And you and I were going to bedone before the holidays. So I'd

It's just you and it's just and that's okay. It'll

but here's the good news, Jason. Okay. And this
is God honest truth. I watchedour episode today. season five
episode nine survivors. Yes. AndI was just sitting back going,
Wow, this is really good. It waslike it was almost like a
reaffirmation like, wow, this isa really good show.

There you go.
That works.

So I liked that.
I liked that. I almost like a reexperienced my excitement. Yeah.
All over again.

I like it. Yeah.
You're recommitted? And Iappreciate that. So yes, indeed,
next bit of business. As you allknow, as you know, so I have
launched the doggone podcast,and now that things have
stabilized. And I'm back andwe're in the new year, more
episodes coming, working onhaving lots of people come on
and share their stories. It'sgoing to be wonderful. But out

(08:04:29):
of nowhere. I learned about amovie on Netflix called

Dog on with Rob Lowe. Yes, the beloved robber,

but it's not about losing a dog who has
passed away. No, it's about adog who's lost. And there is I
seen the trailer in it. And itlooks like there's a real you
know, they reunite which looksgood. And well, I just looks
that way. I just watched thetrailer. I'm gonna watch it. I
may cover it on let's talkmovies. very meta. It's a nice

(08:05:04):
little hybrid. But I just sawthat as like, of course. And I
like how our logo, the oh, youknow, a dog has a dog looking up
into the sky. It's very fittingtheir logo, the OH is a dog
print. So it's funny how we bothchose to emphasize that letter.
And it hasn't representation. Soreally cool. So at first, I was

(08:05:26):
like, What's this? In ourinvestment? Like a series? I
prefer it to be a movie. Butyeah, I may explore that on
Let's Talk movies. So I justwanted to throw that out there.
So, but I had to name first.
Sorry.

No, no, that's true. That's true. You've had
that name for a long time. Long.
You have had it for a long time.
And then you finally launched.
But the good news is and becauseI like to always look at the
silver silver lining, you know?
Absolutely. And that is youknow, it's that old story of you
open up a bar on this side ofthe street and then across the
street. They opened up a baryou're like, hey, wait a second.
Yeah, I opened up my bar. Butreally what that does is it

(08:06:02):
validates the area right in thatbar will help your bar. Yeah, so
it becomes actually symbiotic.

Yeah, on Curb Your Enthusiasm. Larry opened up
a spike coffee shop. A lot.

I haven't seen that season yet.

It was next door.
Classic, nice. But no, I thinkit's a good thing. I think good
things can come from this andthe word of mouth. Hey, have you
seen God? God? No, I heard thepodcast. And there's this
something like I feel like I'm Iusually luckily, in my career.
It's like I fit my fingers onthe pulse lightly on a pulse.
And I really am excited to getthis show to the next level. So

(08:06:40):
next bit of news, which wecouldn't have covered had we
done our episode as we hadoriginally planned, but a big
shout out to one of our actorson Cobra Kai. Yeah, Raymond
Sting Ray Porter, played by PaulWalter Hauser. Golden Globe
winner for Blackbird. Yeah, holy

cow. I didn't know that. Yeah,

he just wanted so he has. He keeps stepping Not
man that guy he is a legit legitactor. Kudos to you Mr. Houser.
And also

well I don't know is that even blowing up? Is he
done blowed up? He's

hidden blowed up.
So not just nominated but hewants so I'm very I haven't seen
Blackbird I guess it's a newshow. I'm not seeing it I will
seek this out. I do think he'sgot dramatic chops in a lot of
comics can do that right. Lot ofcomics can quickly turn that
corner and be very serious. Andso I definitely the dark side,
the dark side. So that's goodnews. And now under the Cobra

(08:07:42):
Kai Karate Kid universe newsbefore we jump into the episode,
so as we had this time off, andI was kind of like doing some
things, checking some episodesdoing my notes for eight, nine,
I have to say something that wedid not get into on an earlier
episode. And it has a Karate Kidthree times in, one of our fans

