt you had a point of view that was special and important. Your videos show this town better than anyone else. The real LA. With all its beauty, pathos, scrung and soaring vast uniqueness. There's no place like LA. I don't care who hates/loves/despises/worships this city, LA doesn't care and it just keeps being itself (I love LA). And you're growing into this so well, even though you often don't know what you want to do or whether you'll get something, you always do and it always has your special respectful appreciative artistic viewpoint.

[@lonewolffullmoon]

I couldn’t of said it better myself!!! Absolutely 👏

[@ayeoooo]

Props to the stinger guy can tell he's passionate about what he does. Great video giv! I need to make sure I slow down on the 405

[@ChaseFanatic]

Scott and his team do a great job of covering breaking news in the Southland!

[@jorgjorgsen7528]

why is human suffering news worthy? its a car accident how should something like that news at all? back in the days the news where 30 minutes now its 24hours back in the day they got it right.

[@michaelhilber8284]

Car crashes I don't consider news really. But it does make me want to stay off the roads when I hear head-ons caused by drunk drivers.

[@dcallan812]

@@jorgjorgsen7528 Its to try to inform people of the dangers on the road, if the news NEVER reported a car crash people would think, WOW we have the safest roads in the world lets all go drive drunk and at 60 mph past this school just as the kids are going home..

[@pineywoods420]

Better than network television

[@t3nosanfran803]

Absolutely. And it's not watered down or infused with Political Correctness, either, like TV news. (Network news lost its real-reporting edge a long time ago, IMO.)

[@5GreenAcres]

Of course it is. Network tel lie vision is nothing more than teleprompter readers.

[@noxcorvus93]

This is great. As a long time sub for you and Scott and other stringers, it was truly great to see this collaboration. Great work 👏

[@tomg721]

Am amazing behind the scenes view of Scott's work. Thanks Mike for documenting this.

[@lugnutla]

You did great Mike! I watched live. Great exposure for more viewers.

[@danube1001]

Hey Scott, I used to watch your channel several years ago and quit, now I saw you again in GiV, I am a subscriber again. Thanks for sharing 🙏👍❤️

[@whathandleUtalkabt]

Great information. Legal journalism mixed with GIV Art journalism. Great show 👏 👍

[@jaccaj1626]

Prayers to the folks injured/lost out there and those who take care of them🙏

[@cathyw6735]

Videos like this are good because it reminds you how dangerous the roads and drunk drivers can be. Great video GIV and Scott👍

[@SharonGoewert]

Really great video thank you for this video and for all the hard work that you do daily GIV!

[@Robert-rt2wx]

Really good video ,I've watched Scott know for a few years ! He just covers the news . Thumbs up GIV !

[@Sierra4435]

I am in Canada and watch your videos regularly.

[@carolinethompson3664]

You doing great Mike. Very interesting to document this in your style. This is pretty cool. Thanks.

[@philippeplouchart8156]

This video recording business probably adds great value to the insurance companies, lawyers and police depts, relating facts and actual evidence, in case of legal disputes.

[@TowManDave00]

Wow...This reminds me of back in the day when I had 12 police/fire/ambulance scanners, a CB radio, and a 2-way radio in my Tow Truck... I still hear voices in my head... lol

[@cranbizzo]

GIV this is my favorite video you have done. As a paramedic for many years it is cool to see this side of things. Prayers for the victims.

[@cct7495]

Be careful out there late at night Mike. Most accidents happen late at night. Thanks for this insight to what its like to be a stinger. But sure hope you have more uplifting stories like you grocery shopping or doing sit ups at 12am on Rodeo Drive. We love watching you do normal things. You never bore us as we love our GIV!

[@PBKreviews]

Awesome! Was fun watching you both together 😀

[@jimo2665]

Great video, Mike,You are showing what is happening in the city, not showing it doesn't keep it from happening. This is reality. Real life isn't always sunshine on the beach.

[@jimbo8888]

Someone needs to report the news and most of these guys do a great job. There is nothing wrong with keeping people informed. Great video, Mike.

[@jlcmsw]

Many people don’t know how common car accidents are. A motor vehicle is like a loaded weapon and it’s so important to drive safely and use your seatbelt. Praying before you get behind the wheel doesn’t hurt too.

