Starting point is 00:00:00 The Karate Kid! Hey, Barney, it's Ralph. Listen, it's always flag. No! I hate Ralph Machio! I hate him, hate him, hate him! He is not the Karate Kid! The Karate Kid was William Zauka,
Starting point is 00:00:17 star pupil of the Kobriky Dojo, whom this monster defeated with a cheap, illegal head kick in the most tragically haunting film ending of all time. And returns. I'm your host, Brian, and with me is someone that always remembers to strike first, strike hard, definitely. There's no mercy. My co-host has. What's up, man?
Starting point is 00:01:32 Oh, man, I'm good, man. How you doing? It's freezing down here. What about up there? It is ridiculously cold right now. I think we're getting into the, it's going to be the coldest weeks out of the whole winter. here the next week or two. He has in the negatives.
Starting point is 00:01:52 Yeah, last time I checked with negative 15. Well, we're 23. It's cold. It's cold as you guys. We get the negatives, but maybe every other year we break
Starting point is 00:02:11 the double digits, but it's usually just maybe negative five at the cold. Been a... Twenty-three. I'm wearing shorts. I'm ready to put my sweatshirt on. I had the heater on in here for a minute, but then turned it off.
Starting point is 00:02:29 I'm ready to put my sweatshirt on. Because I'm on the side of the house that gets the sun first thing in the morning. So by the time it goes down, it's freezing on this side. Oh, man. But everyone, thank you so much for listening to the first two parts of this. uh, karate kid retrospective. Um, uh, a friend of mine, he or she listened to the, the last one we did because she is a fan of the next karate kid. And she goes, why did you guys hate it so much? I'm like, did you watch the three movies before?
Starting point is 00:03:10 He was, well, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm like, uh, I was like, uh, what did you like about it? I said they didn't even show anything. I asked my daughter as well. She was like, I was good. All right. Two each is on, I guess. My wife seen the posting of it and asked,
Starting point is 00:03:31 why did we even review that movie? Well, we had to. We didn't want to. We had to. Oh, well, we're here this episode to talk about the awesomeness that is
Starting point is 00:03:48 Cobra Kai. Fighting positions. I just don't know why you'd ever want to bring back Cobra Kai. We're not trained to be merciful here. Mercy is for the weak. You may know the moves, but none of that matters unless you have balance.
Starting point is 00:04:12 In the fist. Yes, yes, sir. Johnny. And I this we aren't done. Were you, when you first heard about the show, were you anticipating it or were you kind of like, uh, why they got to make show out of it? No, not me, man. I was hyped. Uh, the first picture I saw, I don't even know what I was on.
Starting point is 00:04:51 I think we're just scrolling around and I saw it. And I was like, wait, what? I was like, what's this? And then I clicked on it and then they showed some pictures. The first picture I saw was Daniel and Johnny standing in a Cobra Kai Dojo looking at each other. And I was like, oh, dude, I got goosebumps thinking about it. And I was like, damn, I can't wait for this. And then I was hyped.
Starting point is 00:05:21 Try to get the Zizi to watch it. And he still hasn't seen any of you. I'm like, dude, you watch all this other bullshit. You can't watch this. What? So I think the next up to the challenge that the East Society does, I'm going to have to have him do this. Because he's challenged me to numerous television shows, and I had to watch the whole season. So I'm going to get him with this one.
Starting point is 00:05:46 I'm saying, no, you need to watch the whole thing. And then we'll talk about it because he's just, I don't know why he can. I mean, he watches a lot of good stuff and everything, but he's more into the reality shows later. lately. That's the stuff I can't get into. But this, man, I was all on board. Um, just loving the films, except for the last one. And just, I couldn't wait. I think it was just more of growing up with these characters and just wanting to see if they can do it or if was it going to be stupid. I mean, I wasn't sure. I was excited. And then when the trailer came out, I was like, oh, man, this looks hell of good.
Starting point is 00:06:28 And then I was still like, I hope it's good and it stays good. Because I still wasn't really sure the anticipation for the show. And then when it finally came out, luckily my son had YouTube bread or YouTube premium, whatever they're calling it. He had it. So I was able to sit down and watch it. My wife, she knows karate kids. So I said, do you want to watch it? this you can give it a shot that first episode we were hooked and I was glad that the whole season was dropped all at once not every week so we just zip through that whole first season and not we I was just oh my God I couldn't believe and then when I got to the end of season one and that blew my mind I was like oh my God I just couldn't believe that this half hour show
Starting point is 00:07:26 was going to be so awesome. Ralph Machio and William Zabka always been acting still. I mean, I think I've seen more Williams-Zabka pop up and things here and there. And I think he was in that one show. That last season, how I met your mother playing himself. That's just what I heard. I haven't really dove into that show. But I was like, is it going to be about them?
Starting point is 00:07:52 But then when we see all these other little kids or teenagers, I was like, okay. I mean, it's going to be like that. So then watch the show and I was blown away. I just could not believe how awesome the show is. And much less, we got three seasons now. Season four is greenlit and I I can't wait. I can't. What did you think about it? I mean, when you first heard about it.
Starting point is 00:08:19 I have to be honest, when I first heard about it, I was kind of like, I don't know about this. But then when I heard they were bringing Ralph Machio and Williams-Zalka back, I was like, okay, I'm a little bit more on board. But when they then said it was going to be from the point of view of Johnny and Cobra Kai, I was like, okay, I'm on board. And yeah, every season that has came out has not disappointed, in my opinion. And every season was been watched, Ben's watched in the first day each season. I love the characters. I love the callbacks.
Starting point is 00:09:00 I mean, they, they brought characters back that I didn't even think they would even get. Or if they were going to do those characters, I wasn't sure they were going to get the same actors. And they did not disappoint. And I liked progression of the story because they're not given. too much. They're spacing it out. They're not hitting you with everything all at once. And yeah, I love this show. This is like one of the best shows. I don't even know how long. That that's just really struck a chord with me. It just speaks to my childhood. And I love the, like I said, the progression of Johnny and also the progression of Daniel. Because we kind of see where they are after all this.
Starting point is 00:09:49 time and things are kind of switched. And I just love the whole storytelling of it. Yeah. Quick little synopsis. 34 years after the events of the 1984 All-Valley Karate Tournament, a down-and-out Johnny Lawrence seeks redemption by reopening the infamous Coburkai Dojo, reigniting his rivalry with a now successful Daniel LaRuso. That was pretty much the first season. I mean, dealing with them before we're introduced to Miguel and Sam and Hawk and Eli and all the rest of them. But with a new addition of all these teenagers, but they were all pretty much in their 20s. So, but I was like, okay. I mean, I did love the, like you said, how we're seeing it in Johnny's.
Starting point is 00:10:49 eyes now and how he saw the events that unfolded in the first film and I love that how they kept showing all the flashbacks uh from the first film uh as as well as the music I mean the 80s music was just blasting through this and I love that the Johnny is a kid of the 80s and he's still stuck in the 80s like I am and I was just like no no you're you're not like him he's Daniel kicked him so hard. He is clueless on anything that is not from the 80s. But his music tastes mainly, I mean, even in this last, in the third season, bringing Dee Snyder from Twisted Sister in.
Starting point is 00:11:35 But the music he was listening to, I mean, the very beginning, the first 80s song that they pump into this is poison. Ain't nothing but a good time from Look with the Cat. No, it wasn't Look with the Cat dragged in. It was the second. Open up and say I think. But and then playing rat, lay it down and just the shit that he was listening to throughout the whole all three seasons. And like we had mentioned in the first one, I mean, he was one of the little spoiled rich kids.
Starting point is 00:12:09 But we didn't know that side of the story. We never saw his parents or anything. And we find out that his, his upbringing was. I think is, did his father die or did he just leave? I believe he died and the mom wanted to. Essentially, I don't know, they didn't really say, but it kind of seemed like the stepfather she married, she might not have loved him. She just wanted to give her son a better life. I think so.
Starting point is 00:12:38 I mean, me, me, he just did it for the money, but she, she passed and, uh, uh, what's his name? the actor's name everyone knows who he is Ed Azne. He promised to take care of Johnny because she I think she got cancer or something and she passed.
Starting point is 00:13:01 So, but Johnny was just I don't think he after the All Valley in 84 he pretty much said that his life just went down the tubes and I don't even know
Starting point is 00:13:16 if he went to college I don't think so. But I think he just didn't think much of himself anymore because he was just really down. And when we see him now, he's still got that, that, um, um, is a Camaro or a Firebird? I can't remember what color. I remember with Red, but he still mobbed. He's still mobbing that around and still got the tape deck. And, but he just kind of distanced himself away from his stepfather.
Starting point is 00:13:47 And he just turned into a handyman, basically. But, I mean, it was good to see that. He didn't grow up to be this rich asshole. He was more of just a working man asshole. He was still that bad assigne that we saw in the first film, just minus all the money. But he didn't think like he really needed it. He was still living his life and drinking the banquet beer. All right, everyone.
