- 5:07fun facts towards the middle of the episode and let you know.
- 5:12So episode 4 titled Cobra Kai Never Died, written by Jason
- 5:18Bellevue who was also a producer on Ground Floor, if you remember
- 5:23that episode with that show with Skyler Austin.
- 5:28Yes, I did. Yes.
- 5:31Yeah, I remember that too. It was just like trying to
- 5:34figure out who else was in it. And it's like, I know it was
- 5:37just Skyler Austin and some other people too, but I just
- 5:39can't remember who who they were.
- 5:43It's like basically people from they're just like people from
- 5:47the OCI think when they were coming out when the OC like was
- 5:51gone. He, Jason Bellevue also produced
- 5:57a bunch of other shows, but I figured Ground Floor is the only
- 6:00one I remember. Directed by Jen Sellota is a who
- 6:04is a producer and writer known for The Office, Abbott
- 6:07Elementary and Andy Richter controls the universe.
- 6:10Damn, that was in 2002. That's a long time ago.
- 6:15It is. It was a long time ago.
- 6:17Fucking Anthony Richter control TI Remember it.
- 6:20And remember I know who Andy Richter is and I remember he had
- 6:24a show that's like so long ago. It was like almost 20 years.
- 6:30More than 20 years. Wow that.
- 6:32Could be 22 years if it's 2002. Oh yeah, that's right.
- 6:36So we're in 2024. Yes.
- 6:40Sebastous When Daniel's car dealership billboard is sprayed
- 6:44with new graffiti, it consumes Daniel and escalates tensions
- 6:47against a rival Robbie. Johnny's delinquent son is
- 6:51embarrassed after his father and his new Dojo.
- 6:54The bullying escalates against Miguel and motivates Johnny in a
- 6:57surprising way. Cold Open is on Robbie King,
- 7:02played by I Forgot His Name, Tanner Buchanan.
- 7:08Tanner. Yep.
- 7:09Working at an electronics repair shop where a customer purchase
- 7:12him with a laptop, Robbie obtains a man's the man's
- 7:15password and takes the laptop Outback, where he meets with his
- 7:19link with friends, having traded places with one of them who
- 7:23actually works at the store, and proceeds to sell the laptop to
- 7:27the high end bidder online. As they leave, Robbie picks up a
- 7:30discarded court bro Cobra Kai flyer and reacts to the Dana's
- 7:34father's image. The Cobra Kai logo appears on
- 7:38the screen. Tanner.
- 7:41But Tanner? Where had he been?
- 7:43Like, I want to call him Tyler. I don't know why.
- 7:46Not Tyler Tanner. I was like, I know, but his name
- 7:49just seems like he's a Tyler. He looks like a Tyler,
- 7:51basically. I don't like that name, so no.
- 7:56Tanner. No, no.
- 7:57Lucky Tanner. No, I don't like Tyler.
- 8:00Tanner is fine. Oh, OK.
- 8:02You don't like Tyler? I don't know.
- 8:03For some reason it looks like a Tyler.
- 8:05I just keep saying Tyler Stanford Shannon, who's also
- 8:09been on Girl Meets World. And Fuller House.
- 8:13Fuller House. I've never seen him on Fuller
- 8:15House. Yep.
- 8:16He was on Fuller House. I got to go watch that episode
- 8:19and he's also been in one movie ever since he's been on Cobra
- 8:25Kai. He's all that, a remake of She's
- 8:27All That, Which, yeah, I'm going to say it was pretty cool.
- 8:32I I watched it because of him, not because of who else was in
- 8:37this movie. That it's like a big saying on
- 8:41TikTok. Remember who that is.
- 8:46No, because I watched it only because of him.
- 8:52Right. And the first thing we're
- 8:54talking about is Addison. Ray.
- 8:57Oh, yes, Addison. Ray.
- 9:00Yes, I'm like, I didn't watch it because of her, but OK.
- 9:03But Tanner and it Rachel Lee Cook is in it who came from
- 9:09She's All That And also straight from Girl Meets World.
- 9:13Peyton Meyer is in it as well. And the best part about that
- 9:19movie is Matthew Lillard dancing at the end of the movie.
- 9:24I see. I spoiled it.
- 9:25But yeah, y'all should check it out.
- 9:28Pretty fun movie, pretty fun time.
- 9:36Next scene is at night. Johnny walks the streets in a
- 9:39drunken haze, showing flashbacks of him returning a badly beaten
- 9:42Miguel home after the Halloween dance.
- 9:46His distraught mother the man that he'd stay away from her
- 9:48son. He apologizes and says that he
- 9:52shouldn't have never gotten involved.
- 9:54Miguel's in the background on the couch yelling that Korbachi
- 9:57never died. Oh, night, actually.
- 10:03At the side of the Larusso billboard, Johnny encountered A
- 10:05manspring, painting graffiti on a wall and offering strated beer
- 10:09for the manspring. Can I love that Miguel's last
- 10:12words are Cobra Caliper dies as he dies on the couch.
- 10:17Right. I like that part too, yes.
- 10:21So it's not Johnny's fault, is it?
- 10:28No, it's not. It's not.
- 10:30It's not Johnny's fault. That's definitely not Johnny's
- 10:34fault. And I feel so bad because it
- 10:39just it, yeah, it's just really sad.
- 10:41It's really sad because the one person that like, you know,
- 10:44likes him, he can't even be around now.
- 10:47So it makes it sad. Right.
- 10:50Poor Johnny gets like it's not even his fault.
- 10:53And he's just like, oh man, I fucked up.
- 10:55I ruined somebody's life and I'm gonna go drink.
- 10:58My sorrow's away and oh, it's creeping.
- 11:03He looks at a Larusso billboard. What are you laughing at, huh?
- 11:06It's all your fault. If I hadn't seen your face, I
- 11:09wouldn't brought back Cobra Kai. And so he goes up to, grabs the
- 11:15graffiti and does. We don't know who does it.
- 11:19We don't know what he does with it until, like, we see it the
- 11:22next day. Daniel's seen preparing
- 11:24breakfast for his kids when he attempts to speak to Savantha
- 11:28about last night. He made some Bananarama pancakes
- 11:32and asked his other son, Anthony, played by Griffin Santo
- 11:35Pietro, to leave some for her sister.
- 11:38Anthony makes a pancake Taco with whipped cream and syrup
- 11:41dribbling down his hand, making a mess.
- 11:43That's disgusting, dude. Even Daniel's all like, bro,
- 11:47come on, what are you doing? You know like what?
- 11:55What? What are you?
- 11:56What are you? I'm telling you, Andy wasn't
- 11:58planned. Like, what are you doing?
- 12:04That's. Just mean.
- 12:07I know, but still, it's It feels like he wasn't planned at all,
- 12:11like Amanda. What, Because he doesn't make
- 12:14him special pancakes? Why are you playing favorites,
- 12:20Sam? It's like Sam's all like
- 12:24whenever Dad Sam will finally arrive, but she scurries away,
- 12:26obviously still angry with her Dad.
- 12:29Andy's all like, can I have her pancakes?
- 12:31Like 2? No stop man.
- 12:39It's so bad. As he drives to work, his wife
- 12:43calls him and asks if she's close by the dealership, and he
- 12:46says he's on the way, but basically point to stare his
- 12:49rival billboard and point out that it's big and he must be
- 12:53compensating for something. His wife tells him that's not
- 12:57why she called, and then you hear that he is livid to see
- 12:59that someone has to face his billboard by painting a giant
- 13:02penis in his mouth. He discusses the matter with his
- 13:05wife, who tries to downplay It's important, but he ultimately
- 13:08agreed to paint over it. She then tells him that nobody's
- 13:12going to notice it, but they hear Daniel's cousin Louis,
- 13:16played by Brett Ernst, say how hilarious it is.
- 13:21You see that thing outside? Brother.
- 13:23Cousin. Come on, cousin.
- 13:28How'd they get the the most obnoxious Jersey guy to come out
- 13:34from that Jersey to California? He.
- 13:37Is very Jersey. He's very Jersey.
- 13:40I just remembered that they lived in Jersey and that is not
- 13:43as well. Like, yeah, I'll send them out
- 13:47there. No problem.
- 13:49Why? Why would you do that?
- 13:51Mom was the thing on his face. OK, the next thing we see,
- 14:01Miguel's mom hand them more ice packs where everything tells and
- 14:04she will drive to school from now on.
- 14:06Miguel says that she will only make things worse.
- 14:08If he only had a few more lessons with Sensei Lawrence, he
- 14:12would be ready, but she disagrees and doesn't want him
- 14:14doing karate. I love how you say that.
- 14:19That day, because of his mom, I don't want you doing money that
- 14:22she karate. Yeah, there we go.
- 14:26No more karate. You do that well.
- 14:29Because my mom was the same way. Like, no, not karate, no.
- 14:33I'm like Ma. I'm trying to defend myself.
- 14:35No, I don't. I don't want that, man.
- 14:37He sell drugs. Mom.
- 14:41She does not sell drugs like my mom.
- 14:44Everybody that I fucking, every guy that I would bring to the
- 14:47house and hang out with them. Does he sell drugs?
- 14:50I don't know, mom. We we don't.
- 14:54We're we haven't spoken that way yet.
- 14:56Like hey bro, do you sell drugs? He does karate.
- 15:00No, karate. That karate is drugs.
- 15:03Oh my God. Mom was awesome.
- 15:08Like my grandma was like the one that I had to get worried about.
- 15:11Y'all heard that stories. Then my grandma would be like
- 15:16karate. I teach you fucking rock and
- 15:20throw it at the fucking person. Oh my God.
- 15:25Yeah, you got to listen to those episodes with my grandma stories
- 15:28because they are wild. My mom would be like, do they do
- 15:32drugs? My grandma would be like, throw
- 15:36a rock at the person. Doesn't matter if you do drugs
- 15:38or not. She sounds like a bad ass.
- 15:41She was a bad, bad ass for sure. I was told she was.
- 15:45My mom was scared of her. It's like he was Miguel's
- 15:51grandma appears and asks Carmen in Spanish what the problem is.
- 15:54The boy finally found himself something he likes.
- 15:57And then Carmen tells her mom to look what they did to him.
- 16:00Poor kid. He's broken now.
- 16:02And grandma says all he needs is proctors and puts his hands up.
- 16:05Come on, Mijo, let's go. Come on, Come on.
- 16:07You know, let's go. Let's go.
- 16:09Put those hands up, Senior. Oh, now he's not masturbating.
- 16:14Now you understand what he's doing right, Grandma?
- 16:21I love the grandma. I'm sorry, but I like her.
