We thank you for each of us that we are here Let our hearts receive everything in its fullness above father and be blessed in our walk with you Once again, we thank you and we ask you to bless each of us in your precious and matchless name We ask and we pray amen Amen. Thank you so much Avni All right Uh, yeah, so uh last week we looked at john chapter three and because john chapter three has got some very central truths Uh, which in fact, uh, you would see repeated again and again throughout the book of john So we wanted to focus on just that one chapter. So we devoted, um, and Entire, you know to us to the book, uh, to the chapter three, uh, but now Today we will you know rush forward a little bit. So today we would be covering both chapter four and chapter five Uh, so we may not be able to cover literally every single verse In these two chapters, but we will try to you know, um, uh, touch upon all the main Uh concepts which are there in these two chapters All right, um, and let me keep my chat visible beside me just in case anyone has anything to say Yes All right, um, yeah, you know as usually we could have people read out and uh, like I always say, you know, don't Politely in a christlike manner wait for one another to read just one of you You know just get started so that we don't waste time, you know so that we can Cover as much as possible So if we could have one person read out the first three verses of chapter four John chapter four one two three words When therefore the lord knew how the Pharisee had heard That jesus made and baptized more disciples than john Though jesus himself baptized not but his disciples He left judia and departed again into galey Yeah, so over here. We learn that not only are John's disciples a little upset, uh, that Jesus is gaining more and more followers But we see that even the Pharisees have now found out about that and they too are not very pleased Because most probably even some of their followers are now turning to to jesus so when Jesus Learns about how they are upset With this jesus very quietly withdraws He decides to go away to another place and he chooses not to have a confrontation with these Pharisees at this point of time and So we see here that now jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard That he was gaining and baptizing more disciples and it says in verse three So he left judia and went back once more to galley One very important thing that we see right here at the beginning of this chapter is that Jesus is so careful regarding timing He's aware of he's able to discern the times, you know, uh, there are times when, um, you When you can go ahead with a certain thing that needs to be done because you sense that The father wants it in that timing on the other hand there are times when you can sense the father saying that no, this is not the correct time and then You would need to submit and retreat. So we see this principle over here Jesus never did things at random or on impulse. It was always After carefully discerning what would be right for that particular occasion and so, uh, we too Must be careful in choosing our fights, you know Uh Best not to have arguments and debates and confrontations with people Unless we really sense that this is the right time and the lord is backing us up And then maybe when we argue and we debate, um, maybe the lord, you know, would stir up people's hearts To catch what we are trying to convey and we would have the holy spirit Working in them convicting them even as we speak And then there are other times when people argue and try to You know put down the scriptures And we we sense in our hearts that they're just simply spoiling for a fight They're not really that much interested in knowing the truth They just want to pick a fight and prove that they are superior or something of the sort So at that time, uh, maybe it would be wiser for us to just retreat because The holy spirit would guide us in these things There are times when it is good to step forward and confront and speak in the power of the lord And then there are times when he uh, you know silently indicates to us that it's better to, uh, you know, wait Wait for another occasion when the people would be more receptive to what we have to say So over here on this particular occasion as jesus does not want to confront these people Who would you know probably begin Opposition you know earlier than the timing which god has set for the opposition to increase So jesus withdraws so that the confrontations and the opposition and all of the You know strong You know backlash of these Pharisees would not start before time So that it would uh, so that jesus would still have the freedom to openly move around without any real, um, you know Strife from these Pharisees. So, uh, jesus decides to withdraw And he uh, it says in the next verse now he had to go through samaria and now many scholars point out that, uh, geographically speaking this, uh, particular phrase this little sentence now he had to go through samaria does not make any sense because actually, uh, He was closer to the jordan river at this particular point of time So it would have been easier for him to simply take, um, A road which the road which was going alongside the river But he chooses to uh, to go To go back to galilee using the root of samaria Why because he had to go so it is not because Geographical, uh, you know, um the geographical Contours of that place demanded that he had to go but rather because he felt a leading inside his spirit That that is the correct route to take Uh, so most scholars agree on this so which means god already had in his mind The people uh on that journey that jesus would come across and the lives which he would be impacting So with those things in mind again over here, we see that jesus is being led in a specific direction and Again, we see over here the importance of being led by the father Because he will speak to us in our hearts and tell us What to do and how to do it and also the timing of when to do it So here jesus feels that it would be better for him to go through samaria rather than just simply taking the route The road which goes along the jordan river and so he goes towards samaria and enters that territory And then now you might have heard of this in many sermons and also read about it in so many articles Where it talks about how people the the jewish people would generally avoid the samaritan region Simply because they had a very low opinion of the samaritans and they probably would feel that they will become Contaminated if they go through that territory because you know those people are so Low and so cheap, you know compared to their jewish heritage. So that was the kind of opinion that people had Regarding the samaritans and again, you might have you know Been taught this earlier in all of the other courses, which you know you have covered that The samaritans were actually an outcome of The babelonian times, you know when the jewish people were taken away into captivity almost All of the people who had any value any skills any position Status they were all taken away as slaves to babelon and it was just only the No, you know the lower most strata of society that was just left behind because The babelonians probably felt that these people would not be of use to them in any way And so they were just left behind in the land And so you had a lot of these people settling around the region of samaria And as time passed by they intermarried with the people the local people From the surrounding, you know areas and that is how the samaritans developed as a ethnic group So they were aware of the law of moses They did continue to you know Follow it But now they are their Understanding of the law of moses got mixed up with a whole lot of other Religious practices belonging to these other nations and so their version of Following the law of moses. This was a very corrupted version. It had a whole bunch of superstitions attached to it now all kinds of pagan rituals attached to it now and Which is why when these Jewish people who had been liberated By kings iris and they were able to come back to their land when they came back They did not like What the samaritans had done to their faith which was passed down to them by Yahweh originally So which is why from that time itself They tried to maintain their distance from the samaritans because the samaritans were so They had corrupted the original faith to to an extent where The law of moses was not really Followed anymore in its true integrity. It had become something else altogether and That is the reason why the samaritans were considered as something low and People generally looked down upon them But here we see Jesus going into the territory of samaria as well Because he not only came to save those who have their entire act together But he has also come to save those who are so completely messed up They'd have no clue what the truth is anymore Even such people he wishes to reach out to them because he is their saviour as well And so we have Jesus deliberately choosing to go into samaria to you know To be able to talk to them about