We are back again to my third place pod here on my Third Place
0:19
Network. Welcome back to the Dojo as we
0:22
continue to chop down season three of Kurobra Kai on Netflix.
0:28
See what it is there? Chop.
0:36
You really embrace 1 Dingray character.
0:39
I'm Brandy. Yeah, yeah, I'm a gaggy versus
0:49
fans, as always. As must be said on every
0:51
episode, because we're always critiquing the show.
0:54
We love Corporate Kai. We love The Karate Kid universe
0:58
but don't let us influence you on the show.
1:01
We're just fans of the show as there are millions of other fans
1:04
out there who have different opinions, ours included.
1:08
So if you heard of the breakdown episode of the past or if you're
1:11
new here, we are Massive Karate Kid and Corporate High fan.
1:14
So we decided we're going to re watch the shows on Netflix and
1:17
breakdown the episode seen by Steen and tell you what we
1:20
thought about them. You are more than welcome to
1:22
follow along and we watch the show for us as some of our
1:25
friends are doing and listen to podcasts as well.
1:27
There will be spoilers and at times we do tend to add in
1:30
trivia or ask a question for you to ponder over.
1:32
It's what we do here. If you want to go back and
1:34
listen to past episodes about Cobra Kai and what we thought
1:37
about them as you get to go back and listen to episode 154154 and
1:43
then continue on from there and let us know what you thought
1:46
about them. All right, Episode 2, Nature
1:50
versus nurture, directed by Hurwitz and Schlossberg.
1:53
I don't even need to say their names anymore.
1:55
It's like last names. Now we know who they are.
1:59
John Hurwitz, Joe Hayden, Hayden Schlossberg.
2:02
See, I'm I apologize already written by Joe Pyroulli and Luan
2:07
Thomas. Cypnosis, Daniel and Johnny team
2:11
up to find Robbie. Miguel face an uncertain
2:13
feature. Chris tries to bring Tori back
2:16
to corporate high. Oh, we are going back in time.
2:21
Cold open in 1965 in the San Fernando Valley.
2:26
David and James, along with David's girlfriend Betsy, exit a
2:31
car and go into a diner with Woolly Bully playing in the
2:35
background. Woolly Bully.
2:38
Woolly Bully that the words of the song is that it pretty much
2:44
OK. James is played by Ken Barefield
2:48
who is a stunt coordinator and stunt performer based out of
2:50
Atlanta, GA. He was part of the MTV reality
2:53
TV show 2A Days in the high school.
2:56
He has done stunts for the Magnificent 7 and Jungle Cruise.
3:00
Betsy is played by Emily Marie Palmer, Actress and singer
3:05
appears on two episodes of Kobra Kai.
3:07
So we will be seeing her again and she has appeared on 10
3:10
episodes of Mercy St. as Sister Isabella and finally the varsity
3:16
Captain David, played by Jessie Cove, the son of Martin Cove.
3:24
When he was only 10 years old, Jessie would create movies using
3:27
his father's video camera. He has recently Co starred
3:30
alongside Joseph Fiennes in the highly anticipated World War Two
3:33
drama On Wings of Eagle, the unofficial sequel to Share It Of
3:37
Fire. I hope we get David's facial
3:43
expressions just like his dad. No, no.
3:48
Who? OK who?
3:51
What character are you talking about?
3:53
Does he play? Varsity captain.
3:56
The one that comes out for his other car, David and his Betsy.
4:01
Betsy's boyfriend. OK, they come with a car that
4:05
looks exactly like the banana boat that Daniel has from his
4:08
70th birthday. They made a point to show the
4:11
plate number which was 260 V 5D. Of course I went back and
4:17
searched for Daniel's plate number in the episodes in season
4:20
2 where they go to the beach club and his is QA4590.
4:25
But the fact that this guy and Mr. Miyagi had the same type of
4:28
car in the 60s in the same vicinity, in the same town or
4:36
city, it's like, what? Wait a minute.
4:38
OK, what are we doing here? Everybody has the same car
4:43
array. Is the 60s OK?
4:50
OK, I don't know. Betsy's boyfriend bumps into a
4:54
busboy. A young John Crease played to
4:57
perfection from here on out and through Season 6 by Barrett
4:59
Carnahan, who has played Derek Turner in seven episodes of
5:03
Cruel Summer, Jake Reardon in 12 episodes of One of His Lying,
5:06
and Aiden in seven episodes of Alexa and Katie.
