The epic finale of Cobra Kai Season 6 delivers emotional highs and devastating blows as long-standing rivalries and relationships take their final turns. Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka, The Karate Kid, Hot Tub Time Machine) and John Kreese (Martin Kove, Rambo: First Blood Part II, The Karate Kid) finally confront their past, leading to an emotional reconciliation as they break down in tears and make peace after decades of animosity. Meanwhile, the intense Sekai Taikai showdown takes a brutal turn as Axel Kovačević (Patrick Luwis, The Blacklist) faces off against Robby Keene (Tanner Buchanan, Designated Survivor, He's All That), delivering a devastating strike that breaks Robby's leg, causing him to lose the match in shocking fashion. With their dreams shattered, Miyagi-Do makes the heartbreaking decision to drop out of the tournament, paving the way for a major shift in the karate landscape. As the dust settles, Cobra Kai is back—this time under the leadership of Johnny, who is set to take the dojo in a new direction, with Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio, The Karate Kid, My Cousin Vinny) finally stepping up to train Johnny as a sensei, symbolizing the ultimate merging of philosophies. The main cast for Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 3 includes Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso, William Zabka as Johnny Lawrence, Courtney Henggeler as Amanda LaRusso, Xolo Maridueña as Miguel Diaz, Tanner Buchanan as Robby Keene, Mary Mouser as Samantha LaRusso, Jacob Bertrand as Eli "Hawk" Moskowitz, Gianni DeCenzo as Demetri Alexopoulos, Peyton List as Tory Nichols, Dallas Dupree Young as Kenny Payne, Vanessa Rubio as Carmen Diaz, Martin Kove as John Kreese, and Thomas Ian Griffith as Terry Silver.

Last time, I don't know who who wants to go first. I'll let you guys decide. Do you guys want to fight it out? No? Let's fight. I think Josh go first. All right. This was, yeah. What did you think of
Starting point is 00:02:34 the, oh, first of all, how do you feel? I want to know. I am I think John needed today is what I I think. I mean, you know, I think we all did. I guess so. I mean, like, you know, it's not like yeah, I haven't been in like a super fragile place today, but I feel like, yeah, it is it is kind of a nice
Starting point is 00:02:55 a particularly nice day to get some catharsis but too I feel like there's a certain amount of like unexpectedness that I think contribute like a lot of the times when I find myself the most move is in places where I wasn't quite expecting it and not even that Cobra Kai
Starting point is 00:03:14 has been moving many times and is a very heartfelt show in many ways but like to watch them now after especially the first two chunks of the season, which have been as they are, and we've trodden that ground well, to be here at the end and to see them really just throwing everything at the journeys of the characters, the arcs of the characters. And truly, like, I think there's a special magic that happens when you can feel the experience peeking through the curtain of the movie
Starting point is 00:03:44 magic, where it's like, a lot of these conversations are also people who have been in this little play together for so many years, you know, saying goodbye. and paying off the growth that they must have undergone as humans in making this and outside of all that. And so, like, you know, there's a lovely kind of swirl of nicely written drama and stuff that, yeah, goes back to the very beginning in ways that don't feel tacky and that really feel emotional and resonant and, you know, flavored by all this nuance. And so to feel the real palpable sense of emotion happening between the actors and the characters, equally is just a lovely
Starting point is 00:04:25 lovely thing and to see like it's like you know all these people have proven themselves especially like the veteran cast to be like really good solid actors but this was an episode where I feel like you really need the emotional punch to come with a
Starting point is 00:04:41 genuine feeling and everybody like really touched me in this episode you know when each of those moments where Daniel is struggling or Johnny is struggling or Crease is struggling and everybody's kind of checking in with what they are here for and why you just yeah like that that last scene between johnny increase is like a gorgeous acting moment between the two of them and uh it's really
Starting point is 00:05:05 cool to watch a show that is so fun and it has like oh this is like rocky four and this is like other things and it's got you know again martial arts and all that stuff and it has it's like i realized in the previous episode like in a way in a different flavor it's almost like they took Cobra Kai and applied like a helping of Archie to it in a way where you have this like quadrangle of Sam Miguel, Robbie and Torian and you know
Starting point is 00:05:31 these different other figures that fill out the school or dojo in this context you know that adds the fun and the color to this and it makes it you know justifiable in a way that's like not only 80s nostalgia it's now it's passing off a torch stylistically
Starting point is 00:05:47 while borrowing from the past but also yeah Just to see that real raw work on top of that, to see all the stuff stripped away and just the emotion and the growth and the themes really take hold. It's just so gratifying. It's inspiring. It's like you watch something like this and like, yes, it definitely moved me to tears a bunch of times. But also more than that, like it's really cool to see people nail something like that. And here at the end game where it's most important, you know, and granted there are two more episodes, blah, blah. But yeah, like this was like really just strong, lovely work in all facets.