his coming kingdom And that is how we enter into the story of the samaritan woman at the well And if one of us could read out versus five and six, please So he came to a city of samaria, which is called saika Near the plot of ground that jacob gave to his son joseph Now jacob's well was there jesus therefore being weary from his journey Sat thus by the well It was about the sixth hour I'm so sorry the connection I think was weak So I'm assuming that I am audible Yes, ma'am. Yes, we can hear you. Perfect. Thank you so much Yes, so we read out versus five and six and over here we have a small Detail being given about this area. It says This town was situated near the plot of ground that jacob had given to his son joseph So this most probably refers to shekem Because that was given to joseph in genesis chapter 48 verse 22 All right, so they are somewhere in the location of shekem and Jesus is sitting by the well And we have this detail being given by john That jesus tired as he was from the journey sat down by the well we see John doing this in many places where he Brings out the humanness the full humanness of jesus as well because later on they were all these wrong doctrines that came up You know after the time of the early church where people would say, oh no, he was never fully human. He was He was always, you know More god than human But john wanted to always clearly establish that jesus was not only fully god During his entire time on earth, but he was also fully human during his time on earth And so jesus allowed himself to be weak like humans He allowed himself to undergo suffering just like the way we do So in every aspect he identified with us He experienced the things that we experienced as well So here we are told that Jesus was tired and so he sits down at the well and Of course, we see the lady coming and again like they say, you know, they say that most probably You know, she comes in in the Sixth hour, which is supposed to be afternoon. She comes at that time Because maybe she'd not really want to mingle with all the other women who would be coming to collect water Now this is not really something that I ever really understood until I went to a place and stayed there for three years a place where it was quite hot And it was there that I discovered that truly in the afternoon time almost nobody ever emerges out of their houses It's supposed to be a an hour of a time of rest, you know, those two or three hours and I realized that if I made if I make my phone calls at that time People actually resent me for making a phone call because that is the time of rest When you're not supposed to disturb anyone and I being new to that place had not really understood that so because of the intense heat Nobody even steps out and people generally don't work during that time and they just rest So this was that kind of a you know, an environment that we are talking about So in the heat of the day, nobody would come to collect their water This is something that all the women would do early in the morning where while when the heat has not yet quite set in So if she's coming now with this order, it's most probably because she doesn't really want to mix with the others most probably because of the kind of life that she is living you know where she has been having to Go with many many different men because one by one they have all you know Rejected her and so finally now she has taken up with a man who is not even willing to marry her So he's not even a husband. He's just she's she's just living you know with him so Rather very very sad situation Where she her life has been reduced to a point where she has experienced so much rejection again and again and now She is such She she has been gossiped about so much that she'd rather come in the heat of the day to collect her water Rather than you know mingle with these other people that is her state at this particular point of time And then the conversation with jesus begins Maybe we can look at verses nine 10 11 if we could have someone read out verses nine 10 and 11 please Am I not audible? Could someone please read out 9 10 11 Oh, yes, please. Yeah, okay. Come come please.  Why are you asking me for a drink? jesus replied If you only knew the gift of god You the gift god has for you and who you are speaking to you would ask me and I would give you living water But sir, you don't have you don't have a rope or a bucket. She said and this world is very deep Where would you get this living water? all right, um I'm noticing that My voice is getting transmitted through the microphone but then when You people speak It's coming out through this um Mike system here Uh, am I my speech is perfectly clear? Is it I mean because I do not want the uh recording to get affected Uh, as I'm speaking is my voice completely clear You're clear All right, then in that case, we'll just go on as it is Uh, yes, so over here, um jesus says, you know I actually know where you can get some living water and um as the commentaries explain to us the word living water Just basically means spring water. What is the water that is springing out of the uh from from underground sources? um And so they can't they just use the term living, you know alive water, which is alive because uh, They meant that um, it's not just stagnant water, but this is water which is literally springing out Out of a underground source. So they would call it living water. So, uh, this Lady probably assumed that there's maybe some hidden spring somewhere nearby and jesus knows about that particular thing and So the so she takes it in that sense and of course, we know that jesus was speaking in a spiritual sense He was using a physical Um metaphor to talk about something or spiritual and um, so the conversation kind of goes on for a few verses. Um, and um Jesus says everyone who drinks from this water, they would be never be thirsty again And then in verse 15, she's finally kind of interested. So she thinks, okay, this would be something good So she says, uh, sir, give me this water so that I may never be thirsty And then uh, jesus very deliberately brings the conversation around uh to her situation The life that she has been living. Uh, so if one of us could read out verses 16 17 18 For god so loud the world Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry Jesus said unto her Go call thy husband and come in here the woman answered and said I have no husband Jesus said unto her You have well said I have no husband for you had already five husbands and he Who you now has is not your husband In that says now Okay, so over here um, um She is forced to admit what her life has been and uh, so Jesus um touches upon that topic because he is supposed to be a doctor a physician a physician doesn't pretend that the disease is not there He points it out Even if the patient may not be aware that they have that particular sickness It becomes the doctor's duty to put his finger on that and point out and say see here is an issue that you have And uh, it needs treatment. It needs to be dealt with So, uh, Jesus in that sense, you know being the doctor who has come To take care of the sick to attend to them. Uh, so uh here he He makes this point of uh confronting her with the sinful life that she has been leading But at the same time we see that he has taken the effort to come and Start a conversation with her. So he Very much is against the sin in her life but he's not against her personally and uh This attitude that we see of Jesus towards this, uh, Samaritan woman is Something very important which maybe we all as believers should um integrate into our into our own lives because Sometimes uh because we know the truth and because we have been walking with the lord and we have been enjoying his blessings we somehow Sometimes end up feeling superior about ourselves and when we look at the other people of the other faiths and we especially when we see the The way they you know the rituals that they perform and some of the meaningless things that they do um Sometimes I have heard people, you know Laughing and kind of mockingly talking about them and saying what fools they are look at the things they do I mean anyone with even a little bit of logic could understand that doing that is definitely not going to yield any results and uh, so they kind of you know Mock the people Uh, but I think that is something that we should never ever do Every person However blinded they have they might have become you know through the evil one They have been formed in the image of christ and uh, they deserve to be treated with dignity. So, uh, yes Obviously the things that they are doing are meaningless and it's not going to result in anything. Uh, you know good but We cannot just uh mock them or criticize them for it. They deserve to be treated with much dignity Because one day, you know the lord will remove that blindfold from their eyes and they too will join His kingdom So it is very important for us to Never look down on a person or speak to them in a You know a kind of condescending manner uh But we must also be people who will be willing to point out that hey here There is