(08:08:04):
actually pointed this out to medon't have the name in front of
me, so shout out to you. But inthis scene, when Amanda and the
kids go visit, cousin Jessica,right. And the Ohio bar, the
leader of the mean, girlsremember the mean girls, and
we're just starting to fight andthey finally got theirs. Her

(08:08:25):
name was Elizabeth and Rooney.
And I remember thinking at thetime when that name is so
specific, well in the Karate Kidthree because I was actually
looking through the Karate Kidthrough their day. That is the
character name that actuallyhooks up with Jessica's
boyfriend soon to be exboyfriend. And while she was

(08:08:46):
living in Los Angeles hiding outfrom Ohio, it was the same Yeah,
of course, the show would dothat. Call it back. And that
just kind of connects thatbecause that way just breezed
right through that fact. I justwant to throw that out there.

But wait, so she heard her name was mentioned we
never saw her right? No, she

was the main mean girl. Oh, and credit card. Part
Three. You did not see her namewas just to hear

the nature. Yes.
Okay. I got it. So she she takeson that role. And Lady nice. I
like it. That's cool. And youknow what, leave it to one of
our listeners to point I gottatell you, Jason, you are usually
on top of thing. Hey, well hangon. Some of our listeners are
like way like diligent and

it was good. And I no excuses. I didn't get that
one. And another problem issometimes we go on deep, deep
deep dives on other things. Andso and it's like so much to
consume because as soon as hepointed out, I was like, of
course that name was soblatantly like Elizabeth Ann
Rooney, my radar is usually upand I just blew right by me. The

(08:09:50):
more we take on the more rabbitholes, the more fun facts side
stories. So we're gonna missthings. And I love that people
bring them to the forefront. Infact, if you didn't know
something that we dropped on,you tell us that too. No,

I'm just kidding.
That's okay. Elizabeth andRooney to Gucci

to Gucci. So also when I was revisiting the credit
card, part three. And I knewthis, we even talked about it on
our breakdown of the movie, butit's just fun to bring it up
here now because so much hashappened in the Cobra Kai
universe as far as its growth,right? Take it over the valley.
And the movie silver tailscrease. He's already secured 20

(08:10:27):
locations. Now I know we've saidit before, but think about that
now. Now. There's 20 Whateverlocations happening, but my mind
is like wait a second. Whateverhappened to those locations? Did
they have branding? Like I knowwe just

became what the hell became spirit no spirit
Halloween store

that's it the spirit Halloween is that was all
over the valley sounds there'sjust too many of those.

That's yeah, all the empty storefronts are all
spirit

Halloween. Wow, I wish there was some deleted
scenes and the Karate Kid partthree where it's like, Hey,
Chris, this is one of our newdojos like I just crack up
because he was it was mainly arethere.

Hang on Jason, are there Deleted Scenes of all
the movies?

Well, I mean, Amundson has released things on
his YouTube channel as far aslike rehearsals and things like
that. And then there are somescenes that this show puts in
remember that cafeterias? Yes.
So I don't know if there wasthey probably would have already
used some of that. But I like tothink that there are or they
thought about shootingsomething. But anyway, kind of

(08:11:34):
neat that he really did tell himhe secured 20 It's probably just
like, a contract. They probablyhad no

idea. Yeah. And yeah, they didn't have the
locations yet. They had thesignatures. Yeah.

Lastly, in this episode, we're about to break
down lots of movie references.

Well, again, this is where you're on top of
things. So in hindsight, I'mlike, oh, yeah, but I didn't get
it. You got it, and you're gonnalead us through that. So that's
cool.

Absolutely. So So let's jump in. entire season and
series brought to you byNetflix. If it was released,
like all episodes in the season,September 9 2022. This again is
season five, episode ninesurvivors. rating 8.4 on IMDb.

(08:12:26):
Pretty good. I'd say hieverybody pretty good.

I would say Hi, this one was a lot. I know I've
said this before, but this onewas a real ride. It was. I had a
good time. I had a real goodtime watching this one.

The synopsis for this episode, Tori pays a price
for defiance. Stingray doesbattle with his conscience. A
celebratory night on the towntakes a turn for Johnny Daniel
and shows. Oh, yes, it does.
Lots of jerks. So so if you'reready with your cab for our

(08:13:00):
scene by scene breakdown. Yeah,you're right over the top.