- 16:25Grandma's awesome, Carmen says. She doesn't want Miguel near
- 16:30that loser. Miguel defends Sensei Lawrence,
- 16:33saying that she don't know him and that he is a great man.
- 16:39What did what did before you go further, what did you think of
- 16:43that? Did you did you agree that he is
- 16:45a great man or what did you think?
- 16:48He is redeeming himself. He's a he's he's coming along
- 16:54and he's like, OK, slowly, hey, you're doing something, OK?
- 16:58Like you're not in depression mode anymore.
- 17:01You begin. Abandoned your kid, OK, You're
- 17:04redeeming yourself. I get it.
- 17:06You're trying to find something to look forward to.
- 17:09Same. But then, like, the kid gets
- 17:14hurt and he blames himself. Like, no dude bullies.
- 17:18That's all you gotta just give him some more practice.
- 17:21That's all he'll he'll learn. But she she says like he's a
- 17:33loser, like like she's like she's seen him before or
- 17:36something. And Miguel's all like, no, he's
- 17:39not a loser. Can't.
- 17:41No, he's all holding his ribs like, oh shit, he's not a loser
- 17:46mom. He's a great man.
- 17:49And then we do an optical flip to Johnny on the floor of the
- 17:52apartment with beer on the rock, on the phone ringing like, OK.
- 17:59Meanwhile, Johnny is doing loser sings.
- 18:04He picks up the phone to school, reminding him they spoke a
- 18:07couple months ago. So from episode one to now to
- 18:12episode 4, it has been a couple months.
- 18:15I was just going to say that I never realized that the first
- 18:18time I actually watched it, but this time watching it, I'm like,
- 18:21OK, so that's the time span. So the time span is that maybe
- 18:26they talked in August, August, September and we're now in
- 18:32October and they're doing the whole Halloween dance, so.
- 18:40Well, there are Christmas decorations up.
- 18:44There are Christmas decorations up in this episode?
- 18:49Yeah, it was. It was.
- 18:50I think it was episode four or five.
- 18:52It was in one of them. Pretty sure it was.
- 18:54It might have been five. But there's Christmas
- 18:56decorations up. We did catch.
- 18:58That before episodes before it's Halloween Day.
- 19:01That would make sense. Yeah.
- 19:02Halloween time, couple months, ish.
- 19:05Yeah. We skip over, say skipping, and
- 19:08we do a. Christmas thing.
- 19:11Already winter. OK, I sink.
- 19:17What they probably You did go to school in August, at the end of
- 19:21August. Like that's usually how they go
- 19:26couple months ago. Damn.
- 19:27It's been a couple months since they talked on the phone.
- 19:31Johnny gets up from the floor and the vice principal at
- 19:33Robbie's school apologized to him for interrupting the big
- 19:38canoe trip and reminding him that his notes said they would
- 19:41be gone for two weeks. But they've been gone for almost
- 19:43a month. Johnny is confused and I said
- 19:49Robbie has been out of school for a month now and if he's not
- 19:51back soon, they will have to discuss holding him back.
- 19:54Johnny says he will be there and hang up the phone.
- 19:59So Robbie is. Applies for school.
- 20:04Shows up at school, hangs out for a bit.
- 20:06OK, a month passes by. I'm on this big kind of trip.
- 20:11OK, cool. Dude hasn't been even there.
- 20:14Been there for like a month. It's like the school's just
- 20:18started and he's already sending, like, all right, we're
- 20:19going to hold him back. That's not how it works.
- 20:22People give it like, second quarter.
- 20:27I don't know what that even means.
- 20:31So that's like give him a till, like after around January.
- 20:35Then you can have talks about holding him back.
- 20:38But right now it's just like why he's talking about holding him
- 20:42back so quickly, like he just missed a month of school.
- 20:46Give the kid a break. That's a That's a long time,
- 20:49though. A month missing, a month of
- 20:50school, that's how. That's how I get to get caught
- 20:56up on, to catch up on. That's that's a month's worth of
- 20:59work. Not to what they're worth, yeah,
- 21:01that's true. But still, what grade is he in
- 21:03though? Do we know what grade they're
- 21:06in? I mean, if I had to guess, I'd
- 21:10say sophomore, but. Yeah, around there sophomore,
- 21:13'cause they're we're we're coming to Season 6 and they're
- 21:16still in school. OK, so it could even be
- 21:19freshmen. Right.
- 21:21So, freshmen. Yeah, sophomore freshmen.
- 21:24Of sophomore? Yeah.
- 21:29I'm gonna have to watch the entire show every episode,
- 21:32'cause we know what happens when they go back to school.
- 21:37Anyway, he walks out of his apartment and Miguel's waiting
- 21:40for him outside, trying to see if they can go back to the Dojo.
- 21:43But Johnny tells them there is no Dojo.
- 21:45He's closing it up. See, without you, kid, I can't
- 21:48do anything. Did you, man?
- 21:54Yeah, it is. Miguel asked What about him?
- 21:56And that he needs him. But Johnny brushes him off and
- 21:59tells him he has to go. Oh, Miguel needs somebody.
- 22:03Miguel thinks that Johnny has his as a father figure,
- 22:06basically. And Johnny's all like, Nah,
- 22:11dude, don't worry about it. We're good.
- 22:14Stay over there. Don't worry about it.
- 22:16I'm. I'm doing my set.
- 22:18I gotta go do my stuff. I gotta go find my kid.
- 22:21My real kid. Not you.
- 22:22It's like, all right, I gotta go.
- 22:24I gotta go do stuff. See these freaking pairs and
- 22:30their kids. Yeah, Sam has daddy issues.
- 22:38Oh. And Robbie has daddy issues.
- 22:45OK, well, I was going to bring up how petty they Oh, that's the
- 22:48next episode, but OK, we'll go with daddy issues for this
- 22:51episode, So we're going to daddy issues, OK?
- 22:53Dad issues. Yeah, Dad wasn't their issues,
- 22:57right? At school, Sam, played by Mary
- 23:00Mauser, walks down the halls of the school and watches as
- 23:04everyone's Pokémon at Aisha, played by Nicole Brown, and the
- 23:07video from the dance that went viral, which now the students
- 23:10are calling her a Cheeto pig. I suddenly don't like Cheetos
- 23:13anymore. No, I I still do, Sam tells
- 23:20Aisha. People have short memories and
- 23:21everyone will forget. But Aisha says that he's she's
- 23:24not going to forget and slammed her lock.
- 23:29I'll never forget this, Kyler speaks up behind.
- 23:33Him pretty unforgettable. Right.
- 23:37Yeah. And.
- 23:38That'd be. That'd be a hard thing to just
- 23:40forget. I'll never forget to eerie words
- 23:45too, like oh. Right.
- 23:47Taking you out like, oh shit. Tyler sneaks up behind Sam and
- 23:52tells her to go to the movie he got the movie tickets for later.
- 23:55She says she will talk to him later, but if they hug, the
- 23:57camera zooms in on her phone and it's her dad leaving her
- 24:00messages like, Sam, where are you?
- 24:04Sam. Sam.
- 24:05Sam. Answer me, Sam.
- 24:06OK. First time Daniel has ever had
- 24:10to feel not being talked. To he actually apologized to her
- 24:15and she ignored him, 'cause he said he was sorry, can we talk?
- 24:21Sorry, I embarrassed you at Dan I.
- 24:24Didn't. Well, no.
- 24:25But his text his text was. I'm sorry.
- 24:27Can we talk? I'm.
- 24:29Sorry, can we talk? At least he apologized.
- 24:32Yeah, he tried with Banana Rama pancakes.
- 24:38Well, I mean. Oh, also the banana.
- 24:41Rama can be forgiven with pancakes, right?
- 24:44Right. Bananarama to Pancake is a
- 24:47homage to Bananarama which did a song on Karate Kid Cruel Summer.
- 24:54Oh, oh, I didn't even think about that.
- 24:58So we get to Daniel at the dealership, where he is staring
- 25:01at his phone waiting for Sam to text him back to look.
- 25:04His secretary asked him if he would order lunch for everybody,
- 25:07specifically 100 sausages. Oh, boy.
- 25:10They find out it was the rival dealership, Tom Cole on Van
- 25:14Nuys, who ordered 100. Long and exhauster.
- 25:18Amanda says they got free lunch. Daniel calls up anew.
- 25:21She played by Dana. Dude, we're trying to paint over
- 25:24the Billboard. But Louie didn't start from the
- 25:25middle. Instead, he started on both
- 25:28ends. Oh, Louie, you're doing the
- 25:30jersey. You're doing it the jersey way.
- 25:33Got to start on you. Got to start on on both ends,
- 25:36man, to keep the line going. You know that's how we do it in
- 25:39Jersey, don't you know do it in Jersey, right.
- 25:48Daniel gets mad and wants that image on before the end of the
- 25:50day. They hang up the phone and then
- 25:52says he will do things to his way and realize that he stepped
- 25:55on dog poop. Louie asks how would a dog get
- 25:58up there? Anous realizes he just stepped
- 26:03on human poop and Lou is still continuing to like, were
- 26:07confused. Like, how would a dog get up
- 26:09here? I don't understand not thinking
- 26:13this human poop's like, no, it's still dog.
- 26:14What? Who brought a dog up here?
- 26:17Man, that's crazy. That's a big dog for that big
- 26:20poop. Oh my God.
- 26:24Like, damn. Louie.
- 26:26Louie. Come on, Louie.
- 26:30Oh my God. Every time Louie talks, I'm just
- 26:33gonna, like, blame it on Jersey. Sorry Jersey.
- 26:40Johnny travels to his ex-wife Shannon's house to convince
- 26:43Robbie to go back to school, but Robbie adamantly refuses.
- 26:47He said he tried knocking, but the boom box is too loud.
- 26:51Was a mask with a boom box. And then Johnny asked, what's
- 26:54that thing on his face? It's a mustache.
- 26:58What's a boom box? OK, Gen.
- 27:01Z for those that don't know what a boom box is.
- 27:04I was going to say, you know what a boom box is right of.
- 27:07Course I do. Hey, I had one.
- 27:10Say, say anything, you know put it up and like you to say
- 27:13anything and. I had AI had a purple one too.
- 27:18It's so cool. In Your Eyes, was that the song
- 27:24that was playing in Say Anything with the Boom Box?
- 27:27In your yeah, yeah, with yeah, him holding it up.
- 27:31Yeah, him holding it up. And that's the whole reason for
- 27:34the boombox. And like, everybody's all like
- 27:36what's a boombox? It's when people would take it
- 27:40to the beach and like if. You carry it on their shoulders.
