Today we're in chapter 9 of Matthew. We're going to be looking at verses 18 through 26, so let's begin reading together in Matthew chapter 9 at verse 18. I'll read to verse 26, and we'll get into our study. Matthew chapter 9 beginning at verse 18. Matthew writes, while he spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, my daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live, so Jesus arose and followed him, so did his disciples, and suddenly a woman who had a flow of blood for 12 years came from behind and touched the hem of his garment, for she said to herself, if only I may touch his garment, I shall be made well. But Jesus turned around, and when he saw her, he said, be of good cheer, daughter, your faith has made you well, and the woman was made well from that hour, and when Jesus came into the ruler's house and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd wailing, he said to them, make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping, and they laughed him to scorn. But when the crowd was put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose, and the report of this went out into all that land. We've already seen that Jesus has returned to Capernaum by way of the Gadarenes, and he's once again ministering somewhere on the shore of the sea of Galilee. A relatively short time before the people of the Gadarenes that actually had a request of him, they had asked him to leave, but in this portion of scripture, we encounter someone who has saying to him, please come, and please help. In a moment, we're going to see that there is one person who is especially anxious to see Jesus Christ. This person is a synagogue official. We know his name, his name was Jairus. This time, I'm going to supplement, once again, I'm going to supplement Matthew's account with both Mark and Luke's record of this event, because Luke and Mark give us more detail that Matthew didn't present to us. I'm going to be looking at some of the things that are written in the Gospel of Mark as well as the Gospel of Luke, and tie them in here to help to build up this and give more clarity in this passage. As we look at this, we're going to see that it begins in verse 18 with Matthew saying, while he spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him. Now, this event is taking place after, obviously, verses 11 through 17 here in the chapter, chapter 9. This is occurring after Jesus spoke with John's disciples as well as the Pharisees. And when we looked at those passages, we saw that Jesus was giving some basic information concerning his ministry. In verses 10 through 13, I pointed out to you that Jesus came to save those who were lost. And when we looked at the other verses after that, Jesus was making it very clear that the old way of life and the life of the Spirit were incompatible. So now what we have in this passage is another event that helps to clarify the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ. What we have here in this passage is an account of a man, and it begins with a man who is a ruler of a synagogue by the name of Jairus, who's coming to Jesus Christ and is asking for help from him. Now, we know his name is Jairus, even though Matthew doesn't record that, because Mark tells us in chapter 5 verse 22 that his name is Jairus. Jairus means whom God enlightens. So a man by the name of Jairus is coming so that he might be enlightened by God. Jesus is going to teach him something and show him something that is going to actually make his name more apparent. He was a synagogue official, referred to as a ruler. So when you looked at the synagogue, you would see that they had officials there. This man referred to as a synagogue ruler, was an administrator. And so he had the job of overseeing order. He also had the job of inviting people to read or to speak in the assembly. So he was a ruling official. Being a ruling official probably would make it likely that he was aware of the opposition that had been mounting against the Lord Jesus Christ. He was more than likely a Pharisee. And yet the Bible makes it very clear that this man who more than likely is aware of the opposition because he is more than likely a Pharisee, this man comes to Jesus even though he knows that there's controversy surrounding this young rabbi. Now why would he do that? Well it was because he was at the end of his rope and he needed help desperately. Matthew is treating this as something unusual because notice with me in verse 18, he began by saying behold. And so this is something that deserves to be noticed. It's unusual when a respected religious official actually comes to somebody like Jesus Christ. It would seem that his concern for his daughter overwrote any misapprehensions that he had. This is a man who was willing to put aside anything that would keep him from coming to someone that he thought could be of help to him because as Matthew is writing he has left his home greatly concerned because his daughter is at the point of death. Our babies have an ability to weasel themselves if you will into our hearts. Any parent or grandparent knows exactly what I'm saying to you. There's just something about them that causes them to just find a home in our heart. There's their personalities, their silliness, the cuteness.  This little girl meant everything to this man. It was his only little girl. She must have charmed him. She must have blessed him. She must have made him happy. There's just something about him. I have granddaughters now and grandsons and I have two sons and two daughters and I know something of this. My daughters weasel their way into my heart. My son's dead and now my grandchildren are doing it. I have now eight grandchildren. One of them's name is Zoe. Zoe's just a little bit over a year, about 16 months or so. And Zoe's got this idea that she can dance. So we'll put music on when she's in our house and just to watch her. Because we have to find the right. It has to have a beat. But when we find something with a beat to it, she'll stand there and she gets... She's very tiny. She'll stand there and then her body starts moving to the music. It is so funny. I had her doing it yesterday. All of a sudden she'll... I'll tell Marie, I'll call Marie and Mama. I'll say, watch Mama. Turn the music on. And she's... All of a sudden she stops, like the music's in her. And all of a sudden she, with her left hand, starts to... And her left shoulder, she'll just... It's just the left side. She'll just start going like this. And before you know it. And then she's turning it around, doing that. And it makes me laugh. I have to tell you. Because me, it's my right. I wear this white suit and I do this. But anyway, that was from another era. But she has weaseled herself into my heart. It's not hard to do. That's a fact. But you have this love for these babies. They're charming, they're silliness. I have no doubt in my mind that Jairus adored his baby girl. He adored her. You know, again, I have sons, I have daughters. There's something about your baby girls that has a different kind of... There's a different kind of relationship that you have.   I'm sure he's aware of the controversy that Jesus is now stirring up. Because Jesus is doing a lot of miracles. He's doing a lot of works. He's making a lot of statements.  And so he's hearing that Jesus is nearby and he leaves this house and he tells his wife, he says, I've got to go and I've got to speak to Jesus and that's what we're seeing take place here. He is there looking for the Lord Jesus Christ and as Jesus is ministering Matthew tells us a ruler came worshiped him saying, my daughter has just died come lay your hand on her she will live. Now we're going to look at that in some detail in a moment and give you a greater insight by combining Mark and Luke because when he left the house his daughter was still alive but during the process news comes to him. I'll show you that clearly in just a moment and get the chronology of that down so you'll see this. But this is a synagogue official he is a ruler and he's come to speak to Jesus. Matthew takes notice of it by saying, behold and as he comes before Jesus he worshiped him.  It would involve Jairus kissing his feet or the hem of his garment or the ground before him. What it is showing us is that he has humility and need. He is actually humbly throwing himself upon the mercy of Jesus and humility is something God regards. Psalm 147 verse 6 says the Lord sustains the humble but casts the wicked to the ground. Proverbs 3.34 reads he mocks proud mockers but gives grace to the humble and so he humbly is throwing himself before the Lord because he has a need that he believes Jesus can meet. By comparing Luke's account we get more information concerning his situation. In Luke chapter 8 verses 41 and 42 Luke writes a man named Jairus a ruler of the synagogue came and fell at Jesus' feet pleading with him to come to his house because his only daughter a girl of about 12 was dying. He loved this little girl with a great passion he is beside himself with anxiety. He was more than likely aware of some of the works that Jesus had performed. When you read Matthew chapters 8 and into chapter 9 it records that Jesus had healed a centurion servant he had healed Peter's mother-in-law so it's worth taking a risk. After all, what do I have to lose? So Matthew begins this portion after word has come that Jairus' daughter is dead but Mark points out that Jairus waited until the last minute to approach Jesus only when his daughter was at her worst did he approach Jesus Mark 523 says he begged him earnestly saying my little daughter lies at the point of death. I have no other hands on her that she may be healed and she will live so he believed that Jesus would move on his behalf and he humbly makes this request and the request contains a genuine element of faith that Jesus could and Jesus would help him. In Jeremiah 32 verse 27 God says behold I am the Lord the God of all flesh then he asks a question is there anything for me? In Hebrews 11 verse 6 the writer says without faith it is impossible to please him for he who comes to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him I am the Lord is there anything too hard for me seek me and you shall find me and that's what's taking place here so as we're looking at this we're seeing a couple basic things regardless