Hello there, need some self healing love crystals.
0:04
Just collect love to meditate well.
0:08
Free gifts with every order in my shop.
0:11
My Etsy link is listed in my bio.
0:14
Are you going to actually try it when you record this is going to
0:19
be in it. What we're we're we're fighting
0:21
right now about a grilled cheese and you're going to wow, sure.
0:34
OK, so couple weeks ago go. Ahead.
0:42
Go ahead. Me.
0:44
Chewy Yeah, go ahead and explain what we did a couple of weeks
0:47
ago. A.
0:47
Couple weeks ago we asked you guys to drop.
0:52
Weird but good food combinations to try that you wanted us to try
0:59
eventually, he's trying one. Right now he's trying out
1:05
grilled cheese with mayonnaise instead of butter or margarine,
1:10
making of the grilled cheese, which is something that my
1:14
bestie Laura Field dropped in the comments for us to try.
1:17
He said that's one of his things that taste good.
1:22
Even though it sounds weird, it tastes really good.
1:24
So how does it taste? Are you still chewing?
1:30
Tastes good so far. I mean, like when I was grilling
1:34
it, I was like, I saw it like, oh, I see now.
1:36
Way like, all right, So the mayonnaise takes over the part
1:40
of the butter, whatever, you know, put on there, it's good.
1:44
It tastes good. It just tastes like, you know,
1:47
grilled cheese. Tastes like grilled cheese.
1:49
I think it cooks better in my opinion because I also I also
1:55
tried it today for the first time for for lunch.
1:58
I made a grilled cheese and I used mayonnaise instead of
2:01
butter. I added Pickles and bacon on
2:04
mine. I don't know if anyone's ever
2:05
done that, but it was good. It definitely I feel like it
2:09
cooks better, Browns better maybe, yes.
2:18
So thanks Laura Field for that suggestion.
2:23
Thumbs up. We have more that we're going to
2:27
be trying. There was actually a lot of a
2:29
lot of comments, I think a lot of interesting weird
2:32
combinations, weird food combinations.
2:34
So I know we'll be we'll be continuing to try those in in
2:38
future episodes all. Right.
2:46
Washing it downwards a lot. Oh, man.
2:48
OK, let me put this away. So what do you think?
2:56
What do you think of? It sandwich.
2:59
It is something you would try again.
3:01
Yeah, absolutely. And you know, I think there's we
3:06
all have condiments in our fridge or like certain food
3:09
staples that we always have in our pantry or refrigerator.
3:15
And sometimes we run out of them.
3:17
Like say you don't have butter or margarine to make a grilled
3:20
cheese, but you might have mayonnaise.
3:22
So there's a good backup too. So if you don't have it, you can
3:25
always use mayonnaise. Again, and like you said, add
3:31
vegan and pickled. I, I didn't have time for that.
3:36
Like I decided to make this right before we started the
3:38
podcast, so OK. Yeah, so next time you need to
3:42
try that if you've never done bacon or bacon and Pickles.
3:47
Very good on grilled cheese. I guess that's my Maybe that's
3:50
one of my weird food combinations are.
3:53
We going to rate this, should we rate it?
3:56
The grilled cheese. Yeah.
3:58
I mean, I'm sure mine was better than yours because yours didn't
4:00
have any bacon or Pickles on it, all right?
4:02
Fine, yours is the perfect 10. I'm pitting.
4:06
I'm joking. Yeah, since mine was missing
4:09
some of that flavor from Flavortown, I'm going to say 9
4:13
out of 10. OK, what kind of cheese did you
4:16
use? Just American cheese.
4:18
Singles American. Yeah.
4:24
OK, Yeah. Yeah, I usually use American
4:29
cheese, but I've also done it with other like, oh gosh,
4:34
cheddar and Swiss I think was a good combination.
4:36
Like if you use different cheeses it's it's really good
4:38
too. Yeah, maybe with look, I don't
4:45
know, provolone. I'm gonna try some provolone.
4:46
On that provolone, yeah. I like Provo.
4:48

7:58
Dawn and if you've ever watched ATV show and thought to
8:00
yourself, Oh my God, that season finale plotos was absolutely
8:03
bonkers or seen a movie and thought, wow, I need to talk to

8:32
Hey, it's Ivo. We're going to get back to the
8:34
episode you're listening to, but first let me tell you about Dark
8:37
Freak creations. Dark Freak creations are candles
8:41
that are vibrant, colorful marble tops, amazing mouth
8:46
watering fragrances fueled by lovely braided cotton wigs,
8:50
paper threads woven into every cosmic for a clean, romantic,
8:54
slow and consistent burn. Each candle's unique from the
8:59
next as they are hand mixed and hand poured right in Grass
9:02
Valley, CA. They use only coconut and soy
9:06
waxes for a safer, cleaner and longer burn time.
9:11
That's almost 72 hours. That's like binging on all 130
9:14
episodes of the podcast. All fragrance blends have been
9:18
heavily researched. Dark Recreations not only care
9:20
about the look, fragrance and quality of their candles and
9:23
their other products, but also the effects they have in their
9:26
customers homes. So go to darkrecreations.com.

14:18
Where? Where are we?
14:20
Season three, episode 4 called The Right Path.
14:23
Let's start with the synopsis first.
14:25
His trip to Japan. Daniel pays a visit to Tommy and
14:29
meets an old friend who has letters from Miyagi.
14:32
Kris teaches his students a lesson and then has a heart to
14:34
heart with Johnny. Heart to heart.
14:37
The two groups of. Students, they cut their robbery
14:40
on the school soccer field, right?
14:41
Yeah. That's very heart to heart like
14:46
I'm sure. I didn't know he had a heart.
14:50
Burn talent play by Michael Jonathan Smith, who's also the
14:55
creator of the TV series Twitch and Metal on Peacock.
14:59
It was directed by Lynn Oding, American director and veteran
15:01
stud coordinator. Lynn got his early break working
15:04
with Chuck Norris on the television series Walker Texas
15:07
Ranger. Wow.
15:10
That's two facts about Walker Texas Ranger that I've done on
15:14
this episode, this show. Weird, really.
15:20
I don't know why I brought this up.
15:22
I just thought, you know, it'd be funny to mention that I heard
15:26
there was a Walker, Texas Ranger podcast that was coming out a
15:31
few years ago, a year ago or something like that.
15:33
Never happened. Yeah.
15:36
I wonder where that guy went. Anyways, last episode we left
15:42
off with Daniel having that point A to B store line where he
15:46
was fending off Tom Call, rival car salesman.
15:48
Why don't you buy the property since he sings.
15:50
Daniel is going under. Instead, Daniel gets Intel that
15:54
the Yona, the company that supplies the cars, is doing
15:57
business with Tom now. So they ended with Daniel
16:00
traveling to Japan to meet with the board.
16:05
And that's not only the thing he meets that the Yona's not the
16:09
only the only place where he meets up with people.
16:14
So, yeah, called open in Japan, where a table full of suits are
16:18
celebrating yelling kun pie. We did Japanese for cheers.
16:23
Off in his own words of this proud Daniel, who seems to be
16:26
drinking his own sake or maybe liquor or on his own, I don't
16:31
know, water, probably. They flashed back two hours
16:34
earlier, with Daniel's trying to convince the board to reach an
16:37
inclusive partnership with him. Jiru Tanaka, chairman of the
16:40
Budoyana Board, played by Soji Arai, who's also been on
16:44
episodes of Tokyo Vice and Fun Fact, Co, starred alongside
16:48
legendary actress Brittany Murphy in 2008.
16:51
The Ramen Girl. So he's that old?
16:57
He's that old. But he looks young here, like he
17:00
looks like a fucking chairman and everything.
17:03
And like, he's like young chairman.
17:05
I'm like, oh shit, he's Brittany Murphy.
17:08
Like that was years. That was 14 years ago that she
17:13
passed. Wow.
17:16
Mr. Tanaka tells Daniel that unfortunately they already made
17:18
a decision and it's not about sales but avoiding APR nightmare
17:22
with the whole high school karate war thing.