Starting point is 00:06:21 and I appreciated it. I'm glad we got to share it. G. Yeah, I agree with everything John said. Yeah, I think this is a really, I feel like this last chunk. Part three. Thank you. I just wanted to clarify it for the audience.
Starting point is 00:06:38 The last five minutes of episode 13. Yeah, part three has, I think it feels like it's going to feel more substantial than part one and part two combined. honestly yeah i don't mean to just constantly like throw shade it it's just like when i i binged like part one and two part one and two like back to back really fast so i'm coming off of the heels of being like oh man this is the one season where i've had like kind of the most gripes with and as much as i really like the one season is the one season where i'm like i definitely was the only one i've watched the most gripes with and some of that has carried on into my viewing experience of this one where perhaps in the back of my mind i haven't fully let a lot of it go and so part of the processing
Starting point is 00:07:26 of accepting how great these last three episodes have been um has been interesting because i've been so more i've been more in the uh i'm a little bit more my head in certain capacities of watching it of being like oh wow watching like what they're doing with the writing i'm watching what they're doing with pain this off like i'm a little bit more on the observant side right and uh i've been feeling good like really good about it and feeling really happy with the show i got like this these last three episodes that made me feel very happy because it's it's back to the strengths and the consistency of strengths that i love about prior cobra kai seasons and it also is doing something different on top of that too you know and like the arcs that they've done with crease
Starting point is 00:08:20 I'll just, I mean, there's a lot to talk about, but the main, one of the things with this episode in particular that I find incredibly impressive, because that has dawned on me before. And I think I had it during my rewatch, I'm like, this is called Cobra Kai. This isn't the karate kid show. It's a, it is a sequel to Karate Kid, but it is called Kobra Kai, not Miyagi Doe. So to continue this series and to have it be about not just the arc of these what these characters are going on but the change of Cobra Chi itself that it's allowed to change and evolve look at it kind of like the United States of America we're not perfect we definitely
Starting point is 00:09:04 got some problems however our history is like most countries is fraughts with terrible things and it's about growing and changing and learning and developing adapting and as not you're made about what you feel about the progress or not but there's a lot
Starting point is 00:09:20 of things that we've definitely uprooted and gotten better at than how we once were before. And Cobra Kai is kind of like a symbolism of that in a certain sense to me of, hey, it's like if we change, we're the sensees, we're the leaders, we're the people, it's not upholding this name, it's about us, Chan. If we change in the values and the ideas of what Cobra Kai can mean, will evolve and change as well. and so the characters being emblematic of that and for them to embody it's really cool
Starting point is 00:09:53 like it's very very cool to be able to when you first see Johnny Donned the cobra Kai outfit back in the first episode you're like oh shit that's bad you know and then whenever a kid don's a cobra Kai outfit you're like oh man no yeah yeah it's like a virus and now we're cheering and now you're cheering because you as an audience member you feel the difference from that of when they're now it's like the symbol of it is allowed to grow and change now like this is the start of cobra kai's new journey going and bringing it back to how it was johnny who brought cobra kai back
Starting point is 00:10:36 and now johnny wants to carry on the karate legacy he wants to have the dojo and letting it be influenced by miagi dough philosophy is crazy. So I think this episode is like, I would absolutely put this as one of my favorite episodes because I don't really know how, I was like, I don't really know where you would end this show. And even though it's like, it feels like this is the right time to end, seeing this arc makes it go, man, it's like, was this the plan? Because this is like too good. This is too perfect. And I never saw that. Who saw this coming? That they were going to bring back. that cobra kai but they were going to change what cobra kai meant right so strong powerful and like the acknowledgement of this doesn't make sense for miaghi do to be in the psyche tai kai like it doesn't
Starting point is 00:11:27 and maybe that's part of like what some of my issues were falling in of like they're fighting in the in the psychai tai kai and as much as we're doing like a bunch of action scenes there's something emotionally about this that i'm just not fully jiving with and for them to back out and bring up like hey, it's never been about winning or losing. I'm like, yes, this is, this is it. This is it. And perhaps the breaks in between and the part ones and part like, you didn't need, we did need a wait it out, I suppose.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Because to have like these short stories told over five episodes at a time and to bring it here with these lessons learned that not only make an arc for the season, an arc for the characters, but an arc for the series. Brilliant. I think this is brilliant. All right. I'll admit it, and maybe you guys have noticed during the holidays, I let myself go a little bit. I put on some weight, and for the past 10 days, I have successfully been in a caloric deficit.
