Thank you to Hewell for sponsoring this video. More on them in just a bit. Go give it a look, and let's hop into the video. Don't got much time to break this one down, but Andrew, what did you catch? Well, obviously they pointed out that we saw that he was the guy from Karate Kid 3. I don't know how you guys didn't recognize that either. I don't know.

Starting point is 00:01:37 There's probably others. But we don't have a lot of time here, but I really love this episode. I think the biggest thing for me was the development of Robbie and Miguel's relationship. I mean, they started off as major enemies just because of the animosity that Robbie fell towards Miguel because he had the love that he always wanted from his father. And I just love how just every season they've really been. built towards, you know, enemy to enemy to finally that friendship we got in the last season and the, again, the catharsis that they got in that conversation, you know,

Starting point is 00:02:09 and learning acceptance and how he gave him that real motivational pep talk. I think that's what it takes to be a good friend on top of like being a good friend, but it's it's giving that that good conversation that he needed to hear and that was really motivational. And I think because his head was just not in the game, I know he complained specifically me about him looking away towards Tori because his head wasn't right. But I think that's what a good friend does. You talk real shit to a friend, but also you give them that motivation to talk when he needs to hear. And that's the one thing I really appreciated in this episode on top of all the great choreography, the music, Terry Silver and everything else.

Starting point is 00:02:44 What did you think, G? I would be the G and the names here. Yeah, I thought it was a really great one of this might be my favorite one of the final season so far. are yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. It is. I'm willing. I want to take in the whole picture once everything is all sit and done. When's the final section come out? It just said sometime in 2025. They did not give a specific date. Jesus Christ. Yeah. So whatever that comes out, I want to take in the whole picture. I'll probably watch both act one and two of this season six one beforehand. But as far as this episode goes, it was a really solid installment. It's interesting to see how the Devon and Kenny think sort of resolved rather quickly after all the buildup that happened there. And I guess the heart of it is really about Anthony and Kenny not really Devin. So, yeah, we can move past that.

Starting point is 00:03:47 And he had a long flight to think about it. It doesn't feel that long for when Johnny and Miguel are flying between Spain and America because they seem to be traveling back and forth between conversations. of they're happening in Spain all the time. But I thought it was a really great, exciting episode. And yeah, I agree with you, Andrew. That moment with Robbie and Miguel is very significant. And Robbie finding a center for himself and realizing that leadership is not about him.

Starting point is 00:04:16 It's about others was a really important thing. That was something we were talking about in the last episode of why that look away starts feeling a little selfish because he's so fixated on himself and not thinking enough about the others around him and the team and the position that he held. He still got the responsibilities, and he embodied all that, which I thought was great. And Dimitri's kind of annoying me, and he's just really aggressively irritating, but maybe he won't be that way anymore after it, because it was all coming from within the tension that was happening with Hawk. But I just think that it's a really exciting competition. I think the way they've managed to weave in all this personal drama that's happening

Starting point is 00:04:51 off the mat to make the fights on the Maddick sign, because we were just watching fight scenes, we'd just be watching fight scenes. so to have really compelling personal life drama happening with every one of the characters even if it's a little soap opera it enhances it like that that soap opera element enhances all the fighting that's going on and it makes it more engaging to witness while getting some really cool choreography and it is an exciting thing to end your final season off on this and to have that locker room talk that was great where it is this is our final moment this is our final season and it was cool like andrew pointed out before they showed up about how johnny and danny We're not in the room there, and I didn't even, like, think about that.

Starting point is 00:05:30 And it's really cool. It just has you kind of reflect on how season one when this show first came on was, like, freaking Ralph Machio's returning. We got Johnny Lawrence. Whoa, karate kids returning. And to get to this point where the best parts are not even with them and they're not bad, they're amazing. It's just that there's just as strong. and this is probably one of the best examples in Hollywood of how to pass the torch in a way,

Starting point is 00:06:01 pass the torch in a legacy that doesn't feel forced. I mean, you get six seasons to do it, but it was in that moment that I really realized, like this is the best legacy sequel thing I think I've ever seen when you want to hand the baton off to a new cast because you're not even thinking about like Johnny and Danny, oh, I'm just so engrossed in what's happening with these guys, like these are the main characters, you know?

Starting point is 00:06:23 So I thought it was really, really cool. Robbie was awesome in this one. Yeah, absolutely. You guys have pretty much said it all. I love the emotional qualities that this episode had. It got me teary-eyed a couple of times. Some of those rousing come-together moments were really great and the moments of tension really hit as well and as you said, everything enhances what's going on

Starting point is 00:06:42 on the mat. The fights are just you know, they've got that sense of punch and speed and momentum that's so exciting. And the frame rates too, like you pointed out, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Thank you to Huell for sponsoring today's video now guys i'm going to give you all the god's honest truth of how this sponsorship came to be sponsorship came to be we got contacted about basically partnering up with huel before we agreed to anything the very first thing i said was i would like to try the product first i did a

Starting point is 00:07:12 instagram post on our real rejects one it was the first time you see me trying the huel product basically going like hey we might not partner with them this is not a paid instagram post but i just wanted to try it since a lot of you guys asked for like health recommendations now and the know kind of what I take only because of the fact that I'm vegetarian, I have very limited protein options. So I gave it a shot and ended up loving it. Primarily the chocolate one. Wow, this is really, this is a really great one. One of the best things about it is that, yes, it's pre-packaged.