- 27:46Carry it on their shoulders playing.
- 27:49Basically the equivalent of now listening to your music out loud
- 27:53in the car while driving. That was them back in the day.
- 27:57Just walking around the beach with a freaking big ass radio
- 28:00boombox and loud ass music mostly.
- 28:05Mostly breakdance music and and like they would just have it
- 28:12there and then like you see a couple people break dancing on
- 28:16cardboard boxes. Yeah.
- 28:21And those were the days. That was the whole reason for
- 28:24the boombox. Did you walk around with the
- 28:26boombox on your shoulders too? I saw someone do it, and I was
- 28:29just, like, cool. Why are you naked, Sir?
- 28:35Oh, in this heat? OK.
- 28:40Like. I've never seen anyone walk
- 28:43around naked with a boombox. Hey, it was like you would
- 28:48definitely see the same type of person holding it up.
- 28:51Red shorts, no shirt. And what are they?
- 28:56What are they called the The Escape, right?
- 29:03The skate. Yeah, they would have skate.
- 29:05They would have skate. They would wear skates.
- 29:07They would skate around the entire park.
- 29:10Oh yes, and don't forget what their and their shades on, yeah.
- 29:14Shades and po boy hat. Yep, Yep.
- 29:20Always that one person with red shorts though.
- 29:23Like you would see it movie or red pants and like oh shit,
- 29:29Ozone and Boogie, whatever. Anyway, I'm talking about a
- 29:35different movie here. Johnny telling off track.
- 29:40Yeah, getting off track. Johnny tells Robbie he got a
- 29:43call from his school and their trip to Colorado.
- 29:46Robbie says he doesn't know whether real father son trips
- 29:48look like so he had to use his imagination.
- 29:52Johnny asked where his mom and then says it has to be half the
- 29:55hours. Somewhere 5:00, somewhere Robbie
- 30:00gets up and tells Johnny not to talk about his mom.
- 30:03Don't talk about my mom. How dare you?
- 30:08Johnny tells him he has his whole future ahead of him.
- 30:10Robbie says that he can grow up and have his own strip mall
- 30:12karate school, right. Johnny tells him that his the
- 30:16school calls him. Robbie says he's not going back
- 30:19to school and his mom is OK with it and so he it's he so Johnny
- 30:23can go. Johnny leaves and Robbie slammed
- 30:25the door behind him. Don't ever come back, Dad.
- 30:32Yeah, Johnny trying to do the whole dad thing, but he doesn't
- 30:38like, Dude, calm down, win his trust 1st and then take him back
- 30:45to school. He'd be like, Nah, I'm good.
- 30:49I don't think that he's the type of person that has that that
- 30:53sense. Like he he he's he acts before
- 30:57he thinks. That's what Johnny does.
- 31:00That's what Johnny does. That's what he does.
- 31:02That's what he did back in Karate Kid.
- 31:05Yeah, acts. Before he sings, oh, let me talk
- 31:09to Allie like we're exes now. No, we're not.
- 31:15So's who. Oh, yeah, I forgot like, hey,
- 31:20kids, step playing soccer. Can you go away, please?
- 31:23Thank you. Oh, and didn't he destroy his
- 31:27boom box? Yes, he did.
- 31:30Yeah. There it is.
- 31:31We bring back the boom box. That's the boom box.
- 31:34And that. Yes.
- 31:37No, it wasn't his. It was hers.
- 31:39It was Ally's boom box. It was Ally's boom box.
- 31:42Johnny's all having, like, flashbacks up his of the boom
- 31:46box again. Like always.
- 31:47Just back to Ally, like, ah yeah.
- 31:50That's, that's Yep. I'm surprised they cut back to
- 31:53that scene. That's cool.
- 31:58Miguel was talking to his friends Dimitri, played by
- 32:00Gianni Desenzo, and Eli played by Jacob Bertrand.
- 32:03After finding out that Miguel is no longer doing karate karate,
- 32:08Dimitri looks at the bright side of it this and tells Miguel it
- 32:11was only boosting his confidence and what that had done for them.
- 32:15But a black eye and the backpack thrown in the trash.
- 32:20Eli thought it was cool that Miguel stood up to Kyler.
- 32:24The only fucking time Eli Hawk was like, that was cool.
- 32:27Yeah. Dmitri shoots it down, saying
- 32:31that being invincible is the best superpower anyone will ever
- 32:34have. Kyler.
- 32:37Oh God, yeah. Like, Nope.
- 32:40I mean, close second is super speed, so you can just run away.
- 32:47Kyler and Brooks overhear this, and they start to bully them,
- 32:49making fun of Eli's figureman by calling him a freak.
- 32:52Miguel and Eli run off, but they grabbed Dimitri's school bag and
- 32:55throw it in the trash. Which Dimitri just threw a
- 33:02yogurt in there. Like, yeah.
- 33:04That was gross. Dimitri gets it out and leave as
- 33:08Kyler and Brooke hang back. The camera pans over to Sam, who
- 33:11was behind some books and over the Kyler situation I love.
- 33:17She's just standing back there, like letting them, letting her
- 33:20boyfriend bully these kids. And she knows karate, but she
- 33:23doesn't want to fuck. She's she's not ready to bring
- 33:26it back yet. But wait, can I just talk about
- 33:29that yogurt? Because is it just me or like,
- 33:32how did the yogurt, a thing of yogurt, get all over his
- 33:36backpack when he pulls it out like it is covered in yogurt?
- 33:40How does a little yogurt in a thing do that?
- 33:42That's what I want to know. So here's what I was thinking.
- 33:45So he grabbed a yogurt. He's tasted it like, OK, that's
- 33:48disgusting. I don't want it, so I'm gonna go
- 33:50throw in the trash. But when he throws in the trash,
- 33:52he spirals it and throws it like it's liquid.
- 33:56And like every part of the bag, the trash bag has yogurt on it,
- 34:01and then he throws it in the middle in there and that's it.
- 34:04Boom. So when the backpack goes in all
- 34:07around, the backpack has yogurt on it.
- 34:12I'm glad you're. I'm glad that you explained that
- 34:14to me. Thank you.
- 34:15Because I saw the same thing, and I'm just like, what?
- 34:19How did the entire bag around the bag, even the bottom of the
- 34:23a little bit on the bottom of the bag, but around the entire
- 34:26bag has yogurt. Unless there are a bunch of,
- 34:30unless he, like, ate a bunch of yogurt and threw it in there and
- 34:34then more people threw more yogurt in there.
- 34:36But no, it was just like, this dude must have like, OK, I'm
- 34:39gonna throw it like a spiral thing.
- 34:41Yeah. OK, cool.
- 34:43Like what, dude? Oh, that was the only thought
- 34:49figure. That that makes perfect sense
- 34:52makes. Perfect sense.
- 34:53The only time I thought it was like, how did that happen?
- 34:56I'm glad we came up with the same, like, idea of it.
- 35:00Like, how does this yogurt just get around the entire backpack?
- 35:03And I just came up with that theory like it?
- 35:05He must have just 'cause, he said.
- 35:07He threw yogurt in there. Yeah, he said.
- 35:10I just threw my yogurt in there, so yeah.
- 35:13Like, unless he just threw it and then like you know, cup up
- 35:17where it just splashes all over. OK, but didn't splash all over.
- 35:22But it splashed all over inside, neatly inside that garbage can,
- 35:26but nowhere else. Neatly, exactly.
- 35:29Neatly. Inside making a mess Make a
- 35:33mess, but neatly. That's a neat mess of yogurt
- 35:37right there. That's funny that we both
- 35:39thought of that or had that same reaction, right.
- 35:43Right. Yeah, yeah.
- 35:46Later, Daniel and his wife Amanda meet with some marketing
- 35:49executive who showed them the latest television ad from Tom
- 35:51Cole, played by David Shatraw, A rival auto dealer whose ad is a
- 35:56blatant mockery of Daniel's own. Like, oh, cool, like his own
- 36:05rifle. Yeah.
- 36:06There's no notes on this one for me.
- 36:08I was just like, oh, OK, that's great.
- 36:12You know, auto dealer, war room stuff, basically.
- 36:17It's like, you say some stupid stuff.
- 36:19I'll do the same thing. Like, oh, you you made a you
- 36:23made a an ad about the trees and bonsai trees and stuff.
- 36:29I'll make an ad and I'll be petty and I'll just do this.
- 36:33How unamerican of you. You know, that's perfectly no
- 36:39saying, right? Might as well just say it.
- 36:42But it's all about the boba. The boba tea.
- 36:45Don't forget that. Saw that it's so annoying.
- 36:48You're like. Why so annoying?
- 36:52Boba tea. The boba tea, 'cause you know
- 36:55what happened? Like, OK, I was just gonna say,
- 36:58'cause my that's like my favorite scene that's coming up
- 37:00that you're talking about here. So I can't try.
- 37:06That awesome Johnny then tracks down Shannon played by Dora
- 37:08Baird at a local bar. But she they're showing me
- 37:10bitter and reject his appeal to help their son at this point in
- 37:13their life, telling him it is too late and that there are no
- 37:17do overs. You gave up on day one.
- 37:22Johnny Wean learned that Johnny gave up on day one like, but the
- 37:26fact that she brings up, he had motto.
- 37:28Fucking Robbie had motto. I'm like, what does that have to
- 37:31do with anything? Like, I get the whole like, hey,
- 37:36he built his own halfpipe and fucking crashed and burned and
- 37:41broke his wrist. But the Mono thing really Was
- 37:44that really necessary? Well, I mean, mono was serious.
- 37:48It's a serious sickness. Maybe that's why.
- 37:52Robbie's a hoe. He likes kissing girls.
- 37:57That's. That's what comes to your mind,
- 38:00OK? Basically, pretty much.
- 38:10But we get to know about Johnny and why he like the reason I
- 38:14like damn. And so it's sad enough that
- 38:18Johnny's a loser and he's trying to redeem himself.
- 38:21But the fact that Shannon's a loser also and like, OK, I'm
- 38:25just. I know I feel bad for Robbie,
- 38:28like. Mess around with this guy.
- 38:30I feel bad for Robbie. Like he didn't have parents.
- 38:34Yeah, he didn't have parents. He didn't have good role models
- 38:37in his life. He didn't have any parents like
- 38:39he. Didn't have Daniel or Morita or
- 38:42Mr. Miyagi. I know he needs a He needs a Mr.
- 38:47Miyagi. He needs.
- 38:49A Mr. Miyagi. That's what I was thinking when
- 38:51I when I was watching it. Shannon says no do overs.