17:25
Mr. Tanaka thanks him for coming all this way, but he wheels are
17:29
already in motion. The flashback ends and Daniel is
17:33
still drinking at the bar feeling disappointed, but he's
17:35
determined to find a way to make them agree despite not having a
17:40
plan in place. A kind Japanese bartender named
17:43
Kenji, played by Michael Sasaki, checks in on Daniel who is going
17:47
through his phone, swiping away, checking out all the other
17:50
photos that he took with Mr. Miyagi Jengi.
17:54
Kenji asked if that is a friend of his.
17:57
Daniel tells him that it's the best friend he ever had and
18:00
wishes he was visiting him, but he's no longer with us.
18:03
Kenji says that is very American way.
18:06
I was thinking explaining how the Japanese believe that you
18:09
can always see someone after even after they're gone.
18:12
I love that, by the way. I could never thought a
18:16
bartender could have such a a deep quote like that.
18:21
Let's put it that way. Really.
18:24
Yeah. I mean, not like that.
18:28
That's like. Yeah, I just feel like
18:31
bartenders are they're. Good listeners.
18:34
But good listeners, but also also good therapist if we don't
18:39
have the money for it. Like I, I like, I would like
18:44
when I was bartending at the casino, I would always have to
18:47
like sit there and like listen to people's problems or listen
18:50
to people's events and everything.
18:53
Did you give advice of? Course, I was like, you know
18:57
what, you should do this and this and this and this, but not
18:59
like, you know, American way of thinking.
19:03
Japanese believe that we can always see someone even after
19:06
they're gone. More like this is just me what I
19:10
would do blah blah blah blah and do it instead.
19:13
Like the same with other bartenders too.
19:15
Like if they're like they love their job and they love their
19:17
customers, they would always give out that advice.
19:21
If you're just there for the fucking money, you're just there
19:25
for the money and don't give a fuck about whatever other people
19:28
have to tell you. That's but if you like, you
19:30
really, really love your job and you really love your customers
19:32
and you know them so well that you like do anything for them or
19:37
like, hey, I know your name, like cheers, you know, cheers.
19:41
Yes. Like everybody knows your name.
19:43
Like the bartender knows your name.
19:45
Like, they sit there, they tell you their stuff, like, Oh, well,
19:48
you know, my advice is this blah, blah, blah, blah.
19:52
And like, that's how I always see bartenders ask, like, only
19:56
if they're like, they love their job and they know their people.
19:58
But those that are there for the money and the shift is like,
20:02
just here for the money, man. You know, peace out.
20:05
Yeah. Like, I Kenji seems to be like
20:07
one of them where he's just, like, been there for, like, an
20:09
entire time. He looks over at Daniels, like
20:13
swiping away and, like, hitting on one particular photo.
20:16
He's like, oh, a friend of yours.
20:19
Yeah, like, well, you know, you're American is here to see
20:22
his friend. Oh, good.
20:24
Shit. Let me give you some advice.
20:27
Japanese people, we believe that someone's never gone.
20:31
You know, they're always there with us.
20:33
And. And as he walks away, we see the
20:37
ad for Mr. Miyagi's homeland, Okinawa.
20:39
So Danielle is all like, oh, Okinawa.
20:42
Big fucking letters and words. Like oh shit, I must go to
20:46
Okinawa. Nobody told you to go to
20:48
Okinawa, dude. You just heard the word Okinawa.
20:51
Let's go to Okinawa. When you're there, I mean, come
20:54
on, we knew it was you're. There.
20:57
Yeah, we knew it was going to happen.
20:59
The the Korverkai logo appears between two islands.
21:02
I love that. But the fact that Daniel's all
21:06
like, oh, moment of inspiration. I should go to Okinawa.
21:12
This dude like leaves Japan or wherever he was at, it was like,
21:18
OK, I'm done with this place, the business place.
21:20
Let's meet. Let me go celebrate.
21:21
Let me go like meet up with some people.
21:25
And that's what he did. And I love that he did that.
21:27
Like the guys telling him, you know, like, chill, people are
21:33
here, have fun, enjoy that. That's a cool friend you have
21:38
there. That's he's like he said that
21:40
was his best friend of all time. But all right, awesome.
21:43
You know, he's still probably around.
21:45
You know, not he's not all dead, but you know, he's still
21:49
probably around. And then he walks away and like
21:51
Okinawa. Come to Okinawa.
21:53
The bartender did set it up for later in the episode.
21:56
You know the yeah, they speak to us even when they are gone.
22:01
I was like, something's going to happen.
22:03
What's going to happen? We're going to Okinawa.
22:07
We're going to Karate Kid 2. Did you happen to watch Karate
22:11
Kid 2? No.
22:12
I didn't either. Yeah, we we need to do that.
22:16
We like I was going to this weekend and I didn't.
22:21
It's like calling an old friend, like we need to hang out soon.
22:25
Yeah, we need to watch that. Yeah.
22:29
Never happens. We're going to anyways.
22:32
But you know, we just need to. Eventually.
22:35
Eventually, yeah, at the Corbic, I told you, crease pops up on
22:41
screen teaching students a new lesson.
22:43
Never underestimate your anything.
22:46
Even if you think they're weaker than you, you have to stay one
22:48
step ahead of them. That's the only way to guarantee
22:51
a victory. The class understands basically
22:54
what the big guy did to Bert in the All Valley Tournament.
23:07
Never underestimate your enemy. He's weaker than me so I must
23:12
Spartan kick him until he then goes away and that's what he did
23:16
to poor Bert and birds all like oh I'm sorry guys.
23:19
Like no that's OK, come here about it, you're fired.
23:28
The class understands. They're like yes I'd say he
23:30
tells them if they understand the lesson and tells the class
23:32
he wants them to knock down the tree that is sitting on top of a
23:35
ledge. Big Red starts by trying to go
23:37
for a high kick but sounds like fabric from the ghee ripped.
23:42
Who knows, maybe it did. Crease calls a pathetic then ask
23:47
Rickenberger to show him. Rickenberger does some type of
23:49
flashy flippy thing but doesn't even attempt to hit and falls on
23:53
his ass. Crease asks him to the top stop
23:57
his nibbling. Hawk steps forward and says he
23:59
can do it. He walks up in front of the
24:02
ledge, but Chris asked him if he wants to get a running start
24:03
first. Hawk says he doesn't need one
24:05
and kicks the ledge, forcing the tree to drop and break.
24:09
Creek smiles. Hawk goes back to the spot and
24:11
Reckenberger cries that Hawk cheated.
24:14
Chris tells him that unlike him, he did exactly what he asked him
24:17
to do, which was knock the tree down.
24:19
He tells his class that if their mind is agile, then so are they
24:23
and that is the best way to beat your enemy.
24:25
Not just withdrew strength, but you have to fight smart.
24:29
Do that and you will always come out on top.
24:32
Hawk smiles because he is learning and basically what they
24:37
do it's not cheating but like finding another way around.
24:42
He was thinking outside the box. He was thinking outside the box,
24:46
Thinking outside the box. Cheated anyway.
24:52
I'm sorry, I disagree. It was not cheating.
24:54
I was thinking outside the box. Next thing, he's at the
25:01
hospital, Miguel searching through his Instagram.
25:03
He watches Hawk knock down the tree, scrolls down again.
25:06
There's a picture of the newest member of Cobra Kai, Clarence
25:08
Snake the Cobra. Yes, he's annoyed to drop his
25:13
phone to the table, feeling sad. His nurse checked in on him.
25:15
He asked what he can. He asked if what if he can't
25:19
walk again? Nurse tells him not to think
25:22
that way, but maybe a big chocolate cake from the
25:24
cafeteria will help him feel better.
25:30
I'm depressing. Oh, maybe your chocolate cake
25:33
will help you. Cheer up, buddy.
25:36
Right, you may never walk again, but here's some cake.
25:39
Here's some cake like and you're supposed to giving people cake.
25:48
Yeah, I don't think I've ever known to have chocolate cake in
25:52
the hospital. Well, that one time I one time I
25:58
was in the hospital. I don't think they're like, you
26:02
want cake? Can I get some Sprite zero?
