Grumpy Old Men - Episode 63 - June 8 

Sorry Tim, but there are tons of female Muay Thai fighters and champions from Thailand... Check out stamp Fairtex she currently holds three different championships

Tim, your shirt is a touch small

If you are going on and on about Mental Health I'm off ! I'll give it 5 minutes.

Those shirts look fabulous on you Steve! Well done Gordon! 👏

I've just subscribed to Steve's new channel.... now up to 968.... almost there Steve!

From the Wikipedia entry on root beer: "Root beer is a sweet North American soft drink traditionally made using the root bark of the sassafras tree Sassafras albidum or the vine of Smilax ornata (known as sarsaparilla; also used to make a soft drink called sarsaparilla) as the primary flavor."

Good to see dumb and dumber are still around. Thought at least one of them would be gone by now.

Thumbs up 👍 Newton

In England, we had jackanory. It was brilliant,,,, available on RU-vid 😂😂

The corrector is correct Steve, they are actually removing the baffles from the exhaust pipe 😂

Great show: liked the part Tim got it wrong 😂

The "sataw" is commonly called the "stink bean" - and for very good reason. One of the Thai Holy Trinity of Offensive Stench that includes the stink bean, fish sauce from dried minnows, and the famous durian.

A long time fan loves your shows and sends love & support to you guys, Roswell, New Mexico, USA

39:00-40:00 you could get the brown skirt as a co-host. Great show gentlemen. Perfect way to unwind after a Saturday of work at the "Lazy B".

Love the shirt! 😊 Great to see you guys! ❤

Damn you guys scored with the shirts!

As a long time Martial Artist I can attest the human foot can do a lot of damage when bear. More in shoes and actually less in trainers. I have broken and had broken various bones from kicks and its the bones in the foot that do the damage not the muscles or skin. Conditioning just allows you to ignore the pain from kicking and have the confidence to apply more power. After the feet elbows then fists can also do more damage than people think if you hit the right/wrong spot.

I’m totally with you, Steve, on the last millennium ending at the end of 2000.

Gordon I said in my mind In an instant I was with Gordon lightfoot The song Don quixote In front of me I thought of Christ and his parables I like parables you can step in and walk around Bit like this song "Don quixote "

That thing is so loud 🤣🤣🤣 I want a smoothie too.

Now I want to hear about the one time Tim was in a fight

about washing forks and spoons in hot water: i guess the reason for doing so is because it would be “cleaner” than before. doesnt need need to be sterilised. good enough.

I had Sasperella back in73 at cafeteria of Polytechnic, when doing partime study.

Yes, there was a tiger balm garden in Hong Kong. I was there when I was a kid too.

Really love this grumpiness

You guys are a great combination; do this more often!

So much for Thais not pointing their fingers. That group behind you around the 18 minute mark were pointing their index fingers all over the place while you guys were talking. 😆

I love the shirts that both of you are wearing today.

Steve, Green Tea is different taste to Jasmine and I love both

Hi Tim and Steve. Regarding the food courts and the use of hot water at dish/utensil stations. From what I have seen, the utensils made available to customers at the dish/utensil stations appear to already be cleaned. The hot water is available to any customer who wants an added level of safety by immersing their utensils. If a utensil is first cleaned properly, it is then only needed to be sanitized...not "sterilized". Sanitization happens when a utensil is placed in a pot of water for about 30 seconds at a temp of only about 170F (77C). From what I have seen (I didn't measure :-) the water looked hot enough to be at least the temperature noted above. BTW, the words "sterilize" and "sanitize" are often misused. Sterilization occurs at 250F (121C) or higher so that even spores are destroyed. That level of destruction is not needed (and would be cost-prohibitive) at a typical food establishment since we humans can consume spores without any pathogenic problems. It's only the vegetative pathogens that get us sick. Plus, IF the establishment is doing all the other washing steps they are supposed to be doing in the dish/utensil cleaning process (I know, it's Thailand) then the vast majority of the microorganisms are removed simply by friction and water.

Steve got it wrong segment. Motorbike Mirrors - I ride motorbikes in Thailand to get through the traffic. The Thais remove them to make their bikes narrower to get through the cars. Tim you’re right … it doesn’t make the bike narrower because they don’t protrude past the ends of the handlebars but the missing part of your equation is Car external rear vision mirrors which miraculously are usually the same height of a motorbikes mirrors. Therefore motorbikes mirrors hitting car mirrors is the issue. When I see a Thai on a motorbike going like the clappers, invariably they have no mirrors. Not emphatic. Love the show.

I look forward to creating as much solitude as possible. Exercise, advancing health, good food, peace. Still considering where to hang my hat. Carry on gents

Great show guys, you had me laughing! . . . I lived in Chengdu, Sichuan, China (where the giant pandas breed) and I would often "wash off" all the Chilli/Sichuan peppers from my food, in the green tea. Something, I'd forgotten about. Some traditions in China are very foreign, like spitting in the street (usually men over 50) and spitting food on the floor or table - depending on the quality of the restaurant. China is an amazing country and overall my 6 years was a fabulous experience. Their people, individually are special.

