  Is I thought it was lazy. Is it?
• 6:48
  I thought it was Legends. Yeah, we really need to.
• 6:53
  Cast members of Kovakai are not in it so I'm like really not
• 6:57
  interested until I see a better another version of the trailer
• 7:01
  where like they're actually in it but it's just Danny.
• 7:05
  Well, Danny, of course, yeah. And Jet Lee or is it the other
• 7:09

  Jackie Chan OK, well, yeah, I didn't like that movie, so.
• 7:16
  No, I did. That doesn't count.
• 7:18
  No, I mean, I know you're talking about that movie doesn't
• 7:21
  count. I guess.
• 7:26
  Oh well. So if you guys want to go back
• 7:32
  and listen to old our old episodes of Cobra Kai from the
• 7:35
  first episode, go back and check out episode 154 and then
• 7:38
  continue on from there. And where are we right now?
• 7:40
  2O2. 2O2. 2O2 There's been a lot of episodes of Cobra Kai and
• 7:48
  well, not a lot. It was like we did like 3 of
• 7:51
  three season 3, three episodes, one app, yeah.
• 7:56
  We've done Four Seasons. Is that what you're trying to
• 7:58
  say? All right, I really need to stop
• 8:02
  eating before I get on here. The itis is coming up.
• 8:09
  I'm falling asleep already. I'm kidding.
• 8:11
  No, tonight's episode, Season 4, episode 9 The Fall, which which
• 8:17
  got a rating of 8.9 on IMDb. Really.
• 8:23
  Yeah. That's like.
• 8:25
  All the all the the later episodes in the seasons do get a
• 8:31
  pair rating because they're like, oh, I can't wait to find
• 8:33
  out what happened. Well, we talked about that
• 8:36
  before way back how there were certain writers that the
• 8:41
  ratings, right there was a particular writer, I believe.
• 8:45
  Yeah. Or director, writer.
• 8:47
  Writer. Yeah, yeah.
• 8:48
  That was getting the higher ratings and I could see it for
• 8:53
  this episode because it left it us.
• 8:54
  It left it on a freaking cliffhanger and it wasn't even
• 8:57
  the season finale. So that's all I'll say right
• 8:59
  now. It did what now?
• 9:01
  It left us on a cliffhanger. What do you mean what?
• 9:05
  Now What? I I thought you said something
• 9:07
  else. Nevermind.
• 9:08
  I thought you said it. Cliffhanger.
• 9:10
  It left it us. But it left us cliffhanger, Sir.
• 9:16
  Does. Yeah.
• 9:17
  Cliffhanger. No, that's what I said.
• 9:19
  It left us on a cliffhanger. I saw that right.
• 9:23
  It left us on a cliffhanger it. Left on a cliffhanger.
• 9:26
  And left on a cliffhanger. Yes.
• 9:29
  Sid Mosses. The three dojos square off
• 9:32
  against each other at the All Valley as his friends against
• 9:35
  former friend on the mat. And some will rise and some will
• 9:37
  fall. Carrie Underwood provides a
• 9:40
  musical assist. Daniel learns an unpleasant
• 9:42
  truth about how his daughter Sam has been training.
• 9:47
  This episode was written by Michael Jonathan Smith, who also
• 9:50
  wrote all the final episodes for past seasons.
• 9:52
  Season 1 episode 8 molting season 2 episode 9 foolpo season
• 9:57
  3 episode 4 the right path and episode 9 field tonight and on
• 10:00
  this season he also wrote episode 3 then learn fly and
• 10:05
  this episode is also directed by Josh hill.
• 10:07
  Of course, one of the creators of the show and the end of the
• 10:09
  three always end up doing the first and final episodes of the
• 10:12
  shows, so these episodes are in good hands.
• 10:20
  Yeah. Carrie Underwood.
• 10:24
  Were you expecting that Carrie Underwood?
• 10:26
  I mean, I was a rewatch, but I wasn't either.
• 10:30
  I was like, what? Why would they pick?
• 10:33
  I mean, I I like Carrie Underwood, but why for Cobra
• 10:38
  Kai? She's.
• 10:39
  Just. I'm waiting.
• 10:43
  Well, I was just waiting for like a wrestling reference from
• 10:45
  you. Like that's like picking
• 10:46
  something for wrestling. I don't know.
