Episode 154 - Backdrops in Backlots - Cobra Kai · My Third Place Pod

• 0:38
  Welcome back to my third place network.
• 0:41
  I am your host EVO and this is another awesome episode coming
• 0:45
  to you from under the apron. As you heard on our last
• 0:50
  episode, I had a few friends on the pod on the Potty Pod menace
• 0:55
  as he all knew as a friend of the show and that was her 11th
• 0:59
  episode that she has graced us with since I passed her on in
• 1:03
  2022. I want to keep that going.
• 1:06
  I want to keep this momentum going and just bring friends
• 1:09
  along on the show. Some you may know, others you
• 1:12
  are going to get to know and meet.
• 1:15
  My next guest is a dear friend of mine, the show as well as
• 1:19
  mine. She's been supportive ever since
• 1:21
  the start of 2022 and I've been wanting to get all those
• 1:24
  supported on the show to get to know them more.
• 1:28
  She's been listening since episode one, I believe, and
• 1:31
  although although she has very limited knowledge of wrestling,
• 1:36
  she still decided to watch WrestleMania 40 with us.
• 1:41
  We're not going to ask her some of those questions just yet, but
• 1:44
  I did ask her if she wanted to do either do music, movies or TV
• 1:48
  shows. And she chose something that we
• 1:51
  both love and enjoy. And that is the Netflix series
• 1:55
  of Cobra Kai. That's right, we are doing the
• 1:58
  Cobra Kai fandom. So welcome everybody, for the
• 2:02
  first time. You all usually hear her name at
• 2:06
  the end when I'm shouting out the supporters.
• 2:08
  Here's the High Queen herself. Please welcome Brandy.
• 2:14
  Brandy, how you doing? I'm great.
• 2:16
  How are you? I'm great.
• 2:18
  I'm glad you're here. Finally.
• 2:20
  Well. Thank you for having me.
• 2:22
  Yes, thank you for stopping in. Thank you for hanging out with
• 2:25
  me. Thank you for bringing Cobra Kai
• 2:28
  to the forefront again and be like, hey, let's watch it, let's
• 2:31
  let's take a gander at it again. Yes, we have to do that with the
• 2:36
  new ones coming. Oh yeah, I was thinking of
• 2:39
  bringing back an old segment backdropped in the back lot and
• 2:42
  Brandy brought up the idea that we could discuss Cobra Kai, but
• 2:46
  we weren't sure when we're going to start.
• 2:48
  But we just knew we wanted to do season six.
• 2:51
  Well, we wanted to do it before season six came out.
• 2:54
  And then the update came out about season 6.
• 2:56
  And here's what we know so far. Season six will come out as
• 3:00
  three parts. Part one is set for July 18th,
• 3:03
  2024, that's in a few months. Part 2 is set for November 24th,
• 3:08
  2024. And part three?
• 3:11
  If they do the four months apart, then we'll out in March
• 3:15
  of 2025. Each part will have 5 episodes,
• 3:20
  Part one will have five, Part 2 will have 5 and part three will
• 3:22
  have five. We are getting a total of 15
• 3:26
  episodes for season 6. How do you feel about that?
• 3:31
  I'm freaking excited about that. I was.
• 3:35
  Excited. Also, I mean like 5 episodes for
• 3:40
  July. Wait, why don't just make a
• 3:45
  movie out of it? Yeah, they should.
• 3:51
  That would be a good idea. Every episode is, what, 30
• 3:54
  minutes long? Well, so far they have been.
• 3:58
  So far they have been. Who knows what they'll throw at
• 4:01
  us with the new ones? Right, so they're changing it
• 4:05
  for 15 episodes. Might as well change it to an
• 4:07
  hour episode. 45 minutes episode maybe you know, But the whole
• 4:13
  thing, Part one, Part 2 and part three, make a movie.
• 4:18
  Just make a movie already that we like.
• 4:21
  They can't do that. They have to leave us with
• 4:23
  cliffhangers. They do, but I'm excited.
• 4:30
  Are like, are you excited? It's not much as much as I'm
• 4:34
  excited because we love Cobra Kai.
• 4:38
  It's been a long time coming. I've been waiting forever for
• 4:42
  this. There's our fandom.
• 4:44
  We love Cobra Kai. So what we're going to do is go
• 4:50
  through all the episodes till we tell you what we thought about
• 4:53
  them. The music, the Easter eggs,
• 4:56
  because there's so many since they referenced back to the
• 4:59
  movies. And for those wondering, we're
• 5:01
  going to go back to the movies as well, possibly around the
• 5:06
  time that the show is on. We're basically going to do the
• 5:09
  same thing I do when I review Heals Glow or any other movies I
• 5:12
  don't show on here. Randy, I must ask you though,
• 5:17
  how did you know about Cobra Kai and how excited were you when it
• 5:22
  first came out put? Me on the spot, I was really
• 5:28
  excited about it. I'll say that because I'm a huge
• 5:31
  I've always been a huge Karate Kid fan.
• 5:34
  So when I heard about this, I was like, what is this about?
• 5:37
  I did not watch it when it was on YouTube.
• 5:40
  I had no idea about that. I didn't know about it until I
• 5:44
  saw it coming on Netflix. And I am the type of person that
• 5:48
  likes to watch trailers, of new things coming out.
• 5:53
  So I saw it that way. I saw it by trailer.
• 5:57
  I saw it was coming to Netflix and I was on it as soon as it
• 6:00
  came out. I I had no clue that it was out
• 6:03
  on YouTube. What 2000?
• 6:06
  When was that? When it came out?
• 6:07
  Two. 1000. 17 2017 18 Yeah, I had no idea.
• 6:14
  So I was all excited. I thought this was like the
• 6:16
  first time it was out. And then come to find out, it
• 6:18
  had already been on YouTube. I'm like, oh man, I missed this
• 6:20
  so long ago. So yeah.
• 6:27
  I was the exact opposite. I, like, knew about it on
• 6:29
  YouTube Premium. And I'm just like, oh, I can't
• 6:32
  wait telling everybody at work, at the casino where I used to
• 6:35
  work at. It's like, oh, did you hear
• 6:37
  about, I'm the only one there that knows about Karate Kid.
• 6:39
  And everybody's all freaking. I don't know if they didn't know
• 6:41
  anything about Korberkai. What's that?
• 6:43
  What's that? It's about The Karate Kid.
• 6:45
  I'm a Karate Kid. I was like, Oh yeah, Ralph
• 6:48
  Macho. Yeah.
• 6:48
  And they're making the show about Karabo Kai.
• 6:50
  And I'm just like telling everybody there and they're just
• 6:52
  like, uh, huh, OK, kid, whatever you say.
• 6:56
  Just like, OK, fine, you know what?
• 6:57
  I'll watch it myself. And then YouTube.
• 7:00
  It came out on YouTube Premium, Premium and YouTube Red.
• 7:06
  YouTube Red was a saying at the time.
• 7:08
  YouTube Red wasn't saying at the time.
• 7:10
  And they're just like, hey, we're going to make a a show
• 7:13
  about Corporate Kai Karate Kid. It's going to be called
• 7:16
  Corporate Kai. And the first episode is free
• 7:19
  and the first two episodes were free.
• 7:21
  And I'm like, yes, I I've been wanting to watch this.
• 7:25
  So I watched the first two episodes for free and then like,
• 7:30
  you know what? Why don't I just start a a a
• 7:36
  freaking a thing there on YouTube Red and then.
• 7:42
  Watch the entire subscription subscription.
• 7:45
  Yeah, why don't we just start a subscription on YouTube Red for
• 7:48
  free? Seven days.
• 7:51
  So just like I gotta, I have. I need seven days to watch this.
• 7:55
  And I did for those seven days. I did it for free and then I
• 7:58
  like, took it off. It's like maybe next year maybe
• 8:00
  they'll come out with you too. Who knows?
• 8:03
  It took you seven days. It took me like, because I was
• 8:07
  watching it at work, like on my phone.
• 8:10
  And I'm just like, I don't want to watch these immediately,
• 8:14
  like, because because of the 10 episodes, I want to watch them
• 8:19
  all right, One, two. And then on the 7th day, I
• 8:22
  watched three episodes and I was done with them.
• 8:24
  I was like, oh man, OK, it's time to get rid of the
• 8:27
  subscription. And I did that.
• 8:29
  It's like, for free. I'm good.
• 8:31
  And then find out that Season 2, I made another account, another
• 8:35
  e-mail address, watched it the same way, and I was at work too.
• 8:39
  So I'm not familiar with YouTube subscriptions.
• 8:41
  Is it the same as Netflix where they roll it out all at the same
• 8:44
  time? Yeah, all at one second.
• 8:48
  Yeah, all at once. And then, But for some reason
• 8:52
  YouTube Red wasn't getting the enough hype or anything at all,
• 8:56
  so they just killed it. I did hear that.
• 8:58
  I didn't know that. Yes.
• 9:00
  So they just killed it. And I'm just like, oh, great,
• 9:03
  That's freaking wonderful. And that's at the end of Season
• 9:07
  2. They didn't know what to do for
• 9:08
  season three. And then, like, I waited for
• 9:11
  three years, two years for it to go on Netflix.
• 9:15
  So, like, yeah, you you like. There were some people that like
• 9:19
  immediately on Netflix. Oh hey, there's a Cobra Kai.
• 9:22
  She didn't wanted 2. That's cool.
• 9:24
  Meanwhile, I waited two years, just the same way as Game of
• 9:26
  Thrones people, you know, they're like, we've waited
• 9:28
  years. I was like, yeah, I know how you
• 9:30
  feel now. Yeah, I've never seen that show,
• 9:34
  so we won't talk about that. Yeah, I don't.
• 9:37
  I've never seen it here. So now I'm going to tell you a
• 9:40
  little story I found on the Wiki Brandy.
• 9:43
  I showed you these two videos that I found.
• 9:45
  Yes, he did. The thematic genesis for Cobra
• 9:49
  Kai began with a few works of pop culture.
• 9:51
  First, the 2007 music video for the song Sweep the Leg by No
• 9:55
  More. King stars William Natka, who
• 9:58
  also directed the video as a caricature of himself as Johnny
• 10:03
  and features references to The Karate Kid, including cameo
• 10:06
  appearances by Satka's former Karate Kid Co stars.
• 10:12
  The other guys get him a body bag and his voice, basically.
• 10:17
  In a 2010 interview, Zapka Jokinglyak discussed this video
• 10:20
  in the context of the vision that Johnny was the true hero of
• 10:24
  the film. Next, in June 2010, Macho
• 10:28
  appeared in Funny or Die online short Waxed on Fock Off, in
• 10:33
  which his Loved ones stage intervention to four turn the
• 10:36
  former child star from a well adjusted family man into an
• 10:40
  addict besieged with tabloid scandal in order to help his
• 10:43
  career with frequent references to The Karate Kid.
• 10:47
  A recurring joke in the sketch is that Macho's Confused were as
• 10:50
  adolescent. The short was lauded by TV guys
• 10:53
  Ruth Freds, who referred to the video as I Splitting in Comic
• 10:56
  Gold. And finally, we all know this
• 10:59
  one. In 2013, Macho and Zabka made
• 11:02
  guest appearances of themselves in the television sitcom How I
• 11:05
  Met Your Mother. In the episode titled The Bro,
• 11:09
  Mizvah, Macho is invited to Barney Stinson's bachelor party,
• 11:13
  leading to Barney shouting that he hates Macho and that Johnny
• 11:17
  was the real hero of The Karate Kid.
• 11:19
  Here's a big poster of The Karate Kid above your bed.
• 11:22
  Hey, Karate Kid's a great movie. It's the story of a hopeful
• 11:25
  young karate enthusiast whose dreams and moxie take him all
• 11:29
  the way to the All Valley Karate Championship.
• 11:31
  Of course, Sadly, he loses in the final round of That Nerd
• 11:34
  Kid, but he learns an important lesson about gracefully
• 11:38
  accepting defeat. Wait.
• 11:40
  When you. Watch The Karate Kid.
• 11:42
  You actually root for that mean blonde boy.
• 11:45
  No, I root for the scrawny loser from New Jersey who barely even
• 11:49
  knows karate. When I watch The Karate Kid, I
• 11:52
  root for The Karate Kid. Johnny Lawrence from the Cobra
• 11:56
  Kite Dojo. Get your head out of your ass,
• 11:58
  Lily. It's like I remember that
• 12:02
  episode. I remember that.
• 12:04
  Episode. We all remember that episode.
• 12:06
  Towards the end of the episode of Clown, the party wiped off
• 12:09
  his makeup and reveals himself as Zabka.
• 12:12
  This influenced the launch of Cobra Kai, which gives a
• 12:15
  balanced perspective for Gianni, Daniel, and other characters.
• 12:18
  Zabka continued to be a recurring character throughout
• 12:20
  the 9th season of the show Calls.
