That person's premise would potentially be good advise for the topic combatants in this case but...
I shall address the two potential errors in the video, since Votanic is fixated thus Mook's attempt to give him the hint contained, and Duke could be busy.
1. Grass was most certainly a word used more often than weed for the first image in the seventies. Main example of remaining evidence you might be able to find easily, would be an old sticker or T-shirt that displays the popular slogan, "Ass, gas or grass. Nobody rides for free." Possibly some George Carlin or Bob Neuhart audio recorded comedy clips. Though the you tuber is correct in explaining, the grass referred to in the phrase is the much more common ground covering type.
2. The gamer guy does not seem to be telling that kid to go outside and physically find some grass. I suspect he was taunting him after attempting to grease him in their game. If successful the kid's charicter would soon fall over ded, thus about to involuntarily, "touch grass" with any exposed fleshy bits such as their face.
Having wrote that... Turning off the computer, then going outdoors to "Touch grass." Is good advise here.

I don't think either needs to be "definitive". Both uses seem reasonable. I just believe the audio clip of someone attempting a Bat Dad voice during a game saying, "Touch grass kid!" was a different example.
Again...
Mookie's use of the video to suggest turning off the computer and at least briefly going outside is solid advise.

Yes good advise indeed. I spent last Tuesday through Thursday driving from Tucson, Arizona to Fort Myers, Florida. Took about 30 hours behind the wheel with several naps at rest areas. It was nice reconnecting with friends. Spent all day sleeping Saturday. Got some work to do to get my house on the market and then take a scenic drive back home in Tucson.

What the fork? That's a long drive... RSW has some direct flights from western states now just saying.
