You are so talented Steve. Your modesty is alluring and your story telling incomparable. Have a fantastic Parade.

I hope the Turtle Parade goes well for you Steve. I'll bet the couple who commented on your retirement were frustrated and unhappy. No matter how much money some people have, they will never have enough to escape their low quality selves. Thankyou for making our Fridays better! -Ash

I think you have the perfect retirement! I'm retired, and I make assemblies on machine tools, just for fun. Doing things that engage your brain and spirit is essential. Keep doing what makes you happy. Thank you Steve!

Friday’s and Sunday’s are some of the best times of my week. I look forward to Tim’s and your content. 😊

After watching you create your beautiful turtle art for the past year I feel as anxious as you waiting to see photos and video of you leading the parade. Great work Steve! Thank You 🙏🙏🙏

There are photos and videos on my Facebook page... Just sayin'. Sniff.

In my outlook on life, you are on a win, win, retirement compared to the yatch/condo owners out there who are snobby about how others live. It's your boat to float YOUR way. We look forward to Friday and Sunday each week to enjoy your wit and humour ... not to mention seeing your artwork (those snobs can call it whatever they want). 😊

Thanks Steve. Some people just can't grasp the simplicity and solitude of your happiness.

"How many more nights like this are you gonna have? Stay up. Enjoy it." Words to live by at any age, brother.

Grumpy Old Man from Redwood City, California Checking In!

When the second car passed by during the opening.. I heard in my head Steve Rosse saying "There goes another car .. what is this... BANGKOK all of the sudden??!!???" LOL.

Thank you for sharing the story about Henry Darger, what an amazing life! I found a quote by Thomas Edison that I really love which goes like this "To invent you need a good imagination...and a pile of junk". I have always loved folk art and I have made thousands of refrigerator magnets using a variety of different materials. Maybe when I die my sister will discover them! Love your stories and am happy to listen to them every week! Keep going! Happy Trails, CZ

Hello Mr. Rose. I always enjoy your stories. Thank you for introducing me to Henry Darger’s world. I performed only a surface search and found his story to be quite fascinating. Perhaps one day your art will also be in a museum.

I love your enthusiasm telling your stories and also your humor. And your art is so unique and creative. It’ll be a fantastic festival! Hope you get some sleep.

Very interesting story about the chap from America. You conveyed the story such kept my interest all the way till the end. Keep up the good "retirement" work.

Good Steve Great stream as usual.. I do wish you luck and just like Congratulations to you participating in "the Turtle day" parade ..very proud of you . I love how you have involved yourself into Thai society . Well done ..😊

How about Steve Martin playing Steve Rosse?

A shame that English actor comedian Harry Worth is no longer with us - he could have played Steve quite convincingly.

What you 've been doing is great ! go ahead, one day people will known the value of your work ! I support !! ❤❤❤

I enjoy seeing your life in your "nirvana" of Turtle Beach. While I am still searching for mine, I have long discovered my purpose in life that gives it meaning. I am an English teacher here in Thailand now, with eight years in China as a teacher. My current Nirvana is in Chiang Mai, but it is difficult to see past all the smokey haze in the air...ha ha. You and Tim are permanent fixtures in my week. Deal with that reality. Seriously though, thank you for bringing me a smile and good feelings with your presence in my life. With so much content to choose from online, and only a limited time to watch things, I have gravitated to two "grumpy old men" who provide something special to my life. Many blessings to you both.

@@steverosse I have said similar things on his channel. I always find it funny how you both collaborate with each other, yet you remind us viewers that you are separate. You in particular concede to the fact that it is Tim's channel, and you are just lucky to have Tim ask you to participate. Many viewers do not see it that way when we see you and Tim working together. We see you sharing a common platform. That platform could easily be transferred to your channel, and no one would think otherwise. It is still an equal partnership of Steve and Tim's Grumpy Old Men. If either of you would be replaced for some reason, Grumpy Old Men would no longer be what we expect. The original is always better than any reboot. One final note: Tim gets many questions and comments about you on his channel, but how many people ask you about Tim on your channel. I wonder who is the real favorite of the Odd Couple?

Thank you dear brother. Looking forward to seeing the appearance of your years-long labor of love tonight, when shown online. Stay well. Love you brother.

Always something to learn from your vlogs. You belong to yourself, becoming one with what you are doing. And definitely you are no loser. You bring ideas, images and experiences of your adventure in Turtle Beach. I think a simple life is the best for body and mind. Keep on being creative Mr Rosse. All the best.

Enjoy your story. Thank you Steve. You have such a unique view on life.

