Damn cheech and chong... My mom would have loved this video GIV. We had watched every single one of your videos up until she passed on 12.24.21 it's hard to watch your videos without her. I miss her so much.
Chong is 85 years old and Cheech is 77! But you'd never know they were that old. They have both aged remarkably well and I'm so glad they are still with us today! 👏🏻🍃🌿
I was 18 when UP IN SMOKE came out. I just retired last year. I listened to their albums faithfully. Nice to see Richard and Tommy are still with us. Rock on, man!
I wish they made more movies. Cheech and Chong were the men back in the day. Very Funny movies even in todays standards. I think the only reason it was criminalized years ago was because anyone could grow it and it would cut into the mainstream Alcohol profits, Government Profits, and Big Business PROFITS. ruclips.net/video/KFbHVOveK2M/видео.html
Funny, I also retired, and the drive end movies, I was there maybe 16 years old. I miss those times. I used to go to the drive-in lakewood, Elmonty, spelled wrong. Sorry, I actually went to all of them in those areas .if you ever remember a 66 GTO jacked up big tires black top ..that was us ..
I’ve been a huge fan of these guys ever since I was a teenager. Their style of comedy makes me proud to be a pothead😂 I’m glad to see they’re still having fun, thanks as always GiV!
I never miss your videos! Got to meet Cheech at a charity golf tournament in Cleveland SC. That's right. Cleveland SC! Love everything you do. ❤ from South Carolina.
German in Venice doesn't have to get high, he's a vibe naturally, all the time! That is so dope! I'm an avid cannabis consumer, but I admire that you move to the beat of your own drum! Keep up the great content!
Great job Mr.GIV, so nice to see Cheech & Chong are still out & enjoying their lives while “giving back” to their fans. It was so cool to see the 64 Chev Impala too.❤
Thanks GiV... I grew up listening to Cheech & Chong in the 70's. Doctor Demento used to play their comedy skits on the radio (KMET 94.7) and us kids would come to school the next day and reenact them. It's good to see they're still hanging on, being themselves.
I was an extra in Cheech's movie, "Born in East LA." I was filmed in a lot of scenes, but when the I watched the movie on the big screen I realized I was cut out of most of the scenes, and saw myself on screen for all of about 3 seconds, LOL!!!!
I had the great fortune to see Cheech and Chong live when they came to my hometown. After the 2 hour or so performance we were in agony, our stomach and sides were hurting so much from the constant laughing. They are comedic GENIUSES! 😂✌
They have always been so kind to fans ,always free signings and generally love to meet their fans.Bless these two men.I met cheech years ago but still need to meet Tommy.
BORN IN EAST LA... SING... SO cool to see them again. I last saw them in Laughlin Nevada. I don't smoke either, but almost everyone in the audience did LOL... I got high that day whether I wanted to or not. As always..... LOVE your videos. DAVE's NOT HERE... he's over there 🤣
I wish I was there! I've been a fan of theirs for decades. It's great to see that there are still people watching the movies and listening to the albums. Great to see the "Love Macheen" up close, too, looking just like it did in "Up In Smoke"!
As a production assistant in the mid 1980s, I was once tasked with picking up a 35mm film print in Pico Rivera and bringing it to a screening room in Century City. Turns out Tommy Chong and his producing partner, Howard Brown, wanted to do some "research" and watch Jim Jarmusch's early work, Stranger Than Paradise. Tommy asked if I wanted to watch the film. I was going to return it after the screening, so why not? Just the three of us watching an intriguing and weird film in a small screening room. Afterwards, Tommy asked me what I thought of it. I recall saying it was good, but weird and have been a fan of Jim's work since. I was starting my career and wanted to be professional, but man, Tommy Chong! What a nice guy. I consider Up In Smoke one of the funniest films ever made.
They are super supportive and receptive to their fans and the public. What great guys, unlike other celebrities who avoid the public and even look down on the common folk.
These two i remember as achild at a drive in and as i got older im 48 now & since i was a child & saw my relatives laugh cause of these men they have alwaysbeen two of my comedic favorites legends 💪🇺🇸✌️
Hi GIV....I saw Cheech & Chong in 1970 at 'The Bitter End' in NYC. This was before they became famous...they were absolutely hilarious !!! They were the opening act for a band. I think the band was, Ten Wheel Drive...not sure.
I met Cheech here in Tucson Az. when he was filming that show with Don Johnson, he was at a hole in the wall bar just chilling and keeping a low profile, people started bugging him asking to do his skits from the old movies and he got frustrated and left, was a cool guy and I shook his hand before he left, too bad people chased him off...
Aww Man 😮 I wish I could of been there 😮 Cheech ... I love his favorite line "Let's get Chinese 🚬" I love them men ... "Man" thank GIV for the video ✌️
I remember when I first heard their records in the 70s when I was a kid. Then Up and Smoke came out....these guys are big part of my childhood. Looking good and smiling faces! Great to see them together.