Is this we are overdue.

Okay. So we started the receita apartments,
where we left off episode eightpost makeout for Miguel. Oh,
yeah. Yeah. And Miguel looks forSam. You know, he saw he was
busted. But you know, not reallybusted because he's single. But
you know what I mean?
Officially. Yeah, officiallySure. It's still not good

(08:13:32):
optics. And Hawk is playing beerpong. Lots of fun love that
game. And Sal we here Fight,fight. Start to ruin you know
how teams get what is takingplace? Exactly.

Yeah, first of all, I've been there. I've been
I told us a story and a fight Iwas it's pretty exciting. It's
actually I think I sort of ahighlight reel, more highlight
highlight people are stilltelling the story. I hope so. I
hope so. Yeah. People yellingfight fight. We see now tamarins
in STEM. Sam and Tori new castmember Tammen. Sorry, Sam and

(08:14:14):
Tory. Sam screaming pushing,kicking. Tories holding her back
though. And Robbie and Miguelstep up Tory leaves. Just he
just takes off. Yeah, I wantedher to stick around a little
while longer but she did justtake the stance very hysterical
she stayed

calm because she's there to share she's there
to admit what took place but Samwas

just wasn't there to fight.

She was news to her. Sam

was hot from and she's already upset. Yep, yep.
Yeah. And

so she's about to she's trying to fight but I'm so
glad Tory just wasn't in themood. You don't want to fight
someone who's ready to fight andyou're not and she just backed
away and leaves and but it wasall about all Valley. She'd
never heard this news, all thistrauma that she's dealing with.
And it was tough, but I'm gladshe left but I also love that

(08:15:04):
Robyn Miguel, this didn'tseparate them somehow fact that
you nine of them. Like do youknow about this? No, I didn't
know about this. But thebrothers at Arms not here we go
again. Like you know, I read thewaterpark, and it's just

exactly in previous seasons, they would
have started getting in.
Totally, it would

have been kung fu fighting everybody. So now we're
at the hospital. And so I wonderif this is the same hospital in
which Samantha Magallon StingRay have all spent time in?

I'm gonna assume it's the same hospital in every
season. Okay. Was it like maybelike Van Nuys? Presbyterian, I
think. Yeah, maybe.

Yeah, there are some hospitals in the valley. In
fact, my hospital when I livedin the Valley for the tail end
of my time in Los Angeles wasWest Hills Hospital, which,
oddly enough, just recently, afamous celebrity just passed
away. They're right after theGolden Globes. Yeah. Elvis, his
daughter. What?

Oh, I didn't know she was here. She was at

the vet. I think she lived in Calabasas. And I
think they were she died in thathospital. I was just like, oh my
god, I used to go there for myannual physical. And oh, yeah,
that was sad deal. Sad, sad, saddeal. But anyway, you're just
kind of brings to mind. But backto the show. Could be the same
hospital? I think so. But thistime, so it's not there to go

(08:16:26):
recover from an injury. Johnnyand Carmen are there and get an
ultrasound. And so I love how toJohnny is

there being a good a good part Good,

good partner, not like he was before with Robbie's
mom. And he's also convinced thebaby is already kicking. Yeah.
Which is hilarious.

Yeah, the nurse says, well, they don't kick this
earth. And Johnny says, Yeah, myboy is a kicker. Just like his
old man.

So good. So Johnny. And we also learn no
twins, because we kind of talkedabout that. Like, wouldn't that
be wild as to whether it'd betoo much the dispute too much

fraternal twins that would be nice.

But we are I also don't know the sex yet. And
sound. I also love on the wayout, you know, this is a good
reason to go to the hospital.
Him and Carmen are in lockstepthey're really getting along
great. We love this. But I lovehow he has to remember where he
parked because it's easy toforget it especially in Los
Angeles. There's like you golike, you know, so many floors

(08:17:29):
down, but he punches twice p topunch twice. Do you have any
tricks of the trade like Thatsounds so you don't get lost?