Starting point is 00:12:22 This whole new eating regimen, so staying extra hydrated has been quite crucial for me lately. So while I've been drinking tons of water, I've also been incorporating today's sponsor, again, a product I have already been using since before we partner with them, liquid ivy. So here's why I've been leaning on their sugar-free hydration multiplier. One stick in 16 ounces of water hydrates better than water alone. It's powered by their LIV hydroscience formula, which delivers three times the electrolytes of the leading sports drinks. Packed with essential vitamins like B12 and vitamin C. Giving me that extra boost to support recovery and energy levels.
Starting point is 00:12:53 And the flavors, honestly, they're incredible. Sometimes I just mix them with my protein shakes or I just drink them on their own. Everyone I've tried is refreshing, smooth. It doesn't have that overly sweet aftertaste you get with some other products. All in all, I'm very grateful for liquid IV. Again, I've already been using their product. while this is yes and agree to fund endorsement i was like well it's a no-brainer to endorse them considering how much benefits i feel when i use their product it's made saying hydrated so much easier
Starting point is 00:13:17 so whether you're working out or cutting calories or just pushing through a busy day and don't want to take caffeine it's one of the quickest simplest ways to give your body what it needs to feel its best so like even if you're not on a strict diet or intense workout plan staying properly hydrated supports energy levels focus and just overall wellness let me let's face it we could all use a little bit more balance in our lives. So if you've been thinking about trying it or even if you haven't, take this as a sign. The fact that you made it this far, take it as a sign.

Starting point is 00:13:55 Liquid Ivy. Reject nation, how are you feeling? I've been thinking a lot about feelings lately. Maybe because it's New Year's resolutions, they can be tough to stick to, don't you know? I can't count how many times I've set a goal only to let it fizzle out by February. But what if some of those goals could be made automatic? You just need a good transition to talk about it. And you know what? I'm excited to talk about it. And it's today's sponsor Acorns. Why I'm excited because I personally use Acorns myself. So it's exciting just to share it with all of you. Because they make it incredibly easy to start automatically saving and investing.

Starting point is 00:14:32 opportunity to do it.

I get to check out my Acorn's account. Watch it grow for a better financial future. It's
Starting point is 00:15:05 pretty awesome. So I've seen firsthand how powerful it can be. And there's also another reject here. Won't say who it is, but it's one of the one of the two women. Good clue. Where they were telling me a story before I signed up for Acorns, how one time it actually got them out of a very big financial bind. And that always stuck with me. Because it's a reminder that small actions we take today can make a huge difference down the line.

I mean, all goes back to what Mr. Miyagi said in Karate Kid Part 2. Lesson number one.