Starting point is 00:14:15 That was my dad's choice of beer. when I was growing up, but I don't know, man. Either I just grew up and I can't drink that or Budweiser or any of that stuff. I'm like, uh,
Starting point is 00:14:28 with all these new, new, new beers, I mean, there's, come on. No, I can't drink those little stubbies that he was drinking
Starting point is 00:14:39 throughout every season, but, uh, it was good that, you mean, he seemed like he was still, mad about his life, but he was doing what he had to do to get by, man. He was frying bologna.
Starting point is 00:14:54 I mean, that's low. I don't even, I don't even need regular bologna, much less fry it. But a good old Walmart. I get the great value brand, Turkey or something. But his life was not what we saw in the first film. We only saw basically the first film and a little bit of the beginning of the second one. but Daniel just obviously went off to college and kept all the knowledge that he got from Miyagi
Starting point is 00:15:23 and just kind of put it over into his kids because when we're introduced to his daughter Samantha, I didn't like her at all, period, at all three seasons. She is the true, she's the true villain of this series. The first season, man, she's just a little hoe. Man, she was, she hooked up with that Chinese guy. And I hated that dude, too. Then she hooked up with Miguel.
Starting point is 00:15:54 Kyler. And then the Bobby or Robbie. I was like, oh, man, what's going on? I mean, yeah, she's cute and everything. But I'm like, no. I mean, I don't know. She bugged me. I mean, but the guy that really bugged me the most out of this whole three seasons was
Starting point is 00:16:16 Eli. I'm sorry, man. I did not like that guy. He was just, he was just an arrogant asshole. He got his redemption in the second season, but he, he just bugged me the whole,
Starting point is 00:16:32 all three seasons. Are you talking about Dimitri? Oh, I'm sorry, Demetian. Who's Eli? Oh, Eli was Hawk. Yeah, Hawk. Eli Muscovitz. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:43 No, yeah, Dimitri. Gianni Des Senzo Man, that kid bugged the shit out of me I was like, oh, somebody beat him Yeah, they did, but I didn't like him at all But, I mean, I loved Miguel. I'm not even going to try to pronounce his real name. It's like X-O-L-O-O or something.
Starting point is 00:17:10 I don't know, but Miguel was cool. I did like him. Hawk, he was just badass. I mean, I felt sorry for him in the beginning, but then once he got his strength and his skills down, he was badass. Yeah, he was an asshole of third season and a little bit of the second, but he was still fresh, man.
Starting point is 00:17:32 I don't care. I'm team Hawk. So, but I mean, the first season was good. I mean, I loved how they laid the story down on who each character was. And we find out that Johnny's got his son, Robbie and his mom's. She's a little ho, too, just hoeing it at the bars. And did, or was that the second season that, Tori. Did she come in?
Starting point is 00:18:03 Yes, she came to the second season. All right. But the one girl, Nicole Brown, Aisha, I think that's her name. I mean, what happened to her? Why wasn't she in the third one? I know something happened in real life to where they wouldn't let her do it or she didn't. I don't know. Do you know?
Starting point is 00:18:23 I can't necessarily find something. I heard she was, I don't know if it was true or not because, you know, it's the internet and you can't believe everything. But I heard she was doing some kind of go fund me for something. And I don't know if she pissed some people off, but she kind of got rid of. not of season three, but the producers have said that they're not shutting the door on her return for season four. So she did something bad enough not to be on the season, but I guess the door is open. And she has lost hell of wait, if you look at pictures of her now. I'm trying to just find something to see what it says.
Starting point is 00:19:10 because she broke the news on Instagram. She just said, I'm not officially not in season three. Unfortunate, but thank you for the opportunity and time I had on the show. So that was pretty much how everyone found out. But not really sure on what she actually did. So, but I mean,
Starting point is 00:19:35 I don't think it was anything like you'll never be on the show I mean, if whatever the goal fund me, if that's what that was, I mean, I, I don't know. I'd have to definitely look around for more. I guess we should have before, but, I mean, I liked her character on who she was. She showed a good, like a good, good, a good strong woman, young woman. I liked her character that way because we see that, I mean, majority of the coach, Cobra Kai guys were all the ones being bullied. That's what I liked.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Other than Daniel, they got bullied pretty much through the whole first movie. But everybody in Cobra Kai in this in the show, Miguel, Hawk, Aisha, the little white guy, Bert. I liked him and the other little Asian. Oh, Bert, man, they did my guys so wrong in season three. Yeah, they did. But, I mean, I liked. all of that how these they were the they were the underdogs and and by the end of the end of the
Starting point is 00:20:46 season I mean cobra the cobra kai guys they all got uh their redemption um and I loved that we saw that the the transformation a hawk from just this shy little timid guy he had um uh a cleft palate or whatever I think that's what it's called and uh he had the little surgery to get his lip sewed back together and that was something. that he was bullied on. I mean, all the bulliness that was going on to this,
Starting point is 00:21:14 I mean, Aisha for being, for being a heavy girl, I mean, Hawk, his, his, they kept calling him lip.
Starting point is 00:21:22 And I was like, damn. And I don't, I think Miguel was just, I mean, they were just bullying him, that older, uh,
Starting point is 00:21:33 Asian guy. I can't remember his name. I, I hated that kid, period. I mean, uh, Kyleer.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Yeah, that fool, man. I don't even like seeing his face. I mean, good on him, man. Joe Cio, I think his name. I mean, he, he did a good job. He, I'm the asshole, and this is how I'm doing it. I mean, good him as an actor, but as the character, I just, I hated him because I knew guys like that.
Starting point is 00:22:07 and I was just like Oh, like fuck man I mean this I was never bullied in school Because I didn't play that shit But I I knew a lot of people that were bullied And those were those were my friends
Starting point is 00:22:21 And I always stood up for them and all that But these guys man Especially I mean Kyler and his whole crew man They were all fucking bullies Glad they got what they deserved in the second season Especially that one Heavy white dude That was his little sidekick
Starting point is 00:22:37 He got his ass beat. I want to look like the kid from a bad Santa. Yeah. Man, I wish they would have showed it. I mean, you seen Hawk just drilling on his face and nothing. That was like weak.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Well. But, I mean, the first season, like I said, they were just laying down who everybody was and the story of Johnny and Daniel. In the third film,
Starting point is 00:23:05 Daniel was pissing me off because he was just so high. strong and just a little whiny bitch this season he was wasn't as bad but he was still a little whiny bitch so but i mean i just i don't know man i mean i was all for him in the first film as well as a second but this i mean these three seasons he's still he's still getting on my nerves i mean i'm all about johnny i'm team johnny So, I just, I don't know, I mean, Ralph Macho, he used to be in my life forever with all the movies he did. But this character, I just, I don't like Daniel LaRosa anymore.
Starting point is 00:23:51 And I hated his son, Anthony, a little, oh, my God. Speaking of spoiled rich kids, I was like, oh, but, man, props that little guy, man. He lost a lot of weight because I didn't even realize that was him. Yeah. In the third season. I was like, is that the same kid? And I had to look it up and it was. So good for you, kid.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Griffin, Santo, Pipe. I don't know. I didn't try this last name, but he, they kind of did him dirty. He was popped in every now and then the first season, the second season. It was like maybe a couple times and third season once. I was like, damn. But they just, they just wanted to show him how much weight he lost. and then he needed to get out of there.
Starting point is 00:24:41 I guess, man. We didn't even get no love for Lucille, Daniel's mom, this third season. I know she popped in in the second one. But the second season, I know it was just because the first season was the lead-up to the All-Valley. And the final match. When we're introduced to Robbie Johnny's son, he's just. another little asshole just running around out there doing dirt I hated those two fucks that were with him
Starting point is 00:25:14 his little crew oh Chris Brown and the other guy that's who that was no he looked like him okay I mean that that's what I would get he looked just like him oh man those two do I don't even know who the other the white guy that was hanging with it man
Starting point is 00:25:32 he had that porn stash and he looked older than all that the big foot those those two fools, man. I didn't like them at all. So, but I mean, they did their job in the show. But,
Starting point is 00:25:46 I mean, everything that was going on the first season, I mean, I was, I was all on board with what was happening. The other two dudes I didn't like
Starting point is 00:25:55 with those two assholes that worked for Daniel. One of them was his cousin, uh, Louis, Louis Leruso Jr. Oh, that's,
Starting point is 00:26:03 uh, Louiso? I didn't know that. And the other dude, um, Anush. I don't even know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:26:10 I don't like those two guys. Especially Louis, man. I mean, that's just straight jersey right there. I mean, he fucking got on my terms. But I noticed they dropped the F bomb a few times. I know they did it the third season and the first season. Not sure about the second season. But that was kind of surprising on that.
Starting point is 00:26:37 And as well as, I mean, of course it was on YouTube, so it was a paid service so they can get away with a little more. But I know there were some parents that were like, why do they need to use those type of words? I mean, they didn't go overboard with them. But, I mean, that's how kids talk. So, but I mean, I drop a F bomb here and there. I mean, that was fine. But it just didn't. It didn't.