• 10:49
  No, it's like really like, I mean, they have it on UFC also.
• 10:53
  It's not just wrestling. It's like, yeah, the all values
• 10:57
  like this karate Super Bowl, they just needed like a whole
• 11:03
  halftime show. And that's Carrie Underwood.
• 11:05
  I guess somebody like the Western all Valley, you know,
• 11:15
  California stuff and then you get somebody from Oklahoma like
• 11:18
  what I just. Yeah, she even says it in there.
• 11:21
  She's like, I've never. I growing up in Oklahoma, I
• 11:24
  don't watch much karate, so why would you like.
• 11:29
  All right, I don't know. She just wanted to be on the
• 11:32
  show, you know that. OK intro, cold open.
• 11:39
  Daryl introduces the 51st annual All Valley tournament.
• 11:42
  He introduces the three main dojos, Miyagido.
• 11:44
  And then he says, still the most badass name for a Dojo, Cooper
• 11:47
  Kai, and we need to do the defending champion and the new
• 11:49
  Dojo, Eagle Fan Karate. There's a montage of them
• 11:52
  working out at the warehouse in a rocky style moment.
• 11:57
  Makeshift. I don't know, stuff like the
• 12:05
  makeshift rowboat from Devin The what?
• 12:09
  Were they picking up some dumbbells that look like
• 12:12
  dumbbells or wearing dumbbells is all, all crazy stuff.
• 12:16
  And Johnny's like, yeah, yeah, that's badass.
• 12:18
  Of course, he finally tells the audience that one of the three
• 12:23
  can be Grand Champion. Daniel and Johnny talks to
• 12:26
  respective students to get ready for the tournament, warning them
• 12:30
  if either JoJo falls that would be it for them due to Cobra Kai
• 12:34
  stipulation. Like they want them out.
• 12:39
  Johnny pulls Miguel aside to talk about the fight at
• 12:41
  Stingrays after party. He tells him about his
• 12:44
  experiences during prom and as it regained focus and make up
• 12:48
  with Sam. Later, Creed and Silver talk to
• 12:50
  their students about not letting history repeat itself and Silver
• 12:52
  tells them to follow Creed's orders to win.
• 12:58
  Didn't we? Like, I guess it's been a while.
• 13:03
  It's like a long while, 2-3 months ago maybe, but.
• 13:07
  Yeah, and I honestly did not watch episode 8 again.
• 13:11
  So like I didn't, I just went jumped right into episode 9.
• 13:14
  So they. Didn't either.
• 13:16
  But the fact that Crease not Crease Silver, we open up on
• 13:23
  Silver, you know, not answering Crease's phone call, not wanting
• 13:28
  to do anything about and do this at all.
• 13:30
  And then here episode 9, we're at everything Crease says follow
• 13:35
  it right now. Do it.
• 13:36
  He he knows what's best. He's manipulative.
• 13:39
  Yeah. I don't know who I dislike more,
• 13:47
  crease or silver. Silver.
• 13:49
  Crease or silver? Yeah, I don't know which one I
• 13:51
  don't like more. That's funny.
• 13:56
  They're both evil. Yeah, oh cool, Menace says hi.
• 14:15
  You see? Hi, Menace.
• 14:16
  No, all I see is what we're on. There chat in there, no on your
• 14:23
  butt, on your side. Oh, in here.
• 14:27
  Yeah, in here. Well if she can't see it in
• 14:30
  here, she's on YouTube also. So she's watching.
• 14:33
  It from YouTube. I can't see YouTube.
• 14:35
  OK. It's like, and there is AI want
• 14:39
  to say a 32nd delay from here to YouTube.
• 14:44
  So like minutes we'll see it like in 30 seconds later.
• 14:49
  Like hi, it is 9 O 5:00 PM and just let us know what time you
• 14:54
  you get to this part right here. OK, thank you.
• 14:57
  All right, where were we? The 1st event of the tournament
• 15:04
  is the skills competition. Miyagido Cobra Kai and Eagle
• 15:08
  Fang each show off different skills in the skills
• 15:11
  competition. Do they really?
