- 2:29I can't believe it's July already anyways.
- 2:30But so this is going to be kind of this is going to be for our
- 2:36people out there that are going through some stuff.
- 2:41So this is a good, good weekly, daily after daily affirmation.
- 2:46I've made it through hard times before and I've come out
- 2:51stronger because of them. I'm going to make it through
- 2:54this. So that I feel is definitely a
- 2:59good mental health matters information.
- 3:04Yeah, most definitely. I love that.
- 3:07Where? Do you need to find my mental
- 3:09health shirt? It reminds me.

- 3:19the quotes that you have survived 100% of your bad days.
- 3:24And. You're still here.
- 3:26So that affirmation kind of makes me think of that quote.
- 3:30So I really like that. So I really like that
- 3:34affirmation a lot a lot. I know I know quite a few people
- 3:37out there struggling right now. So if they're listening, I hope
- 3:43that they say that affirmation every day.
- 3:47Say it again, you. Want me to say it again?
- 3:50Yes, please say it again everybody.
- 3:52I've made it through hard times before and I've come out

- 18:02So yeah, on this show, there will be spoilers.
- 18:08And at times, we do tend to add in trivia or a sequence free to
- 18:11pond over. It's what we do here.
- 18:13It's what we like to do. We like to talk, we like to ask
- 18:17questions. We like to know what you think
- 18:19of this show. So follow along.
- 18:23If you want to go back and listen to past episodes about
- 18:25Cobra Kai or Brandy, first time on the show, I suggest you go
- 18:30back and listen to episode 154 and then continue on from there.
- 18:33It's what you gave her, right? Episode 154.
- 18:36I sure did. She sure did like I said, if you
- 18:43want to go back and listen to past episodes about covert Kai
- 18:47or Brandy's first time on the show, it is episode 154.
- 18:52Go along from there. We I tend to talk about other
- 18:56stuff in between like wrestling and other stuff, music possibly,
- 19:00but it the shows aren't there. We're talking about covert Kai
- 19:04mostly on here. So if you let's, we're done.
- 19:10We're here. Let's get ready.
- 19:12This is episode 7. It's called LOL.
- 19:16Directed by Jennifer Saluda. Story by Josh Field, John
- 19:20Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, the creator of the show.
- 19:23Teleplay written by Kevin McManus and Matthew McManus.
- 19:27So the story comprises a basic narrative idea, theme or outline
- 19:31indicating character development and action, while the teleplay
- 19:35consists of individual scenes at full dialogue or monologue,
- 19:38including narration and connection therewith and camera
- 19:40setup is required. So story by the creators of the
- 19:45show is the storyboard. Like this is what we want to
- 19:47happen. Teleplay.
- 19:49Kevin and Matthew McManus are just like, this is what they
- 19:52should say, like monologue and dialogue, including the stuff
- 19:59that's happened in between the camera setup and all that stuff.
- 20:03So. You know, it doesn't necessarily
- 20:08happen all the time. It just happens sometimes on
- 20:11shows where instead of saying written by, it says story and
- 20:16teleplay. So, you know, just the story is
- 20:23always going to be by Joshua John Herbert and Haden Strasburg
- 20:25teleplay. It's going to be something
- 20:27different. Who wrote the dialogue?
- 20:30And now we know who wrote the dialogue.
- 20:33Now we know who to blame in case it's bad.
- 20:40I'm not saying to see this is going to be bad.
- 20:42I'm just saying we now know who to blame.
- 20:45And I think that's what they're like trying to do Like, hey,
- 20:47it's not our fault. We just wrote the storyboard.
- 20:50They wrote the the dialogue and everything.
- 20:52It's like, oh, it's like you're the one that thought to.
- 20:55It was a great idea to say that Robbie is Daniel's boyfriend,
- 21:00OK. OK, moving along.
- 21:07Moving along, go back to said nostis to prepare his students.
- 21:11Daniel gives some new training methods a shot.
- 21:13Miguel puts a new lesson into practice.
- 21:15Johnny makes a tough but pivotal decision that affects corporate.
- 21:18Kai called open to the Larousse's home.
- 21:21Amanda waking up by herself and worried that her husband is not
- 21:24next to her. She calls him wondering if he's
- 21:27at the dealership already and he responds that he's at the Miyagi
- 21:29Dojo and wanting to get an early jump on that day's lesson.
- 21:35She reminds him he has to be at the dealership to have lunch
- 21:39with Anuj, who is still upset about getting put in the stomach
- 21:42for them by Johnny. Daniel says he will be there and
- 21:46they hang up. Big collective side from Amanda.
- 21:52We know honey, we know who lays back down.
- 21:56From inside the Dojo though. Daniel hears the punchy bag
- 21:59being worked on and thinks that Robbie is hitting the but
- 22:02instead finds Crease hitting the bag and smirking at the sight of
- 22:05Daniel. Daniel asked if this is what
- 22:09it's come down to. Praying and entering, Crease
- 22:11thanks him for taking their weakest soldiers from the Cobra
- 22:14Kai ranks. Daniel says they're not
- 22:16soldiers, they're kids. Crease tells Daniel he thinks he
- 22:20may have gotten the best of Johnny, but this time around,
- 22:25Crease promises he won't. He won't let him lose.
- 22:28Daniel says this isn't war. Crease takes a puff of his cigar
- 22:32and his reason says sure it is because peace, according to
- 22:36Crease, is just the law between battles.
- 22:39And there's there's what law means.
- 22:42That's why the episode called Law but.
- 22:45I was wondering. Thank you.
- 22:46Like what? I'm like Lizzie's laughing lol
- 22:51hello. No, it's the law.
- 22:54Between battles, he asked Daniel if he thought he would attack
- 22:57Cobra Kai and there wouldn't be any consequence.
- 22:59Crease walks past Daniel, who follows where he's going.
- 23:03Crease takes his cigar and puts it on one of the bonsai trees,
- 23:05telling him he'd better hope his students are ready because Cobra
- 23:08Kai is. Daniel's distraught at the
- 23:11cigar, the bonsai tree. Oh no.
- 23:13Before Crease leaves, he sends his regards to Mr. Miyagi, to
- 23:16which the desk stare on Daniel's face where he mentioned his
- 23:20father figure. The yellow Cobra Kai logo
- 23:24appears on the screen. Oh, I wanted them to fight.