Well, it took me a long time to finally figure
out that I can take a picture ofthe if there's any numbers on
the on the wall or any letterson the wall, such as P two.
Yeah, I can go ahead and justsnap a quick picture of that
before I head into the movies orwhatever.

I started doing that a long time ago. Get that
shot. Yeah, for sure. Becausesomebody's parking lots are
full. And if you don't make anote, just take a quick photo
you don't think about it. I havebeen there. I had one scare one
time well, when a scare but justtook me a long time you were
lost two years ago I was like,and it turns out there was an
identical parking garage next toit. And the security guard came

(08:18:15):
and took mercy on me and took mein his golf cart. It was late at
night and rescued. But speakingof which P two punch twice. Also
was a movie a horror movie. Ptwo came out in 2007. Wes
Bentley was the villain in thatmovie. Pretty good horror movie.

(08:18:36):
Now I know Wes Bentley, we usedto play on my soccer team in Los
Angeles. Shout Out West BendLee. He's in tons of movies from
American Beauty. And he's alsoon Yellowstone which is blowing
up so but yeah, check that oneout. And I like horror movies.
Pretty interesting. He plays areally good creepy guy. Someone
who's I do goes down late atnight a girl and then she's met

(08:18:58):
my creepy Knight security guard.
Be on the lookout.

Jason, if you may indulge me, please. You
mentioned P to me. I piggybackthat with p 22. The local Cougar
local Los Angeles as well. Theysay he was euthanized but I
don't want to go on. That's awhole nother podcast but rest in
peace. P 22. of Los Angeles.

What podcast is that? Exactly? I want to tune in

Well, yeah. Oh.
Animal affairs, you know, aanimal affairs podcast.

Yeah, I didn't see the news. And it was very
sad because I've heard of p 22.
For years.

Sure. He's been around 12 years. Yeah, it's
amazing.

Well, the elevator stops on three before
they get to P two and Sal whoenters.

This was a surprise. Yeah. Terry silver
enters. congratulates Johnny onbeing able to make it or
Congratulations on making itinto the Sekai Tai Chi. Yep.
Then for the baby. And then hewarns Johnny though it gives and
you see, here's a good example.
John is not a small guy. No. Andyou see how big Terry Silver's
now how tall is Terry silver?

(08:20:09):
He's got to be like 6465

I think he's 6364 Yeah. Then

how tall okay, then that kid Johnny Lawrence is
like six six or six one?

Yeah, I don't know. William Zabka is probably
661 Okay, he's got a littleheight on him. You know, but
definitely

Terry silver is huge in this elevator for sure.
Yeah.

Yeah, cuz he's congratulating him on one thing
and then realizes what is takingplace and you know, and his way
his sly way. congratulates themthem the both of them but then
warns them. Yeah, you'reabsolutely right. And now we're
at LORUSSO Otto post exchangehere. And Johnny is telling
Daniel, Amanda, who should bethere, the risotto and of

(08:20:54):
course, chose it is therebecause he's on security detail.
And Louis, we haven't seencousin Lou in a while. And there
he is. Yes. And he's explainingthe whole encounter with silver
and South Daniels not shockedsilver was at the hospital like
you and I are like, what'ssilver doing there but Daniels
not because? Yeah, he's

like, he's probably attending the board
meeting or selling black marketkidneys.

And that's not too far off. That is the rail
which put

us over. Yeah, that's something like when you
think about the old, you know,yeah, getting sliced up and left
in a bathtub of ice. Terrysilver would probably be
involved in some sort ofshenanigans like that.

And he'd be cutting the ribbon on a new
hospital. You know, he'd be oneof the board.

Exactly, exactly.
Totally evil two faced.

Evil to evil two faced. So now Daniel and Amanda
believe that they should justhave the night off. It's been a
lot of stress. I need to likelet some steam off. And then
Johnny does what?

