Peter Jensen here. I used to be able to scarf a

lot. Now I struggle with a plate.
4:24
It's so sad. AI understand.
4:27
I understand. I before diabetes, I was a feast
4:31
champion. You know, nobody wanted to
4:33
invite me to Thanksgiving. None of the family.
4:36
Now they're like, oh, you have diabetes.
4:38
Come on over. Wow.
4:41
Wow, because you're not gonna eat shit.
4:46
I'm like what? Yeah, he won't be eating in the
4:49
pie. I'm not eating pie.
4:51
I'm not eating anything else. Yes.
4:58
Like because the other family members also have diabetes.
5:01
So like, hey, it's a small group, small meal, small
5:07
leftover with all that, you know, like, hey, what that lemon
5:12
square, You can't eat that. Like, come on, come on, you
5:18
can't eat that. Like I never liked them in the
5:20
first place for anyone while laughing your ass off.
5:30
Yeah, comedians always use their their personal experience and
5:34
yeah, talk about that stuff. Yeah, personal experience with
5:40
personal growth. Stand up right there and one
5:44
hand in your pocket, the other one on the stand.
5:49
So yeah. How's everything?
5:55
All right, What is next? Are we talking Coldplay?
6:03
Did you do you have that in front of you?
6:06
I watched it once. No, I meant what I sent about it
6:15
because I did not write it down 'cause I I got.
6:18
It I got it. I got it OK.
6:20
In October, Coldplay released the song The Karate Kid, and
6:24
it's exactly what you think it's about, down to the lyric about
6:28
Daniel. That, of course, is the name of
6:31
the lead character played by Roth Macho in three Karate Kid
6:35
movies and 6:00 seasons of Netflix.
6:37
This the karate Cobra Kai. After Macho heard the tune, he
6:45
shared it on social media. And that's when Coldplay
6:48
concocted a plan. Frontman Chris Martin asked
6:50
Macho to come to Australia where they were playing series of date
6:53
and film the music video. The roots included bringing the
6:56
actor on stage to help perform The Karate Kid.
7:01
Macho says it was just one of those whirlwind sings who just
7:05
returned from Down Under. It's just a beautiful track.
7:09
It blew my mind that he wrote the song just from the film,
7:11
which meant so much to him. We certainly had an impact 41
7:16
years ago, at least for young Chris Martin.
7:17
Coldplay. It never refuses to amaze me the
7:20
emotions and feelings that he did.
7:22
The original film still carried to the decade.
7:25
Just came on Variety. Read the whole article.
7:31
It's on Variety, but it was a cold.
7:35
Play so. Yeah, it was a cute thing.
7:39
I I enjoyed the music video. I did too.
7:42
I I've watched it several times and I thought it was really
7:45
good. I was trying to like break it,
7:47
not break it down, but I wanted to know why, like what it was
7:52
about, really. So that's why I went and I found
7:54
that article and I thought that was kind of cool.
7:57
And for those that don't know, it's Coldplay.
7:59
The Karate Kid is on YouTube at the moment.
8:02
It is a 3 minute video. I think that 323 seconds is
8:06
really fun and short video. Pretty cool.
8:09
I loved it. Roth, Macho as Daniel is out in
8:17
Australia, out on the streets trying like, playing the piano,
8:22
front of people outside asking for money and he just wants to
8:28
make it to the concert. Yeah, right.
8:32
Yeah. That's kind of what I took from
8:34
it, sort of yeah, Yeah. And then the guy came with the
8:38
tickets and he treat. Yeah.
8:40
I thought that was pretty cool. And then the fact that they get
8:43
him up on stage, I just. I thought that whole thing was
8:45
kind of cool. It was like, you know, that'd be
8:48
cool if it's anybody that got to go see like, say, their favorite
8:51
band and they got pulled up on stage and that's an amazing
8:54
experience, so. Alright so theory, will they
9:00
play this at the end of Korra Kai or during or or during The
9:08
Karate Kid legacy movie? Oh, it's definitely in The
9:12
Karate Kid legacy movie. My for sure.
9:15
I mean, I'm not saying 9099%, I think it is.
9:19
I hope so. I guess I haven't seen it yet.
9:21
It's not even out yet. I know it but.
9:24
Next, was it March? What does it call?
9:28
March. Is it March?
9:30
I wanna say March 2025. It ends in April.
9:33
In February it ends. Cobra Kai ends in February, so.
9:37
And it comes out like right after Cobra Kai ends somewhere
9:40
around there. Yeah, around there.
