In 24 hours, Simon manages to tattoo a junkie, meet a metal detective, spy on some beach shaggers, blag a free burger, sneak his way into a luxury pool, meet 2 subscribers and encounter about 50 absolute weirdos. Who cares if he doesn't know who Val Kilmer is, Simon is the legend here.😂
Was there in May..can confirm it’s extremely sketchy! 😂 homeless / drug addicts on all of the trains and busses. Honestly you’ll be okay if you visit sights during the day it’s mainly at night where it gets 10x more sketchy. Funny enough I stayed in Santa Monica and I would def say it’s by far the most “safe” feeling area of LA..the beaches during the day (even at night) is safe for sure (except Venice beach) that area felt sketchy at all times lol
It isn’t the same as it used to be. They keep changing the buildings ( ie the viper room will not be redone with apartments above it. The house of blues moved to a different location to make room for apartments.) Homeless got worse. Etc.
@@JordansAlwaysOntheGoyep, I went in 2011/12 & had the EXACT same experience. Homeless/drug addicts everywhere on the buses. Santa Monica safe & clean. Venice beach really sketchy & unsafe.
Simon u are a proper bad man 😂😂 they forgot ur burger in the drive thru then continue to eat the burger out side in n out then go back inside and re fill ur drink 😂😂
I visited LA for the first time (from the UK) and was very disappointed with the condition of the walk of fame and the Hollywood area in general. I felt so unsafe walking down there even in the early evening. Having said that, Santa Monica & Venice Beach was fantastic and full of the energy I was expecting. Take care Simon
I've been so waiting for this. By far the best travel series of any RUclips channel. So inspiring to introverts like me to try travelling further afield and new challenges.
Wow fair play man. A 24 hour no money challenge in LA is beyond tough. Im glad he made it through safely. I wish more people knew about Simon Wilson this channel is gold.
Grew up visiting LA, and Santa Monica in particular, in the 80's and it was always great. Was there in 2019 and the stories were true; it's a shit hole. Homeless everywhere, being told not to wander more than a few blocks back from the beach, only being a few blocks in most directions before facing the inevitable threat of crime. LA has nosedived. No wonder so many affluent people are moving out. Great video mind Simon! Just be safe.......
I believe the german Dude's name actually is Bastian, short form of Sebastian ( though I admit he kinda numbled it )... never heard of " Bastl or Bastel" and I am german. Enjoying this series very much, Simon! Keep on the good work ! greetings from West-Germany. ( by the way, come visit us ! )
Hahahaha. Outstanding, that fella on the beach who didn’t want to walk the same way and the girl on the bench smoking the weed I thought you were a goner 🤣🤣🤣
I thought u was guna ask Tim for some water but was probably your safest bet Simon you probably would of started seeing women and owls maybe even Val 😂😂😂
I’m also from Wales and travelled to LA last year with my partner and 10 year old daughter. We were also surprised with how rough the subway was. There were so many homeless and mentally ill people, people on drugs. We expected it to be like metro systems in other big cities but it was an eye-opening and scary experience. The Santa Monica line felt like the safest, we relaxed a bit more on that train. But we will def stick to Ubers if we go back to LA.
That was not weed that lady was trying to get you to smoke on that orange can, lol she was trying to get you on the crack so you spend everything you got and end up like her in 24 hours lol
Bro, so glad you went to Santa Monica, so smart. I would have never have thought of that. You have no boundaries. lol love it. Anyway enjoying the series and you are an inspiration ever since your 40 pound ride to Madrid. My channel evolves every video.
The guy you met in the Hollywood Hills is like a NPC you bump into on GTA 😂
😂😂😂
Best comment!
Was gonna say the same thing but in RDR2
GTA5 stays true to it´s inspiration
Life imitates art, as they say
Tim is one seriously weird guy 😆 🤣 😂 I cant believe they didn’t offer you a bottle of water they had so many
Yo Simon, at that point was not arsed about water, he just wanted to get the fuck out of there
The German guy was real confused 😂
😂
Probably because Simon calls him "Bastel" but his Name was Bastian😂
@@FlorianR2211oh Jesus 😅
@@FlorianR2211 Omg 😂😂
Simon slaughtered his name lmao
Even when people are rude, Simons still nice and friendly with the ‘see you later’ 😂
Have a good one mate
and no worries 😄
Its hard to be mean with that accent its just too friendly haha
Sadly not uncommon at all for Americans to be rude 😢
It's because we are english
Good old no money challenge! Back to where it all started 😂
These are the best ones
No money challenges are epic , especially when the hair is full of sand 😂
By garr it's been a while!
Tim would've definitely gave you a bottle or 2 of water if you asked 😂
Was saying the same thing
Yeah, probably Mixed with MDMA
Probably would have let him stay too!
Exactly! What happened to the “don’t ask don’t get” Simon?
I was yelling at my screen!