- 23:31I did not. You know Daniel can't beat up an
- 23:34old man. Right, that's what I was
- 23:37thinking. He's not going to beat him up.
- 23:44And Craig's mindset, as always, is he's training soldiers and
- 23:50not, you know, young kids. He's these are soldiers, They're
- 23:54going to war. They're in a.
- 23:55War, yeah. So Chris's mindset is still in
- 23:58war. So it was like he's putting that
- 24:00into with them. Like, no, we're going to war
- 24:04kids. Daniel's all like they're kids,
- 24:06dude, relax. Like, no, they're they're
- 24:09they're soldiers. And that's why I hate Craig.
- 24:19Yeah, me too. Next thing that delivers a home,
- 24:23Moon is sitting on Sam's bed while she tries a green smoothie
- 24:26that, according to Moon, is supposed to balance her kinetic
- 24:30energy. Sam asked Moon which top she
- 24:33should try on. Moon thinks that it doesn't
- 24:36matter, she is going to make it sweaty.
- 24:42Why was that necessary to say? I don't because she's, she's
- 24:49because she's going to be training.
- 24:53She's training the Dojo, Dojo. She's she's doing karate in it.
- 24:57Girl, it doesn't matter what you're going to wear, you're
- 24:58going to get sweaty. Exactly.
- 25:01That's what she's saying, and it's the whole point of Sam is
- 25:08basically saying that she has a thing for Robbie.
- 25:12Hello. Yeah.
- 25:14She wants to look cute. That was the point of this.
- 25:17She wants to look cute. Yes.
- 25:19He realizes that maybe Sam is trying to dress cute for a guy
- 25:22and she asked him if she has a crush on Robbie.
- 25:24See, Sam explained. I was right.
- 25:32Yeah, you're right. Sam explained that they almost
- 25:35kissed, which turned into an awkward more situation during
- 25:37the last episode. By the way, did you think that's
- 25:40more or not? No.
- 25:42I have not. Thank you for reminding me.
- 25:45I'm going to have to get the stuff this weekend, all right?
- 25:48Peanut buttercup, Peanut buttercup, Graham cracker and
- 25:52marshmallows, right? Marshmallows, yes.
- 25:54Putting it on my list. Speaking of, did you ever try
- 25:58the Did you ever try the fried Bologna with ketchup?
- 26:02Oh yeah, of course. No, wait, there was something.
- 26:06No, wait, there was something you did not do.
- 26:12I tried it on the tortilla, but there was something you were you
- 26:18were supposed to try and you never did.
- 26:19I have to go back and and listen to the episode.
- 26:22I forgot what it was. I thought it was a little fried
- 26:25baloney sandwich with. Tortilla.
- 26:27That's what I asked. I don't.
- 26:29Know you sure? I'm sure it's like I tried it
- 26:32before. OK, maybe it wasn't I'll.
- 26:37Go back and. We got to listen to it because
- 26:41you need to do that. Whatever it is, Moon ask if
- 26:48Miguel knows, says Sam says there's nothing to know and
- 26:51tells her about last season she got back into karate to get away
- 26:54from all the drama. Moon quote from her mom's
- 26:57therapist. You can't hide from your heart
- 27:00and suggest going with the blue top because it goes through your
- 27:02eyes. Sam ask what about shoes?
- 27:07I like moon. OK, so Sam thinks there's
- 27:10nothing to know. Like, she's doing what she wants
- 27:13to do. She's has this crush on Robbie
- 27:17of blah, blah, blah. Right?
- 27:19OK, we get it. Yeah.
- 27:23I hope she doesn't get up. I hope she doesn't get upset
- 27:26about Miguel or anything. Especially after this moment.
- 27:35I was like, Oh my God, I love. I have a crush on Robbie.
- 27:38He he she's on cloud 9 telling Moonves and Moonves are like oh
- 27:41cool. Also are we not going to explain
- 27:47how Moon is back to being friends with Sam?
- 27:50I mean. They were never really not
- 27:55friends and isn't what's her name gone.
- 27:57Yeah, I mean, girl in France, she's.
- 27:59Gone. Yeah, that's why.
- 28:01That's why she's in France. She's gone.
- 28:03She's in France for the summer, so like when she comes back,
- 28:07what she's just like not going to associate with Moon and Sam
- 28:12again or it's weird because that whole.
- 28:18Changed friends all the time. That whole dynamic wasn't Moon
- 28:22making fun of Aisha. No, they made, remember, they
- 28:26made-up, OK. They made-up when she broke up
- 28:33with or before she broke up with, what's her name, Park.
- 28:39They made-up. Oh, no.
- 28:41Remember at the party? The beach?
- 28:43The beach? She made-up with each.
- 28:45Yeah. When Jasmine was being a little,
- 28:49yeah. Yeah.
- 28:53So there's so there's the, there's that explanation.
- 28:56Moon is awesome. We like Moon.
- 28:58We like Moon fine at the Cobra Kai Dojo.
- 29:02Johnny is back from his road trip and the funeral and walked
- 29:05in on the students stretching and getting ready for today's
- 29:07lesson. Miguel welcomes him back and
- 29:10says that Crease is tough. Johnny goes to his office and
- 29:13knows all his stuff has been moved.
- 29:15Crease has spent some time organizing, cleaning up, getting
- 29:17the unpaid bills and the backed up invoices together.
- 29:21He's a military man. He doesn't like anything being
- 29:23disorganized. I get you.
- 29:27He wants everything organized. Not a military man, but, you
- 29:30know, like, yeah, organization. Johnny says he's been making
- 29:35himself at home while he notices a picture frame hanging on the
- 29:38wall of Crease. Back in the military days that
- 29:40read Captain John Crease of the USA Army 1970 and 1972 Karate
- 29:45Champion. Crease says his buddy took that
- 29:48photo. I wonder who the buddy is.
- 29:52Do you wonder who the buddy is? I wonder.
- 29:56I wonder who that buddy was that took that photo.
- 29:59Oh my God is like eating at me and I want to know now.
- 30:08We can't spoil it though though. No, we can't.
- 30:12I can't wait to find out Johnny Rose's eyes.
- 30:17Remembering what his 84 corporate friends said last
- 30:20episode not to trust Chris and Opera, Lee says he has a class
- 30:22to run. He goes to the training area and
- 30:24ask everyone to wear their ghee, but are in track suits instead.