Starting point is 00:27:05 There was no need to write. the press to try to get them to cancel the show because I mean because there's all kids are looking up to these guys and now they all they want to do is fight and I'm like if anything it made me want to fight not not just go out and fight somebody in the street but the I mean watching these martial arts things I mean growing up watching all the old kung fu flicks and everything and Bruce Lee yeah leave the theater juiced I mean after sitting there watching the show I was juice I remember when we were done We were making dinner.
Starting point is 00:27:40 I was in the kitchen throwing kicks and in chops. And my wife was like, stop. You go hurt yourself. No, some other dude, the two chicks that, Sam's friends, Moon and. What was that? Other boy. Yasmin, Yasmin or what?
Starting point is 00:28:01 Yeah. Oh, my God. Moon was all right, but Yasmin, oh, my God. Yeah, Moon, that's Miguel's girl in real life. Oh, is it? Okay. Yeah. Yasmin, Annalisa, something.
Starting point is 00:28:25 I don't know. I can try her last name. I knew girls like that in elementary, junior high, and high school. And a couple of them I went to all three schools' stages. they acted like that were a little and they still act like that today because I don't keep contact with them but a lot of my friends do and I see
Starting point is 00:28:51 the things on Facebook and I'm like why are you friends with her oh my god that I mean again I mean she's a good little actress I mean she's she's selling her role on being the bitch of the school but oh man I just hated that.
Starting point is 00:29:11 But, she got her come up and so got the front wedgey. What happened in the second season? I get out of remember it was the end. They said she went to
Starting point is 00:29:26 Europe for the summer. I think that's what they explained. They never said what happened to Kyler, which he comes back in season three. But as far as Yasmin, she went to Europe, I believe. I mean, but what happened, I mean, other than we're introduced to Tory,
Starting point is 00:29:47 I think Sam was kind of bouncing back and forth us between Miguel and Robbie. And that was when they were learning more. Because Daniel did, he took Robbie under his wing and trained him how to fight. So we saw that. He, Daniel was taking his teachings from Miyagi and he was Miyagi this time. Speaking of Miyagi, that first, the scene in the first season when he went to, to the graveyard. And when he was talking to, I was like, oh, I mean, that, that got me because, I mean, it was sad.
Starting point is 00:30:30 I mean, if Pamarita was still alive, it would have been awesome for him to be in the show. but I liked that it was Daniel now taking all his teachings and passed he passed it on to his daughter because she trained at younger age I don't know what happened to Anthony
Starting point is 00:30:52 he was too busy playing video games and eating waffle tacos or know what they call him banana rammed pancakes or something I don't know whatever Daniel called him but I like that he did pass it on to her
Starting point is 00:31:08 All his teachings and he did have his own dojo And his nice house Um And as far as Johnny and Miguel I liked their connection How they were just neighbors And Johnny actually helped out Miguel Because Kyler and his crew
Starting point is 00:31:25 Uh fucking assholes man I mean did they stole his uh Peptobismol and then just kept Started calling him and all that. I think he called him again in the third season.
Starting point is 00:31:41 Yeah. Oh, fuck. I totally forgot. He wasn't even in the second season. So, but, yeah, so the whole story, the first season was just Johnny was training Miguel
Starting point is 00:31:55 and Daniel was training Bobby as well as trying to get his daughter in there. And then it leads up to the, to the All-Valley tournament at the end. Other than Hawk kicking ass and getting disqualified.
Starting point is 00:32:09 He, um, I guess he was not really the Bobby character. I think he was, he was kind of like Bobby and kind of like Tommy. Because he, he did, he turned into that little asshole
Starting point is 00:32:23 at the end and, and was cheating. Uh, because he was like, yeah, he was, he was like Bobby, except he didn't have the remorse that Bobby did.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Yeah, he, because all he was, he fought, um, uh, Robbie and then he fucked his shoulder up, uh, and everything and Hog got disqualified. I don't know about the, the tattoo on his back. I don't know who would tattoo a little teenager. And I loved it. Every time he took his shirt off with his shoulder, you heard the little. hawk cry. I love that.
Starting point is 00:33:06 I thought that was badass. His hair looked like it was, I'm not sure if it was his hair the second or third season. The first season, that was it did look like that was his hair. But this, especially the third season, it looked like, I don't know if it was his hair, okay,
Starting point is 00:33:23 but it looked, it didn't look good. It just looked kind of stupid. But I mean, that's his character. but leading up to the All Valley tournament and Miguel finally coming down into the final with Robbie, I thought that was really good. I mean, these kids, man, they must have trained a lot to do this. Yes, their moves weren't the quickest and especially Sam Daniel's daughter. I mean, she was out there fighting too, but she just seemed like her moves were slow. I mean, because when Tori came into the pictures,
Starting point is 00:34:04 I don't know if she had actually any martial arts skills, but she was selling her moves a lot better, especially with that final fight at the end of the second season, which was amazing. So, but, I mean, I think they did an awesome job with each season finale. I mean, the All Valley to seeing that, the lead up to seeing John Crease come back, and then the high school fight at the end of season two and shit,
Starting point is 00:34:36 how did season three end? Season three ended with shit, I just watched this. The formation of Cobert Nwold, Miyagi Doe, and Eagle fan, Chinese new dojo and Robbie. and Robbie went Roby went full heel and is at Cobra Kai with Tori and uh that's right
Starting point is 00:35:06 the fuck is that kid's name Kyler and uh they're led by John crease so I mean that's that lead up to to what's coming for the fourth season was I mean what I loved about the third season was we got more
Starting point is 00:35:27 uh, story of John crease because we really didn't know much about him other than he was a Vietnam veteran and or who actually trained him we didn't know any of that we get that story finally in the third season with a lot of flashbacks to when he was younger when he was in Vietnam and actually some war scenes that they showed I thought that was that was cool yeah I think it was I think it was really necessary for you to show that because if because your last memory of him was karate kid part three and he was getting his ass kicked so i think you needed these flashbacks to to show the audience that he he is a badass
Starting point is 00:36:13 he he does know some shit i mean because he wasn't always the asshole that we've known since the first film i mean he was just kind of like a normal guy but um they've said it even in the in the first film Miyagi told him he goes it's not there's no such thing as a bad student it's a bad teacher and we see the guy who was who trained John Crease on how
Starting point is 00:36:40 he was a hard ass asshole we saw that so we see where John Crease got that from I mean watching that third season that kind of made if the way he was treated by his sense I mean, I think that would kind of make you not want to be that way, but he just went full on, full all into it.
Starting point is 00:37:07 I mean, but I mean, but again, that's how he was trained because even Johnny one, I mean, he, the way, that's how he was trained. And even in the first season, he was training Miguel and when he got more students the way he was taught. And I loved how Johnny was starting to see it, especially at the end of the first season, when Miguel was in that final fight. And Miguel was like, okay, I know how to take him down. He's got a hurt shoulder. Let me do it.
Starting point is 00:37:38 But Johnny, we saw a different transformation of Johnny to wear. Because that last episode was called Mercy, not no mercy. And Johnny was telling Miguel, he was, look, man. He goes, we want to win, and I want you to win. and I want you to win. He goes, but you don't have to cheat to win. He was trying to tell Miguel that.
Starting point is 00:37:58 Miguel was like, well, fuck that hell not, man. He goes, I know what I'm going to do. And I'm going to win. So you see Johnny's like,
Starting point is 00:38:06 all right, man, what I'm, what I taught these kids this whole time isn't, isn't right. So I liked how he did change towards the end. I mean, this Johnny,
Starting point is 00:38:18 again, this Johnny was a different, different Johnny than what we knew. from the first film. So I think that's why he was my favorite character in it. That's why I'm Team Johnny because he saw the wrong on how he was trained. I mean, you figured he wouldn't have done it because especially at the end of the or the beginning of the second film when John Crease had him in that like headlock and everything was like,
Starting point is 00:38:46 I'm ready to choke him out. He kept that same motto. Strike first strike hard no mercy But I He just he started to see the wrong in in those training So I thought that was really good and that was kind of a shocker that seeing him do that first when I first heard of this show I thought he was still gonna be That the asshole and I want to get revenge on Daniel Rousseau
Starting point is 00:39:15 That's not that that wasn't the case in this one Yeah, Johnny is definitely my I'm also team Johnny. I feel like he learns from his mistakes. And I mean, at times it takes a little, it takes a little while, but he eventually sees,
Starting point is 00:39:34 you know, his errors. Daniel, it kind of seems like he always needs Miyagi in some way to figure out his problems. Like he, I don't know. He's, as you said, he's still kind of fucking whiny.