- 38:55All right, cool. Suspecting that Cole is
- 38:57responsible for the vandalism, Daniel could fronts him at the
- 39:00dealership. And there were war of words
- 39:02culminated with Daniel Spin kicking a drink out of Cole's
- 39:07hand. Here comes the Boba tea.
- 39:12That's the scene that I like. When he does that, I was like,
- 39:15Oh my gosh, it's gonna start here.
- 39:17It goes like. He just calls him as a karate
- 39:25gimmick and like Daniel's all like, well, I was a national
- 39:30champion and all that, and here comes Cole.
- 39:35Watch out guys. We have a karate guy, we all
- 39:40that, he says. I'm just joshing at you.
- 39:43And it triggered me that I hated that word.
- 39:48Joshing. Yes.
- 39:49Like, where did it come from? I knew a few people that said
- 39:52the word joshing back in the 90s, Like, I'm just joshing in
- 39:57queue. And at the time I was like, who
- 39:58the fuck is Josh? Like, what are you talking
- 40:02about? What is this?
- 40:04And then just they like, told me like, yeah, it's just, you know,
- 40:10we're just kidding. But you can't say kidding.
- 40:14No, just Josh. Oh, it's a freaking it's a
- 40:18California thing, I guess. I don't know.
- 40:20Like I I haven't heard anybody from other states use it.
- 40:24I've only been around the Northern California stuff and
- 40:28they've said it quite frequently and I'm just like, oh God.
- 40:31And ever since that day, it's like I've heard it so many other
- 40:34times. And then we get to 2018 or
- 40:37whatever it is they aired it on and the word Josh and comes back
- 40:42and I'm like, are you serious? Yeah, it's a it's a California
- 40:44saying. Nobody has ever said it or
- 40:46nobody has said it that I know of.
- 40:52I've never been N yeah. No, no, it's it's definitely not
- 40:57a a West or not east. Coast thing East Coast or
- 41:01Midwest? It's not a Midwest thing.
- 41:03It's not a Midwest thing. I've never heard anybody say it.
- 41:07I'm gonna start saying over here and see how everybody reacts to
- 41:11it. It's like I'm just joshing with
- 41:12you like. So no, don't.
- 41:14Don't bring it back. No.
- 41:16Don't bring it back, OK? That's fine.
- 41:19I'm gonna start telling people I'm just joshing with you lies.
- 41:22See what happens. Everybody be like no, what?
- 41:27What did you say, Sir? It's the same thing when I said
- 41:31hella when I moved from here to California and everybody's all
- 41:35like, what does hella mean? Like, just hella, you know.
- 41:38Hell of a lot of money you got there.
- 41:41It was hella hot, you know. And then I see.
- 41:44I've heard that, I've said that, I've heard that, but I've never
- 41:47heard Josh of. When I went back to California,
- 41:51like I said the word pop and I got freaking laughed at.
- 41:54I'm like, what is pop? I'm like.
- 41:56What? Pepsi, I say.
- 42:00Pop. Dude, I was going to say so.
- 42:02Some people say soda and some people say pop.
- 42:07My my brother was like, what the hell is pop, dude, I'm like,
- 42:11Pepsi, just say Pepsi. I was like, pop.
- 42:15Can I pop? No, like Pepsi.
- 42:17It's like, fine, I'll say it next scene at the movies.
- 42:23Oh, here we go. Sam is with Kyler.
- 42:26Sam is with Kyler watching some type of movie where the girl
- 42:29wants to give the man her lung, but he says she already gave him
- 42:34her heart. I like what this is the movie
- 42:42she chose for Kyler, and Kyler's just sitting there.
- 42:45Like, yeah, dude, I know, OK, Kyler wants to be a little
- 42:50handsy, but Sam questions Kyler about his conduct during the
- 42:54movie. It's like, OK, stop, Just watch
- 42:57the movie about this guy that was that long.
- 43:02What? He asked what's wrong, and she
- 43:06said she saw what he did to those kids in the library, to
- 43:08which he tells her they were his friends and they were just
- 43:11messing around. He tries to grope her, but she
- 43:15tells him to stop. He dismisses her concerns before
- 43:18attempting to grow up her again. Sammy defends him off and storms
- 43:21out of the theater, ending their relationship.
- 43:23OK, but why did she go On this date after like, oh, I saw what
- 43:28you did to those kids. Like why not just cancel the
- 43:30date and don't like? That's a good question.
- 43:34Like what? Like why didn't you defend them?
- 43:38Sam, if you knew how to do this, like, hey, why don't you go up
- 43:42to the Kyler and be like, hey, grab his hands.
- 43:44Stop messing with them like, why now?
- 43:51I don't know. I don't understand that their
- 43:54reasoning with that one. Why now, Sam?
- 43:58Huh. She all she needs is some
- 44:00Bananarama pancakes, that's all. She'll be fine.
- 44:03This whole day she's just been like.
- 44:05She's probably thinking about those pancakes.
- 44:09Yeah, this whole day. Like the whole thing with her
- 44:12dad, the whole thing with Aisha. And now the whole thing with
- 44:14Kyler. That's.
- 44:16Not a bad day. Yeah, she's not a bad day.
- 44:20Oh, she need it with banana ram pancakes.
- 44:23And, you know, hopefully it's not a cruel summer.
- 44:29Well, since you're speaking about food, I'm going to throw
- 44:32in that I tried. I tried.
- 44:34We talked about last time or last week about the fried
- 44:37Bologna and I tried it on a tortilla, by the way, I was
- 44:39going to tell you that. Fred Maloney to the tortilla.
- 44:42How'd it go? I actually chose corn tortillas
- 44:46because I like those better. So did you have it on flour or
- 44:48corn? Both.
- 44:51But corn is the is what we need definitely.
- 44:55Like corn has that, you know, oh shoot, it fits on the corn on
- 45:00the like on the flour, like, oh, I I got to make two of them and
- 45:04put them like, you know. Yeah, but I like the taste of
- 45:09corn tortillas a lot better than flour tortillas.
- 45:11So I'm like, I'm going with corn.
- 45:12And I tried. I did try a part of it with with
- 45:16ketchup also. How'd it go?
- 45:19Did you? You.
- 45:20You were supposed to try that. You didn't do that, did you?
- 45:23No, like I tried it with cheese. I had see.
- 45:27I did not try it with cheese. You were supposed to do ketchup.
- 45:30I'll do ketchup next time. Yeah, you have to do that.
- 45:32And we'll report next week of what you think about it.
- 45:35I'll let you know what I think about it next week.
- 45:37OK, then I'll I'll wait and tell you what I thought about it next
- 45:40week. Hey, it's the same as eating
- 45:46Pickles and peanut butter sandwich.
- 45:48Which I have not tried yet. Seeking the forgiveness he could
- 45:55not obtain from his son's ex-wife, Johnny returns to
- 45:57Miguel's home and pleads with his mother to let Miguel train
- 46:01with him again. He tells her he knows he messed
- 46:04up, but if she lets him come back, he won't fail him again.
- 46:11Johnny leave the car. We'll see.
- 46:17Like, not we'll see. Johnny leave and Carmen turns
- 46:21around her and mom tells her in Spanish that she likes him.
- 46:24All this like Johnny went to the mom and like, look, I promise I
- 46:29won't fail him again. All that because he saw a father
- 46:32and his son, just like having a fucking shake together.
- 46:35Like, oh man, I wish I could do that with my son.
- 46:39Oh, that's so awesome. Oh, let me go to Miguel.
- 46:45I want to have. I want to have a shake with you,
- 46:47bro. Not with Robbie, but Miguel.
- 46:56No. He feels he's failed with
- 46:58Robbie, so he's trying to, he's trying to start over with
- 47:02Miguel. Let's start over with his.
- 47:05Kid compensate. I don't know.
- 47:06Compensate. Compensate his daddy tendencies.
- 47:13Oh, that doesn't sound right. I don't know.
- 47:15Father tendencies. There we go.
- 47:17Yeah. There.
- 47:18You go the next day at the Larousse was both Danny and
- 47:22Amanda are waiting for their kids to come down for breakfast,
- 47:24and he asked for a burrito, to which Daniel says this isn't a
- 47:27restaurant. I don't know who the fuck raised
- 47:31you. No, you're not going to have a
- 47:34burrito kid. Fuck, man.
- 47:38Who raised you? Whose kid are you?
- 47:40Just eat your muffin. You see your muffin?
- 47:43Some comes. Sam comes down and asks for a
- 47:45banana ram and pancakes, to which Daniel says he can make a
- 47:47new batch. Anything for you, Sam Disney
- 47:54says he thought this was in the restaurant.
- 47:55Daniel shuts him up. Shut up, kid.
- 48:00You don't know shit. Shut the fuck up.
- 48:02You're not my kid. Amanda had an affair, I swear.
- 48:11What the hell? This is the reason it's like I'm
- 48:14your stepdad. Fuck you, What the hell, Daniel?
- 48:24Sam tells her parents. Her and Kyler broke up.
- 48:26Daniel has a very smirky, sad face broke up that Luther Kyler
- 48:32OK at the Dojo, Johnny is cleaning out his office, but
- 48:38Miguel reappears, having finally received his mother's blessing.
- 48:41Surmising that Miguel was defeated because he lacked
- 48:44defense, Johnny vows to teach him that the best defense is
- 48:48more offense. Back at the Larusso Auto Group,
- 48:51Anoush and Louis and Daniel Cobra Kai Flyer, which they
- 48:55found on the Billboard, which makes Daniel realize that Johnny
- 48:58was responsible for the vandalism.
- 49:00Louie's fired up, but he just tells him to relax.
- 49:02But Louie gets more fired up, he says.
- 49:07Nah bro cousin Johnny disrespected the family name.
- 49:12This is personal. It's personal.
- 49:15What are we going to do about it?
- 49:16This is personal, Johnny. This is.
- 49:18I mean, this is personal, Danny. Johnny disrespected the family
- 49:22name. You don't do that shit, dude.
- 49:25Johnny disrespected the family name a long time ago.
- 49:27OK, OK, Daniel. Johnny disrespected the family
- 49:33name and the fact that Daniel had to fight back.
- 49:36Where were you, Louis, when John, when Daniel was getting
- 49:39his ass kicked, Huh? Where were you out in?
- 49:43Jersey. He was out in Jersey, yeah.
- 49:45Back in Jersey like you don't. Get to talk about you.
- 49:49Don't get to decide this one, John Louis.
- 49:52Sit down. Oh, oh shit.
- 49:58Maybe he's Louie's father. Just a family name.