[@michaelhilber8284]

Did a quick search "Crenshaw Blvd Pedestrian Fatality" and a KTLA story popped right up. "Police seek hit-and-run driver in woman’s death, The vehicle that hit her, possibly a tan-colored sedan, was headed south on Crenshaw when it struck her. It then fled onto Vernon Avenue and then Victoria Avenue, police said." Check KTLA for the rest of it.

[@triangleman9997]

Was the usual suspects so they won’t report on it anymore

[@DFS1914]

I hope no one gives you any negativity with this. Im happy you went out there and showed the reality of things that can happen. I personally started watching your videos about the reality of homelessness in California i think what you do is very much needed! Please dont stop what youre doing you are appreciated we love the GIV!!!

[@daveellison8337]

This was a great video Mike. So interesting! Thanks for making it. AWESOME.

[@user-gf9lf2dv2e]

PEOPLE ARE GETTING UPSET WITH SOME OF YOUR VIDEOS. WHICH ARE AT TIMES BETTER THAN THE TV NEWS.. SOME OF THE TRUTH THE NEWS WILL NOT SHOW THE PEOPLE.. GREAT JOB KEEP INFORMING US 👍

[@549BR]

GiV gets a big dose of big city reality; always great to see and hear you.

[@angelaguilera600]

We appreciate your work German, happy to see you posting all the time

[@Foxytrot-sx2vd]

Netflix (Canada) is still streaming the Shot in the Dark series about the competition of Scott and other stringers for anyone interested. Tough work and I noticed Scott is pretty desensitized but I am glad you are a good guy Mike. You feel for people and that is a great quality. Thank you for bringing us another unique story about your home. All the best, Mike!!!

[@jjx89]

One of your best videos! I couldn't stop watching!

[@unedited2716]

GOD BLESS ALL 1ST RESPONDERS AND ALL OFFICERS AMEN💯🙏♥👍

[@atinwoodsman]

The collab we didn't know we needed 🔥

[@DJItaloxalnatural]

so true!

[@rhondacrosswhite8048]

Mike, you seem a bit tender-hearted for this type of filming. Not everybody is cut out to handle the adrenaline-rushed corner of life. That's not a bad thing -it takes all of us working together. I'm glad you got to ride along but I wonder how long it will take before you're ready to do it again.

[@mikehughes2026]

Really enjoyed the ride along- Scott’s a good dude!

[@gregggoss2210]

Very good video, GIV. Yes,Mike, it is very intense. And you were just a spectator. Imagine what it must be like for the police, firefighters, EMS workers who are exposed to it everyday. Your emotions were heightened, and you started shaking. Imagine dealing with that as a first responder everyday, only you have to hide your emotions and get on with doing your job. I've seen EMT'S and paramedics that left the job because of what they have seen. Even though what your friend does is for news purposes, it still gives people an insight into what happens around the world thousands of times a day. I was a volunteer firefighter for 10 years and witnessed some intense scenes. Although I am too old to do it now, I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Very rewarding to have been able to help people who were having the worst day of their lives at some point. You should do another video like this soon, GIV.

[@jayjay_yah]

He must be a good dude to allow our friend GIV to see the inside information of his trade love u man just makes my day that your so kind

[@dukx3986]

I was captivated by this video. So glad you shared it with us. Just Hope you're O K - that was an intense few hours. I would be shaking too.

[@WaitNBl33d21]

I never ever ever ever comment but wow ! Amazing. To see behind the scenes I’ve been following Onscene Tv for a looong time 🎉🎉🎉😊 good job GIV hope you keep making more fun videos like this

[@JohnJAD101]

Mike, You said a few times my heart is pounding....I know, I was just watching you and MY heart was also pounding! Yes, Mike, Life is fragile.🙏

[@rogermain3052]

Don’t listen to the keyboard warriors, keep doing what the GIV does.

[@sabinenagler6415]

This was a great video. Happy that you were able to travel along. Very intense but I suppose the more you do this, you get used to it.

[@Jason-Frains-YouTube]

Great,this is why I continue to watch the GIV.