5:09
One of my favorite shows. Yeah.
5:14
Loved him in that. Show he he's in that.
5:17
All right, Yeah, I told I told you to watch that show.
5:24
OK. And you said, oh, he plays that.
5:30
That's who plays young crease. And I was like, what?
5:33
Do you not remember this conversation they had like, I
5:36
don't know, a year ago, maybe six months ago, a year ago, I
5:40
don't know. I don't know when we had it, but
5:42
we had this conversation. I believe you.
5:46
Yeah, I believe you. They bump into Crease without so
5:51
much of an apology. All three of them go to sit
5:53
down, and when she expresses pity for the opposing team,
5:56
David tells her that football players don't show each other
5:59
mercy. OK, I love that David says it,
6:04
but Crease overhears it. When Crease sets the table,
6:09
Bessie thanks him and he smiles. David called Crease a loser
6:13
after asking what he was looking at, and Crease apologizes before
6:16
leaving. James whispered to David that
6:18
Chris's mother committed suicide, to which he laughed and
6:21
calls him a freak. What?
6:23
What, Like that's not OK? So freaking 60s whatever, right?
6:29
Just because of that? That's so weird.
6:32
Betsy's uncomfortable. Yeah, it is.
6:34
Betsy's uncomfortable by this, but he tells her that if she
6:36
cares so much, you can start a circus.
6:38
Both David and James laugh until an army of officer approaches
6:42
their table and gives them a pamphlet to recruit them to join
6:45
the army. They tell the officer that
6:47
they'll consider it but when he leaves they laugh and Betsy's
6:51
boyfriend crumbles up the pamphlet into a ball before
6:54
throwing it onto the floor. Chris picks up the pamphlet and
6:59
crumbles it and is looking at it when his boss yells at him to
7:01
get back to work. He quickly goes back to work,
7:04
but as he passes the boys table carrying a tub of dirty dishes
7:06
and utensils, David trips him causing the entire diner to
7:10
laugh at him except Betsy. Yes, the 50s for cruel.
7:18
Jeez. And present day Chris gives a
7:22
speech to assemble the Cobra Kai students.
7:24
Life isn't fair. Sometimes the world can be cruel
7:28
and that's why you have to learn to be cruel yourself.
7:32
Weakness is unacceptable. The fight of the school was an
7:35
embarrassment. You lost soldiers and you lost
7:37
the battle, but you will not lose again.
7:41
Soldiers battle Diaz was one of our own.
7:44
What they did to him, they did to all of us and it will not go
7:48
unanswered. We will show no mercy, we will
7:51
show no weakness. We will strike back and we will
7:54
strike hard. Is that clear?
7:57
They all yell yes and say and the corporate Kai logo appears
8:00
on the screen again. War like he This isn't his
8:09
students anymore. This is his his platoon, his
8:14
army. His wife you cut out.
8:18
So he this isn't his his students anymore.
8:23
This is platoon, his army, his his soldiers.
8:27
Like he's you lost soldiers, you lost the battle.
8:30
You're not going to lose his war.
8:32
Like these are kids like Daniel and Johnny said last season,
8:36
like dude, calm down with the war stuff.
8:40
He's all like. What is your thought on that?
8:43
I don't think we've ever actually discussed that.
8:46
I, I what, what, what makes what do you think makes him act that
8:53
way? Like, why is why does he think
8:57
that? Like, I feel like it's a
8:59
chemical in his brain and he actually like it.
9:02
He actually it, it, he believes it.
9:06
He believes this, that there's a war.
9:09
And. Yeah.
9:12
He came back damaged, he never stopped fighting like we get to
9:16
find out later, but still like he he's in there, he's in.
9:20
He's in that young Creed's mind again.
9:25
I mean where everything to. Him is.
9:27
I guess we kind of do, but I don't know if they fully.
9:34
They don't. Yeah, they don't fully explain
9:38
it, so we kind of have to draw our own conclusions, I feel.
9:44
Yeah. Meanwhile, in the hospital,
9:50
Miguel is not awake and Carmen is giving him gifts from his
9:53
friends. She refers to Dimitri as the
9:55
pale friend who gifted him a comic book, The Pale 1.
10:03
She points at the basket who tells them it's from the
10:05
Larusso's. Miguel tries to talk to his mom
10:08
and wants to know where Johnny is.