Cheech and Chong were huge in Australia in the late 70's. Can't believe it's nearly 45 years since 'Up in Smoke.' Piss funny, even when you're not whacked..😁😁. It would have been great to meet them.
Thank you so much GIV, for always being on top of things all around in L A. I was so happy to see Cheech and Chong they still look good. I really wish I could have been there.. GIV please keep up the good work that you are doing, We love you.!,!
I'm so glad Venice Beach is Back Baby!! That's what it looks like, when a City really cares enough to do something about homelessness. It effects Everyone. I remember, just last year, everything was closed and there were tents as far as I could see. It was really sad. Not only for the homeless, but the business owners. I wish they would help the people on Skid Row.
I ‘was’ born in East L.A. [Los Angeles General Hospital] My wife & I saw these two when they were still working colleges. We saw them in the C-SUN gymnasium, Northridge. We sat on the floor. Maybe 1971.
OMG!!! I ❤Cheech & Chong!!! Up in Smoke is such a good movie... I remember going to the movies to see it several times! The 70's... good times!!! 😵💫😵💫😵💫
*_That looked like it was a lot of fun, GIV. C & C definitely are moving somewhat slower these days, but they (as always) seemed very friendly & easy to conversate with. I love it when celebrities do a 'little extra' like this to connect with their loyal fans. It's definitely a WIN-WIN 👍_* *_TRIVIA TIME:_*_ From what I've read & seen over the last 25-30 years, there are still a LOT of folks that don't even know that the once VERY popular 80s/90s actress Rae Dawn Chong is the daughter of Tommy Chong. Hmmmm... 🤔 well, now you know. LOL._ _And yep, I remember that I nailed this answer one 'Trivia Night' at my local bar back in the early (pre-Google) 1990s._
I met Tommy Chong when I worked as a Producer at a radio station in Calgary Canada in 1993. He showed up early for his interview and I sat with him for over an hour. He is an amazing person when you get to talk to him about his life. His interview followed a Belly Dancer and he insisted she stay for his segment and the host was this uptight strait laced type middle aged woman. Tommy took complete control and had the Belly Dancer teach him how to move while the host tried to go through her prepared questions. He threw all the rules out the door and stood up on the big table with the mic's and brought the Belly Dancer up with him. Both of them up on the table belly dancing in front of the uptight protesting host. I fell over laughing so hard and was never ever able to regain my composure. I kept the show on the air though the exhaustion from laughing and the tears in my eyes and my dire need to pee. I have never laughed that hard ever since. I have met a lot of famous funny people through my work, but hands down- Tommy Chong was the funniest man I have ever met. Thank you for sharing your special talents with us that evening in Calgary Mr. Chong.
When I was in high school these guys were so popular. Their comedy. Cheech Marin was in the movie, “From Dusk Till Dawn”. With George Clooney. Harvey Keitel. Good movie. Funny. Crazy.
It doesn't matter what you film, it's always interesting. It is your genuine caring personality that makes people watch your content. Keep up the good work. :)
We really owe it to Lou Adler, owner of the Roxy, for producing those amazing Cheech & Chong films we all grew up with. Lou started the whole stoner movie genre.
Great video Mike, thanks for taking me along. So cool to see Cheech & Chong! I'm 74 and from SoCal and remember them very well in the 70's. Melaney from SoCal
I remember when I was 11 yrs old. I bought the Big Bamboo album and found a big rolling paper in it!! So my friends and I bought a couple of lids of Columbian Gold and got wasted! Couldn't finish it though!! LOL, THANKS FOR SHARING THIS!!😊
Cheech and Chong are so iconic!!! It's so cool that they're still with us and enjoying life!!!
It's amazing how far they have fallen...toke 'em up though!!
I just spoke of them a few days ago. What a wonderful life, then and now.
I’m glad your crowds are showing up.
and yet they were never pot smokers
just actors ;p
biggest disappointment
Cuz of all the good ganja they smoke
Getting old is brutal. I love Cheech and Chong. Always have.
Cheech and Chong transcend several generations. True legends.
They did a huge disservice for Marijuana acting like a couple retards. They were not funny that is the saddest part.
Yessss!
I used to follow them. I stopped cause they’re boring 🤣😂🤣
They’re Awesome I watched them perform at Casino 🎰 Rama in Orillia Ontario Canada back in 2010.
@@dakmycat3688they weren't funny.
Watching on my 69th birthday. In Minneapolis we would go downtown to watch their movies. So much fun in the day love em!
Cheech...78 y/o
Chong.....85 y/o
Amazing that they are still alive.
Cheech is 76 turning 77 in July
And Kickin'
They've been consuming their "veggies" at a high rate to stay healthy!
It's the weed , keeps um young 🌱👍
Why that's not that old
Have a drink on the 4th of July from Singapore. Thank you for your hard works.
Damn cheech and chong... My mom would have loved this video GIV. We had watched every single one of your videos up until she passed on 12.24.21 it's hard to watch your videos without her. I miss her so much.
I feel you!