[@CaroleMiller-zv3dw]

Hey I think you're doing a good job, bringing reality to your viewers. I watch you all the time 👍

[@Allenstergess]

People get mad at every little thing these days, no need for apologizing. They are old enough to stop watching the video if it's going to make them cry. Awesome vid thank you!!

[@martyflaherty3085]

I saw the doc shot In the dark a couple years ago these guys are also heros hats off to the both of you live your content

[@heatheranderson8105]

Thank you awesome

[@jeffsmithers7227]

Nice Scott reports the real news!! So much fake news out there nowadays. Great Video Mike you shoot a broad range of topics on your channel, always informative and interesting.

[@duanedrummond8902]

Everything you do is cool Mike, you’re the GIV! Brother, Relax, smile and keep doing you you’re the man

[@mijiyoon5575]

You have both made decisions to do this work ... we all have to make decisions ... live w/ your decisions & keep on keeping on ... do your work as you are & you will be successful & stronger in your work. Tough jobs require tough decisions & Thank You

[@Allisonswonderland247]

Would you please STOP apologizing for your content! This is your channel and you can choose what you want to film! We watch you because we like what you do…..good or bad. By the way….I have another Rock for you and T-Co. ❤

[@blaughon]

Nice collaboration, Mike and Scott. The more we can understand about one another, the better this world will be.

[@jumpingship3001]

Condolences to those who lost a family member. Respect you Mr German for your words on the deceased.

[@SaveAmerica69]

Another in Pomona, Crashfornia

[@eddiep.7559]

Very cool vid. Your documentation of LA has seen it all now. I felt your nerves and your hesitation but you did great 👍

[@travelingponcho6747]

This was a great video. You are a great content creator. A million thumbs up to you.

[@CarlosMendoza-qn6mj]

Get yourself a scanner and when you’re out at night thinking of a video to do you can make some more content like this. A lot of your subscribers including me love this kind of content.

[@user-cv3dl2gi8z]

Hay GIV this is one of your best videos brother dam good job 👍👍✌️

[@TheHouseOfVII]

Great video - so many conflicting emotions but the main part is you both documenting what happened!

[@colemarsh13]

Fantastic content 👌🏻 love the GIV

[@joannasunday]

Stringer vids are amazing! Thanks GiV! Stay safe.

[@zone043]

Super fun to see you co-operate with that guy. This video coulth be a lil longer. Was fun to watch. Greets from the Netherlands

[@nemesisut8793]

Damn Mike... you're becoming a professional at this.. better than local news

[@RG615]

Wow.... Mike, this was an amazing video... so real and exciting to watch the "inside" of these guys whom go to the scenes and then we see these stories eventually on the news. Great job GIV.

[@OhThatsJayy818]

More of this GIV, really interesting stuff to see of LA.

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Great job on this video today, good effort on bringing us what going on. Thanks for sharing this. Take care Mike.😎📸🖐️

[@GAJ1968]

Awesome Video Thanks for Riding with Chasing Reality and letting people know about him.

[@nagleedmv]

Thank you for posting this video showing what he does for a living.

[@vickiladu6755]

Great video! I remember watching a movie called The Night Crawler and that's how I learned of this business.

[@karenlynn6860]

Thank you for going out of your comfort zone. That must have been intense! You as always were so respectful. Seeing someones life come down to a news story is just life. As harsh as it sounds. We just have to remember like you said, they are part of a family, with relationships and friends and plans. So tragic. I thought you handled it so well. Thank you.

[@Nils_Martin]

That young lad is absolute right, it doesn't matter where you live, bad stuff happens just like there good everywhere, in all areas, posh or poor there's good and bad things!

[@waywardwatchdog1]

Nah lol There are absolutely more dangerous higher crime areas.

[@rons3103]

The GIV LA/Venice news! Exciting stuff Mike! Since it's night time, I guess your not covering the naked ladies fighting with spiked bats on Venice Beach! Nice coverage and interesting how they cover the stories as it happens!

[@out2fun]

Lol

[@tootz1950]

Hey Mike, somebody has to report the news. We would not know if it wasn't for reporters like Scott. Really good video.

[@HanginWithMrReyRey]

I would have to say this would be in your top five best videos ever GIV.

