Tommy walking next to you, eating ice cream is the picture of utter contentment . Warms my heart.

i thought that same thing lol

[@TinCupChalice40]

Dude, I’ve become a huge fan of yours. I grew up in the San Fernando Valley had a sailboat in Marina Del Rey and now live in Idaho. Love to go over memories that you bring up for me. Thank you

[@whoisharo4689]

Owning a boat in marina del Rey is a dream! How come you moved? I live in the valley as well

[@TinCupChalice40]

@@whoisharo4689 because California became a liberal shit hole so I bought a house in the woods on 20 acres it’s not quite as good as the ocean but it’s pretty damn nice. I wake up in the morning with anything from deer, turkeys, moose and every now and then we have a bear that shows up. of course he’s not so welcome

[@davidroberson8030]

Yeah I was raised in southern Calif, in the 60s and 70s it was so much fun in those days it was crazy and things weren't so expensive or nothing cuz we were poor but it was fun I kind of miss that.

It’s wonderful how your love of movies and entertainment goes back so far. I watched “oldies” at my Grandmother’s house but they were new to me and brought to life from the greats that came before. That’s how you could see a movie if it wasn’t in the theater. At the same time the great art of film got better and better with sound and effects and cutting edge writers and film editors and actors. We are lucky to be fans and lucky to have you bring all of it into perspective. Thank you for great fun.

[@mamnisel4815]

GIV and Thomas what a fascinating little cemetery with all those big name stars buried there.I love your matchups GIV as it brings the whole film history to life.Keep on doing whay you're doing!!!!

[@charlesbronson5235]

Thomas likes the Boston Red Sox? Whenever he or you both come to Boston I’ll treat you guys to a game, dinner and place to stay. 👍💪

Mike, you are the best matcher-upper on KZbin. 👍👍👍

[@susansmith7125]

Another great video! 👍 (BTW, the movie theatre location was from the film, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ".)

Always a great watch stay safe GIV and be well ps Thomas has a good hat 🧢 on B

[@johnnyjesus8]

Roy orbisons grave is just a little bit to the left of the grave of Richard Dawson. Great video Mike.

[@johnskelton5683]

We need an awards venue for KZbinrs'. The GiV would be nominated for, 'KZbinr Of The Year' for sure!

[@janetceniza8091]

Husband speaking age 80, when I was about age 7, i liked to go into the shoe repair shop in Edmonds, Wash. 1950 - I won't insult the old man by trying to spell his name, but possible German. He would actually make a shoe for you if you wanted, shoe or boot. I'm sure that skill is almost gone now, it is all by machine.

Great I love ice cream 🍦 😊❤❤❤❤

The people who don't understand your humor should subscribe and watch your videos more often ;)

I love your hat ! And I totally get your sense of humor. You are awesome GIV

I loved Griffith Park. So many sweet memories. When my son was little, he loved the Carousel and riding the ponies. He was born in Los Angeles in 1963 and passed away in 2012 in Tulsa 😢. My parents had an apartment on Rodney Drive and had a balcony and we could see the Hollywood sign and Griffith Park was so easy to get to. I can see you have so many followers and they all love your videos. I try not to miss any of your videos. They make me happy, a little melancholy but mostly I enjoy seeing all of my favorite places. Dankeschön ❣️

[@davidroberson8030]

That's a sweet comment right there I like that A+

Makes me miss LA so much but I love the GIV taking us all over LA ..I live in Palm Desert now..used to live in DTLA..I wishing I could move back! Sounds crazy right. Sending hugs to u! Sweet comment for the GIV ❤️

Westwood cemetery is a peculiar cemetery as it's tucked into small lot in between a bunch of tall office buildings - I remember I had a hard time looking for it the first time I visited, but eventually I found it

I noticed in the same column as Florence Henderson is also Lloyd Bochner, he's one of my favorite actors of all time - I think most people remember him from that famous "Twilight Zone" episode called "To Serve Man"

[@me1747]

Yes, Sugar Daddy candy was a kind of caramel candy. Very good! I didn't know it isn't sold anymore.

[@heatherwhatever7714]

I liked Sugar Babies more because they didn’t pull your fillings out. ☺️

Mike, your videos are awesome. Don’t let them get you down!

[@charlesbronson5235]

Incredible that there is so many well known celebrities buried in that location. I’m all set with knowing my time to go. When it happens, it happens. Nothing any of us can do about it anyway 😆 Thanks Mike and Thomas and hello 👋 to Mom in Germany 🇩🇪

I had an uncle that knew the day,month,hour he was going too die....How could he have known that?...The judge told him.😂😂😂

[@MashaT22]

By the way, I would like to know when I’m gonna die. This way I can make sure my service dog is going to be safe and taken care of - I would want to make sure he is settled with whoever is going to take care of him. It might make me a bit scared, but my boy’s needs and giving him a chance to get him settled and comfortable is more important than my own worries and feelings.

Great memories of visiting all those places in Hollywood. The Sunset Strip was the place to be in the late 60’s.

[@MashaT22]

I’ve seen those videos about how much you supposedly make. They do that for a lot of KZbinrs. Those videos are WAY off, lol. Maybe they need to show you where all your money is! 😂😂😂 I love the Sugar Daddy hat! You can order those candies online still, and I’ve sometimes seen them in stores. They’re a caramel chew - totally yummy!!

[@MilesBellas]

I lived in Westwood..... it's great. There is even a John Lautner designed house on Strathmore Avenue.

[@AmigoKandu]

Tootsie Roll Industries has the Sugar Babies & Sugar Daddy brands. Austrian Leo Hirshfield invented Tootsie Roll Candy in 1896 in New York City. When I came to USA, Sugar Babies were more popular since they were easier to eat! A Sugar Daddy sucker took a very long time to disolve. You could not chew it, or it got stuck on your teeth like super glue!

[@pinkworld9384]

Hello "Papa Sucker"(c.1925) that is the original name of Sugar Daddy chewy caramel candy. One of my few favorites!The Bruins movie theater use to make popcorn with real butter! Yum! 🦋💗

Another good candy back ina day was 'BigHunk'! They prob'ly had it in that candy store Farrah, Angel, your headstone is unbelievably too plain! Shoesmith...nobody uses that word anymore. The shoesmith in my ol' neighborhood, circa late 60s, was an old foreigner with one leg way shorter than the other, he had his shoe fitted with a ortho platform, his shop was greasy-oily smelling, dark, dank, and cluttered. My way older sisters were always making me take their shoes to him for repairs, or dancing taps, and made me go get them when finished. I now know they were scared of him! R I P Ol' Shoesmith!