Starting point is 00:39:49 And I'm like, you got the fucking life right. now you got the wife the family the business is a nice home and constantly needing somebody else to fix your problems and definitely not team uh team daniel and fucking sam like i said sam is the fucking villain every season she's always caused some kind of problem other than she's hooking up with every dude that says hi to her but i don't know she was getting on my
Starting point is 00:40:22 She was, yeah, she was a little whiny bitch Just like her dad I mean, I was like, oh, she just got on my name. And now, not once did I feel sorry for her ever in these three seasons? No, and they did the fucking thing in Season three that they did in Cobra, or Karate Kid 3 Where Daniel just fought for his life in the second movie
Starting point is 00:40:46 And yet he's scared to fight, uh, Mike Barnes. in this one and uh cobra kai she in that that fight at the high school at the end of season two she she wins the fight but yet she has PTSD in the season three that's the only my only nitpick with that one i i didn't get it yeah i mean
Starting point is 00:41:11 she was all thinking she was big and bad and everything but then i mean yeah she won that fight uh at the end of the of the second season in the high go which was to me the fucking an awesome fight scene yes it wasn't them when they were really doing the really difficult moves but I liked
Starting point is 00:41:31 how they filmed that like you see Sam and Tori when you can see their faces kicking ass but when they got thrown to out of the shot they hurry up and switch the character or switch the actor with a snuck double and everything I loved
Starting point is 00:41:47 how they did that but yeah Samantha just got on my fucking man I was like us I mean yeah she got some scars to remind her of the fight Tori just she didn't give a fuck
Starting point is 00:42:01 um okay really quick I mean jump into season three I mean everybody got in trouble that was fighting um Robbie just fucked himself up by running from from the scene uh
Starting point is 00:42:17 why did Tori get so well I guess because she pulled out, she had the little spiky bracelet and used that as a weapon. So that's probably why she got probation. Yeah, she also initiated everything because it sounded like she might have assaulted the person that was doing the intercoms when she took the microphone. So yeah, I think she started it from the beginning. But, I mean, she wouldn't have done what she'd done if it wasn't for Samantha,
Starting point is 00:42:48 hooking up. Because Samantha was hooking up with Miguel. and then I remember she looked out the window or something at that party and saw Sam kissing Miguel. She was drunk. And Miguel, he wasn't expecting that. Yeah, fucking Sam, how dare you use Miyagi dough to regain your focus in a drinking game? Using it for the wrong purposes. man I mean she just she's a flat out villain period in this whole thing
Starting point is 00:43:28 but oh my god I mean I felt so I felt sorry for Tori but again yeah she she did what she did but um they in the season three they were more of just she would they were to Corricay was trying to get revenge for what Robbie did to Miguel, kicking him off that balcony or that second floor and hitting his back on the handrail, which shout out to the actor played Miguel. I mean, they rigged him up to the ropes and everything, and then he actually did that stunt, but I'm sure it was slow. But yeah, because Miguel, he went into a coma for, I don't really remember how long, but he jacked up his back and everything. and Robbie took off. But everyone else, I don't think anyone got suspended. Well, they probably did get suspended, but everyone was let back at school.
Starting point is 00:44:23 I mean, but Tori, she got, she got kicked out. Robbie, well, I'm sure he got kicked out as well. But I guess everyone just got slapped on the hand. And I think, did they say Aisha? They took her out of the school and took her somewhere else because of what happened. Yeah, because of the violence that has taken place of the two dojoes. Her parents sent her to boarding school. Well, I hope she comes back the fourth season.
Starting point is 00:44:55 I mean, I liked her character. I liked how she, when she was the shy little shy young girl in the first season to where she was like, no, fuck this. I'm, I'm going to, I'm going to fight back, fight, defend myself, basically. I mean, pretty much all the Cobra Chi's in the first season, they were defending themselves from what was happening to them. So, yeah, Johnny trained him the way he was thought, but you can see that these weren't little kids that just wanted to learn how to fight and use it as weapons all the time. And they were still kind of fighting the bullies and everything. Hawk, man, he just went full full on Cobra Kai,
Starting point is 00:45:42 everything. He bought into all of it. But he's still badass. I don't care what anyone says. So, so the first season was to get to know everyone and the lead up to the thing. Second season, what, see, I don't remember how that one went
Starting point is 00:46:02 on what they were doing. Other than Johnny was still dealing with Daniel and Samantha was trying to didn't know who she wanted Miguel or Robbie and what was
Starting point is 00:46:17 were they still okay John Crease was in in this one and he was kind of like just the the guy in the background watching the students
Starting point is 00:46:30 watching Johnny train all these guys and then I think that's when he slowly took over because at the end of that season we do see that basically Johnny was I don't think he was gonna
Starting point is 00:46:46 quit Cobra Kai until he got there and realized that all the students that were involved in that fight were with John Crease now because Johnny was kind of even trying to tell look man don't listen to this guy he's and fuck your life up like he did mine but all those kids even Hawk man
Starting point is 00:47:07 they all they were ready to beat up Johnny because he tried to step to John Crease and they all got in the way. I was like, whoa. I mean, that was kind of a shocker. And, but I think the biggest shocker to me as a fan of everything, except for that last film, the lead up to Allie. Because she's mentioned and they show her just flashbacks.
Starting point is 00:47:34 And we do find out she's married and she lives in Colorado. And I think she's a doctor or something like that. I can't remember. but the lead up to that and the to where Miguel kind of gets Johnny into Facebook but he because he
Starting point is 00:47:50 Johnny's not tech savvy. He doesn't know anything about the internet or social media or nothing. I mean luckily these young kids came along and helped him basically just trying to promote Cobra Kai but when I love
Starting point is 00:48:06 the stories that Johnny was telling Miguel about his life on on how he explained it to Daniel. Like, yeah, man, I was just trying to get back with my girl. And this fool came into my life and fucked everything up. In a way, yes. I mean, we've talked about this in the first. We talked about the first film.
Starting point is 00:48:25 But it was good. Like seeing it in Johnny's eyes on how he saw it all. And again, I'm going to lead more with Johnny. I like that. The tease that, okay, yeah, Allie, and then the friend requested her. No, he did he friend request or a messenger? He a friend requested her, but I think it was by accident. I think somebody had knocked into him and he hit the button.
Starting point is 00:48:57 Oh, yeah, that's right. Because at the end of the second, after the big fight and after John Crease took over Cobra Kai, his phone kept blowing up constantly. and he was just kind of getting tired of it. He just got mad and threw his phone. But when the camera goes to the phone, we see it and then it said, Allie, whatever her last name, accepted.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Shwarmer. Friend request. And that blew my mind. I was like, oh, but then it was over. I was like, shit. And we had to wait a whole year. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:49:32 I just, I couldn't believe it. Because then I was thinking, I mean, she um elizabeth shu she's i think out of the main three she's probably the biggest i mean with her career i mean she still did movies and she still uh had hit tv shows and i know she was on the boys and i wasn't sure if she was going to do it because i seen many interviews where people are asking you have you watched cobra kai and are you going to be a part of that show and she said she did she goes yeah i watch it i thought it was really good seeing my friends
Starting point is 00:50:07 continue the story but she kept saying no no i'm i'm too busy doing this and no no of course that's what she had to say to to to the build up that she was going to come back so i mean i was excited that when we finally saw her in season five that she was just a one epic throughout the whole season because i figured that if she would have came in uh we we do found out that she she was divorced or separated and seemed like she was getting ready to give it up to Johnny again, but Johnny had already hooked up with
Starting point is 00:50:42 Miguel's mom, so Yeah, we didn't even talk about that. But, man, Johnny could have did both, man. I mean, he wasn't married. Yeah, but he can't do a student like that.
Starting point is 00:50:56 That's me, everyone. Don't tell him. Sorry, ladies, but I'm not like that. It's just a character for the show. But anyway, it was good. I loved her. I mean, I've said this before, man.
Starting point is 00:51:12 She just got hotter with age. So I was all about it. Oh, well, yeah. In the third season, Robbie was, like you said, he was on the run. And he turned into a little whiny asshole for PTSD, dealing with Tori and not who she wanted. Does she want Robbie or does she want Miguel? I don't know what her problem is. I did like the, we got to see Chosen as well as Kumiko.
Starting point is 00:51:52 I think that was in the second. I loved those two episodes. I mean, those were the two. When the trailer for the third season finally dropped and they showed those two, I was, my mind blew. I was like, what? I couldn't wait. I mean, because when this season three dropped at midnight, January 1st, I was right there.