[@milantoombs6696]

I wondered if he drove quickly to the sites, from your reaction I know he does! Good job guys!

[@MelissaMarcomb]

This is amazing. Thank you for sharing it

[@LilacDreams68]

Might be a good idea to blur out faces of people who are victims of an accident or crime. People sue very easily these days GIV. Great video!

[@oOBubbleStreamOo]

I would understand the one who sued.

[@rothajackson6865]

Mike, who cares what ignorant people think or say 🙄, they complain about the News Anchors reporting the News,,😊 you can't please everyone so just do what you do, if they want to live in a box so be it, keep up the good work 👍 👏

[@tanyahouston5635]

I used to watch this guys years ago-I didn’t know they were on KZbin. Thanks! I’ll be watching Scott.

[@Grinchnot1]

I like Scott’s videos and have watched them before, so I knew this video was going to be great. It’s a wake up call to watch these clips and I’ve even showed some to my teenagers so they can see what happens if you don’t take driving seriously, drive drunk, wrecklessly, too tired, negligent, etc. I don’t want to scare them, but I need them to see the reality we only hear about … so they don’t make the wrong choices / decisions. I could never do what Scott does but I thank him for doing it and with heart. And thank you, Mike (and Scott) for allowing us to see the realities so we can smell the roses more, say more prayers of thanks, and to be grateful for the gift of life every day we’re alive.❤

[@brucewestoby]

In doing your neat videos.... variety of the different themes, subjects, locations will garner you your 2 million subscribers..and many more! Keep up the good work. Your one of my favorite channels!

[@Fractalfarewell]

Loved the collab with Scott. You should do a ride a long on the weekend sometime. After it gets a bit warmer the calls are way more frequent.

[@alexandria8255]

This stuff teaches the public what not to do to stay safe and prevent accidents, etc. Great ride along Mike, and Nightcrawler.

[@caitymcleod5552]

Yo German in Venice, you said " You never know who's watching." Well my name is Danny and I live in Dayton Ohio, and I am watching. I love your channel and I will probably never be able to visit L.A. so I live it through you. Thank you and keep it up.

[@user-xj5fx2qe6p]

pretty intense video ,reminds me of being back on the job,thanks for sharing ,sad people have to loose their lives ,but it happens every day ,thanks for sharing mike

[@bdlii]

Scott is something else. What a job. And you can tell he is super smart and seasoned and well spoken. Plus he has 138 of Thomas Guide on his arm.

[@MaryJohanna]

If people tell you that they don't think you should post certain content then that's on them. Don't take it personal because you are doing what you like and it comes across as wholesome and authentic. They should go watch something else then. Good job GIV

[@DaveyCrockett001]

Great! I hope you can do more like these - Scott rocks at his job and for those complaining, When you guys arrived first at a single car collision, his lights provided a level of safety for the driver of that car.

[@ramblin_wreck]

Great vlog Mike, thanks!

[@Frazzzld]

Great video! You have a new fan/sub with me. I've been a long time follower of Scott's and I saw how the two of you met (hot dog vendor fight) and came over to watch your videos. I love them. Keep up the great work.

[@oceancat0450]

First of all, you have very, very, good energy . I’m very glad I found your channel. I watch Onscene TV every new video they put out, so putting a face to that channel is cool.

[@djchinopolis]

Mike, I have been following this friend for almost two years, how nice that they have become friends, I was a paramedic for 7 years in Sonora, Mexico and that bastard represents me! Make good friends my great mike!

[@juliogonzales5441]

Be safe my friend 😊

[@eily_b]

Don't apologize for that video. Just do it and take the criticism (I don't see though). Bad things still happen, no matter if you record them or not. And where do all the news come from? It's bad things happening. Doesn't make a difference if a network covers it or freelancers. Thank you, Scott, for taking the GiV with you.

[@rhonak7548]

Love what you all do to bring the real news ... reality is life

[@goldenmare2594]

GIV been long time follower of Scott but been missing your videos..loved your coverage of Venice Beach.....saw you were riding with Scott so came here to watch it...glad you got a ride time with who you now know is LONG LONG time independent reporter of news.