Enjoying the show, love Steve’s new shirt.

I'm up in rural Isaan. It was fun to see the restaurants customers going and coming behind you two. Totally a different type of clientele from what I would see in my area. Two different worlds.

awesome shirts

Sunday mornin checking and I’m already laughing my ass off! Vitamix’s have single-handedly dominated the restaurant bar business now required in our homes; and I REFUSE to spen equivalent of a car or mortgage payment on a machine made with plastic!!! They USED to be all metal parts. Like every business everywhere in the world those loudass machines run for ‘smoothies’😱good god how DID I live without them before😝🦩💨. Thank you once again for the ‘show’. Thought I’d share a few memories hope you enjoyed them take care🙏🏻🦩💨😎ps. They DO make a plastic cage for the vitamix’s and works very well but also cost prohibitive! FYI. TTFN

We’ll miss you Steve, circle back for a cameo-

Motorcycle mirrors are not wider than handlebars. However, they are the same height as most car mirrors, so it it easier to filter through traffic without mirrors.

Here's a couple of Thai name's that get's butchered. Sriracha and Bang Saen Beach.

I lived in Paris as a starving artist, for over 4 years, the greatest City in the world, visited over 38 states, and other countries

Dr Peppers tastes for me like pink Wicks Bubblegum. Can't buy it in South Africa anymore.

42.20 Steve got it wrong section....it is indeed spelt Bain Marie....but is pronounced Ban Marie. (French)

Is there a link to Steve's new channel

Another entertaining hour. Thank you gentlemen.

Sarsaparilla is made from the Sarsaparilla root. Root beer from Sassafras root. Pretty similar.

Is true, in the old times a woman couldn’t touch or stand in the ring. And farang and Thai fighter use to train separated never together..

In Asia there's sarsi ? Is it the same as sassparilla ?

I thought 'root beer' and sarsaparilla were made from the root of Aniseed (Daryl could have got it wrong).

Jasmine tea is green tea with Jasmine flowers.

Love this ❤😂

Out here in isaan football is huge between the provinces, I’ve been to a couple of games watching surin fc.. was on national television both times also…

Steve,I think you are correct with the mirrors. My son got a nice motorcycle and the first thing he wanted to do was remove the the mirrors (too be cool). Mother and myself had better ideas and after a few near misses, a lot of Yak Yak they got put back on 555

Wow Tim. So you started Phuket Extra. I know you started The Thaiger. And now you have Tim Newton Today and Beach Houses Thailand. All this after a successful career in Australian broadcasting. You certainly inherited something from your parents. I'm guessing your mother because you don't mention your father as much. Regardless, I admire someone who doesn't just talk about an idea but actually makes it happen. Not me, unfortunately I just do the talking part 😊 By the way, my favourite moment when following you on the Thaiger was when you were doing an outside broadcast in Phuket during the pandemic, and a woman riding past on the back of a motorcycle shouted out "Thaiger is the best" or something very similar. Good health to you and Steve.

Steve you talked about the other news dude with the book shelf, does he wind up the Budda(not Budda) before the show?. Have you seen Tim's book case, things change daily, where did the old mics go? pictures come and go, light colours change, plus its on an angle. lol

Brilliant program thanks Tim and Steve.

You and Steve together are so entertaining. Love these shows.

Brilliant 🎉

Hi! Tim n Steve...😊😊😊😊

While you are there some time can you please ask how much it costs to play golf there?

Keep it up Steve, 5 weeks 👍👍👍

Beautiful shirts,stunning

Steve you’ve also been to Springfield Massachusetts! You told me you gave Holly Hunter hives there. 😝

I think George Gershwin’s Piano Concerto in F is a much more substantial piece, but Rhapsody in Blue was more influential on popular music. I don’t think it moved the dial for Classical music as much as say, Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring or Bartok’s Concerto for Orchestra or many of the symphonies of Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Sibelius and Vaughan Williams. Your mileage may vary. Should we pronounce cities the way locals do? I doubt it - I am from Glasgow in Scotland - we pronounce it Glezgah with the stress on the 1st syllable.

Don't buy..rent!!

Thanks again gentlemen. As always entertaining and fun.

Paris had a big light show at the Eiffel Tower. I was there in December ‘99 also. That’s about all.

When I get invited by King Charles 111 to go for dinner at Buckingham Palace I'm gunna ask for meat pie, peas and gravy and tomato sauce and the same for the second course. My favourite dinner dish. Important info was invented by John Mellian, an Aussie icon.

Book request added for JP. Lets wait and see 555

I think it might be Alexander's Ragtime Band is said to be the original 20th century pop hit .

If I get a night or two at one of the beach houses Tim I’ll be a fill in GOM for sure.

Hiya, apparently Nullaboor means null arbor as in no trees

Wobbly table . . .you are in the Ring of Fire 🌋

Steve got it right, well in my book of facts, he's always rite, even when he's wrong. Sounds like someone I know, and she is loved very much by me. Maybe I am adverse to verbal punch ups.