9:44
So I'm thinking it's gonna, it's if it doesn't play throughout
9:48
the movie, it's gonna play in the ending credits.
9:51
And that would be like, Oh my. God, the ending of Cobra Kai.
9:55
Yeah, no, the ending credit. No, no, not the ending credits
9:57
of Cobra Kai, but the ending credits of Karate Kid Legacy.
10:02
Because that, that would be like tearjerker right there.
10:07
Well, yeah, I mean, they did, they did it.
10:10
I I would be, I would be disappointed if it was not in
10:13
the movie or like you said, end of credits.
10:16
But I feel it should be in the movie.
10:18
But. Should be in the movie.
10:21
You know, like Peter in Glory of Love was in Karate Kid 2.
10:26
Yeah. Oh, never seen Koverkai.
10:31
Peter, you. Do it.
10:33

12:29
crush on the blonde dude in it? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:33
Chicks dig kicks. Chicks dig the dude.
12:37
Yeah, I mean, kicks hit chicks anyway.
12:40
So subtle. Subtle.
12:46
And that's the name of this episode as well.
12:51
I'm, I'm thinking there's probably a lot that have the
12:55
crush on Ralph Macchio, who plays Daniel back in Why are
13:00
you? Why are you looking like that?
13:02
Pony Boy. Yes, I am sure that there are
13:06
probably a lot of Gen. X or even not John Xers that
13:12
have a thing or had a thing for Daniel in The Karate Kid days
13:17
and maybe still do now. I don't know why you're looking
13:21
with that, just whatever. The skinny little Jersey boy.
13:29
I'm sorry, the one that kicks Johnny's ass at the end.
13:31
Yeah, him. The one that used an illegal
13:33
move? Oh my God.
13:39
The one that got the girl. Oh.
13:41
Oh my God, the one that dumped him, the one that the one that.
13:49
Got the other girl. The one he left in Japan, the
13:56
wow, we're chosen the guy that almost wanted to her in a in a
14:06
in in in a in an island. Yeah, And.
14:09
And Daniel took care of that. He saved her life.
14:12
Thank you. You saved her life.
14:18
You saved her life. Hero Complex, I tell you.
14:24
Welcome in. Welcome in for those tuning in,
14:29
we are doing Cobra Kai Season 4 episode 6 Kicks Get Chicks which
14:34
got a 7.8 rating on IMDb. Thank you.
14:46
Appreciate that. You have to edit that out.
14:49
No, I'm not doing that. Appreciate that.
14:53
I'm glad you all are excited for that.
14:56
I'm kidding. No, over the weekend I did
15:03
something and somebody asked what kind of geek are you?
15:07
And I said, you know what? I'm an analytic statistics.
15:12
So I went back to the first episode of Cobra Kai, the first
15:18
season, first episode from IMDb and like look through all of
15:23
them, all six seasons, made a spreadsheet of all six seasons,
15:35
episode numbers, episode titles, the rating on IMDb, the writer
15:43
and director. And I wrote those down.
15:45
Like some of these writers and directors have been in there a
15:48
few times before. And I wanted to go back and
15:51
like, hey, so this guy directed this episode, but he also
15:54
directed the other episode that we like so much.
15:57
So I wanted to keep track of those and put them on a
16:00
spreadsheet and see how they work.
16:03
And not only that, I was like, you know what?
16:05
Let me include the ratings of these episodes and see how they
16:07
went. Yeah, I did that for all six
16:11
seasons and 10 episodes of each. And then we're coming back on
16:15
Season 6 on February 13th, around February for five more
16:20
episodes. So for this episode, Kick the
16:27
Chicks got a 7.8 rating on IMDb. It was written by Mattea Green,
16:32
who also wrote Season 3's episode 8, The Good, the Bad and
16:35
the Badass, which we remember. It was the City Council episode
16:41
and it got a rating of 8.3 on IMDb.
16:48
It was directed by Joel Novia who previously directed episode
16:51
5 Match Point, which got a rating of 8.5.
16:57
So they figure, let's bring these two together, right And
17:02
but kick your chicks out 7.8. Joe Navarre is an accomplished
17:06
film and television director and producer.
17:08
Born in New York but raised in Caracas, Venezuela.
17:12
Joe holds a law degree and an MFA indirectly from AFI American
17:17
Film Industry. Variety named institution.
17:20
Variety named Joel as one of 10 directors to watch.
17:23
He directed 3 IRL episodes for him Brothers and two Blood and
17:26
Treasure episodes for CBS. One of the episodes was named
17:29
best episode of the year by separate specialty sites.