something uh that needs to be dealt with so jesus was very very Direct in confronting her with her. Um, you know sinful lifestyle But at the same time he also treated her with respect. Um, he did not mock her in any way So that probably is a is one particular attitude that we know we could uh adopt for our own lives. Um Maybe we could read verses 19 and 20 I am not very sure why there's been absolutely no response today Uh could maybe you know Two or three of you kind of know decide that you will help me in reading out the verses Um I could read the verses myself It's just that it becomes a total monotone, you know, just me going on and on and on on the other hand if someone else reads Uh, then it just kind of you know, it's like a reminder to people. Oh, okay. Someone is now reading out. Uh, so, um Yeah, if if one of us could read out verses 19 and 20, please The woman said to him sir, I perceive that you are a prophet Our fathers worshiped on this mountain and you do say that in jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship Okay, so uh now that uh She has discovered that Jesus knows things about her which he could possibly not have known unless he is a prophet So once she realizes that she decides to touch upon A topic of interest to her personally. She has always wondered probably in her mind about how these Jewish people look down upon the Samaritans. So now she brings up that point and she says, you know, we have always believed that This is the mountain mount garrison is basically where we are supposed to be worshiping Uh, but then you people the Jewish people you put all your importance and emphasis on Jerusalem So who do you think is right? Okay, so she's just kind of Decides to talk about uh, those things things which are of interest to her And then uh, Jesus says, um He talks about what the what the true nature of worship is that we find in versus 21 22 And uh, 23. So if we could have one person read out versus 21 22 and 23 Hurry, okay Yeah, please go ahead stay go ahead. Yes, please go ahead. Yes Okay, um 21 22 23 Jesus said to her woman, believe me the hour is coming when you will neither On this mountain now in Jerusalem worship the father You worship what you do not know We know what we worship for salvation is of the law of the Jews But the hour is coming and is now When the true worshippers will worship the father in spirit and in truth For the father, so uh, we're very familiar with the statement where Jesus says, um The place of worship the location of worship is not as important as the main thing What is God looking for? He's looking for uh, the attitude with which we worship the location from which you do your worship is not Going to be that important In the future why because now Jesus has come to finish his work on the cross once he has done that All those who choose to believe in him will be sealed with the Holy Spirit So, uh, they will literally be carriers of the spirit of God and so they can do their worship anywhere It would no longer matter Uh, you know, which place whether it's on Mount Gerizim or whether it's in Jerusalem from which they are doing their worship Uh, so then what becomes important would be the attitude So obviously this is something that would apply to all of us We are supposed to be people who will worship in spirit By that of course, it means that we are people who are Worshiping through the help of the Holy Spirit who is living in us But it also means, uh, we are worshiping in spirit in the sense We value the spiritual things that have been given to us by God We we consider those things of higher priority than worldly things Uh, that is is something very important to the Lord Is the person worshiping from a heart which actually loves and values the things of the world Or am I worshiping from a heart which genuinely loves the things of God and loves him and wants to please him So, uh, that becomes important. What kind of out of what kind of a spirit am I worshiping? Okay, it is true that I'm I have the Holy Spirit in me But me what spirit do I have in me? Do I have a spirit that loves the world that rather would rather, you know, spend time With worldly things or do I have a longing deep inside me for the things of God and and do I enjoy those things? So if I am worshiping out of that kind of a spirit which really loves him and Loves the things of God that becomes a deeper kind of worship A more genuine kind of worship So, uh, we are called to worship in spirit And we are also called to worship in truth. So over here. This would mean that um all of The things which have been revealed in God's word on the basis of that we offer our worship um We cannot be people Who conveniently choose portions of scripture and say we will follow these portions And this is our act of worship to God that will not do It would have to be done in truth the worship would have to be We would have to be done in the whole truth So which means the parts which we like and the parts which we do not like All of it, uh Is meant to be followed. Uh, we must submit to all of it So when we are worshiping in truth, if I'm only, uh, you know, uh, Submitting myself to certain areas of the truth and saying these things I choose to follow Then that will not be actually true worship. Uh, it will it will be um Kind of uh, half-hearted worship So over here, we should be people who worship in spirit and worship in the whole truth of God's word We cannot pick and choose the portions that we would like to follow So here is this lady the Samaritan woman, um, who Does not know, um, yeah, I mean does not know many things about the lord and This is this is phrase where Jesus says, uh, you worship what you do not know. Okay, that would be worse 22. Yes um So Jesus points out something important here. He says, uh The you Samaritans worship what you do not know We worship what we do know. Okay. So the Jewish people had been given the The entire truth of um, of God's word So they really knew what they are worshiping why they are worshiping. Yeah way how they are supposed to worship him They have all the details But uh, if you look at um many of them and the way they were living their lives Even knowing the whole truth. They were not Following the lord at all. Um, especially the Pharisees who would have been highly knowledgeable They would have known all the details about worship. Uh, so if they had to conduct a seminar on worship They would really totally get it right because they would know, um, you know, how it is to be done How worship is to be done? Why it should be done? What attitude with it with which it should be done They would have all of those details. But were they actually doing the worship? No, they were not Uh, so that is the tragedy the Jewish people Fully knew what they are supposed to do But they were not doing it on the other hand the Samaritans They down the ages, you know over the generations They had been taught a mixture of all kinds of superstitions and a partial Pieces of truth and so they genuinely did not know what they were supposed to be doing So, you know in a sense the sin of the Jewish people was greater than the sin of the Samaritans So here was a woman with half baked knowledge. She didn't really know How worship should be done and the the truths regarding it But one little thing she knew and she held on to that was the fact that one day in this I know in the law of moses which had been handed down to them in in its In a kind of messed up way because they had added all kinds of extra things to the law of moses But one thing she knew because over there in the law of moses Moses had said one day a prophet will come to you a prophet like me will be sent to you and so she knew that one day a messiah would come and In spite of the kind of life that she had been living There's this hope that she's holding on to that this messiah will not just be the messiah of the world That maybe this messiah will maybe even be her messiah You know someone who can help her with a mess of her life of her personal life So here is this woman who probably would just be you know dismissed by society as someone too rotten to even Consider but she is sitting here with this desire in her heart that there's a messiah who will come one day And maybe you know he can bring a hope and redemption into her life And so i'm just thinking this is entirely my assumption Maybe that's the reason why you know the father guides Jesus to go through samaria because here is a woman who's down at the bottom Who is nothing when it comes to you know social standards and social morals But a woman in her state is holding on to a hope in her heart for a messiah who has been promised by moses and so Over here. Uh, we see that this little bit which she knows which is holding on to Jesus takes that little bit and Starts his new work in her life so uh The point i mean i i just saw someone raise their hand and i'll get to them in a moment The point that i'm trying to make is that we are supposed to worship in spirit and in truth And it's true that we don't already know everything there is to know because every day as we spend time in god's presence