- 30:29Some are in sweats. Miguel thought they were all
- 30:31going to the Whiz for special training.
- 30:33Johnny asked what's happening in the woods.
- 30:35Crazy response that he thought it was time to separate the men
- 30:37from the boys as well as the girls by going to Coyote Creek.
- 30:41Johnny doesn't think they're ready for Coyote Creek, which
- 30:43alarms everyone's thinking it's going to be a test.
- 30:46Hawks says they're ready and they want to prove themselves.
- 30:50After a few seconds of Miguel looking like a sad puppy, Johnny
- 30:53agrees it's time to go out there and get them ready.
- 30:56It's always Big Al. Like, come on, boss, I'll let
- 31:00you take my mom, please. OK, Miguel, I'll do it for you.
- 31:10But it's all right. I got you on the other side of
- 31:18town. At the Miyagi though all the
- 31:19students are sitting underneath the tree trying to stay in the
- 31:21shade due to how hot that day is.
- 31:26Hi, we get you. It's been hot over here too.
- 31:33Dimitri says. He says he is sweating in places
- 31:35he know how. Pours and wife has sweat on Sam
- 31:38who've always sent them in back she saw like EW no here's your
- 31:41sweat back bud or here are some of my sweat too.
- 31:47Daniel comes out of the Dojo and tells everyone to get out from
- 31:50under the tree and get back to work.
- 31:52Robbie wants Daniel to take it easy on them due to it being
- 31:55100°. Daniel says the heat wave is a
- 31:58gift and revealed they're going to experience Sochu Gaiku.
- 32:02Chris has like the car insurance to me behind us.
- 32:13Daniel's explanation is that Sochu Gaiku is where you train
- 32:16during the hottest days of the year.
- 32:19He's not wrong. According to the website
- 32:22gentleartdojo.com, Jiu Jitsu a comfortably and struggle breed
- 32:27mental toughness. This is the idea from which Khan
- 32:30and Soku Gaiko come from. Kangaiko meaning winter training
- 32:34and Soku Gaiko mean summer training.
- 32:37Training is held in the dark days of summer training in the
- 32:40early morning with the heat and humidity.
- 32:42As time progressed and Judo traveled the world and Mingo in
- 32:44Brazil and had a heavy influence on Brazil and Jiujitsu, the
- 32:49practice of Kangaiko and Soku Gaiko was passed in between the
- 32:53two. And it's still done today in
- 32:55Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. So not only do you know, get to
- 32:58learn stuff about corporate Kai and the actors and stuff, you
- 33:04get to learn about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and back story.
- 33:09How fun, Yes. Don't you just love this show?
- 33:15No, I'm serious, how fun. We love.
- 33:17The show. We love the show.
- 33:19We love this podcast. We I'm talking about this
- 33:21podcast. Don't you just love this podcast
- 33:23that you get to learn more about the past and Karate Kid and
- 33:30Cobra Kai universe. Is that what they're calling it
- 33:34or is it calling it The Karate Kid universe?
- 33:37I don't care. I don't know.
- 33:38I don't know, but I love the fact that I get to look up what
- 33:43some of these stuff mean, like The Who was before Mr. Miyagi,
- 33:51who was a Dojo trainer. And I went back and and looked
- 33:55him up and he's like, he's real. Oh, shit.
- 33:57OK, so they're using real stuff, real training.
- 34:01Some of them are like Dimitri, the the active place.
- 34:04Dimitri is into Krav Maga, one of the guys from Karate Kid.
- 34:09What was he Tommy? Or was that Bobby?
- 34:13Bobby. He's the one.
- 34:15He's the one that has a Dojo in real life.
- 34:22So yeah, like I love how we're like we're connecting all these
- 34:26actors, we're connecting all the the show to the real world and
- 34:30how Ken GEICO and Soko GEICO are real stuff happening in
- 34:36Brazilian Jiu Jitsu world. Love it.
- 34:44All right, moving along. Daniel says it's about pushing
- 34:47yourself to your limit. The fight isn't always going to
- 34:50come when it's 75 and breezy. Sam asked.
- 34:52Aren't they supposed to avoid fighting?
- 34:55Daniel has this look like he knows Greece is going to send
- 34:58his soldiers to come fight them. So he tells the students,
- 35:01sometimes you can't and some days the fight will come to you
- 35:05and he wants to make sure they're ready.
- 35:06So he's going to sleep with The students are made of Coyote
- 35:11Creek. Creek explains they have been
- 35:13divided into two teams of red and black headbands, and the
- 35:16goal is to capture as many headbands from the other side as
- 35:20he goes along the lines in the middle of them.
- 35:21He tells them to look across from them today.
- 35:23They're not their friends, not their brothers and sisters, and
- 35:26they are the enemy. Still speaking in military terms
- 35:31like these are not your brothers.
- 35:32These are your enemy, not your opponent, your enemy.
- 35:39Last team standing wins. Miguel asks how to get the
- 35:41headbands and Crease says by any means possible, no rules.
- 35:46Johnny tells them all to use their judgement.
- 35:49This is just a training exercise, so he's telling Crease
- 35:52to relax. It's not a big deal.
- 35:58Crease says sure, but the headband is their life.
- 36:00They lose it, they will die. Thanks coach and Johnny is just
- 36:08looking at him like calm the fuck down.
- 36:10Kris is just like if you value your life you will grab this
- 36:16headband and to kill that tension here comes Ray who just
- 36:23gave himself a makeover and a new name.
- 36:29He says he flipped the script hot style here. 24 You may refer
- 36:34to him as Stingray and he uses the heretofore incorrectly
- 36:43heretofore means before this time or up until now.
- 36:50Up until now you may refer to them as Stingray.
- 36:54Up until now, what what he should have used was henceforth
- 37:00from here and out. My name is Stingray.
- 37:03Oh, my God, He pissed me off and he gave me some PTSD.
- 37:08And I'm like, oh, Cramer. I understand why my teacher
- 37:16wanted me to call the school. OK.
- 37:21Johnny gets annoyed, continues to call him Chubb.
- 37:23It's like, all right, Chubb, it tells Chris.
- 37:30He's got him on this team, Chris, that's terrific.
- 37:31And they begin. He doesn't care.
- 37:33He was like, hey, I was make a man out of this guy.
- 37:37First Team Maria. Oh goodness.
- 37:41I feel like he was the last one called on in gym class.