17:33
Joel also has a deal with MGM at the Co Executive Producer
17:37
Project and got The Negro starring Diego Momenta and
17:40
produced by Robert Rodriguez. So he comes in bearing the best
17:46
episode director stuff, so you know, he has more episodes to
17:53
direct on Cobra Kai later in the season.
17:56
But right now I was like, this one's pretty good.
17:58
So what's the last one? Some NASA's a major change to
18:04
the upcoming tournament. Since Johnny's scrambling to
18:06
find a newer Truth or Eagle Pang, Tory must ask a favor of
18:10
the Russo as Episode 5, we left off on Johnny leaving Miyagido
18:25
and going his separate way against Daniel.
18:28
Also the we find out that they shaved hot head.
18:33
He's now Eli again. They got hot.
18:35
They like shaved off and stuff. So we thought like no longer hot
18:40
and blah blah. So that happened in the last
18:43
episode, of course. Like we enjoyed it, but we
18:49
didn't like it. I.
18:51
Especially didn't like the ending the way it ended the last
18:54
episode of. Course the show opens up the All
18:59
Valley committee, they're talking about the upcoming
19:01
tournament, they recap about the last tournament, how successful
19:04
it was, and now it's time to make updates.
19:07
Sue talks about how there has been female interest in karate,
19:10
while Gavin talked about how man hitting woman is seen as an
19:13
issue problematic. After hours of arguing, they
19:17
proposed to have a growth division, a skilled competition
19:19
and finally agreed to the changes by unanimous decision.
19:24
I don't know what the hell the problem was with the whole God
19:27
help us all. Right, I don't either.
19:30
That that would that would be necessary to go in there like I
19:35
don't even. Understand what the problem was
19:37
because this all Valley tournament has been going on for
19:39
years and years and years and all of a sudden they want to
19:42
change it now. All of a sudden.
19:46
Men hitting women is. Probably like want to split
19:49
gender, you know, genders and all this stuff.
19:51
It's like, come on. Yeah.
19:55
They do. And put in the skills
19:57
competition as well, so. Well, OK, put the skills
19:59
competition in, but why in the hell do you need to separate
20:03
guys and girls? Like, this is 20, this is the
20:06
2000. Yeah, whatever. 20/20/2019
20:09
Still. Well, yeah, it's the late 2000s.
20:12
That's what I'm saying. Like, why would you do that?
20:15
They've been doing this tournament since the 80s, so why
20:23
change things now? Why?
20:25
Why change something that's not, well, change if it's not broken
20:29
like there was no issue? Next seen Miyagido, Cobra Kai
20:34
and Eagle Fang all learned the updates tournament in their
20:37
respective sensei have different views about them.
20:40
Daniel's happy about the update and tells the students to put
20:43
everything behind them. Sam is happy there's a girl
20:46
division is her, but Dimitri says they're all a bunch of
20:50
Rudy's Rudy as in Daniel Rudy Rudiger, who Harper dreams of
20:55
playing football at the University of Notre Dame.
20:57
Despite significant obstacles, John Austin played him in the
21:02
title role of the biographical sports film.
21:06
Chris says they are better off with Hawk and Miguel and
21:08
Dimitri. Azin or he that shall not be
21:11
named and it rhymes with Dobby. Dobby is a character on here.
21:24
Of course you would have to tell me that.
21:27
Thanks for letting me know. You're welcome.
21:29
Just, you know, never. Yeah, because I know.
21:31
I haven't seen it. Yes, I know.
21:33
It's a running joke. Daniel tries to inspire his
21:36
class by saying that by the time the tournament comes around,
21:39
they're going to realize is the best thing that could have
21:42
happened. Optical flip to Johnny on the
21:45
other hand, saying it's the worst thing to ever happen.
21:49
He isn't happy about the update and he tells his class how kata
21:52
is only choreography it is. Are you really going to put down
21:59
kata now? Really.
22:03
He also he also wasn't happy about the girls division, but
22:06
Miguel says that they need female students.
22:09
Bert recommends someone from the debate team, but Johnny rejects
22:12
the idea. Miguel says Sam can give them a
22:15
chance, but Johnny also rejects the idea because he doesn't want
22:17
to deal with Baruso Optical Flip to Cobra Kai Dojo.
22:23
Terry and Chris are excited about the update.