of their station in life. Gyrus's advantages didn't exempt him from pain because both the rich and the poor suffer a loss and secondly in our time of sorrow and pain we should come in faith to Jesus for help from him because he came to Jesus he worshiped him he prayed to him and ultimately he trusted him. The Bible again gives us a promise Psalm 50 verse 15 where it says and you shall glorify me. In Hebrews 4 verse 15 and 16 we do not have a high priest who's unable to sympathize with our weaknesses but we have one who has been tempted in every way just as we are yet was without sin let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need it only makes sense to come to the Lord for help he is able to do it and we ought to approach him even as Gyrus has and so Gyrus is convinced that Jesus can heal his daughter it's worth taking a risk after all what do I have to lose and he approaches Jesus Comey says lay your hand on her she will live verse 19 says so Jesus arose and followed him so did his apostles or his disciples to see that Jesus took time to minister to this broken hearted father and he goes with Gyrus to minister to the little girl but the crowd begins to press in all around him mark 524 adds Jesus went with him and a great multitude followed him and thronged him so as they walk you can get this picture Jesus is walking a crowd begins to form around him and they're desiring his attention in the midst of this if it were you and say that you had you had gone to get a doctor and your child at home was in need and you went and picked him up to bring him home for some reason and yet the freeway is jammed and you can't get anywhere you're just stopped there in the flow of traffic there's no longer moving Gyrus must have felt as he's walking with Jesus he's approached him come and help and Jesus is coming with him to his house and yet the crowd sees it taking place and now they're all surrounding him and Gyrus has got to become frantic at that moment the little girl is in need and yet the crowd is pressing in one of the things we see in this then is that we're not the only ones in need of help from the Lord even though we may feel sometimes that we are the only ones but during this time verse 20 through 22 tells us suddenly a woman who had a flow of blood for 12 years came from behind and touched the hem of his garment for she said to herself if only I may touch his garment I shall be made well but Jesus turned around and when he saw her he said be of good cheer daughter your faith has made you well the woman was made well from that hour so the multitude following Jesus are pressing in around him he has no room to walk freely but there's a woman in that crowd who's been hemorrhaging for 12 years she may have had a disease of some sort a tumor and Jewish religious law has rendered her ritually unclean you see according to the law of Moses in the Old Testament according to her condition her illness exempts her from any physical contact with other people she would be regarded as what is called ritually unclean according to the Old Testament book of Leviticus chapter 15 verses 25 through 27 when a woman has a discharge of blood for many days at a time other than her monthly period or has a discharge that continues for a period she will be unclean as long as she has the discharge just as in the days of her period any bed she lies on while her discharge continues will be unclean as is her bed during her monthly period and anything she sits on will be unclean as during her period whoever touches them will be unclean he must wash his clothes bathed with water he will be unclean until evening so while in her present condition she was unable to be part of the Jewish community she was cut off she was separated and yet she has heard that crisis passing by and she makes her way into a crowd undoubtedly she's contacting other people because of jostling and yet in her mind she simply has to get to him no matter what you see she had done all she could to be healed and she too is at the end of her rope Luke tells us in chapter 8 verse 43 that she had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any Mark in chapter 5 verse 26 says that she had suffered many things from many physicians she had spent all that she had and was no better but rather grew worse one Bible commentator spoke concerning the medical practices of that day and he writes that there were 11 different cures prescribed in Jewish writings for example he said well if you want to the doctors would say if you want to have this particular malady doubt with well you should carry the ashes of an ostrich egg in a linen bag in the summer and in a cotton bag in the winter one of their other cures was that you're to carry around a barley corn kernel that had been found in the dung of a white female donkey so no wonder she's getting sick even worse she had done all that she could she wanted to be healed medicine knew no cure for her illness she's declining in her health sometimes our best efforts simply are not enough she had not only lost her health she lost her wealth and now she's seeking Jesus Jesus again is her last resort as he's passing by she really approaches him she comes from behind touches his garment saying repeatedly if only I may touch his clothes Luke 844 tells us that she came from behind and touched the border of his garment now during the time of Christ every Jewish male had four tassels on the hem of their shawl to remind them of the law of God in Numbers chapter 15 verses 38 through 40 we read speak to the children of Israel tell them to make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations and to put a blue thread in the tassels of the corners you shall have the tassel that you may look upon it and remember all the commandments of the Lord and do them and that you may not follow the harlotry to which your own heart and your own eyes are inclined and that you may remember and be holy for your God and so they had blue thread and so you could see this person and you would know that this was a Jewish male which gives you some insight into the conversation Jesus had with the woman at the well the woman of Samaria when she was looking at Jesus and said to him how is it that you being a Jew are having a conversation with me being a woman of Samaria and John says because Jews have no dealings with Samaritans when you looked at a Samaritan and you looked at a Jewish person they would physically look the same and it was a Jew undoubtedly it was the tassels that he had in his garment and so they would wear these tassels to remind them of the law of God and so during that time there was a belief that when Messiah would come there would be special healing powers in the hem of his garment now where did they get that from it appears almost to be superstitious well when you look in an Old Testament book called Malachi the prophet Malachi makes an interesting prophecy prediction about the coming Messiah it's found in Malachi 4 verse 2 where it says there to you who fear my name the son of righteousness shall arise with healing in his wings the son of righteousness was another way of speaking of Messiah so to you who fear my name Messiah the son of righteousness shall arise with healing in his wings now the word wings when it says shall arise with healing in his wings the word wings is a Hebrew word kanah it is the same word that refers to the border of the garment where the tassels were fastened and so she believed that by reaching up to that portion it was a fulfillment of Malachi's prophecy concerning Messiah who rises up with healing and that's the reason why she was reaching to touch the hem of his garment so as this is taking place verse 22 Jesus turned around and when he saw her he said get out of here no he didn't he said be of good share daughter your faith has made you well and the woman was made well from that hour her faith was immediately rewarded she was instantly totally and recognizably healed mark 529 says immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction where all other help had failed her trust drove her to reach the one who could help her and immediately when she had reached to touch him she sensed that within herself the healing had taken place she also sensed that something had taken place somebody had reached out and touched him by faith and he responds to that once again mark gives us greater information in mark 530 Jesus immediately knowing in himself that power had gone out of him turned around in the crowd and said who touched my clothes Jesus sensed someone touching him in faith and demanded a confession but it's a confession of praise that he is demanding like it says in psalm 107 verses 8 and 9 oh that men would give thanks to the Lord for his goodness for his wonderful works to the children of men for he satisfies the longing soul and fills the hungry soul with goodness when blessings descend from heaven we take the time to thank the one who gave them the disciples are oblivious to what's actually taking place and they actually question him one of the reasons why I feel so drawn to the disciples is because I see myself in them because as this is all taking place and put yourself once again in the scene Jesus is walking a crowd is jostling him as he's trying to get past there are people making demands of him then he stops and he asks the question who touched me and you've got these men around him his men around him and so naturally they begin to wonder what's going on how come you don't understand what's going on he once says his disciples said to him you see the multitude thronging you and you say who touched me there are times when the Holy Spirit is doing a work that others can't see there are things that may be taking place that somebody can see that somebody else can't see there are things that Jesus obviously would know that his disciples didn't know so they're asking a question that they don't have an answer for so by asking him why are you saying the crowd they're bouncing into you there are so many people reaching out to you how do you know when one person touches you and somebody else didn't why are you saying that well as this is taking place it's interesting to note that Jesus is in no hurry but I'm wondering what Jairus is thinking because Jairus is the one who's trying to get the master to get to the house and as