- 37:45And here he is, the last one in a show in the on the team and he
- 37:52Johnny doesn't want him. So like, you can have him and
- 37:57Chris's like fine, like, all right, whatever you say.
- 38:00But at the Miyagi though, in the front yard, everyone's in the
- 38:04circle with Robbie in the middle waiting for someone to step up
- 38:07to him. Daniel calls out number two and
- 38:09one of them step forward, but Robbie makes quick work of him.
- 38:12Daniel calls out #5 Sam steps forward and kicks Robbie in the
- 38:15midsection, knocking him out of the circle.
- 38:18Daniel called Dimitri for his turn to get in the circle and
- 38:20gets ready. Daniel calls out number three.
- 38:22It is Chris who runs in and punches Dimitri in the chest,
- 38:25knocking his wind out. I'm sorry but I just.
- 38:32I love this part. Chris is just like ready to
- 38:36fight. I'm like damn dude, like you're
- 38:40huge. I mean, I get it.
- 38:42Like I'm like for real. I think Cobra Kai like lost out
- 38:49on Chris but gained Mitch and Mitch is just like I'm learning
- 38:54stuff. But Chris over there is like the
- 38:56bigger one. He could just like punch you in
- 38:59the face and that's it. And he that's what he did right
- 39:03here. He just he like punched Dmitry
- 39:05in the chest, knocking him out. Like Chris apologized and tells
- 39:11him he has to block that, you know, block it next time, man.
- 39:15Daniel calls out number six. I can't make out who it is but
- 39:18he is short and stocky and he sweep Dimitri's leg from behind
- 39:21knocking him out. This poor kid, he knows Krav
- 39:26Maga and yeah he's here, over here getting his ass kicked.
- 39:30Poor guy, he got paid enough. Daniel looks disappointed.
- 39:38Demetrius on the ground saying how much he hates this Sam wine
- 39:41is about taking a break and how this heat is brutal for them.
- 39:44Everyone agrees and you can see them sweating their asses off.
- 39:47Daniel has an idea on how to cool them off and says he can
- 39:50accommodate that. I love that.
- 39:57At Coyote Creek, Miguel and Tory who are on the same team are
- 40:01walking in the woods. Miguel asked what happens if
- 40:03it's just the two of them at the end.
- 40:05Tory answered that she's going to have to rip that headband off
- 40:07his head. Miguel says that headband is
- 40:10staying where it's at. They hear a noise from behind
- 40:12them. One of the students tried to
- 40:13sneak up to them but he got caught.
- 40:16They ultimate fighting with him but Miguel let's Tory take the
- 40:18win and tells him no harsh feelings and Miguel claims no
- 40:21mercy. Next thing Daniel tells the
- 40:26students they couldn't take the heat with Sochu Geiku so maybe
- 40:29they can find Ken Geiku more their liking.
- 40:33We get a full shot of students are now cold and freezing their
- 40:36pups off in a meat locker. Sam asks if there's any GEICO
- 40:40that takes place in a spa. Daniel says it's not about the
- 40:44heat or the cold, it's about adapting to their environment
- 40:46around them and using that to their advantage.
- 40:50He asked the students to look around and what do they see
- 40:52besides the frozen London borough that's in the box
- 40:55labeled Fernandez Mikko? He sees the exhalation of
- 40:58breath, the twitch of a muscle, and the shift of a stance.
- 41:02He tells them if they lean into the cold, it will hide in their
- 41:04senses and anticipate before the moment the opponent strikes and
- 41:08they'll always be ready. Daniel gets a phone call from
- 41:11Anoush and forgets that he had a lunch meeting with him, which we
- 41:15get into an optical flip to the Russo Other group where Anoush
- 41:17is waiting in Amanda's office with deli sandwiches on the
- 41:21desk. It's lunchtime, a news grab his
- 41:23phone, his phone rolls his eyes and plays his phone back in his
- 41:26pocket telling him that he's not coming.
- 41:28He gets up and leaves. Amanda grabs her phone to call
- 41:31Daniel, but she goes straight to voicemail.
- 41:35They're in trouble, he's in trouble.
- 41:38Fernandez Miko is a reference to Freddy Fernandez, the first
- 41:41person that Daniel befriends and the first Karate Kid who was
- 41:45seen wearing AT shirt with the phrase making bacon.
- 41:49It's likely that the establishment belongs to
- 41:51Freddie, which implies that he and Daniel have to remain
- 41:53friends, even allowing the latter to use his meat locker to
- 41:56train his students. It's a we want to do a Rocky
- 42:00thing. What?
- 42:02It's like, you want to do a Rocky thing?
- 42:06They want to punch me. Was that a Rocky or was that
- 42:11Rocky too? I have no idea.
- 42:18But either way it just like they want he wants them to do a Rocky
- 42:23thing. He wants them to like train in
- 42:26the cold, not hit the the meat but train in the cold just like
- 42:33Rocky would in the meat locker scene and in Rocky 4 when he
- 42:38went to Russia in the cold. Like he wants him to.
- 42:41He wants them to hide in their senses, basically.
- 42:46Yeah, yeah. Back at Coyote Creek, Mitch, who
- 42:53is on the black team, is trying to sneak around when he hears
- 42:56the sound of a hawk, which startles him.
- 43:01Like, what was it? He continues to sneak around,
- 43:05but Hawk jumps down from one of the trees and knocks Mitch down,
- 43:07taking his headband and claiming that today he's the enemy.
- 43:11And that was kill #5 he then claims he earned his Medal of
- 43:16Honor and pulls out Mr. Miyagi's medal that's around his neck.
- 43:20As he walks away, the camera pulls back to Miguel over here.
- 43:23All this from behind the trees. So it was Hawk who took the
- 43:31Medal of Honor. And he, of course, he's all
- 43:38worried about his last episode here.
- 43:40He's just like, claiming that he did it.
- 43:43Like, why didn't he do that last episode?
- 43:47Now that they're in the clear, I was like, oh, yeah, it's mine.
- 43:50Meanwhile, Miguel was all like, oh, hell, no, wait.
- 43:54One of them is about, you know, Crazy's teachings.
- 43:58The other one is about Johnny's teachings.
- 44:01I'm so disappointed in Hawk. It's true.
- 44:07I mean we saw in the last few episodes that he was bullied and
- 44:15because of the lip sync. I know.
- 44:18So why? I know.