22:25
They're all having fun, you know, drinking beer and all that
22:30
stuff like these two are hate each other now, blah, blah,
22:32
blah, and say that they win the tournament even before it
22:37
happened. New gear comes in and Terry says
22:39
it'll help promote them with crease, saying they should add
22:41
champion on the back. Terry already using his
22:46
resources, his money to bring in new stuff, new gear.
22:54
Feels like Cobra Kai has been boring this whole time.
22:56
And like, all they needed was somebody to like, you know,
23:01
what's that thing called? Fund it.
23:03
Funded. Yeah, go fund me.
23:07
There you go. Tori arrived at Corporate Kai
23:14
where her Aunt Candace played by record the Lions who appeared on
23:17
the Falcon in the Window soldier as Senator Atwood.
23:20
She approaches Tori and asked about her mom's disability.
23:24
Her mom's disability check with Tori counter saying that she
23:26
needs that money. She praised her quick temper and
23:29
changes her choice of words. Canada reminds her that she is
23:32
only she is the only person who can be a legal guardian for her
23:35
little brother. She also tells her that she is
23:38
also a criminal, knows how to progress process those the
23:42
conversations were her on stage, that because of her status she
23:44
lose the case and get ready for her mom's funeral.
23:51
Is it just me or did you want to?
23:52
Like I want to say bitch slap but I probably shouldn't say
23:57
that bitch slap her. Bitching.
23:59
Yeah, the aunt. Yeah, like the what the fuck's
24:04
around with her that she would say that tongue about her
24:08
sister? Her own sister.
24:11
She dead yet? No.
24:14
Well, can you make sure she knows so we can get that check?
24:17
So rude. And did you see that cameo
24:20
though, in the background? Oh, of the what's her name?
24:25
Homeless Lynn is back. Yeah, I couldn't think of her.
24:29
Name Homeless Lynn is back and I was like dad said I'm watching
24:33
her. Or maybe there was a deleted
24:34
scene where she was just talking a whole bunch of smack 'cause
24:37
you can't have a, you can't have Homeless Lynn there and not talk
24:41
smack. I know why.
24:42
Why didn't she like butt in or say something?
24:45
I was waiting for her to say something, anything.
24:49
Especially Candace who looked like she was homeless.
24:51
Also, it's like, hey, this is my street, this is my corner.
24:55
I know she always talks shit to Johnny.
24:58
Looks like a homeless man. Next thing, Johnny goes to the
25:08
West Valley High School field with Miguel in order to look for
25:10
a female student. Problematic.
25:13
But all of his attempt and failure problematic.
25:18
Oh my God. Oh.
25:19
That whole scene was just funny. I'm like, oh, this is so
25:23
horrible. No, please don't do this, OK?
25:26
I'm looking for girls and like Oh my God.
25:28
They have to be under 18 and they have to be under 18 and.
25:32
You have not to kick ass. So I'm like, oh God, that why,
25:37
why, why? It's just so wrong.
25:43
They end in failure, but everybody else all like, you
25:46
know, hey, there's a creeper out there, like trying to recruit
25:51
girls for his special something, clubbing something, and which
25:56
they get told by Moon and but you know, Meow and Johnny
25:59
approach Moon. They offer her to join Eagle
26:02
Fang. But then she's all like, do I
26:03
have to fight people? And she's like, yeah, they all
26:06
like, yeah, and and Nah, I don't do that.
26:11
Directs them to her ex-girlfriend Piper and says
26:14
she's the bad best athlete but they're like she's all like we
26:21
have to talk to her in a different way that you usually
26:23
talk to people Johnny and Johnny's like what what what's
26:27
wrong what what did I do? Next thing realizing how bad
26:35
situation, Tori goes back to Larusso house and seeks help
26:38
from Amanda. Tori explains to her that
26:41
Principal Lopez is allowing her to go back to school due to her
26:43
home situation, but the Larusso have to agree.
26:46
Amanda praises how she wants to life to how she wants her life,
26:51
Sam's life back together and going to school to start and
26:54
Tori promises her to stay away from Sam.
26:57
She also tells her to find therapy due to her current
26:59
obstacles. When Daniel Samantha come home,
27:02
Sam is angry about Tori coming back to the house.
27:06
Oh Sam got all heated. I'm like, damn girl, wish you
27:14
were like that when Tori was coming at you.
27:17
I don't see how her how her parents would think that she
27:21
would react. I mean, come on.
27:25
Dime Store Freddy for real Dimitri goes to Eli's house and
27:32
explains the updates for the All Valley Tournament.
27:34
He showed nervousness about fighting his former classmate
27:37
Robbie King, hawked and revealed he cut up the remains of the
27:40
Mohawk, reverting back to Eli and tells him that his time as
27:44
Hawk made him ruthless to Miguel, Mean and Dmitri.