• 12:23
  I got a call, the casting department asking if I wanted to
• 12:26
  be an episode How I Met Your Mother.
• 12:27
  And of course I said yes without even knowing what it was.
• 12:29
  They sent me the script. I was playing myself and I was a
• 12:31
  clown and I had no lines. I'm like, what do I what in
• 12:35
  there? At the very end, I say yes.
• 12:36
  Yeah, yeah, I was like, OK, I'm absolutely no, it's the safest
• 12:39
  bet to give an actor, you know, and get him on TV and give no
• 12:41
  lines until the very end. And I have to wipe my face off.
• 12:44
  And then they wrote a part for Ralph and I was like, well, I
• 12:46
  don't know if I was going to do it.
• 12:47
  And then we went a little back and forth on it.
• 12:50
  I've always I was a fan of the show and the fact that they
• 12:52
  teed. They've teed it up for seasons.
• 12:54
  The whole Barney Stinson concept that the real Karate Kid is
• 12:57
  Williams Abka, not this nerdy Jersey Italian guy.
• 13:00
  He had a. Moment after the show when we
• 13:02
  finished shooting and I was still in my ghee and he was and
• 13:04
  I said get behind the bar. Remember that?
• 13:06
  Yeah. We took some shots.
• 13:07
  It was just something like about the to us being there for real.
• 13:09
  And we sat at the McFadden S bar and I had him take some pictures
• 13:13
  of him pouring me drinks in my I was in a suit pouring him
• 13:15
  drinks. Yeah.
• 13:16
  When the ghee looking why we walked away where there's
• 13:18
  something in this picture. You'll love this picture.
• 13:19
  And interestingly enough, when I we met John, Josh and Hayden, I
• 13:22
  mean that was we were toying around with OK, how can we do
• 13:26
  something cool. Maybe we'll start small And it
• 13:28
  fortunately it was usurped by a much bigger idea that's that's
• 13:33
  out there for the world right now.
• 13:37
  And then Cobra Kai was greenlit in August 2017 with 10 half hour
• 13:41
  episodes written and executive produced by Josh Hugh, John
• 13:44
  Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg. Although the series received
• 13:49
  offer from Netflix, Amazon, Hulu and AMC, it ultimately ended up
• 13:53
  on the subscription service YouTube Red.
• 13:56
  So they offered it to Netflix and Netflix all like, yeah, I'll
• 13:59
  take it. And then they're like, Nah, we
• 14:01
  good. We want to go with YouTube Red
• 14:03
  And then two years for Netflix. Be like, yeah, we got this,
• 14:08
  yeah, but do we? Do we know why Like Netflix
• 14:13
  changed their minds? No, I don't know.
• 14:16
  You don't know why? We'll probably find out by the
• 14:19
  end of the season, too. I was like, I'll look it up.
• 14:22
  OK, we we need to. Do that.
• 14:24
  We need to do that. The trio was joined by executive
• 14:27
  producers James Lasser and Khalid Pinkett of Overbrook
• 14:31
  Entertainment in association with Sony Pictures Television.
• 14:35
  Khalid Pinkett. Do you guys know who that is?
• 14:40
  Overbrook Entertainment is an American production company
• 14:42
  based on Culver City, CA. It was founded by partners Will
• 14:45
  Smith and James Lassler in 1998, around the same time production
• 14:50
  where Wild Wild West began. So Khalid Pinkett is Jada
• 14:54
  Pinkett's brother. I did not know that.
• 15:01
  Cobra Kai, executive produced by Will Smith, who also executive
• 15:07
  produced his sons Cobra, I mean Karate Kid movie.
• 15:13
  Even though the creators of this show have gone on record that
• 15:17
  that Karate Kid doesn't count in this Cobra Kai universe.
• 15:23
  So Will Smith is all like, eh, cool, I'll still produce it, no
• 15:27
  worries. It's like I love that little
• 15:31
  thing right there where it's like, Nah, don't worry about it,
• 15:34
  we got this. YouTube Premium released the
• 15:37
  first season on May 2nd, 2018 and the second season on April
• 15:41
  24th, 2019. The creative series explored
• 15:45
  moving to another platform ahead of the season 2 premiere, but
• 15:48
  deal did not go through the first episode which was posted
• 15:53
  on YouTube for free along with two episodes.
• 15:56
  Well, Episode 2 have been viewed 5.4 million times within the 1st
• 16:00
  24 hours. While it was noted that a
• 16:02
  response had been in part a result of YouTube releasing the
• 16:05
  episode three, it was noted by Cinema Blend Brit Lawrence that
• 16:08
  YouTube read new series debuted numbers that made rival
• 16:11
  streaming services take notice. By October 30th, 2018, ahead of
• 16:16
  the second season premiere, YouTube was promoting the report
• 16:18
  that the first episode had been viewed over 50 million times.
• 16:22
  The first episode was #8 on YouTube list of top ten trending
• 16:26
  videos of 2018. So now that we know about the
• 16:31
  history of why this show came about, let's get right to the
• 16:35
  episode. What we are going to attempt to
• 16:38
  do is review 4 episodes, three or four episodes, give or take.
• 16:43
  We'll see how this one goes. We decided on three episodes.
• 16:46
  The 4th episode is going to be a stand alone and we're going to
• 16:50
  go through all that and we watched it all this week and
• 16:57
  we're going to tell you what we saw of them.
• 16:59
  If it gets too long, the next show we do about Cobra Kai will
• 17:01
  be probably be shorter, but we wanted to discuss these episodes
• 17:05
  because they're awesome and we love Cobra Kai.
• 17:10
  We didn't watch that. We've re watched it make that
• 17:13
  clear. Yeah, we re watched and
• 17:17
  reviewed. We're going to rewatch and
• 17:19
  reviewed us basically. Thank you, Brandy clarifying
• 17:22
  that. You're welcome.
• 17:25
  OK, it's also part of the backdrops and back lot segment
• 17:29
  that I've introduced back in 22 when I was reviewing Heels and
• 17:33
  GLOW. So the first episode is titled H
• 17:36
  Degenerate. It came out May 2nd, 2018.
• 17:40
  The episode's titled 8 Degenerate as a reference to the
• 17:43
  first scene where Johnny appears in The Karate Kid after one of
• 17:46
  her friends referred to him as an H Degenerate.
• 17:48
  Johnny claimed he was an ex degenerate now that he was a
• 17:52
  senior. Oh, Karate Kid, I remember that
• 17:56
  movie. We're gonna have to watch that
• 17:57
  too and go through this. Yes, all, all karate kids.
• 18:02
  Maybe not all of them. Maybe not the 2010 Karate Kid,
• 18:08
  but the all the Karate Next Karate Kid.
• 18:11
  I think we should watch Next Karate Kid because because we
• 18:14
  talk about OK, well, we won't go there yet.
• 18:18
  OK, OK, we'll think about it. What do you guys think?
• 18:20
  Should we watch The Next Karate Kid
• 18:22
  email.usfromundergabron@gmail.com? Let us know.
• 18:25
  I'll put in the Q&A. Also, this episode was written

  That's like 40 years now. Oh.
• 19:35
  My God. Oh my God.
• 19:39
  Why'd you have to remind me of that?
• 19:40
  What the hell? Oh, I'm sorry.
• 19:42
  I apologize, 1984. Anyway, wait.
• 19:46
  Wait, OK, so 1984 is that when the first Karate Kid came out,
• 19:53
  right? Yeah, and when the All Valley
• 19:57
  Karate Championships came, happened.
• 20:00
  OK, so I was trying to think how old I was 11/12.
• 20:06
  Can we? Can we not?
• 20:09
  Why does it make me feel old? It makes me feel old already.
• 20:14
  Not going to discuss this. Well, you know.
• 20:22
  OK, let's move along. You don't know you don't have to
• 20:25
  move along. The show opens with a flashback
• 20:28
  to December 19th, 1994 and the All Valley Karate Championships,
• 20:31
  the finals between Johnny Lawrence and Daniel Larusso,
• 20:34
  with the latter scoring 2 points in the beginning of the fight.
• 20:36
  Johnny gets told by Sensei Crease to sweep the leg after
• 20:41
  tying the match two points apiece.
• 20:44
  The final appoint is awarded to Larusso and then a close up of
• 20:48
  Johnny Lawrence lying on the mat after the crane kicked and
• 20:50
  performed face to Johnny and present day lying in bed with
• 20:53
  beer bottles all over his bed all over.
• 20:59
  The opening flashback in 1984 has been completely re edited
• 21:02
  and contains footage not seen in the room of the movie.
• 21:05
  The close up shots of Johnny getting kicked in the face and
• 21:07
  falling to the ground are part of an alternate footage not
• 21:09
  utilized from the original film. It just feels like when he falls
• 21:14
  down and that whole shot of him on the ground feels new.
• 21:19
  Doesn't feel like it had that 1980s grainy footage.
• 21:26
  Yeah, I wonder why they did that, actually, because yeah, I
• 21:34
  wonder why they did it that way. Like they should have just had
• 21:36
  the. I feel like they they shouldn't
• 21:38
  have zoomed in and showed that they should have just went with
• 21:41
  the old, the old clip, the original clip.
• 21:44
  What do you? Think clip.
• 21:46
  Yeah, yeah, like I would have wanted to have like that grainy
• 21:50
  footage, like, oh, this is 1984, this is still 1984 footage.
• 21:55
  And but it feels too like what I want to say, like too in too in
• 22:02
  depth, too, like now, too modern.
• 22:05
  Yeah, too modern. A picture on his refrigerator
• 22:10
  reveals that he has an estranged son, Bobby Robbie Robbie Keane,
• 22:15
  who previously played soccer and his team won the league in 2010
• 22:19
  after eating fried Bologna with ketchup for breakfast in his
• 22:21
  lonely bachelor pad. He takes out the trash, brushes
• 22:24
  off his new teenage neighbor, Miguel Diaz, who won't stop
• 22:28
  talking about him moving from Riverside.
• 22:30
  Johnny calls him a nudo and explains to him he's been living
• 22:34
  there for 10 years and the only good thing about living there is
• 22:36
  he doesn't have to talk to anybody.
• 22:39
  Miguel tells him to have a nice day.
• 22:40
  Johnny jumps in his red Pontiac Firebird that had to do his job
• 22:44
  as a handyman. Nothing but a good time by
• 22:48
  poisonous plate. As Johnny's on the way to work,
• 22:50
  he sees a billboard for Daniel Larusso's chain of carlock.
• 22:54
  Much to his chagrin. The Cobra Kai logo appears on
• 22:57
  the screen and we see him on touch footage of the
• 22:59
  neighborhood of Lucia, California.
• 23:02
  He stopped right next to a jogger and says hey to her, but
• 23:04
  she calls him a Creek as she runs off.
• 23:08
  I love the fact that he's like been living there for 40 years.
• 23:14
  You still look. It's like Johnny.
• 23:16
  I mean Larusso. Yeah, but how about the fact
• 23:20
  that he is his Firebird? It's Firebird, isn't it?
• 23:23
  He drives a fire. It's a Firebird.
• 23:25
  Yeah, it's a Firebird. Like they make his character
• 23:27
  just stuck in the 80s, yeah. He I just want to understand,
• 23:32
  yes, he is like so out of time, like he hasn't aged a bit and
• 23:37
  he's still stuck in 80s like he doesn't know what.
• 23:42
  Even down to his sunglasses. Did.
• 23:44
  Did you notice that? Did you notice that I had a pair
• 23:47
  of those sunglasses when I was like 16 years old?
• 23:52
  I'm telling you. Oh.
• 23:53
  My God, I go to the Easter eggs from the 80s like he's still
• 23:56
  wearing 80s fashion. He doesn't touch.
• 23:59
  The sunglasses was the first thing.
• 24:01
  I was like, I had a pair of those.
• 24:03
  Like what? No, we won't say how long ago,
• 24:05
  but yeah. He's still watching 80s movies.
• 24:08
  He's still like stuck out there like, oh him again, but like,
• 24:13
  take a new fight, man. This last scene where he's like
• 24:21
  saying, hey, the jogger reminded me so much of the Billy Madison
• 24:24
  scene when he goes back to high school.
• 24:28
  OK. Billy.
• 24:29
  Yeah. Billy shows up in his Pontiac
• 24:31
  Trans Am with the stroke by Billy Squire playing in the
• 24:34
  background. He gets out of his car and sits
• 24:37
  on it. And then he's like looking and
• 24:38
  scoping out the people wearing the same, what, 80s shirt that
• 24:42
  he used to wear back in high school.
• 24:44
  And he's just like, you know, what was it, REO Speedwagon.
• 24:47
  He was wearing an REO Speedwagon shirt.
• 24:49
  And he's just like, what's going on?
• 24:51
  How you doing? Hey, what's up?