26:08
Yeah, sure. Here you go.
26:10
Can I get another one? Yeah, sure.
26:12
Here we go. Really.
26:16
Sprite zero's OK? No, but here you go.
26:20
What? No, really, they, I mean, they
26:25
told me like when I came in, I had a 7UP and they're like,
26:29
throw that away. Yes, Sir.
26:32
I don't know. I don't know why.
26:34
Oh, you have diabetes? Throw that away.
26:36
It's like, all right, here's the water.
26:38
All right, Went to the hospital, fucking sat there, ate some
26:43
hospital food, some good healthy hospital food and sprayed there
26:48
or water. Here's where.
26:51
But no chocolate. But no chocolate cake.
26:53
I wouldn't want chocolate cake like sugar free.
26:56
No, that's that thing. Anyway.
26:58
She leaves to go get the cake and runs into Johnny who was on
27:01
the phone with Bobby apologizing for not showing up to see
27:04
Robbie. He checks in with the nurse and
27:06
asks her if he will be able to walk again.
27:08
She tells him it doesn't work like that.
27:12
Doesn't work like that, buddy. Time will tell, but she can take
27:17
him in to see him if he likes. Johnny doesn't feel like going
27:20
insane. He needs to be with his family
27:22
and walks out of the hospital. Yeah, it doesn't work like that,
27:25
buddy. You know, you just can't tell
27:30
someone to walk again by just telling him to walk again.
27:34
Go get your phone, OK? Nope.
27:39
There needs to be like some type of rehab and you.
27:44
Know we're talking about Johnny here.
27:46
Johnny probably doesn't even know what rehab is.
27:49
Oh God, some type of be able to walk again rehab where the
27:53
hospital is hop hospitals approving of it not like hope at
27:58
home rehab. What would we get to later?
28:04
Oh, OK. Daniel flies across Japan from
28:08
Tokidoki Nawa and traveled by taxi to Tomi Village.
28:11
On his way there, he knows that the area has now been thoroughly
28:14
commercialized, riddled with international chain brands.
28:18
He gets a flashback of scenes from Karate Kid too, with him
28:20
and Mr. Miyagi walking around the village.
28:22
Another flashback scene of him meeting Yumiko for the very
28:24
first time, who was teaching little girls to play.
28:26
And finally, one of him practicing karate with Mr.
28:29
Miyagi. I love those flashback scenes.
28:35
Is the folklore music and it's just like here we go, the
28:40
Japanese folklore music and the theme and the.
28:44
Entire I love it. Do you not like?
28:46
Do you not love it? Is it?
28:48
That's what it is? It's like it's the entire chat
28:50
because it just reminds you of the old times in 1985 or, you
28:56
know, seeing that for the very first time, walking around there
28:59
for the very first time, looking at that those scenes for the
29:01
very first time. Like this movie is going to be
29:05
awesome. And like all of that and just
29:10
him, him going back there and like seeing all these places and
29:15
then like having that moment of just like, oh shit, what
29:19
happened to this place? Like we have KFC, we have
29:24
Subway, we have this, we have that.
29:26
What? Right.
29:28
Yeah, like, oh shit, it's been, it's, it's now commercialized.
29:36
Like, sorry. It was so.
29:37
It was so. Pretty like I just remember, I
29:41
remember Karate Kid too, and like that's that was one of the
29:44
things I liked about it was the the scene.
29:47
I I don't know, it's just it's hard to describe, but it was
29:49
just like you wish you could be there.
29:53
It was just it was very beautiful.
29:55
It was beautiful. It was just very, I don't know,
29:59
peaceful, calm. Peaceful.
30:01
Yeah, the calm. Yeah, like.
30:03
The music. A sense of community, like it.
30:06
The community was like it just it was just a small village with
30:09
with everybody was like a family.
30:11
And I don't know, I like that. I like that.
30:14
Yeah. Seem to watch.
30:15
This again, yes, Everybody felt like a family.
30:18
There was no crime, there was nothing, there was no drama.
30:22
And then? Well, there was drama.
30:24
Daniel Daniel shows up and everything he did.
30:30
And there's drama. Happens in Part 2 all over
30:33
again. One is like Part 2 is like copy
30:36
and paste from part one except he's in a different country.
30:39
But he's in a pretty, yeah, pretty place.
30:42
And instead he already has that sense of karate and he meets up
30:46
with a new guy, and the new guys all almost killed him.
30:49
Let's not forget the New Girl. The New Girl?
30:53
Yeah, the same thing for part one.
30:55
Copy and paste like. No, but he's not fighting for
31:00
competition, he's fighting for his life.
31:02
It's different. He's he's fighting for the glory
31:05
of love. He's fighting for his life and
31:08
her life. He's saving her life.
31:10
So it's different than the first one.
31:14
Stop it. Oh, OK.
31:20
Are you really going to make fun of that song again?
31:24
What are you doing? I'm waiting for you to say his
31:30
name wrong. Oh, Peter, etcetera.
31:34
There it is. There it is.
31:39
Johnny goes to visit Robbie who's doing community service so
31:42
he can get out earlier by feeding food to Homeless Johnny
31:44
explained to him as it's the only way that she could see him.
31:48
He knows that Robbie has a black eye and is where he is fighting
31:50
in Juby. After everything that went down,
31:52
Robbie still doesn't want him there and says that whatever
31:54
he's going to say, save it. Daniel told him that he has his
31:57
back also and look where he is now.
32:00
Johnny's about to tell Robbie to forget about Larissa but gets
32:02
yelled by Homeless Lynn. He's back.
32:06
Welcome back, Homeless Lynn. She's in line and been waiting
32:10
patiently for food. She realizes who it is and asked
32:15
Johnny if he's stalking her and not to eat her soup.
32:18
Goldilocks. Johnny turns around to Robbie
32:25
and tells him he's not leaving until they talk and he's hungry.
32:28
Robbie gives him a bowl of soup and Johnny goes sit down,
32:30
waiting for Robbie's shift to be over.
32:33
And like, I wonder if William Zabka ever broke character and
32:38
laughed because like, his interaction with Lynn is just
32:43
every time, like, I want you to put go out there with this and
32:47
just, you know, turn it around, flipped around, all that stuff.
32:50
OK. And then she comes back and
32:52
she's fucking using it as a as a roof for the sun.
32:57
And he's all like, what the hell, the pizza thing, the
33:01
hearse telling him to get out of here.
33:05
Her her spot all those other times and he just sits there
33:12
like stands there, looks at her like, why are you still here?
33:16
Why? And I'm just waiting for I'm
33:19
looking around for like for season 1-2 and three bloopers
33:27
where he just laughs at her and she's just like laughing the
33:30
entire time when he just create breaks character and everything.
33:34
But I can't find any. So she's like, maybe there is
33:37
one of Lynn just like making him laugh and breaking him break,
33:41
making him break basically. So like if you guys ever see
33:46
one, send it over to me. Let me know next scene at
33:53
school. Wait a minute.
33:54
Hold on. Let me go back to here.
33:58
So yeah, yeah, we're good at school.
34:01
Dimitri brings his science project to the lunch table where
34:03
Yasmin and Moon are sitting and asked Yasmin if she's ready to
34:06
rock it. She replied when she's ready to
34:08
go back to live in a world they don't have to talk to on a
34:10
regular basis. He tells her his popularity is
34:13
on the rise while hers is steadily declining.
34:15
But maybe they can meet in the middle, like a sexual Venn
34:17
diagram. She is disgusted.
34:20
He uncovers the project to reveal what scientists believe
34:23
to be the valley when diamond or sores roamed the Earth.
34:26
Yasmin presses down on an egg, which triggers an eruption in
34:29
lots of roars. Moon and Yasmin are impressed.
34:33
In the background, Big Red is recording Hawk kicking the ball
34:35
up to 22 times with his phone, calling it a new record.
34:38
Hawk looks over to lunch tape and gets jealous of Dmitri
34:41
talking to the Moon and destroys his science project.