27:48
However, Dmitri tells him he already forgave him, but Eli
27:51
tells him he quit karate. Hi.
27:59
Eli's all like, I don't know, his feelings are hurt, he's all
28:03
hurt. He's all like his.
28:05
His confidence shot down again. He like.
28:09
He lost. And the self esteem.
28:11
Yeah, because I guess he thought the the Mohawk made him like,
28:18
but it didn't. He's all, I don't know.
28:25
Johnny and Miguel go to gymnastics studio to recruit
28:27
Piper to join their Dojo. Piper complained that she's
28:32
always wanted to join a Dojo. After receiving a flyer, she
28:34
accept their offer, but she goes to her teammates to check out
28:37
some gear, yelled and praises Johnny for recruiting her with a
28:42
calm approach. His calm approach was like yeah,
28:45
just stay awake, right. Because like no woke woke.
28:51
Stay woke. Go talk to her.
28:53
Like a woke was like, Oh yeah, of course I'm awake.
28:57
So he does that and like he talks to her down into it and
29:04
she's then asked like what about what did he ask E what about non
29:18
binary and gender fluid people? He said yes, fluids are crucial.
29:22
If you don't hydrate, it affects performing, you know, you have
29:29
to hydrate like gender fluid. I was like, yeah, sure, OK.
29:33
Yeah. You got to drink your water.
29:35
And Piper Bailey says they're like, what the fuck are you
29:38
talking about? And then Miguel's like, ha, ha,
29:40
ha. He's funny as me.
29:41
Yeah. You get more jokes out of him.
29:44
Like, just like that, that joke. It's OK.
29:46
They're like, oh, yeah, sure. I'll join your, your JoJo.
29:48
Not a problem. And then the Larusso house.
29:54
Sam is angry with her mom helping Tori.
29:56
However, Amanda tells Sam that her rivalry with Tori can't
30:00
dominate her life. Sam compares the experience of
30:03
Daniel and John and that she wanted to learn from Johnny.
30:07
Daniel agreed with Sam about why she's mad at Amanda for helping
30:10
Tori. Amanda then tells him a dark
30:13
high school story where she get arrested.
30:16
It's her back story, the one that we've been waiting for.
30:19
I was just going to say that we were just talking about this and
30:23
I'm like, finally a back story. Like why couldn't they do more?
30:28
And like how did I miss this the first time?
30:32
I wouldn't even pay attention I guess.
30:35
Yeah, no, I missed it too because I was like, wait a
30:37
minute. Yeah.
30:39
I guess to me she was she felt boring and stuff and I just like
30:43
would like pay attention to something else whenever she come
30:45
on. But then like, OK, I'm, I'm
30:49
talking about her in a podcast now, so I gotta like pay actual
30:52
attention. So here we are.
30:55
She says the reason she was arrested because she damaged her
30:57
math Tudor's car because she had an affair with her dad.
31:03
Amanda also reveals that her parents marriage fell apart and
31:06
divorced. Daniel's surprised that Amanda
31:09
never told him the story, but Amanda said it's hard to come to
31:12
the situation and she can relate to Tori.
31:14
So basically they both had secrets of their own.
31:18
Daniel and his Karate Kid trilogy.
31:23
Amanda and her beating up the girl that had an affair with
31:28
Amanda's dad. So basically, but we see that
31:32
Amanda can relate to Tori on a personal level too.
31:36
She's a hot head and like being a hot head, she slapped fucking
31:42
crease. Just like I get it now.
31:45
I get it like alright, she slapped crease because she's a
31:48
hot head and who knows? Good.
31:51
Reason. Good reason, and who knows what
31:53
she would have done at the at the committee.
31:57
Right when she stomped her heels out the door.
32:01
Yeah, like, Oh yeah. You OK?
32:03
Let me walk out here. This Karate Kid adult version it
32:09
is. So you know Daniel's all like
32:16
damn, I married a badass. You did Sir, you did good job.
32:23
Back at Eli's house, Dimitri didn't tell Eli that he was the
32:25
one that got him karate, which has helped him gain confidence,
32:29
strength, and also win Yasmine. Dimitri shows his excitement for
32:33
the tournament but he tells Eli it won't be as exciting if he
32:35
doesn't participate. Left with no choice to meet you
32:38
and shows Eli their old Binary Bros video and tells him that
32:42
regardless of his name in Mohawk, they are still Binary
32:45
brother inspired. Eli then returns to karate and
32:48
joins Niagi Go Robbie's at the receipt of convenience store
32:56
where his former sensei Daniel approaches him.