• 15:15
  Miyagido students Dmitry and Sam show off their weapon skills
• 15:18
  while Chris and Eli demonstrated their board breaking skills.
• 15:21
  Korverkai and Ego Fang also show off their festive skills such as
• 15:23
  weapons combination and board breaking.
• 15:26
  In the end, Korverkai wins the skills portion of the
• 15:28
  tournament, probably because Robbie decided to yell.
• 15:36
  Miyagi though comes in 2nd and Ego Fang falls to 6th place.
• 15:40
  Korverkai's victory gives them an early lead for the title
• 15:43
  after Eli Podulis for not breaking the last board, but
• 15:46
  Daniel tells them that they are close with Korverkai for the
• 15:49
  lead. Johnny is mad at the area in
• 15:51
  six, but Devin explains a point progress and they need to win
• 15:54
  each one-on-one match to catch up.
• 15:56
  Johnny doesn't care about the math, he just wants to win, but
• 15:59
  Devin says yes math. She says the further we get the
• 16:04
  tighter device around Cobra Kai's metaphorical balls.
• 16:07
  Johnny says OK, good, now you're speaking my language.
• 16:10
  I love that part. I just thought that part was
• 16:13
  funny. The interaction with them was
• 16:14
  funny all. Right, thank you man.
• 16:16
  This is, she says, 7 O 5:00 PM. We somehow got went back in time
• 16:24
  and so it's a 32nd delay. I was going to say about 30
• 16:28
  seconds. Yeah, I don't see.
• 16:29
  Unfortunately, when I go to the chat, there's nothing there.
• 16:32
  Here, Grammy Award artist Carrie Underwood is interviewed by Ron.
• 16:38
  Exciting Moon Carmen Amanda the rest of the committee is shocked
• 16:42
  that Ron was able to get the big name celebrity perform before
• 16:45
  the qualifiers Kerry explains about her competitive nature and
• 16:48
  everyone has their moment and performs competitive nature
• 16:51
  because not many people know this because she was on American
• 16:56
  Idol well everybody everybody knows it by now that's.
• 17:01
  The first star. Right, all the dojos competing
• 17:06
  the one-on-one matches. When Carrie performed rock band
• 17:09
  Survivor song The Moment of Truth, John Hurwitz spoke of
• 17:15
  Carrie under was present on saying on set, saying Carrie was
• 17:18
  absolutely amazing on set. It was a joy having her join us
• 17:20
  and seeing her just as starstruck by our cast as they
• 17:24
  were by her. He added that they knew Carrie
• 17:26
  was a big fan series alongside her family since her original
• 17:31
  tweet praising the series when it hit Netflix.
• 17:33
  They figured we'd shoot for the moon and see if she'd like to
• 17:36
  come and play. They needed a well known singer
• 17:39
  who could cover Survivor's Moment of Truth, which was the
• 17:42
  end credits song from the original Karate Kid movie, and
• 17:47
  simultaneously shocked the All Badly cry by simply appearing.
• 17:50
  Carrie team immediately responded by saying she would
• 17:53
  love to appear. That's awesome.
• 17:55
  OK, I like that story. All right, I'm sorry for giving
• 18:00
  shit that she was the one picked.
• 18:02
  There you go. Like the back story there.
• 18:05
  Carrie Underwood singing Survivor's Moment of Truth means
• 18:07
  that she would be aware of the actual fictional movie.
• 18:10
  That Karate Kid within this show and based upon the show's
• 18:13
  fictional universe, says that song is in the original movie.
• 18:16
  It would be like the detention students in The Breakfast Club
• 18:19
  singing Don't You Forget About Me by the Simple Mind in
• 18:22
  detention. OK.
• 18:28
  I don't know. I was like, OK.
• 18:31
  Yeah, you don't look very, I don't know, impressive.
• 18:34
  It would have been something else, not that part, something
• 18:37
  else. Maybe Purple Rain, Because he
• 18:44
  doesn't. Rain.
• 18:44
  Really. Hell no.
• 18:46
  The 300 X's that appear in the scene had no idea Carrie
• 18:49
  Underwood was appearing, making their reactions real.
• 18:53
  Carrie hung around set for hours to take photos and talk to
• 18:55
  everyone. Also, Aiden Minks, you know that
• 19:01
  is right. That sounds very familiar.