34:44
Dmitri tells him to it took him three weeks to build.
34:46
Hawk says it took his ball 3 seconds to destroy.
34:49
Yasmin asked if he has another one, of course.
34:53
Yeah, I'll just pull another project that took me 3 weeks out
34:56
of my back pocket. Or if she could help out, maybe
35:00
it'll take a week. Dimitri is again mad, tells
35:04
Hawk. Another week and another pissing
35:06
contest, and he's not surprised as he loves pissing so much.
35:09
That was fucking a burn. I loved it and it went over
35:15
people's heads. I don't know why that's the
35:17
fact. Like I know, but like it went
35:19
over the everybody else's head. And just like that is the great
35:24
burn right there. Another pissing contest and it's
35:26
from him. He likes to piss so much.
35:31
Hawk tells him he got lucky with that kick Sam and brings and
35:34
tells him to back off or he won't be so lucky.
35:37
Hawk noses the school counselor making rounds and he changes his
35:40
tone to instigate to sleep, instigating Sam to sleep with
35:45
someone new and break their heart.
35:47
Sam put Hawk Miss Blad's globes. Sam about physical contact and
35:52
school guidelines. She asked Hawk and Sam.
35:56
She asked Hawk if Sam answered his personal bubble without
36:00
verbal consent. Oh God, Hawk says.
36:04
She definitely triggered him in his safe space.
36:09
Then Ritu says, he started. Destroying his science project,
36:13
Hawk says it was an accident and probably shouldn't bring toys to
36:15
school. Wow.
36:18
Miss Blast says wow, it's a school ball or.
36:22
Whatever. Yeah, Miss Blass says she
36:25
doesn't want excuses, but wants everyone to respect each other.
36:28
Hawk again says they should stop with the macro and
36:30
microaggression. Miss Black gives Sam a warning
36:37
and Dimitri to get the Lego bricks off the ground someone
36:40
could get hurt. She walks away.
36:42
Hawk tails Sam both Sam and Dimitri for them no space is
36:46
safe and last with the rest of the cobra kite team.
36:48
Her saying get the Lego off the ground like pissed me off.
36:54
It triggered me. I don't know for what reason
36:57
alone, but you ever seen Lego masters?
37:02
First season, first episode, I forgot his name, he plays
37:07
Batman, Lego Batman Will Arnett. Will Arnett explains to
37:12
everybody there They did not or they're not called Lego.
37:15
As Lego is already plural. You'll see you calling it Legos.
37:21
It's just why they're called Lego bricks.
37:26
As soon as I heard her say that, I was like y'all fucked up on
37:29
the writing. Either y'all fucked up on the
37:32
writing or you did this on purpose.
37:35
Please for the love of God, I don't ever want to hear y'all
37:38
say Legos to me. Call them Lego bricks.
37:42
I will literally sit there and quote what Will Arnett said to
37:46
to on this show, Lego Masters and tell you what he said.
37:51
It's like the first episode, first season.
37:54
Don't call it Lego, Lego bricks, please.
37:56
OK, OK, onto this whole Hawk being a douchebag.
38:02
Like I like he's like, he's going back to where he was
38:09
bullied. Like, yeah, he did this to me.
38:11
He triggered my safe space. Oh my God, like bubble.
38:18
Sorry, but that was such Yeah, that was that was him being
38:25
narcissist. No, I was gonna say
38:27
narcissistic. Narcissist.
38:30
Like right there, I'm like, no, yeah, I was.
38:35
I was not happy about his behavior there.
38:39
Yeah, he's kind of like I like, for some reason.
38:44
Yeah, Miss Blatt, I guess feels bad for him because he was the
38:48
one getting bullied. So like, wait, did his mom
38:54
called the school and she was the one that, like, said it out
38:57
in front of the cafeteria? Yeah.
38:59
So she has to say she has a soft spot for.
39:02
Her maybe she has a soft spot for him, but yeah.
39:06
But same time. And, and I know it's it's
39:11
Frisa's doing. It is like, you know, play it
39:16
safe and just like, pretend you're in trouble.
39:20
He's getting in his head. He's he's, he's evil.
39:24
Yeah, he's getting, he's getting, he's getting to the
39:27
point where he's becoming crease himself, basically like, oh, I'm
39:31
going to play it safe, but the same time I'm going to mess with
39:35
them. And like a snake, you know,
39:38
messes with his prey. And at the right moment, he
39:43
strikes first. Strike hard, strike hard.
39:49
No mercy. OK, so in Okinawa, Daniel is
39:58
there and the resident explains to him how the construction of a
40:01
mall helped to provide people with a livelihood under the
40:03
leadership Asado. It brought new jobs and modern
40:06
home to the villagers that were already there and saved their
40:09
village. The resident is excited to tell
40:12
them that there have been a lot of changes, one being that they
40:14
used to have a Subway, but now they have a Jersey Mike's.
40:19
You ever had Jersey Mike's? You ever had Jersey, Mike?
40:21
'S I have one time when they first opened in my town.
40:26
One time. I haven't had it since.
40:29
That was like years ago. Like now I want Jersey Mike's.
40:33
True it. Was like literally when it was
40:35
like their opening day or something, they were giving away
40:37
free Subs or something like, and it was like probably five years
40:42
ago. So it's been a while.
40:44
I had it once, only I was a jury duty and then went out for
40:48
lunch, went to jury Mike that was there while I was working at
40:52
Panera, somebody was working at jury Mark's there and they're
40:56
like, hey, I work at Jersey Mike.
40:57
I was at Jersey Mike's. It's a sub place.
41:00
Sorry. Cool.
41:02
So I went there and I was like, oh, cool, can I?
41:04
I don't know what that says. So I ordered a sandwich.
41:08
A little sub sandwich, a little sandwich, a medium.
41:12
The sandwich. Can't call this sub anymore.
41:17
No longer calling it sub because sorry about that.
41:28
Yeah, a little tiny, a little small sandwich.
41:30
It was good, it was fine. It was play like Subway, but at
41:33
the same time it was. A little better than Subway I
41:35
feel, but it wasn't like Oh my God, amazing or anything as far
41:40
as I. Right, like.
41:42
That's probably went back again. It was a few years back.
41:46
Let me try it again and let me like go to it a few more times
41:49
and see what it was like. Because like, I don't think I'll
41:53
ever stop going to Capriotti's or what's that Jimmy John's
42:02
jersey Mike? I don't know.
42:03
We'll see. In a stroke of good fortune,
42:06
Daniel knows this. Kumiko guiding a group of girls
42:09
through a dance. Again, another flashback scene
42:11
where we go back to Karateka 2 and Kumiko is teaching Daniel
42:15
how to dance. Well, her interpretive dancing,
42:20
like she already knows how to dance.
42:21
He does fun her around in the movie as well, but like her
42:26
interpretive dancing. When the dance is completed,
42:28
Kumiko notices Daniel in the audience and she too has a
42:31
flashback of him from Karate Kid too.
42:33
Like oh Kumiko, she's all like oh Daniel's son.
42:41
Hey, welcome back. I remember you. 30 years later.
42:46
30 years later, reprising her role as Kumiko's legendary
42:49
actress Tamlin Tumida, who has played 140 roles.
42:54
Most memorable for TV shows. Jerry went up in the Santa
42:56
Barbara in the 80s. Eleven on the Burning Zone 7
42:59
episodes on Jag 5 on 24. The series appeared on Stargate
43:04
SG-1 Atlantis. Yeah.
43:06
Kim Yamazaki on Eureka, 10 episodes of Law and Order LA, 16
43:11
episodes on Teen Wolf at Kira's Mom, 37 episodes on The Good
43:15
Doctor. She is currently on one episodes
43:18
of Netflix show Dead Voice Detective and currently voice
43:21
acting as the character AB Cosado on Ultraman Writing.
43:28
Wow, I didn't realize she was in so many things.
43:33
Right. That's amazing.
43:34
A lot, lots of movies as well. I've never seen them, like
43:38
straight to DVD type, straight to video type of movies or just
43:42
movies that I've never even considered watching.