Starting point is 00:16:00 karate is for defense only lesson number two must learn lesson number one yeah that's what it's always been about and and no girls allowed no girls allowed right don't talk about miaggy no right he was a sexist yeah he was definitely a sexist that's actually that he actually killed a girl in that fight yeah i'm i wouldn't be surprised but i mean it was 1940 so spat up for course of all i do like uh the references and Easter eggs we got, especially one, I mean, we got the whole thing in the locker room with Robbie, which
Starting point is 00:16:36 direct, basically it was like a copy and pacing almost, but I still liked it. And also... It's like poetry. But the difference was like Robbie accepted as, I mean, his leg was probably in two different places, and obviously he didn't have Miyagi to fix him up, but I like,
Starting point is 00:16:51 I like the catharsis in that situation, just like, he's like, look, I might have lost, he didn't technically lose, he was kind of cheated, although I don't know if he had the time or to, even though he was starting to get the edge in that fight, psychologically at least, I don't know if he had
Starting point is 00:17:07 the time. If he could have knocked him down. But, okay, but whatever the case, I love the moment, though, that Robbie realized, hey, it's not even about the fight. It's what I've gained from everything. I got my dad. I got my friends. Like, from that, I've won. And that's when I'm, you
Starting point is 00:17:24 always talked about, I'm being taken out just from, you know, like, with the binary bros doing this. I was like, just thinking in my head, even though the scene is so wonderfully act, I'm like, he should be thriving in pain. He's like, is in like two different places. But again, for the scene, I'm like, I'm okay with him not thriving
Starting point is 00:17:39 and speak the pain, right? Because I want to emotionally feel this. And if he's like, the whole time, I'm like, I'm going to be, you know, complaining about that. So I'm glad that they did that. That scene was so beautifully acted by William. And because, again, we talk about, oh, also, too, I'm sorry, I'm kind of going on a
Starting point is 00:17:55 tangent here. I've got so many thoughts racing through my head on how brilliant this episode was, and like you, it's one of my favorite ones ever. Recency bias aside, it's not recently biased. I love this episode so much. The other Easter egg that are, rather, the reference I thought was hysterical. I mentioned it during the reaction. In the first season finale, we see Amanda seeing one of the moms of
Starting point is 00:18:15 whoever the winner was of the previous tournament. It was from the Blue Valley Dojo, whatever. She was all glammed up and dressed up, and she was cheering like crazy. And Amanda thought she was, like, psychotic and crazy. It was just funny that they called back to that. that Amanda's like I could never do that so this whole episode was about kind of full circle and I kind of mentioned at the beginning like maybe the skeletons is the skeleton costumes that was more of just a visual reference metaphor kind of thing but it's like no actually
Starting point is 00:18:42 it's for everyone the skeletons you keep in your closet how that can affect you throughout life and we talked about mentorship and how important that can be and that's again just me going back to the teachings I try to teach on yes it's important I want to make sure my students do amazing in their in their games that is so important to me but what's more important is the lessons that they learn and how they take that positive reinforcement out into life because we see that with the negative ramifications we saw that with crease like because of what happened to him in the war and just everything with losing his betsy or bet uh whatever her name was um uh in the the flashback that we saw in season three we saw the negative ramifications that
Starting point is 00:19:18 that had on him and he carried that out into johnny when johnny lost and then the strangling in the parking lot and now that had negative ramification it's like it's like a trickle effect you know what i mean a butterfly effect if you will and Johnny took that out onto Robbie and you know it's then we saw rather the positive sides with Miyagi onto Daniel now onto Samantha so you can see like
Starting point is 00:19:40 with mentorship it's so or parenting whatever you know it's very important that you give the right messaging you be there and you give positive messaging is extremely important it can affect someone throughout the rest of their life and I think that's why I was again
Starting point is 00:19:56 I know I get accused sometimes of like I cry too much, but it is what it is. Like, it's because it's because, no, it's all genuine. It's because something is touching me or I can resonate with it. And it wasn't just that these characters touch me and I've grown up with them and I'm a diehard fan of the Cobra Chi and Karate Kid series. It's me as an
Starting point is 00:20:17 instructor. Like, this is what I thrive to do. And I want to touch people in a positive way. And when I see like a character like Crease who is perceived as a bad guy and I've kind of always thought like hey he's more misguided and then what they've done with him in season three where they gave him the humanizing uh you know season on like hey this is why he is the way he is and why he's been a bad guy yeah exactly and I appreciate like this whole
Starting point is 00:20:45 I don't know if you want to call a redemption arc but just like again I appreciate just him seeing the error of his ways and like how it's had a negative effect on people that he's been training like yeah it might be cathartic for him like the way of the fist and and like a way of getting away from what has happened to him in his life. But it's also like I love that he's at least seeing like what it can do to other people and take them down a bad path. And I appreciate that we're going this way. And I just think it's a beautiful thing to spread to other people to watch and to see. And it touches me and it resonates with me. And that's why I was crying because it's something I try to instill in my life to other people just in general, whether that's here
Starting point is 00:21:24 or whether that's me and my baseball lessons. That's why I was actually crying. It's because it touched me. So, yeah. This episode was amazing. And also, too, I will say during the action sequences, I mean, Axel is just a complete bull. Like he and a beast, in regards to the fighting, I thought the action sequences, there was a couple of times. There were some cuts. But overall, the actual, like, the sound design and the visceralness, like, I thought it was very effectively done.