• 19:05
  Penis breath. Oh, OK.
• 19:08
  There you go. Aiden Minks didn't know who
• 19:16
  Carrie Underwood was until he saw everyone else taking
• 19:19
  pictures, so he figured he better do it because she seemed
• 19:22
  like a pretty big deal. Wow.
• 19:25
  Yeah, that is though. You shouldn't have done it then.
• 19:28
  Dude, don't worry about it. All good.
• 19:31
  Carrie Underwood says it wasn't just a dream for fans, but for
• 19:36
  Carrie too, since it's one of her favorite shows.
• 19:39
  I grew up watching Daniel and Johnny and I can't believe I
• 19:41
  actually get to be a small part of the legacy that is The Karate
• 19:44
  Kid. She tweeted about her adoration
• 19:46
  for the series in 2020, which caught the intention of creators
• 19:49
  Josh Held, John Herwit and Hayden Schlossberg.
• 19:52
  They weren't sure it would make it would come together to have
• 19:55
  her singing in the OL Valley, but it was a match made in
• 19:58
  heaven. Didn't use the song They're the
• 20:00
  Best that played during the 1984 film in the OL Valley Karate
• 20:03
  Tournament as they felt it would be a copycat of the movie.
• 20:06
  They chose the Moment of Truth because it still has the same
• 20:09
  1980 sports rock anthem vibe. See, I was I was thinking they
• 20:14
  should have played that other song, but that makes sense.
• 20:17
  The the best around. Is that what it is?
• 20:19
  Yeah, and the feeling the best around was for that moment, and
• 20:26
  the moment that was rude. Well.
• 20:28
  The best around wasn't that. That was the original Karate Kid
• 20:33
  when he was competing, right? That was the song.
• 20:37
  Yeah, that's what I was like. I felt like they should have
• 20:42
  done that. I don't know if she could have
• 20:45
  sang it, but they should have done that one.
• 20:47
  Her choosing the moment of truth is like, OK, I've loved karate
• 20:52
  since the 80s, so let me do a karate song.
• 20:56
  Let me do a song about the 80s that is sports rock anthem vibe
• 21:03
  and moment of truth. Is it in another universe?
• 21:09
  Moment of truth isn't in it, like isn't in The Karate Kid.
• 21:13
  But here it's like like in this universe, basically moment of
• 21:18
  truth. They saw in the movie about I
• 21:23
  don't know what was the alternative to karate at the
• 21:26
  time, boxing. She probably saw it on the Rocky
• 21:30
  movie. Oh.
• 21:32
  There you go, Rocky. Yeah.
• 21:33
  They're the best around. It's probably in the Rocky movie
• 21:36
  in this universe. OK, what was that Robbie's
• 21:42
  middle name? Swayze.
• 21:45
  Swayze. Roadhouse.
• 21:46
  Probably in Roadhouse. Yeah, I wonder theories there.
• 21:53
  There you go. Hey, Leanne was in here too.
• 21:58
  Hi. We have a back house.
• 22:02
  Oh, shit. I just didn't realize this would
• 22:04
  work. But all right, it's working all
• 22:08
  right. Sam tells Daniel that Dimitri
• 22:12
  won in him, her and Hawk advanced to the quarterfinals.
• 22:15
  Daniel adds that they are still second in these Chris to win his
• 22:18
  match. Unfortunately, he loses to his
• 22:20
  opponent Kyler when he uses Miyagido.
• 22:23
  Daniel watches the next matches where he is upset that Cover Kai
• 22:26
  utilized his teaching, and he and Sam conclude that it was his
• 22:29
  former student Robbie who taught them their secrets.
• 22:34
  Miguel beats his opponent while Tory beats Devin, causing Eagle
• 22:37
  Fang to be eliminated from the girls division.
• 22:40
  Devin tells Johnny that she'll come back stronger next year.
• 22:42
  She adds that Eagle Fang has a chance of winning if Miguel wins
• 22:44
  the boys division and the other girls next get eliminated as a
• 22:48
  quarterfinal. Daniel confronts Robbie about
• 22:50
  teaching Miyagido to Corporate Kai.
• 22:52
  Robbie tells his former sunset that his goal is to win.