• 24:52
  You know, like like being a freaking creep and everything
• 24:56
  and everybody is just like, I'll you know, like who is this
• 24:59
  tricking boomer? It's like everybody in high
• 25:03
  school. And then like, why are you
• 25:05
  trying to show off to the girls, the high school girls, when
• 25:08
  you're just like a 25 year old man and they're like 16 year
• 25:12
  old? Well, that's funny.
• 25:13
  You said you're referencing him and Adam Sandler because you
• 25:16
  know what movie I it it made me think of was Click and the scene
• 25:21
  with Adam Sandler in the car. Do you remember that scene?
• 25:26
  I've never, I've never seen. Yes.
• 25:30
  Oh, my gosh. Yes.
• 25:32
  It's a scene. He's in the car and they do like
• 25:34
  a he. He does.
• 25:36
  He has a remote. We've never seen it, but he fast
• 25:38
  forwards and can rewind and slows down.
• 25:42
  And there's a jogger that runs by and he slows it down to watch
• 25:46
  her run. Let's just put it that way.
• 25:47
  So yeah, that's what it reminded me of.
• 25:50
  Yeah. OK.
• 25:52
  Everybody knows about that scene.
• 25:53
  I I understand that scene. I remember that.
• 26:00
  That's funny. 22 Adam Sandler movies.
• 26:03
  That's crazy. Yeah, that's weird that you said
• 26:04
  that because I was like, no, this Adam Sandler movie.
• 26:10
  Also the fried Bologna in the beginning.
• 26:14
  You beat one, haven't you? Yes.
• 26:16
  It tastes so. Much better when you have no
• 26:19
  money and no eggs for breakfast and you're just like, yeah,
• 26:22
  something right away. So you put some Bologna on the
• 26:25
  stove, fry it up with tortilla. We're good.
• 26:29
  We're good. Oh, I've never done yeah, I've
• 26:31
  done it on bread, but never tortilla.
• 26:34
  Right. Never done it with ketchup but.
• 26:37
  I've never done it with ketchup either, just just the fried
• 26:40
  Bologna. Right.
• 26:43
  Y'all. Need to try that if you fried
• 26:46
  Bologna with ketchup, Let's try it.
• 26:49
  Let's see. How to take?
• 26:49
  Try it with ketchup. OK, yeah, we should do that.
• 26:52
  I'll have to try it with tortilla though, because I've
• 26:54
  never tried it. With Tortilla, definitely.
• 26:57
  With Tortilla. It's freaking amazing.
• 26:59
  I love it. While it's his handyman job in
• 27:03
  the gated community, Johnny has not been treated well.
• 27:06
  Poor guy. He's following along since way
• 27:09
  since the Country Club of his youth, cleaning out the gutters
• 27:12
  of leaves in a dead rat while their children are playing with
• 27:14
  their squirt guns, firing at Johnny, who almost falls off
• 27:17
  because it's slippery. An argument with a customer
• 27:20
  leads to him getting fired. She wanted her TV spring in
• 27:22
  front of the door, but Johnny plays in front of another door.
• 27:25
  He says he can do it later but please just stop bitching at
• 27:28
  him. Next scene he is talking to his
• 27:31
  boss and gets fired to call or calling the customer a bitch,
• 27:33
  but says there's a difference between being a bitch and
• 27:36
  bitching. Is there?
• 27:40
  Is there though? Yeah.
• 27:42
  Yes, there is. Yes, there is.
• 27:44
  I'm gonna have to say there is a yeah.
• 27:47
  You're bitching at me, but you're not a bitch, OK?
• 27:50
  Yeah, there's a difference. We're we're gonna agree to
• 27:53
  disagree on this one. All right, Bitching Customer
• 27:57
  Lady comes back at a later date in another episode, which is
• 27:59
  hilarious. Later, Johnny goes to get a
• 28:03
  slice of pizza at the local bodega.
• 28:05
  The bodega owner doesn't use glove that continues holding the
• 28:07
  pizza with his hands while looking for a plate.
• 28:09
  That's disgusting. Yeah, it.
• 28:13
  Is Miguel is there also trying to buy Pepto Bismol for his
• 28:15
  grandma? Johnny says he doesn't care.
• 28:18
  He comes out of the store trying to eat his pizza and is berated
• 28:21
  by homeless Lynn to go somewhere else.
• 28:23
  Deserve Spot. Miguel comes out of the store
• 28:30
  and a group of bigger boys start to bully him.
• 28:32
  Kyler, played by Joe Seo, pours the bottle of Pepto Bismol and
• 28:36
  calls him Rhea. From now on, he throws him
• 28:40
  against the hood of Johnny's car.
• 28:42
  Johnny objects. They turn their attention to
• 28:44
  him, Kyler sings. Kyler says he thinks he
• 28:47
  recognizes him as the guy who cleaned out his septic tank.
• 28:51
  The other bully says that's probably why he smells like
• 28:53
  shit. Kyler pushes Johnny, knocking
• 28:56
  his pizza away. OK, did Lynn grab the pizza to
• 29:00
  eat it, or did she have her own? I think she grabbed the pizza to
• 29:07
  eat it, to be honest, because yeah, she's pretty sure she's.
• 29:11
  All She's all the way by the garbage over there, in fact,
• 29:15
  that there's a fight about to go on and she just grabbed the
• 29:17
  pizza. I was like, why she?
• 29:19
  Was like she was hungry. What do you expect it's?
• 29:22
  Like, fuck this fight. Let me eat up.
• 29:26
  Johnny Roundhouse kicks Kyler and holds on to his leg.
• 29:29
  He forgot to stretch. What is the first rule of doing
• 29:32
  something, especially when you're this old?
• 29:36
  You have to stretch you. Stretch.
• 29:39
  You need to, like, beat limber. And you know, if you're going to
• 29:42
  do a Roundhouse kick at 40-50 years old and to a bunch of high
• 29:47
  schoolers, you need to stretch, you know?
• 29:49
  Yeah, but when did he have time to stretch?
• 29:50
  He was, you know, she was defending Menudo and what do you
• 29:55
  expect she? Was defending Menudo.
• 29:58
  Oh God. The bullies outnumber Johnny for
• 30:01
  the one, but they are beaten by Johnny who gets makes them
• 30:03
  arrested by cop who finally show up.
• 30:06
  They don't show up right before, they just show up now, right?
• 30:11
  The fight between Johnny Kyler and his friends is similar to
• 30:13
  how Danny was saved by Mr. Miyagi from Johnny.
• 30:16
  However, unlike that fight, Johnny gets arrested for
• 30:19
  assaulting Kyler and his friend where Mr. Miyagi didn't.
• 30:22
  It's OK when you're a good guy, that one bad guy.
• 30:26
  Mr. Miyagi is not going to get arrested.
• 30:28
  He's a legend. He's ninja vanished.
• 30:32
  He ninjas his way out of there. Early the next morning, Johnny
• 30:37
  arrived home from his night in jail, only to be accosted by
• 30:41
  Miguel, who asked him about the technique he used that night.
• 30:46
  Johnny clarifies that it was old school karate, but refuses to
• 30:50
  teach Miguel despite his pleading.
• 30:52
  He goes inside and sees his stepfather waiting for him.
• 30:55
  Sick of bailing Johnny out, Sid gives Johnny a check as an
• 30:59
  effort to buy him out. I still hear that old man from
• 31:02
  UP. That's all I hear.
• 31:07
  Whenever I see him it's like, oh shit no.
• 31:11
  Johnny tears up the check and said leaves and disgust.
• 31:14
  Then Johnny then proceeds to get drunk in front of the TV
• 31:17
  watching Iron Eagle, another 80s movie.
• 31:21
  Yeah, I I didn't even catch that one.
• 31:25
  I did not catch that one. I.
• 31:28
  Was like, I Wait, isn't this from the 80s?
• 31:31
  Also, he's so out of touch, yet another ad for Larusso Auto
• 31:35
  Group comes on starring Daniel. He tries to change the channel
• 31:38
  but his remote is out of battery, so he then throws his
• 31:41
  beer bottle at the screen and leads, breaking the TV.
• 31:45
  And and let's and let's remember it's an.
• 31:47
  It's an old TV as well. Or.
• 31:52
  With a remote, it's like as Lazy's like he has a remote.
• 31:56
  He's like modern day on there, but he's still watching old
• 31:59
  movie and listening to old music and putting on some old
• 32:04
  sunglasses. Driving his old car though he's
• 32:11
  been drinking giants. Nice to go for a drive.
• 32:13
  Head games by Foreigner. Another 80s song.
• 32:18
  Yep, Yep. And the place while he drives
• 32:23
  and happily reminisces about the times he spent with his
• 32:25
  corporate Kai friends and Ali. But then remembers Daniel not
• 32:30
  only as the one who stole Ally, but also getting beaten by Mr.
• 32:33
  Miyagi and his feet. He suffered the Daniel at the
• 32:36
  tournament. I love the whole montage.
• 32:38
  It's like, hey, it's him and his friends.
• 32:41
  He starts laughing and smiling and stuff and then he sees Ali
• 32:44
  smiling. And Ali's smiling wasn't even
• 32:47
  like during them two talking, It was during when she was talking
• 32:50
  with Daniel. With Daniel, yeah.
• 32:53
  I love her smile by the way she has.
• 32:55
  She has the nicest smile. I just want to say that she.
• 32:58
  Did like she did. She did.
• 33:00
  And he's just like, you know, he giggles.
• 33:03
  He looks like he's giggling at the fact that she's smiling,
• 33:05
  like that's smiling for you. But that smile was for someone
• 33:09
  else. And then like for some reason
• 33:12
  had bubble burst because that whole scene of Daniel and Ali
• 33:19
  playing soccer, hitting them with their knees and it's like,
• 33:22
  how'd you get that scene? You weren't even in the scene,
• 33:24
  dude. How'd you get that head in?
• 33:25
  Had that picture in your head. You weren't even the scene,
• 33:27
  dude. Was he in this?
• 33:30
  I forgot. I forgot.
• 33:31
  Let me. Who was in that scene?
• 33:34
  Yeah, 'cause, like, how did he get that image in his head?
• 33:37
  Like, oh, they're playing soccer together?
• 33:38
  Oh fuck. He was like, what?
• 33:42
  Yeah, he was. He was there.
• 33:46
  He was. Oh, yeah.
• 33:47
  He was in the background like. Yeah, he he was in the
• 33:50
  background because or he was there.
• 33:52
  He he was there at the beach or no, they drove up on their
• 33:55
  bikes. He was there at the beach.
• 33:58
  They showed up. He's there at the high school.
• 34:04
  He's watching them too, hit the soccer ball with their leg, with
• 34:09
  their knees. So we're just going to shake
• 34:12
  him. He was.
• 34:13
  He was always there watching them.
• 34:16
  He was always there. He was there.
• 34:17
  Somewhere. Yeah, he was.
• 34:19
  He was a creeper back then. He was a stalker, the whole
• 34:25
  thing with Mr. Miyagi and A tournament, he is like having a
• 34:29
  rough time. And every time he's like thinks
• 34:31
  about it, he's in his head basically.
• 34:33
  And every time he thinks about it, he's drinking more like, oh,
• 34:36
  son of a bitch. I was like, he just went through
• 34:39
  the entire motion of Karate Kid one.
• 34:43
  It's like we don't know anything else.
• 34:45
  It's just like, oh, I hate my life.
• 34:50
  He ends up at the Sports Complex, which was the side of
• 34:52
  his humiliation, and he recalls the time his mentor and sensei
• 34:55
  John Crees attempted to kill him in the parking lot after failing
• 34:58
  to win the match. But he doesn't remember that
• 35:03
  Mister Miyagi saved him. I know I don't.
• 35:07
  I don't know why they left that out.
• 35:11
  They left out Part 2 like for convenience.
• 35:14
  It's like, Nah, like he they they ruined me at the tournament
• 35:19
  and then he tried to kill me, but I don't remember anything
• 35:21
  happened after that. It's like even like at the very
• 35:26
  end of Cobra Karate Kid, he said.
• 35:29
  He gives him, he gives Daniel the trophy and thought like, go
• 35:32
  for it, you know? Yes, I love that.
• 35:34
  I I I loved that part though. Like it.
• 35:37
  It made him look like he was a he was a good guy, you know?
• 35:42
  And they redo to redid the whole thing.
• 35:44
  And that's a bad guy again. I know A car full of teens
• 35:50
  slammed into his car and they drive away.
• 35:53
  To add insult to injury to car gets towed to his nemesis place
• 35:57
  Larusso Auto Group. The next morning Johnny attempts
• 36:00
  to disguise himself and tries to quietly tow his car to another
• 36:03
  lot. However, Daniel walks by and
• 36:05
  notices him. Johnny.
• 36:08
  Johnny Lawrence, like, oh shit. Johnny's like, I've been fucking
• 36:12
  trying to hide from you for 30 years.