10:09
Johnny is with Daniel as they are on a mission to look for
10:12
Robbie. They start the journey by going
10:15
to meet a mutual friend at Malibu Canyon Recovery, a rehab
10:18
facility where the staff think Johnny is checking in and he
10:21
tells them that I'm no quitter. Mutual.
10:26
Sorry, I'm not checking. I'm not.
10:29
I'm not quitting. She's honest.
10:34
Like, OK Sir, the mutual friend is Robbie's mother Shannon, who
10:37
seems to be doing a lot better, has some actual info regarding
10:41
her son. Tells him about Robbie's former
10:44
friends and associates, Trey and Cruz.
10:46
You know the one that looks like Chris Brown and Mustache Johnny
10:51
asked how they're supposed to find tweedle Dee and tweedle
10:53
dumb ass Daniel says he knows where you can find them.
10:56
Of course he does. I love how he Johnny like, walks
11:02
into the rehab center and so like, this is rehab.
11:07
What this is how Reba feels like OK.
11:12
And then he has a moment where it's like, I wish I could be
11:14
here. Like I'm no quitter.
11:17
Nah, I'm OK leave me alone. I don't want to be here, but I
11:21
do want to be here. Like y'all are getting pampered
11:27
and everything and yoga and like hey girls, we're not doing that,
11:33
OK? I love how it tells them to
11:37
focus. Focus.
11:39
It's like, what? Oh, OK, I'm no quitter, but I
11:43
wish I could be here with them. At the Cobra Kai Dojo, Kris
11:48
introduced the students to a mouse, which were names
11:50
Clarence. Crees insists to feed Clarence
11:53
to a snake. Bert is unable to go through
11:55
with it and Crees asks for another one, who agrees with
11:58
Bert to raise their hands. Crees then dismisses him and
12:01
kicks them off. The team Hawk looks at Bert, who
12:05
has one of his who's one of his best friends and always hangs it
12:08
out with him as fool, realizing now that he's no longer Cobra
12:11
Kai, he isn't going to hang out with him anymore.
12:14
Like the look on Hawk's face, like you're kicking my friends
12:18
out, man, what are you doing? Like we were, we thought we were
12:23
all in this together. Not anymore, buddy.
12:28
Crees smiles at the remaining students and then turns around
12:30
to drop the mouse in with a snake.
12:32
But you hear hiss and a squeak. Hawk later questions Crees about
12:36
his plan, wondering if now's the time to lose students.
12:40
But Crees assures them that they need to start in their core if
12:42
one of them wants to be the new champion in Miguel's Tapsons.
12:50
Who should be the champion in Miguel's absence?
12:54
Who do you think? Are you talking about in Miguel
13:02
and Robbie's absence? Oh, Robbie's well, covert Kai.
13:12
Oh, that's true. OK, yeah, Then Robbie's not OK
13:19
for going just Cobra Kai. Oh, Bert's no longer there, so I
13:23
can't pick him. I'm just kidding.
13:27
You ring up with Bert. Oh my, I love that.
13:31
Doesn't get any anything. No, I definitely would say Hawk.
13:37
Because Bert is on the first round every time I.
13:41
Like Bert? Yeah.
13:47
True. I would say Hawk.
13:50
Hawk All right, Corey, if he was still in there, But yeah.
13:58
Maybe. I see it.
13:59
Definitely. You know what?
14:02
Yeah. There's toss up between Hawk and
14:05
Tori. They're both.
14:07
They're both bad asses. But Tori's absent from the Dojo
14:14
is explained by her struggling to keep the lights on while
14:17
caring for her sick mother. Taking care of her brother.
14:21
I didn't know she had a brother I didn't know.
14:23
All the while trying not to get convicted from her apartment by
14:26
the landlord like what happened to her brother.
14:29
Or should I say I forgot? I forgot.
14:32
She had a. Brother, yeah, when we first or
14:34
when I first watched this and then going back and me watching
14:37
it I was like where is he? Like we're OK, Well, we won't
14:45
spoil, but yes, anyways, so. OK, yeah.
14:49
All the while trying not to give me get evicted from a partner by
14:53
the landlord Rodney, or receive an actual juvie sentence.
14:56
We don't get to see Tory's mom's face until season six.
15:00
But this is where the rumor I'm ready to started that maybe it
15:02
was Julie from The Next Karate Kid and how the producers were
15:06
trying to talk to Hilary Swank about returning for the role for
15:09
these episodes, but it ended up not being her.