Well, he doesn't say that Carmen is pregnant, but
he kind of all because theyoffer drinks and he goes well.
Yeah, so he Yeah, he drops theball. On that, I think, and they
all figured, oh my god, Carmenis pregnant, and they go into
celebration mode. Now, rightaway, I do have an issue with
the fact that aren't they in themiddle of a war? Really? I mean,

(08:22:19):
they're in the middle of a warwith against Terry silver.
Remember everything that's justhappened this season? And I
don't know. I mean, are we justsupposed to automatically
celebrate that somebody'spregnant? I mean, I would be
like, could you have waited?
Could you have waited until thewar was when babies could bring
peace? Okay, well, anyway, everymovie we ever see a horror movie

(08:22:40):
Walking Dead. It could be hellon earth, and people are gonna
still have baby so great. Ithappens. What do I know? What do
I know? But hey,congratulations, Carmen.

Yeah, absolutely.
Carmen and Johnny. So naturally,they all prepare to hit the
club, hit the town, painted red,and celebrate and have some fun
and cousin Louis is planningeverything because of course he
blew up Johnny's car, but youknow him planning it sound you
just know that. It's not gonnago perfect. It's Louie. Right?

(08:23:12):
It's gonna have Louie stamp allover it.

Well, you know that if Louie plans an outing,
it's going to involve apolyester shirts. Yeah.
Probably. Like Like he's notgoing to take you to like a
hatchet throwing weekend.

Yeah, and of course they do invite a newish
but he's busy he's got a day yes

I always I do you know man, can we just tell our
show runners more news moreLouis? More news more minutia,
Louis please. Yeah,

if I see Louis I need a news if I see a news I
need Louis they just you knowTam and cheese, peanut butter
and jelly. So now what Miyagidough and everyone is learning
the truth about what Silva hasdone paid off the RAF at all
valley and frame crease for acrime that crease did not
commit. So all that's coming tolight here right now. And Sal

(08:24:05):
Demetri is fired up and makes aGame of Thrones reference about
silver.

Yeah, he calls him sensei. Targaryen. To
guardian.

Yeah. From to guard guard. Of course. To okay.

Yeah, so unfortunately I have not seen
game for I forgot I have. I dohave some action figures. Of
course. You do. Turkey TyrionLannister. Yeah, well, can my
Tyrion Lannister is my favoritegame of thrones action figure.
So I got to look into Target,Target, Target target.

off its target area. You threw me off. I'm
sorry, I shouldn't have done anyof that one. You're not a fan.
But you're a fan of thecollectibles I should say. Oh
yeah. And then Burt mentionsthat he's still friends with
Stingray because they know thatStingray, you know, know
something, and he can get him totalk. So everyone loves that.
And they head out except for Samand Miguel. And Sal. Sam is not

(08:25:00):
interested in talking about lastnight.

No, no, no. Yeah.
Miguel wants to talk about thegirl. And by the way, just a
shout out to that actress whoplayed the girl in that scene.
She did a phenomenal job. So youknow Rough night for shallow
mighty Dwayne. Yeah, that night.
Having to make out with a girlthe cats right.

But coincidentally, about last night
was a romantic comedy from 1986.
Rob Lowe, there is a girl andmore. And Jim Belushi and many
others but very good. Don't knowif you've seen it. I've seen it.
I mean, I think I did know Ithink Oh, you forgot to put him
in Asia.

Cinema in Asia, but I think I did see that when
it came out. Yeah.

Very good film.
But there's another reference.
They said it very blatantly Idon't want to talk about last
night. You know the beats werethere. So now we're at Cobra
Kai. And the students aretraining per usual. And Silva
and Kim talk and he's agitatedsow with Daniel Gianni and
chosen but then who arrives?

Yeah, pretty ballsy. Robbie walks in the
door. He stands before the classhe makes an impassioned plea to
try and convince the thestudents especially Torian.
Kenny, we see a lot of cameratime on tour and Kenny, he tries
to convince them to leave thedojo. And I was surprised that
Terry and Kim let

him let this play out. Yeah.