32:59
He shows his prescience as he already knows what Daniel is
33:02
going to say to him. Daniel has said that the stuff
33:05
before and tells him that now is time to change.
33:08
He heard about his incident with Eli and that Sensei Terry
33:11
Silver's teaching can put him down a bad path and corrupt him.
33:15
Terry approaches Daniel and tells him to respect Robbie's
33:18
decision. Daniel chastises him, saying
33:21
that Silber is not a sensei and how manipulative he is.
33:24
However, Silber tells him that he never turned him into
33:27
anything, and Daniel reminds him about how he tortured him.
33:32
They end their conversation with Terry saying that Daniel won't
33:34
admit there is still Cobra kiting him, and Daniel serves to
33:37
settle things in the tournament. And I hope they will.
33:43
I love that they go back to Karate Kid 3 and how Daniel's
33:46
all like you're he, you're Terry.
33:49
Silver's all like Danny was just a hot head man.
33:52
The only reason you join is because you wanted to get away
33:54
from Miyagi Shadow. Like you have a little Cobra Kai
33:58
in you because I taught you that if a man can't breathe, he can't
34:03
fight. If a man can't see, he can't
34:05
fight. If a man can't walk, he can't
34:06
fight. So all that teaching him being a
34:10
badass and all that is from that.
34:12
But then he doesn't want to do that.
34:14
He taught. He teaches his kids how to fight
34:16
fair and, like, instead of fighting like that.
34:24
Next scene is that the Eagle Fang warehouse.
34:29
They're waiting for Piper, but they find out that she joined
34:32
Cobra Kai, upsetting them. I'm like, what?
34:36
Well, it makes sense. Piper.
34:40
Piper and Moon. Yeah.
34:44
OK. Miguel tells them about how
34:47
their new gear got them new students and not that they
34:49
desperately need a girl. He didn't remind Johnny about
34:52
how he made Miguel a champion and start sinking outside the
34:54
box. It's more like the soccer team
35:00
is being brought to you by Khobar Kai, right?
35:12
You mean with like all the gear? Yeah, sponsored, sponsored by
35:17
Khobar Kai. Yeah, the the entire school is
35:20
being sponsored by Khobar Kai with Khobar Kai's here.
35:25
I was like, is this a different high school than the one
35:30
everybody else go to, 'cause I said they wanted like they
35:33
didn't want corporate guys left there.
35:36
Right, that's that was weird. Yeah, realizing how tough
35:44
experiences have been, Samantha visit her old friend Aisha
35:47
Robinson. Aisha, we missed her.
35:51
Her first appearance in the Season 2 finale, No Mercy, Aisha
35:55
explained that the reason why she moved to Santa Barbara was
35:57
not because of the high school broad, but her dad had a job
35:59
offer at CSB. Sam explained that Tori is
36:04
coming back to school and that she is not ready for it.
36:08
Aisha explains how she had a friendlier approach to her new
36:11
classmate. She tells her that she still
36:13
applied Johnny's teachings when she moved in and saying that Sam
36:16
is from front her problems. Damn right.
36:22
Next scene, remembering Bert's idea, Miguel and Johnny returned
36:25
to West Valley High School with Bert to go to a debate trial.
36:29
Johnny tells both of them he wants to sink outside a box.
36:31
Miguel and Bert look inside the double bag of Johnny Brat and
36:34
pulls out wigs wondering why. The reason?
36:41
Johnny asked them if they ever seen the movie Ladybug.
36:45
God. Oh yeah, he tells him the
36:49
premise of the movie by an all girls soccer coach who gets no
36:52
respect. The team sucks and then one day
36:55
he dresses up his stepson as a girl, starts winning and kick
36:59
ass. Miguel asked if Johnny wants him
37:02
to dress up as a girl. Johnny says no, he needs to win
37:05
the guys tournament. He's thinking Mitch, who will
37:07
probably stand a chance, have. You seen ladybugs?
37:12
Ladybug. Yeah, ladybugs.
37:14
Yes, Jonathan Brandon and Jonathan Brandis not done much
37:25
Lady and and Rodney Danger Ladybugs came out in 1992
37:29
starring the Rodney Dangerfield as the coach and his steps on.
37:32
Jonathan Brandis dresses up as a girl to play soccer.
37:36
William Zabka starred in Just One of the Guys, where a high
37:39
school girl pretends to be a boy.