- 50:05Seems like Dad. I want pancakes.
- 50:09Fuck you. Oh, I you know, that would make
- 50:13sense, though. Oh my God, no.
- 50:16I mean, I could see him being his dad.
- 50:18Like they have the same weirdness with each other, like,
- 50:22or. Yeah, yeah, that's it.
- 50:24We're just going to say that that's his dad and they they
- 50:29they adopted him from because you know, Louie can't even take
- 50:32care of himself. So that's what happened, Louie.
- 50:36Can't take him himself. It's like a jersey.
- 50:41Take him in. Well, we'll just take him in for
- 50:43him, yeah. That's what happened.
- 50:45Acne has that Jersey fire in him.
- 50:48Give me a burrito breakfast. Like what?
- 50:55Breakfast burrito. Breakfast burrito.
- 50:59And the episode ends right there.
- 51:00Like Louie wants to shake out personal.
- 51:04Louie wants fucking revenge Johnny or Daniel's all like I
- 51:09got your revenge. Good.
- 51:11Let me be petty. Louie's all like, Nah, let's
- 51:14speak to that. Yes, the petty the pettiness
- 51:17begins. Actually all.
- 51:21Right. What did you think of this
- 51:24episode? To be perfectly honest, I got a
- 51:30little, I'm not gonna say, I'm not gonna say bored or
- 51:35disappointed, but I felt like this episode was kind of like a,
- 51:41I don't know, like a filler episode, if that makes sense.
- 51:45Like it's just it there wasn't a whole, I don't know, It's hard
- 51:50to explain. It just wasn't one of the
- 51:51episodes. I feel like most of the episodes
- 51:54always had me intrigued and like, I wanted to see the next
- 51:57episode. And this one, the way it ended,
- 52:00it didn't even like it didn't get me to want to keep going to,
- 52:05like, watch the next episode. Does that make sense?
- 52:08It was just a filler episode. It just wasn't very exciting to.
- 52:14Me. I would say that I.
- 52:16Mean. There are parts that obviously
- 52:18were important because it's building up, I guess, but just
- 52:24the episode in general, it just wasn't very exciting to me.
- 52:31OK, the beginning of the vet is is about like, why did that need
- 52:37to happen? Why did you need to get drunk in
- 52:38the 1st place? Like there was no need to get
- 52:41drunk and feel like I'm gonna tear this whole thing apart
- 52:48'cause my life sucks already, might as well just tear it all
- 52:52apart. Oh, graffiti.
- 52:58But I understand that the whole thing he had to, like, get drunk
- 53:01in order to look at Larousse's faith and like, why are you
- 53:03smiling about? And then put the Dick in the
- 53:09face in there. But do you know it's like drunk
- 53:13unless he put all the Flyers in his pocket?
- 53:16And they fell. Yeah, and one of them
- 53:21conveniently fell on on the bill on top of that freaking
- 53:26billboard. Which should I?
- 53:29It was shit. On it.
- 53:31Shit. On just one foul and had shit on
- 53:33it. Just like the whole yogurt
- 53:34backpack thing. Yeah.
- 53:35See, I didn't like this. This episode was just weird.
- 53:37It. Wasn't.
- 53:40Oh, I know what your favorite scene was.
- 53:42The whole. You know, you know what my
- 53:44favorite scene was, But what is it?
- 53:46But. Then you just say your favorite
- 53:47scene that was. It I I didn't, but let's see if
- 53:50you know what it is. No, go ahead, say.
- 53:52It no, no, no, no. I want.
- 53:54I want to know if you know the. Spin kick to the Boba.
- 53:58OK, well, you got it. That was the only that was.
- 54:02Well, no, I didn't say it was my oh, did I?
- 54:04I did say my favorite scene was coming up.
- 54:06And then you went back. So you remembered.
- 54:08OK, you're right. That was the only exciting part
- 54:12of this episode. It was the only exciting party.
- 54:16It was the only exciting part. Seriously.
- 54:18It was when, when when Daniel just we kicked.
- 54:21Yeah. I was like, yes, finally some
- 54:23excitement. And then it ends.
- 54:24I'm like OK. Daniel One Bubba T0 Pretty much
- 54:35my favorite scene is the Banana Rama scene.
- 54:38The pancakes, of course, because you've talked about those
- 54:42pancakes this whole time, so I kind of figured.
- 54:45I'm going to go make some banana Rama pancakes in the pretty
- 54:49soon. See how that goes like?
- 54:52I I have. Everyone loves mine.
- 54:55My my banana pancakes I make. I mean, I got to try Daniel's.
- 55:01I heard they they have a kick to it.
- 55:04Yeah, I'll have to. I'll have to figure out what
- 55:05else is in them then, because all I know is bananas.
- 55:12You just said they have a kick to them.
- 55:14Was that supposed to be like a? I just got that.
- 55:18Thank you. I'm like waiting for you to say
- 55:20something like, oh, OK. Yeah, I got it.

- 55:28sound board pretty soon to just laugh at my own jokes.
- 55:32Hi everyone, I'm Lisa. And I'm Dawn.

- 56:10episode you're listening to, But first let me tell you about Dark
- 56:13Freak Creations. Dark Freak creations are candles
- 56:17that are vibrant, colorful marble tops, amazing mouth
- 56:21watering fragrances fueled by lovely braided cotton wigs.
- 56:26Paper threads woven into every cotton wig for a clean,
- 56:29romantic, slow and consistent burn.
- 56:33Each candle is unique from the next as they are hand mixed and
- 56:36hand poured right in Grass Valley, CA.
- 56:40They use only coconut and soy waxes for a safer, cleaner and
- 56:44longer burn time. That's almost 72 hours.
- 56:48That's like binging on all 130 episodes of the podcast.
- 56:52All fragrance blends have been heavily researched.
- 56:55Dark recreations not only care about the look, fragrance, and
- 56:57quality of their candles and their other products, but also
- 57:01the effects they have in their customers homes.
- 57:03So go to darkrecreations.com, the link will be in the show
- 57:08notes. OK, Episode 5 is called
- 57:17Counterbalance, written directly by the creators of the show.
- 57:21Synopsis is Daniel tries to strike a shady deal to undermine
- 57:26Johnny's Dojo and struggles to find the balance in this life
- 57:29against by visiting and spread. Meanwhile, Johnny expanded his
- 57:33enrollment ring in the Dojo. Miguel pushes karate practicing
- 57:37the reality estimate of those rejection in school.
- 57:41The word counterbalance is means that it's a weight that bounds
- 57:44another weight. The code opens.
- 57:49The episode called opens with Miguel waking up early in the
- 57:52morning, puts on his headphones and starts doing knuckle push
- 57:55ups, which he was told to start doing on the last episode.
- 57:59The song he is listening to is called Slither by Leo Perberg
- 58:04and Zach Robinson. Miguel and Johnny start a
- 58:07rigorous training on top in which Miguel practices blocking
- 58:10baseballs fired at pitching machine getting choked by
- 58:14Johnny, who asked what do Cobra do?
- 58:16But Miguel just taps out instead.
- 58:19Miguel running at the start of the day and doing knuckle push
- 58:21ups again as it ends. It ends with Michael.
- 58:26Miguel, What the hell am I calling you, Michael?
- 58:28It ends with Miguel getting out of the chokehold and saying a
- 58:31cobra slither afterwards, a yoga class after the Dojo leading
- 58:36John to get the slip, but the property had not keep up with
- 58:40expenses. The yoga teacher says they need
- 58:42to change the energy in the room and they cover the Cobra Kai
- 58:46phrase poster that said love is here to namaste the yoga class.
- 58:54The yoga class 1st move is the Cobra pose and the Cobra Kai
- 58:57logo appeared on the mirror. I love how they start with the
- 59:03Cobra pose. Let's, namaste, let's, you know,
- 59:15put this poster over the side message, and our first pose is a
- 59:21Cobra. Johnny just stares at them.
- 59:27It's like, OK, never at the Oaks Country Club.
- 59:34Daniel has dinner with Armands Arcarian, played by Ken
- 59:38Division, who owns a strip mall in the seat of where the
- 59:41Copacaid Dojo located. Joey inquired about buying the
- 59:45property from guard carrion. Is your intention is to entice
- 59:48him with lobster and possibly come back to the Country Club as
- 59:52long as he raced the Rat with Dojo, effectively putting Johnny
- 59:56out of business as a reprisal to a Billboard rank?
- 1:00:01And the pettiness starts the end of the episode, The episode.
- 1:00:05This episode is full of petty. I'm just going to say that.
- 1:00:10A counterbalance like, oh oh, you want to put a weight on it
- 1:00:16here, I'll put more weight on this side though.
- 1:00:18It one petty, another person goes, does another petty thing.
- 1:00:25It's mostly from Daniel, who does the petty stuff.
- 1:00:28Oh, no, no, there's there's there's more petty in there, not
- 1:00:32just from Daniel. Also the club Sam tells her
- 1:00:37mother that she had planned to go to a concert with Yasmin and
- 1:00:39Moon, both played by the Lisa Cochran and Anna Keppel
- 1:00:43respectively. They have not been returning her
- 1:00:45text. She then showed her mother a
- 1:00:47video of two girls gloating at the concert.
- 1:00:51Such a green screen moment in the background there.
- 1:00:54See, Petty, are you gonna point out I'm gonna point out all the
- 1:01:00putty they went to the concert without Sam?
- 1:01:03I'm gonna point out all the pettiness in those, so.
- 1:01:08I'm gonna say they weren't even at the concert.
- 1:01:10They had like a little green screen in the background and
- 1:01:14they're just like moving around and they pretended to be at the
- 1:01:20concert. Wait, is this is it your?
- 1:01:23Does? Is this your theory or is this
- 1:01:25your theory? This is your theory.
- 1:01:27I just say it didn't really happen.
- 1:01:28OK, I got. You it really?
- 1:01:29Happened isn't just your theory. OK, let's let Let's dress up and
- 1:01:36and. Pretend we're at the concert.
- 1:01:39Have a green screen behind us, pretend we're at a concert, and
- 1:01:42send it to Sam. OK?
- 1:01:45Wouldn't you be fucking pissed? Off That's still petty.
- 1:01:49That's still petty, but. Whether they were at the concert
- 1:01:51or not, they're that's that's petty, yeah.
- 1:01:55Like, Nah, that was the whole plan the entire time.
- 1:01:58Like, let's go to the concert. They didn't really have tickets
- 1:01:59to go to the concert. She was just like, whatever, all
- 1:02:03right? We just won't invite her.