• 22:55
  Daniel chastises him, saying he never learned anything in
• 22:57
  Miyagido if his only goal is to victory.
• 23:00
  He has the conversation stating another Miyagido secret.
• 23:03
  Don't put passion over principle.
• 23:05
  Even if you win, you lose. Miguel advance to the next round
• 23:09
  and so does Tori, who beats Devin.
• 23:12
  How you said that, Johnny, Johnny there.
• 23:16
  There's this part right here. Johnny consoles Devin after she
• 23:18
  loses to Tori by saying Tori's been doing this a lot longer and
• 23:21
  that there's no shame in losing to whichever responds by saying
• 23:24
  she's only been doing this for six weeks so of course she's not
• 23:28
  upset. This is a tongue in cheek joke
• 23:31
  about how it was unrealistic that Daniel could have beat John
• 23:34
  in the 1st movie after only 6 to 8 weeks of training.
• 23:43
  Yep. Very unrealistic.
• 23:45
  So for the sake of the movie and for the sake of cover Kai the
• 23:48
  first season when he took Robbie to the lake and suddenly he's in
• 23:55
  the freaking finals of the Old Valley, Kyler tells Eli.
• 24:07
  Kyler tells Eli that Dimitri is lucky he isn't fighting Cobra
• 24:10
  Kai and calls him Lip. Moon approaches him and tells
• 24:13
  Eli to ignore him. She tells him that Eli isn't a
• 24:16
  bully, but Eli tells her that he doesn't know who he is.
• 24:19
  Moon adds that even if she admired his Mohawk, she liked
• 24:21
  Eli for his energy and confidence, and the two kiss,
• 24:25
  rekindling their relationship. Inspired, Eli tells Daniel he
• 24:29
  knows who he is and easily defeats Kyler.
• 24:33
  Up in the stands, Carmen is trying to take some notches from
• 24:35
  her mom's plate, but yeah yeah, says she has some munchies.
• 24:38
  Call back to Season 1 when she showed up at the All Valley High
• 24:41
  as well. Yeah, I guess she has to get.
• 24:50
  She was supposed to get high before these competitions.
• 24:52
  Dave, she does. Yeah, I love Moon's pep talk to
• 24:59
  Eli, by the way. Yeah, like, yeah, she did.
• 25:04
  She did get him back into it. And then she, like, delivers her
• 25:07
  kiss. And it's supposed to make
• 25:10
  everything better. OK.
• 25:14
  Oh. She kissed me.
• 25:15
  I'm. I'm.
• 25:17
  I'm saying I. Can do anything now.
• 25:19
  Right, like the Snow White treatment, like she wakes up
• 25:23
  after a kiss from the Prince Charming over here.
• 25:26
  Moon is the Prince Charming and she kisses the freaking guy that
• 25:30
  has lost his ego and then she he gets the biggest kiss and he's
• 25:34
  like oh I can find. Not just his ego, he lost his
• 25:36
  Mohawk too. He lost his mojo, basically.
• 25:40
  His mojo wasn't his Mohawk I think are so he thinks.
• 25:46
  So he thinks Sam and Koverkai rookie Piper face off in the
• 25:53
  quarter finals. Piper scores the first point and
• 25:55
  tell Sam that Robbie revealed it all to them and without their
• 25:58
  defense they have nothing. Sam turns to look at her.
• 26:04
  Sam turns to look at both her son says first Daniel.
• 26:08
  Then she turns to look over at Johnny and goes back on offense
• 26:11
  and defeats her like, and they both agree with her.
• 26:15
  It's like, yes, go ahead. And Johnny's all like, yes, go
• 26:19
  ahead, do it. She advances to the semifinals.
• 26:25
  Daniels cursed with how Sam used Eagle Fang.
• 26:28
  Sam counters with her way is different than her father's.
• 26:32
  Yeah, bitch fucking threw that microphone on his feet.
• 26:39
  Like my my way is different. And yours, Dad, I don't always
• 26:43
  have to be you. She.
• 26:47
  Needs to be herself. And Johnny's all proud.
• 26:50
  He's like, I got you Larusso, I got you.
• 26:57
  Despite being member of the same Dojo, Robbie and Kenya The next
• 27:00
  match in the quarterfinals, Kenny thanks him for being his
• 27:03
  mentor and tells him to not think that he'll go easy.