he's bringing the master there he can't move and he has to have some anxiety that's growing within him well Mark 5 31 and 32 says that Jesus looked around to see who had done this and she fearfully came forth Luke 8 47 says the woman seeing that she could not go unnoticed came trembling and fell at his feet in the presence of all the people she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed now she misunderstood the Lord she thought she was in some kind of trouble but he just wanted to bless her not to scold her so notice Matthew 9 22 when he saw her he said to her be of good cheer daughter your faith has made you well he speaks to her lovingly like a father he praises her for the faith that she exercised she became an evidence of the grace of God Psalm 114 says he has made his wonderful works to be remembered the Lord is gracious and full of compassion now as this is occurring Jairus is still waiting for Jesus and bad news arrives he receives the words that stagger you Luke 8 49 while he was still speaking someone came from the ruler of the synagogue's house saying to him your daughters dead do not trouble the teacher how do you handle that when you hear words that stagger you how do you handle that what do you do with the pain what do you do with the grief what do you do with the sorrow what do you do when somebody says something like that to you when something painful happens where do you turn Marie gave birth to Korean she gave birth to my David and then when David was several months old she speaks to me and she says I'm pregnant then I say again who's the daddy again and me I'm just going man I've already got two children I don't know that I'm ready for a third and I go through that like oh I don't know how to feel right now kind of thing that I went through and then I embraced wow we're going to have another baby God God will provide I know he will and one day I'm in the front room at our house and my wife goes to the bathroom and she comes walking out a moment later with her face ashen and in her hands a baby that she had just miscarried some of you know or don't know that we had another pregnancy I have four children alive and one in heaven and I still remember my little wife walking out with her hands like this and she said oh no how do you respond how do you respond where do you go when you have pain like that I'm in the hospital room and the doctor comes out and says we did our best we couldn't do anymore I get a phone call from my sister Rebecca several years later sobbing on the phone mama died in my arms where do you go when you're hurt when you're in pain when everything around you is spinning what do you do when somebody walks up to you and says to you the light of your life has just been extinguished don't bother the master any longer your little girl is dead what do you do Jarvis had already done what he was supposed to do but could he for a moment start getting angry at the Lord you stopped you had to take care of that woman could he have gotten angry at the crowd how come you stopped him he was on his way to my house I came to get him and you stopped could there be anger in him yes could there be frustration in him absolutely could there be such sorrow I mean what do you do when you hear somebody say don't bother him any longer your daughter is dead the pain must have been an instantaneous kind of thing the hope is dashed and what am I going to do he was reeling there's no doubt he heard this news but Jesus also heard and he immediately spoke to him Luke 8.50 says when Jesus heard it he answered him saying do not be afraid only believe she will be made well don't be afraid hold fast to me Jarvis you can choose how you're going to react to this news you can make a choice trust me even in the midst of your pain now that may be a bit easier to do in as much as he just saw the Lord do a work in a woman and yet it's a woman who is saying that she was dried up and the fountain of her blood was no longer flowing Jarvis more than likely didn't know her but the Lord had done something for her and Jesus turns and gives his word to him do not be afraid only believe she will be made well and so it says in verse 23 when Jesus came into the ruler's house he saw the flute players he could hear the noisy crowd Jarvis has Jesus come to his house even though everyone is saying it's too late don't bother him Luke 8.51 tells us that Jesus brought with him Peter James and John as well as the parents of the little girl he brought his men to encourage their faith in him because he was about to do something that would strengthen them and he walks in and he makes a statement verse 24 he says make room for the girl is not dead but sleeping and their response when he said that is they laughed him to scorn you see as they walk in the ritual the Jewish ritual mourning is being observed they would tear their garments they would hire professional mourners they would cry loudly they had professional musicians who would play loud disconcerting music that was intended to reflect emotional grief as well as confusion so if you would to walk in there you would hear people crying and making loud wails and you would hear this music that was all not in any kind of tune and the confusion would have been amazing you know if you were a person with a lot of honor and wealth you would have a lot of people show up to show you special special honor in that and so that's what's going on when they walk in you can almost hear the confusion in the chaos that's going on because that happens that'll happen in the midst of things there'll be people who are making noise and causing disruption when it ought to be a time of peace I've had that happen more than once in various ways maybe even had that happen in a wedding I can still remember I was performing a wedding this was over 30 years ago now I was performing a wedding and the young bride was in the bridal room and I always when I do weddings will come into the bridal room and I'll spend time with the bride I'll pray with her and speak to her and encourage her and all of that and that's my habit and that's what I'll do and so as I walked into this room on one occasion on one side of the bride was the mother-in-law to be on the other side was her biological mom her mama was there and as they were there they were standing over her and they were talking loudly and they were arguing and they were making demands of her as I walked in and I stood there and the room had several others in it as I'm looking at this mother and this mother-in-law to be as her you need to where's this and then I look at the bride and as I look at the bride her makeup is running now she's crying because the stress she's going through with these two women it was like two vultures you know so I walked in I was like 33 years old not even that and I saw what was going on and I walked up to moms both of them and I said you're going to need to leave you're going to need to leave the room well there's you're going to need to leave the room they flew away and I looked at this little girl and the tears that she's and I said listen baby you're beautiful this is going to be a beautiful time don't let the stress and pressure get to you you need to let that out of this room and you need to breathe in the spirit and what God wants to do you're gorgeous it's going to be a beautiful day and I encouraged her in the Lord because you have to get rid of the disruption sometimes so that the peace can fall and when all of these people are making all of this noise and they're mourning loudly Jesus says she's only sleeping and what they do is they just all these tears stop it shows you how phony it was and then they they're laughing at him to his face they are actually attempting to humiliate him it says in Luke 8.53 they laughed him to scorn knowing that she was dead so Jesus put the crowd outside he went in he took this little girl by the hand and said to the ministers to the little girl Luke 8.54 simply says he put them all out and in Mark 5.41 it says that he took the child by the hand and said to her which is translated little girl I say to you arise and immediately she was brought back to life Luke 8.55 her spirit returned and at once she woke up now what's interesting is can you imagine how stunned you would be at that moment and Jesus speaks Luke 8.56 says he ordered them not to say what had been done but Matthew 9.26 says the report of this went out into all the land they could not keep this to themselves and they spoke about it Jesus brings life to the dead and tears of sorrow were turned into tears of joy as this little girl their baby has been returned to them it's interesting that Jeres had great joy for 12 years as he had this little girl loved this little girl and raised her but in the same 12 years there was a woman who had an issue of blood who was in nothing but sorrow and so the Lord Jesus Christ was able to restore joy to both of them to the woman with the issue of blood her she received a miraculous healing to the little girl who was dead she was given life once again both of them ended up with great joy and it illustrates to us something Jesus said in John 11 25 when he said I am the resurrection and the life he who believes in me though he may die yet shall he live Jesus is the one who brings life and in these two stories that are intertwined you see the Lord reaching down to touch one and you see somebody else reaching up to touch him and I see that very often that just works together because as I reach my hand up to him he has a way of reaching his hand down to me and we connect we connect and he brings me joy