At least you blurred out the staffs face so they don’t get in trouble 😂
You know it's going to be good when it's a 30 min+ video
And he makes it feel like 5 min
It's 29;41

* Detectorist
I’m fully convinced LA is a simulation. The NPC’s he talked to are wild
sneak metro
26:28 Now that's funny! 😂️
Who also care if Simon doesn't know Allan Dwan
After watching this, there's no way anyone can convince me that LA isn't a simulation🤣
More than Sydney
Not a great advertisement for Los Angeles. 🤣 Love the series entertainment at it's finest!
Shirley is a rocket. Shame she didn’t offer a spare room 🤣
😂 love a no money challenge, sure you don’t Simon but they are fun to watch.
We love Shirley - She was totally thinking about inviting you home with her LMAO
Great as usual mate! One small thing, any chance of not making the thumbnails a big reveal? I love finding out as you roll!
Agreed!
THIS!
Seemed like it was a challenge in itself trying to get away from Tim 🤣🤣
Honestly you haven't sold me on visiting Los Angeles at anytime soon in this video Simon 😂

Every year I feel worse and worse for our tourists. It’s become Gotham city with no Batman.

lol. i wish more people had this sentiment. We wouldn't be so overcrowded with transplants wanting to "make it"
Simon dying of thirst meanwhile tim sitting there with a water bottle army
I’m sure the guy said Bastian and not Pastille 😂
The german guy being the only guy that Simon doesn't label as "lovely guy". I didn't think I'd live till this moment.
Bastell 😂
Didn't even call Freddy a legend. 😭
Btw. his name was 'Bastian', thats the short form of Sebastian ... ;-)
he was kind of suspicious about rolling the dice 😂
Not even worried about mountain lions or rattlesnakes on the way back down 🤣🤣
Simon u are a proper bad man 😂😂 they forgot ur burger in the drive thru then continue to eat the burger out side in n out then go back inside and re fill ur drink 😂😂
Can always rely on a stranger calling you Australian.might have to drive down the m4 and visit the outback sometime, great video.
Simon has balls of steel to do challenges like this, been watching tor years and he has still got it. Absolute Legend !
Balls? Bruh the amount of money he gets out of these videos is insane.
True , but he still has the confidence to get free food and jump the train ! I would be bricking it about getting caught 😅
3 hours out of breath come on
I visited LA for the first time (from the UK) and was very disappointed with the condition of the walk of fame and the Hollywood area in general. I felt so unsafe walking down there even in the early evening. Having said that, Santa Monica & Venice Beach was fantastic and full of the energy I was expecting. Take care Simon
The way Simon jinxed himself saying he’d rather do a month no money😂
I've always wanted to visit LA but everyone tells me how weird it is. This is the first video where I've seen exactly what they mean!
as a person from LA, usually going South or In OC is better (cleaner and overall more safer)
@@lakshmivallabh6936 Thanks, I'll get there one day!
It's a dump go to Disneyland CA instead and OC like the other commentator mentioned
I’m going in a few weeks. I’m nervous about it but I like to travel.
@@Ferrari-sw7nlin dec but more locations that that
LA is crazy man, so many weird and wonderful characters that could be straight out of GTA
Been there
This episode was wild😂😂
Giving some real old school no money challenge vibes.
I've been so waiting for this. By far the best travel series of any RUclips channel. So inspiring to introverts like me to try travelling further afield and new challenges.
Wow fair play man. A 24 hour no money challenge in LA is beyond tough. Im glad he made it through safely. I wish more people knew about Simon Wilson this channel is gold.
Simon is such a nice guy. He can make friends with literally anyone, so easy to talk to it seems like.
always love times when Simon decides wether to say his name is Si-mon (in a spanish way) or sy-mon in the usual way haha 1:30
Ha ha. I've found myself doing the same!
SimonE
Been checking RUclips everyday looking for this episode 😂
Traveling with no end, this is what we love! Keep it up Simon!
When that interesting woman on the bench was asking for your hand. Simon be like “no thank you!” 😂😂😂
How is it that your 30 minute video feels like it was 5 minutes? Mate I could watch these videos for hours! Be safe and keep moving!
Love the videos Simon! Only complaint is the thumbnail, it gives away the suspense on rolling the dice
Loving these Monopoly series, easily some of the best videos you’ve done
I’m loving this series on your channel. I light up every time I see your new videos pop up in my subscription feed! Cheers mate!
@6:00 Simon totally ignores the free water bottles the guys were offering as he tries to escape the chat!
Some guy on top of Mt. Chilead wants you to roll the dice for him.
This is a Strangers and Freaks mission.
You should have asked him for some water there was bottles of them right in front of you. Silly Billy 😂
that was kinda awkward 😂
love watching simon in los santos on vespucci beach
these videos can't come out quick enough! unbelievable creator.
Seeing an Irish guy in LA is the prime opportunity to do an Irish monopoly version of this!!
scenes when simon ends up doing a no money challenge in ballymun
Simon, you have become my favourite vlogger. I love your energy. You're so friendly ..