43:45
But Teen Wolf? Kira's mom?
43:49
I didn't know that actually the. Kitson A the Kitson a storyline,
43:53
everything in that storyline. And then I see the dad and her
43:57
just and I'm like, why does she look so familiar?
43:59
And then I looked it up like, oh, shit, you Kumiko.
44:03
What? No way.
44:06
And like, damn, she's kicking ass on Teen Wolf.
44:12
Like, yeah, that's awesome. It is awesome.
44:16
I've never expected her to see this year at all.
44:20
And like that what Teen Wolf was like, five or six years ago
44:23
before this. And then she comes back like I
44:26
haven't seen the good doctor so I don't know.
44:28
So maybe like she kicked ass there too.
44:30
But I know Teen Wolf. She was a kick ass character.
44:34
The. Good doctor the first few
44:37
seasons and then I had never finished.
44:40
It was really, really good. I need to go back into that
44:42
show. Yeah, and every time I think
44:45
about Kira and that whole family there, like I always comes back
44:49
to Boyd Styles and that storyline and I'm just like, I
44:53
don't want to see this again. Oh my God that one was one of
44:57
the most gruesome, craziest episode storylines ever.
45:04
When the whole voice styles happen.
45:06
Like, I'm sure Teen Wolf fans can agree with that.
45:13
I need to watch Teen Wolf. Yes, you do.
45:15
I haven't seen it yet. It's been on my watch list and I
45:18
have not seen it yet. Oh yeah, I'll definitely have to
45:22
watch the Wolf again. Yeah, sure, I'll watch it again
45:24
no problem. I will.
45:27
Maybe that's something I will start.
45:30
All right, back at a homeless shelter or the soup kitchen,
45:33
what would you call it? Homeless shelter?
45:36
Yeah, it's a homeless shelter, right?
45:39
No, it's an it's AI. Don't know.
45:44
I don't know what's where you go to get food?
45:48
Is it homeless shelter? Maybe the homeless could be.
45:53
Homeless kitchen? Sure.
45:55
Homeless Kitchen? Sure, Johnny's still sitting
45:57
down eating a soup. Right across from him is
45:59
Homeless Lynn, who flirts with him.
46:03
They should just get together. I'm telling you, there's like
46:06
there has to be a. There's a closer there.
46:09
There has to be one where he just like looks over at her and
46:12
just starts laughing and she's all like still in character.
46:18
He gets up from the table and gives Lynn the rest of his soup
46:20
as he walks towards Robbie to try and help him pick up a huge
46:23
casserole of soup. Is this her?
46:26
Is she in four or five? And she's not in six, I know
46:29
that. But is she in four and five
46:31
also? I honestly do not remember.
46:35
Jesus. I don't remember if she is.
46:38
I know. Yeah, she's not in six.
46:40
She's not in six. She's not in six yet.
46:42
I don't think she's at 5:00 but I could be wrong.
46:49
And like, and honestly, I'm not going to look for it, but I just
46:51
want to look for her name again. Susan Gallagher.
46:55
Shout out to Susan Gallagher for playing this role.
46:59
Fucking Florida State. Like, I loved it and like, it
47:05
made me laugh. I don't know how it made it.
47:07
Doesn't make like he doesn't break at all.
47:11
But yeah, he tries to help Robbie pick up a huge casserole
47:17
soup, the huge one of those big containers of pot, you know,
47:21
pot. There it is, Pot of soup, the
47:23
menudo soup bowl, whatever it's called the, you know, hey, I'm
47:27
going to feed a bunch of people and I need this pot, that one,
47:31
the all those people that have a big soup pot.
47:37
You don't know what I mean about that, right?
47:40
Y'all been there? Y'all tried to like, look it for
47:43
it and like, try to wash off the old grimy stuff from the last
47:46
soup, but you don't. We all know who you are.
47:52
He, he tells him he just wants to help.
47:54
And before that flight at school, they were headed in the
47:57
right direction. Robbie says they had one Good
47:59
day, Sir. You took your girlfriend to him.
48:09
That's not one good day that could have been avoided had.
48:13
You said that was a disaster. Did it on you, but that was the.
48:17
Beginning of a disaster. Johnny explained to him that he
48:23
should have been there, but something happened at the
48:25
hospital. Robbie sings that he chose
48:27
Miguel over him, but Johnny burst out that he's not the one
48:30
who put him in the hospital. Rob.
48:33
Yeah, yeah. Robbie tries to grab a giant pan
48:35
of soup, pot of soup, sorry, but Johnny grabs his arm.
48:39
Robbie jerks, not wanting to get in touch, and drops the pot on
48:42
the floor, causing a scene and telling Johnny he doesn't need
48:44
him anymore. A cop escorts Johnny out of the
48:46
homeless shelter and meanwhile Sean, the rest of his boys are
48:48
laughing in the background like Robbie.
48:50
Oh it's not a good Lord they made it into a big ass deal at
48:58
the school during gym. The ongoing robbery between
49:01
Kluber Kaimuyagi who continues to boil over.
49:05
I love how we go from pot to boiling.
49:08
Soccer. Oh, to boiling over.
49:11
Yeah, namely during a soccer game that gets physical in the
49:16
background, the cheerleaders are doing a routine that sounds
49:18
vaguely familiar, like the one in the original Karate Kid
49:20
movie. During the soccer team as well,
49:25
Dimitri says his gym shorts pinching all the wrong places.
49:27
That's the last time I ever want to hear that at that.
49:35
Why dude? Why?
49:37
Why the writing on this? You know adults are watching
49:42
also, right? Like I don't want to know that
49:44
this kids gym shorts are pinching in the wrong places.
49:48
And This is why we need to write the episodes I.
49:52
Would have written something else, something nerdier than
49:54
that, Dimitri. At that point.
49:59
Cobra Kai students wearing red show up to apply soccer.
50:02
Dimitri wishes they could do something about them.
50:04
Sam hatches a plan to mess with them during soccer with a little
50:06
bit of physical contact. Montage of them playing soccer
50:09
while Rock'n'roll Over You by Moody Blues playing, which was
50:12
played previously on Karate Kid 2 during the Break the ice
50:15
challenge between Daniel and Chosen.
50:18
It's coming, That's it's coming. That's what they're trying to
50:23
say. Like who?
50:25
Remember this song? It was played during Karate Kid
50:27
two and look where we're at. The kids playing soccer can also
50:32
be compared to when Daniel was playing soccer and got in the
50:34
fight with Cobra Kai. So once again, it's mirroring
50:37
what Sam's dad experience was like in the movie.
50:41
She's doing the exact same thing.
50:43
That's what I was thinking too. Also in this montage, we see
50:47
Hawk score a goal and hit the schwing celebration just like
50:51
Portuguese soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo.
50:55
His celebration is cut short when he tries to wink at Moon
50:57
who is talking to another guy on the sidelines and becomes
51:00
jealous, pushing another player down.
51:02
Dmitri runs beside Hawk knowing why he did that and continues to
51:05
add people to the fire by telling him that she loved him
51:08
and he had a good thing going with the hottest girl in school
51:10
and he ruined it by becoming a loser.
51:12
He shoulders Hawk and sweeps the leg, telling him it's why you're
51:17
telling him why the Europeans call it football.
51:21
Rickenberger wants to go after Dimitri, but Hawker reminds him
51:23
it's quite smart. So they had to plan to use the
51:25
ball to hit everyone on the field instead of their fists.
51:29
Coach Benadry, who's been watching the entire thing going
51:34
on and tells him like, hey, calm down, hey, stop, hey.
51:36
She finally blows the whistle and sends her and went to the
51:39
principal's office. She's all like, all right, you
51:42
guys are fucking assholes. Go to the principal's office.
51:47
But this whole scene in soccer, it's it had to come up to that
51:51
because, you know, let's do some Karate Kid two and one
51:56
comparisons as well. Not just two, but one as well.
51:58
Let's bring in The Karate Kid one stuff.
52:01
Hey, you remember Karate Kid one when they did the soccer thing?
52:04
This is that. Remember Karate Kid 20?