Today we're gonna talk about 15 realistic side hustles to make an extra $500 to $1,000 a month.  These are side hustles that I have either tried out myself, my teams tried out, or friends of mine have tried out, and they absolutely 100% work. We spend hundreds of hours making these videos to make sure everything we talk about is top quality. So if you appreciate us doing that, go ahead and gently tap that like button and let's jump into it with number one on the list, which is going to be a hobby instructor. And this is literally where you just share either your passion or your expertise or some combination of both with other people. And this could be anything from knitting to exercising to helping other people get a job like I do, right? So I help people get a job. I help them make extra money so that they can be financially independent. And that is what this whole channel is all about. And this is something that I struggled with in the past myself. And once I was able to get this under control, get financial independence, my entire life changed. And all I wanted to do is talk to my friends about how amazing this stuff was and they were kind of bored of it, right? They probably didn't want to talk about financial independence all the time. And so what did I do? I created this channel so that I could share my ideas with the world. And I'm not the only one. There's about 500,000 people in the United States alone that make a full-time income from YouTube. And YouTube isn't the only platform you can do this on. There's blogging, there's Instagram, there's Twitter, there's LinkedIn, et cetera. And just as an example, here's a 36-year-old mom that makes 15,000 a month working 10 hours a week and her best advice for scaling an online business. And she basically talks about how she started teaching English on various websites and she created two classes on the website OutSchool. One was on Arts and Crafts and the other one was about mastering the five paragraph essay. And she said that it took her a few months for the business to pick up, but in early 2021, she added six other classes and was netting $10,000 per month from the site working just 10 to 12 hours per week. Here's another example. Outdoor Boys, which is a YouTube channel. And this was started by Luke Nichols who's a DUI lawyer who is now making content about his hobby which is teaching people how to survive in remote areas with limited tools and equipment. So he makes really cool videos where he's like camping in Alaska in deep snow. So he's like in a snow burrow camping in Alaska, which is absolutely insane and awesome. He made another video where he's hunting, fishing and crabbing in Florida and he's got a gator across his back. I mean, how cool is this? And I don't know if he reveals how much income he makes but I'm sure he makes multiple six figures per year easily by doing this. Another way of earning by teaching people your hobbies is to do it through an online platform. So let's take yoga, for example. You could do myyogateacher.com and this is where people offer online yoga classes. And you can see just a sample for different yoga classes. It's usually about $49 a month and there's an unlimited plan, which is $69 a month. Then you've got one-on-one sessions which is $89 a month. Oh, you feel it? All right, sorry about that. Had a quick little earthquake there. I'm back now. So as I was saying, one-on-one sessions, like once per week, you only pay $89 a month on this website. Two one-on-one sessions per week, $149 a month. And then three one-on-one sessions per week is $219 a month. So if you don't wanna start your own social media platform there's plenty of websites out there that will pay you in order to teach other people your hobbies or things that you're already an expert in. Another one is of course Udemy and there's literally thousands of people on Udemy that are making a full-time income by teaching other people what they already know. So I could go on and on. I could give you a million different examples of how you could do this. YouTube is my personal favorite way of doing it. I would be a hypocrite if I said anything else because that's exactly how I was able to do it. I think it's easier to make money on YouTube and actually grow real business on YouTube than any other platform out there. So I thought that I would go ahead and mention this at the bigger beginning of the video because it's what's changed my life. It's what's allowed me to have financial time and location independence so that I can be in remote parts of the world and experience these earthquakes in the middle of the day. But yeah, this one without a doubt is gonna get a 10 out of 10 opportunity score. With that being said, this is one where you may not be able to make money right away. Like you probably are not gonna be able to make money tomorrow, even if you go on these websites.  But this is the one that has the highest opportunity by far in the long run out of all the ones on the list. And YouTube can be a tough nut to crack, which is why I actually coach a few people every month on how to actually grow and make money from their YouTube channels. I've gotten some insanely good results from this. I've got testimonials from people that are making over $180,000 a month all the way down to people who are just making an extra couple thousand dollars a month doing it as a side hustle. But if you're interested in learning more about how to grow and make money from YouTube, I do take on a few coaching clients every month, we're very picky about who we take on cause I simply just don't have that much time to teach people, but you can go ahead and check that out by clicking the link down in the description as well as the pinned comment below. Next is going to be waiting in line. Yes, you can actually get paid to wait in line and you can get paid pretty good money. So this is actually referred to as a professional line sitter or a professional line standard. And yes, this is an actual job that people do full time. And if you think about it, there are people out there that will wait at companies like Apple hundreds of hours before they release the newest iPhone or the newest iPad. And a lot of these people make really good money. So it doesn't really make sense for them to wait hundreds of hours. So what they'll do is they'll just pay somebody else to stand in line for them, hold their spot. And then when it comes time to actually open the stores and get the product, they'll replace them. And if you think about it, Americans spend on average 37 billion hours a year waiting in line, 37 billion. Ain't nobody got time for that. And there are people out there like this guy, for instance, that get paid thousands of dollars to sit in line and wait at these different events. And it's not just when Apple comes out with the newest iPhone. It's for different clubs, restaurants, concerts, building openings, et cetera. Now there's a lot of different ways that you can get into this. One app is going to be Spotblaze. And with this app, you can make on average about 25 to $35 an hour. And during holidays, you can get paid up to $70 an hour to stand in line. So this is a completely legit side hustle. And it's even something you can do full time in some cases. So I'm going to go ahead and give this one a 7.5 out of 10 opportunity score. Now, by the way, did you know that you can earn thousands of dollars a month by working less than a one hour per day? And this is exactly what I do by making content on YouTube. And I'm going to be showing people how to do this with a live training where I reveal the five biggest secrets on how to grow and monetize your YouTube channel. And these are the same strategies that helped me to make thousands of dollars within my first few months of starting and taking YouTube seriously. And I also get checks like this almost on a daily basis. So I'll be hosting this at 9 p.m. Eastern time on Tuesday. And I'll also be giving away a free mini course, but only for people who attend the live training. Plus I'll be conducting a live Q and A where I answer any questions that you have on how to grow or make money from YouTube. Now I can only accommodate a limited amount of people because this is going to be a live Zoom training where you're talking directly to me. So make sure you sign up now while it's still available by clicking the link down in the description as well as the pinned comment below. Next is going to be pet memorials. So this is when somebody's furry family friend dies and they want to celebrate their pet's life with flair. And this basically involves creating customized tributes and keepsakes to honor beloved pets who have passed away. And here are some examples of some of the memorials that people have made. This was actually won from 1881. So people have been doing this for hundreds of years now. And there's a story about a 55 year old who spent 15,000 on his side hustle, quit his 60 hour a week job, and he now brings in 23,000 a month doing this. And basically he started this side hustle because his friend's dog Molly died and he happened to own a $15,000 engraver for a stone carving hobby. And Molly's concrete headstone turned out well and Melton decided to open up an Etsy shop in March of 2021. And a few initial orders turned into a handful of positive reviews and this turned into more orders. And then all of a sudden before he knew it he was making over $20,000 a month doing this. And it's not just gravestones. There's lots of other different types of products out there that you can make in order to honor your pet. So for instance, there's different, you know, smaller stones, there's different types of urns where you can keep their ashes and there's different types of garden ornaments, et cetera, where you can honor your pet as well. There's also necklaces, engraved crystal photos. I mean, there's just all kinds of stuff out there. And there's a entire category on Etsy that is dedicated to pet memorial, right? Just an entire category with thousands of different listings that's dedicated to pet memorial. So yeah, this is a legit side hustle. A lot of the time people do it locally. In some cases they'll do it online as well. Of course people will pay more for custom memorials where it's not just kind of like a cookie cutter type of thing. It's customized to their particular pet. And yeah, this is something that's really big. It also helps people out there. I'm gonna go ahead and give this one an eight out of 10 opportunity score. By the way, if you're liking this video, if this is something that you haven't seen before, if you're liking the fact that, you know, these are legit side hustles where you can actually make money. There's real people making tons of money out there doing these types of things, go ahead and give the video a like. And when I see videos that get a lot of likes, I tend to make more of those types of videos because you guys are basically giving me feedback. Next is going to be renting out baby gear. And this is one where I personally have a family friend who started an entire chain of stores basically doing this, right? So she started off by just kind of renting and buying and selling different types of baby gear. And then after she started as a side hustle and she was making really good money, just posting on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist, she actually opened a physical store. Then she started making a ton of money from her physical store and she opened an entire chain of stores. And now she's probably got a business that's going to be worth multiple millions down the line.   