Born & raised in California. 72+ years. Never had a desire to touch the Hollywood sign, but I’m glad that you got to, Mike. ❤ from San Diego.

Many of us will never get to these places, so we are living it through you. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us all.

This is my favorite video you’ve done! The raw emotion you showed absolutely melted my heart! I wish all Americans had just a fraction of pride for this country as you do!

When I lived in LA years ago, I would see the sign on my way home from work everyday and it always seemed surreal.

On living one of your greatest dreams, you finally made it to the Hollywood sign to touch it, your happiness made me cry , I'm so proud of you, watching your channel grow so large & watching you make new friends & having bigger & better adventures is really inspiring me to get back to my passion for KZfaq, I wish you more happiness & continued success in following your dreams & for your channel

I am so happy for you Mike. You looked like a little kid in a candy store. Thanks for the video and history lesson on the iconic Hollywood sign. Glad your dream came true. You deserve it.

Thank you for sharing! This nice video. It brought back memories. I touched all the letters in the early 80s... Love it.... Once again thank you sir. Awesome video.

Cheers to the organization that made this vid possible by allowing Mike to touch the sign legally too! 😀 It is greatly appreciated! 😀

Hey Mike you are a star and it's even better that you did it on your own in my opinion! 👍

Man...I was in Los Angeles with my best friend just 2 weeks ago. It was just awesome. Venice is the coolest and most casual place on this planet. I miss the whole city of LA including the legendary pier in Santa Monica... I even miss Denny's, Wendy's and of course In and Out😊😋 Then we were in San Francisco for a short time, that was just awesome. Anyway, California is forever in my heart now and I will be back. Greetings from Germany

I am very happy for you, MIKE… The beginning of this video you even got me emotional watching you get emotional… I’m glad you’re happy and that your dream came true of touching the sign. You’re going to touch a lot of hearts in your lifetime.❤

Definitely better than a Vegas trip. So happy for you, Mike!

Nothing more than you deserve Mike, you're an emotional man and I love that you are not afraid to show it, this is why I love you're channel, a very genuine guy 💖 love from Ireland

You made me tear up. So happy for you! I hope all your dreams come true 💖🇦🇺

You made it, Mike! I’ve been here all my life and never had the opportunity the way you made it happen….proud of you.

Yeah Oscar is awesome I'm so glad you enjoyed your day a pinnacle in your life

Congrats GiV. I laughed my head off when you asked that skeleton how long he's been waiting there.

You did it Mike!! Dreams can come true, with lots of dedication and hard work! We ❤️ GIV!

You lucky devil.........to have the opportunity to touch history. We all wanna be there too.

YOUR LOVE OF THE CITY IS AWESOME !!!!!

GIV You have become a California Icon! Congratulations You earned it!

Now my jaw hurts from smiling so much!!! I love that you got to do this! How amazing! You deserve it! LOVE GIV!

The joy in your voice and on your face was awesome! Congrats !

Mike I’m born and raised in LA, I can say you truly embody what true Angelian is, you heart ❤️beats Los Angeles, people should be more proud of our great city and take care of it. Much respect.

All I can say is TRULY AWESOME! Thank you GIV for taking us up there with you!

That sign takes 400 gallons? Wow! GIV great pic of you back in the day.

So many of us are very happy for you!! Thanks for all that you do!

What a beautiful video on the Hollywood sign Danke

It is a honor to see you fulfill a dream, Thank you for your inspiration. Your tears brought tears to my eyes. You'll never know how many lives you've touched and encouraged, You are a blessing. Note: The Hollywood sign now has traces of your DNA and fingerprints.

Bro, that was cool showing all of us your emotions, your a class act. Great video 👍👍👍

It brings me joyment getting to see you fulfill a lifetime dream congratulations.

Its crazy to see how far we have came as a society in only a 100 measly years!

I love how you love this country! You got a rock and roll heart 💕

So very happy for you Mike! I cried at the intro of the video. Your love and passion for America 🇺🇸 LA and Venice is heartwarming. It was wonderful watching you first driving and not hiking hehe to the sign and then exploring and touching the Hollywood sign. See ya soon from Ronna in Arizona.