37:42
In that movie, Zabka portrays a bully and there's even a comment
37:44
that the girl looked just like Roth, Macho from the karate.
37:49
Oh yes, I forgot about that. Another reference for Ladybugs,
37:53
which is about a coach who can't get any respect, is also a
37:56
reference to Back to School, which starred Rodney Dangerfield
37:59
and had a William Zapka supporting role.
38:05
So it just goes back to William Zapka putting in all his movie
38:10
stuff in there. Or you know, his friend movies.
38:15
Eagle. Iron Eagle.
38:23
Back to the show, do y'all watch a person named Devin?
38:26
During her debate, Devin shows that she is a very quick
38:29
tempered. When she rips another person's
38:32
book, Bird explains that Devin was the person he was referring
38:36
to and Johnny Impressed state that Eagle Fang now has a female
38:39
champion, Devin, played by Oona O'Brien, which is her first TV
38:47
show and 2nd role. Prior to Kobuki, she was in a
38:50
short movie in 2020 called Sky High as Mia Savage.
38:55
Sky High or Asta Zielo is a thrilling social commentary film
38:58
where a lowlife character named Angel tries to create his place
39:02
in society. Despite the odds.
39:04
He meets Estrella, who is Polly's girlfriend and gets
39:07
involved in crime crime wave. Eventually, he is arrested and
39:10
sent to prison. The movie also involved an
39:12
immigration officer investigating smuggling of
39:14
Chinese immigrants over the Mexican border.
39:16
The rich don't accept Angel and society constantly reminds him
39:19
of his position. I'm gonna go watch that.
39:25
Just check that. Miyagido puts up an imaginary
39:28
tournament match where Daniel has a major fight with him.
39:30
Daniel beats him and tells him to not expose his weakness where
39:33
he sees Eli come to you to Dojo. Eli tells Daniel that he can do
39:38
what he can to help Miyagido win.
39:40
He sees Sam train alone and tells her how proud she is that
39:44
it's hard to be the first person.
39:49
Next scene, Tori returns to West Valley High School where Sam
39:53
confronts her. Sam tells her that she is not
39:55
scared of her and threatens her if she Even so much as looks at
39:58
her funny she will kick her ass for 1/3 time.
40:03
Sam enter confrontation with Tori by telling her I'm coming
40:07
for you bitch. Which was the same thing.
40:10
Which was the same thing Tori said to her over the intercom
40:13
before starting the brawl. And the Season 2 Mally I love.
40:18
That I yeah, I loved that scene with Sam.
40:23
Sam walks away and right before the scene ends she has a smirk
40:27
on her face. She they go at it again.
40:31
Yes they do. They go at it many times.
40:34
This is her show, their show. I mean, the other little titled
40:38
Kicks Get Chicks refers to how Johnny needs to find a female
40:41
student for Ego Fang. It is also a subtle reference to
40:43
Season 1 when Johnny uses the line to entice a couple of guys
40:46
playing basketball or join Public eye.
40:48
Hey, kicks get chicks Sam. We still don't like Sam and then
40:56
like Tori. Uh oh, Sam and Tori.
41:01
Danny's been watching it. I love that.
41:06
Me too. Badass moment.
41:10
I mean, does a badass moment really have to be a fight scene?
41:15
We. We've said this before and now
41:17
it doesn't have to be a fight scene.
41:19
It has to be an encouraging moment of motivating moment, a
41:25
Sam confronting Tori and saying all that stuff.
41:29
Yeah. What do you think?
41:31
I, I, I would have to say probably Dimitri, Dimitri's
41:39
motivational talk to Eli. That's, you know, between that
41:48
and the last scene of Sam standing up for herself,
41:54
basically not backing down. I mean, because in all the
41:57
previous times we've seen how scared Sam is of Tori and how
42:02
she always, she's she, she hides, you know, and we've seen
42:07
that many times. And now she finally, you know,
42:12
this is a moment she finally stands up to her and says what
42:16
she needs to say. But you know, between that and
42:21
Dimitri's motivational speech to Eli, to what he said to him,
42:26
those are the two bad ass moments I feel.
42:31
What about you? It's a tie sham.
42:39
Telling Tori I'm coming. Pretty bitch.
42:41
Yep. And Devin ripping that book off
42:45
like damn girl. Oh yeah, that's true.
42:47
Get. That.
42:47
Get that, get that girl. Damn, I'm going in there.
42:52
Surprise badass moment. Yes, yes, I.
42:55
We get we get Devin just going in there and like we her
42:59
introduction and then like ripping a fucking book apart,
43:03
like. At a debate.