• 36:15
  He just shows up one day and Daniel is like, doesn't even
• 36:18
  know where he's at. He's.
• 36:20
  Just like, oh, they're they're in the the same town, they
• 36:23
  reside in the same town, but they've never run into each
• 36:26
  other before this kind. Of weird Johnny's Johnny's like,
• 36:31
  seen him like, oh, he's there. I'm gonna go the other way.
• 36:34
  But Daniel, like, finally realized that, oh, you've been
• 36:36
  living here the entire time. No way.
• 36:39
  Hey, give me a hug, buddy. That's.
• 36:42
  Cool Daniel is living the good life.
• 36:45
  Right. Daniel's happy to see him and
• 36:49
  calls over his associate Daniel, prompted by his cousin Louie
• 36:53
  ribs him a little about losing the All value tournament.
• 36:56
  Hey, if you want to know, I kick him to the face.
• 36:57
  I kicked his face. Johnny claimed that Daniel one
• 37:02
  with an illegal kick of the face.
• 37:05
  Daniel says Sweep my leg. It's like, all right guys, I
• 37:12
  knew he's there. Also, Daniel's other associate
• 37:18
  just, like tells them like, all right, don't fight.
• 37:21
  Here, Daniel offers to fix Johnny's car for free.
• 37:25
  As Johnny reluctantly accepts, he turns and leaves when he
• 37:27
  recognizes Daniel's daughter as the girl in the back seat of the
• 37:30
  car. For a team who hit his car. 3
• 37:33
  girls. No big deal.
• 37:36
  The Chicago Bulls entrance team. I love that, but it's really
• 37:41
  called serious by the Allen Parsons Project is youth.
• 37:44
  When Johnny goes home, he changes his mind and then tells
• 37:46
  Miguel he'll teach him karate. He uses the checks that gave him
• 37:50
  to reopen the Cobra Kai Dojo, vowing to teach Miguel the same
• 37:54
  kind of karate his sensei taught him.
• 37:58
  Oh. What teach you everything, kid?
• 38:01
  What do you think? What do you think was going
• 38:03
  through his mind like as to why he wanted to?
• 38:07
  What made you? What do you think made change
• 38:11
  his mind, Made him change his mind about opening that?
• 38:13
  Like what? Where was it?
• 38:16
  What was it him seeing Daniel? What do you think it was like
• 38:21
  that made him Click to change that?
• 38:24
  All right, I've been avoiding this guy for 30 years, 30 plus
• 38:28
  years. Maybe it's time he finally sees
• 38:31
  me. He's like, not only see me at
• 38:35
  the Chicago dealership, but like, hey, I've seen your
• 38:37
  freaking billboards all over the place for 20 years.
• 38:41
  Whatever. Now you're gonna see my Dojo for
• 38:45
  the next few years. So, like, I understand you have
• 38:50
  a daughter. And she hit my car.
• 38:52
  Like, I don't know, for some reason, I was like, hey, let me
• 38:54
  change my mind right now. Sure, Miguel, let me teach you
• 38:57
  how to fight. I just.
• 38:58
  I wonder that well, because I really, and I think I don't
• 39:02
  wanna get ahead here but I really think with him and his
• 39:09
  relationship with his own son, you know he.
• 39:13
  I don't know. I just.
• 39:14
  I see. Or should I say when I first saw
• 39:17
  it I I was seeing that I'm like this is gonna be a relationship
• 39:21
  between him and Miguel. Like it's gonna be good.
• 39:25
  Like, yeah, yeah, A relationship.
• 39:28
  He. Didn't have with Robbie, right?
• 39:30
  Right Teach you. I'm.
• 39:31
  Going to teach you how to play ball.
• 39:34
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like instead of, you know, hey,
• 39:37
  I'm going to teach you to play baseball or whatever.
• 39:40
  I'm this is what I'm going to do.
• 39:42
  That's that's what I guess I was hoping for when I first saw this
• 39:45
  for the first time is that that was my my thought.
• 39:50
  I know that change because time went on.
• 39:52
  But yeah. Right.
• 39:55
  And that was the end of that episode.
• 39:57
  What did you think of it? Did it hook you right away?
• 40:01
  Oh, yeah. Oh, absolutely.
• 40:03
  Did I? I I like the way I love how they
• 40:05
  how they end. They end it to where you can't
• 40:09
  not watch it. And I guess that's where I went
• 40:11
  back to. How could you not just sit and
• 40:14
  binge watch each episode right away?
• 40:17
  Like, I don't know how you could not do that.
• 40:19
  I did that. There was just no way I had to
• 40:21
  watch the whole thing and then I got really sad when it ended.
• 40:30
  I watched it at work. I did.
• 40:32
  I like, I was a runner. I didn't like, do all kind of
• 40:36
  stuff. So I had like an hour to prep
• 40:39
  the entire area. And then like, I finished thirty
• 40:42
  minutes early. So in those thirty minutes, I,
• 40:44
  like, ended up sitting down and watching the show.
• 40:47
  And from there, I'm just like, all right.
• 40:49
  I got to watch the second episode break happened.
• 40:53
  And I'm just like sitting there watching the second episode and
• 40:55
  I was like, Oh my God, this is awesome.
• 40:56
  I can't. And then like, realizing I was
• 40:59
  like, oh shoot, I gotta pay. It's like, all right.
• 41:02
  Let me see if I can find it for. Free, I'm gonna say.
• 41:05
  How did that make you feel? You were probably pretty mad,
• 41:07
  huh? 499, I was fine with it.
• 41:09
  It was 499 at the time. I think.
• 41:13
  Yeah, 'cause it was such a little small streaming surface.
• 41:16
  If it was 1099 or something like that, Nah, I'm good.
• 41:19
  But it was 499 and just in case I went over on the seven day
• 41:22
  period like I wouldn't, I wouldn't have minded.
• 41:25
  I was working at a casino. I was fine with it, but I was
• 41:30
  like, Nah, I don't want to pay for this.
• 41:31
  This is the only thing that's there and on YouTube read
• 41:33
  nothing else was going on unless I'm mistaken.
• 41:36
  What else was going on? Was there another show?
• 41:38
  Was there another something? So you weren't.
• 41:42
  So you're saying you weren't hooked enough to where you would
• 41:46
  just pay to watch the show on there?
• 41:50
  Like, it was just one show. Like, I'm I'm hooked.
• 41:54
  I obviously am a hook for Cobra Kai only.
• 41:57
  But I'm not hooked enough to stay on YouTube Red for the
• 42:01
  foreseeable future. Like, all right, if CNG does
• 42:04
  happen, I'll I'll go and do it again.
• 42:07
  But it was only for one season. We didn't know the the
• 42:10
  situation. We didn't know the future of
• 42:12
  Cobra Kai. We just know it was like, oh
• 42:14
  shit, 50 million views. That's like a lot of views.
• 42:19
  Yeah, and it was top eight. I don't even remember what were
• 42:23
  the in 2018, what were the, what was the first the top one or top
• 42:28
  five? But I loved it enough.
• 42:32
  It's like, oh, hey, yeah, hey, cool.
• 42:34
  I loved it enough to tell everybody at the casino.
• 42:36
  Like, definitely watch Corporate Kai.
• 42:39
  Everybody watch Cobra Kai. Twitter Watch Cobra Kai.
• 42:41
  Friends. Family Watch Cobra Kai.
• 42:43
  What is that, Karate Kid? OK, cool.
• 42:46
  Yeah. Two years later.
• 42:50
  Later on Netflix. Hey, did you know about this
• 42:51
  show? Cobra Kai on Netflix?
• 42:53
  Fuck you. I told you to watch this show a
• 42:58
  long time ago. It's like, you know who gets to
• 43:02
  watch season three now? You Netflix people.
• 43:04
  You know who had to wait me two years?
• 43:09
  I'm glad that I was not you, because I would not have wanted
• 43:13
  to do that. I.
• 43:15
  Was upset. I was like, why?
• 43:18
  There's. No way we're not getting a
• 43:19
  season three. Oh, that sucks.
• 43:21
  We had to wait for two years like, oh shit, green, green
• 43:23
  light. We have a season 3.
• 43:31
  What was your favorite scene? Oh, my favorite scene has to be
• 43:36
  probably when he kicked the crap out of those kids.
• 43:43
  That's. That's got.
• 43:45
  That's got to be it. That's it.
• 43:46
  And and that was my whole like what I was thinking was the the
• 43:53
  bullier. How do I want to put this So
• 43:56
  like he was he was the bully back then but then like roll
• 44:01
  reverse like he was. I mean he was the defender of
• 44:04
  the one getting bullied. That was my thought like and
• 44:08
  right there and well I'm right there.
• 44:10
  I'm like, again, first watching this way back when it first came
• 44:15
  out, I was like he's gonna, he's gonna be a good guy that's
• 44:19
  that's what's going to happen. He's going to be a he's he's
• 44:21
  totally clueless, stuck in the 80s, but he's going to be a good
• 44:24
  guy that that was my first thought when I saw that theme.
• 44:29
  Yeah, it ended up being like a trope where all the good guys, I
• 44:34
  mean all the bad guys, were getting movies or TV shows,
• 44:38
  backstories of how they became bad Maleficent with one of them,
• 44:43
  2014, A bad freaking whatever she was into what she is now.
• 44:51
  Even now it's like 101 Dalmatians, Gorilla Deville,
• 44:56
  like they're they're all getting movies and TV shows, and Johnny
• 45:00
  Lawrence wasn't one of them. But at the same time, like she
• 45:04
  really was the hero. Yeah, yeah.
• 45:10
  And I, I know we're well, we're going to get into.
• 45:13
  I'm sure we will get into this but the whole debate on, and I
• 45:19
  don't know if you, I'm sure you know this being a Cobra Kai
• 45:23
  fanatic like I am, how people talk and say that that actually
• 45:32
  Danny or Danielle was the the bully.
• 45:36
  It had you. He was the bully.
• 45:39
  That's that's the talk that came about when this, when this came
• 45:44
  to Netflix anyways and people were watching it or you know,
• 45:48
  and saying well, no, Johnny wasn't the bully and I'm talking
• 45:53
  referencing Karate Kid like it wasn't Johnny, it was, it was
• 45:56
  always Daniel. And that's like a huge debate
• 45:59
  and I'm sure we will get into that.
• 46:03
  Hi, everyone. I'm Lisa.
• 46:04
  And I'm Dawn. And if you've ever watched a TV
• 46:06
  show and thought to yourself, Oh my God, that season finale plot
• 46:08
  to us was absolutely bonkers. Or seen a movie and thought,
• 46:11
  wow, I need to talk to somebody about this train wreck
• 46:14
  immediately. Then we think you'll fit right
• 46:16
  in with our podcast. I hate it.
• 46:17
  Let's watch it. We watch TV shows like Riverdale
• 46:19
  and Emily and Paris and movies like Deep Water Killer Sofa
• 46:22
  Rubber and Devil Illusions, and we give them the total rinsing
• 46:25
  they deserve. It's basically group therapy for
• 46:27
  movie Mascus. So come check us out wherever
• 46:29
  you stream podcasts. Hey, it's Evo.
• 46:40
  We're going to get back to the episode you're listening to, But
• 46:42
  first let me tell you about Dark Freak Creations.
• 46:46
  Dark Freak creations are candles that are vibrant, colorful
• 46:49
  marble tops, amazing mouth watering fragrances fueled by
• 46:54
  lovely braided cotton wigs. Paper threads woven into every
• 46:59
  cotton wig for a clean, romantic, slow and consistent
• 47:02
  burn. Each candle is unique from the
• 47:05
  next as they are hand mixed and hand poured right in Grass
• 47:09
  Valley, CA. They use only coconut and soy
• 47:13
  waxes for a safer, cleaner and longer burn time.
• 47:17
  That's almost 72 hours. That's like binging on all 130
• 47:20
  episodes of the podcast. All fragrance blends have been
• 47:24
  heavily researched. Dark recreations not only care
• 47:27
  about the look, fragrance, and quality of their candles and
• 47:29
  their other products, but also the effects they have in their
• 47:33
  customers homes. So go to darkrecreations.com.
• 47:37
  The link will be in the show notes.
• 47:45
  So episode 2 titled Strike, first written but directed by
• 47:48
  the creators of the show. I'm not going to tell you who
• 47:51
  they are. You already know who they are.
• 47:53
  Cygnosis Present day Daniel Larusso lived a charmed life.
• 47:56
  That is until he sees that the corporate Kai Dojo, the source
• 47:59
  of the teenage angst and rivalry, has been re established
• 48:03
  by Johnny Lawrence. Struggling to launch the
• 48:05
  business, Johnny starts teaching karate to his teenage neighbor
• 48:08
  Miguel. Daniel faces his former opponent
• 48:11
  and all the offenses are quickly reignited, also with Menudo from
• 48:15
  the 80s. I'm, I'm.