Great story! Happiness is where you find it. You’ve found it. Enjoy it. Looking forward to parade footage! Take care.

Steve, you've got it figured out and I can only hope my pending retirement inThailand is half as good as yours!

Dear Steve, I would say you are a winner in retirement, indeed a gold medalist in my book. They say, and who are they? They are them that are not us! "The secret to happiness is, achieve more or desire less". Art as in beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Keep doing what you do buddy, it is not the Meek who shall inherit the Earth but the Trash collectors and more importantly the recycle rs.. Fab story BTW. GT

Fascinating...live long and prosper (she says in a Spock voice) 🖖 No seriously Steve this vlog is an educational wonder... Henry Darger....never heard of him until this morning. For that i thank you sir!! Have a wonderful time in the parade!!

What a fantastic story. Steve, you are a great story teller. I look forward to your weekly expose

Steve, I'm excited for the big day. I hope it is a fantastic day for you. Hope you can relax a bit and get some sleep.🐢🇹🇭🐢

Don't worry what people think about you, it's how you think about you that counts. You get a thumbs up from me 👍

I hope all went well with the Turtle Parada. You need to remember what you enjoy and makes you happy is better than doing what others think will make you happy. Thank you for being you

Interesting story! Hope it goes well on the parade and can’t wait to see the clip of it.

Dear Steve: I’m an only child too. I’ve read there’s a disproportionate amount of only child Farang men in Thailand. Whatever that means. 🤷‍♂️ You’re no “loser.” I admire your Crossword prowess; I can only complete the New York Times Crossword Puzzle up to about Wednesday. 🙏🏼

All the best, Steve.

You’re an inspiration brother. Keep on keeping on……

Yo Mister Rosse. Your Lighter Turtle looks awesome. Number 1 in my opinion even I have not seen the other turtles yet. Good luck ! 🍀🍀🐢 😃👍

Hi Stevo, you're far from a loser hoarder. I think you're a winner and envy your life. No woman to stress you out but you get to enjoy your woman of choice on the odd occasion, plus you live on your own terms. Sounds like paradise to me ❤👍🙏

Thanks Steve. Greetings from Ratchaburi....Turtle Beach is on my bucket list..Cheers.

Man to man.....freshly shaven always looks sharp dude, have a great day

Have a great Turtle Parade, Mr Steve Pilgrim Rosse.

Belatedly completed the Oliver Stone Trilogy with an £8 purchase of 'Heaven & Earth' on Prime. Lovely to witness your Set Dressing and name in the Credits, Steve 👍 Enjoyed the Henry Darger story. So many unsung heroes working behind the scenes.

The parade is going to be great, can't wait to see you and you're float taking part. Thanks for the video Steve.

Thanks Steve, you never fail to be interesting. People can be very quick to criticise which is either to demean the victim or as an effort to raise their own self esteem. Both are toxic IMHO. I believe in each to their own as long as they are not harming somebody or something. Don't forget to enjoy the parade & live in the moment.

Love it Steve, thank you

Great video. I vote for Eugene Levy to play Steve.

Can’t wait to see the parade & your turtle ART. I seriously LOVE the installations on your wall. You could sell these easily. My favourite, as is yours, if I remember correctly, is the puffer fish jaw collection. (Barring the incomplete chess set, of COURSE!. Side note. Name it “The Steve Rosse incomplete symphony”… !) Loved my sojourn at Thai Muang. Happy as always to get my weekly fix & revisit it in my mind. Thanks for telling us about Henry Darger. Fascinating.

I wish you the very best of luck with the Turtle Beach Parade this year Tim , great vlog as usual.

@@alansmith4387 It just means I need to consider getting a new publicist. Stardom is hard.

I actually did a course on Outsider Art back in my art college days. Fascinating subject. Then when I was living in Switzerland a few years later I made a “pilgrimage” to a very famous Outsider Art museum in that country (oddly it was NOT in a major city although I think now it’s been relocated). Anyway, very rabbit hole worthy subject And yes, Clooney or perhaps that other actor with the giant black eyebrows to play you. Was it Richard Benjamin or something

Ignore all the doubters Steve if you can! What matters is that you are having an interesting and fulfilling retirement. I am retired and attend a men's shed twice a week where we make 'stuff' out of old wooden pallets. It is mentally stimulating and keeps the old brain box ticking over. We also get to 'play' with workshop tools. What you are doing with your retirement maybe only suits a small minority of single guys but in my humble opinion shure beats the hell out of propping up a bar all day and grumbling how s@*t life is. You actually have the best of both worlds as you have your freedom to go exploring on your bike, potter about in your studio getting your hands dirty and if the notion take you then you can head off for a few days of 'adult' fun. Rock on Steve 🤣. You are the man! 😆 Good luck in the Turtle Festival. Hope you enjoy it and don't fall asleep due to nervous exhaustion 😟.