I was surprised but Robbie says there is pain in
this dojo, and it's built uponfear. Because this man is not
your sensei. He is your enemy.
But it's not too late. You'renot past the point of no return.
And I promise there's stillanother way

funny thing point of no return is an action three
reg and find this. I was likeare you kidding me with these
things? But it's a great speech.
Robbie kills it. He reallythere's actually more to it, but
he stood his ground. I gottagive him credit. Nothing scares
Robbie. You know nothing. He'shad Well,

look, look who is dead is Johnny Lawrence does not
scary. Oh,

He nothing, nothing scares him he'll walk
into a hornet's nest knowing theodds are against him like yeah,
whatever those guys in Mexico,I'll take you guys along. But he
has a lot of that. Although Ithink he's got more wits about
him. Right, more, more streetsmarts. But anyway, great
speech. And you know, I think itresonates a little bit with
Kenny and then you can kind oftell like it's lost on him. But

(08:27:31):
Tori who knows what's going onwith her as a lot she's she's
got a lot going on. gettingpulled away.

For Kenny, he is past the point of no return.

At least currently, you know, because
yeah, he kind of so naturally,it fails and South silver gives
a lesson to Robbie on beingheard. Verse being listened to.
That's pretty interesting.

Yeah. Yeah, I can appreciate that. His moral
there. I can appreciate it.
Sure. Yeah. So therefore theylisten to you. But yeah, they
they heard you but they didn'tlisten.

It was like he's pulling a Jerry Maguire. And
this is my own movie referencehere. You know who's coming with
me, Robbie does this big thing.
It's like crickets and thensilver steps up. Because what
are they going to leave?
Robbie's got nothing. He's givensome wisdom, but when you don't
want to hear it, you know,whatever. I'm not I'm not tuned
into that channel right now.

Well, also at this moment in time, Robbie is
not in a dojo right?

I don't know.
Yeah, it's tough sometimes he'sthere sometimes he's not right
because he's off on his littlemissions.

Well, there's been a few of these you know,
unification and then break upand then unification that
breakup so at this moment, intime and space and time, Robbie
is now down with everyone else

seems like it yeah, I mean, yeah, okay. But
it's not like he's at practicetoday. And everyone's meeting
talking about the situationwe're staying right Robbie still
got Robbie stuff to take careof. Right get it off his chest,
whatever that is. He's trying tosave people he's trying to say
friends you know, I get it. Youknow.

So big picture take them out of the darkness.
Yeah.

So therefore a Cobra Kai will be showing no
mercy today. And Kim notices aconnection though before between
Robin toward because there wasyou'd look at her and then she
would look and so she's pickingup on that. That energy.

Kim saw that she saw those little glances,

glances. So now what the nightclub? Yeah,
Reggie's drive or die. Limopulls up and our crew exits the
limo. Have you ever riddenReggie's drive or die? Limo?

You know what, for the first time only
recently? Was I on a party bus?
Oh, yeah. I've never been on aparty bus. And they are fun as
hell, man. Oh my God, I need toget on a party bus more often.

Wow. I'm glad you had to get you been on party
bus. We rented a bus for prom.
And I've been in a big limo likeHumvee Hummer limo is like 12

Yeah, well, one party bus. Itake that back, but it was kind
of a LAN party. So yeah, yeah. Ithink I missed that window.

They still might play that. Oh, no, we were to go
to a club.

Mix. It's in the mix. And I love that Johnny goes
off script and orders what?

Well, he happens to see a white claw there. Yeah,
a white claw hard seltzer. Yeah,he's like, Yeah, I'll take one
of those. He drinks it spits itout immediately says tastes like
a watermelon took a piss. Yeah.
Now let me just say this folks.
I have had a lot of experiencewith white claw in recent
months. I do like them. I dolike your white coat. They are

(08:31:49):
only like a watermelon. Yeah,they're only what I do. I'll
take some watermelon, butthey're only 5% Alcohol. So to
me, they're really for kids.
Okay, but, but they are prettypretty good after a workout.
I'll say

I've not had one.
But then Johnny just gives upand drinks it which is funny. So

I missed that.
Nice

and then Daniel orders Amanda a

kettle Martini straight up

himself. A MacAllan

18 Neat. I'm this is what I had been the last few
years now again haven't had aMacAllan 18 have not had. I
think I had a McKellan in thelast couple of years, but it
wasn't on my calendar, a team.
And I did have it neat, ofcourse in honor of Daniel Russo

and then shows and gets a classic

Long Island Iced Tea. It was very surprising.