- 1:02:07Like, if I'm going to say that, what's her name?
- 1:02:10Yasmin is the queen of petty right here.
- 1:02:13Yes, like she's been Kalon conning Sam the entire time.
- 1:02:18Like, we're going to go to this concert.
- 1:02:20We're all going to go to this concert, and then tourists like
- 1:02:22the final week. Like a Let's just go.
- 1:02:27Let's just do this and pretend that we're there and send it to
- 1:02:31Sam. Have her feel bad or not, you
- 1:02:37know, whatever. It's just my theory.
- 1:02:40I'm just trying to I I don't know if, I don't know if I
- 1:02:44agree, Paul, OK, I'll just agree with your theory.
- 1:02:48She then shows her mother a video to two girls floating at
- 1:02:50the concert, to which her mother replied she is better off
- 1:02:53without them. Yes, Amanda then looks over at
- 1:02:56the table where Anthony's setting.
- 1:02:57Who's drinking the butter? That's disgusting.
- 1:03:00Yes, it is. Who does that?
- 1:03:04Who's Anthony? Who does that?
- 1:03:07Anthony Louis's son, not Daniel Larusso's son, and others are
- 1:03:14like not doing that. Sam never did any of that stuff.
- 1:03:18That's something Louis would do. Drink the butter or something.
- 1:03:22Fucking. Jersey would do, yes.
- 1:03:25Oh, we're just calling him Jersey now, OK?
- 1:03:27Louis from New Jersey would definitely do that.
- 1:03:30Yes, do what? Roman Sergarian's son, played by
- 1:03:35Alex Hough, tells Anthony that his dad owns buildings.
- 1:03:40And here's another petty stuff not to be upstage, Anthony fires
- 1:03:43back when his dad owns cars. Roman responds back when his dad
- 1:03:46makes more money. Well, Anthony hits the kill shot
- 1:03:49and says his dad knows karate and could probably kill Roman's
- 1:03:52dad. See.
- 1:03:54Petty. Petty.
- 1:03:58His arcarious says if he's if he wants him to scratch his balls,
- 1:04:01how's Daniel going to scratch his Arcarian's balls?
- 1:04:04Confused. Daniel says he might get him
- 1:04:06reinstated at the club. That's not how you say the
- 1:04:08thing. But he might get him reinstated
- 1:04:10at the club if he gets first crack at any properties in
- 1:04:14Reseda. Especially at the strip club
- 1:04:15mall where the snake karate is at.
- 1:04:18Yeah, the street. The snake karate.
- 1:04:20The snake karate. Yes, there.
- 1:04:23Like if you do that for me, just you know, I can bring you back
- 1:04:27in, there's your petty. Right, 'cause then he can have
- 1:04:32as much lobster and melted butter as he wants.
- 1:04:36I don't want to think about butter anymore.
- 1:04:40Not after this. Robbie returns home from a
- 1:04:47shopping trip in the hopes of spending some time with his
- 1:04:49mother, only to find Shannon getting ready for another night
- 1:04:52out. She mentions that Johnny came to
- 1:04:55speak with her and suggested that Robbie move in with him.
- 1:04:58But while she doubts in sincerity, Robbie seems
- 1:05:00conflicted. Oh, he said that?
- 1:05:03Oh, I guess he did change. Oh, OK, I'm gonna go surprise
- 1:05:07him later tonight. Yep, that that I should do that.
- 1:05:14Definitely at school. Tired of being bullied, Aisha
- 1:05:18interrupts a training session at the Dojo.
- 1:05:21Not at school, I guess. Tired of being bullied, Aisha
- 1:05:24interrupted a training session at the Dojo and asked join up.
- 1:05:27Johnny is reluctant to train a girl in the ways of Cobra Kai,
- 1:05:31but Miguel convinces him to give her a chance.
- 1:05:34Johnny interviews Aisha as to why she wants to join.
- 1:05:37She tells him the students tease her and send her anonymous
- 1:05:39message that she should hurt herself.
- 1:05:41Johnny calls them a bunch of pussies and says that back in
- 1:05:44his day they would do this teasing to their faces.
- 1:05:47So there was honor and respect. Says that these geeks are hiding
- 1:05:52behind the computers are a bunch of violence.
- 1:05:54Loser. Johnny asked Aisha if she's
- 1:05:58afraid of these losers. Aisha responds that she's not.
- 1:06:00Johnny says then by the time he's done with her, she is going
- 1:06:03to be sending a message back and it's not going to be with her
- 1:06:06keyboard, but it's going to be with her fist.
- 1:06:12And here's Johnny again. Like out of the group saying
- 1:06:18that this is they don't want women in the army.
- 1:06:21What? Just when.
- 1:06:22Girls, girls can't do karate. Girls can't.
- 1:06:25That that's wrong because that's they don't.
- 1:06:28They're not even in the army. What he's.
- 1:06:32He's still living in the 80s. Does he ever, I don't think he
- 1:06:37ever gets out of the 80s throughout this whole thing.
- 1:06:39Maybe. Maybe a little bit, but.
- 1:06:43Yeah. He's wait wait, stuck back.
- 1:06:47We don't want to hurt girls here.
- 1:06:48I was like, dude, if he's so wonder like movies with girls in
- 1:06:59karate or I want to say yes, what was it?
- 1:07:04I forgot I got to look into them because by that time he should
- 1:07:08have learned at least some of these women in and fighting
- 1:07:12action movies. So, so now as I was just gonna
- 1:07:18say, are there 80s movies with women fighting trying to flick
- 1:07:25the one like off the top of my head?
- 1:07:28Brigitte Nielsen, right? Freaking fucking what's her
- 1:07:36name? Red Sonja 1985 Maria Concerto,
- 1:07:44Alonso, The Running Man, Sigourney Weaver, Alien Linda
- 1:07:51Hamilton. Not yet.

- 1:08:11Come on, They were like, there. Call.
- 1:08:15Olivia Diabo. Conan the Destroyer.
- 1:08:20Helen Slater superhero. I don't think he would have
- 1:08:22liked that one. I don't know where he was that
- 1:08:29he wasn't watching any of these movies.
- 1:08:32I don't think Johnny would have liked a Supergirl movie.
- 1:08:38Like I don't at all. I was like, oh Superman.
- 1:08:41Hell yeah, that's a man movie right there.
- 1:08:43Yeah, freaking Helen Slater comes out in 1924 with
- 1:08:46Supergirl. It's like, why they trying to
- 1:08:48get a girl then? Super what?
- 1:08:52What is this die hard Lethal Weapon?
- 1:08:58Tina Turner? Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.
- 1:09:05What about Shira? She.
- 1:09:09Is. Wasn't she 80s?
- 1:09:12Yeah, Leah Thompson and Back to the Future in 1985, I mean.

- 1:09:21You lost me. I know what?
- 1:09:24I know what Leah Thompson is, and I know what Back to the
- 1:09:27Future is. But how did we go from?
- 1:09:29She wasn't a fighting she. Wasn't, but she was in it.
- 1:09:33Wouldn't that make her like, why did this girl look like my
- 1:09:37ex-girlfriend? What does that have to do with
- 1:09:41fighting women? Fighting movies?
- 1:09:43What are you to? Watch has nothing to do with it
- 1:09:46at all. I'm so confused now.
- 1:09:52Now it goes back to the future. That's OK.
- 1:09:56OK, we could do that. So no, I guess he he not aware
- 1:10:04that women can fight also. I guess no.
- 1:10:08Because they have hollow bones, he said.
- 1:10:10They have hollow bones. Who did he?
- 1:10:15What? He says that they have hollow.
- 1:10:19Bones. Like, who was he who see all
- 1:10:24that time with friggin his ex-girlfriend.
- 1:10:30Hey, I want to practice this. Move on.
- 1:10:31You're like, no, you have. I have hollow bones.
- 1:10:34All women have your hollow bones.
- 1:10:35Then. Son of a bitch Johnny is not
- 1:10:40meant for the 2020 is. That's all I'm going to say.
- 1:10:44So like, this dude got out of a freaking Cairo Regenic chamber
- 1:10:51and decided to, like, speak 80s. Nice boombox.
- 1:10:58Boombox is still around. What?
- 1:11:03OK, next scene. Yasmin and Moon.
- 1:11:06Yasmin and Moon are in a parking lot smoking weed.
- 1:11:10High schooler smoking weed. Good times.
- 1:11:12Homeless. Lynn is talk stalking them for
- 1:11:15money. Yasmin tells Moon not to not to
- 1:11:18move or make eye contact, but Moon does and let Lynn gets near
- 1:11:22the car to harass him about money.
- 1:11:23Give me money. Hey, you give me money, I want
- 1:11:29your money. She wants pizza again.
- 1:11:31Probably. Do you want Johnny's pizza?
- 1:11:35Yasmin tells Moon to lock a door, but Moon is too slow to do
- 1:11:37it and doesn't want to feel bad. Yeah, I don't want to do that
- 1:11:40either. Like, lock the door.
- 1:11:45I would, but then the the door thing, the lock.
- 1:11:48That's this noise where they can hear too.
- 1:11:52Like, oh fuck that. Like, how dare you?
- 1:11:57So back the backside passenger door opens and it's Sam.
- 1:12:02She confronts both Yas and Moon as to why they are avoiding her.
- 1:12:07She then learns that Kyler has been spreading ugly rumors about
- 1:12:09her around school by telling everyone she performed oral sex
- 1:12:11on him in the theater. Perturbed, Sam breaks off their
- 1:12:15friendship and leaves the car door open, leaving Yasmin Yella.
- 1:12:18She's going to get them killed by homeless Lynn.
- 1:12:22But whoever leaves the car door open, that bothers.
- 1:12:26Me. Fucking Petty.
- 1:12:30Yup, there. Yup.
- 1:12:31Teddy, I'm just going to get out of the car and leave the door
- 1:12:33open. Don't open the door.
- 1:12:37Nah. Fuck you.
- 1:12:41Oh, my God. Back at the Dojo, Johnny ordered
- 1:12:45Miguel to attack Aisha with full force.
- 1:12:48Aisha reminds Johnny that this is her first day.
- 1:12:51Johnny says that your enemies don't care what day it is.
- 1:12:54They prey on weakness, and if she if she wants to beat them,
- 1:12:57she has to conquer her fears and jump base first into the fire.
- 1:13:01Jonny orders them to fight each other.
- 1:13:03Miguel apologizes and kicks her in the midsection, knocking at
- 1:13:06these three feet away. However, Aisha responds by
- 1:13:11tackling Miguel and delivering A brutal knee drop to his
- 1:13:13midsection, solidifying her status as a natural cobra.