52:06
There's plenty of that here. I wish they would have went back
52:11
to that, but I suppose they couldn't because Daniel wasn't
52:15
there for the flashback. But it would have been kind of
52:18
cool to see the curve. That makes sense.
52:22
You know what I mean? Like they should have flashback
52:24
of the soccer part and card a kid.
52:28
But yeah, it wouldn't have made sense, I suppose, because nobody
52:31
was there to like Johnny wasn't there, you know, any of them,
52:36
Daniel. So.
52:37
That if like, so if this was like a game, a real game outside
52:42
of school and Daniel was there to like, cheer them on.
52:45
And then he sees what's happening.
52:46
He's like, wait a minute, what? Oh yeah, see that would have
52:49
worked. Gets triggered back to Karate
52:52
Kid one where he got hurt by them too.
52:54
Like oh hell no this is not coming back again.
52:59
Triggered his his daughter's safe space bubble.
53:03
Anyway, back in Japan, Daniel and Kamika are having tea at
53:08
Tommy Village where he shares with her why he finally returned
53:10
to Japan. She tells him after graduation
53:12
she joined the Hija Kata Tsumi Dance company where they
53:16
traveled all around the world where her favorite place ended
53:19
up being London because she got to see the Cranberries open for
53:22
Radiohead in 1995 and they played Zombie Linger and Dreams,
53:26
which were my favorite time, right All the hits.
53:32
She came back to Okinawa to start teaching and her aunt Yuki
53:34
got sick and passed and deep down she wanted her to get
53:37
married but she stayed a free agent as Daniel once said on
53:40
Karate Kid 2, Daniel asked if any guy ever put a ring on that
53:44
finger. She says many tries but none of
53:46
them fought to the best for her. Works I.
53:50
Love that. This is a reference to the fight
53:52
at the end of The Karate Kid Part 2 with Danny, one after
53:54
Kumiko was first taken hostage at a village celebration by the
53:58
villain. Children, I want you all to
53:59
remember that. OK?
54:03
Taken hostage by Chosen, who challenged Daniel to a fight, to
54:09
the death. Do you see where I'm coming?
54:15
Chosen almost killed him. Chosen almost killed this girl.
54:20
OK, Remember that. Johnny didn't.
54:26
Johnny swept the leg and that's it.
54:28
Johnny was following orders. No chosen was like disobey his
54:32
uncle. I don't think Johnny ever
54:37
physically her ally either though.
54:41
No, well, he didn't push her. No, he didn't.
54:47
Oh no. I don't think so.
54:56
Freaking chosen. Disobeyed his uncle.
55:01
Dishonor on him. Dishonor on your family.
55:03
Dishonor on your cow. Yeah.
55:11
What does that say? What is that Mulan for?
55:13
I'm sorry. Why am I bringing this up here?
55:16
Dishonor on your cow. Dishonor on you.
55:18
This is. What you do?
55:22
Dishonor on you, Dishonor on your cow, dishonor on your whole
55:26
family there. That's what children did.
55:32
He dishonored his cow. Well, his uncle did disown him.
55:38
So you dishonored him. What did he say?
55:40
He said you are dead to me. Dishonored.
55:46
I remember that scene very well. Oh, God, yeah, Kumiko laughed,
55:50
and Daniel tells her. Wait, wait, wait.
55:52
No, go back. Daniel Laughlin says it's a
55:54
tough act to follow. It is a tough act to follow, but
55:56
you did Part 3. I'm not even going to say
56:04
anything. Fucking tough act to follow.
56:09
Tough movie to. Follow What did you do tough
56:11
Part 3 for? That was a tough movie to
56:14
follow. I don't know why they did OK.
56:18
They should have stopped it too. Even though I love Karate Kid,
56:21
they should have stopped it too. We need a, we need AP.
56:27
We need a, a cartoon after that. Oh, she's also the voice in the
56:34
cartoon of Karate Kid. Yeah, there was a Karate Kid
56:38
cartoon back in the 80s, you know, to like.
56:43
Well, there's also a Karate Kid video game and.
56:49
Oh my God. Merch, merch it.
56:57
Kumiko laughs and Daniel tells her that this is surreal.
57:00
He thinks he hasn't seen her in 5 minutes, but it's really been
57:02
over 30 years. Yumiko says that maybe if they
57:04
had the Facebook or the Instagram back then, they would
57:07
have never lost touch. And this is when I was asking
57:12
myself, don't they have phones back there?
57:15
And then I looked it up. Long distance phone calls in the
57:18
80s. They did, right?
57:21
Oh, you want to know why? Long distance calls were made by
57:26
using a process that involved operators connecting calls
57:29
through multiple offices. One, the caller would dial A #2.
57:33
The operator would connect to a long distance office using a
57:37
special line. The operator would then connect
57:39
the call to the long distance off in the city the caller was
57:41
trying to reach. The operator in the city would
57:43
connect the call to the exchange for the person the caller was
57:45
trying to reach. Finally, another operator would
57:47
connect the call to the other person on the other end.
57:51
This process was time consuming, costly, and cumbersome, and
57:54
operators could only try to put a call through once.
57:57
If the call didn't go through, the caller would have to wait
57:59
and try again later. What's the time difference
58:03
between Reseda and Japan I? Don't know.
58:11
Like 12 hours. He would have to like be up at
58:17
night, 12:00 AM for her to be like, it's, I don't know, I
58:23
don't know. In the 1980s, the volume of long
58:26
distance calls was increasing by 12 to 14% annually.
58:29
And Boxing Day was one of the busiest days for phone calls.
58:32
The MTMT, the MTNT operators were available on Boxing Day and
58:35
Christmas Day to have callers and their direct distance
58:38
dialing system could handle over 28,000 calls per hour.
58:41
So if she wasn't there, she wasn't there.
58:43
He ain't getting her call back. They ain't talking.
58:49
So yeah, he should have just stayed there or there was no
58:56
way. There was no way.
59:01
When Yumiko asked the real reason why he came back to
59:03
Okinawa, he says he got his dream too.
59:05
He got an incredible family and awesome business.
59:07
But everyone is looking for him for answers.
59:10
But he doesn't know which way is up.
59:11
He feels out of control. He used to go to Mr. Miyagi for
59:15
help. He reveals that he is the same
59:17
age now that Mister Miyagi was when he met him.
59:20
He wishes he could still be here to help him, guide him.
59:24
Yumiko says she thinks she can make that happen.
59:28
There it is, there it comes, bartender new.
59:33
Bartender's all here. Comes.
59:36
I know, I know people. Next thing, an arrogant Creed
59:41
visit Johnny at a bar. A cop comes out of the bathroom
59:44
and asks the bartender for chicken sandwich to go.
59:46
The bartender says to give him 3 minutes.
59:48
Johnny tells Creed that he has three minutes to talk.
59:50
Creed claims that everything he did was for Johnny's own good.
59:54
He never wanted to hurt him but always wanted to help.
59:56
He claimed Johnny did the impossible by bringing Copacog
59:59
and him back to life. But then he started to lead the
1:00:02
kids down the wrong path so he has to step in.
1:00:05
Johnny continues to drink his beer and ignores everything
1:00:08
Chris is telling him. Chris tells him now it's time to
1:00:10
come home. He says Johnny may hate him but
1:00:12
he will always be his teacher. He continues to tell him that
1:00:15
there's one way to get him out of his funk and it is the weight
1:00:17
of the fist. He was the best and he can come
1:00:21
back and teach that to the rest of the kids and when their boy
1:00:23
comes back he can help him get on his feet.
1:00:26
This triggers Johnny and tells Creed that if he goes anywhere
1:00:29
near Miguel or his family he will kill him.
1:00:32
Bartender comes back with the chicken sandwich has to the cop
1:00:34
and he walks up and walks away. 3 minutes are up for Creed as
1:00:38
well who tells Johnny to think about what he said and leaves.
1:00:44
I love that. That was my favorite badass
1:00:47
thing right there and I will tell you about it later.
1:00:52
At school in front of the principal's office on one side
1:00:55
is Sam, Dimitri and three other unknown Miyagido students.