This is absolutely awesome 👍👍 I would be crying 😭😭. FANTASTIC

😃💝🥳🇩🇪👍 Wow ! Touch Down on the Hollywood sign! ☀️😃💝🥳👍 I can feel this overwhelming moment !

Such a beautiful opportunity for you Mike! You don’t need to explain why you feel the way you do. I remember when I got to LA and saw the Hollywood sign for the first time, I burst into tears. Thank you for always sharing with us! Much love from Canada. 🥰

So glad you're making your dreams come true. You make such great videos mike.

Great video GIV! 👍👍 HOORAY FOR HOLLYWOOD! 🎥🎞️🎬

I understand the emotion, I have worked in film for 30 years, and still love Hollywood.

You are awesome GIV!!! Your happiness and positive attitude are contagious! Thank you for this wonderful history lesson on the Hollywood sign.

Wow, ich kann nachvollziehen, wie emotional Du Dich gefühlt hast und ich gönne Dir dieses Erlebnis von ganzem Herzen. Mach weiter so :D

I gotta give yall props for having the balls to go down that mountain by the sign. I was literally cringing the whole way watching it in the video. Being a person whos scared of heights u couldnt pay me a million dollars to do that

That intro gives me hope and sadness. A first generation immigrant to this country that shows more love and appreciation to this country than 95% of the people in Los Angeles.

OH MY GOODNESS! That was amazing! I cried with you! 🤗. It's wonderful to see you fulfill your dream! I love how you match up photos! That's incredible. Was really cool seeing huel howser. He was my first KZfaqr! I loved to watch him. Thank you for your incredible videos GIV. As usual you are a joy to watch. Such a great spirit you have. I'm drinking my coffee this morning and smiling from ear to ear watching. Except when you made me cry. Lol. Happy cry! Love you. Since my husband passed my bucket list changed. Now I've added I'm going to find you filming someday! 😂

Hey Mike..I loved how emotional you became when your dream came true. It's more than just a physical thing, it represents your journey and the place you have made your home. I am recovering from long Covid, but your videos inspire me to get better and travel again.. hopefully one day I will be able to thank you in person. God bless sir.

Years ago, and what seems like a million miles away, you dreamed an impossible dream. You just proved that 'impossible dreams can come true.

Your positivity and outlook on life is contagious and people love you for it because after all it’s the small things in life that matter the most.

This was amazing! I'm glad you got this opportunity. You deserved it.

Mission accomplished, well done GiV! I visited Hollywood in the late 80s, got my picture with the Hollywood sign done on this trip and it hangs now in my home gallery 😀. Yes, I felt pride being there, coming a long way from Germany to make dreams come true 👍. Thank you for this great vlog.

I was born and raised in Los Angeles. My husband and I were in Germany 🇩🇪 due to the military. I haven’t been able to touch Hollywood sign cuz I’m now physically disabled. Love your zeal for life! You made me cry too. It’s so fun to watch you! Volks March down to the sign.

Wow! I love historic things. Thank you.

Great job buddy. Dream come true! God blessed

So happy you were able to make this dream come true, Mike!

German in Venice is the authentic OG of Hollywood!

It was nice to meet you! Dankjewel for taking the time to talk to my husband and myself. 😊

Back in the early 90s you could hike up there and not get in trouble. I have a photo of myself standing in the 'L"

Great video, thank you. You are so sweet to show your enthusiasm and emotions. Congrats on 297k subs. I remember your 100k vid. We need one at 300k. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I wish that my Grandfather had bought a house there when it was built in the 20's. A "cheap" one sells for $1.5 million now. I believe that the original sign was made of wood, and rotted out in the 40's. Great Video.

DREAMS DO COME TRUE 😃 CONGRATULATIONS GERMAN IN VENICE 🙌👏

What a great video! I didn’t know the story behind the Hollywood sign…now I know. Really interesting. And I can totally understand that touching this iconic landmark was emotional for you. Thank you!