And so you have to buy new stuff very quickly after that. And this is actually extremely wasteful in many cases. And that's why renting out baby gear or buying and selling baby gear is not only really good for the planet, but it's also extremely lucrative as a business or a side hustle. And there's platforms such as Babyquip where you can actually just make money doing this. It's designed for you to start this type of business. And it's a really easy platform to get started on. And there's this article from this lady who started on Babyquip and she says she makes $5,000 a month renting out baby gear. And there's also other examples of people who just do this as a part-time thing, just maybe one hour a month, something like that. And they're making hundreds of dollars a month. For instance, there's this Aussie mom, it says here, Rachel, who makes about $400 a month. There's another website where you can rent out used baby gear. This is loop.baby. And yeah, this is a legit side hustle.   And then you could sell that or rent it out as well. And yeah, people are making a ton of money doing this. I'm gonna go ahead and give this one an opportunity score of 8.5 out of 10. Next is going to be selling handmade crafts. And this is actually a booming business that I've seen a ton of people making a lot of money doing. Now there's a lot of different types of handmade crafts you can sell anything from rings to necklaces to wall decor to vases. I mean, just anything you can think of that's a physical product, you could probably make it as a handmade craft. And you can sell these on websites such as eBay, Amazon or Etsy. Now Etsy is personally my favorite one for selling this type of thing. And I've met a ton of entrepreneurs in the last few years that have been crushing it on Etsy. Now I'm just gonna give you guys the scoop. A lot of them, what they're doing is they make short form content either on TikTok, Instagram or YouTube shorts. And then they drive people to their Etsy store where they can purchase these physical products. And here's an example of a special education teacher who makes up to $1,000 a month just making jewelry and crafts as a side hustle. And by the way, there's other platforms out there. You know, Etsy is not the only one you can use but Etsy is the one that I see that most people have been success with. There's IndyCart. So definitely check these different platforms out. But yeah, there are tons of people out there that are making lots of money selling these physical products. It's also really cool if you're an artsy, crafty type of person and you like making this kind of stuff anyways, you might as well make money doing it. So yeah, this is a really good one. I'll go ahead and give it an eight out of 10 opportunity score. Next is going to be collecting lost golf balls. Now I have been told in the past that I say the word golf weird. So I'm sure lots of people are going to be making fun of me in the comments section but I'm sorry, that's just the way that I say golf. Golf, golf, whatever. But this is a completely legit side hustle.      And basically what he did is he bought a golf ball retriever which only cost him around $11.  Then he organizes them by the highest value golf ball to the lowest value one.  And some of the high end ones are worth a lot more than that. And he says he can earn over $100 by selling a hundred golf balls. Now a lot of these golf balls you'll find in the forest or maybe some dense vegetation. One of the best ways to find them is actually to just get something that can go in the water and pick them up as well.  So completely legit side hustle. I've seen people do this before. You can definitely make money from it. With that being said, you probably have to be in a certain area that has golf courses and they have to be okay with you doing that. So I'm gonna give this one a seven out of 10 opportunity score. By the way, comment down below if you like any of these on the list or maybe you don't like them or maybe you think I missed one and I should have put it on this list. Let me know down in the comments below so we can all benefit from it. And if I see some that I like I might include them on future videos. Or if you mentioned the ones that you really liked in the video I might go more in depth on future videos. Next is going to be snow shoveling. All right, so this is gonna be for my folks out there that live in the Midwest or the North and you live in a place where half the year there's snow on the ground. I used to be right there with you and snow shoveling can be a great way of making money if you have this opportunity. Yeah, let's see it as an opportunity, right? Let's see the bright side. And a fun fact here is the earliest known snow shovel was found in a bog in Russia and it's 6,000 years old and its blade was made from a carved elk antler section. And if you don't think you can make money from this even if you're watching this and you're a teenager well, here's this guy's six year old who funded a trip to Disneyland by shoveling snow.  It is thousands of dollars. So yeah, this kid dreamed of going to Disneyland and he shoveled snow and he made $3,300 for the trip as a six year old. Guys, it doesn't get much better than this. If a six year old can make $3,300 you can definitely do it as well. All right, and all he did is he went and he shoveled people's sidewalks, driveways and pathways. And typically with snow shoveling you can make $30 to $80 an hour. Now that's just basic snow shoveling which literally all you need is a snow shovel to do. There are more advanced versions of this where if you have a truck you can get like an industrial grade giant snow shoveler that you can put on the front of the truck and then you can really make a lot of money doing that a lot more than $30 to $80 an hour. In fact, there are people out there that only work like three to four months out of the year and they have this equipment and they make enough money to live the entire year just by doing this. So yeah, snow shoveling, legit side hustle. You can definitely make money from this. Chances are you're not gonna get rich doing it but I'm gonna go ahead and give it an eight out of 10 opportunity score. Next is going to be a website tester. So this is one of those where you can actually make money online. And basically what you're doing is you're testing out different websites and you're giving them feedback on the UI and the UX which is the user interface and the user experience.  Well, a lot of companies are like that. And when you go to websites that are easy to use are intuitive, it makes a huge difference. And this was actually one of Facebook's secrets to why they grew so fast is they were by far the most user friendly social media website for the longest period of time. And there are countless examples of people talking about how they use websites like user testing.com and they've made thousands of dollars doing it. So this is a person who made over $1,300 using user testing and typically user testing is about $10 to $60 per website test. Now there's other websites out there where you can do this as well, like TryMyUI and Userlytics. And here's the thing, you can make money and do this and it's great. It's a great side hustle. You're not gonna make a full-time income doing this but this is truly a good way where you could make a couple hundred extra dollars a month and it's something you can do it just about any time. So overall, this is not one of the best ones on the list but it is something that just about anyone watching this video could do. And so I'm gonna go ahead and give this one a seven out of 10 opportunity score. By the way, UI, UX design and website testing in general all falls under the general category of digital marketing. And digital marketing is one of the most valuable skills you could possibly learn, whether you wanna do it as a side hustle, freelance, get a job or start your own business. And it's one of those skills that is never gonna go away, right? We're gonna be doing digital marketing for the rest of our life. It's almost necessary if you are somebody who works in a high level job or you wanna start your own business or you want to be a freelancer to know stuff about digital marketing. So it's incredibly useful.  For instance, my business partner Seth and I were able to help a 16 year old make over $40,000 a year. So currently right now I'm getting paid $40,000 per year. And if you wanna check out exactly how he was able to do that, there's actually a free training which I'll put down in the description as well as the pinned comment below. They'll tell you everything you wanna know about digital marketing, the different types of digital marketing and whether or not it's good for you and your personality. So definitely check that out. I'll put it down in the description as well as the pinned comment below. Next is going to be a parking watcher. This is gonna be for somebody who is always fantasized about being a mall cop or a meter maid but you're not quite qualified to do it yet. And this is basically where you monitor parking lots or streets, ensuring vehicles are safe and adhering to parking regulations and assisting drivers when needed, right? So it's not quite the prestigious career such as being a mall cop or a meter maid but it's the closest you're gonna get to it by doing a side hustle. Now a fun fact about this is about 35% of land is used for parking lots, right? So this is a lot of land that's being used for this. And the average wage for a parking attendant is about $14 to $19 an hour. Now what makes this a little bit different than being a parking attendant is that a lot of these types of things are seasonal or they happen every once in a while. So this is the type of thing that you could pick up during the weekend, pick up during different holiday seasons or different events that are happening in the town you live in. And usually they have trouble finding people to do these things. And so this is something where you can approach local businesses, maybe approach your local chamber of commerce and just let them know that you're open to picking up these kinds of shifts. And yeah, you're not gonna make a full-time income from this unless you become like a parking lot attendant, but that's probably not the best job in the world to do. And even if you did do it, you probably wouldn't wanna do it for very long. But with that being said, there are a lot of opportunities to make extra money and pick up extra shifts. And so I'm gonna go ahead and give this one a 6.5 out of 10 opportunity score. Next is going to be clothing alterations. So this is gonna be for my crafty people out there again. If you're somebody who already knows how to crochet or knit or sew and maybe you're somebody who likes creating Halloween costumes or maybe you're into kind of like anime costumes and doing cosplay stuff, or you just like to be crafty and repair your own clothes, this could be a great opportunity for you. So there's a lot of other people out there that do those same things, but maybe they don't necessarily have time. And this is where you step in and you help them out and you get paid to do it. And an interesting fact about this is every single year there's 92 million tons of clothing waste that ends up in landfills. 