We kind of learn a little more. So Even though we may not know everything Whatever we do know if we are holding on to it and valuing it and standing upon that and you know giving our worship then Because we have little and we have interest in the little which we have been given we will be given more. Okay, so um Just like this lady who was no work He had which she was holding on to that led to a lot more in fact It led to her salvation and not just her salvation, but the salvation of all the people in her town so Whatever we have been we have learned whatever god has revealed to us during our quiet time During i know the time that we spend reading his word Reading books which teaches about these things of god Whatever we have learned whatever we have gained if we can hold on to that And uh really worship him uh out of that knowledge then more will be given to us in god's time So yes, someone had raised a hand and uh, I couldn't catch the name at that time Would someone like to you know raise a question right now No, okay fine. Um, we love We'll just move on Okay, so I'm so sorry Okay, so so those are some of the things that we looked at in john chapter four Let's move into john chapter five and It starts off with a story of a man who is uh healed at the pool of bethesda and um If maybe we could read verses Three and four Yeah, if if we could read uh versus john chapter five versus three and four, please In these lay a great multitude of sick people Blind lame paralyzed waiting for the moving of the water For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water Then whoever stopped stepped in first After the stirring of the water was made well of whatever disease he had All right, okay, so um Here we It talks about how a lot of people would gather at this particular pool Uh, because they believed that an angel would come and stir the waters Now this could be legend or this could be uh, something that actually happened. Uh, we do not know, okay so, um Because people have heard this story about how the waters get stirred sometimes So maybe based on that story, which is not truly a true story Maybe based on that Thing which they have heard maybe they used to come and gather at the pool On the other hand, who knows maybe god really was doing something miraculous at that place once in a while So we did not know whether this was just a legend or whether this was something that god was actually doing on a regular basis But one thing we do know a huge number of sick people would gather there at that pool in the hope that they would get their healing and so into the midst of that situation jesus steps in and um Yeah, maybe this is the person who had put up their hand. Oh, yeah, I remember your name shey. Shey was your name Yeah, you can go ahead with your question and then we'll continue with this passage. Yes Thank you person. Yes. I was just on this verse about the People who were sick and would wait for the steering of the pool I'm just wondering is it the nature of god to make people compete to get healed Could it be value to make people as an identity catch the next phrase to make people Yeah, I said Could it isn't the nature of god to make people compete to get healed? Because it was who came went into the pool first that got got healed So so maybe in that light Could it be that this actually was just in meat or legend that? because again the location of that pool was actually part of the newer structures that were built By the herald of that time don't remember the details especially basic people I'm just wondering because a lot of these have been mixed up with the greek mythology Over time, you know and all that. So I'm just wondering based on the nature of god. I don't see god You know making people rush to the pool Just to get healed. I feel was in meat. That's the perspective I'm coming from basically so Sounds perfectly valid. So yes Like you said, I mean only the fastest runner would gain So what about someone who is you know partially paralyzed such a person would never have the hope of getting healed So yes, most probably this was just a legend Yes, thank you so much for that and Oh, yeah, so now we have jesus coming over here and there are a lot of options that he can choose from you know, he's supposed to be the physician the doctor who has come to heal the sick and Of all the people that he could choose He chooses this specific man Who has been paralyzed for 38 years if I remember So why Would jesus choose this man specifically? So again here, uh, I have only my opinion to offer This is just me thinking So Maybe I mean, you know, uh, we god doesn't always explain himself So we cannot be sure why he this particular person was chosen.  So it's like as if he's always watching out for the underdog and So maybe I'm just assuming uh Jesus chooses um to To you know, heal this particular man Because of his past because of the kind of life that he had led in the past Because a lot of people who are gathered in those five large porches porches, you know This pool was surrounded by five large porches And so you would have a large number of people, uh, you know waiting over there for healing and most of them would have Become sick for no fault of their own You see it was just ailments because they're living in a sinful fallen world Sickness came to them and they were suffering So most of those people over there would be innocent victims who have not really Done anything to bring the sickness upon themselves But here was one man who deserved what he got He had been living in sin now. It's not elaborated. We're not told exactly what kind of sin He was living But one thing we do see at the end of the passage Jesus warns him and says you better not get back into sin because Something worse may happen to you. So Over there gathered among all of these people who are there Um, you know in their helpless state for no fault of their own. It's not that they did anything to choose Uh, you know cheer sickness and bring it upon them. They were innocent victims But here was a man who had deliberately chosen to live in a way I'm not sure what he did but I know whatever he did was so terrible It opened him up to the attacks of the evil one I know completely exposed him to the acts of the evil one and he became captive to them for 38 years they had held him captive so He brought this upon upon his head and Jesus chooses to pick a person like this for healing Uh, you know, he goes to the sickest person the one who who doesn't even deserve to be healed and he chooses him To heal and this would have been a great Testimony to all the others who are you know watching? So imagine what impact this would have had and all the other sick people over there They would have thought If Jesus is willing to heal someone like that knowing what he is knowing what he had done Then definitely Jesus would be willing to heal us So I'm sure after this incident after this event Many of them would have placed their faith in Jesus and they would have gone to him for their healing. Uh, so, um God Tends to look for the weakest the most helpless The most undeserving and he reaches out to them So he's a redeemer for all not just for the select few All right, so I think that's just some one truth which comes out from this passage So maybe Jesus wanted to Demonstrate whom he redeems even the lowest even the most undeserving So that probably is a lesson which people would have learned after seeing this particular event So, uh, we'll quickly go for our break. Uh and at 10 o'clock. We'll again rejoin All right, so thank you


Welcome back to the trade hacker mindset. In this episode, I want to share a little trick that I use that has helped me become a more profitable trader. Trading the markets can be difficult to master and seemingly just out of reach. Professional traders have a secret.  It requires the trade hacker mindset. All right, let's jump into this discussion. I want to share something with you all that has helped me actually become a more profitable trader and this is gonna sound potentially a little bit counterintuitive at first, but it works. And so I want to share it with you. So one of the things that when we day trade, we stream live every morning to our community for the first 90 minutes of the day. So from 8.30 a.m. to 10 a.m. central, we do intraday trading, we day trade. And one of the things that we use to do that is volume. So we look at volume to help us determine if a move is running out of steam and we use volume to help us determine if a price of a stock is going to continue in a direction. So there's some different criteria that we use to help us determine this, but that's one of the things that we use. And so when I'm looking at my trades and I get into a trade based on this very specific criteria and I'm in the trade, one of the tricks that I've used to help me manage the trade to the best possible degree is I hide my P&L, okay? So when I'm trading, I actually remove the P&L on my platform. I actually have a little window that I can slide out of view so that I cannot see my P&L at all. Now, you might be thinking, well, gosh, that's crazy. I like most traders, once they get into a trade, that's exactly what they stare at is their P&L. They say, oh my gosh, I'm up $100, I'm up $1,000, I'm up $10,000, I need to take it off or I'm down, I get nervous and I gotta get out. And that's one, that's actually a very detrimental thing to your trading because if you are focusing on your P&L, then it's taking you away from your focus on your actual trade.  