Starting point is 00:52:23 I mean, I'll click. I couldn't wait. I had to see what was going on. what the had to see it was happening I think everybody was I think everybody
Starting point is 00:52:39 binged us that first day of course except for Lance he didn't binge it but I could I think
Starting point is 00:52:48 I mainly wanted to see Chosen and Comico come back I mean she aged beautifully with age
Starting point is 00:52:56 she's still a beautiful woman chosen I mean he's losing his hair and like we all are but he
Starting point is 00:53:05 he was badass I liked what what happened there because I mean we said I said in the second film they filmed it all in Hawaii they actually went to Japan to film
Starting point is 00:53:17 uh this these scenes so I liked all of that as well as catching up with Kumiko on how her um what was her aunt's name um
Starting point is 00:53:33 uh Yukiya. Yuki, yeah, how she got sick and she passed. And I loved how that Yuki and Miyagi still kept in touch by writing letters. That scene when Kumiko and Daniel were hanging out, because she asked Daniel, why did you come back? And he was like, well, my business, because he was having issues with his business. in the third season because he was losing his sales
Starting point is 00:54:06 and he was getting ready to lose his business partner with the doyona or whatever that Japanese car company was and it did have to do with the whole blowout at the high school
Starting point is 00:54:17 at the end of the second season everybody was blaming karate and they knew the Miyagi Doe and the Cobur Kai were all involved so I think he was just trying to fix his business so that was why he went to Japan
Starting point is 00:54:30 and he actually saw a commercial for come to Okinawa and see that. So I think that's, he went there. But when Kumiko asked him, why did you come here? Oh, for my business. She goes, no, why did you come here to Okinawa? And that's when he said was to see if he can get some kind of, I think mainly you get some balance with his life to go back to where he would,
Starting point is 00:55:03 go back to where his sense and Mr. Yomiyagi was from. I like that. And he was, I mean, I loved when they first saw each other. He was walking. He went to Tommy Village and we saw how it was in the second movie, but in this one,
Starting point is 00:55:20 they turned it into a mall. I was kind of like, oh, man. But we find out, Sato turned the village into this big mall. we do find out that everybody that lived in the village, other than it brought all kinds of jobs for everyone, everyone did good. Everybody was down for it,
Starting point is 00:55:43 and they all wanted it to make up their neighborhood or whatever better. So I was like, all right, cool. I mean, it wasn't like Sato turned into the asshole again and ran everybody out. So I liked that. The explanation was all from Kumiko. But when Daniel was saying,
Starting point is 00:56:03 just kind of wanted to see Miyagi again. And she goes, well, I can do that. And that's when she was reading all the letters. That part got me. That last letter he wrote before he died when he was talking about Daniel, he was, Daniel was, he treated him like his son. And he loved that Samantha thought Miyagi thought of him as Miyagi as her grandfather. I mean, I
Starting point is 00:56:33 watched that scene a few times I mean, the first time I saw it, I was, tears were rolling down my eyes and watching it again with my wife, tears were pouring down my eyes. I mean, but that was, that was strong.
Starting point is 00:56:45 I mean, for the character, Miyagi was, I mean, especially if you're a fan of these films, I mean, it was, it was touching and it was good because we did,
Starting point is 00:56:58 we did know that Miyagi lost his wife. and his child due to childbirth. So he never had kids or ever married again. And then Daniel came along. So I really loved that bond that they had. And it was good for Daniel to hear that. And I think how I took that scene is Daniel was losing his balance.
Starting point is 00:57:24 He just didn't know he was arguing with his daughter and everything, because of everything that happened. His business was going down the shit. Well, not really going down, but just business wasn't good anymore. But he went there to, I think he mainly went there to get some balance with his life. And it worked.
Starting point is 00:57:48 So I thought that was cool. Yeah. But bringing in Chosen. When we see him in the trailer, I was like, oh, my God. he's he's gonna want revenge on Daniel but we find out that he him and Kumiko was they
Starting point is 00:58:09 hash things out because when we see him at that at the end of that episode when he goes to Okinawa they're sitting there in that little restaurant and then you hear did he did he say he's a Daniel son and then we he
Starting point is 00:58:29 looks over and chosen is standing and he'll be giving him like one of the hardest looks and I immediately clicked for the next episode so but we find out that
Starting point is 00:58:45 I mean other than Daniel was like why is he here? And she goes oh that's chosen isn't who you were because he was like he was going to kill you and he was going to kill me why are you guys friends now and he goes no he's different that's not how he is. That's not how he
Starting point is 00:58:59 is. I mean, I loved how she just didn't. I mean, I guess they obviously made up and we never saw that, but how she was just like, no, man, he's a good guy now, man. You guys be friends. And Daniel was just totally in an awkward situation because Chosen was just still staring him down. Like, I mean, that first time watching it, I didn't know what was happening or what was going to happen. but I think once we find out that Daniel and Chosen when they go
Starting point is 00:59:37 because she goes hey Chosen is going to show you around so he took him to his dojo the actual Miyagi dough I guess the original one and we see that
Starting point is 00:59:52 I mean Daniel's still kind of scared and still kind of shocked to end puzzle on what what's happening. Why is he still, why is he hanging out with Chosen? And then he does, I love that,
Starting point is 01:00:09 that whole scene with them because he was telling him about some things. And when it came to the sacred scrolls of Miyagi Doe, I thought that was really cool. But when they, when I guess chosen, challenged him, but not, not really.
Starting point is 01:00:31 Because he wanted to, he said he wanted to know. Chosen wanted to know why. I want to know how much you know. Because, I mean, Daniel did say he knew the whole story of how karate came to Okinawa because we heard that story in the second film. So I like that and how Daniel told Chosen and Chosen was like, your sense they told you that? And he goes, yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:56 And that's when he goes, all right, well, I want to know everything that he showed you. That's when they gied up and they were going into fights. All right. Here's a question. Do you think Chosen could have killed him if he had that opportunity? Or he did have the opportunity, but do you think if he was still mad and angry, do you think he would have killed him?
Starting point is 01:01:17 At this point when they met, 100%. Yes, he would have murdered Daniel and disposed of the body and nobody would ever know. What, all right, this is, this is, this is how I took it. Yes, Chosen could have killed him. And, uh, he didn't, he didn't, he, he lost his balance in the second film, Chosen. That's why he lost that fight. I mean, Daniel was more centered and, I mean, other than Miyagi was right there. He didn't have this hatred built it up into him.
Starting point is 01:01:59 Yeah, he was scared, but he was balanced. Because, I mean, if you listen to this, I mean, Miyagi says it. I mean, it's about balance. You've got to have balance to live your life, to train and everything. So Chosen was just full of hate on what his uncle, Sato, was pumping into him. But Sato finally realized that they goes, look, man, hate is wrong. What I'm doing, how I felt for Miyagi was wrong. but Chosen was still so, so lost and full of hatred.
Starting point is 01:02:35 He had no balance. That was the reason why he lost that, that first fight. And this one, Daniel was losing his balance because he was his home life, his business and everything. His balance was lost. And I think that's why he just wasn't there. Yeah, he still had the moves and everything. And it was cool. I did like that
Starting point is 01:03:00 Miyagi trained Daniel had a fight with a staff or stick because in the second film Chosen As you goes, your sense a teacher had a fight with a spear and he's like no So when we see them actually going at it with the sticks and everything I thought that was awesome
Starting point is 01:03:21 I mean that whole montage of them fighting I thought was good because when Chosen was doing other moves and Daniel was like, that's, that's not me, Aguio, it goes, that's, that's not defense. And I love the story that shows and told him, like,
Starting point is 01:03:36 well, it always isn't just about defense. You've got to learn how to kill as well, because they said when the, uh, the enemies, the Japanese enemies came in, they, they had the fight. And of course, they had to kill if they had to. So, uh, I loved
Starting point is 01:03:52 how his, his explanation for some of the moves he was doing. And that that, that, not death. touch, but that whatever he did, I think he called the, the Miyagi pressure points or whatever. I think so.
Starting point is 01:04:07 I thought that was awesome. That was, that was sweet because he, he did something to Daniel's arm and it just went numb. Live or die, man. I have waited a long time for this.
Starting point is 01:04:25 Chosen. No. Hog. And he was, he tried to swing with the other. He did it to that arm and that's when he grabbed the back of his neck. I had to wait for this for a long time. I was like, oh, the first watch, dude, I was like, what's going to happen? What's he doing?
Starting point is 01:04:52 I mean, because he, oh, he brought that fistbag. And Daniel was like, nothing I can do. He couldn't even move his arms. Then he brought it down. Honk. I was like, ugh. But, I mean, it was cool because Chosen just really. started laughing, but I think that scene in the third season was my favorite other than he.
Starting point is 01:05:18 He found his way. He found on, because he said he just, chosen said he just was lost after that fight and everything. But it was good that he, that chosen hooked up again with his uncle and, and, and, and Sato forgave him for what he did, for being dishonored. He got his honor back with his uncle, with his sense. So I thought that was really good. And then he also kept training him some more. So I thought that was really good.