- 1:13:20Last episode, Miguel had broken ribs.
- 1:13:22I just want to mention that this episode Miguel's getting more
- 1:13:31broken ribs. Great.
- 1:13:33I I was thinking that too. I'm like, did you hear?
- 1:13:36He goes, oh, my ribs. I'm like, what what is he doing?
- 1:13:39He just got broken ribs. Why is he like having him be
- 1:13:42kicked in the ribs again? He he did it.
- 1:13:46He didn't like, say like kick him in the ribs.
- 1:13:49And he didn't say, like, just don't kick me in the ribs.
- 1:13:51He just like, oh, let me let me practice with you.
- 1:13:55And Aisha tackled him like, that's another rib shot.
- 1:14:00And then Teddy, that knee drop wasn't necessary at all.
- 1:14:11She's just like. Fuck you, I'm just showing you
- 1:14:16women can't fight. Women can't fight by kneeing you
- 1:14:19in the ribs, Johnny laughed in terms of his attention to the
- 1:14:26convenience store across the Dojo where Sarkarian is arguing
- 1:14:29with the tenant. Johnny asked him to be quiet.
- 1:14:31He's trying to run a Dojo. The store clerk tells Johnny
- 1:14:34Darkarian is trying to raise the rent.
- 1:14:36Johnny then asked how's he going to double the rent?
- 1:14:40Sarkarian says figure it out and then leaves.
- 1:14:43More petty. More petty.
- 1:14:49He tell you also tell Daniel that he tried to boba.
- 1:14:52It sucks. Like I tried your boba tea.
- 1:14:57It sucks, man. But I did what you asked like.
- 1:15:02Oh, OK. Thank you.
- 1:15:03Appreciate it. Yeah, Don't ever ask me to do
- 1:15:06that again. Faced with increased rent,
- 1:15:10Johnny visited a pawn shop and attempted to sell some of his
- 1:15:12vintage possession, but to no avail.
- 1:15:16Yeah, nice Nintendo you got there, buddy.
- 1:15:22Fucking Atari, he Yeah, definitely he doesn't.
- 1:15:28Even know the difference between the game systems.
- 1:15:31He doesn't. It's like it's a Nintendo.
- 1:15:34A guy. My For years, my mom called the
- 1:15:36fucking Super Nintendo. A Nintendo.
- 1:15:39The Sega Genesis. A Nintendo.
- 1:15:41The Nintendo 64? A Nintendo.
- 1:15:43The PlayStation. A Nintendo I used to play with
- 1:15:46the Nintendo. I'm like fucking hell Mom.
- 1:15:48Yeah, everything is Nintendo. But it's not.
- 1:15:51It's not. What is the PlayStation like?
- 1:15:54No, Nintendo. OK, all right.
- 1:15:57Yeah, Nintendo, I'll stop. I'll just stop arguing with you.
- 1:16:00Just. Fighting.
- 1:16:00So it's just like it's just like calling everything pop.
- 1:16:05Son of a bitch. Wow.
- 1:16:11Let's just call it Pepsi. No, it's Pop.
- 1:16:14There you go. It's a fuzzy pop feeling that
- 1:16:18gives you diabetes later on. Yeah, can I have the the pop,
- 1:16:23please? That's why.
- 1:16:28Did you not realize that you're doing that pop Nintendo
- 1:16:31comparison? Sorry I called you out.
- 1:16:36Oh. My God is, is this your way of
- 1:16:43being petty after last week? Wait, I wasn't petty last week?
- 1:16:48I was. Oh yeah, were you I?
- 1:16:52Don't know. That's my turn.
- 1:16:54OK. Johnny then dropped by the mini
- 1:16:56bar to pick up some more beer and encounters Daniel, who very
- 1:17:01suddenly reveals that he knows Johnny was responsible for the
- 1:17:03Billboard but put Johnny's beer on his tab and leave.
- 1:17:07What the fuck you talking about a tab, Johnny?
- 1:17:09I mean Daniel. Right.
- 1:17:10Well, how? Why?
- 1:17:11See the tab? It's.
- 1:17:13A good day convenience store dude.
- 1:17:17It's like. Wait, there's Petty right there
- 1:17:21as well. Because Daniel says put his beer
- 1:17:26on my tab. It looks like he's had a bad
- 1:17:29day. So yeah, there's Petty in there
- 1:17:32too. He could tell the sarcasm in
- 1:17:34Daniel's voice with that one, that's like, underlying petty,
- 1:17:42no, your. Best part about it is that hold
- 1:17:46on back to the pawn shop, the guy says that that his rent was
- 1:17:53increased also. So everybody's rent and that
- 1:17:56whole strip mall has increased. So he's all like, yeah, I'm
- 1:17:58going to have to bill you more because you know that rent's
- 1:18:00increased. A store clerk should have been
- 1:18:03just like giving more money. My rent was increased because of
- 1:18:06you. Like what?
- 1:18:10But can I say the the coin collection that he showed?
- 1:18:14I had that coin collection like in that blue folder and
- 1:18:18everything so. That was real.
- 1:18:21That was the real thing. That was the real thing, yeah.
- 1:18:24Solid gold. No, no, my it wasn't gold,
- 1:18:27though it was looked exactly like that.
- 1:18:29But it was. Mine was pennies.
- 1:18:31Oh, OK. It had the collection of the
- 1:18:33pennies with the little folding blue, just like the one they
- 1:18:36showed showed. I didn't.
- 1:18:37There was no gold, but it was pennies.
- 1:18:41That's cool. Yeah, I thought that was pretty
- 1:18:43cool. Wasn't gold though.
- 1:18:46It wasn't gold. No.
- 1:18:50At home, Danny opens up the bottle of wine to celebrate the
- 1:18:52impending closure of Cobra Kai, but his wife Amanda's beside
- 1:18:56herself when she learns about Daniel's scheme.
- 1:19:00Though he succeeded in getting back at his rival, she points
- 1:19:02out that he failed to take the other businesses at the mall
- 1:19:05into account, meaning that their rents have all gone up, too.
- 1:19:10You're always thinking about yourself, Daniel, he implores
- 1:19:14Daniel to return his also, but not stoop to Johnny's level.
- 1:19:17Stop being petty, Daniel. Or petty.
- 1:19:22More petty. Stop thinking about yourself,
- 1:19:25Daniel. Think about other people too.
- 1:19:27Maybe Johnny would have wanted to get back with Allie.
- 1:19:30You don't know. Oh boy.
- 1:19:33Over there trying to be all freaking petty and jersey
- 1:19:39reducing Jersey way. If you can't open the door, kick
- 1:19:47it open. Exactly.
- 1:19:50Oh, that just flashed back in my head.
- 1:19:52I'm karate kid. I just.
- 1:19:56Love that we've never seen that guy ever again.
- 1:19:59I know what. We we live in the same complex
- 1:20:04for the entire duration of the movie, but we don't see him
- 1:20:07again. No, no, He's in there several
- 1:20:09times. He's at the beach and then and
- 1:20:12then he is. He was at the he was at the
- 1:20:15competition. Was he?
- 1:20:17Yes, he was at the competition. Oh God, we got to watch it
- 1:20:20again. We keep saying this.
- 1:20:23We're supposed to watch it again.
- 1:20:25We just have not watched it yet. Right.
- 1:20:28But because, like, that whole thing at the beach is like,
- 1:20:31yeah, John Daniel get into that kick.
- 1:20:33And was like, him trying to like you.
- 1:20:35OK, man, come on. Let me get help you up.
- 1:20:38And Danny does this thing where he's like, throwing sand.
- 1:20:40I was like, no, leave me alone. Oh, my God.
- 1:20:43Oh, God. And we don't see the.
- 1:20:46We don't see this dude ever again.
- 1:20:48Like, hey, I know you kicked a door in my face, but let me help
- 1:20:53you up, bro. Like, Nope.
- 1:20:58Oh, God. OK, the next day of school, Sam
- 1:21:02finds that her association with Jasmine Group has caused a rift
- 1:21:05between her and Aisha. Jasmine puts her bag on the
- 1:21:09chair that Sam would have sat in.
- 1:21:11Whoa, what was that? You're going to say it?
- 1:21:14Randy, go ahead. Wait, what am I saying?
- 1:21:18Yeah, Yasmine putting her bag on the chair, saying.
- 1:21:24Oh, you can't sit with us? There it is.
- 1:21:27You can't sit with us. You can't sit with us.
- 1:21:32Oh. Eddie.
- 1:21:36Eddie So Petty. So petty, You can't sit with us,
- 1:21:41Yasmin or Sam. You can't sit with us at all.
- 1:21:45We're petty. Ayesha tell Sam not to even
- 1:21:48bother, but she can go with Kyler, who doesn't mind that she
- 1:21:51sucks. Fed up with her classmates
- 1:21:55teasing, Sam confronts Kyler about the rumors, but he openly
- 1:21:57mocks her. He tells her the whole cafeteria
- 1:22:00about Laruga's billboard with the big Dick on it, saying that
- 1:22:02Sam takes after her dad. Yeah.
- 1:22:09I don't like him. Everyone laughed, except for
- 1:22:11Miguel, Demetri and Eli, who just showed up to sit at the
- 1:22:13table she drops her into. She drops into a stands as if to
- 1:22:18attack him, but Miguel interrupts and Kyles Kyler off
- 1:22:22for being such an asshole. Yes, Miguel.
- 1:22:26Miguel comes to her rescue. I love this part.
- 1:22:29Love this part. Demetri and Eli are like, oh
- 1:22:32fuck again. Oh, like come out, let's go
- 1:22:36somewhere else. Let's go, let's go sit somewhere
- 1:22:39else. It's like we don't want to do
- 1:22:42it. They ran.
- 1:22:42They basically ran because he. Said they did.
- 1:22:45They did. Kyler shows Miguel and taunts
- 1:22:48him, but Miguel responds by trapping Kyler's arm and
- 1:22:50punching him in the face. The cafeteria erupts as Miguel
- 1:22:53does battle with Kyler and his gang, decimating them in minutes
- 1:22:56and pressing Sam. But Miguel is then sent to the
- 1:22:58office. My favorite scene right here,
- 1:23:03the whole this is the whole the trailer they did for the the
- 1:23:09Cobra Kai trailer. He didn't want to shit.
- 1:23:12This is what like this scene and the scene where Johnny bites
- 1:23:17Kyler's gang. Oh crap, yeah.
- 1:23:21Those two scenes were in the trailer and that's where they're
- 1:23:23like, oh shit, I'm watching this movie, watching the show, and
- 1:23:27that's what everybody liked about it.