15:14
No, she walks out of her apartment to throw the garbage
15:18
and run to her landlord Rodney, played by Grace and Berry, who
15:21
ironically showed up on line Order SVU the same year.
15:24
Season 3. You know he gives major
15:32
pedophile vibes. Creeps.
15:36
Creepy guy. You know Tori, he's creepy.
15:40
He tells her he heard about that catfight at school and if he had
15:44
an inflatable fool with mud in it, he could have sold tickets
15:46
with that boy that fought over. Could.
15:49
Have sat front and center. Yeah.
15:52
Tori asked not to talk about him, which Rodney gets more
15:54
creepy by telling her things would be easier for her if she
15:56
had a man instead of a boy and not worry about paying rent.
16:02
He's going all in on that huh? He tries to caress her hair but
16:06
she quickly grabs him by his wrist and defends herself real
16:08
quickly, saying she bet he wouldn't sound like a man if she
16:12
broke his wrist. I love that, good job.
16:16
He answers back with what would her probation officer would say.
16:20
She pushes him back and tells her to sing about what he said,
16:23
blackmailing her to seeing her tonight or getting that check on
16:25
the 1st of the month. He mimics a cat growling, laughs
16:29
and walks away, leaving Tori to kick a metal pipe by the wall of
16:32
the apartment. Yeah, don't like this guy at
16:37
all? Daniel and Johnny go to see
16:42
Robbie's former associates in prison, which they then slip
16:44
into the classic good cop bad cop routine that fits with their
16:48
odd Couple banter. Both Trey and Mustache listen to
16:52
Daniel, but not Johnny because Danny knows how to kick ass.
16:55
Not like Johnny who they call a punk ass bitch.
16:59
Johnny loves mustache. Johnny slaps mustache twice
17:03
while the security guard turns the other way.
17:06
Trey tries to defuse the situation by telling them where
17:08
they all used to spend time. Daniel tells them they better be
17:12
telling the truth or else he's sending Johnny to them alone
17:15
next time. You know, trying to, like, scare
17:18
them off. Back at the hospital, Miguel's
17:23
being fed by Carmen while a doctor checks up on him.
17:26
Miguel confirmed that he can feel his hands and Carmen makes
17:29
a small talk about what his grandmother is doing at home
17:31
while the doctor tests Miguel's leg and foot.
17:34
Miguel does not feel anything and confirms as such even when
17:37
the doctor presses a pen against the bottle of Miguel's feet.
17:40
The doctor then takes Carmen outside his room to talk.
17:43
The news doesn't look good as Miguel watches through the
17:45
window and sees his mom breakdown.
17:47
He is paralyzed from the waist down and we all get that moment
17:55
where they're like, oh shit, he's not going to walk again,
18:01
right? Yeah, I again, this is one where
18:07
I was like, what are they going to do?
18:09
What's going to happen? He's what are they going to make
18:13
him? Because he obviously won't be
18:15
playing karate anymore. Right.
18:18
Yeah. Playing Doing karate, Doing
18:21
karate, doing karate. Yeah, doing karate, practicing.
18:24
I'm playing it, doing it, practicing karate.
18:25
Yeah, something with karate. Karate OK?
18:35
In the car, Amanda calls Daniel and Johnny and is faintly
18:38
horrified when she hears what they've done.
18:40
Been up to Daniel tells her they have the lead on Robbie.
18:44
Amanda smirks and ask if there are if they're both Tango and
18:47
Cash now. Johnny corrects her by saying
18:49
Tango and Cash bring a cottage detective.
18:52
Totally different. Again, another 80s preference,
18:56
right? Tango and cash was 80s or is it
18:58
90s? 80s, like I don't remember right
19:01
now. I've never seen it.
19:03
I'm going to go watch it now. It's good before anybody's
19:06
mentions anything. Oh, tango and cash, Yeah.
19:10
Amanda apologized. Doesn't really care.
19:13
He's like oh I'm sorry. After relating to her that
19:18
Johnny and Daniel went to prison, she tells the both of
19:20
them to be careful. After the call Daniel was the
19:23
poison of Johnny for revealing the prison part.
19:25
Johnny says he's not lying to Daniel's wife for him.
19:31
Jesus do anything I want buddy. Next scene, Tori's counting the
19:37
money to get ready to pay for a rent, but it started by a knock
19:40
on the door. Kree speaks to Tori at her
19:42
apartment, blames herself for what happened to Miguel.