- 44:20That's why I'm disappointed. So he'd be live long enough to
- 44:25become the villain. Yeah, he, yeah.
- 44:30Like I think we've said that before already about Hawk, that
- 44:34he's like, he was tired of being the hero.
- 44:38So he like just slip flipped it on everybody and like, I'm tired
- 44:42of you guys making fun of me and I'm gonna beat, I'm gonna be a
- 44:44bad ass. Right.
- 44:52Yes. I Well, wait a minute, what do
- 44:58you mean tired of being the hero?
- 44:59When was he the hero? He was a nerd.
- 45:03Like basically she was just a nerd.
- 45:04He was just a. He was a nerd, but why?
- 45:06How is he a hero? He wasn't a hero, he was just
- 45:10picked on, so he was a victim basically.
- 45:14Yeah. Yeah, not a hero, but a victim.
- 45:18Yeah. Back at Fernandez Meat Locker,
- 45:22the students are in one circle again.
- 45:23Sam is in the middle waiting for someone to step up.
- 45:26Daniel calls out number 7 and Chris exhales as he rushes
- 45:29forward but Sam anticipates the move and kicks him in the
- 45:32stomach to back him up. Daniel's proud of Sam and
- 45:35continues the lesson. Calling out number five this
- 45:38time is Robbie who sidekicks her but she blocks it.
- 45:40They go through this whole blocking each other routine in
- 45:42slow motion until they are holding each other's arms and
- 45:45staring each other in the face. All the students see except for
- 45:49Daniel who calls for Demetri to get in the middle.
- 45:52He calls out number six, who runs in and kicks Demetri in the
- 45:55stomach. Daniel tells him to anticipate
- 45:58and look for the signs as his phone is ringing, but it's set
- 46:00down vibrate, reading Amanda's name and showing that there have
- 46:03been five missed calls from her. Back at Career Coyote Creek, we
- 46:09know who is out of the game as they are at the finish line.
- 46:12Aisha walks up to them in Rio is just talking together.
- 46:15Left. Now we are going to get a big
- 46:18fighting view. Fernandez Miko.
- 46:22Dimitri again whines that he can't do this.
- 46:24Here he goes again. He can't concentrate.
- 46:27Between the cold, the shouting and the hole in his sock is
- 46:30making him really uncomfortable. He's always uncomfortable,
- 46:35Daniel. Sorry.
- 46:39Go ahead. No, just Dimitri.
- 46:43He's funny. Just, you know, that would bug
- 46:45me to having a hole in my sock. I get it.
- 46:49Daniel is finally annoyed. Yeah, I know.
- 46:51Like yeah, being it'd be weird if he had a hold in his shoe,
- 46:56but it's not. He doesn't have a hold in his
- 46:58shoe, he has a hold in his sock. Like it's not like a big deal.
- 47:05Finally annoyed, Daniel tells him he is the most neurotic
- 47:08person he knows and he always expects the worst and use it.
- 47:12So use it as his advantage. Which means he always
- 47:15anticipates. So think of it as him having
- 47:17spider senses. He's trying to get into the nerd
- 47:23sense by giving him nerd references and it's not working.
- 47:30Still, he tells him this isn't about who's the fastest or the
- 47:34strongest, this is about instincts and using what's in
- 47:36his head. Daniel backs up and calls out
- 47:39number two. Chris runs forward and tries to
- 47:41attack, but Dimitri anticipates that, blocks it, and punches him
- 47:44in the chest to knock him back. He celebrates saying that he did
- 47:47it, but Daniel calls out number five was right in front of him
- 47:50and sidekicks him in the chest, knocking him down.
- 47:56As the students are picking up Demetri and celebrating with
- 47:58him, Daniel looks over at his phone and realizes he missed the
- 48:01missed calls like 78910. He tells everyone that it's all
- 48:07for today and walks out, headed to the car dealership.
- 48:10Of course he's already in trouble.
- 48:13Coyote Creek again. Miguel is waiting for by the
- 48:17tree for Hawk who is walking his way.
- 48:19Hawk says finally a weary opponent.
- 48:21Miguel confronts Hawk about trash with Miyakito and stealing
- 48:24the Medal of Honor. Hawk says they're the enemy, he
- 48:27had to put them in their place. He tells Miguel just because he
- 48:31had a thing for Sam doesn't mean he has to go soft.
- 48:37Miguel says it's not about her. Hawk pulls out the medal and
- 48:40tells Miguel if he wants it so bad, come and take it.
- 48:42They start to fight. Cobra Kai students convene at
- 48:45the location of the fight. Miguel showing why he's the
- 48:48Yellow Valley champion, takes down.
- 48:49Hawk takes the headband and the Medal of Honor from him and
- 48:53turns to look at the Cobra Kai student.
- 48:55He raises his fists in the air which has the red headband and
- 48:58Chris tells him to finish him. Miguel Roundhouse kicks Hawk in
- 49:01the face and knocks him out cold.
- 49:03Miguel tell Yep. Miguel yells team Black.
- 49:05Everyone celebrates with him. Chris tells Johnny that his
- 49:08champion has developed a real killer instinct.
- 49:13Just when we think the challenge is over, however, we see
- 49:16Stingray pop out of the leaves, grab a chokehold on Miguel from
- 49:20behind, and tells him that the best thing about Stingrays is
- 49:23that they lie and wait for the perfect opportunity to strike.
- 49:27He takes off. He takes off Miguel's headband
- 49:31and yells at the red team just won.
- 49:33Kris Merchant congratulates Stingrays and celebrates with
- 49:35the other students. Kris is proud of Stingrays.
- 49:42Oh. Meanwhile, Johnny tells Miguel
- 49:45that's not how he taught him to fight.
- 49:46Miguel tells Johnny that Crease taught him that this isn't a
- 49:49tournament, this is real life. Johnny asks Miguel if that's how
- 49:52he wants to live his life. Johnny walks away and gives
- 49:55Crease that look of disappointment.
- 49:58Doesn't matter, Crease is still proud of Stingray.
- 50:03I'm proud of Stingray. I'm.
- 50:05Proud of. Him.
- 50:06I'm Demetri. Did you notice the two
- 50:09underdogs? Did you notice that?
- 50:11So that Dimitri on Miyagido had his little moments of, you know,
- 50:20his little moment? It.
- 50:22Lasted like it lasted like a second, but it was awesome.