92 million tons, guys. Can you even fathom how big that number is? You could repair them so that you can wear them longer or you could turn them into a costume for Halloween or you could use them as cosplay material or you could just make completely new clothes out of old clothes. And not only can you make money doing this, but it's also good for planet Earth, which is great, right? There's a couple examples of this. There's a self-taught tailor who went from altering clothes for dry cleaners to making custom suits for the weekend. Now the weekend is of course a very famous artist. And this guy basically talked about how he started off after he got fired from his banking job and he basically started making alterations for a dry cleaning company. And eventually he ended up creating suits and now he of course makes multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Now there are websites that actually make it easy to start doing this. For instance, Air Tasker is a really good one. Just to give some examples, putting on a new button typically costs about $3. Shortening or lengthening something is about $15. Tapering something is about $25. Wasteband alterations are about $25. Half pockets are about $25. And rehemming is about 20. And then restitching is usually $10 to $40. Another way you could make money doing this is taking old clothes, fixing them up, and then reselling them on a marketplace such as Facebook or eBay. So yeah, this is good as a side hustle. You could even potentially turn it into a full-time thing. I'm gonna go ahead and give this one a seven out of 10 opportunity score. The next one is a really good one and that is furniture flipping.  And basically what they're doing is they're buying these old couches, they're refurbishing them, and then they're reselling them.  Now, think about it, guys. A lot of these couches sell for like $5,000, $10,000 when they're brand new. And of course, after a few years, they're gonna look a little beat up, and then the resell value is going to be much lower than it originally was. But if you can make it look brand new or close to brand new, you can sell it for close to what the initial sales price was on it.  So this person, for instance, said they made $15,000 in February alone from abandoned furniture. Literally just abandoned furniture, they just picked it up, it was completely free. They fixed it up, they cleaned it up, and then they resold it, and they made $15,000 in February alone. And they say that they use websites such as Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, Neighbors, and ThriftStores. And I can't tell you how many people are making a full-time income, even just doing it part-time, buying and selling furniture. And flippers are typically making between $500 and $10,000 a month, and they're earning between $1,500 and $2,000 per piece of furniture they flip. So yeah, this one is amazing. I'm gonna go ahead and give it a nine out of 10 opportunity score. Something a little bit similar, but a little bit different at the same time, is going to be reselling thrifted goods. So this is kind of like being a treasure hunter, except you are hunting in an urban environment and you're going to thrift stores. So you basically go out there, you're kind of looking for all kinds of different things that you would find at thrift stores. You look up the value of these things online, then you might buy them for $1 and sell them for like $30 to $50 online. And if you don't think you can make money from this, here's a 25-year-old who made over 103,000 euros selling second-hand clothes online, right? And she was able to quit her job because of this side hustle. On average, resellers make about $30,000 per year in their first couple of years. But keep in mind, most people are doing this part-time and that's almost a full-time income. I mean, in some places that might actually be a full-time income. So you'd use a lot of the same websites to do this, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, Mercari, OfferUp, et cetera. And you have to kind of specialize in something. So for instance, if you're really into clothes, you'll probably have a good eye for which clothes you're gonna be able to resell for more. But yeah, this is a great way to make money. I'll go ahead and give this one an eight out of 10 opportunity score. Next is being an elderly companion. And this is somebody who basically provides companionship, assistance, and support to seniors. An interesting fact about this is about 70% of people who are 65 and over are going to be needing what's known as long-term care. But what the medical system doesn't really provide is companionship and just basic support. And so there's actually a huge market for just simply going and hanging out with them and maybe doing a few tasks around the house for them. And companion caregivers typically make about $20 to $35 an hour. Now, there's ways of doing this in an actual official medical capacity. Of course, you'd have to actually get licensed for that. But there's also ways of just doing this kind of as a side hustle as well. So yeah, this is another good one. People are getting older and older because modern medicine is getting better and better. And there's more and more people who need help and support. So I'm gonna go ahead and give this one a seven out of 10 opportunity score. Next is going to be a personal or private chef. Guys, this is an amazing side hustle to do. So many people out there are having inflammation issues and there's so many diets out there that different people have to adhere to. Just to give you an example, a lot of people are sensitive to gluten and so they have to eat certain foods that don't have gluten in them. A lot of other people like to do things like the keto diet or the carnivore diet. And of course, there's certain foods that they can't eat because of that. And if you can specialize in one of those types of diets and then make really good food that doesn't inflame people but at the same time, tastes really good and it's also healthy, you can make a ton of money doing that. And that's exactly what you should do.  And so for instance, there are a ton of people out there that make a ton of money as keto chefs. And if you can be a chef that is keto, right, cooks keto food and you can actually make it taste good and make it healthy, you can make a killing doing this. And people will pay you top dollar to just deliver the food to them weekly. So as an example, this guy made $14,000 a month as a private chef for parties. So that's another thing you could do. You could be a private chef for private parties that people are having. There's even a chef named Chef Lionel who makes $10 million a year, right?  Now on average, according to Payscale.com, personal chefs make about $25 an hour. Now that's okay, but again, if you specialize in something you can make way more money than that. And I've seen people who have started local businesses where they basically just deliver food. They shop for the food, they cook the food and they deliver it to these families. Usually these families are upper class, they have more money. And that's a way for these families to save a ton of time and effort on their food and they exchange money in order to save that time. Now I've seen these local businesses making multiple six figures a year in profit doing this. So yeah, this is a huge opportunity becoming a personal chef, amazing opportunity. You do have to find the right niche to do it in. You can advertise your services on Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace or just by word of mouth and you wanna make it as convenient as possible for the person. So I'm gonna go ahead and give this one an opportunity score of nine out of 10. The next one is one of my absolute favorites and I mentioned this on almost every video that I make because it's so good. And that is being a handyman and specifically using the app TaskRabbit. So I can't tell you how awesome this app is and how useful it is. Now, depending on the area you live in it may or may not be available. If it's not available, you can still be a handyman. You can advertise your services on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. This is something that I did when I was younger when I was in high school as well as college is I would just help people with random different tasks. So one of the big ones I did for instance was I'd help people with painting. I'd also help people with moving stuff. So helping them to box stuff up and move it from point A to point B. And I made a ton of money doing this. And there's all kinds of different handyman related services that you can do using an app like TaskRabbit. Anything from furniture assembling, setting up tech, installing and mounting a TV, maintenance, repair, home improvement, just so many different things that you can be hired for