Starting point is 00:07:38 And a lot of times when it comes to, like, the prepackaged bottles, I'm not a big fan of them normally, which he got me drinking on camera, is one of these, which takes a very long time to put together and can often get messy. It's just not aesthetically pleasing, but I'm trying to pack like a lot of vitamins. and fiber protein. The best part about Hewell is a lot of what I try to pack into this one giant shake is already available in this little bottle. Often taste better than what I can actually assemble myself. It actually tastes great.

Starting point is 00:08:06 It's got a high protein intake count as well. And you know what? Brad new bottle. If you guys can see, it's filled to the top. This is how good it tastes. Now, normally, what you want to do is spread it out, but if you want it in one go, it's just as good. It tastes really freaking good. Thank you so much response from this video.

Starting point is 00:08:35 The one thing they want me to say is this is you can get 15% off Huell today with code Rejects at huel.com slash Rejects. Fuel your best performance with Huel today. They are great, and I am already almost out of the many bottles they sent me. If you guys do go check them out at Huel.com slash rejects. You'll see they've got a whole bunch more items available as well. and if they taste anything as good as this, I'm going to be a very happy customer

Starting point is 00:08:56 for a very, very long time, so join me on this health journey. And, yeah, the convolution is just right. It's like there's so many things happening and you have all this history with crease and silver and Johnny and Danny and all that stuff and them, you know, sort of redirecting the Terry Silver energy and crease

Starting point is 00:09:14 toward each other off the mat. I thought it was a fun and clever idea and just these different allegiances of like, what's Kim Diann going to do because she's clearly not fully in the cruise, Creece Silver Camp, but she is somewhat in the Cree Silver Camp. And yeah, just like the stakes and the tension

Starting point is 00:09:29 and the emotion in those fights was really easy to get wrapped up in. And yeah, I'm glad. Like, even the stuff is like we were getting annoyed in the right places with Dimitri and Hawk and the deception surrounding Kenny or the questions surrounding Kenny.

Starting point is 00:09:45 And then when he finally stepped in and just like the nods to leadership and how Robbie is able to both unlock his leadership position but also like handily foist Kenny into you know the proper light to unify the team was just really yeah it was really nice and graceful and it's like even if you can step back and be like oh yeah there's some things that are so proper there's some things that are over the top it's uh it's it's like it's really well mapped out or it's feeling really well mapped out in this chapter of the season this middle part act two of the final season I think has been been quite strong and each episode has gotten stronger the momentum has gotten higher and makes me curious what the rest of the the season's going to be shaped like because this was such a crescendo and it was such a moment for them to you know defeat cobra kai and now you know with one more episode in this chapter there's got to be some shoe to drop yeah yeah agreed and last thing for me um now that we had robbie get his

Starting point is 00:10:39 awesome leadership moment where he was fighting whatever the bad guy's name is from a cobra kai who's kwan uh mr class i'm curious because it feels like we're on a collision course with miguel and axel just from all the looks he had and everything and also there was an nice answer question when Miguel said, what's going on? And Saman said, no, nothing, nothing's going on, right? I feel like possibly, again, I'm always wrong on my predictions that Robbie, because only the

Starting point is 00:11:03 captain's fight in the final match, that possibly Robbie could get hurt, and then Miguel has to step in, maybe to fight in against Axel. I'm curious if we're on a collision course for possibly that to happen, so we shall see. Must be. Yeah, yeah. We shall see. Well, and are COBRA Kai going to find some weird, Terry Silver made that loophole comments.

Starting point is 00:11:19 I'm like, is Kobe Guy, or the Iron dragon is going to find some way to combine with kobra kai to become the arch evil here just before the end yeah either way exciting to see what's going to happen absolutely i can't wait absolutely cannot wait either guys if you cannot wait leave us some comments in the box below how are you feeling here at the precipice of season's end of the show's end and uh yeah we'll catch you on the next one for the final episode of chapter two pieces chris whamma there's anyone who i Would love to engage in a fist fight with.

Starting point is 00:11:57 It's Chris. You know why? Because he'd lose to make sure we look good. That's true. He's just that generous of a dude. He would absolutely lose as long as it meant propelling us up in front of other people. And he would be hyping you up the whole time you beating the shit out of him. That's the thing about Chris.

Starting point is 00:12:15 He's encouraging you every step of the way, making you feel valuable. Exactly. He's just that generous of a guy. and he's constantly about lifting other people up so if we were to compete in a martial arts tournament I'd hope I'd be going against you because I know as I'm stomping my face on your jaw dislocating it

Starting point is 00:12:35 teeth literally falling down your throat you'd be smiling the whole time going wow this is going to be a great memory one day when you can remember it after waking up from the coma you're going to have such a great time rehabilitation all rehabilitation should I remember your name and how a ride and spell But your fiance

Starting point is 00:12:53 She might not even want to be with you afterwards Because like will she really want to be Like can you really see a future with the guy But you would be kind enough to be like No go out there You know live your life You deserve that Don't let me hold you down

Starting point is 00:13:06 You'd be able to get out of that mouth of yours Yes That's your through the wire I love that about you I love that about you And somehow you'd still find a way To send $250 to $500 every single month The Extreme Labs

Starting point is 00:13:19 Dude was right out of your medical insurance I think you'd probably get some sweet, sweet dough you could throw our way with all that money. That's Wolk, see, that's the thing, is Chris, during the fight bet on you to win, and then put all the money in your name. That's how good of a guy he is. He's like, I know I'm going to lose this, but not only am I going to make Greg look good, I'm going to pad his pockets in the process. That's a genius. Look at you, Chris. You're like the most diabolical Robin Hood in the whole dang world.

Starting point is 00:13:51 Ah, Chris Whamma, Christopher, Christian Crispy. You be safe out there, and hopefully you remember this when you wake up.