Starting point is 00:21:55 I just, I really felt every punch. So I thought they did a very effective job in the action sequences that we got, also, too. I know a couple times it looked like Miyagi's face, the CGI. I thought it looked okay. I feel like that particular fact, and I'm glad, actually, like, I wish that my eyes weren't immediately drawn to the mad. It's like alien Romulus. I'm like, you guys are basically saying we're willing to run with this thing that isn't there yet because the mouths always look messed. I mean, there was also like there was like shadow parts to his face that looked like they weren't fully like keyed on.
Starting point is 00:22:28 you know what i was just i i agree i was just happy to see like see them back to back and also to get daniel get that you know the catharsis of like just willing to say hey you know what i don't care what's happened in the past i know the man that that taught me and that i love and that was like my father figure and that's good enough for me and i like that let go of this yeah and i whatever this yeah so and i appreciated that cgai apart that was an awesome scene CGI apart. I love that scene. The messaging, it was... I feel like they could have pulled... I like all the
Starting point is 00:23:01 contacts and stuff. I think with the... I think if I, like, the writing and everything, I think they could have done that scene without showing his face, honestly. Like, they could have done everything the same or like shadow him or something. I don't know, some shit. Okay. I would agree with that. It's a dream. Because there's going to be... And we'll get the point. There's going to be plenty of people who
Starting point is 00:23:17 were just going to be able to go with it, the way how you were. There's plenty of... There's going to be plenty of people. But there's also going to be plenty of people who are going to be plenty of people who are going to gonna be like me a little bit i suppose like this looks weird and i am very distracted by this so yeah i think i think they'll get both camps and maybe they're the majority maybe at the end of the day the majority will just be how you felt will be excited because yeah i think i like the scene's good him working out and like to bring it back from the first movie like they're they're
Starting point is 00:23:46 not just full circling cobra kai season one they're full circling back to the first karate kid so for sure i think that's the i even love how like the part that moved me emotionally when i was getting misty-eyed or uh was the was actually the very end moment like the like literally the actual end yeah like the joy of that now that was the uh that that was making me happy because he had um that that was like the full symbolic representation of of the change and and crease willing to take the action and be like this is yours now yeah because he like stepped in at the end of season one and you know for the for the teas for season two is right yeah you brought my dojo back you know like no this is this is yours now and to see the change and like to have tory and miguel side by side
Starting point is 00:24:37 like that and for miguel because that was one of the surprising parts i think for everyone when they started cobra kai was like no one knew who sholo was and he was like but he became like a character people loved and i feel like no one gives him me enough credit because people showed up to watch Johnny Lawrence and Daniel Laruso. And then there was this Miguel kid who just freaking killed it, you know? So yeah, I mean, Robbie's
Starting point is 00:25:04 in there too, but I think Miguel was like the heart right. Oh, yeah, Robbie was a little more antagonistic. Yeah, he was probably my favorite thing in season one and the relationship between him and Johnny. But last thing I will point out, I'm very curious, excited as well to see the storyline finish off possibly with
Starting point is 00:25:20 Samantha and Axel and what I mean by that. I'm assuming that Louis Tan is going to ask Axel to cheat again. And is Samantha going to have a heart-to-heart talk with him before the fight and maybe give him some looks about like how this is not the right way? And also, too, we didn't mention during this review. I know it's Louis Tan's Doja, the Iron Dragons, but he slapped a kid right in front of everybody for the whole world to see. And nobody can see it.