Now, I know that sounds simple to some. I know that sounds crazy to others because it's honestly, I used to look at my P&L all the time and going from looking at my P&L constantly to not looking at it at all, it's kind of a difficult thing to do. But I would encourage you to try to do this because it'll be very eye-opening in how your decision-making process works as your trading. So I have very specific criteria for how to exit a trade. So if the trade's going in my favor, for example, I am going to take half of my position off. So let's say I did 10 contracts, I'm gonna take five of those contracts off once I hit around a 10% profit. So as soon as I'm in the trade, I set my limit order to close half my contracts once I hit that profit level. I don't need to watch my P&L to determine that. I can put that order in as soon as I'm in the trade and once that hits that level, it'll automatically take me out and I'll hear a little chime from my brokerage platform that lets me know that that order's been hit. Then once I have removed half of my risk exposure and I've booked some profits, the next thing I do is I look for an area where I think might be a next target. And so my next target is I'll take off another quarter of my position. So if I did, I started with 10, took off five, then I'll take off another two or three contracts as another quarter of my position size and I'll scale out as it continues to go in my direction. And so as soon as I close that half, then I'll look at the charts and determine, okay, if price gets to this level, that would be a good area depending on pivot points, depending on previous days, high, low, open, closed, depending on the velocity of the move, I set a profit target to close out the remaining piece. And then the last piece is a little bit more discretionary where I will potentially let it run or if it starts to chop, I may just cut out. But all of these decisions are being made based on what's going on with the price action, okay? It's not being determined based on what my profit or my loss is on the position because here is what I know, and this is obviously from personal experience, is if I'm watching my P&L, it will affect my decision-making abilities both on a profit and a loss standpoint, right? If I am seeing a significant amount of profit, I may want to close that trade out. But if the price action is not telling me to get out, then I shouldn't get out. So if you're watching your P&L, you may close too early, okay, on the flip side of that is if you see, if the trade's just been chopping around and then all of a sudden it starts to move in your direction and you see a little bit of profit, you might say, you know what? I just gotta take this off the table. I just gotta take it off and you close it out again too early. Whereas if you had been focusing on the price action of the chart and the chart was telling you to stay in, then you may not have taken that off, okay? So that's on the winning side. On the losing side, if you see a trade going against you and you're watching your P&L and you're watching your P&L turn red and starting to accumulate and get bigger and bigger and now I'm down $100, now I'm down $500, now I'm down $1,000, you know, depending on what size you trade and what your risk tolerance is for those P&L swings, that's going to affect your decision making on closing out that trade. Whereas if you were just looking at the charts, if you hide your P&L and you're just looking at the charts and you're only making trading decisions based on what the chart is telling you, it's going to take that emotional factor. Now, trading is emotional, I get it. It's not gonna 100% remove the emotional factor, but it is certainly going to lower the amount of emotional factors that come into your decision making process. It's going to make you trade the setups. It's going to make you trade the charts, not trade your P&L. You know, one of, I would say, you know, in my self-analysis of my own trading over the years, I would say one of the bigger issues with when it comes to my trading is holding on to trades longer than I should. And it works both ways. It works, sometimes I hold on to trades too long, even if they're going in my direction, because I, you know, it's the whole greed factor. Okay, I'm up $1,000, but I could be up 2,000 if it keeps going, that kind of mindset. So I'm holding on to positions too long from the winning perspective, and sometimes I hold on to positions too long from a losing perspective. Oh, now I see my account, my P&L going down. Well, I don't want to take that kind of loss. Surely it's going to bounce back, so I hold on to it too long, and what inevitably happens is it continues to get worse and worse and worse, right? That's Murphy's Law. So in my kind of self-awareness, I realize that can be an issue for me. Now I've gotten very good at controlling that over the years, but I know that that's a tendency that I can have. And so by removing the P&L from my screen, by not viewing the P&L while I'm in a trade, it really helps me focus on the chart and get out when I'm supposed to, if it's a winning trade, and get out when I'm supposed to, when it's a losing trade. So even if you're not sure if this can help you in your trading, I'm going to go out on a limb and say it will. And so here's what I would just ask you to do. Try it out. It's going to, and just understand, it is going to be uncomfortable at first. You are going to feel like you're flying blind. You're going to feel like, oh my gosh, I've got to see how much I'm up or down on this trade. But I promise you, if you can practice hiding your P&L and just focusing on the charts, like I said, it's going to take a lot of the emotion out of this. Now, if you are struggling to find consistency in your trading, this can also help you. And remember, and we talked about this a couple episodes ago, where if you want to make a change, if you want to make a positive change in your trading, you have to change your environment. You know, if you're doing the exact same thing every day and you're continuing to lose money or you're continuing to have inconsistency, then something needs to change. And sometimes that can be just a tiny little tweak.  Remember, when you're dealing with your own money, when you're dealing with your finances, it's emotional, it just is. And so if you're watching your P&L swing around, that can cause you to make decisions that you wouldn't otherwise make.  The other thing that this will help you do is become self-aware. One of the biggest struggles for, especially newer traders, is being aware of how their emotions control their decision-making process.  I want you to write down how you're feeling when your P&L is hidden. It'll create an awareness about your emotions. It'll create an awareness about yourself that you may not have seen before. And we all know this is, I mean, the whole topic of this podcast is mindset.  And I think this is one of those things that I want you to try that can really shed some light, not only on your P&L and potentially make you a more profitable trader, but will also help you be more self-aware about your decision-making process and how your emotions affect those based on your P&L swings. One thing that I do also do during my trading, if I catch myself taking a peek at my P&L or if I even catch myself thinking about my P&L during the trading, sometimes I'll take a little time out. I will take a couple deep breaths, I'll hide it, and I will either talk out loud or I will write down what I'm seeing in the markets at this time. Is there a bullish sentiment? Is there a bearish sentiment? Is the market coming to a grinding halt? Is it extremely volatile? I'll just kind of try to reset and refresh my mind because if you're watching your P&L, those different thoughts start to creep into your mind, like, oh my gosh, I don't wanna have a red day. And let's say I had a red day yesterday, oh my gosh, I don't wanna have two red days in a row or maybe you're on a real hot streak and you've got 10 winning days in a row and you don't wanna break that streak. And so you start focusing on your P&L, oh, I'm taking and you start taking winners too quick because you're trying to just keep that profit, keep that green streak alive and all of those things ultimately are going to work against you and your profits over time, not help you. Your goal as a trader is to be market focused, not money focused. And if you follow this exercise of not watching your P&L, it's gonna create a positive habit and this is gonna help ensure that you're keeping your mind in check and that's keeping your mind in the flow with the market, not on your financial goal or the monetary P&L swings that you're seeing.