19:45
She doesn't want to go to Juby. Kree insists that he will pay
19:48
for her rent as he too had similar complications as his
19:51
mother was ill as well, but with a different kind of sickness
19:55
from which she unfortunately did not recover from depression.
20:01
That's what I'm thinking. That's what I was thinking,
20:04
Something mental health related, yeah.
20:08
And. What creases, what is what is he
20:13
doing? What is his motive is what I
20:15
want to know. Why is he offering to help and
20:17
offering to pay? It can't just be because she's
20:20
good at karate. Like what is his motivation
20:22
there? He's down a few people like
20:26
Cockery spoke to him like what are you doing?
20:28
You're kicking people out. So he is going for what he did
20:33
to Johnny back in the 80s and trying to like work the angle
20:38
where like, I understand your mom is sick.
20:42
I can help you. My mom, you know, had a similar
20:46
situation, you know, trying to like trauma, trauma bond with
20:52
them. So like, I feel like he's trying
20:55
to trauma bond with Tori here. And like, you know, I'll help
21:01
you out and do all this stuff for you as long as you don't
21:04
quit because I really need you. I really need you to be on the
21:08
team. I really need you to be my
21:11
quarterback for now while Miguel is in the hospital.
21:15
I was kind of thinking they were going to say be part of his
21:17
army. That too, you know, like because
21:24
he Hawk can take him there, but Hawk has a serious anger issue.
21:32
Are you OK? Tori does as Tory is broken and
21:37
she can work through it like he feels like he can help her anger
21:43
while Hawk is like he needs more time.
21:47
I feel Hawk has a right to be angry though.
21:55
Who's bullied? Yeah.
21:57
He's got, he's got trying. He's got his own demons.
22:02
That's true, he gets bullied while Tori is already knows
22:06
martial arts. It's just like she needs to,
22:08
like she needs it so he's trying to help.
22:14
Tori's a little skeptical about it because she keeps looking at
22:17
the landlord and asks that she does not need help and tells
22:20
Greece to not worry about her situation.
22:23
Oh, but Crease will worry about her situation.
22:27
Back in 1965, Crees was taking out the trash and then overhears
22:30
Betsy having complications with David.
22:33
Crees sees David slap her for smiling at someone and if he
22:36
needs to save her. David tells Crees to stay away
22:39
from his business and calls him a freak.
22:41
Crees fights both David and James, already having experience
22:44
with fighting and saying he's been fighting his whole life.
22:47
He sure ain't scared of him. He knocks both of them out and
22:50
his own spaghetti elite is trying to stand up, right?
22:54
Betsy asked if he's OK and Crease says he's had worse, but
22:57
ask her if she needs a lift. Take your shot, man.
23:04
You're, you already beat up the bully.
23:06
You might as well take your shot there.
23:07
Like, hey, you want to go out sometime?
23:09
I'm sure why not? Young crease, yes.
23:14
Old crease no. I like young crease, but then
23:17
again, that's probably because I also like the actor who plays
23:19
young Crease. OK there you go.
23:24
At a gas station Daniel gets a text and shows Johnny is good
23:26
news that Miguel has woken up. They then see the stolen Dodge
23:29
Caravan show up and they chase it to the sound of Kick Start My
23:32
Heart by Mötley Crüe running through red lights and breaking
23:37
every speed limit 80s band. It eventually ends into an on
23:43
foot pursuit into a garage where they get into a fight with a
23:46
different guy and his friends. Both Daniel and Johnny make a
23:49
great tag team with Johnny going low and sweeping the leg and
23:52
Daniel going high and Roundhouse kicking the face of the owner of
23:55
the garage. Daniel and Johnny get into it
23:58
also. Daniel says he regrets calling
24:00
him for help and can't believe Johnny actually taught kids.
24:03
Johnny goes deep and calls him some great teacher, but look
24:06
what happened to Robbie. Daniel says he's willing to
24:09
admit that he failed Robbie, but maybe because he had a little
24:11
Johnny in him. They end up.
24:14
Right. They end up going different
24:16
paths with Daniel getting a call and telling the caller that he
24:19
would be on his way. I love that fight that they did.
24:24
Like. With her, you know, like doing
24:26
their own karate, Daniel getting the whole defense, Johnny doing
24:32
the whole offense and then hitting that one guy, Johnny
24:39
going low like he usually does and Daniel taking a High Road
24:43
like he usually does and knocking that guy out.
24:49
So it's like, oh, I I love that interaction.