Starting point is 00:25:49 I think, I mean, this whole world of karate kid. Karate Kid won was probably the most close to realistic of how you do American fighting tournaments grounded. Now here you can like swing punches
Starting point is 00:26:06 and elbow people in the face. You can't even elbow people in MMA. He's like the elbows like that. You can't even do that MMA so I don't think they're going to give two shits if someone slaps one of their students to that point like during the match that's fine. I'm willing to be
Starting point is 00:26:22 I'm just saying, like, an adult slapping a 17 or 16, however old they are, like... He's clearly, like, 32 was that in the show, in the show, but I don't know, that just, that kind of rubbed... It's weird. I never even considered him to be a kid the whole time. I'm like, I thought he was like 25. Oh, I thought they're all supposed to be under 18. I mean, even if he's older than 18, oh, I mean, I thought they were all in high school. So everyone in the Sakai, Taika, you were watching that, believing they were all. like under the age of 18 in the show i mean in real life i know the actors are older i really thought they were like 18 year old like 17 18 year olds fighting against a bunch of adults that's what i thought is that what did i'm just curious what did you think i guess i'm sort of in between you or i'm like
Starting point is 00:27:08 because i remember tournaments having different age brackets yeah i don't know it seemed like they kind of mixed in my view of in my head can and they mixed like 17 to 26 because like our the one weird thing about our ensemble is they all still look like they can be in high school yeah and obviously that is older in real life rare where you can
Starting point is 00:27:30 cast like that yeah where like holy shit it's been like 10 years and they still look like they're the same they look like they could still be in high school versus everyone else they cast in psychai tai kai they all look like they're in their 20s to 30s like everyone of them does Samantha in real
Starting point is 00:27:48 life is going to be 30 next year. They do. Wow. That's wild. They do look like you sent the high school kids to fight like the grad students. Yeah. Well, it's going to be interesting to see, but yeah, I'm curious to see if Samantha and Axel have that
Starting point is 00:28:02 heart-to-heart conversation about not cheating this is not the way, but there's got to be a confrontation. Yeah, we'll say. The judge settled his differences with the score teacher by kicking him in the face. I think he could slap a student. That was not in front. It was in front of these other fussy board members, though.
Starting point is 00:28:21 I can't believe any of them agreed to that. If they're willing to let kids compete in what is essentially like a PG-13 of a gladiator match. I'm pretty sure. I guess if he's technically, I guess if he's over 18, I guess, all right, I will be not stingy about it. I just thought he was under 18. This is a world where karate masters can live to be 180 years old. This is the world where two kids from high school, apparently I live in the Fast and Furious universe. Like, this is a world.
Starting point is 00:28:53 That's true. They should have done one cutaway to somebody from across the, some Valley mom going, oh, did you see that? And then we could move on from it. I mean, I guess it'd be. I'm trying to say, Andrews, whatever I don't believe is plausible, that's what counts. That's what you should believe. But whatever we believe is plausible, you should just get on board. Yeah, come on.
Starting point is 00:29:14 Well, what did you guys think of the episode? Season 6, episode 13, titled Skeletons. We'd love to hear your thoughts down below. Do you have any other predictions for the next two episodes? Are you getting saddened by the fact? We've got two more left. I know I am. But let us know.
Starting point is 00:29:30 I think they're going to introduce the new kid in the final episode. Yes. It's going to be Julie Pierce. You know we're going to get a Hillary. We've got to get a Hillary's way of cameo. Even if it makes no sense, we've got to get a Hillary Smith. At the very end. She'll bring out the trophy at the end.
Starting point is 00:29:45 That'd be hysterical. I mean, I'd be down for it, though. I should just see GI or a face on some. I know you guys would love that. Anyways, guys, if you've stuck with us this long, we appreciate it. Make sure you don't miss out on the last two episodes that we do. And take care. Meshay, we're going to do this.
Starting point is 00:30:09 We're going to figure out what your name means. I'm going to look. I'm going to try to see if I can guess. All right. Niche means matriarch, motherly, motherly. I'm going to go motherly. Okay, okay. All right, John, what do you think it means?
Starting point is 00:30:21 I am going to go buff, tough, and angry. Hit enter. Yeah. Hey, here we go. I searched Mishay, too. The name Mishay is a Hebrew name that means who is like God? It's a question. It is a variation.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Okay, so it's like Virgin Mary? Like Mary? is michet of another version of mary i guess it could i guess it could one or this will this will actually help us remember with some of these things let's try it with michel just for the sake of okay this is actually yeah this will be good because two we have an adequate who is like god same thing though okay because they're both it's a michael michel you know off shoot got it okay killing it dude okay and uh yeah i came from the hebrew name which is the archangel of the roman catheter got it well damn dude all right michet thank you for being like god
Starting point is 00:31:13 Beautiful, beautiful God, you.