was insane it was deadlock exactly reading the leaks though this one also includes the force away right after we did it on order 66 right I still think the rise of skywalker is worse than the last Jedi I think you may be forgiving the last Jedi's tisms maybe I think you may be forgiving the rise of skywalker I actually agree with Jay on this one I think rise of skywalker is just a little bit worse like I would agree with you like originally but then it took some time to realize that the only reason that the rise of skywalker is as bad as it is because it was doing damage control for TLJ no no that's not people keep saying that half of the things that damage control for TLJ are like some of the least offensive parts of the film JJ like made that shit by himself like the first thing that it does is bring back Palpatine there was nothing nothing TLJ totally set that up TLJ definitely destroyed Luke but the rise of skywalker destroyed the greatest villain in cinematic history which is worse in my opinion I'm not saying that the rise of skywalker would have been good if TLJ didn't exist it still had made its own big stupid foibles but having to do damage control for TLJ probably would have at least got the pacing better no I mean it was a staggeringly low vote for the false awakens people seem to be sure that the false awakens really is better than the other two I guess the hun solo damage and the damage to the world just not as significant as what happens in the other two which I think is fair most inconsistent character in the rise of skywalker the top vote was Kylo Ren but he was disqualified so next up was Admiral Hux I guess so oh yeah that's what I chose oh yeah I'm trying to remember what the results of that were actually do we have that on eFab.me the votes and I don't know I know I chose Rey and I was right yeah I chose Rey and I was right Admiral Hux looks like Rey narrowly edged it out over Luke Skywalker I don't want to think about Rey edging Luke Skywalker oh no retirement no he didn't looks like in the community response Christmas is currently beating Halloween horrifying yeah no they're correct you know how people say that the eFab audience is just Nazi I agree with that yes all I need to know is that tonald likes Halloween and that's just all the confirmation yeah that was wonderful everyone voting Christmas needs to know that you're gonna just please tonald I liked Halloween before tonald said it you know I think I think I might prefer Thanksgiving and St. Patrick's Day over Halloween though because both both holidays cater to my gluttony and my alcoholism Halloween doesn't you know I'm not a big candy person I'm not a big sweets person you can just get drunk I'm a big sweets person I like me some sweets well like does like the cakes count as that not for Halloween I don't think what did they magically turn into something like candy bars which are closer to cakes than what you think of when you think of candy which is like hard candy and gummies and stuff yeah I don't think of candy bars when I think of cake like you know like a cake bar which is like just cake wrapped with like maybe caramel and biscuit wrapped in chocolate there are some Quebec style cakes like that but that's very specific it's what we would call a cake bar and some deplorable parts of the UK oh really a cake bar that's new okay I've heard people from the UK refer to soda as fizzy juice so whenever I use UK use a word for food I have no idea what they're talking about a flapjack there is like an oat bar here it's basically a pancake oh I got that you want some I said like that um we got the most wholesome laugh competition was Moriarty versus Mark After Dark versus Jay Longbone are there any more there are trio of laugh to people no one else has laughed on e-fap no well Jay Longbone smashed the competition which is interesting it's hard to beat Moriarty honestly Jay Longbone this is a powerhouse oh yeah absolutely I completely agree with that like black don't crack we got Jay kick, hug or both both seems to be the overwhelming winner with a kick on the back up and hug being the lowest selected out of the three options oh I get it you can hug him so you can kick him like harder and more often because he can't escape stop let me go 140 people voted for high rags hello you have to say it 440 times oh my god yeah you do have to say it 440 times can I say them all simultaneously do it hello rags I was expecting like no I said them all simultaneously and it's I'm gonna be really loud no I said it very very softly as far as it came out that loud I barely said anything but wow I tried to be imperceptible that's cray cray hang on I'll help hello hello hello oh my god you just gotta really mash the shit out of that I think we'll be good he has stolen your voice good back it's rude he's a wizard our old odd choice I want to see some slug for someone to do it cowards not a lot of tapeworms I really love your tapeworms not a lot of tapeworms where is the love from the larva jellyfish yeah no jellyfish no fish in general actually come on salee let's let the shark in which case they make them look as not shark as possible I went to my first furry con ever back in February I'm not a furry but I went with Adam from YMS when I was visiting Vancouver just to observe it was good time you have to study the enemy I'm not a furry stop saying it guys I swear oh wait Mel what's that picture from I don't recognize it someone sent it to me on twitter is it of a you do you want to put it on screen hang on let me are you riding something like a rhino I don't know most people all these days no I'm just standing around I'll drag it into the Chattenheimer I felt like we should probably ask J permission is it cool for other people to ride rhinos or is that is he doing knee squats I think so that's from the Zia Blackbird her body is just frozen that way it's like doing some really hardcore workout are you playing VR I forgot my VR set though what brand are those headphones sets what sets are those headphones what brand are those headphones Sadies it's like actually really cheap ones Sadies I still love

like that it's canon that you wear that shirt all the time that's true you got a toxic brood badge as well official be still crying though we were talking about once you stop crying things are going to get weird everyone should get scared what's going on are you always in a lunge stance like that yeah most of the time you must have very fit legs then I don't I'm crying I do not lie probably crying because he can't get out of the lunge stance he's practicing for his streetcar named by Marlon Brando no I have not anything like I've been kind of like seen about what I mean we almost didn't

you're around wait I can't fit a bit because we're a fucking full capacity on discord right now it's the endgame of strings we need to summon him the legend of Korra was really good oh no it was fucking internet his story just showed up in the first part he's like yeah okay I'll hang response to Jim Stirling for like five hours sweet that was super bad I'm glad I don't follow him anymore hey man he says some good stuff about something sometimes I'm not gonna promise what it was or what it is but sometimes yeah the ratio is getting a little out of whack now I'm getting tired of it for who? he's got a weird boner for a full guys as well like you'd think after J's video came out that people would get the message but no everyone's got their own opinions I'm glad I don't have opinions I just have facts facts facts and logic facts facts and logic someone did a meme of me where I stopped crying because if a 100 is coming on something I can't find it anymore if you're listening send it to twitter or something I can't find it come on we can't see you not crying that's gonna disturb the balance sorry can I just say I really like this avatar oh yeah it's not the one where you got like all the lengthy limbs and then that one point it's like just slightly out of frame actually as well I can tell you that throughout EFAP 100 where are we I went through 186 avatars oh my god so are you doing that manually yes I am not smart enough to do that okay but I'm sure it wasn't clunky as hell and nobody noticed so it worked out really well smoothly little clown boy that insult Tony knew what was up he knew the kind of powerhouse he was generating with that 10 people in silence yes that's the definition of Victor from legal legends and Heimer Dinger have we got any more terrible scripts we can do dramatically we've got ten more over here I'm good I would rather discuss trigonometry it's pretty interesting normalize some vectors gentlemen tell that to Zod's neck oh no listen he threw that out in a couple of minutes and you were like ohhhh judging news not very nice a creator what was the famous quote from Christophe a person works on a film for like two years and what do we do we come home as critics we watch their film we spend like half an hour and then we upload some video to youtube you know you really have to appreciate how much how did they work ah gogar sent me the meme my hero I need to save it first I shall link it in a second one second wow it is hard to type accurately just 30 minutes ragaloonies oh wow 30 minutes it's half an hour what if I told you it was actually three hours I don't know what I do no I give up I just don't know what I do I just don't know what I do I just don't know what I do did it did it did it did it what could I do what would I have the energy to do where's the glooms where's my folder so you really think Jared was the one that said last season was better no no I think I think that Jared is I don't know what's going on I don't know what's going on in Jared world he got grounded this guy