Starting point is 01:05:55 I mean, yes, we lost both of the actors, Sato as well as Miyagi. But it was cool that Chosen just found his way back. Got his honor back. and he got back on the right path or a different path really because he was full of hate and then he realized it was wrong and everything so I thought that was really good
Starting point is 01:06:20 that was a good explanation on what happened to him because we didn't know they never went back to Okinawa and we never knew what happened to him so I really loved it they only gave him two episodes but that was enough that was a good a good story for them
Starting point is 01:06:37 for us to find out what happened to him. I mean, that's what I like a lot about this show. Yeah, that episodes are only a half hour, but they pack as much as they can in it, and it does have good points to us. So, I mean, with these characters that popped in because we did get the Cobra Kai. I mean, no love for Lamar or Dutch,
Starting point is 01:06:58 because I guess Dutch was in prison. But we did get Tommy. We did get Bobby and what was the head of the class guy's name? Jimmy yeah Jimmy it was good that they they came in that was the second season
Starting point is 01:07:14 wasn't it or yeah second you get Bobby in third season three that's right he came back I mean that was cool too I mean it was good to see him
Starting point is 01:07:27 pop back up in there Johnny still just messed up from everything and he was all faded and went into church but Yeah, but again, with those two episodes in Okinawa, I thought were amazing. The backstory for John Crease was awesome. And we did finally, we saw also backstory of Terry Silver from the third film.
Starting point is 01:07:55 Did you think the dude with the ponytail and slick hair was Terry Silver at first? Yeah. That guy looked like a young Terry Silver. Yeah, I thought that was him Until he got killed And then I'm like, okay, well, that ain't him I mean, we didn't mean the The other dude that was budding around with Creece
Starting point is 01:08:17 When he was in Vietnam They never said his name They had a nickname for him I think they call him like Slim or something like I can't remember but When there Was he a captain The one that was training him all?
Starting point is 01:08:33 Yeah, I think He's the one that said silver and then he looked and then I went I was like oh man I mean and then because in the third film Terry
Starting point is 01:08:47 silver I mean why he was friends with John he was like man you you because the crease was like yeah man I owe you and he goes you don't owe me nothing he goes you saved my ass hell of times so obviously and we got to see it in the flashbacks
Starting point is 01:09:03 from there Vietnam where where Creeze did save Terry Silver. So I thought that was good explanations on two, other than the backstory of both of them when they were in the war. Because when the third season ends up, yeah, I'm Yagido and Eagle Fang Karate, which Johnny started up because he, Creeze took over Cobra Kai.
Starting point is 01:09:29 I mean, Chris isn't a dumb man. He, he, he died of the eyes. and crossed the lorke the tease and everything on his situation because of course yes Daniel was still mad as well as his wife came into play because she went to John crease and tried to tell him to back off and she slapped him so he got her strain in order on her but they we see that they're going to team up for for the fourth season eagle fang and Miyagi though which I think is awesome Now, they did show flashbacks to season three.
Starting point is 01:10:10 They showed Mike Barnes. We know we're getting Terry Silver in the next season. Is it going to be the same actor? I don't know. I hope so. I'm sure Netflix will throw a check in here, man. Just come back for a couple episodes. So I hope.
Starting point is 01:10:29 What was his name? I can't remember the actor's name. Valic. Thomas Ian. Griffith. Because at the end of season three, Crease is on the phone. He calls him out, like, yeah, man,
Starting point is 01:10:45 I need you. And I, he goes, I just went, oh, my God. I've said this before we saw season three. I said, I wanted Terry Silver to come back. And we're getting that. I think we're going to get my, Mike Barnes.
Starting point is 01:11:08 I think what, go ahead. How mad are you going to be when you find out it was not Terry Silver on the phone, but it was Snake. That better not be. But if he pops in, I'll be mad,
Starting point is 01:11:29 but I'll be like, all right. You know it. Snake. We got too many assholes in the show. I don't need another one. But I think Mike Barnes is coming back because if, yeah, because Miyagi-do and Eagle Fan karate are teaming up.
Starting point is 01:11:54 So they got at least 15 to 20 deep. And Cobra Kai had, what, a handful plus the Kyler and his gang. and he's bringing Terry, they're bringing Terry Silver in. I think they're going to need, maybe they'll get more soldiers or Terry can come in to help. Because Terry Silver's mad still.
Starting point is 01:12:22 He's mad at Daniel. Maybe they'll fight and Johnny will fight John Crease. But I still think that they need more firepower. So my fingers are crossed that Mike Barnes comes back. Yeah, because I want to see Barnes and Johnny go at it. Yeah, and I think there's still, I mean, okay, you got three fighters, the grownups. You got Terry Silver, you got John Crease, and if Mike Barnes comes back, that's three. This is just me thinking and what I want.
Starting point is 01:12:57 If those three are going to fight, it will still be not a fair mass. those three can take probably Johnny and Daniel quick. I have a feeling that Daniel's going to fly chosen in. And if he does, oh my God, I'm just going to, that's what I want. You know who it's going to be, though. A little movie that we didn't like in the series, that person's going to come.
Starting point is 01:13:32 If she does, all right. but she has no connection to well other than Miyagi but I mean Daniel doesn't know about her and she we don't know that though Daniel I'm going by what we saw in the movie he mentioned Daniel yes but I don't know man
Starting point is 01:13:59 she's how would Daniel know her I'm gonna call it right here she met him at Miyagi's funeral and they explained how they knew how they knew Miyagi, boom, kept a relationship ever since. She's coming in as she's the hired gun coming in. It won't be chosen. No, man. If that happens, all right.
Starting point is 01:14:30 I can see that. Yeah, they met at the funeral. Okay. I can, I can see that and I can accept it. But as far as skill, unless she just kept on training, I mean, Miyagi went back to California and she stayed in Boston. So, and I'm sure they kept in some contact. But I don't know. Did she keep training on what she learned or did she go back and see the monks?
Starting point is 01:14:59 I don't know. Yes. To all that, she's coming back and she's bringing, she bringing Angel the Hawk with her. As long as she doesn't bring that dumbass dude that she ended up hooking up with, Aaron or whatever. He's coming to. Whatever the, I'd rather have those other dudes,
Starting point is 01:15:22 the alpha elite or whatever they were called. I'd rather have them come in. They're coming to. No. Michael. Again, if she comes into this, all right, you better give me a damn, Well, good explanation on why, but I want more chosen. I mean, he can come in.
Starting point is 01:15:45 And I have a feeling that because at the end of their little, their little battle when Daniel was like, what happened? What did you do to me? He goes, I couldn't move. And he said, that's Miyagi's secret pressure points. And then he goes, can you teach me? And Chosen did see, gave him the nod like, yes, I will. So I want to see Daniel.
Starting point is 01:16:08 that at some point maybe he does it to Terry Silver maybe he does it to John Crease but I don't know he's got to do it the next season so and I'm sure Chosen showed him more stuff because Daniel only knew what Miyagi taught him
Starting point is 01:16:23 and Sato we clearly saw taught Chosen more everything that Miyagi knew as well as more so I think if they bring Chosen in man I'm it's going to blow my mind.
Starting point is 01:16:40 And I'm all on board for that. I want to see more of him. And I want to see him fucking run through whoever comes at him. It'd be at John Creas and Terry Silver and hopefully Mike Barnes. But I don't know. I mean, are we getting it next year? Or are we going to get it to the end of this year?
Starting point is 01:17:04 I don't know. Did they film the third season during, all this or was it done already? Most of it was done. And from what I understand, I think they just started season four. Okay. So, they're obviously
Starting point is 01:17:22 working safely, so but I don't know. I mean, I know that they're not filming it in California. They're filming it, um, Atlanta or something. I can't remember where they said they filmed it, but somewhere
Starting point is 01:17:39 over that direction. I don't know, man. I'm, uh, Kumag. It's okay. I'm looking at the, the, the, the IMDB. It says, uh, Tamilin, Tomita Kumiko says she was in four episodes. I'm like, uh, they must, must be doing more because it says 2018 and 2021. Okay. So that's obviously this season, it's, uh, maybe.
Starting point is 01:18:12 If you said they're filming now, is she gonna be in it? Where's chosen at? Is he, what does his say? It says three episodes. He was only in two. The end of that first one in Okinawa
Starting point is 01:18:38 and then him in the second. Could be coming back. I hope so. I need him to come back at kick ass, so we'll see. What was that one little Asian guy's name? The one that was fighting Bert. They never said his name. They always said Bert's name, but they never said his name.
Starting point is 01:19:12 Yeah, they did that little Asian guy dirty, man, because they were, all right, this part, even my wife said it. In the third season, I mean, Miguel's still in the hospital, and they were trying to raise money for his surgery. And you got all these little high school girls out there in bikinis washing cars. And I'm just like, my wife was like, did they really need to show that? And I'm like, no, but. And I was thinking, man, that's, these are little girls out there.
Starting point is 01:19:45 And you're going to get like every pervert in that area to come get their car wash. I felt a little uncomfortable with all the match. His name was Nathaniel. All right. What was his real name? Nathaniel O. Yeah, just uses his name. All right, cool.