• 48:20
  It's got to be it. Definitely, yes.
• 48:23
  Smudo is definitely from the 80s.
• 48:25
  Remember what we're talking about here?
• 48:26
  He's stuck in the 80s. So like, yeah, and I know we
• 48:31
  haven't gotten to the part yet, but it's common.
• 48:37
  Active from 1977. Yeah, so they were from the 80s.
• 48:43
  He must have known about them from the 80s, so it's like the
• 48:46
  only friggin Spanish band that he knows.
• 48:49
  That's like, all right, menudo, like what?
• 48:55
  Like, Oh my God, there's so many Spanish bands and he just
• 49:00
  decides to say the Spanish boy band.
• 49:05
  I would have. That's probably what I would
• 49:06
  have said too. To be honest.
• 49:08
  I would have referenced menudo if I was stuck in the 80s.
• 49:13
  Menudo was like, the most, yeah, the most of the 80s.
• 49:19
  That's so hilarious. Oh, man.
• 49:22
  All right, where are we? So is the opposite the is it
• 49:28
  cold open? The opposite of Johnny's
• 49:29
  morning? Daniel starts his day in his
• 49:32
  mansion. Well, ain't that a kick in the
• 49:34
  head by Dean Martin plays, so it's all immediately Right away
• 49:38
  we don't hear 80s. We just see like, oh hey jazzy
• 49:43
  Dean Martin. He wakes up happy next to his
• 49:46
  wife Amanda. He gets dressed with a smile on
• 49:48
  his face and makes breakfast for his son Anthony and his daughter
• 49:51
  Sam. We also see that he drives an
• 49:55
  Audi S7 and is well liked by his staff and customers.
• 50:00
  However, it seems that he hasn't left the past behind either and
• 50:04
  he all comes flying back when he drives past the strip mall and
• 50:07
  sees the sign of for Johnny's newly reestablished Dojo on his
• 50:11
  way home from work. But here Johnny is like stuck in
• 50:17
  his past. Like, oh, you know, I like this
• 50:19
  song, I like this movie. I like to talk about this.
• 50:23
  I have these shades. I have, you know, reference
• 50:26
  menudo. Daniel's all like, hey, ain't
• 50:31
  that a kick in the head? Hey, small smiles and kissing
• 50:35
  babies and stuff. Driving the Audi S7.
• 50:38
  What would What did he drive into the 80s that his mom used
• 50:42
  to drive him? I was going to say he didn't
• 50:44
  drive. It was his mom.
• 50:46
  That's funny. He brought that up.
• 50:47
  But yeah, the I don't even know what kind of vehicle that was.
• 50:50
  I don't remember. I just remember they had to push
• 50:52
  it. They had to push it in the first
• 50:55
  scene of the movie. Like the first day.
• 50:58
  Like, Yup, on his first day. Ali had to push it.
• 51:02
  His girlfriend had to push it. Well, no, Ali didn't have to
• 51:06
  push it. She she was she was in the
• 51:09
  driver's seat. She got had to pop the clutch
• 51:11
  and him and his mom were pushing it so for.
• 51:20
  Now it all comes back, comes laying back when he drives past
• 51:24
  the strip mall and sees the sign for Johnny.
• 51:26
  Nearly your stab of JoJo. He stopped the car and he's just
• 51:29
  like what? Cover Kai and immediately he
• 51:33
  gets triggered, he gets triggered.
• 51:36
  Yeah, he did. Oh my God.
• 51:38
  Everything starts flushing back like dude, kid over it.
• 51:42
  You have a happy life. Leave it alone.
• 51:44
  No, he's just like, oh, he beat me up.
• 51:46
  Oh, oh, Oh, no, we can't do this.
• 51:50
  Yeah, all the all the scene, yeah, everything.
• 51:53
  All the flashbacks. Was him getting beat up like
• 51:56
  that was his flashbacks? Those were his flashbacks
• 52:00
  though. Nothing with him and Ally,
• 52:01
  nothing about him being happy and said no.
• 52:03
  It's a small flashback. Him getting bullied.
• 52:08
  Johnny, clean shaven and apparently sober, gives Miguel
• 52:11
  his first karate lesson. It becomes clear that Miguel
• 52:13
  hadn't expected to take it so seriously.
• 52:15
  Johnny attacks Miguel unexpectedly to show the first
• 52:19
  lesson of Cobra Kai strike first when Miguel uses his inhaler to
• 52:23
  catch his breath. Johnny throw the inhaler against
• 52:25
  the wall, saying weakness does not exist inside this Dojo.
• 52:29
  And that's the last time we ever see the inhaler.
• 52:33
  It is. But also like every time I see
• 52:41
  this part, I laugh out loud. When he calls them karate
• 52:44
  pajamas, he goes, When do I get my pair of karate pajamas?
• 52:52
  And John, Johnny goes it's a ghee.
• 52:54
  It's. A ghee.
• 52:56
  Yeah, but he calls them. He calls them karate pajamas.
• 52:59
  They aren't pajamas. It's a ghee, yeah.
• 53:01
  Like, when do I get it? You don't have?
• 53:03
  He haven't earned them yet, but Oh my God, the inhaler.
• 53:07
  He has asthma. Not anymore.
• 53:10
  Not after the first episode. It's gone.
• 53:13
  If you know, if you come and practice karate, your asthma
• 53:17
  will be gone. What?
• 53:24
  This is what happens to the inhaler?
• 53:26
  What happens if he gets nothing? It was just all in his head, he
• 53:29
  tells him too. It's like all this shit about.
• 53:31
  You. Yeah.
• 53:34
  And peanut allergies. It's all in your head.
• 53:37
  You don't have to worry. You have peanut allergy.
• 53:40
  Come to the Dojo, to Cobra Kai. That will be gone.
• 53:43
  Now go eat some peanut butter. See what happened?
• 53:46
  I'm cured. Like what?
• 53:52
  I don't think they were thinking on that one.
• 53:55
  Your Your weakness is cured when you go join Cobra Kai.
• 54:00
  And and so is your allergies. Don't forget that.
• 54:03
  So are your allergies and all that stuff.
• 54:05
  Well, that's all just fake. Fake stuff.
• 54:10
  He also tells Miguel that these left aren't just for Cobra Kai,
• 54:12
  they're for everything in life. Like Strike First, go for it.
• 54:19
  A health inspector then shows up and tells Johnny that he will
• 54:21
  need to get that place in order before he can open an exercise
• 54:24
  studio. It's a Dojo.
• 54:26
  It's karate. Luckily, Johnny convinced the
• 54:29
  inspector that Miguel isn't illegal.
• 54:31
  Not a student, you know, fucking Oh my God.
• 54:36
  So, like, Sir, are you OK? Just why are you sitting down
• 54:40
  there doing sit ups if you're an illegal and you are, get up.
• 54:47
  Like, no. The inspector gives Johnny a
• 54:51
  lesser requirement before he can open for business and notes that
• 54:54
  this place is going to need a lot of work before he can get.
• 54:56
  The surfer gets to get the insurance he needs to open.
• 55:00
  He goes by the logo. He's like, hey, nice snake.
• 55:03
  It's a fucking cobra. Cobra is a snake, isn't?
• 55:09
  It rattles, he said. Rattlesnake, he said.
• 55:11
  Rattlesnake oh. Hey, nice rattlesnake.
• 55:13
  It's a Cobra. I was like, oh, I'm an idiot,
• 55:15
  OK, it says right there, Cobra Kai.
• 55:18
  I don't know how to read. He'd pissed him off some more.
• 55:27
  Daniel and Amanda attend a party at the Encino Oaks Country Club.
• 55:30
  Daniel bemoans to Amanda the fact that he would have loved to
• 55:33
  be invited to such an event, but neither of their kids.
• 55:36
  If the least been interested. Sam stayed home while Anthony is
• 55:41
  more interested in his video game.
• 55:43
  I would have kicked his ass. Oh, me too.
• 55:46
  I I was going to ask you what you thought of thought of him.
• 55:49
  I mean, he's got such a little attitude on him.
• 55:52
  Yeah. Or leave the fucking video game
• 55:55
  at home. Go go hang with the other rich
• 55:58
  kids. Oh gosh, not even the video
• 56:00
  game. Just the way he talks and the
• 56:01
  way he acts and like, yeah. Right.
• 56:09
  No, I feel like Sam was planned and Anthony was a mistake,
• 56:18
  'cause now they, like, tell her, Hey, hey, Sam.
• 56:21
  I made you your your favorite breakfast.
• 56:24
  Here it is. And then Anthony's all like, can
• 56:26
  I have something? Oh yeah, I was like, dude, come
• 56:28
  on. What the fuck is wrong with you?
• 56:30
  Fuck you. What?
• 56:34
  It's like Sam, we love you, honey.
• 56:36
  We want you to, you know, we want you to be safe.
• 56:39
  Anthony, get the fuck out of the fucking kitchen.
• 56:42
  What the fuck? Like, damn it Dad, This is why I
• 56:46
  don't do shit just the way I do. I know.
• 56:50
  You know what? It's because it's because he
• 56:54
  doesn't do karate. He didn't do karate with
• 56:57
  Anthony. Is that his name?
• 56:58
  Anthony. Yes, Anthony.
• 56:59
  He does karate with him. So he's got that bond, that
• 57:03
  special bond. It's a special bond with his
• 57:05
  daughter because she did karate and he didn't.
• 57:07
  Yeah. He He chose video games.
• 57:11
  Fucking asshole. You choked me.
• 57:14
  You're not my kid. Oh, shit.
• 57:20
  All right. Aisha Robinson, Sam's best
• 57:22
  friend from school, asks about her presence, but Amanda lies
• 57:26
  and tell her she's visiting her grandmother to avoid hurting
• 57:29
  Aisha's feeling. Amanda sends Daniel's mood and
• 57:32
  asks him what's wrong. Daniel confides in her, his
• 57:35
  concern about Cobra Kai reopening.
• 57:38
  Oh my God. Delaruza leave the party earlier
• 57:43
  the next time expected, and when they pull into the driveway they
• 57:45
  are surprised to see a lot of cars.
• 57:47
  Amanda and Anthony go inside while Daniel puts the car in
• 57:49
  park and has to break in the backyard and discovered that Sam
• 57:52
  is throwing a pool party for her new friend.
• 57:56
  It is clear that Yasmin had convinced Sam to throw the
• 57:58
  party. Daniel sends everyone home, and
• 58:01
  Amanda tells her husband that he's overreacting.
• 58:03
  And there's nothing wrong with Sam, who wants to be popular.
• 58:07
  Daniel. Someone agreed but expressed
• 58:09
  concern that his daughter will turn into a privileged Encino
• 58:12
  brat. Yeah, so glad you didn't marry
• 58:15
  Allie, Amanda says he doesn't want that either, but warns him
• 58:19
  that if he continues to react the way he did, it could only
• 58:21
  push her further in that direction.
• 58:23
  Thinking of words over, he reminisces over the days when
• 58:25
  Sam was little and wasn't karate student, reminding her that
• 58:28
  karate is exclusively for defense.
• 58:34
  But is it though? But it is.
• 58:40
  Is that is that your opinion that it is?
• 58:44
  I, I, I did karate. It was only for defense.
• 58:47
  Like, I was just like bullied and shit.
• 58:50
  And I was like, hey, here's a super, here's a kick to the
• 58:53
  face. That's.
• 58:55
  I mean I believe, yes, I believe it is self-defense.
• 58:57
  I was just kind of wondering what your opinion was on that?
• 59:00
  It's for self-defense. Yeah, so whole party people,
• 59:09
  everybody showing up and taking Daniel Trunks.
• 59:16
  Some trunks. Yeah, like everybody fits in
• 59:19
  them. And that small man's body.
• 59:23
  Even the big dude, like, hey man, I just went to your
• 59:26
  bathroom and he's seems perfect. Yeah, yeah, no problem.
• 59:31
  Those are big trunks for Daniel. Sure.
• 59:33
  Why not? I'm like, what is that?
• 59:38
  Are those my trunks? Are you all wearing my trunks?
• 59:41
  Yes, Sir. I'm sorry.
• 59:43
  Yet you all have a a different body build.
• 59:47
  And Daniel looks like that. Like what?
• 59:52
  Like. All right.
• 59:53
  I believe it. Yeah.
• 1:00:01
  Johnny has Miguel clean mats and even fix some dangerous exposed
• 1:00:04
  wiring. Dude, like what?
• 1:00:08
  But I'm like Mr. Miyagi doesn't have a hidden karate technique
• 1:00:12
  in the chores. Like, hey sensei, how do you
• 1:00:16
  want me to clean this window? It's like I don't give a shit.
• 1:00:19
  I'm all like you can do Waggle on, waggle off.
• 1:00:22
  No, don't care. See.
• 1:00:25
  They should have done that. Oh, no, wait, never mind that.