1:00:59
We don't know their names. One on the other is Big Red,
1:01:03
Rickenberger and Johnson. We find out Big Red's last name.
1:01:09
Hawk walks out with Miss Blatt and tells the rest of the Cobra
1:01:12
High students they are free to go.
1:01:14
As for Miyagi though students, she explained to them they will
1:01:16
be receiving rehabilitative, not punitive Saturday detention.
1:01:21
Sam yells. This is bullshit.
1:01:24
What, Sam? This is bullshit.
1:01:27
I'm pissed off by this scene. It triggered me.
1:01:34
It triggered you? Every time someone says this is
1:01:41
bullshit, it just reminds me of one thing.
1:01:45
Why do I? I know what you're talking
1:01:47
about, but I can't think. This is bullshit.
1:01:51
No, tell me no because it's going to drive me crazy.
1:01:54
This is bullshit. Yeah, but what's what's the?
1:01:58
Problem no the TikTok. This is bullshit.
1:02:00
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah, that yeah.
1:02:04
Thanks. Thanks for thanks for putting
1:02:06
that back in my head. Appreciate.
1:02:08
It this is bullsh. Every time someone says this is
1:02:10
bullshit, I must play what Sam, Miss Blatt says this is not how
1:02:18
we express ourselves here. So she gives her two weekends of
1:02:20
attention. I was waiting for her to I was
1:02:24
waiting. No, I was waiting for Sam to
1:02:26
just get some pissed off some more and just do like a
1:02:29
breakfast club singing right here where she just like Miss
1:02:33
Blatt just tells her like don't mess with the bull.
1:02:36
That's three weeks. You want to make it for her?
1:02:40
No, just say the word so you're mine for the next 4 weeks like.
1:02:50
Didn't happen though. We're not the writers.
1:02:52
We're not the writers, but I would have so put that in there.
1:02:57
Keep punching the fucking locker there Sam.
1:03:01
Anyway, just like her dad in the movie, she yells this cool,
1:03:04
sucks and punches the locker before storming off again.
1:03:10
It just goes back to what? Daniel used.
1:03:12
Daniel did that too. Mirroring everything he did.
1:03:18
Next scene, Yumiko has taken Daniel Yuki's house where she
1:03:21
has kept a lot of love letters that Mister Miyagi sent Yuki and
1:03:25
every moving scene she reads the last.
1:03:28
In a very moving scene, she reads the last letter Minister
1:03:31
Miyagi wrote a few days before he passed away.
1:03:33
The letter reflects on his life and his relationship with
1:03:35
Daniel. Kumiko gets emotional while
1:03:37
reading of how proud he was with Daniel and how Daniel welcomed
1:03:40
him into his family and made him like Sam's grandfather.
1:03:43
And made him feel. Like Sam's grandfather.
1:03:45
That whole part took 5 minutes jeez.
1:03:50
So thank you to whoever picked up on the transcript of the
1:03:55
letter very much. I really appreciate you.
1:03:57
Here's the letter in question. My sweetheart.
1:04:00
Yuki, I am sorry. It has been a long time since my
1:04:02
last letter. I'm so happy to hear that Kanshi
1:04:06
Zakura, Okinawa Chair Blossom is in good health.
1:04:09
I'm sorry to tell you that I am back in the hospital.
1:04:12
Please do not worry. There is nothing to do except
1:04:14
watch television and think. Think about family, think about
1:04:18
us. Think about where I have been.
1:04:19
Think about where I'm going in life.
1:04:22
I have always looked for signs to show me the right way, but I
1:04:26
get lost until I met Daniel's son.
1:04:29
His kind heart, strong cheek and loyalty and love for those
1:04:33
around him is a guiding light to me.
1:04:35
I'm very proud of the man he has become even though he still has
1:04:38
a hard head. I never thought I would have a
1:04:40
family again. Daniel's son has welcomed me
1:04:43
into his family and he has passed on what I teach him in
1:04:45
Miyagido to his daughter Samantha.
1:04:47
That makes me feel like I am her handmate, grandfather.
1:04:51
In life, we'll always lose our way.
1:04:52
But it's people, not science, that guide us back to the right
1:04:55
path. Do you like that, Yuki?
1:04:57
I heard that in the car salesman in the car commercial.
1:04:59
Love Nadiyoshi Miyagi. And it's probably Daniel saying
1:05:05
it. We'll always lose our way, but
1:05:07
it's people, not science, that guide us back to the right path.
1:05:13
From a car commercial. Thank you, Mr. Miyagi.
1:05:18
Daniel reveals that that was the last letter, and it was a week
1:05:23
before he passed away. This gives Daniel an idea of
1:05:28
what to do next. But yeah, when she read that
1:05:31
letter, I'm like, oh, I just like, imagine his voice saying
1:05:36
it and everything. Same.
1:05:41
But yeah, there's a in life, we'll always lose our way, but
1:05:46
it's people, not signs, that guide us back to the right path.
1:05:49
I love that. That's the next book we're
1:05:52
getting we're putting up there. Next scene is at the hospital.
1:06:02
Miguel is trying to reach for his phone but it's on the tray
1:06:05
and it's draining himself to grab it.
1:06:06
Johnny walks in and ask him if he wants to go get it.
1:06:10
He pushes the tray away. Miguel argues that he can't walk
1:06:12
and even with the surgery he doesn't know if.
1:06:14
Johnny yells quiet and tells him these words are meaningless and
1:06:18
so it's time to get out of bed and do something.
1:06:20
He tells him he's not a kid anymore so get out of bed and
1:06:22
crawl or use his teeth if he has to and do whatever it takes.
1:06:26
He's going to be beside him because he will always be his
1:06:28
teacher so go get the phone. Miguel tries but falls out of
1:06:33
his bed and out of his head. Oops.
1:06:37
Johnny tells him he felt like a champ and calls for a nurse to
1:06:41
help. Oh shit, you're probably like a
1:06:46
champ though, good for you. You, you, you got this.
1:06:50
No. OK, all right get up.
1:06:53
Next scene we see Robbie coming back to his bed only to be
1:06:55
teased at some more by Sean who has ripped up his book.
1:06:57
A correctional officer tells Robbie somewhere someone is here
1:07:01
to see him and he asks and as he walks over to visitation area,
1:07:04
Creed looks up at him and calls him Son.
1:07:06
You fucking asshole. Daniel and Kumiko are having
1:07:11
water at a bar. Yumiko tells him what her aunt
1:07:14
used to tell her and what that was.
1:07:16
Put good out into the world and goodwill come back to you.
1:07:19
Daniel says he could definitely use a little good right now.
1:07:22
She tells him everything with his business being unfinished
1:07:25
will work out. She knows it will.
1:07:26
Daniel smiles at Umico and didn't drink their water until
1:07:30
conversation is interrupted by his old rival Chosen.
1:07:33
Daniel gets triggered. Daniel gets triggered and
1:07:36
flooded with memories of him getting beaten up and almost
1:07:38
killed on Karate Kid too. I love that line that she said,
1:07:44
though. Put good out into the world and
1:07:46
goodwill come back. Goodwill come back.
1:07:48
Yeah, always. I like that.
1:07:49
Always. Zoom in on Daniel's face, he
1:07:53
says chosen and the show ends. Did you see it?
1:07:58
He was ready to fight, too, Danielle.
1:08:00
Yeah. He had his guard up.
1:08:01
He had his. Yeah.
1:08:02
He was like, oh shit. He almost killed him like oh
1:08:07
God, OK I guess we're fighting again huh?
1:08:13
Daniel says kanpai to Kumiko again is cheers in Japanese but
1:08:19
Kumiko says Kari which is cheers in Okinawan.
1:08:24
So both are right and but Kumiko says it in her native Okinawan
1:08:31
language. According to the 20/20/22 book
1:08:36
The Kick Ass Book of Cobra Kai, an official behind the scenes
1:08:39
companion, I must get it. All the outdoor scenes set in
1:08:43
Okinawa were filmed during a 2 day trip to Japan.