- 50:26And then we got good old Stingray, who had his moment as
- 50:30well. Little Stingray.
- 50:32The two that you would not think that, yeah.
- 50:37Here to four. You're too poor.
- 50:44You're too 4 Stingray. Oh boy.
- 50:53And then I'm naming the pack the of the episode.
- 50:55This was like here to your 4. You may now listen to the
- 50:59podcast. What I don't know I I'm confused
- 51:06henceforth. Do you think I was going to ask
- 51:13you before so do you think that do you think it is about Sam?
- 51:17Do you think Hawk is right and it's all about Sam or do you
- 51:21think it's because Miguel actually has a Sanchez farts
- 51:31whatnot? You know, however you want to
- 51:35say it, He he's a good kid and doesn't believe what you know
- 51:40Hawk did. Was it was honorable.
- 51:43Obviously it wasn't honorable. Or do you think it's about Sam?
- 51:47It was honorable of Miguel. It's like his honor.
- 51:51It's like he was season one. He was doing, he thought he was
- 51:57doing a good thing and then he fought Ravi and he heard him and
- 52:01all that stuff. Season 2, he's trying to, like,
- 52:03make amends. OK, I see that, I guess.
- 52:06Yeah. So you don't think it's nothing
- 52:08about Sam at all? Nothing about.
- 52:10He's trying to be OK. Nothing about Sam at all.
- 52:14He's just like he's. This is not the right thing to
- 52:18do. You do not go into another Dojo
- 52:21and break stuff. Disrespect.
- 52:24Disrespect it, and then you take someone's Medal of Honor when
- 52:27you didn't hear it. Yeah, that's low.
- 52:32Yeah, very well, very low. I don't think it had anything to
- 52:38do with Sam at all. Yeah, I I wasn't thinking.
- 52:42I Yeah. Like the fact that he hasn't
- 52:45thought about Sam the entire day.
- 52:47Then Hawk sings like. Oh, it's about Sam.
- 52:51It's about Sam, isn't it? It's like, no, it's about honor.
- 52:54Honor. God, next scene at the Laruzzo
- 53:00house. After a whole day of training
- 53:02and tension, Robbie finally kisses Sam.
- 53:06About time. About time and then such a short
- 53:11thing and like why was it necessary?
- 53:14I get it. Meanwhile, at the Yatta group,
- 53:19Daniel finally shows up to work and goes to Anusha's office.
- 53:22But about the foursome that he quit.
- 53:25Tom Cole offered him more money and he was going to give deliver
- 53:28the chance to match it, but Daniel bailed and so he put his
- 53:31numbness in. Daniel sings this is an easy
- 53:34fix, he will call Anusha to clear it up.
- 53:36But Amanda is also upset at Daniel, who promised he would be
- 53:38able to balance work and running a Dojo.
- 53:41Amanda revealed the truth behind.
- 53:42Ever since Miyagito opened, she's been waking up in the
- 53:46morning all alone all summer while he's off at the karate
- 53:49camp and she's been running the business by herself with no
- 53:52helpers like Anusha. And now she's not going to have
- 53:55any help. Daniel apologizes and says he's
- 53:57focusing on trying to give these kids a chance to defend
- 54:00themselves. Amanda tells him sometimes when
- 54:03he focuses on one thing, he loses focus on everything else
- 54:05that matters. She walks away from him and he
- 54:07stands there feeling distraught. Do you think Amanda's not being
- 54:12supportive enough, or do you think she's right?
- 54:16She's right. I mean like she did too.
- 54:18They took all their like half of their, their workers budget.
- 54:26Like I don't think we're going to make it to lead 3.
- 54:31The news is like the best, the best car salesman they had like
- 54:36one more like Nope, no more Kyle say no more car salesman.
- 54:42Like we don't even know if our news comes back in season three,
- 54:44does he? I forgot.
- 54:46I forgot. And then?
- 54:52They lost Louie, right? Louie.
- 54:54They lost Louie over budget cuts.
- 54:56I don't know. He's like beat up Johnny.
- 54:59Like, I don't think we see him again either, do we?
- 55:00Like, I forgot. Oh yeah, we do.
- 55:02Never mind, never mind. Yeah, we do.
- 55:04We do later on and freaking, I don't know where.
- 55:07So he probably went back to Jersey and Jersey, he's over
- 55:15there in Jersey, in New York, somewhere around there, and he's
- 55:20meeting up with this new kid, this new guy, like I think his
- 55:28name is Joshua Jackson. I don't know what Joshua
- 55:33Jackson's in the movie in The Karate Kid movie.
- 55:37What? Yes, Joshua Jackson's in The
- 55:40Karate Kid movie that's coming up.
- 55:42Are you kidding me? No, it's already.
- 55:45Joshua Jackson is in the new Karate Kid movie.
- 55:47Yes, ma'am. Oh so oh.
- 55:50You're not thinking. He's going to be a badass and
- 55:54like. Oh my God, I have to see it now.
- 55:58I have to see it like now. Yeah, it comes down.
- 56:04I love Joshua Jackson. I don't want to wait.
- 56:15Oh, that's good. Oh, if you know, you know.
- 56:28Oh, all right, Pacey at the Larissa home.
- 56:38At the Larissa home, Robbie's looking at all the pictures in
- 56:40the room when someone knocks on the door.
- 56:41Robbie checks in on Sam, who doesn't answer him, and he
- 56:45answers the door instead. And being face to face with
- 56:48Miguel, who tells him he doesn't want any problems.
- 56:50So he gives Robbie the Medal of Honor.
- 56:52Miguel tell them that they're not all assholes and hopes.
- 56:55He tells Sam he is sorry. Robbie takes the medal and
- 56:58closes the door on Miguel. Sam comes downstairs and Robbie
- 57:01doesn't mention that Miguel showed up so.
- 57:05He disappointed in Robbie there. Right.
- 57:09Like, you know, like what? Was what was the reason for
- 57:12that? Why couldn't he?
- 57:15Why couldn't be? Yeah, broke up practically his
- 57:19brother. She tells him she's had a bed to
- 57:28kiss and she goes back upstairs. I wouldn't have answered the
- 57:33door. I It's not my house.
- 57:36It's not his house. I know.
- 57:38Why'd you answer the door? What if it was a creepy old man
- 57:41and it's like, I'm not answering the door, it's not my house.