24:53
I love that tag team also where just like, all right, I'll help
24:56
you. But there's one guy like they're
24:59
doing at the same time round Hell's kicking a sweep kick and
25:04
it was the best thing ever. That was my favorite moment
25:06
right there. I think my mine was like right
25:10
before that. Well, mine was when it started
25:12
when he jumped, when when Johnny jumped in the car and the driver
25:16
said that he was driving. And it started from there with
25:18
that song, Perfect song, 80s song, Kick Start My Heart and
25:22
then The Pursuit. And then right before or in the
25:26
garage or when they were in the garage and Johnny, I don't know
25:31
if you noticed, but Johnny pushes Daniel out of the way
25:35
when he started to fight. He's like whatever he says, he
25:39
says something or not and then gives him a push out of the way
25:42
and just starts fighting. And I just freaking.
25:44
I thought that was great. OK, well I love that too.
25:49
It was awesome. Crees approaches Rodney, who
25:53
believed that Crees was another man she owed money to.
25:56
Crees only claims to be a neutral party looking out for
25:59
Tory's best interest, to which Rodney responds that either
26:01
Crees pays Tory's rent or for her, or she can do something
26:04
else to get on Rodney's good side.
26:08
Crees responds by threatening to chop off Rodney's right hand
26:11
index finger with a cigar cutter where the landlord dropped all
26:15
of his bravado and begs to be spared.
26:17
I have a fucking noise that he did like what the hell was that?
26:25
What the heck? I'm like really, really Mr. High
26:32
and mighty over there trying to fucking flirt with the fucking
26:35
young girl. And then he's all Oh my God.
26:45
And I love that. I love this part where it crease
26:48
in. I'm just like, I hate pedals.
26:51
I'm a fucking cut your finger off.
26:54
So just like, all right, you're starting to redeem yourself.
26:58
But and then like right before he does it too and like, it's
27:04
like, all right, fine, I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it.
27:07
The scene instantly cuts to Miguel cutting a piece of
27:09
sausage. Oh my God, they didn't do it.
27:15
Was still as funny as hell. The scene is yeah.
27:21
It cuts to Miguel cutting a piece of sausage at the hospital
27:24
like chick and the way he just like eats it and just like it
27:28
looks up implying that Chris took the deal that wasn't in
27:35
favor and leaving the landlord with his finger on his hand.
27:38
So he like all right, fine. Johnny goes to the hospital and
27:41
sneak in to see Miguel, who were reals to Johnny that the doctor
27:44
says he might never walk again. Johnny sings who?
27:48
Who is he to tell you that? Like a doctor?
27:51
Fucking asshole. What do you mean like he don't
27:56
know? Like yes he does what?
27:59
Maybe he doesn't like doctors for some reason.
28:01
No, Miguel asked Johnny what he did wrong as he showed mercy and
28:06
was rewarded with a broken spine.
28:08
When Johnny is unable to console Miguel or give him an answer,
28:11
Miguel, feeling betrayed, tearfully tells Johnny to get
28:14
out and Johnny leave, leaving Miguel alone.
28:17
It's over dramatic on this episode.
28:22
But there need to be get. Out, get out.
28:27
Stop. Don't cut my finger around.
28:31
Oh. My God.
28:37
OK, well, that part was just whatever, but I'm talking about
28:40
your Miguel. Your mom committed suicide?
28:44
What a freak. Come on.
28:46
Really. OK, yeah, the sex show is kind
28:48
of dramatic, so. Way too much but.
28:54
We love this show. We like, we do, we do.
28:58
We just love making fun of it. And yeah, anyway.
29:05
Daniel arrived at the rehab clinic, where Robbie is eating a
29:08
meal with Shannon. Daniel attempts to convince
29:11
Robbie to turn himself in to the police, but just as Robbie
29:14
considers Daniel's offer, the police arrive into the scene,
29:18
betrayed and upset. Robbie attempts to flee, but the
29:20
cop catches him before he can get too far.
29:23
Daniel attempts to get through to Robbie, promising to do
29:26
anything to help him along with visiting him, but Robbie tells
29:29
Daniel not to try. This is what I mean.
29:32
The whole whoever wrote this on fandom, great job, but the last
29:38
episode where you decided to put Danny instead of Daniel the
29:42
entire time and then this one Daniel, like what?
29:46
Come on, you did an amazing job, but still you have to I'm sorry.
29:55
And there you go. I'm sorry.