that I know tricked him into playing porn on his main channel and got his main channel that people actually watched banned I don't know if you saw that well how many channels do you have I mean he has a few older ones but his two main ones the ones that had over a thousand subscribers both got destroyed for different violations and this guy that I know was re-streaming one of Jared's streams commenting on what he was doing and Jared thought he was being clever and announced in the stream that he was going to play porn to try to get my friend's channel deleted but then my friend just heard him say that and stopped re-streaming him but Jared played the porn anyway and got his own channel deleted wow nice it was a crazy time with fucking Keemstar when I went after Jared that's because Billy the fridge told him about Jared he freaks out at his dad didn't he yeah and then there was the whole saying he dated 15 year old I think he said an 8 year old actually and and his discord servers would always get deleted because the maps would flood into his discord servers so weird he's currently drawing cartographers just keeps going downhill what if cartographers became like a slang word for pedophile that would sound correct I was going to say the poor cartographers what the fuck yeah he's grounded from the internet though does anyone ever actually met a real cartographer I'm not convinced they did isn't it like the ed profession here anyway it's not exactly it's going to be places we're all pedophiles so there's a guy and he's like he's working real hard and then he finds out he's a pedophile now and he's like what the fuck I didn't sign up for this and he quits being a cartographer then there's none left you happy how many pedophiles do you try now there's no pedophile application board yeah there is registered to be a pedophile in this district yeah it's called the sex offenders register yeah but somebody called Jared's house and talked to his dad on a live stream and after that happened he got grounded from the internet again but Jared's dad like talked to the person that called him for a really long time like gave a whole interview it was really weird and then after that Jared was gone because he hasn't like returned he's uh no he hasn't and that's fine I'm glad he's gone dude the internet was not fucking good for him you could say that much I don't know what would be good for him no that's good that's a good point doing Toy Story series 1, 2, 3 was you know keeping him busy but there's only so many Toy Story movies does he also have a personal beef with the Green Ranger from Power Rangers Tomy Oliver yes there's a whole strange history to that apparently Tomy Oliver I've seen him at conventions he's like a proper like alpha male if you want to tell the story it's fucking hilarious where Jared lives in the area he lives in the actor that played the Green Ranger has a martial arts school there and Jared went in there acting like he was tough and challenged people to spar and he has no actual experience doing this and because he was running his mouth the Green Ranger the Green Ranger put him up against his best student and the guy destroyed him and then he made a video complaining about it and then one of his trolls named himself the Green Ranger and went after him for years the Green Ranger is Frederick Knudsen going to make the rabbit hole for Jared I think he should he really should Frederick if you're listening do it please do it do it do it stop pooping do more only if you stop coming oh my god how long do I have to stop doing that for 26 minutes there you go so so what how about that new football thing did you see that ludicrous display last night ludicrous they always try to walk it in he gets the reference I was some of the impression everybody did whoever hasn't seen that show deserves well I don't want to say it live I could get booed what show the crowd of information technology I always thought it was the it crowd when I was a kid because I was fucking moron well in fairness that's how they would pronounce it on s4c next up will be the it crowd it's like oh they're the it crowd they're in and then you watch it and there are a bunch of nudes and you're like I was lied to you ever watched Garth Meringi's Dark Place yes no I have not yes it's great hang on you've actually watched something shut the fuck up should we just name shows until we find one that all of us have seen everyone's in black out of yes no why does it have to be a black out of huh no this is a show called white out of two black member Simpsons sorry Simpsons isn't it weird how nobody pronounces the I Simpsons Simpsons Simpsons so fucking stupid it like felt like because it was a mean friend of mine it's like they were trolling us in the class like people gradually realizing there's no p pronounced in Simpsons while pronouncing the p it's just like what are you all doing it's like Simpsons yeah there's no p it's like what the fuck I think it's really weird how some people don't pronounce the s in impon impon impsons impsons fuck it up I'm not allowed to say any s's for the rest of the stream no no you have to replace all of your s's with t's just stop going shh shh shh shh nor nor the other Australians try to match up to fringies nor's and they can't do it no no oh my I'll get there I'll get there I can link the news he will bellow a nor that shatters his own rooftop nor he already did oh yeah shit you got that that's on the way right it is I kinda got the crap kicked out of me with day job shit but the worst is over so I'm probably gonna work on that tonight yeah you guys we got so many things coming so the reuploads of all these streams plus the reactions that have yet to come out and the main meme itself plus a batwammin episode I believe we've got one definitely ready and one is cooking but that's it for them for the batwammin's which is kinda sad to be honest with you but you are gonna cover season 2 correct are you kidding me it will be crawling all over I swear to god if it's slightly better we'll be so disappointed she turns out to be a great actress it's like oh shit and they hire a new writer who's like yeah I really care about the story of batwammin we're like no it's good now you screwed it up the theme song is legitimately amazing I don't wanna like it cause it's good I completely forgot someone said hey what about the torchwood video it's like oh right jay is that still set for christmas is that the plan you'll be seeing an e-fap torchwood mini any torchwood chat any chris chevrolet fans in chat why would you say that it's gonna be a good christmas for you they wouldn't want to identify themselves you're gonna criticize the poor doctor who is that what you're gonna do it's gonna be about 2 hours plus it's the plan it's gonna go through everything not chronologically but like going point through point of why each bit of it is terrible and why every aspect by aspect more than chronologically why must you hate women because they're just worse worst worst worst I'm quite interested to see what's gonna happen with TV production because of coronavirus the quality of TV shows is just gonna fucking plummet you can already see that with some of the other shows somehow some shows have been preempting it since 2017 wow it's really jarring cause over here in the UK some of our soap operas have started filming again but they have to practice social distancing so anyone having a fight has to just yell across a room at someone that sounds fucking hilarious it's really bizarre it's like watching something made by Tommy Wiseau like you've got two loving couples like I love you but they can't hug or kiss so it's just really bizarre jarring do you think there'll be a rise in animation because of this if this continues this kind of quality animation because animation takes a long time is expensive so we're gonna have a lot more shitty cal art style bollocks coming up I can guarantee that I can just imagine if those soap operas when the boyfriend shows up or rather the husband shows up on the boyfriend they start physically fighting they have to use like towels like whip each other with them for the social distancing they just use shots of like one guy throwing a punch and then it cuts to another guy like punching I didn't have to have like psychic battles like everyone in a soap opera do that psychic abilities and end up punching themselves in the face taking over your mind yeah just people you know you know in like Star Wars where everyone for some reason just sticks their hand out and pulls like a constipated face it'll be like that meh meh meh meh meh meh meh meh shinna na na na na shah and all the movies that were supposed to come out this year will be coming out next year it's very interesting time and Disney's hemorrhaging money as well so that's good to see I like corporations you know what I think they need to do is start adding DLC to all games where you can play as your favourite internet browser and corporation and internet providers that sounds great I fucking love Fall Guys yes they need to put it on all games and I think that'll improve games you guys reckon only if I can get the rainbow skin and only use it for a month and then immediately change back whenever it's going to be for me what I would like to do is get like a corporate skin in a game where you can like do really horrible things and then use the corporate like skin to commit racially charged genocide or something bring it down that's what it is one old McDonald's in GDA 5 and only kill black people yeah that's the kind of thing I want brands to feel regret in the new Avengers game there are like corporate skins aren't there like monster superhero outfits and things like that there's essentially