- 57:44Sam can't answer the door. Yeah, but it could have been
- 57:47like the pizza guy or something too.
- 57:48Pizza guy, true, but still it's like it's not his house, he's
- 57:51not going to answer the door like he the fact.
- 57:54That he had to tell Sam that the he did, he he told, he has said
- 57:59Sam, someone's at the door. It's not his fault.
- 58:01That shouldn't come down to answer the door.
- 58:05Why is she upstairs? Is she in the bathroom or isn't
- 58:08there like a bathroom on the upstairs also?
- 58:10Getting ready for bed but she she comes down and says I'm
- 58:14going to bed. Convenient that she comes down
- 58:17as soon as Miguel leaves. Who's the door?
- 58:20Oh, some guy who doesn't know where he.
- 58:22Was at wrong house. Yeah, like.
- 58:24Wrong house. It's.
- 58:25Weird. You think that's weird?
- 58:27Really. I mean, that's.
- 58:29That's what she said, she said. Oh, weird.
- 58:32Oh yeah, she just said that. Weird that you know this guy
- 58:35showed up at the wrong house. You know who also showed up at
- 58:38the wrong house late at night looking for Daniel?
- 58:43Does Daniel Lo Ruth live here? No.
- 58:45Oh, wrong house. Oh.
- 58:52My gosh. Wait until morning to stalk him.
- 58:59Stalk him all. Right at the Cobra Pie Dojo in
- 59:05the office, Johnny confirms Crease about what he's been
- 59:07putting in their heads while he was gone.
- 59:09Crease claims he's been teaching them the way of the first, same
- 59:12thing he taught him in 85. Strike first, strike hard, no
- 59:17mercy. Johnny claims that needs to
- 59:20change. What he taught back then didn't
- 59:22work, and it doesn't work now. He says Cobra Kai will always be
- 59:26better, and he insists that there is a difference between no
- 59:29mercy and no honor, and he knows which he wants his version of
- 59:32Cobra Kai to embody. Chris gets up and tells Johnny
- 59:36when he's in a war the other side doesn't fight with any
- 59:39honor because he knows he's been there and be glad that he
- 59:43doesn't know again the war, saying of course Creed's still
- 59:50in there. Johnny says he doesn't know what
- 59:56what the what are you talking about?
- 59:58He doesn't know what shit he went through back then.
- 1:00:01But these are good kids and they don't need to relieve relive
- 1:00:04those moment mistakes, Chris says.
- 1:00:08Chris says the only mistake is showing them weakness, like how
- 1:00:10he did when he backed down from the roof of Challenge I.
- 1:00:14Tony was going to do that. Like he sat there like, I want
- 1:00:18to see what you're going to do. And Johnny said no backing down.
- 1:00:22So that's when Chris says like, I got to take, you know, I got
- 1:00:26to take the reign. This soldier is weak.
- 1:00:30So like, I got to call rank. Is that what they say?
- 1:00:37I got to pull rank. I got to pull rank and like be
- 1:00:40above him and stuff. So he feels that Johnny is with
- 1:00:44weak and he needs to train these kids instead of Johnny.
- 1:00:51Johnny says he's responsible for these kids, but Chris says that
- 1:00:54he is responsible for Johnny and he is his student.
- 1:00:57He's still his student. He thinks Johnny is going to let
- 1:01:00his guard down and is going to make him vulnerable.
- 1:01:03Johnny says this is his Dojo and he makes the rules.
- 1:01:06Chris makes him remember who started Cobra Kai.
- 1:01:09Johnny apologizes thinking that this could work, but he was
- 1:01:12wrong and says they are done. He tells Crease he never wants
- 1:01:15to see him in the Dojo ever again.
- 1:01:17Johnny watches Crease leave the Dojo and the show ends so.
- 1:01:24Proud of Johnny, so proud. That is a proud moment for me.
- 1:01:30So Crease sees life as a war. There must be winners and losers
- 1:01:35in all things on his side as far as he's concerned, and must win
- 1:01:39always and at any cost. So no matter what the
- 1:01:45consequences, no matter if you're down, your team must
- 1:01:49bring you back up and your team must avenge you and you must win
- 1:01:56at any cost. Doesn't matter what happens.
- 1:01:59Sweep the lag, all that stuff. Put them in a body bag.
- 1:02:03Oh, you had to throw that in there.
- 1:02:05Put that too in His honor. Put them in a body bag at all at
- 1:02:12all times. Do it.
- 1:02:17All right, so that was the end of the episode.
- 1:02:19Badass moment. I'm going to give it to
- 1:02:22Stingray. Which part where he pops out of
- 1:02:28the leaves? Or.
- 1:02:32Or where he where he claims his you know that he's flipping the
- 1:02:37the script. All right, from here before here
- 1:02:41before the badass moment is going to be Stingray.
- 1:02:45Just just Stingray, just all together.
- 1:02:48Stingray. Stingray.
- 1:02:49Stingray. That's it.
- 1:02:49Stingray. Just.
- 1:02:50Stingray. Just Stingray.
- 1:02:53OK, so no, that's basically that whole thing.
- 1:03:00Hawk versus Miguel. Miguel kicking him, grabbing the
- 1:03:05Medal of Honor, Chris telling him finish him, finish him.
- 1:03:12Oh, I did not like that either. That.
- 1:03:17I'm like, what was this Mortal Kombat?
- 1:03:19What the hell he saw? Like, yes sensei.
- 1:03:23No, but he said the same exact thing at the All Valley.
- 1:03:28Finish him. Do it.
- 1:03:29Yeah, finish him. Miguel kicking Hawk thinking he
- 1:03:36won and Stingray waiting at the last minute.
- 1:03:40He probably like got some help from from Greece.
- 1:03:46Like you want me to do what now? OK here.
- 1:03:49I don't know what you're trying to do, man.
- 1:03:51And he had a little what, a little like air freeze right
- 1:03:54there. Like nobody knew where he was.
- 1:03:57All the students were like hanging out and stuff and at the
- 1:04:01at the finish line over there and nobody knew where he was.
- 1:04:05He was just chilling in his like little spot.
- 1:04:07And then he sees he know the last two people in there is Hawk
- 1:04:13and Miguel. Even if Hawk had one and
- 1:04:16Stingray would have came in there like from behind, like
- 1:04:18done that. But the fact that he did it,
- 1:04:21it's just like bad ass moment like you, you, you killed it.