Attachment and detachment.... some people seek happiness in their attachment to things .... some people seek happiness in their detachment from things... Steve Rosse seeks happiness from doing simple things and leading a simple life.. to each his own... until someone figures out what life is all about, lets us all age gracefully doing things that make us happy.

As always the hi light of my week. Thanks mate.

I don’t know art but I know what I like and I hope people judge me by looking at me, not my stuff.

Great story!

Steve and Tim big day in Turtle beach soon . ❤

Everything is looking good and ready to go, have a good time in the parade! I knew I loved you Steve when you can compare yourself to George. That takes some big turtle rocks. I once sat in Husongs bar in Mexico all night doing Tequila shots with George. Just me and him. Then we had to go back to work. One of my best memories.

Was. It able to comment on the festival vlog. It was however a credit to you.

Great Story

👍 Enjoy your life Steve.

Thank you for my Turtle Beach fix. You are the highlight of every week...

We really enjoy your videos!

Good Luck Friday, Steve. March on!

Thanks for another great vlog Steve, I always learn something new like Henry this episode. Ignore the naysayers if you are happy then life is always good 👍

Steve, may I recommend u hire yourself a girl/boy Friday to help expedite all sales & ease of shipping overseas... Artwork looks colourfully impressive! Look forward to the nxt vid! Enjoy the day! Cheers

Looking forward to see Khun Steve lead the Turtle Beach Festival ! I couldn’t believe George Clooney cuts his own hair ? But I think Khun Steve is younger and have ample knowledge of the film world indeed krup ❤greetings from Sydney Oz 🎉

I find your videos interesting and entertaining. In a sense, in your stories, you’re also sharing your philosophy and your life history. Your retirement, your videos seem to be your Magnum Opus. It gives you, and others pleasure. You have overcome your anxiety in these videos, to tell your story - good for you. I don’t quite know how I will spend my retirement, exactly. It probably won’t be the same way you do. But that’s ok. Be well. Be happy. Be creative. Illegitimi non carborundum!

Congrats Steve and wishing you much joy and success on your proud march to history and fame on Turtle Beach. Do us grumps proud young sport.

Hi Steve you make me smile everytime I watch your videos 🙂😊😀🙏🙏🙏

Thanks for a great video. Have fun in the parade. Enjoy the day.

Neat story! I’ll have to look that fellow up. I didn’t realize the tents/festival was like right outside your door, lol. I always assumed it was down the street for some reason. Can’t wait to see footage from the parade!

Had ear problem yesterday $69 nz all fixed amazing to hear again

Well done Steve, been following you since you were on the podcast with the Irish lad.Have a great time at the parade. Look forward to the footage.

Have a great festival Steve 👍

Great to see all your hard work pay off for you Steve! Enjoy the ride! 😊

You should have a small advert for your KZread channel somewhere on your float and see if the numbers of subscribers jumps after the festival. Good luck tomorrow, you deserve some recognition for your hardwork.

67 and retired I would be right there beside you

Love the two jokes at the end

Nice. Going to be great. Have a great parade.

Hey Steve your intro says it all

Love you Steve. 😂😂❤🎉

Not sure where your critics have been but there are plenty of museums of modern art full of arts and crafts and installations. Australia has a number of them.

welp here is some more attention, love you content

steve... Chillax😘 What's new?🤔

Great story anecdotes on your academy short film award and the part you had in the movie and the poor artist who in life got no recognition at all, but in death his lifelong art collection sold for a lot of money... Sad irony indeed... A reflection of our dysfunctional society values too, in a way .. Have a great weekend Steve. Thank you for sharing and caring. Cheers

I'm glad you enjoyed the story. But I have to disagree with you about "dysfunctional society values." Since Mr. Darger never showed his work to anybody during his life, society can't be blamed for his obscurity or poverty. As soon as society was introduced to his art society placed great value on it and on the memory of Mr. Darger. I see it as a hopeful story.

Addition- Had never heard of Henry Darger previously, just think that both artistic geniuses may have sat next to each other in some coffee house off Rush St. in the '50's? ! lol (Vivian Maier)

Also probably aged out of the role (now 78), but if I was doing the casting, I'd have picked Steve Martin to play Steve Rosse in the bio-pic.