• 27:06
  After Kenny scores the first point, Crease calls a time out
• 27:09
  where he's upset with Robbie going easy.
• 27:12
  Was he your friend or your enemy today?
• 27:14
  Oh shit. When the flight resumes, Robbie
• 27:18
  now gets aggressive. In the end, Robbie kicks Kenny
• 27:20
  and wins, shocking the audience with his fatality in advance to
• 27:23
  the semifinals. When Kenny goes to the locker
• 27:26
  room, Robbie tries to go after him, but Tori tells him he needs
• 27:28
  to cool off. Yeah, I wouldn't ask.
• 27:34
  Johnny and Danny are both like looking back behind or looking
• 27:37
  from the sidelines. Like how dare you?
• 27:41
  Like no, why would you do that? And Robbies just like whatever
• 27:49
  it takes to win. Danny and Johnny argue about how
• 27:52
  both of their teachings affected Miguel and Sam.
• 27:54
  The two tell each other to stay away from each other.
• 27:57
  In the semifinals, former Cobra Kai and Eagle fan classmates Eli
• 28:00
  and Miguel are the first match. Eli tells Daniel he isn't
• 28:03
  excited to fight his friend, but Dimitri adds that no one has
• 28:05
  beaten Miguel. Sam adds that Johnny has taught
• 28:08
  him how to fight, and Daniel tells him to be patient.
• 28:11
  Johnny on the other hand tells Miguel that he's beaten Eli
• 28:14
  before and takes him out. Miguel tells him that him and
• 28:18
  Eli are friends, but Johnny counter saying that Eli is in
• 28:21
  Miyagido. During the fight, Miguel
• 28:23
  attempts a flying kick but pulls a muscle and collapses, causing
• 28:27
  the fight to be put on pause. Right before the show, face to
• 28:30
  black, Miguel yells out sensei. Do you say pull a muscle?
• 28:38
  He pull a muscle or do you like? I don't.
• 28:41
  We don't know, it just seems a lot more aggressive than pulling
• 28:45
  a muscle. I mean, did you forget about his
• 28:48
  whole? Back.
• 28:50
  Ball from being in a coma and thought wasn't it season 2?
• 28:59
  Season 2 being a coma, dreaming about this moment right here.
• 29:03
  Breaking his back, right? Yeah.
• 29:06
  You think it was a pulled muscle?
• 29:07
  He. Pulled a muscle?
• 29:11
  Well, they make. It look a lot more than just a
• 29:13
  pulled muscle, though. Like everybody's got to be like,
• 29:15
  Oh my God, I was. He should have stretched before
• 29:22
  that before a fight. How do you know he didn't
• 29:25
  stretch? I mean, why didn't he pull this
• 29:29
  muscle when he fought in the first round?
• 29:33
  Because he did the exact same thing.
• 29:34
  Around here. Why did he do this?
• 29:36
  Why did he do that stupid jump twirly thing?
• 29:38
  What the hell was that anyways? He saw his dream, he was
• 29:42
  dreaming about it. This is the fight at the end of
• 29:44
  his dream. And he did that move and he won.
• 29:47
  And he thought, hey, let me do it in the semifinals.
• 29:53
  Is that your theory? And like, yeah, I mean, he, he
• 29:58
  needs, he gets injured, he needs some time off from the show so
• 30:03
  he can go film a movie. So.
• 30:08
  OK. OK Blue Beetle, I'm just saying
• 30:14
  this is also the first on only episode of Cover Kai before the
• 30:17
  scenes finale so far where the credit steam for the show is
• 30:19
  replaced with somber music. It's true.
• 30:21
  Yes. I I noticed that, that it was
• 30:25
  somber music at that, yeah. The music I played during Eli
• 30:29
  and Color All Valley Fight is the same music that's heard when
• 30:31
  the former switches sides and rekindles his friendship with
• 30:34
  Dimitri in December 19th. Yeah, OK, OK.
• 30:40
  All right. There's a lot of badass scenes
• 30:45
  in here. What stood out to?
• 30:47
  You there? There is.
• 30:49
  There is a lot of badass scenes. What stood out to you?
• 30:53
  First one definitely was my was Eli and Kyler.