as a handyman. And it's honestly not that hard to learn how to do these things. And you get paid minimum $35 an hour on TaskRabbit. And a lot of people make more than that plus they get tips. There are people that are making full-time incomes on TaskRabbit and I get a lot of people who come to me and they ask me like, Shane, you know, I don't have time to start up one of these longer side hustles. I don't have time to get a job. I need to make money right now. What would you do? And my answer is go out there and do physical labor, handyman services, if TaskRabbit's available, do that. You can make a ton of money with very little just absolute minimal input and minimal skills as well. There's so many people out there that need just a little helping hand a few hours here and there doing all these different home related maintenance tasks. There's this guy, for instance, who quit his job to make 20,000 euros a year as a side hustle and it's just enough to get him by. And he basically just does furniture assembly, that's all. But on average handyman make about $60 to $75 per hour. So in many cases, these people are not working full-time. They're working maybe 10, 20 hours a week at most and they're making a full-time income. There's also house cleaning. House cleaning can be extremely lucrative. There's entire channels dedicated to house cleaning. For instance, Mrs. Messi makes over $3,000 a week just cleaning houses. That's over $150,000 a year. So there's tons of opportunities for these random little side gigs, home cleaning services, handyman type services. It's really, really good. I'm gonna give this one a nine out of 10 opportunity score. And by the way, I made a video that went semi-viral, got hundreds of thousands of views and it talks about a bunch of different AI related side hustles. And yes, there's a lot of weird and scammy content out there with AI related stuff, but these are some actual good ones that I found. And if you wanna check that video out, you can do it by clicking right here.


Welcome back to the review. And today we're going to take a look at the official making of a big trouble in a little China. I just finished the official art of Big Trouble of China. So I wanted to do a double whammy and look at the other one because usually you have making of books and everything in art of books. But I was super surprised that there is a making of and an art of book of Big Trouble of China because I love that movie. Let me put this aside and show you this is the official making of Big Trouble of China book. This is the backside. It's the same format and same size. If I bring these up here, you can see they are like that. The spine of both backside, nice and compact. Well, let's not waste any time. Let's go through. You can see it's the same insert here, same design. And then we start with this. And of course, I love anything regarding production, photos or anything behind the scenes about that movie because I'm just a massive fan. You can see here here are the contents, lots to cover. John Carpenter, of course, the master who's done so many fantastic movies. That is super cool. It's a really great insight into the origins, the idea and content creation is really cool. You can see early pictures, sketches, production photos and notes. It's very cool. Love this.  I love that character. And it's really cool to see because I'm just so used to the movie, to the scenes because I'm watching this movie over and over. So to see something where it's actually not part of the movie, clearly that's what making of is and behind the scenes. It is really cool to see and I hadn't seen that much of that movie in terms of behind the scenes. A clear view of the car, character posters and poses. I love this. We get a bit of a better view of the sets. I mean, that's mainly all you see is constantly laughing. Also, the commentary on John Carpenter movies and usually when there is Kurt Russell involved like in The Thing, they're absolutely fantastic commentaries. You should absolutely listen to them. Here's the Pork Chop Express. Better look at Chinatown. Of course, as you watch the movie, if you live in San Francisco, you can see a couple of cheats in there in terms of where they're driving, where they are, and when they turn into a street, they're suddenly somewhere else. But that's classic in terms of movies. Then we get into the characters. Fantastic game at the beginning with the bottle. I just love seeing this awesome scene when he runs away with the camera so fixed on that jacket. But let's continue here. You can see also a great fight again. I think the movie was way of its time in terms of the fighting, in terms of the wire work. I love these. This is great. Deleted scene. Of course, I want to see more. I want to know more about everything. That is also a fantastic fight scene in terms of the sound design and the music. I absolutely love the contrast and when they fight, when they stop and they continue. And then it gets absolutely bananas when the three storms show up. And I love this. This is usually when people kind of check out because then the movie turns into something totally different. Again, continuing here with the characters, the levitation, just the way they did it. I love seeing all this stuff. Eddie Lee has a major crush on you. Uncle Chu. Come on, so good. Margot Lichtenberger. Yes. I just love seeing all these. They really look like they're having such a good time making this movie. The three storms, of course. Come on, Mortal Kombat. Let's do this. Oh, yes. Love seeing this. The classic spoiler. What happened to that character? But look at that. This is so great to see the different stages, how they have to apply it. And of course, it's somewhat cheesy in the movie. I know, I know, but it's so cool. I love it. Yeah. Absolutely. Mortal Kombat right there. Rayton. You got Interior White Tiger. Lil Pan. Love that actor. Oh, it's great to see that. Absolutely classic. Love this. Look at this. There's always so much work in such a way for the actors to sit in there. That's all cool to see. The transformation. Then you can see inside of the interior, production design, extra characters. Yes. Look at that. Always super creepy. I remember watching this with my older son and everything was kind of funny until we hit that moment. And kind of creeped out. That was kind of weird. Look at that. So cool to see that. I love this. Talked in the other clip about a potential sequel that they want to film. I hope that this creature shows up as it's kind of ending the first movie. Love having a bit of a better view of that on the world. The sewer demon also showcased in the other book where you get a bit of a better view of the size and how they built this. Look at that. So cool. As I said last time, which easy when it shows up and moves. You can tell it's kind of moving forward and kind of going back. It's not super elaborate, but it's so much fun. Love this character as well. Get a better view in this book in terms of the inner workings and the complexity of that model. It's very cool to see. So definitely a bit more to see in this book. Spoiler at the end here. You get the great arcade battle. It's a massive set. Again, lots of interesting wire work. Movie was way ahead of its time. Masters of flight. You can see this here. Also really cool moment here. Love this when he does that little thing with the fingers there. So good. Mansion of the Disloyal. You can see a bit more there. Yes. Absolutely. The soundtrack is fantastic. Highly recommend that you get this. I love this. I'm listening to this all the time. And then the book ends with the legacy and talking about the characters and what they thought about the movie in its years and how it has affected people in their careers. Then an afterward by Kurt Russell. And you see biography, special thanks and credits. And the same ending insert here, like in the other book. That is the backside. And that is it for the official making of Big Trouble in Little China. Also by Tara Bennett and Paul Terry. Forward by John Carpenter. Afterward by Kurt Russell. Slightly different here. This is the other book. You can see here credits. And that is the book here. So if you can find the books, I highly recommend both of them because they're great. And I should probably listen to the movie today as I'm working. And then go through the books again and do another deep dive and read that again because they're really, really cool. So if you're a fan of the movie, these are absolutely a must have. But especially the art of book, even if you're not a fan of the book has really cool artwork in it. It's even just as that as a book is really cool to have. But that's it. That's my page through of the book. And then there's the other clip with the official art off. This is the official making of that is that. There's a lot more to come. Actually, let me get them. I've got a bunch of books here. Disney Monorail is going to be neat. Craft notes for animators. I want to go through this.  Age of resistance. Sadly canceled after one season. But very cool book here. The art of Frozen 2. The art of Ralph Breaks the Internet. And of course these and one that I haven't read yet. But I want to go through this one. This one is still wrapped. It's the making of Alien. J.W. Rinsley does really, really cool making of books. It's still wrapped. This one I can't wait to open and actually read. It's going to take a while. This is a thicker book out of material to read. But I can do a page as you can see what's inside the book, of course. So more to come. In terms of gadgets. Big stack of books I want to go through also. I was in a city recently and saw these. Absolutely cute. Of course you have to have Woody and Buzz. So I want to take these out and assemble them. And of course there's other stuff. I got other software animation related things that I want to review. So the review Wednesdays are packed, packed. There's this guy that I never opened. The NeoGeo Mini. There's a lot of stuff about metal slug that I want to talk about in terms of animation. It's going to be awesome. So I think about there's so many things lined up. I have so much to cover. So that is all coming in the upcoming weeks. On Wednesdays are my reviews. But let's leave it at that. If there's other stuff that you like on my channel, feel free to browse around.