43:06
At a debate nonetheless. Yeah, sure.
43:09
Yeah, of. Course in the debate.
43:13
Final thoughts. I probably like this episode a
43:18
little bit better than the last episode, which is crazy 'cause
43:21
it was episode 5 and the only episode 5 is like, wow.
43:27
And it, it wasn't right. So I did.
43:30
I liked, I like this episode. I liked, I like that we got a
43:33
little back story with Amanda because we've been talking about
43:35
that. And finally.
43:36
We. Finally got that.
43:38
Yeah. So I like seeing, like, why
43:41
she's helping to. Like, why in the hell are you
43:43
helping Tori when when Tori is, you know, harassing and bullying
43:48
your daughter? But now I understand.
43:51
We understand why she has a soft spot for Tori.
43:56
So overall, I thought this episode was pretty good.
44:01
I I liked it. It was pretty good.
44:03
And yeah, I enjoyed it. This was a good one.
44:09
OK, yeah, directed by the same guy who did the last episode.
44:14
And funny how you say that the last episode you didn't really
44:17
like because it's but it's episode 5.
44:20
That episode got an 8.5, this episode got 7.8.
44:25
Right. So it's like, wait, but we like
44:28
this episode better but still. You like this episode better
44:34
than the last episode? I, I did.
44:36
I like the direction went well. The entire storyline went
44:40
smooth. We got to see Aisha.
44:43
Yeah, yeah, that too. Explaining and like the only
44:47
like 2 well three cameos this season Kenny's brother we get to
44:52
find out that Ken his brother was his face from last season
44:57
and it's only there for like 5 seconds.
45:02
Aisha, who should like a little cameo here and then that's it.
45:06
And then the return of Homeless Lynn.
45:09
But at the same time, we didn't get to see her roast anybody.
45:12
I was explaining that the only thing I didn't like was that,
45:15
you know, like, hey, how come we didn't get a little sound bite
45:19
from Homeless Lynn about here? She would have just went after
45:24
Aunt Candace. Auntie Candace.
45:26
She should have. She totally should have.
45:28
She should have. And the only thing that was
45:31
like, I didn't like that part, that's all.
45:33
But everything else was smooth. It just kept on flowing.
45:39
Written by Mattea Green, who was going to be here another
45:42
episode. Yeah.
45:43
She did the good, the bad and the badass so far.
45:51
Yeah, I like that. And the fact that I now know
45:56
what episodes she's done and what episodes she's going to be
45:59
doing. And I'm just like, oh, that's a
46:01
good OK, all right, I'm going to refer back to the old episodes,
46:06
like she did this and she did that and now she's doing this
46:08
episode. And if the episode sucks, do
46:12
better, love. That she did that?
46:15
Yeah. That you did that spreadsheet
46:17
with the statistics for the analytics.
46:20
I wasn't doing anything the whole weekend.
46:22
I'm just like, let me do this and it's like out even worse
46:25
that I was doing on pen and paper or just like let me see,
46:29
let me see, let me see and it was taking too long and it was
46:31
like spreadsheet, duh, Why, why are you not doing spreadsheet?
46:35
And here we are with spreadsheet then statistics.
46:40
Cheers to me analytics. We're we're we're becoming more
46:44
professional, right. Yeah.
46:46
Appreciate it. Awesome.
46:50
That's great. Why did we give in this episode?
46:54
Did you like it? Not.
46:56
Yes, yes, I did. OK.
46:59
I don't know. I don't know yet if it's in my
47:01
top five, but yeah. It's in mine, it's in mine.
47:08
Maybe it'll change at the end of the season, 'cause these
47:11
episodes are like Scar. It's like scarcely like, you
47:15
know, like maybe this episode should be, maybe this episode
47:18
shouldn't be. But then again, we're going to
47:20
watch it again this whole season and we're like, oh.
47:27
Yeah, true. We're going to watch them those
47:30
episodes again this season, like all right, so these are our real
47:34
top fives. So like maybe not all right.
47:40
I think that's that's about it, right?
47:44
Yeah, yeah. That was a short episode.
47:48
How long was the episode? I know last episode was what, 27
47:52
minutes I think you said was the shortest out of the season.
47:54
How long was this one? This seems short too.
47:57
This one was 33 minutes. Oh, OK.
47:59
Actually, do we count credits? You don't count credits, right?
48:04
You don't count credits. Then it's 30 minutes, 35
48:07

48:34
10 ones like the writer and director shows up at the very