Very happy for you, Mike. You earned your trip to touch the sign. The sign would hug you back if it could 😉

Ty GiV for posting this video! I'm so glad you got to visit, see, paint and touch the Hollywood sign! Keep up the good work my friend, you're doing a great job! God bless you Mike! Your living your dream!

Never hold back those emotions, it's part of who you are ✌️

Great video! I lived in LA for over 30 years, and I always loved the Hollywood Sign! Thanks so much for preparing this special video. I notice that you are getting really close to having 300,000 subscribers! Hope that you are preparing to do something special to celebrate! 🥰🎉

Seeing the pure joy for you to have fulfilled a dream made my sunday. I found your channel unfortunately from the videos of the decline of parts of the city and to see this makes me feel it too there's always a better way man. God bless you sir.

GIV has the hook-ups to do the coolest things in H’Wood - this was a really cool and unique video!

✨🎭 ‘🏆🏆🏆 ‘Congrats’ !!!🍾 🏆🏆🏆🎭✨🎈

I’m so happy you got to do this , sending a big hug! 🤗 Made me emotional to, and all the pictures and the information about this video was fantastic. I always love your videos, I look almost everyday to see if you’ve made a new one. Glad you shared your special day with us all !

I got quite close to the Hollywood sign about 40 years ago, standing on the road above/behind it. On that day we were there, not too long after a heavy rainstorm the ground was too muddy to safely go down and touch it, so we didn't. I'm somewhat envious that you got to paint it. Lucky for you, your dream came to fruition.

The Hollywood sign is the center of the universe!!

Dreams do come true.

Mike, you are absolutely an AMAZING person! I am proud and honoured to call you my friend. Even though I am 3,000 miles away on the Blue Ridge of the Appalachian mountains. We are so similar in life thinking. Appreciate the simple things in life. I am over the moon happy for you that you finally got to touch the sign!!! I hope you got to touch every letter. I would have hugged you when you became overcome. I grew up in Hollywood, in the 60's and looked at the sign every day for many many years, We drove up there a few times. Your background of all your videos and all the little personal feelings you tell us are truly unique in You Tube videos. That's one of the things that make your videos so special and sincere. Ausgezeichnete Arbeit!!! There are many things I would love to go see and remember in Hollywood. Mike listen to this next statement. This is no BS. If God ever found a way to get me back there, I would be overwhelmed and honoured to meet you!!!!!! Ich bete, dass Gott Sie mit einem langen, gesunden Leben segnen wird, mein Freund. Gott segne dich Mike!!! I pray God will Bless you with a long healthy life my friend. God Bless you Mike!!!

Yes! Giv you said you would one day do it and now mission accomplished 👏✅ so cool! Fantastisch 👍

Ich kann deine Emotionen durchaus verstehen! War bestimmt ein einmaliges Erlebnis. Danke fürs teilen!

Great day for you to live your dream Big Mike, good for you

Really awesome ! Only been there once and it really is an iconic landmark. Congrats Mike !

You did it @Germaninvenice ! Now you can thank me for encouraging you to go up there! Congratulations!!!!!!!! You didn't SNOOOOOOOZE! So you don't lose! WINNING!!!

Well done, Mike! May all your dreams come true.

I'm SO happy for you Mike! If anyone deserves to do this, you do. I feel your excitement and enthusiasm and you're a great ambassador for Hollywood. Wait until your mom sees! I would like for Arnold to meet and greet with you in Venice but I wouldn't hold your breath. Maybe one day if he has something scheduled there for an event it may happen for you.🤞

Thank you so much for everything you have done for us Mike!! 😀 You Rock!! Never stop being amazing!! 😀

Congratulation GIV so happy 😊 for you!!!!

Tears of joy right along with you! Congratulations on achieving this beloved goal of yours!! & thank you for bringing us along! I'm only slightly annoyed that lazy Arnold Schwarzenegger didn't come help you with the Hollywood sign!😅