• 31:00
  That was my first badass favorite badass moment when Eli
• 31:05
  beat him. OK, for sure.
• 31:09
  What about you? The skills competition.
• 31:14
  Really. Yeah, I.
• 31:16
  Mean like the whole just the whole skills competition in
• 31:18
  general or? They could fight and everything
• 31:21
  all at the end of the day is just like cool but damn doing
• 31:25
  the whole the kata the the size the headboard, fucking Kyler
• 31:33
  hitting the bricks with his head.
• 31:36
  Oh, I was. Yeah, yeah, that was kind of
• 31:38
  badass. I was disappointed, though, that
• 31:42
  Eli missed that last kick. I was like, seriously?
• 31:45
  I don't think anybody thinks I've carried under with a badass
• 31:47
  scene, but all right. No, no, he wasn't my no, no.
• 31:54
  No Eli missing, that was. That was disappointing.
• 32:03
  It was like he did lose his mojo though, so he was like him in
• 32:10
  his own head and during the scene and then he finally gets,
• 32:13
  I mean which freaking a moon would have kissed him before
• 32:17
  that? Then he would have won that.
• 32:20
  Right. I could have done it.
• 32:24
  Yeah, where was she? What the hell?
• 32:26
  Oh, rooting on Viper. Did you know was?
• 32:31
  She when she lost, it's all like, Oh well, you're not in the
• 32:34
  game anymore. Sorry kid.
• 32:37
  Wow, Did you notice Tori's face when Sam won?
• 32:45
  Yeah, that was like this bitch. That was epic with that.
• 32:49
  With my shot, they shot the camera to her face or the camera
• 32:53
  went to her face and I was like, oh hell no.
• 32:55
  That was awesome it. Was final thought.
• 33:06
  I think that it was really stupid that they put it left
• 33:08
  that on a cliffhanger and not being the season finale.
• 33:15
  Another injury for Miguel to be the season finale.
• 33:18
  No but like why would they do that?
• 33:21
  I was like why do they have to stop this here?
• 33:23
  That's not how it's supposed to end.
• 33:25
  I guess. I don't remember any of the
• 33:27
  other seasons having a cliffhanger like that before the
• 33:32
  last episode that I can remember.
• 33:35
  I mean always the last episode but never the one before.
• 33:38
  But then again it's been a while so I don't.
• 33:40
  I don't know, I might need a refresher.
• 33:43
  Trying to find season 2 ending what?
• 33:50
  Season 2 ending. That's where he is in a coma.
• 33:53
  Yeah, hold on. But that was the ending.
• 33:56
  Season 2 got no mercy, got 9.4. What about Season 3?
• 34:04
  Season 3 ending that got a 9.4. Oh, do you know that what the
• 34:14
  for this one is? This one is 8.9 the fall.
• 34:17
  Is a step of stone. I mean the next episode, the
• 34:20
  season finale of this one. 9.3. Really.
• 34:24
  OK. So all the.
• 34:29
  All of them have been 9/9. Season one 9.1.
• 34:34
  Season two 9.4. Season three 9.4.
• 34:38
  Season 49.3 and then. Season 5. 9.3 and then season 6
• 34:50
  episode ten. 9.1 Just really so even though every other episode
• 34:57
  sucked the next few seasons, the last the last episode of the
• 35:02
  seasons are like oh. We did.
• 35:04
  We're going to have to do better than that.
• 35:06
  And they did. They did better.
• 35:08
  Yeah, yeah, that is true. That is true, Yes.
• 35:16
  I honestly do not remember how this season ends.
• 35:19
  It's been too long. Yeah, I mean, so all I know is
• 35:23
  that Miguel goes somewhere he like.
• 35:27
  Oh. Is it?
• 35:30
  This one. That's no.
• 35:33
  Oh, never mind. That's not what I was thinking.
• 35:38
  So final thoughts, like would it, did it hold up that you
• 35:43
  like? Yeah, yeah.
• 35:45
  I, I, I liked, I liked the flash.
• 35:49
  Not they didn't have very many, but I kind of like the
• 35:51
  flashbacks in the beginning with Daniel Flash, you know, going
• 35:57
  back to him fighting when they did that.