Great to see Cheech & Chong still alive and kickin

Wow, how good the guys look.
Man, up in smoke was in “78”. They’ve been doing it forever! Their comedy skits were way before that even. Love these guys. The funniest duo ever!
Absolute legends!!! Love their movies!
WASSS-SAAAAAPEN-INGGGGG!!!
Im glad after the time they spent not talking or getting together, they reconciled. It makes me smile seeing them both together
Money
@@mrbill9248
They were making money when they stopped working together and stopped talking to each other.
Life fly's right by, 1978 and here we are today, great comedy still appreciated. GIV on point as always.
Chong looks great - I'm surprised that he's 85!!! Cheech is like 9 years younger. They Rock!
@metalmike570 my aunt is 85

My other aunt is 91 years old ( same as Bill Shatner)

I never miss your videos! Got to meet Cheech at a charity golf tournament in Cleveland SC. That's right. Cleveland SC! Love everything you do. ❤ from South Carolina.
I’ve been a daily smoker for 30plus years … and I watch GIV ..let’s go weed smoker love❤️❤️❤️

Saw them in Columbus, OH back in 1972, still makes me chuckle 50 years later!
All I can say is, ‘We had so much fun back in the day’
These cats added so much with their talent. Even up on the res in Northern Minnesota.
Love these guys still living their best life! Great video GIV
So cool! It’s so nice to see Cheech and Chong take their time with fans, and so fully immersed in what they do! Class acts! Thanks for sharing!
These guys are legendary. “Dave’s not here” so funny!

Danke das du aktuell so viele Videos machst. Ich freue mich jeden Tag.
Don't fret, Mike! I love all the videos from the beach! Seeing Cheech and Chong was great too!
2 classic guys we will never forget!!!
Whether you smoked or not, Cheech and Chong were the shit back in the day. Everybody loved them,even my grandma.
Love these guys. The first comedy Album I ever listened to.
I’m gonna replay “Earache My Eye” again as a tribute to those great California icons, Cheech and Chong!!! 😂😂😂
I used to listen to their Christmas special on the radio when I was a little kid. Up in Smoke is a classic too!
I had the great fortune to see Cheech and Chong live when they came to my hometown. After the 2 hour or so performance we were in agony, our stomach and sides were hurting so much from the constant laughing. They are comedic GENIUSES! 😂✌
German ,you’re blessed too meet those legends. That is the car from their first movie.
Nice gathering and good to know that they (C&C) are still friends as so many "teams" seem to drift apart as the years go by.
Great to see them. Brings me back to the Big Bambu days! Sister Mary Elephant!
CLASS, CLASS......SHUT UP!!!!!!
Class class shut up
Thank you
"I'm not old, I'm classic". Totally agree with the thought. Good to see Cheech & Chong still with us. Rock on...
Love from New Zealand. dont worry about it, and if they do , don't worry about it.
They have always been so kind to fans ,always free signings and generally love to meet their fans.Bless these two men.I met cheech years ago but still need to meet Tommy.
I was just at Venice beach on Thursday and I missed Cheech and Chong and the GIV! Bummer!
Love you GIV! Thank you for taking us to all the cool places
That windshield visor was awesome !
In the 70s my cousins and I wore out their records we played them so much. Kept us laughing for hours.
💯 I miss comedy so much.
its unbelievably cool to see those two guys together again ..
GIV you never disappoint me, love when Arnold comes out!

Unreal that Tommy Chong is 85 now! He's battled cancer and still looks great for his age.
Should have told Chong you rode that little bike all the way from Humboldt County! IYKYK. What an honor to get bagged on by one of the greats 😂

Yes its all about money. I remember listening to them on an eight track in my bedroom in high school, 1973.
I'm so glad Venice Beach is Back Baby!! That's what it looks like, when a City really cares enough to do something about homelessness. It effects Everyone. I remember, just last year, everything was closed and there were tents as far as I could see. It was really sad. Not only for the homeless, but the business owners. I wish they would help the people on Skid Row.
That's great. Where did all the homeless go?
Not much has changed. They just make the homeless put their tents up during the daytime.