• 1:00:27
  That was Mr. Miyagi's thing. Never mind, continue.
• 1:00:32
  Says Crees was just like, do it. It's like, OK.
• 1:00:36
  Miguel sees Johnny's old Valley Championship trophies and is
• 1:00:39
  impressed. Johnny tells him that he won the
• 1:00:41
  All Valley Tournament twice and brags that he didn't lose a
• 1:00:43
  single point his junior year, but quickly change the subject
• 1:00:47
  when Miguel inquires about what happened his senior year.
• 1:00:50
  We all know what happened this single year.
• 1:00:52
  Yes, we do. Kid who doesn't?
• 1:00:53
  A kid that doesn't know karate won.
• 1:00:57
  He lost to Daniel. Miguel's mom calls and Miguel
• 1:01:00
  lies, telling her that the debate tournament is running
• 1:01:03
  late because his mom doesn't approve of violence.
• 1:01:05
  Johnny calls Miguel, didn't tell him lame and says he should
• 1:01:08
  change it to Gun the Roses, but Miguel doesn't know what that
• 1:01:10
  is. And that is, that is and right
• 1:01:15
  there that's my, that's probably one of my favorite parts.
• 1:01:19
  He doesn't know what that is. Back-to-back to the clueless.
• 1:01:23
  Well, yeah, the the whole ringtone, you know, not knowing
• 1:01:27
  what that is. And then and then later on,
• 1:01:31
  later on, he does change the ringtone.
• 1:01:32
  But yeah, that's it's just they have him so clueless.
• 1:01:37
  It's just crazy how clueless he is.
• 1:01:40
  What the hell is that ringtone? Yeah.
• 1:01:42
  What is that? Oh, he oh, no, no, no, he says.
• 1:01:44
  Like, what is that? Where?
• 1:01:45
  Where's that coming? From where's that coming from?
• 1:01:47
  You don't know what a ringtone. Is.
• 1:01:49
  Yeah, exactly. It's yeah.
• 1:01:53
  Oh, how? Are you in 2018 and still like
• 1:01:55
  clueless about? Well, he has, He has a flip
• 1:01:59
  phone. Do you remember that?
• 1:02:01
  Or I mean, do you? It's another thing but. 2000s
• 1:02:07
  OK, well, yeah. So I guess, yeah.
• 1:02:09
  Well, so he's not still stuck in the 80s, 'cause they didn't
• 1:02:12
  have, they didn't even have cell phones then.
• 1:02:13
  Well, did they? No, no.
• 1:02:17
  Up until 2000, this is. It's just a flip phone, Yeah,
• 1:02:20
  but you don't get any stuff there yet.
• 1:02:22
  So he hasn't upgraded since like 22,000?
• 1:02:24
  Oh yeah, he he's that. That's my point.
• 1:02:26
  He doesn't upgrade. He's still stuck in whatever
• 1:02:28
  he's doing. He said he'd been living in that
• 1:02:33
  apartment for 10 years. This came out in 2018, So he'd
• 1:02:37
  been living there for since 2008.
• 1:02:39
  Man's been living there since. Like, what?
• 1:02:42
  What's going on in 2008? Myspace.
• 1:02:46
  Not enough phones? Probably not an I iTunes,
• 1:02:53
  iTunes, iTunes Like what? ITunes Maybe around there.
• 1:02:58
  Yeah, but I don't think he even knew like the the whole, like
• 1:03:01
  website thing. He I don't think he ever he
• 1:03:04
  never touched a computer like he he had never touched a computer
• 1:03:07
  either. Yeah, he had.
• 1:03:10
  He was really out of it. Yeah, he was.
• 1:03:14
  Next scene Sam is video chatting with her friends Jasmine and
• 1:03:17
  Moon over a webcam. Yasmine said that her dad felt
• 1:03:20
  bad that she hit a deer and messed her up her car, so he's
• 1:03:24
  buying her a new 10. Great.
• 1:03:26
  Sam says that she still right. Sam says that she still feels
• 1:03:30
  guilty about them rear ending that guy and driving away.
• 1:03:33
  Yasmine seems that the man was unmet and stopping would be in
• 1:03:35
  danger to himself. Daniel comes in to apologize to
• 1:03:38
  Sam, but Sam apologize first. Was not asking permission.
• 1:03:41
  Daniel asks if there's anyone in her friend group he should worry
• 1:03:44
  about, and Sam tells him that she's been texting this guy
• 1:03:46
  Kyler. Daniel's like, just texting,
• 1:03:50
  right? Nothing like, eh.
• 1:03:52
  Oh, gross. Daniel suggests that she invite
• 1:03:55
  him over for dinner. Eh.
• 1:03:56
  It's the first thing you have to ask, right?
• 1:04:06
  Don't like the Mean Girls? Yes, man.
• 1:04:10
  I like moon. I like moon.
• 1:04:14
  Moon feels so free spirited for some reason.
• 1:04:17
  Yes, I can. I can relate to Moon.
• 1:04:19
  I like her. I like Sam too, but I like Moon.
• 1:04:23
  Moon just reminds me of the first two seasons of Boy Music
• 1:04:25
  Bro Topanga. Yes.
• 1:04:28
  Feel like, oh, absolutely. I'm ready for her to do like,
• 1:04:30
  some weird dance and put some lipstick all up her.
• 1:04:33
  Petty uh huh. I I agree.
• 1:04:38
  I agree. School begins and Miguel makes
• 1:04:42
  friends with two social outcasts, Eli and Dimitri.
• 1:04:45
  He knows that Sam and falls in love with her, so he attempts to
• 1:04:48
  talk to her and approach to their table where she is sitting
• 1:04:50
  with Yasmin Moon, but leave when Kyler and Brooks approach the
• 1:04:54
  table. Rhea.
• 1:04:57
  Back at the Dojo, Johnny gets a call from the school regarding
• 1:05:00
  his rebellious son, Robbie. Keane Robbie's mother, who has
• 1:05:05
  custody of him, did not answer the phone because she was at the
• 1:05:07
  bar. Of course, Johnny learns that
• 1:05:09
  Robbie has been picked on for first session of a drug called
• 1:05:12
  Molly. Johnny is confused, thinking
• 1:05:15
  that Molly is a girl's name. I was just gonna say that.
• 1:05:17
  Who's Molly? See.
• 1:05:19
  So stuck. Sir, Molly is a drug.
• 1:05:24
  How do you not know this, Sir? Like, OK, not everybody gets all
• 1:05:29
  fucking. No, it's a drug.
• 1:05:32
  It's like, so that just means he's never done drugs before.
• 1:05:35
  OK. Is that is that your defense for
• 1:05:38
  for Johnny? My defense for Johnny is that he
• 1:05:41
  didn't know what Molly was, and he so he therefore he's been
• 1:05:45
  clean. No drugs, just beer.
• 1:05:47
  No drugs though, OK, they tell him it's not an illegal drug.
• 1:05:55
  Oh, it's a girl's name, not an illegal drug.
• 1:05:57
  Johnny doesn't attempt to tell Robbie to clean up his act, but
• 1:05:59
  Robbie's not the least bit interested in what his estranged
• 1:06:02
  father has to say to say and hangs up.
• 1:06:05
  Johnny notices Miguel's crude technique at first scolds him,
• 1:06:09
  but then tells him that he should picture the dummy as his
• 1:06:11
  enemy, which is what motivates Miguel to picture the dummy as
• 1:06:16
  Kyler. It's like, all right, fine, I
• 1:06:22
  love that part. Like he's getting into it, He's
• 1:06:25
  getting he's, he's, he's getting into it.
• 1:06:28
  But you know that that that is from Karate Kid 3.
• 1:06:36
  The whole board. The kicking in the boards.
• 1:06:39
  Yeah. Or the not the boards.
• 1:06:41
  Sorry. Kicking the boarded guy.
• 1:06:44
  Yeah. If a man can't breed, he can't
• 1:06:47
  fight. Yeah, oh.
• 1:06:50
  Freaking sober. Can't wait to do Daniel invites
• 1:06:59
  Kyler to dinner, where he made his famous little Russo ponzo
• 1:07:01
  Toro with fresh tuna. Preparing with a ceremony in
• 1:07:04
  life that he brought on his first trip to Okinawa, Kyler
• 1:07:08
  declines at saying that sushi and fish grow them out, dude,
• 1:07:12
  but he likes fish sticks. Like what?
• 1:07:16
  Like immediately decides, hey, you're Asian, let me fix you
• 1:07:23
  some sushi. What?
• 1:07:28
  Really, I don't think that that's.
• 1:07:30
  I don't. I don't like sushi and fish,
• 1:07:33
  man, What you doing? I'm like, I don't like sushi and
• 1:07:37
  fish, Sir. Sorry.
• 1:07:39
  And that's why he asked. Like, where are your parents
• 1:07:40
  from? Reseda.
• 1:07:43
  Like what? This greatly upsets Daniel, who
• 1:07:50
  worked hard on it. No, I don't.
• 1:07:52
  Care. How did he work hard on it?
• 1:07:54
  It's it's raw. He didn't do anything to it.
• 1:07:59
  But the reason that he did not like fish eater until a good
• 1:08:02
  friend had him try different Japanese foods.
• 1:08:04
  OK, you're trying to put your your stuff that happened to you
• 1:08:10
  on to this kid. He doesn't know This doesn't
• 1:08:13
  work that way, Sir. OK, why don't you ask Sam to ask
• 1:08:24
  Kyler what he likes to eat 1st and then like, oh cool.
• 1:08:29
  All right, what's his name? Kyler.
• 1:08:32
  Kyler. What kind of name is Kyler?
• 1:08:35
  No, he knew. He knew who he was because she
• 1:08:39
  she told him like this guy that you met him right at the thing,
• 1:08:42
  like, oh, the Asian guy. Yeah, sure.
• 1:08:44
  I'll make him some fresh sushi and tuna.
• 1:08:47
  Don't worry, I got the no, you don't.
• 1:08:52
  Don't assume that people like that sushi.
• 1:08:55
  Not everybody likes sushi. Yeah, not everyone likes sushi,
• 1:09:01
  but he's he's all good on fish sticks.
• 1:09:05
  I'll eat fish sticks but not fish.
• 1:09:07
  It's OK. Not fish.
• 1:09:11
  Try to make small talk anyway. Daniel finds out that Kyler was
• 1:09:14
  in a fight with some guy at a mini mall who used karate.
• 1:09:18
  Because Kyler twisted the story into making it seem like he was
• 1:09:21
  being harassed. He was an asshole.
• 1:09:23
  Yeah, that that made me mad. Like, really?
• 1:09:27
  This is why Johnny doesn't like fucking?
• 1:09:29
  I heard Danny doesn't like Johnny because some guy told
• 1:09:32
  him, hey, this old man kicked my ass.
• 1:09:38
  Really. I'm gonna go talk to him.
• 1:09:40
  You just missed it, dude, What the hell?
• 1:09:45
  Quit trying to like be a nice person about it.
• 1:09:49
  Did you seem good with Johnny? Daniel goes to confront Johnny
• 1:09:52
  about his method. Dude, you beat up some high
• 1:09:54
  school kids. Wrong.
• 1:09:56
  I don't agree with this to argue.
• 1:09:58
  And Johnny tries to warn Daniel about the kind of friends his
• 1:10:01
  daughter has. In turn, Daniel sees and warns
• 1:10:04
  began not to listen to Johnny, or else he will end up just like
• 1:10:07
  him and inform Johnny that his rivalry is not over.
• 1:10:12
  Johnny then challenges Danny on his spot, but Danny waves him
• 1:10:14
  off with a smirk and walks out of the Dojo.
• 1:10:17
  As the two men stare at each other down through the window,
• 1:10:19
  Johnny offered a smirk of his own concluding the episode.
• 1:10:23
  Johnny's all like, shut up, go away, the old man.
• 1:10:27
  Like, go away, Sir, I'm trying to run a fucking Dojo here.
• 1:10:31
  You're just here because you're still hung up on the fact that I
• 1:10:33
  kicked your ass. Except for the tournament, but
• 1:10:40
  still. But how about that look, that's
• 1:10:44
  the and I think that's the that's towards the, that's the
• 1:10:46
  ending, the look that they give each other when he gets in the
• 1:10:49
  car. And then Johnny looks at him.
• 1:10:52
  But then he has a little smirk on his face.
• 1:10:56
  Like a shit ain't over like it. Was it?
• 1:10:58
  Was it was towards us. It was towards that second
• 1:11:01
  episode was for us. It's like, oh, we know you
• 1:11:04
  wanted this. This is the reason why you
• 1:11:06
  wanted this. You wanted us to to fight again.
• 1:11:08
  Here we are. We're fighting again after 40
• 1:11:11
  years. 40 years later, we're still going to fight because
• 1:11:18
  we're old men. One likes jazz, the other one's
• 1:11:21
  still stuck in the 80s. OK, they're old.