advertising in the game and you can wear, I think I've seen a stream and someone had some sort of corporate logo so times are hard so I can imagine a lot more shows are going to have like sponsorship and things like that so I think there will be games people were running around as Pepsi or Tango or whatever I want my Verizon skin mom I love Verizon are you guys looking forward to Star Wars squadrons no no why would I be looking forward to that it looks like something, well I like flight simulator games and I used to play like X-Wing and TIE Fighter and those kind of games back in the day so this kind of looks like a multiplayer version of it but I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean by look forward to something I don't understand that emotion anymore yeah don't you anticipate something positively I don't know I guess do you mean DREPT is the right one yeah I have a really hard time getting excited I have not yet been crushed by my own cynicism yet I guess he enjoys things Ew I think the only thing I'm cautiously optimistic for is Cyberpunk 2077 and it's interesting they've been delaying that a lot so I imagine they're really really ready to give it their best foot forward so I'm very curious I heard the latest delay was pretty much exclusively just to get it on the next gen consoles yeah and isn't there multiplayer as well now I don't know I haven't been I've been pretty much avoiding news of it I want to just go into it without knowing much yeah I think they're trying to just make the single player like super duper good and then work the multiplayer in like maybe a year or two later which is fine I like that idea the one I'm avoiding is Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2 that looks like an absolute dumpster fire yeah they just fired at Brian Mithboda and Kai for me just last week for no reason they just oh this is get rid of our creative director they're a lead narrative designer after five years we'll just fire them for no reason yeah the one person because a lot of people bought the game they got the original guys who made the first game which is a cult classic and now he's gone and you just see people going well I'm gonna cancel my pre-order and it's like a monkey's paw someone got hold of a fucking monkey's paw and said I want a new Bloodlines game and there is one but it's being the lead designer now probably falls to what Kara Ellison she's whose experience in writing is being a games journalist well those two guys were pretty lefty they've always been that way it's always been a political-ish story so that's fine I don't care what they put into it they're gonna give us quality if those two are on board so now that they've not rehired a new narrative designer or rather a new writer for the whatever you want to call him he's in charge of his writing team the old writers are still there so they can do whatever they want to the dialogue they can redo lines it's coming up another year anyway so they have plenty of time to change things but who knows what they can do and they've already replaced the creative designer or the creative director rather so they can change little things but that's not a that's not a huge issue like lighting visuals I think those are pretty much baked so it's the writing that could easily change and that is just like who knows what they can do well I'm apprehensive because one it's paradox and they're getting really shitty with their DLC and just the quality and then the people who are making it who is hard suit labs who have a terrible track record if you look on Metacritic the only game they've got that has like a 75 score is black light retribution they didn't even make they just bought the IP or someone else everything else is like in the red shitty mobile games so I'm that's a monkey's paw I think come yum can you do like a review of that song I don't know what are the themes of the message me themes tasty I can do a review of raxing tasty seamen just then how much longer 14 minutes approximately I think you should do a stream playing AI dungeon AI dungeon oh AI dungeon is great it's really like it's multiplayer as well and free it's like you know those text games where it like tells you what's going on around you and you type in what you want to do you generate an AI by AI oh my god people are sending people are sending tonal memes on twitter and he's replying to all of them yeah I saw that really yeah and I he said we must rally the better bravestore but we're gonna cook for sauron like yes cook for sauron I need to figure out how I can stream me cooking and I want to cook as a meal and stream it just because I can wolf was a cool dude for sure yeah that's the happiest I've ever been in my entire life oh my god we got pink neckos did we can warrior as a full guy sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry chat I'll show you in a moment there's three to set up gosh there we go oh jesus you weren't kidding he's really replying to every single one incredible we're at on twitter yeah there's this weekend warrior fullman and he is quick doodles of ragu oh fuck yeah and mulenheimer looking fancy why is why is that we can warrior a full guys character why wouldn't he be because he's fat and retarded oh no I see what oh my goodness that's not a nice thing to say about weekend warrior that's a lot better than calling him from the Philippines so yeah if I wanted to call like really insult him I would have called him a dirty Filipino he's not dirty but you see I don't think he's dirty nor do I think he's a Filipino so I didn't call him either I don't see him popping up in the chat you should be right I like how someone said demonetized do you really think we're monetized after what happened earlier no kidding I started I actually started a stream on my phone like a bunch of times where I was here and it still got an ad so oh shit well we need to try harder then actually I've been noticing recently that I'm getting monetized way more easier and the other day I didn't even have to click the review link to have it reviewed it just monetized automatically or it never got unmonetized which is something I almost never experienced yeah interesting I mean I do have more Chuck Tingle novels no I'm putting my foot down and saying no 10 minutes we must provide the audience with commentary if it's 10 minutes alright my outro commentary right now drop it down to 9 damn yeah oh yeah my tizzle just so everyone in the chat is clear this isn't indicative of me coming back to YouTube I don't have another channel I don't plan to make one I'm not coming back as a host in really any capacity it was just episode 100 there's only one episode 100 an episode 150 doesn't quite have the same ring to it actually there are three episode 100s shut up so you're saying you'll come back for episode 1000 if you get there maybe hey rags what you doing for the next what 16 years I'm taking it one doggie day at a time gee I hope they keep releasing shitty media me too I got a sneaking suspicion that they will continue to do so I think it might get on maybe our mission will be complete maybe we'll do such a good job at just all this that they'll stop making bad stuff cause they're gonna get sick of us making fun of it maybe all those people will take the criticism to heart and they'll really go through some self reflection and change their products and their their methods and they'll start making some really good really good stuff he's gonna get bought by disney and then recast with all new actors that's gonna get bought by ten cent give it the time oh man I think we're worth more than that you're gonna get played by gilford gilford dog gilford godfuck gilford godfuck gilford godfuck gilford godfrids I'm gilford godfuck our hours name is I'm gilford godfuck yeah well you know Ben Shapiro can we have abby Shapiro next time he's better to look at can we he's uh a lot of people are better to look at than Ben Shapiro I find him I find him somewhat

boneless chicken aren't old chickens boneless that must be hilarious to work at one of those boneless chicken ranches where they have the free range boneless chickens they're just flopping around everywhere it's not even like a painful existence they're happy there's like they're having a great time they're just flopping around oh my god I just imagined like what would that feel like picking it up and it like like like it warms in your head yeah I would drop that shit and leave the place immediately that sounds horrible oh traumatized for weeks there's like 10,000 of them in front of you yeah could you like imagine picking one up and it feels like a water balloon only its eyes move you're just like oh you drop it just just bounces it looks like a chicken feels like a jellyfish something about it makes my arms like jiver jelly like I just picture this a little treadmill that takes them all back up once they roll down the little hill you could just flop onto it just like takes them back up and they're free range that would actually be worse than anything in Australia it wouldn't be very threatening though how does it kill it just falls on you I would feel very threatened by like those gelatinous chickens like rolling after me yeah like maybe they're like bees where they'll like vibrate really fast and then burn you no no no no no no no no look I have too wild of an imagination and it's going to be a lot worse in my head than it would be in real life oh I can't do it five minutes what are you doing well I'll say when we started when we decided to be a podcaster we were like let's make it to at least 100 before we quit I quit a little bit but hey we made it to 100 it took a while you know those 100 episodes with an average length of what seven hours