Starting point is 01:20:08 Him, man. Yeah, at that car wash, he was, I don't know why they left him there by himself with all the money. Because that's when a hawk and one of the, fat guy that was rolling with them. They beat up Nathaniel and took all the money. And when they Nathaniel and the rest of them showed up
Starting point is 01:20:27 at Samantha's house, Daniel's house. He came in and they said, man, they stole all the money, who? And then they were like the cobra kies. And then Nathaniel came. Yeah, they came in. They beat the fuck out of me. I was like, they did. He was all
Starting point is 01:20:43 roughed up, blood covered out of his mouth. And I'm like, all right. From that car wash to the house, you couldn't have took a napkin and wiped that shit off your face. But, all right, whatever. He's got to settle the injuries. But everything in the third season was good. Other than the Japan episodes, I mean, we see that Samantha's scared of Tori. Robbie's still on the run, and then he ends up getting caught.
Starting point is 01:21:12 and he has to go to juvenile detention center. What did you think of all that? Of the three, the black guy in Mexican, and I think it was a white dude, bullying and Robbie around while he was locked up. What did you think of all that? I like the whole situation because it kind of let Robbie know.
Starting point is 01:21:38 I think it kind of toughened him up because right before he went in, he was kind of whining and bitchy like Daniel. And he went in and he was just kind of, he was getting bullied and then the disappointment of his dad not showing up when he was supposed to and then talking to Crease, because this is when Crease was planting the seeds for him to join. And I kind of respect Robbie because sometimes that's what you got to do.
Starting point is 01:22:06 You got to go after the biggest one, the biggest baddest and jump kick him in the face. he didn't he wasn't no rat either because after that big fight they had they uh obviously had them uh interrogated or whatever you call it and then when they they left the black guy join kover kai he said the black guy goes man he goes how come you didn't snitch and he goes and no he goes how come you didn't say anything was i ain't no snitch anyone all right so um If they join, cool. It would be good to see them again.
Starting point is 01:22:45 Because that was a big dude, the black guy he was fighting with. He wasn't known to. No, man. He was a man. Isn't that? So, yeah, Robbie was there, but then he got out. And obviously, some, I know he wasn't in the juvenile hall or whatever that was for days. because he ran from the crime scene
Starting point is 01:23:14 and they were looking for him. So obviously I would say he was in there for a few months, a month at the least. But because when he got out, he was still, he didn't want nothing to do with his dad. He didn't want nothing to do with Daniel. But he was still all about Samantha. But then he comes in.
Starting point is 01:23:38 We see Miguel and Samantha starting to, get close again and then you gotta get in the way man these two dudes and now they don't want to fight each other I think that was probably the last thing that did it to make him go
Starting point is 01:23:53 to uh made made Robbie go to to Cobra Kai and John Crease oh but um we see the we're starting to see the turning to see the turning point in Hawk
Starting point is 01:24:07 on how he's seeing, I guess he's starting to get a conscience to where he's not, he's still badass, but he's not seeing the way John Crease wants him to see. He's starting to see because he
Starting point is 01:24:22 ended up breaking Dimitri's arm in this one. Did he just twist his arm the other way or did he end up socking him and broke it? He did the
Starting point is 01:24:39 the Shana Bay where he set the arm up and then I think stomped it. Oh, that's right. Shane of Bazelor. I don't care what anyone says. I like her. I see the Queen of Spades. Is that what I say?
Starting point is 01:24:56 But I love everything that that that was going on. And like I said, we see the turning of Hawk. I think he, I don't know if he's going to join. Most likely he'll join. Eagle Fang. I don't know if he'll go quite to Miyagi, but Miyagi, though, but I mean, this,
Starting point is 01:25:17 obviously they're getting their, their crews together for a final battle. I don't know if the fourth season is going to be it. I'm hoping they go a few more seasons because I think they're hitting out of the park with this show. Now
Starting point is 01:25:34 they got Netflix money. We'll see on what's what's happening so um but uh other than um everybody in this i mean of course there's tons of characters but i mean they're mainly focusing that this last season they were mainly mainly focusing on miguel and sam um everyone else still pops in when they can I think this I mean other than Johnny
Starting point is 01:26:09 helping Miguel get his strength back in his legs I thought all that was pretty cool Oh Oh, other than the, they had that big town hall meeting or whatever when they were saying that they didn't want, because of the incident that happened in the, at the high school, they didn't want them to have the all valley turner in anymore. Because it was too violent and it's making all these kids violent and everything. but that got turned around because they came in Johnny and Daniel and Greece made them
Starting point is 01:26:54 or basically sold it to them to they should have it. I like the shit the parents were yelling it from the back while they were talking. I heard the girl was messing with both boys. Yeah. I heard when Daniel was saying, yeah, this guy is
Starting point is 01:27:16 was bullying me around. And then what's over? I heard you were the bully. So I thought that was cool. I mean, I loved all that. But the, the character building for all the young,
Starting point is 01:27:32 for all the young kids in this, I mean, I like what's going on. Dimitri again, he was still the same old way. Yeah, he kicked a hawk into that glass case and that fight. I mean,
Starting point is 01:27:47 that fight at the end of the second season was the choreography for that was awesome especially for all these little young actors that did it as well as their stunt doubles I mean I thought they they did a really good job I mean they didn't just focus on Miguel fighting Robbie they didn't just focus on
Starting point is 01:28:05 Samantha fighting with Tori it went all over the place everybody got their time to shine during that fight was Aisha fighting In that last episode? Season two?
Starting point is 01:28:24 Yeah. She pretty sure it was. She got a punch in there. That's right. Oh, we forgot to bring out a, what's his name? Richard Jewel. Stingray. We forgot to mention him.
Starting point is 01:28:39 He didn't come back in season three. Apparently he. Go ahead. They mentioned him. They mentioned him, but I don't. remember why why he wasn't there he he he can only come a certain distance from the school because he was involved in the fight he was even in there kicking ass beating up kids stingray um i forgot he was in this i mean i after i saw richard jule which was an awesome film
Starting point is 01:29:14 you guys haven't seen it but and then re-watching season two again. I was like, oh, fuck yeah, man. I mean, I forgot he was in this. So good then he's still out there. If he comes back for season four, man, cool, right on. But again, that whole fight scene in the high school was awesome. It was just everybody going at it. And, well, I guess I was like, every time fights broke out of school, I was like, well, teachers came out of nowhere. I mean, there was like, was there no teachers working that day but that one did come in
Starting point is 01:29:52 and he was basically what I'm not getting paid to do that and he got the hell out of there because they were fighting and everything but what did you think about the season three fight at Daniel's house it was awesome
Starting point is 01:30:10 and they just trashed his house I was like man I mean it's still bad blood between Tori and Samantha I kind of have a feeling they're going to end up being friends as the season to go on but I like
Starting point is 01:30:30 they they just fucking they the cobra Kai just showed up and they just started kicking ass again I mean they got into an earlier fight when Demetri got his arm broken when they were fighting in that laser tag place
Starting point is 01:30:43 because yeah cobra kies they would be hawking them were being assholes from Chris I believe his name is the older or the tall black guy that was part of a cobra Kai well excuse me
Starting point is 01:31:01 because they were coming in a hawking them were messing with him at his job and he ended up calling Samantha said yeah there's uh they're down here causing some shit so Samantha was like fuck that now it's time to get him she thought she was badass going down there and want to take out hawking them but then
Starting point is 01:31:20 Tori showed up that's when she just froze and when it curled into a little ball because she could have helped save Dimitri or at least stopped them but she was she was too scared to move and uh that's when hawk broke demetri's on but uh Tori I think she's just built up uh with anger for Samantha other than she's still tried to steal her man so we see that going on but I do see them being friends eventually
Starting point is 01:31:51 a shout out to me I hated Dimitri but I'll give it to him and ended up hooking up with Yasmin yeah he did no Moon hooked up with Hawk didn't she?
Starting point is 01:32:09 Yeah no yeah okay and at first she was with Hawk and then she broke up with him and I guess was with a girl by the end of season two. Oh, I don't remember that. Yeah, it was at the party. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:32:29 A hawk went to go talk to the one girl, and then Moon came in and put her arm around her and was like, oh, you haven't met my girlfriend yet, have you? What? Dimitri, all right, man. He was already in love because they was making out Yasmin or whatever her name is. I liked how Miguel and Sam rolled around the corner and just saw them staring at him. It was a little fucked up.
Starting point is 01:32:56 He asked me. He was like, what are you doing? Don't talk to me and walked away from him. And I thought DiMicho was going to be all heartbroken. He didn't give a fuck. He was like, man, I think I'm in love. I mean, good for him, man.
Starting point is 01:33:10 He was getting his. Hopefully he gets more in the next season. But, oh, man. Yeah, we bounced all over the place, but these three seasons are amazing. It's an amazing show. Can't wait for season four. Hopefully they finish filming and we get it at the end of this year. I think we will.
Starting point is 01:33:37 If you listen to our East Society's episode, when we're talking about our best top five or top five. Yeah, top five TV shows. 2018 and 2019, Cobra Kai was my number one show. We didn't get it for 2020, so obviously Mandalorian slipped right in there in the number one spot.