- 1:04:26You flipped that script. You go here to four.
- 1:04:30Yes Sir. I love Stingray by the way.
- 1:04:45I think that's got to be your new nickname.
- 1:04:49Don't God know I'm I'm already getting called Ray over some
- 1:04:57miscommunication thing for some reason.
- 1:05:04Oscar, I got to work on that. I got to fix that.
- 1:05:09That's where it came from. That's why see, see, that is the
- 1:05:15that was a future prediction, that first Stingray there.
- 1:05:18You go there. You go, that's, that's her.
- 1:05:20I believe that. What was your best, baddest
- 1:05:24moment? Dimitri.
- 1:05:27Dimitri, OH. My God, yes, even though it was
- 1:05:30only lasted for like yeah, 30 seconds 30.
- 1:05:33Seconds of just Dmitri, 30 seconds of just Stingray.
- 1:05:36Both of them. So proud.
- 1:05:38I was proud. That was a proud moment.
- 1:05:41I was like, it's yeah, I was proud of him.
- 1:05:45Very proud. I was excited.
- 1:05:47And then he got kicked and that didn't, that went away.
- 1:05:51But he I was proud of him. He did awesome for you know that
- 1:05:55thirty 1020 seconds, whatever it was, Very proud moment.
- 1:06:00Very proud. Yay.
- 1:06:01Go Dimitri. I can't wait to see more Dimitri
- 1:06:08and what happens and how he develops.
- 1:06:12I want, I actually want to see him do the Krav Maga that he's
- 1:06:15that he does and real life. Like is he ever going to do the
- 1:06:20Krav Maga? So like not knowing that about
- 1:06:24season 3-4 and five because I totally forgot about them.
- 1:06:28Like I don't even remember season one and two, season 3.5
- 1:06:33Netflix stuff. Like whatever, I'll watch them
- 1:06:36again soon. What do we think of the episode?
- 1:06:45I I liked it because I really like I, I liked, you know, I
- 1:06:50don't, I'm not a fan of crease at all, but I really like the
- 1:06:55fact that, well, number one, that Miguel was showing, you
- 1:07:02know, honor and to do what's right for one.
- 1:07:08I like that. And they were kind of flipping
- 1:07:10it a little bit like Robbie was. I feel like the their roles are
- 1:07:16getting now reversed again. I feel like it's like throughout
- 1:07:20the whole season almost, but like their roles are reversed
- 1:07:24between Robbie and Miguel. Like one moment Robbie is the
- 1:07:29good guy and Miguel isn't, and then it switches, if that makes
- 1:07:34sense. Not saying Robbie's a bad guy in
- 1:07:37any way, OK? Not saying Robbie's a bad guy.
- 1:07:41I'm just saying like he has some bad choices.
- 1:07:48Same with Miguel, Like and I feel like they're flipping back
- 1:07:51and forth. But yeah, but I also, I also
- 1:07:56really like, I mean it, it's one of the better episodes.
- 1:08:03I think it's one of the better episodes.
- 1:08:05I really like, I love seeing Daniel's way of teaching in this
- 1:08:10too, like with the just the the way he does that with, you know,
- 1:08:14like he said, being hot or being cold, like there's no plan.
- 1:08:21Something could happen and you just got to you got to learn to
- 1:08:25adapt in the situation basically.
- 1:08:28So I like that as well. Yes, one of my type.
- 1:08:36Top five favorite episodes. Yeah, I guess you could say top
- 1:08:41five. The whole Coyote Creek fight in
- 1:08:46there takes it first introduction of not, well, not
- 1:08:54really. The introduction of Crease at
- 1:08:56Miyagito and him telling Daniel that their war is coming and
- 1:09:06actual literal in a figuratively sense, metaphorically, war is
- 1:09:11coming and he's not going to stop until Cobra Kai is winning
- 1:09:16and it's there. Daniels are like, they're kids,
- 1:09:21what are you talking about? And of course, what was it back
- 1:09:27then? Like kids would go to war.
- 1:09:33I mean, that's true. At what, 1718 years old like
- 1:09:39they would be drafted to war. So he's still like even that
- 1:09:42even this right now right there is like the fact that he's from
- 1:09:46back there and he's saying like, well, if they went to war at
- 1:09:51this age, back in my day, they can go to war here.
- 1:09:56And they're, yeah, they're kids, but they're soldiers.
- 1:09:59They're they're being taught in the ways of Cobra Kai.
- 1:10:02You know, they're being taught to strike first.
- 1:10:04They're being taught to shield no mercy.
- 1:10:07So I'm teaching him that. I'm teaching.
- 1:10:09I taught Johnny. Johnny's teaching him that.
- 1:10:11So he feels that. He thinks.
- 1:10:13He thinks that Johnny's going to do whatever he says.
- 1:10:17And he wants them to like, talk Aisha, Tori, Miguel.
- 1:10:22He wants them to like, get Johnny back on track and get him
- 1:10:28to be the commander, the captain of this.
- 1:10:32But then he saw that Johnny back down to Daniel like little
- 1:10:39Daniel really. So he's all like, all right,
- 1:10:42Well, then I have to take over. And so he did.
- 1:10:45He thought of this plan to get them in the woods, his exercise,
- 1:10:49his Lesson plan. He thought about doing that.
- 1:10:52He told Miguel finish him. He like congratulate Stingray.
- 1:10:57He probably told Stingray like, hey, go, you know, strike first,
- 1:11:03do this whole thing, say strike at the last minute.
- 1:11:08And then he tells Johnny like, no, I started Culver Kai, I did
- 1:11:16this and you know, you're making it weak, so let me take over.
- 1:11:22And he's trying to do that, but he Johnny's all like, no, fuck
- 1:11:27you, get up, get the fuck out of mine.
- 1:11:28I told you. And so Cree's leaves one of my
- 1:11:33top five because it's like Cree's is in there.
- 1:11:36Cree's is like in everybody's head right now.
- 1:11:38Cree's is in Daniel's head, in Johnny's head.
- 1:11:42And now Johnny and Daniel are like doing this whole thing
- 1:11:44where it's like Daniel's training them to do like, our
- 1:11:48these are kids. How is he going to go to war
- 1:11:50against these kids? Like, all right, you guys got to
- 1:11:52defend yourself. OK, I can't be me all the time,
- 1:11:55but you guys got to defend yourself.