• 1:11:24
  You keep referring to them as old men.
• 1:11:25
  They're old guys. Whatever.
• 1:11:26
  But I mean, I'm sorry, but they both look damn good for their
• 1:11:31
  age and they can both fight. OK, yeah.
• 1:11:37
  Well, true. Johnny has to stretch first.
• 1:11:39
  Johnny has to stretch first. Johnny has to stretch first
• 1:11:47
  before he flies. Danny Ozale, I I know karate.
• 1:11:50
  I've been practicing ever since I left the.
• 1:11:54
  Tournament practicing with his daughter and everything when she
• 1:11:57
  was younger. Me doing the whole thing, Miyagi
• 1:12:00
  taught me. That's my stretching.
• 1:12:03
  Right. All right, Episode 3.
• 1:12:10
  All right. Wait, what did you think?
• 1:12:13
  What did you think of this episode?
• 1:12:14
  What did you? Think.
• 1:12:17
  All right. Well, it was definitely.
• 1:12:20
  It's it's just it's it reels you in, let's put it that way.
• 1:12:25
  Especially with those with like Kyler and his group and and then
• 1:12:30
  I like how they introduce Menudo's friends.
• 1:12:34
  Miguel's friends. Miguel's.
• 1:12:37
  Yeah. Like I, you know something's,
• 1:12:39
  something's going to go down when they when they introduce
• 1:12:43
  them and you just you know something's going to go down and
• 1:12:46
  it it just makes you want to keep watching it.
• 1:12:53
  I was ready for one of them. We called Lip, but Lip is from
• 1:12:56
  Shameless so I guess we're not doing.
• 1:13:00
  Yeah, no, yeah. Lip is from Shameless.
• 1:13:02
  I'm like. Oh, true.

• 1:13:18
  that or are we waiting? We'll, we'll.
• 1:13:21
  We'll wait. We'll wait.
• 1:13:22
  We'll wait. Yeah, we haven't gotten that
• 1:13:23
  far. Let's not get ahead of
• 1:13:24
  ourselves. OK, fine, Dimitri.

  And let's just call him Hawk. Oh yes, now see, you're getting
• 1:13:38
  proud of yourself again. Demetri and Eli what?
• 1:13:43
  Eli is Eli. Eli is the the one with the lip
• 1:13:47
  deformity and Demetri is the other nerd, the one, the true
• 1:13:51
  nerd. The one that's like the the one
• 1:13:54
  that was all of us basically is like oh, you you you're gonna
• 1:13:58
  fight. OK.
• 1:13:59
  Yeah, right. That's kind of, yeah.
• 1:14:03
  You're gonna go over there and talk to this girl.

  Go for it. Look at everybody in this table,

• 1:14:10
  one. I'm like, this dude is really

  gonna get his ass kicked throughout the entire scene.
• 1:14:14
  I just know it. Dimitri.
• 1:14:18
  Yeah, I I just felt. Like he's gonna feel for
• 1:14:20
  Dimitri. I I feel for.
• 1:14:23
  I feel for the other one too. Well, OK, again, we're getting
• 1:14:27
  ahead of ourselves. Can't do that.
• 1:14:29
  Yeah. OK.
• 1:14:30
  OK, favorite scene. Oh, I thought I told you this.
• 1:14:38
  OK, it was it's the phone. It's the phone where he the,
• 1:14:42
  the, the ringtone. I know it's just a very little
• 1:14:45
  scene, but like the that ringtone comes on and Johnny is
• 1:14:49
  like, what the Hell's that? And then he wait, did he change
• 1:14:56
  it in this episode, the ringtone, or is that the next
• 1:14:59
  episode? No next episode.
• 1:15:01
  Oh, OK, so there I'm getting ahead of myself.
• 1:15:04
  Yeah. Where he just said that all the
• 1:15:07
  little things in this episode made me laugh from from Johnny
• 1:15:12
  because like just little things like that.
• 1:15:14
  Not knowing what Molly is not knowing what that ringtone where
• 1:15:19
  it was coming from gender when when he says when Miguel's like
• 1:15:24
  your your gender, gender is that gender right.
• 1:15:27
  How do you brutal gender. Yeah.
• 1:15:29
  And he's like, what are you talking about?
• 1:15:31
  What is that? Just like him being so clueless.
• 1:15:34
  I just, I'd laugh at every little thing throughout this
• 1:15:38
  whole episode. When Johnny is just, I don't
• 1:15:41
  know, clueless and dumbfounded, it makes it makes me laugh.
• 1:15:45
  I just, it's I like how they did it.
• 1:15:47
  I really like how they put him, his character, in this.
• 1:15:53
  Favorite scene has to be Daniel Larissa when he wakes up and
• 1:15:58
  it's the exact opposite of Johnny.
• 1:16:01
  Or. Daniel has the great life and
• 1:16:04
  you immediately feel for Johnny. Like, oh, that's true.
• 1:16:08
  That is true. Oh yeah, this.
• 1:16:12
  Is, Yeah. This is why we're cheering for
• 1:16:13
  Johnny. Because this.
• 1:16:14
  Man has everything. He's the underdog.
• 1:16:17
  Yep. He's the underdog.
• 1:16:18
  Yes, yes, absolutely. And I can And I can relate to
• 1:16:22
  see and I personally can relate to Johnny.
• 1:16:25
  I think that's another reason why I like him.
• 1:16:27
  I can really relate to him. And as Daniel I I can't relate
• 1:16:31
  to him at all. But I can relate to Johnny and
• 1:16:34
  and lots of ways it's. Like we immediately fly flipped
• 1:16:40
  on Johnny and and Daniel from the movies.
• 1:16:45
  Like, oh shit, Nah. We're.
• 1:16:46
  Good. Yeah.

• 1:16:58
  Enter Sandman. You ought to Know Cream The
• 1:17:01
  greater goal Move past chief nostalgia to something deeper
• 1:17:05
  and weirder and better. My name is Rob Harvilla, I'm a
• 1:17:08
  music critic at The Ringer, and my new show is called indeed 60
• 1:17:12
  Songs That Explain the 90s. Since that title is fairly
• 1:17:15
  self-explanatory, I figured I'd explain who qualifies me to host
• 1:17:19
  this. Here's my resume.
• 1:17:21
  In 1992, I won a trophy for wearing more corduroy and
• 1:17:24
  flannel than any other 13 year old in America.
• 1:17:27
  Freshman year of college, I was in a third wave ska band that
• 1:17:30
  broke up and reformed without me.
• 1:17:32
  As an emo band. I nearly started a civil war at
• 1:17:35
  my college radio station by putting You Got Me by the Roots
• 1:17:38
  and Heavy Rotation. I cried the first time I heard
• 1:17:41
  York's hyper ballad, which incidentally occurred somewhere
• 1:17:44
  between the ska band and the emo band.
• 1:17:46
  One time I wrote out the lyrics to Sunny Day Real Estates in
• 1:17:49
  Circles by hand and mailed them to a girl.
• 1:17:52
  All of those are true, except the first one.
• 1:17:54
  This is my perspective. Crucially, in every episode I'll
• 1:17:58
  be joined by fellow writers, critics, musicians, enthusiasts,
• 1:18:01
  and ringer luminaries with wildly different perspectives.
• 1:18:04

• 1:18:07

  which is the reference to the recurring line The Karate Kid.
• 1:20:29
  Three. No, not yet.
• 1:20:31
  Not that one. It's called a skeleto, which is
• 1:20:36
  Spanish for a skeleton. Oh, OK.
• 1:20:40
  I was gonna. I was gonna ask you if you knew.
• 1:20:42
  I I did not know. That's what it meant.
• 1:20:45
  I wonder. I wondered.
• 1:20:47
  Which is a reference to Karate Kid One when they're all wearing
• 1:20:52
  skeletons for Halloween. Yes, yeah.
• 1:20:57
  I have I have something on that later when we get to that.
• 1:21:02
  Seb Nasis Johnny tries to recruit more students to join
• 1:21:05
  the Dojo. Troubled by his daughter's
• 1:21:06
  friend Daniel chaperone her high school costume dance, Johnny
• 1:21:10
  takes Miguel's training seriously and starts creating a
• 1:21:12
  badass. The episode opens with a night
• 1:21:16
  time shot looking over to Los Angeles Sets the strains of some
• 1:21:19
  1980s hair metal, of course, before it cuts to Miguel's
• 1:21:24
  grandmother cooking dinner for the family.
• 1:21:26
  She calls to Miguel in his room, but mistakes the sound of his
• 1:21:29
  karate practice as masturbation. Over to Dan.
• 1:21:33
  There, the family discusses what Miguel's costume should be for
• 1:21:35
  schools. Halloween dance.
• 1:21:36
  Miguel suggests jetpool, but note that the costume is
• 1:21:38
  expensive. Miguel's mom looks over at his
• 1:21:45
  hand and said what happened? He said I hurt myself, Grandma
• 1:21:49
  says. Oh, is that what you're calling
• 1:21:51
  it? Like, what?
• 1:21:56
  Wait, wait. He says.
• 1:21:58
  What? Grandma, What?
• 1:21:59
  What are you talking about? Wait, no.
• 1:22:01
  What did she just say? Oh man, that's hilarious.
• 1:22:08
  I love that Muppet. As for the song that he was
• 1:22:13
  listening to, Let Me Go Look Black by Carrie Kimmel.
• 1:22:34
  OK, maybe not. We'll see.
• 1:22:43
  Well, put it in there. Meanwhile, Daniel's insecurity
• 1:22:47
  about Sam's relationship with Kyler reaches its peak to the
• 1:22:52
  extent that he is willing to sneak into his daughter's room
• 1:22:55
  and read her messages in which Kyler claims to have something
• 1:22:59
  big to show her at the school dance.
• 1:23:03
  Daniel volunteers the chaperone to dance to keep an eye on her,
• 1:23:05
  but Sam makes a promise that he will not embarrass her.
• 1:23:07
  I Come on, Really, Mom. He's gonna embarrass me like
• 1:23:13
  what a freaking kid, man. Like it's not like you're going
• 1:23:22
  to be ousted by him. He's just watching over the
• 1:23:25
  entire schools, everybody else. But same time, he did read her
• 1:23:32
  instant messages and thought, OK, I'm just going to keep an
• 1:23:36
  eye on her. Something big.
• 1:23:43
  Right? At school, the guidance
• 1:23:45
  counselor does a presentation on cyberbullying and not so
• 1:23:48
  disability, telling how Eli has recently been victimized by it.
• 1:23:53
  Miguel tells Eli and Dimitri that he can get them both
• 1:23:56
  discounts at Cobra Kai so that they can fight back, but neither
• 1:23:59
  are interested. Ayesha approaches Sam with the
• 1:24:02
  idea of going through the dance as sodium and chloride,
• 1:24:04
  respectively, because Sam tells her that she had already planned
• 1:24:07
  on going with Jasmine and Moon as Laker Girls, because Laker
• 1:24:10
  girls were good at the time. Good costumes.
• 1:24:15
  Sam offers to order another costume so that Aisha can join
• 1:24:18
  them, but Yasmin truthfully rebuffs her on account of her
• 1:24:21
  size. Already hate Yasmin?
• 1:24:24
  I don't like her at all. She is a typical mean girl.
• 1:24:34
  Sodium and chloride make salt as Aisha dates and like what do you
• 1:24:44
  guys mean Sodium and chlorine and Na and sea Na?
• 1:24:52
  Sea salt Gloria. It's like getting a little salty
• 1:24:56
  there. But you know Yasmin doesn't get
• 1:25:00
  it. At the Cobra Kai Dojo, Johnny
• 1:25:04
  has review seed several past due notice in the mail.
• 1:25:07
  You have to pay bills. Desperate to pay the bills, he
• 1:25:10
  asked Miguel if he had. I was interested in taking
• 1:25:12
  karate, but suspects he doesn't have any.
• 1:25:14
  When Miguel suggests advertising Johnny bribe the homeless woman
• 1:25:17
  to help draw attention to the Dojo, it's Lynn.
• 1:25:22
  Homeless Lynn, homeless woman. Lynn hey, Lynn's a homeless
• 1:25:27
  woman while he walks the streets and handing out Flyers, but his
• 1:25:32
  efforts are either ignored or met with ridicule.
• 1:25:35
  She ends up just using it, as you know, I, I, I need to block
• 1:25:41
  the sun. He returns to the Dojo where
• 1:25:44
  Miguel's here to show off the new corporate Kai web page he
• 1:25:46
  developed. Study hall.
• 1:25:48
  Impressed, Johnny tells Miguel to meet him at the high school
• 1:25:50
  at midnight for her lesson and kicking, which involved Johnny
• 1:25:53
  trying Miguel's hands together, tying Miguel's hands together
• 1:25:57
  and pushing him into the swimming pool with practice,
• 1:25:59
  Miguel is eventually able to break forward with his feet.