- 1:23:29That's what like, let's see what this is about.
- 1:23:33Yeah, well, I him taking the when he takes the cafeteria
- 1:23:38cafeteria tray and he just takes them all out with that cafeteria
- 1:23:42tray, that's like awesome. Awesome.
- 1:23:47So I just, I bought this is when I knew it was gonna get good.
- 1:23:50This is this is when it gets good.
- 1:23:54So watch this scene right here. Obviously I work and I'm sitting
- 1:23:59there watching it and I do this. Oh, I'm like, yes.
- 1:24:01And here comes everybody else. Like, what the Hell's wrong with
- 1:24:05you, dude? What's going on?
- 1:24:06Watching Cobra Kai. Oh, OK, here we go.
- 1:24:10Look at this. See.
- 1:24:11Look at this fight thing. I had to share it all over the
- 1:24:13place. After school, Miguel tells
- 1:24:17Johnny about the fight. Johnny says Miguel's mom is
- 1:24:18gonna kill him. His grandmother answered the
- 1:24:21call when the school called and she was proud of him.
- 1:24:26Nana Yaya. Yaya doesn't speak English.
- 1:24:31Yaya doesn't speak English, right?
- 1:24:34No, she speaks English. She Yaya speaks English, yeah.
- 1:24:38Yeah, she speaks both English and Spanish.
- 1:24:40Yeah, she speaks English. OK, like, I just, like, ever
- 1:24:46imagine her, like, oh, picking up the phone.
- 1:24:49Like, yes, we're talking. We're one of the parents of
- 1:24:53Miguel. He's been in a fight.
- 1:24:55Oh, no. What happened?
- 1:25:00He beat up a bunch of bullies. OK, I tell them.
- 1:25:03I could picture her just saying I'm so proud.
- 1:25:06I'm so proud of him. What did the bullies do?
- 1:25:10What did the police do to him? You know, like, I could just
- 1:25:14pictures. Like, oh, yeah, he got into
- 1:25:15fight with the other guys, too. Yeah, OK.
- 1:25:20Well, they should have not messed with my grandson.
- 1:25:24What now? Like, my grandma would have gone
- 1:25:27in there and, like, fucking kicked them.
- 1:25:29Also, like, karate each other. Like you.
- 1:25:32You, you. You're beating up my grandson.
- 1:25:35Yeah. Come here, grab him by the ear
- 1:25:38and fucking take him out to the fucking front of the school and
- 1:25:42just like, knocked him out. Hey, she did that.
- 1:25:48What? She came to my school and like,
- 1:25:50oh shit, I don't know who this woman is.
- 1:25:54Who grab was this? I don't know her, I promise.
- 1:25:57I swear I don't know who she is. And then she just stares at me
- 1:26:01like, oh fuck, that's another school grandma story for later.
- 1:26:13So the school called and she was proud of him.
- 1:26:15Johnny then says that Miguel took all the lessons he was
- 1:26:17taught and used to beat the shit out of those bullies.
- 1:26:20Miguel says yes, and like a proud father, Johnny rewards
- 1:26:23Miguel with his old Cobra Kai training Gee and embraces him.
- 1:26:27This is where the part where Robbie shows up and like, oh
- 1:26:33hell no. You're hugging another kid?
- 1:26:37Yep. Like, oh, what?
- 1:26:40Like not even going to question it.
- 1:26:42Like, OK, I came in at the wrong time.
- 1:26:45You're hugging another kid. I'm out.
- 1:26:48I know. So, like, I'm really like, oh.
- 1:26:52OK, that's weird, but no. He has plans of his own.
- 1:26:57Robbie has plans of his own, though he.
- 1:26:59Does he does? More, more petty coming in.
- 1:27:04Daniel visits Mr. Miyagi's grave.
- 1:27:06After a moment of reflection, he suddenly has a flashback to the
- 1:27:09night of his 18th birthday in Miyagi's speech about karate
- 1:27:12lessons, unbalanced being applied to one's life.
- 1:27:16I love. That part.
- 1:27:19We all love that part. The fact that they brought him
- 1:27:22back. Mr. Miyagi's gravestone, The
- 1:27:27Born and Died months are the same as Pat Morita's.
- 1:27:30Marita was seven years younger than Miyagi and died six years
- 1:27:34earlier when. I first watched this.
- 1:27:42I looked that up right away. That was one of the first things
- 1:27:44I did. Like, wait a minute, what?
- 1:27:46No, that's not right. And then, like Miyagi died in
- 1:27:502011, Marita passed away in 2005.
- 1:27:57Or 6 around there. So it was just like, oh OK, but
- 1:28:02it's the same month in born and died month.
- 1:28:07Basically June and November. Born in June, died in November.
- 1:28:16Nadiyoshi Muryaki's gravestone indicates that he served in the
- 1:28:19442nd Regiment and received the Medal of Honor.
- 1:28:22The 442nd Regiment combat team was composed of almost entirely
- 1:28:26a second generation Japanese Americans and the most decorated
- 1:28:30regiment in U.S. military history. 21 of its members were
- 1:28:35awarded the Medal of Honor, activated in early 1943.
- 1:28:38The regiment received about one year of training before being
- 1:28:41sent to the European theater. Mr. Miyagi would have been 17 or
- 1:28:4518 and joined the American in 19 or 20 when he earned his medal.
- 1:28:50The regiment's model was go for broke and was commemorated with
- 1:28:54AUS stamp issued on June 3rd, 2021.
- 1:28:59So we get to see that as well as the reason he's ever done back
- 1:29:04story to Miyagi stuff, basically.
- 1:29:07I love. It next scene Johnny arrives is
- 1:29:11Dojo, where a long line has formed up students watching the
- 1:29:14fight between Miguel and Kyler and wanting to apply for Cobra
- 1:29:17Kai classes. Johnny tells Miguel looks like
- 1:29:19they're they're in business and when he opens the door the scene
- 1:29:23changes into Daniel opening the door to his old Dojo, to which
- 1:29:26he starts cleaning it out and puts the old Japanese manuscript
- 1:29:31on the walls as well as portraits of his old sensei, Mr.
- 1:29:34Miyagi. Oh God, it is just like the
- 1:29:40scene where he just like puts his stuff.
- 1:29:43I'm just like Mr. Yagi. I got it.
- 1:29:47I got emotional when I saw that. And do you know the what even
- 1:29:53made it more so was the music they played was the same as the
- 1:29:58ending to Karate Kid, the first Karate Kid.
- 1:30:02When that music came on, I was like, Oh my God, is that It's
- 1:30:07something about that music that always gets me And they they put
- 1:30:10it in when he was cleaning out the his or, you know, fixing his
- 1:30:13studio. Bill Conti, composer Yes is.
- 1:30:18That what it is? Yeah, that's.
- 1:30:20Who he was, that's who the composer was.
- 1:30:21Like Bill Conti. I had to go check on Double
- 1:30:25check on the Karate Kids soundtracks, the Karate Kids
- 1:30:29stuff, It's all there. He does it for the first one.
- 1:30:34I gotta go check on the 2nd and 3rd movies.
- 1:30:38Optical flipped. The next day, Amanda's
- 1:30:40interviewing Robbie, who might have given her a fake high
- 1:30:43school transcript. He's missing a month of school.
- 1:30:53It's impressive. It's impressive how he had a
- 1:30:55transcript already. Amanda will ask why isn't he in
- 1:30:59college? Go ahead.
- 1:31:02No, I'm just go ahead. Robbie says he is just taking
- 1:31:06some time off to figure things out.
- 1:31:08Amanda asked why he doesn't want.
- 1:31:10Why does he want to work there? He answered.
- 1:31:11This is exactly where he wants to be.
- 1:31:14I meant to tell us when. You can start Monday and she's
- 1:31:16shaking sand and petty. Yup, that's where the the big
- 1:31:23petty is. I think Robbie's coming in and
- 1:31:27yeah, this is again where it starts getting good.
- 1:31:33It is all because I'm gonna go work for Larusso since you have
- 1:31:38another kid over there that's like, OK, whatever, OK, back in
- 1:31:47the Daniel Dojo, traditional Japanese music, which is
- 1:31:51actually composed by Bill Ponti on The Karate Kid soundtrack, is
- 1:31:55heard as he starts putting picture frames of Mr. Miyagi,
- 1:32:01one of instruments. What was that?
- 1:32:06I just said all Mr. Miyagi. Oh, Mr. Miyagi picture frames
- 1:32:13are of Mr. Miyagi, one of himself and his daughter
- 1:32:15practicing karate, and I think more there were more of them.
- 1:32:20He finds and Dons the iconic headband injury, and the song
- 1:32:23changes once again to that of the final scene in The Karate
- 1:32:26Kid movie Bill Conti Again, and this is called Daniel's Moment
- 1:32:32of Truth. He begins to form the Miyagi
- 1:32:36Family Kata, having presumably returned to involve self.
- 1:32:40Before the show ends, we get an image of a tribute to Notre Yuku
- 1:32:43Pat Morita, who passed away in 2005, and that's the end of the
- 1:32:50episode. Yep.
- 1:32:53How? What do you think of the how
- 1:32:55they did that ending where they put the memory of with Pat
- 1:32:58Morita? Why?
- 1:33:00Didn't they put in the first episode?
- 1:33:03I don't know. I was wondering that too,
- 1:33:04because it's not like he, he, he, it's not like he had just
- 1:33:09passed away. Right.
- 1:33:11Like that could have been done too, The fact that it's like
- 1:33:15halfway through or the last. Now that I think about it,
- 1:33:20though, no, you know, yeah, true.
- 1:33:22But I also think they did put it in a good part because he's
- 1:33:26bringing back the studio like he's Dan now, Daniel's, he's in
- 1:33:30this, now it's coming back. So, like, he's he's well, Yeah,
- 1:33:37'cause he, this is where he first visited, visited him, was
- 1:33:40in this episode. And then he's bringing back,
- 1:33:43he's bringing it back. He's bringing back the studio.
- 1:33:47Mr. Miyagi. Everything he taught him, you
- 1:33:49know, he's he's back to being his old Daniel in 19.
- 1:33:54What, 85 or 84? Yes, what did I think of this
- 1:34:02episode? The Petty episode.
- 1:34:05Petty episode and. We're we're doing petty stuff.
- 1:34:10Counterbalance, which is just like one after the other.
- 1:34:14Other stuff, yeah, it's it's like, damn favorite scene is
- 1:34:20going to be the the cafeteria. That's absolutely my favorite
- 1:34:25scene. I love that scene.