Happy days! LA seems surreal, was nervous for you but also intrigued! Love how you’re genuinely excited about meeting all kids of people.
Sorry Simon but I was delighted when he rolled a 3! Love a no money challenge
I'm from L.A and this challenge was absolutely mad. 😂 I wouldn't have done it, Simon is a G!

Great video mind Simon! Just be safe.......
10:35 love how you just walk into in and out and that worked saying I ordered a double double in drive thru and didn’t get my order 😂😂
My wife and I went to la in 2019 and it was terrifying. Fair play Simon.
This Tim guy is just like one of those characters in video games that you walk past and starts chatting to you
hope we dont have to wait another week for a new video, but this one was worth the wait !!
He's definitely taking drugs. Lots of drugs😂😂
Love the videos Simon! Every video is always a banger!
Simon don’t ever stop doing what you’re doing mate! Look forward to you’re videos
Klopp would probably ask him to roll the dice again 😁
Haha 🤣 ‘should replay the game reference’
ahahah
Is anyone else getting GTA San Andreas moments watching this? Honestly I haven't played it for ages and I now want to play it again!
Used too
When Simon calls you a weird bloke, you really know that you are a weird bloke.
😂
The fact he actually sticks to the rules... True one. Just for US. LOL
This episode was just comical. Can you just stay in LA for a week with no money 😂
Watching these videos make my day Simon!
What a series man. Simon is the goat!!
Thanks for throwing 3,Pascal. Now Simon has to do the “whole” board again😅
I can't believe you pulled that in and out burger off. Keep up the great work.
Seamon calling Bastian "Bastel" 😂
I believe the german Dude's name actually is Bastian, short form of Sebastian ( though I admit he kinda numbled it )... never heard of " Bastl or Bastel" and I am german. Enjoying this series very much, Simon! Keep on the good work ! greetings from West-Germany. ( by the way, come visit us ! )
I know bastl for sebastian (austria), but it’s not very common
I love that everywhere you go, people talking any language, we can always have a chat about the football
Makes A Monday Better When Simon Posts
Hahahaha. Outstanding, that fella on the beach who didn’t want to walk the same way and the girl on the bench smoking the weed I thought you were a goner 🤣🤣🤣
Bastian should change his name to Bastel now; the name has been absolutely slaughtered 🤣
Another great video, Simon never disappoints. The longer 30 minute ones are the best - keep them coming!
I thought u was guna ask Tim for some water but was probably your safest bet Simon you probably would of started seeing women and owls maybe even Val 😂😂😂
I’m also from Wales and travelled to LA last year with my partner and 10 year old daughter.
We were also surprised with how rough the subway was. There were so many homeless and mentally ill people, people on drugs. We expected it to be like metro systems in other big cities but it was an eye-opening and scary experience. The Santa Monica line felt like the safest, we relaxed a bit more on that train. But we will def stick to Ubers if we go back to LA.
the most fearless person in this world...
Love this series, makes my day every time. Can’t wait till the next one!
I can watch Simon all day long! Keep up the good work
Love the no money challenges, brings us back to your OG! Like hotel sleeps, etc. Def need some more of those too.
Niall was Irish I bet. From one Irish to another you can spot us a mile away with the accent and pale skin 😂
Yeah he was a Dub alright. I often wonder what takes people to far off places that aren't Australia or Canada!m
Definitely lol
It would be
Being fully dressed by a pool is the most british thing
I wish I had the confidence to travel on my own. I don't think I could do it, you make it look so fun! Love the content mate!
Maybe try a small, well-planned journey to start off with
It's really not hard
Thought something happened!!! Glad to see the video up
This is good now we have a longer series 😂
That’s what I was thinking
was waiting for this for a while
That was not weed that lady was trying to get you to smoke on that orange can, lol she was trying to get you on the crack so you spend everything you got and end up like her in 24 hours lol
When was this in the video?
Simon Wilson will always be a legend bro.
you should have asked the man if he liked Jürgen Klopp before asking him to roll the dice. Not liking Klopp should have been a red flag :)
Tim is one of those side quests strangers and freaks on gta
Bro, so glad you went to Santa Monica, so smart. I would have never have thought of that. You have no boundaries. lol love it. Anyway enjoying the series and you are an inspiration ever since your 40 pound ride to Madrid. My channel evolves every video.
Simon these Videos are absolutely quality mate! Respect to you 🤝
Simon: LA is sketchy. Also Simon: Was just in the drive up and didn't get my drink and double burger... haha
The Simon Wilson legend grows with another no money challenge.
Dont think Tim was playing with a full deck of cards there, we love val.
No money Challenges are always the best..you always find a way to make it through..great video brother
I love how you get called Australian in almost every video 🤣
Love these videos keep them coming!! Do another lap on the board
Good to see Simon suffering makes up for all those free maccies!
4:40 bro 😂 them two are straight up stranger mission side quest characters from GTA