• 36:00
  I like that. I wish they would have had a
• 36:02
  little bit more in there, I guess.
• 36:04
  But the episode was really good overall.
• 36:10
  Carrie didn't make it anything spectacular or anything, but it
• 36:15
  was. Still good to fight the fact it
• 36:18
  was like you could have done, could have done without Carrie
• 36:21
  Underwood in there, but still like, alright, I.
• 36:23
  Feel like they were feeling like filling some time or something
• 36:27
  like filling space. I don't know like.
• 36:30
  Let's put this girl from Oklahoma who loves karate
• 36:35
  apparently into. The IT doesn't see much of it.
• 36:38
  The the the universe. They should have bought someone
• 36:44
  else. I don't know.
• 36:46
  Oh. I don't know, but not Carrie
• 36:48
  Underwood. Like if somebody is saying that,
• 36:53
  I was like, all right, but like if it was like a celebrity judge
• 36:58
  or a celebrity cameo, just in case, Chuck Norris would have
• 37:01
  been fine. Jackie Chan would have been
• 37:03
  fine. Will Smith Hey, I'm a producer
• 37:06
  of the show would have been fine you.
• 37:10
  Might as well have just brought in fucking Simon Cowell or
• 37:13
  something. Like.
• 37:15
  Why Carrie Underwood? I'm saying like, why Carrie
• 37:18
  Underwood? I mean, you might as well have
• 37:20
  brought in Simon. Yeah.
• 37:22
  Howie Mandel. I don't know.
• 37:24
  Oh. My I, I liked it.
• 37:29
  I I enjoyed it. It was fun.
• 37:31
  It was a good episode. All Carrie Underwood things like
• 37:34
  it's out of place. Yeah.
• 37:38
  But OK, I guess it's like you're fine.
• 37:40
  You should feed on the first season.
• 37:43
  Hey, when can I get on the show? I mean you, you said the reason
• 37:50
  behind it, so I get it. I.
• 37:52
  Guess she tweeted them. It's like, hey, great show.
• 37:56
  Cool. And the 300 experts didn't know
• 37:58
  that she was going to be there. Aiden Minx is all like, hey, who
• 38:03
  are you? OK, I guess.
• 38:12
  Everyone was great. I liked I loved it.
• 38:17
  Eli got his mojo back with a kiss Moon and made a hard
• 38:26
  choice. Go with either hard choice, made
• 38:31
  a hard choice, you know, like stick with Eli Herman or you
• 38:35
  know, check in on Piper, see how she's doing.
• 38:38
  But you know, hey, she's with the wrong team.
• 38:42
  Yeah. Samantha flipped the script,
• 38:48
  flipped it. She flipped it and decided to
• 38:52
  use Eagle Fan Karate instead of just like defense.
• 38:55
  She went for offense, but. That's how she won.
• 38:58
  Yeah, and then Robbie beat the hell out of Kenny.
• 39:04
  No, he brought him in. Hey.
• 39:06
  Hey, little man. Like, I'm a friend of your
• 39:09
  brother. Let me let me help you out, OK.
• 39:11
  Like, yeah, yeah, OK. Come on.
• 39:12
  Come on. Yeah, You can join Karakai.
• 39:15
  You're like, yeah, cool. All right, cool.
• 39:16
  So Kenny's all has an eagle now, like, yeah, let's do this, all
• 39:19
  right. And then he is like fucking
• 39:20
  kicked his ass and. Like and then he ran away
• 39:23
  crying. Like a scared little puppies
• 39:26
  like. Totally ran away crying like my.
• 39:30
  Alpha beat my ass. I was like, sorry man.
• 39:38
  It's it's freaking Crease's fault and.
• 39:41
  It's like, dude, come on, you're, you're going to let this
• 39:44
  little fucking punk beat you? No, he's not your friend right
• 39:48
  now. Beat his ass.
• 39:49
  You're better than that. That's what you told him like.
• 39:53
  And meanwhile over there, what's his face?
• 39:56
  Silver's all like Damn, you're fucked up.
• 40:01
  Who like all the better for him to like do what he did in the
• 40:04
  next episode basically. Yeah.
• 40:09
  Cuz like, he's such an asshole. All right.
• 40:16
  Good, Good episode. Good episode, Great episode.
