Glad you're staying so audibly hydrated!

:25 5:30 Even the dog can’t stand your “hydrating”! Lol

[@valpergalit]

Love these satirical videos, Steve. However, I think you’re misunderstanding “touch grass.” It doesn’t mean “stop thinking,” it means to get back in touch with reality and escape from whatever internet drama is overtaking your life. It’s actually good advice for these phone-zombie kids with 10 hours of daily screen time.

Once you reach 63, you will realize that advice/precept # 3 has some merit. I really enjoy going out to sit on the front porch with a pot of coffee and a book or your Kindle or a newspaper or two. You can include your dog.
(And say hello to neighbors as they walk their dogs)

Slurping on booktube.....I APPROVE!!!

[@MustReadMore]

This video is great. It's always so refreshing to watch you poke holes in all the nonsense. My dad went through a guru phase for a while. His infatuation with Yogananda Paramahansa - "How could he make all this up?" - made me want to tear my hair out.
Also, I like your mug, I haven't seen Large Lad in years

This was a Steve Classic. Loved it.

[@reneewisch6798]

Love the video, thanks Steve. Loved Frida's reaction to you slurping noise.

[@GinoSeconnino]

The obvious art of actually giving a f**k

[@michaelfeeney6108]

Nice slurping, fam!

[@librariesandlabradors]

I consider this a video essay. I loved it. Thank you Steve.

[@HannahsBooks]

You go outside-and find Dog. Isn’t that close enough for these slurpers?

[@konstantinos-6-6-6-8]

I don’t even know what video you are referencing but this was really funny!

[@donnakirby6998]

Thank you for giving me a good laugh!

When I turned 28 for the first time I like it so much that I decided to do it again next year. Highly recommend.

[@dreamofempire2114]

My my, Steve, how cynical you have become after only 28 years of life. I think you need to spend more time outside, barefoot on the grass in silence.

[@leopercara3477]

I love that Frieda was so confused by your behaviour.

[@greycinza]

I will be forwarding this to many people who desperately need to get a grip. Thank you!

[@joshuacreboreads]

You are hilarious, Steve!

[@FiReadsBooks]

Excellent life advice there Steve.

[@vesch5083]

How have you become such a sage at the dewy age of 28?

[@teresateri4803]

Ok i just now realise you have missed your true calling. Ive never laughed so much at one of your videos. Just a fantastic comedian. Lucky Bean gets to listen to your pearls of wisdom all day. More please, Sir.

[@DanielsBibliophagy]

I appreciate the mug

[@nathanfoung2347]

Pass the Calzones...

[@pinkroket]

I come for the book content, but I stay for videos like this. Thank you for making my day. 😄

[@cheryllovestoread]

Poor Frieda, I think she was worried about you!!

[@alejandrosilvasolis582]

Great video, Steve, thanks!