Starting point is 01:34:01 But I made the announcement on the show when we recorded it, that Cobra Kai is going to be my number one show for 2021, because I don't see anything topping this out. I know we're getting the book of Bobaf, that, of course that'll be on my list, but I don't know. Yeah, Star Wars been in my life longer than Karate Kid, but I love this show, man. I haven't been hyped for this type of show since,
Starting point is 01:34:32 hmm, lost, I would say. I mean, there's been a ton of shows, but I was really deep in the lost. Except for that last season, it just fell apart. But, I mean, but for this show right now, for everything that I watch, watch that's on. I mean, again, there's tons of good television shows, but for this one, to basically come out of nowhere and just take over. I mean, I love that this, this series brings a lot of new viewers and new fans to this, to this franchise. They watch this, then they go back and watch the movies. So I love that. I mean, a lot of videos that I see when
Starting point is 01:35:17 they're talking to younger kids that are into this show. I mean, they didn't even know that those four movies existed. So now they said, yeah, we had to go back and watch those. So we found out what was happening. So, but I mean, this show is just amazing. I know there's people that don't like it, but I... Tell me their names. I'm on board.
Starting point is 01:35:41 You just go on Facebook, when they used to, especially on the Cobra Kai, when they were showing the first trailer for the third season. You just go into the comments and see, why are they still doing this show stupid? I'm like, obviously they watch both seasons, but I don't know, but that's just what the internet is for. We're bitching and complaining. I bitching and complain too,
Starting point is 01:36:07 if you guys listen to East Society and everything. I'm the one that complains the most about shit. But CobraC, Codd, man. Season 4, I can't wait. It can't get here any sooner, man. I'm just looking at the clock, looking at the calendar. I got I got to see it. I got to see Terry Silver and
Starting point is 01:36:31 it's got to be him, man. Don't give us someone else. It won't be the same. I know you said that he retired from acting, but Netflix has got that big money, that Netflix money. here, man, just show up for a few episodes. Here's
Starting point is 01:36:50 2,300,000 or whatever. I don't know what they're paying these people, but it's good to see that Will Smith because he was the producer for the remake.
Starting point is 01:37:08 Are we ever going to do that one? Way, way, way down the line. I don't have a problem with the movie it just it shouldn't have been called a karate kid because they do kung fu yeah I mean but shout out to
Starting point is 01:37:27 all those little uh those little guys in that little Asian guys because they those guys were the real deal in that one so I did like the fighting as far as chow dray or what's what's that kid's name
Starting point is 01:37:41 will smith son um uh uh, Jaden. Yeah, him. He's too old now. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:37:54 I mean, he's tall now, but, um, I don't know. I just leave that, leave that story alone and just continue with this. So,
Starting point is 01:38:04 but, um, hopefully he don't pop up in it. Who knows? Maybe Will Smith go, hey man, we should try to get him. It won't fit.
Starting point is 01:38:14 I mean, nobody knows him. So it'd be pointed It's not canon, so no. No. But we could be here all night, and we can turn this into a 10-hour show. But you got anything else before we get out of you? No, just each season gets phenomenally better, in my opinion,
Starting point is 01:38:38 they just give you exactly what you need. I'm looking forward to season four. Come on, Terry, silver, Mike Barnes, fucking bring Dennis and fucking snake, bring the whole gang and let's,
Starting point is 01:38:52 let's do this. What's her name? Next Karate Kid. I'm with you. If she shows up, okay, I'm fine with it, but do I want it?
Starting point is 01:39:04 Not really, but if she does, just make the reason good. If they need more firepower, okay. but I think they can do it to me if they bring in chosen if he comes flying in to California and for the showdown cool I mean I think I think he's more than enough he doesn't need that I don't think they would need anyone else because I think fighting style as I mean fighting skill I think chosen is above Daniel and Johnny because he got trained more from Sato so but I don't know we'll see season four
Starting point is 01:39:50 but yeah I mean we know Terry Silver's coming Mike Barnes is the one that we're not sure of I want him to be there they did show a flashback of him and at the beginning of the third season
Starting point is 01:40:06 so I don't know my fingers across hopefully he comes back I do follow that actor on Instagram and he's still out there doing it. So hopefully he does come into this. I don't see why they can't mean, they're bringing in everyone else.
Starting point is 01:40:24 I mean, if Elizabeth Shue came in as well as Tamlin Tomita and Chosen, I don't even want to try to say his own name. They brought the girl that was ringing the bell in the storm in part two. Was that the same actress?
Starting point is 01:40:44 I didn't even do it. Oh, it was. Oh, cool. Right on. Yeah, that was a shocker. Because at that end of that episode, when Daniel was getting ready to fly back home, we do find out that Daniel's business is better because the little girl he saved in the second film during that storm.
Starting point is 01:41:08 She is the, I guess, she's in charge of American sales for Doyona. or whatever that company is called over there. And it was cool. That was a good surprise for her to pop up because she goes, you don't remember me? And he was like, what? Then they show the flashback. I went, I was like, oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:41:30 I mean, I thought that was really good. So, I mean, the writers for the show, they're really doing their job, bringing in cameos and everything. So that was a good, a good little shocker. for this. If, okay, I'm looking, I'm looking at the cast. And like I said, if they needed more firepower for whatever reason, they could get Bobby and, what was the other kid? They got other guy's name?
Starting point is 01:42:03 Jimmy. Jimmy. I mean, they could bring those two in. I mean, Bobby still, he obviously still has it because he ended up sweeping the leg on, on Johnny when they were at the church. Yeah. Spring Dutch out of prison. Yeah, but he's probably mad. I'm sure he was kicking ass in jail somewhere,
Starting point is 01:42:25 but they could bring those two in again if they needed more muscle, but I don't know. Well, we'll see where it goes, and hopefully it gets here as soon as it can. This year, I know we're only, into the second month, but ah man, I can't wait for season four.
Starting point is 01:42:52 I mean, we, I know it's greenlit, but we know nothing of what's going on in it. So, I mean, obviously they're doing really good, keeping it under wraps. But I don't know. We'll see.
Starting point is 01:43:07 Because, I mean, I never even saw any photos online for season two or three. I mean, because usually, I mean, they're out filming in the streets. So it's not like someone can snap a shot really quick of something because, I don't know. We'll see. But Mike Barnes and Terry Silver, I mean, no Terry's coming, but Mike Barnes, my fingers are crossed that he comes back. All right.
Starting point is 01:43:36 So this is part of the show when you let the listeners know what you got coming. We're going to do our next episode for Wanda Vision. We're going to be covering episodes four and five. Speaking of that, five is up right now. Should I watch it before I go to bed? Maybe. I don't know. We'll see.
Starting point is 01:44:01 But that's coming as well as another regular episode of East Society. I think we're going to. Zizu's got more NBA stuff. I know the NBA is not going right now, but he really keeps up and all that. As far as his other reality shows that he does with his daughter, I'm not sure. I think they got one more Big Brother show coming.
Starting point is 01:44:28 I can't get into that show. He tried to get me into when I was at his house. That's all we watched. And I mean, I was like, okay, whatever. But I'm good. But yeah, E Society is coming. Wanda Vision episode is coming. And as far as that, I think that's all I know we got.
Starting point is 01:44:51 But go over to Skaterness Podcast Network. You can search that on Apple Podcasts or Google or Podbean is our host. Then shoot on over to Anchor and listen to everything we got on there. Dealing with the East Society. Just search either McNaz or E Society and it'll pop up. out to Taylor. We did drop a Blu-ray update talking about movies that
Starting point is 01:45:15 new Blu-rays we picked up. We usually wait until we got a pile before we do episodes. So I haven't even started a new pile yet. So I'm sure maybe end of the month we'll probably do another one. But as far as that, yeah, that's all we got coming.
Starting point is 01:45:34 What do we got coming on the horror returns? First new movie in shit, I think, since Bill and Ted faced the music, we are doing Neil Marshall's The Reckoning,
Starting point is 01:45:48 which drops February the 5th. So by the time you hear this, that movie should be out in possibly that episode. We still got stream fiends coming. The Little Things from HBO Max and
Starting point is 01:46:03 show announcement for the action returns, we are scaling back to one movie and episode. because we like to really get into these movies. And I know it might be a little long for listening. I appreciate everybody that does listen. But we're going to scale it back to one movie, a show. And the next show will be class of 1984.
Starting point is 01:46:36 Oh, man. I love that movie. Introduced it to Zisu, and he never even heard of it. Now he loves it. so, but cool. I'm all on board. But everyone, thank you so much for listening to, what episode is this?
Starting point is 01:46:51 I don't even know. This is episode, I want to say 27, maybe? Yeah, something like that. 27. Sounds good. It's 27. Yeah, episode 27, shit, 27 episodes.
Starting point is 01:47:03 Damn, Tim, felt like we just started doing this one. But, yeah, everyone listening to it. Thank you so much. Friends of my eyes that listen to our shows over on Skaternez, I always send them over to horror returns, and they start listening to everything there. So they love action as well as stream fiends. Nice.