Now, the federal government has confirmed that no ransom was paid to free school children from Harkerikou Village in Cardinal State as promised by President Bola Tunubu. The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, stated that the students were rescued without any ransom. President Tunubu has pressed gratitude to the National Security Advisor and Service Chiefs for the assistance in securing the student's release. He has also urged secret agencies to intensify efforts to come about kidnapping. President Bola Tunubu is determined to end this circle of payment of ransom to kidnappers. The government believes that this continues to encourage these kidnappers, these criminal elements to perpetrate this act within the Nigerian nation. The security agencies are also up in their game and, you know, evolving new strategies of getting at these criminal elements and ensuring that our children or anybody who is kidnapped for that matter is taken out in safety. Government will not stop at anything to get any kind of information that it requires to solve our problems. Security agencies up and doing Shagumi or any other individual for that matter is not above the law. If you have suggestions that are constructive enough for the security agencies to take, they will take. But if they think that he is also making some statements that appear to be reckless, he will also be reprimanded. There is nobody that is above the law in this regard, and I'm aware, let me put it here, I'm aware that he has been also a guest of the security agencies to answer questions. When you make remarks, especially remarks that bother on our national security, it is incumbent on security agencies to dig further into that and they are doing just that. Now, the Senate, the Committee on Hydrogen are mislawing the Army and other security agencies for our successful operation that led to the rescue of un-doctored pupils of the Lia School of Korea in Shikman-Lokugam area of Kadena State. Now, Chairman of the Committee, Senator Abdelaziz Yaredou, said the rescue mission was swift and appropriately, well-responsive, aligned with military rule of engagement. Those and other tools are a rare operation that stands the military and all the secret agents in the operation are best among equals. Yaredou represent Kadena Central in the 10th Senate Senate, the military, having worked with all the secret agents and look at vigilantes have now nonetheless shown their unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety and security of the country.


They've potentially given the day in League 2 to other sides expecting to be pushing at the top end of the table by the end of the campaign. The question for Bradford though is, has the corner been turned? Three straight wins since Mark Hughes left. Will this be the biggest test since he's the concher? Phil Parkinson was once the boss of Bradford in the League 2 player final with the club. The turning, looking to keep the story, this seems to be great. The start of today's game will pause for a minute's silence as we remember the innocent victims of the ongoing and devastating events in Israel and Palestine. They've lost only one of their last 12 in the League. Bradford arrived in good form though. They have some defending to do here. It's the wayside, look for a break down the right-hand side. And it's Barnett who can burst. Back in the side, delivers in, good looking ball. And perhaps it should have been the opening goal. Mullin diving at the far post. Managed to meet it, but he couldn't turn it goal-wards and there was no trouble in the end for Harry Lewis. But it goes, remains no-nil. Here is the Bradford turned away by Rebsom. It's a long, hopeful ball up towards the halfway line that looks out pretty well. Fletcher into the box, flash-wide. Lovely build-up, good connection between Mullin and Fletcher. For the Premier strikeout, break it all the way up into the box. Only cut the effort wide at the post. Place on this left-hand side. Penty of space in the area too as Bradford break. Jemmy Walker sees the effort while blocked. All of a sudden, Bradford coming to life here in the second half. Find challenge though by George Evans, controlled by Andy Cook, waiting to deliver. Back to Brad Halliday, first-time delivery into the box. Here's a chance, well over the top by Jemmy Walker. All lively from Bradford. Still, despite the blockbuster nature of this game, we are waiting for the first goal, trying to get something going here in the Rainer Valley Parade. That's a day-beat. Sing opportunity, well, it would have been a brilliant chance to score. They may be able to keep this alive. The Colquo takes the safe route in the end and pushes around the post. Perhaps could have gathered up, maybe slightly reluctant in the rain. Then turn and shot by Walker. And a good stop. Need somebody to take control in that central area. And that person is Jones. He sends it wide, he's chipped in, and it's Mullen who's there. To meet the perfect Jones funds, space on the right-hand side, but it was the delivery that really mattered, that really made the difference. Mullen is balled right onto the head of Paul Mullen. Mullen does not miss those. Bradford, a strike wide of target, but it takes a deflection. Rossadabie looking to test the Conquo, wins a quarter. New fans here, appreciate the response. All of a sudden, now this Bradford response. Late in the game, but there was still plenty of time. Good-looking ball, hung up into the penalty area. Directed wide of target, fighting. Pushing, trying to get themselves back into the game. Oh! What a brilliant strike. Adam Wilson levels things up here at Valley Parade with an absolute beauty of a hit. Could have been pushing and trying to find a way. It's an off of the bench. Bundled his way through, up into the area. And it's a smart reaction to fire up into the top corner. Look at the target, he gets the flick on. Edge of the six-yard box, some living pretty dangerously and getting pretty lucky. Waits for support. Makes his way up into the penalty area. This might be the moment here, Cook. And a big shout for a handball. They well have been harsh, but it certainly struck the arm of O'Connor. What's that, a shove? It's another big shout here for Bradford. This time for a penalty, but there goes the final whistle. Our Bradford's now a spirited fight back. Grab a late point here. Adam Wilson with a fabulous equaliser. Smash the ball up into the top corner for a deserved point off the wetsuit had gone ahead through. Entertaining the fair, especially in the second half, finishes Bradford one, wetsuit one.