• 1:26:02
  He and Johnny then prepare for the school dance, but Johnny
• 1:26:05
  rejects Miguel's shoddy, homely costume and proposes a different
• 1:26:08
  one, stating that Cobra Kai has a reputation to uphold.
• 1:26:14
  Miguel tends to dance in a skeleton costume identical to
• 1:26:17
  those worn by the Cobra Kai in the 1980s.
• 1:26:20
  And there it is. That costume.
• 1:26:25
  The costume. And did you, did you, do you
• 1:26:31
  remember when he or when Danielle saw him walk by in that
• 1:26:36
  costume? Yeah, had moment of flashbacks
• 1:26:41
  triggered again. Triggered again.
• 1:26:45
  I'm sorry but that costume is creepy.
• 1:26:48
  I thought it was creepy in the in Karate Kid when they were
• 1:26:53
  dressed as. I don't know why, but I just.
• 1:26:55
  I just thought those were those just it was just creepy.
• 1:26:57
  I don't maybe because they were worn by bullies or something,
• 1:27:01
  but it. I don't know.
• 1:27:04
  And like, at the time, what dude, that time Daniel was
• 1:27:07
  wearing a. Shower curt, Shower curt.
• 1:27:10
  And he goes to put water on them while Johnny taking a poop.
• 1:27:17
  Yeah. Who's the boy?
• 1:27:18
  No. Well, he was.
• 1:27:19
  He was also. He was also rolling.
• 1:27:23
  Oh, yeah, he was. He was, he was rolling narcotic
• 1:27:26
  narcotic. Well, I don't know how what we
• 1:27:28
  can say on here, but yeah, he was doing that actually in the
• 1:27:33
  in the fall. He was rolling that good stuff,
• 1:27:35
  see? And it wasn't.
• 1:27:37
  It was it was good drug, not bad drug.
• 1:27:40
  He just did what Molly is, though.
• 1:27:45
  As long as you call it weed, As long as it's not no smoking
• 1:27:48
  dope. But but the shower curtain, I
• 1:27:51
  mean, I thought that was clever, didn't you?
• 1:27:54
  That was a clever costume, it. Was.
• 1:27:58
  Yeah 'cause he needed to be invisible, remember?
• 1:28:02
  Yeah. Yeah, Mr. Miyagi did good.
• 1:28:05
  I'm just going to reference him a lot because I liked him.
• 1:28:07
  I miss him. Oh, Daniel's disturbed by the
• 1:28:13
  side and begins to follow Miguel.
• 1:28:15
  But when he knows the cobra Kai flyer taped the ball, he leaves
• 1:28:18
  the dance from front. Johnny, he's posting Flyers all
• 1:28:20
  over the school. At that moment.
• 1:28:22
  He's by Sam leaving the dance hand in hand with Kyler.
• 1:28:26
  Like Johnny was right. Like I'm posting flyer for my
• 1:28:32
  business. You should mind your own
• 1:28:33
  business, right? Like, get away, dude.
• 1:28:37
  Oh, shut up. I'm doing my business, man.
• 1:28:41
  I'm trying to get paid. What are you trying to do to me?
• 1:28:45
  Kyler and Sam end up in an empty classroom.
• 1:28:47
  Danny interrupting but completely misinterpreted and
• 1:28:50
  innocent interacting as sexual in nature.
• 1:28:53
  Hey, help me with my belt. Feel sexual?
• 1:28:56
  OK, Like, what the hell did? You can't do it yourself.
• 1:29:04
  This makes Sam furious. She leaves immediately.
• 1:29:07
  Dad, why do you have to embarrass me again?
• 1:29:11
  She tells Jasmine she's ready to leave.
• 1:29:12
  But Jasmine can ever sit, posting a cool pig meme about
• 1:29:15
  Aisha eating a snack table Before they go, Aisha is
• 1:29:19
  immediately humiliated while Samantha watches in silence,
• 1:29:21
  causing her Aisha to leave the dance while the others laugh.
• 1:29:24
  She could have said something to her, like even later.
• 1:29:28
  It's like Ayesha, tell her go away.
• 1:29:31
  Don't. Don't even think about it.
• 1:29:32
  Go away. Miguel takes a bathroom break
• 1:29:36
  with his friends in the boys locker room, but they run a file
• 1:29:38
  of Kyler's Ganglion. OK, go back to them using the
• 1:29:41
  bathroom. The blood game urinals.
• 1:29:44
  Dude, how are you gonna wash your hands?
• 1:29:47
  Was he planning on washing his hands with those gloves on?
• 1:29:52
  Like what? You did it with the gloves on.
• 1:29:57
  What are you doing? But no.
• 1:30:02
  OK, just. All right.
• 1:30:04
  What are you gonna do after? Like.
• 1:30:06
  Oh my God. They run afoul of Kyler Yang
• 1:30:11
  once more after hearing them sexually objectify Samantha.
• 1:30:16
  After they mock Miguel's karate and Dragon attack him again,
• 1:30:18
  Miguel left defend for himself, Knocks Kyler down with jumping
• 1:30:22
  front kick, but the gang quickly sees him and delivers a vicious
• 1:30:26
  beating. Afterwards I dismayed Johnny
• 1:30:28
  locates his fallen student and takes it.
• 1:30:32
  And that's the end of that episode.
• 1:30:35
  The song you were saying was Rat.
• 1:30:39
  Yeah, rat round and round. Rat.
• 1:30:42
  Lay it down by Rat. What?
• 1:30:46
  And he lay it down by Rat. Oh.
• 1:30:50
  Was it laid down? No, it was round and round.
• 1:30:54
  Round and round by rat is the ringtone that played.
• 1:31:00
  When he changed. Well, he changed his ringtone
• 1:31:03
  and then he said he went down a whole rabbit hole and got into
• 1:31:06
  the the the 80s music and it's actually really cool.
• 1:31:09
  Yeah, he. Did it just he did it just for
• 1:31:13
  him. He did it just for Johnny.
• 1:31:14
  But Johnny. Feels like a proud dad.
• 1:31:17
  Yes, yes, that's what I was just gonna say.
• 1:31:18
  And the look on Johnny's face, I love that part that that's
• 1:31:21
  that's my going to ask me what my favorite scene is.
• 1:31:24
  Anyway, so that was my favorite scene when he did that.
• 1:31:28
  And then you know, he just had this he he did, he had this
• 1:31:31
  proud look on his face. And I just.
• 1:31:33
  I love that part. And it's the same freaking
• 1:31:37
  episode where he's his his son's guidance counselor calls and
• 1:31:42
  he's like, what? What do you want me to do with
• 1:31:45
  him? He doesn't want me.
• 1:31:46
  So here's another kid. And I was like, oh dude, I'm
• 1:31:49
  proud of you. I'm like, damn, that sucks 80s.
• 1:31:58
  I love that there's 80s hair metal song on this episode, on
• 1:32:02
  these episodes so far, Daniel oh.
• 1:32:07
  Another another 80s thing I caught too is his his jacket,
• 1:32:13
  Jean jacket. The Jean jacket.
• 1:32:16
  Yeah. Or is it the?
• 1:32:22
  Canadian Tuxedo. His yeah, Canadian tuxedo, his
• 1:32:25
  wardrobe, the Jean jacket. This Jean jacket I was worn when
• 1:32:30
  he's in all these other movies, is that the same Jean jacket
• 1:32:34
  from the 80s? From his 80s movies.
• 1:32:36
  Did he? I mean, it very well could be,
• 1:32:40
  but I don't know. I did not Fact Check that.
• 1:32:46
  There are other movies that he was in, just one of the guys.
• 1:32:49
  Yes. The exact same jacket.
• 1:32:52
  He was just one of the guys that is that I love that movie.
• 1:32:55
  And yeah, that's the one. I was OK.
• 1:32:57
  Yeah, Yeah. He did have a Jean jacket on,
• 1:32:59
  didn't he? Did he have the same sunglasses
• 1:33:01
  too? He probably did.
• 1:33:07
  Oh my God, I don't think about the I don't think he had the
• 1:33:16
  same sunglasses, but he in every movie that he was ever in, in
• 1:33:20
  the 80s, he was just like bully like Ray to five people.
• 1:33:25
  Maybe it was a maybe it was a wardrobe budget thing, but the
• 1:33:27
  they had to use the same jacket. I don't know.
• 1:33:32
  Probably. Maybe that was the 80s, right?
• 1:33:37
  Yeah, so your favorite scene was that one.
• 1:33:39
  My favorite scene was doing the whole skeleton thing and just
• 1:33:44
  like fucking Daniel has a heart attack and remembers all the
• 1:33:50
  time he got beat up by the. It's like, yes, that's what you
• 1:33:53
  get triggered, triggered by that dude triggered Daniel.
• 1:33:57
  Poor. Daniel.
• 1:34:00
  Daniel was triggered by Cobra Kai like running amok.
• 1:34:08
  But it was only one. I mean, they weren't all dressed
• 1:34:11
  in the skeleton costume like all three of them.
• 1:34:13
  It was just, it was just Miguel. Right.
• 1:34:17
  He was just one person. And yeah, just one.
• 1:34:19
  And you have two. Where?
• 1:34:23
  What do you call it? Was it Eli?
• 1:34:24
  Was a a doctor? Yeah, and.
• 1:34:33
  The other one was a necromancer, from what I remember.
• 1:34:36
  A necromancer. Like like I'm a priest.
• 1:34:40
  No Sir, I'm a necromancer. We didn't know.
• 1:34:44
  What are you doing? Such a nerd.
• 1:34:47
  I like him. I like him a lot.
• 1:34:53
  No, yeah. Oh no, go ahead.
• 1:34:59
  No, we're good. I was just going to say the
• 1:35:01
  ending to the the ending to this broke my heart with the when he
• 1:35:07
  got, when he got beat up in the bathroom and because that's how
• 1:35:11
  it ended, he got beat up in the bathroom and then Johnny found
• 1:35:15
  him and then right there it just ended and you're like, oh, here
• 1:35:19
  we go. Yeah, like, oh, now he's going
• 1:35:22
  to show him what's up. All that stuff.
• 1:35:25
  Yeah, I hated that. Anything else that we might have
• 1:35:35
  missed? I was going to ask you about the
• 1:35:42
  the the pool scene. Oh.
• 1:35:45
  The kicking. Yeah, yeah, I I liked his.
• 1:35:50
  His, Yeah, his technique. I liked Johnny's technique where
• 1:35:55
  he pushed him into the pool and didn't think to ask if he could
• 1:35:58
  swim. That was probably another
• 1:36:00
  favorite part of mine, actually. Lift him up.
• 1:36:03
  Are you OK? Yeah.
• 1:36:04
  Oh shit. Forgot to ask him if he could
• 1:36:06
  swim. Just keep kicking.
• 1:36:09
  Just keep kicking. Just keep swimming.
• 1:36:11
  OK, So he starts kicking and kicking and kicking.
• 1:36:13
  He's like, eh, that leaves like a 5 minute little montage there
• 1:36:17
  until security shows up. It's like, oh shit, we gotta go.
• 1:36:24
  I love it. So what did you think of all
• 1:36:29
  these three episodes? Are we?
• 1:36:30
  Are we like, were you? What episode were you hooked?
• 1:36:34
  Like in the first for real or in the second the.
• 1:36:36
  First one, I don't know. I mean, I'd have to probably say
• 1:36:45
  the. I'd have to say the first.
• 1:36:47
  I'd have to say the first because because I was I I really
• 1:36:50
  was, I was a hardcore Karate Kid fan.
• 1:36:54
  So yeah, yeah. I'm sorry, but I not gonna lie,
• 1:36:58
  I really was. I still AM.
• 1:37:00
  And I just that I just had to see where this was gonna go.
• 1:37:05
  So yeah, definitely hooked on the first episode.
• 1:37:07
  For anybody that has not seen Cobra Kai, I highly suggest that
• 1:37:12
  you watch it. It is, it is good.
• 1:37:14
  Good. Right before July 18 hits
• 1:37:17
  before. July 18th Yes and.
• 1:37:22
  There's gonna be 5 episodes or you can wait until March.
• 1:37:26
  Goodness. I I see.
• 1:37:28
  I can't do it. I I can't do it.
• 1:37:30
  I have to watch. I have to watch them when they
• 1:37:32
  come out. And then I'll just complain
• 1:37:34
  that, you know, we have to wait for the next 5.
• 1:37:37
  That's what I'm going to do. Exactly why?
• 1:37:40
  I'm just like let's do like a few of these episodes and then
• 1:37:45
  do a stand alone episode and then at the end of the season do
• 1:37:50
  2 episodes and just like remark on like 2 episodes re watch them
• 1:37:54
  and then the next season do. Because by the time we get to