1:08:46
The weather was much better on the first day, which was spent
1:08:49
on locations scouting, than on the second actual shooting day.
1:08:52
All the indoor set scenes set in Okinawa were filmed in Atlanta,
1:08:56
GA. I love that.
1:09:01
All right, so my badass scene. Johnny telling Crease he has
1:09:05
three minutes. Really.
1:09:09
Yes. I didn't say I didn't feel there
1:09:11
was a badass scene, but I guess I could see that.
1:09:14
I could see that. It's like, all right, you have 3
1:09:17
minutes. Why?
1:09:18
Because the cop is going to leave in 3 minutes.
1:09:21
You're safe right now, buddy. As soon as that cop leaves and
1:09:24
you're still here, we fighting, I'm killing you.
1:09:29
And he tells him like he fucking threatens him in front of the
1:09:31
cop too. I will kill you.
1:09:34
So if the cop wasn't there, he was.
1:09:38
Who knows what he would have done, but the fact that he.
1:09:41
It would have been a badass scene.
1:09:43
Exactly. Either way he is telling crease
1:09:46
like if you don't, you have 3 minutes and creases just takes
1:09:50
his like, OK, like either way, let's go.
1:09:55
Like he's ready for it. Look all right, let's go then.
1:09:57
But John, he's like, don't know we're going to be cool about
1:10:00
this. Johnny come back and Johnny's
1:10:03
still upset with him about everything that's gone down and
1:10:06
see them too. He has every right to be.
1:10:09
He has every right to be as he should be.
1:10:11
But you know, if you don't get out of here within 3 minutes,
1:10:14
after three minutes I'm going to kill you.
1:10:17
Like that's his way of threatening him.
1:10:20
Like you have 3 minutes. Like, not because I don't want
1:10:24
to hear you. No, I will.
1:10:26
There's a cop right there and I don't want to fucking go to
1:10:28
jail. So as soon as that cop leaves,
1:10:30
you're dead. So.
1:10:32
Yeah, and it's like more like at least three to four minutes.
1:10:38
But either way, what's your badass scene?
1:10:41
I did not feel there was one. Oh, what?
1:10:45
Yeah, but I no, I don't think there was one.
1:10:49
Not in this episode. Not really, no.
1:10:51
Not even the soccer. Not even I knew you.
1:10:54
Were going to say that. See, I figured you thought I
1:10:57
would say the soccer scene. You know me Not maybe, but I was
1:11:03
disappointed that we didn't get to see flashbacks of the soccer
1:11:06
scene from Karate Kid one. So yeah, there's that.
1:11:11
But yeah, I guess I suppose if I had to choose one, maybe the
1:11:17
soccer scene. Maybe.
1:11:18
But I have a favorite scene. Favorite thing?
1:11:24
What was it? What was the letter?
1:11:27
The letter. Her reading Mr. Miyagi's letter,
1:11:29
Last letter, yes. Yes.
1:11:32
Yes, that got me. That was a nice thing.
1:11:37
I thought so. The ending to that whole episode
1:11:42
where he just zoomed in on his face.
1:11:45
Chosen is there, but why is he there?
1:11:48
We find out in the next episode. But still like this man tried to
1:11:51
kill them. Like why is he there?
1:11:53
Like why is he still alive? I did I love, I loved that that
1:11:57
was AI don't want to say cliffhanger because it wasn't a
1:12:01
cliffhanger from the whole season, but it was a cliffhanger
1:12:08
for the episode. I love.
1:12:09
I liked that I really did because I was like, Oh my God,
1:12:12
what's going to happen? I need to watch it right now so.
1:12:15
Yeah. And this is a part right here
1:12:17
where like, OK, this is going to leave US1 anymore, let's go view
1:12:21
the next episode. Quick, hurry up, press the next
1:12:24
episode and see what happens and then.
1:12:26
Oh, this is in episode 5 yet? Because usually episode 5 is
1:12:28
where the build up. We always get that build up as
1:12:31
episode 5. We've we've come to find out so
1:12:34
far this is this was only episode 4.
1:12:37
So episode 5 I don't honestly remember what happened but now
1:12:42
I'm wondering so I can't see. Final thoughts on this episode
1:12:52
Like it is it? Is it top five or lower 10?
1:13:00
I I wouldn't say it was probably my top five.
1:13:03
No, no, no. OK, no.
1:13:07
Good. It was good.
1:13:09
It definitely was good. Better than the last episode,
1:13:12
but it's not my top five, no. Like I said last episode, I said
1:13:17
it was like point A to point B. Same thing with this episode.
1:13:20
We're going from point A to point B.
1:13:22
We go to Japan, but he doesn't get the the outcome that he
1:13:29
wanted. So he goes to Okinawa to find
1:13:31
answers. He get the answers here.
1:13:33
And, you know, we, we see a lot of flashbacks, We see a lot of
1:13:38
throwbacks. Callbacks.
1:13:40
From Karate Kid one and two, I love that.
1:13:45
I love that we got to see like a lot of scenes from Karate Kid
1:13:48
two, Yumiko, Kumiko, actually Kumiko doing the whole
1:13:54
flashback. Also, it's like Oh my God,
1:13:55
Daniel and Daniel's all like Oh my God, Kumiko and.
1:14:01
I love that she's in this episode too because I liked her
1:14:04
so I love that they brought her back.
1:14:07
And I feel like if Daniel wasn't married he like go back and they
1:14:12
would they would have gone back together.
1:14:14
They would have rekindled like Miyagi and her aunt.
1:14:20
Absolutely. Yuki Yuki.
1:14:23
Aunt Yuki. Yes, yes.
1:14:27
And a lot of that is like, I enjoyed it.
1:14:30
I was a fifth on the fifth one, the 5th episode, like, fine.
1:14:34
I was like, yeah, I really like this one, Top five, but #5 not
1:14:39
calling it, not calling it yet. Like maybe my top, maybe six,
1:14:45
maybe A6 or A5. Yeah, that's that's what I'm
1:14:48
kind of thinking like 6 for me. We're still on episode 4, right?
1:14:53
Yeah, we're only on four, so that's why it's right there.
1:14:58
Six more episodes to go. We'll see.
1:15:03
I I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the the whole
1:15:05
throwback and the back and Daniel getting all like Oh my
1:15:11
God chosen. Do you have a, do you have a, a
1:15:20
thought, I mean a question for anybody?
1:15:22
You didn't mention a question. Do you have one?
1:15:24
No, I don't do you for. Audience, is there a question
1:15:26
for this members questions? I don't know.
1:15:29
That's what I was wondering if you had one.
1:15:35
I almost like want to think something to do or I was
1:15:38
thinking maybe, I don't know. I feel like there's one or two
1:15:42
there. I just can't think of them like
1:15:44
with this episode, like maybe if you had something to do, if you
1:15:53
had to do something over like what would it be type thing like
1:15:58
or I don't know. That's kind of what I was
1:16:00
thinking like with Danielle and Kumiko.
1:16:05
Yeah, Kumiko. Keep calling him Yumiko.
1:16:08
It's Kumiko. I apologize.
1:16:09
Kumiko. Kumiko.
1:16:11
Kumiko. Yes.
1:16:12
Kumiko. Her saying that her aunt used to
1:16:19
say put if you put out. Good in the world?
1:16:25
Good out into the world and good.
1:16:26
We'll come back to you. I love that stuff.
1:16:29
The bartender saying that everyone is always with us.
1:16:34
No, everyone always. Actually it was not with us.
1:16:38
It was they speak to us, they speak even when they are gone,
1:16:44
they speak to us. So there's signs they speak to
1:16:46
us, which is what happened when Kumiko read that letter.
1:16:51
And that's what Daniel needed. Yes.
1:16:57
Maybe that would be a question, do you, do people feel that even
1:17:01
if you're gone that they're still, they still speak to us
1:17:05
possibly. Possibly.
1:17:08
I'm still with that. OK.
1:17:19
Are we good? All right, We're good.
1:17:23
I'm ending. Yeah.
1:17:24
I'm ending us Dad's going to do it for this episode.