30:02
Please continue to do the work for season six when we get
30:05
there, please, because I don't want to, like, do what I did
30:11
with GLOW. And anyway, both kids are mad at
30:18
their son's age when they're trying to be parents.
30:22
Johnny's all like, I'm sorry, man.
30:24
I told you to be be mercy, be have mercy and all this stuff.
30:27
Yeah, but still, I didn't mean to like and he didn't know that
30:34
it was his son that was going to be like oh fuck you kicked to
30:38
the fucking chest, jumps over the railing.
30:45
There is no way that that would have happened in real life.
30:48
Come on. Unless unless Miguel jumped up,
30:55
but still I digress. Even Robbie and Daniel Daniel
31:03
Robbie feels betrayed that Daniel called the cops on him.
31:06
Yes, yeah, both of them. I just, I don't know, this
31:10
episode kind of just broke my heart with that stuff with the
31:12
with with Johnny and Daniel and the guilt and then more guilt
31:17
and then them making them feel like crap and yeah.
31:22
We are in an episode where Crease is a fucking good person
31:26
here. What?
31:28
Yeah. What's happening?
31:29
I don't. I have no idea what is.
31:30
Happening in this episode. It's like an what is it
31:40
something universe? Oh wait, what?
31:42
Alternate universe redemption episode though.
31:45
Oh, I guess. But no, I was thinking like,
31:47
that's not the word. I was thinking alternate
31:50
universe. That's what I was thinking.
31:52
Alternate universe episode. What has happened next?
31:58
Lean is at the Cobra Kai Dojo. Creed is telling us students
32:01
that they are only as strong as their wiki links.
32:03
When they remove those links, this is what they have left.
32:06
Eleven students, he continues and says that they are one unit
32:09
with one united purpose. Toria arrived at the Cobra Kai
32:13
Dojo, resuming her karate training now that her issue is
32:17
worked out. Creases, please begins drills
32:21
starting with the forward strike back.
32:23
She basically owes him her life. The final flashback is Crease
32:32
kissing Betsy goodbye before he boards the military bus.
32:36
Betsy tells him that she doesn't know if she can handle this with
32:39
him, assuring her that it's just basic training, to which she
32:42
promises that she'll be waiting for him.
32:45
She asked him to promise that he'll come back, and he promises
32:47
to not only come back, but to come back as a hero.
32:52
OK. And that's the last time we see
32:55
her as well. Oh no, she's another episode.
32:59
There's. Two episodes of her.
33:01
What is there? Yeah, or to IMDb.
33:05
She has two episodes. I don't remember, but I'll watch
33:09
that and I'll find out. And present day, Chris tells his
33:14
students that their whole life they're told to be good, and
33:16
that good is only a matter of perspective.
33:19
He also tells them that they need to always remember that
33:22
their enemies think what they're doing is right, that their
33:25
enemies think of themselves as the heroes and his students as
33:29
the villains. He then states that they now
33:31
know the truth in that there's no good or bad, there's only
33:34
weak or strong, and tells them that they have now shed their
33:38
weakness and it is time to show their strength.
33:42
If they do that, he promises that he will make them
33:44
unstoppable and stares right into the camera before the show
33:48
ends the credit. Yeah, yeah.
33:56
So basically John Robbie hates Daniel, Miguel hates Johnny.
34:03
Tori sings creases her dad now holds her his life and now.
34:13
And now I now I know why she went.
34:15
She didn't that in season 6. Yeah, I know.
34:21
But still like it's been 2 weeks, come on.
34:25
Come on, it doesn't matter. Maybe some, maybe there's one
34:30
person up that hasn't seen it yet.
34:33
You never know all. Right, fine.
34:39
But I didn't even think about that either.
34:42
See, I didn't even think about that.
34:43
What you just said. That makes sense.
34:45
Yeah, that makes sense. It makes sense.
34:47
It makes sense. No, I mean part of it.
34:49
Part of it, yeah. Part of it maybe we know the
34:51
other reason why she was all yeah, but yeah.
34:55
But the other part, like every well, we'll talk about it on
34:59
some other time because people are stating theories and I'm
35:04
like, shut up, like let enjoy the show and just shut up.
35:08
But no, people are like stating theories.
35:10
And when we get there, like in a few weeks maybe.
35:15
Shouldn't you mentioned earlier about Hilary Swank, Julie and
35:25
that we thought or was it was a it was a whatever a theory or
35:29
whatever that she was going to be Tori's mom, play Tori's mom,
35:35
which we found out she didn't. But also there's apparently
35:40
Easter eggs of her making a cameo still.
