  1. Good morning Tim @ Steve I love your program, I look forward and watch it every week. Steve I picked up that you live on your social security from the states. I want to also retire in Thailand but was told I can only stay out of the country up to 1 year, and if I stay longer they could deny me the benefits, if you know the answer, could you share if its correct. I would love to hear your take on this, would help me a lot. Also want to support both of your channels, look forward to your response. Respectfully, kevin.

  2. A life without dreams and hope, is a life jail sentence! The song that Steve uses for his show by Trevor Fisher, states it all! The hits just keep on coming, thanks for the great show fellas!

  3. Tim are all these sayings you mentioned came from England because i heard the exact same saying coming from Singapore when i was young which was ruled by UK before they left.

  4. Sorry to comment three times but hey. I watched the first show twice because it was so enjoyable. I have watched this episode twice also, your best to date. I love the way you (Tim) step back and allow Steve to be himself (don't think you have much choice). Just keep it going guys.makes my Sunday morning brighter 👍👍👍

  5. It sounds like Steve needs to go to Christines in Patong and blow off some steam.. And it's expensive i know, but you'll get clean as well. 😋 Thank's guys for a lot of laughs.

  6. congratulations on the most popular english language youtube show!
    please discuss the issue of weak beer in Thailand
    i am 100 pounds and i can't feel anything after three bottles
    i find it very annoying, because i don't enjoy cocktails, strong liquor or those dreadful buckets containing who knows what
    are you annoyed by weak beer too?

  7. Steve, I wish they would make a law in Thailand and get rid of these youtubers that don't show their face or take responsibility. For now It's just something you need to live with and not let it get to you. Cameras are everywhere now and I don't think the genie of privacy is ever going back in the bottle.

  8. Arnold Schwarzenegger was the governor of California, not Los Angeles. Or was it said in jest to prove your senility? After all it's the "Grumpy OLD man show"

  9. Mother's advice: "don't mix bleach and ammonia," "don't mix vinegar with ammonia," "don't mix vinegar with hydrogen peroxide," "don't run with scissors," "don't run with knives," "don't put a plastic bag over your brother's head," and, of course, "wait 30 minutes before going swimming after you eat" (I guess we got 30 knocked off up here in the Great White North!).

  10. Glad to hear Steve that you achieved your dream of retiring in Thailand. I had a same dream I retired 3yrs ago receiving 2100cad in pension. I am still here in Canada still paying down my mortgage and struggling to make ends meet. How did you manage to retire in Thailand when your social security is only 1500usd a month which is way below the Visa requirements of Thailand.?

  11. My Mum used to tell me i could only eat 1 raw string bean, as she was preparing them for dinner as they were poisonous raw.
    Years later, standing there with my sister as she was preparing some for dinner, I ate one raw commenting that i knew theyre poisonous raw, but I love them raw.
    My sister asked who told me that? I told her and she informed me that she probably said that so I wouldnt eat them all before dinner 😅😅😅

  12. Tim, I see you said you had the roughest week in sixty years and there was a problem with your Marigold Mountain, can you tell more about that if you feel up to it?

  13. Outstanding, never stop, never change! Listening to and watching this show is one of my favorite parts of the week! And please, Steve, continue to always say exactly what’s on your mind, and the truth, which I think you always do!