Steve, which New York night club did you work the door at for 2 nights?

Nice shirts I am jealous !! 😢

Older soldiers have mostly died in past years. Much of present-day wars are a lot of IT. Much of the time they never see the enemy. That's progress.

Regarding the sanitizing of cutlery, I believe very hot water for a few seconds would work. Being a dishwasher technician at the local Chinese food restaurant in high school I had to test the dishwaher once a week to make sure it was running hot enough. And it didn't run that long. A brief search says the surface temp of items need to be.. "160°F (71°C) and holding it at-or above-160°F (71°C), for at least a few seconds" I don't think I would operate on myself with those utensils, but eating Chinese food should be just fine! 😂

Sarsparilla used to taste like the old insect spray in the pump cans smelled.

Tim it only cost $3000 USD for hair transplant in Turkey include 5 star hotel and pick up and transport to the hotel and top clinic. " If I could turn back time"

Daffy duck saying the line when trying to open a door to a hidden treasure "Open Saskatchewan? Open Sarsaparilla??

I used to drink hot sarsaparilla and eat a bowl of jellied eels in South London's East Lane market many moons ago. They banned sarsaparilla due to the root causing liver cancer apparently. It's a different recipe now. I travelled by bus from Adelaide across the Nullarbor Plain back in the late 90s to watch the Wright Whales doing their migration. Never saw one. My tongue was as dry as a camel driver's saddle blanket, during the fourteen hour bus trip as I couldn't buy a beer. We were in an alcohol banned area for Aborigines. Promised one for when we arrived at the 'Motel'. It was shut! Back in 1997, my thirty year old son was banned from the Captains Bar in the Oriental as he was wearing shorts. We all packed up and left. Rhapsody In Blue. I used to play the four opening notes on our war damaged piano after watching the film when it first came out in England. A great film. I must confess to this being the first time I've watch Grumpy Old men right through and I enjoyed it. At 90 I'm grumpy enough. But not all the time.😉

Gents, thank you for the show! It is appreciated. Keep up the fun work. Always entertaining.

Funny thing Tim, the first Muay Thai I've saw live was with 2 teenage girls. Once again Steve lives with his facts his read from books.. old books 😏 Girls, from children and teenagers to women compete as regular albeit a smaller number than say men but yes females do Muay Thai in Thailand

Great show guys! Steve you are right. There are many female Muay Thai boxers.

Well done Steve on quitting smoking! , here is more power to you.

A Bain Marie is for keeping food warm, containers with the food in sit in hot water to keep it hot without burning it.

Sarsaparilla was made from the Sarsaparilla vine, while Root Beer, roots of the sassafras tree.

Thanks again Tim and Steve 😊

Piano-badly, not poorly?

Lotus'sususususu 🤣🤣🤣

Sassafras or safrole, key ingredient in mdma, who would know❤

Always great stories!!!!!!

Steve's new sponsor-Beach house Thailand? Just kidding guys :)

The motorcycle groups are called "dek waen" not "dek win". With them, removing the mirrors is probably mostly fashion, but many of them race as well. Removing the mirrors does indeed cut wind resistance. They remove parts of the fairing for the same reason. And wind resistance is also the reason some racers ride in the Superman style. They can put big money on the races, so they'll do whatever they can to give themselves an edge.

Steve Got It Right! When you start counting, you say, "One, Two, Three", you don't say, "zero, one, two..." So 2,000 was the last year of the 20th Century, and 2001 was the first year of 21st century. I had to argue this quite often in 1999. Why are you not going to ask Steve's Mother if she would like to talk to you on a Grumpy Old Men video, when she is there, for many reasons. First and foremost, anyone who brought Steve Rosse (with an E) into this world in the first place is obviously a person of interest. Secondly someone of her age is going to be interesting to talk to. I tried to talk my mother into travelling to Thailand again in her mid-80's, but she had no desire to endure the 12 hour flight. However if you do this, you would have to ban Steve from being in the same room! I don't think you would get the scoop if Steve was there, just a hunch! Keep up the good work Tim, I don't extend this sentiment to Steve as he is going to take a hiatus when his mother is there. I can understand his rationale, but question his stamina! I'm sure his mother would not object to Steve doing Grumpy Old Men when she is there. Topic for conversation: What's a Monger? Is it a bad thing? I am not a monger, I'm married, I will be retiring to Thailand and one of my hobbies is birdwatching, does that make me a "Bird-monger"? Is that a thing? Feel free to discuss... TTFN

Great show guys.. yeah they take off the mirrors because it’s cool.. that’s all.. dek when are all over the country Also ..

Per Google, Historically, root beer was created using the root of the sassafras tree while sarsaparilla used the sarsaparilla vine as it’s main ingredient.

i know a few guys in CM who married caddies. offering a golf transport package might be an idea

In reply to motorcycle/scooters removing there side mirrors. I really didn't know this was a thing. But the only thing I can think of, would be to make them easier to park, in those large parking areas in Thailand where there are thousands of bikes squeezed into a small location