35:44
So first season 6, yes. Jeez, like.
35:48
Oh, you didn't see that? No, at this point I really don't
35:52
care anymore. I actually.
35:55
I'm interested. I like, I would like to know if
35:57
that's true, if that's going to happen.
35:59
But yeah, there's a whole article on it.
36:02
OK. I'll have to look like I have to
36:04
look into the ARCO, but at this point I'm just like you've had
36:10
yeah, I'm over it. So you've had some season 2,
36:12
you've been telling us about the Miyagi verse and Julie was a
36:15
part of Miyagi verse Next Karate Kid, but yet you have yet to
36:20
show her. So now like you're going to do a
36:24
last minute thing and just show her in the last episode of
36:27
season? Six give away too much, but just
36:29
just remember the box. That's all I'm going to say.
36:34
Oh. That's all I'll say.
36:38
Again, spoilers, but yeah. He must have.
36:41
OK, so goodbye. Mr. Miyagi Easter egg, Yeah.
36:49
Michael Ironsize Like, don't trust this man.
36:56
I mean, I don't know if it's going to happen, but yeah, there
36:58
is an article so. Yeah, OK.
37:00
It'll be interesting. But yeah, that's, that's what
37:03
they were hinting at or saying. The that was given away.
37:06
That was the the hint given away was the box and the yeah, the
37:10
secret. So, yeah, yeah.
37:13
The secret badass moment. Well, obviously the the fight in
37:23
the garage, yes. And the car, the pursuit, that
37:29
that was my favorite badass moment.
37:31
So yeah, for sure right there. Yeah, the, the, you know, that
37:40
part where like one of them came in the face, the other one sweep
37:43
the leg like it's a, it's a great tag team moment right
37:47
there. And I was like, can you please
37:50
do more of this? Yeah, so.
37:52
You do the tag team moment where one of them sweeps the leg, the
37:57
other one Roundhouse kicked, or do some other type of tag team
38:01
moments there. I know I do like their tag team.
38:04
I love their tag team moments. Not with them too, but
38:08
specifically, but with others, they do it the very like later
38:11
on the season. Like I was like, oh shit, that's
38:14
that's pretty great right there and hopefully is.
38:18
And like I think it's the season or next season, I don't
38:21
remember, but like hopefully, like we get one of those in this
38:25
season. But this is a badass moment
38:27
right here. See the episode 2 what you think
38:34
of it like. Definitely better than episode
38:37
one, yeah. For sure, yeah.
38:43
With not remembering exactly the rest of all of it, 'cause, you
38:48
know, no, I have a bad memory. I'm going to have to probably
38:52
say I feel like I think I feel like this episode is probably in
38:56
my top five favorites for I know we're early on, it's only one
39:01
and two, so I'm just taking a guess, but I'm pretty sure it's
39:07
probably in my top five. OK, already discussing top five
39:13
moments on the 10 episode and episode 2.
39:18
All right. I don't remember any of the
39:21
episodes, so I'm not. Going to, that's what I'm
39:24
saying. I don't remember, but I'm just
39:25
going to say I think this probably was there.
39:29
Like and yes, I didn't, I didn't do the the whole binge watching
39:34
thing for season before season six.
39:36
I only like saw the episode of season 5, the last episode, that
39:40
was it. And then I came into season six
39:42
and I was like, oh, OK, so now. I had to watch.
39:46
I did. I watched it all.
39:47
And yeah, especially you have to watch all of season.
39:51
I feel like you have to watch Season 5 before you get into
39:53
Season 6. So yeah, be coming into like
39:58
season three and then four and then five, I'm just going to be
40:00
like clear headed, like don't remember anything.
40:05
So this will be my first reaction from the second
40:08
reaction. Like a first reaction was like,
40:10
Oh my God. Yeah.
40:11
And then for second reaction was like oh OK, now I remember.
40:15
Yeah, Oh, oh, this happened. That's exactly my reaction.
40:19
What it was when I was watching it.
40:21
What was it last week, Two weeks ago when I re watched and I was
40:26
like, oh I forgot about this. Oh yeah, this happened.
40:29
That's exactly how I was. Right.
40:34
OK, Badass moments. Final thoughts.
40:38
We did all that. We we we killed it.
40:41
We did. See episode 2 of season three.
40:45
We're done. We're done.
40:46