I was talking to Sofia when we watched this
episode, like, I used to makethose when I was bartending and
I could do it in my sleep. Andnow it's like, what's in that
again?

It is so good. A second. I didn't know you
bartender. When was this? Backin

the day, man, college post college just a
little bit. It was fun. It was agood time and you can learn how
to make all the drinks but now Iget what's

your then you'll always take that skill with you
forever.

20 years later, you tend to forget some of the
drinks.

Now, you wait could you make so you're saying
you couldn't make Long IslandIced Tea then

I could that had to look it up. Yeah, I forget
what's in okay. I'm more intowhat we're into. You know, give
me an old fashioned give me aMacAllan neat game, you know,
like, but back then in thosedays, it was like Long Island
Iced Tea and all these funkyColorado bulldog and a
Manhattan. Lots of cool drink.
Anyway, Louis also goes on toget everybody shots. Except
Carmen.

Yeah, she's worth Kayla shots.

Yeah, I'm not exactly sure. So I don't think

there were whiskey shots. I think these
were Yeah, probably tequilashots of tequila shots. That's
one thing you know, speaking oflike, let's just for the record.
I'll take tequila, of course.
It's course. A don't alwaysdrink tequila, but when I do,
no, but um, I don't mix though.
I don't mix. Usually I'll choosewhat I'm going to have at night

(08:34:06):
and I'll write at home. Iusually won't won't do a lot of
like, I'll take this and I'lltake that. Yeah,

no, that's good.
So now we're at Ramin, Stingrays apartment. And he's wearing
a Legend of Zelda shirt, whichis great. And he's playing d&d
with friends. I don't know howclose they are when there's a
knock on the door. And so heassumed it's a pizza delivery
guy showing up right? But not somuch. Who is know

while we have our gang a Bert, followed by the
rest of the crew.

Yeah, and some other d&d errs are coming in as
well. Well, that's

what he thought right?

I know. There were some more Dungeons and
Dragons friends coming in. Theycame in with burden him a little
bit. Yeah, I knew I knew crewcame in but no pizza. But
continue. Sorry.

Why didn't I see that? Why am I so blind?
Sometimes I missed that. I sawour our gang. Yeah. Oh, God.
They're

more important. I get it.

I didn't see them. Yeah, yeah. So he makes a
reference. You're going he makesa reference from a Star Wars

he does when he first he calls them Miyagi
fangs. Which I love the combobecause we were talking about
like combos a while back a fewepisodes ago, maybe even last
night like that one, actually.
And he does make a Star Warsreference. To be specific,
though. It's a Return of theJedi reference. And do you
remember this line? I'm going tolet you take it? Oh,

this is a trap.
You Admiral Ackbar DMY.

Amazing line from Return of the Jedi. Admiral
Ackbar figures out that theEmpire is on to the Jedi you
know onslaught and says it's atrap. And it's just a great
moment in the movie. And I lovethat

here. Jason also a GIF. A very Oh, yeah. Popular.
Great, Jeff. To you.

Do you have Akbar behind you? Somewhere? It's a
great, thank you. I used to haveit.

He's in he's in front of me. I do have some Star
Wars characters. On a case inthe opposite direction.

What you have Akbar? Yeah, well, yeah. Oh,
man. You should have got thatqueued up tonight. I had no
idea. That's awesome. Next time,I don't have time. So great
reference. And then Bert andSam. However, it's you know,
their focus, laser focused. Andthey confront Stingray and
sound. They want answers.

Yeah, yeah. They well. Well, they wanted to go to
the police ultimately,

right? Yeah, they want him to admit things.
Something's amiss here. You livehere now. They've seen sting
rays. You know, he's working atHome Depot. He now sudden he's
living here living the highlife. So they want answers and
they know he knows something.
But we cut away back to thenightclub. And Daniel Amanda
Gianni Carmen anchos andreminisce about the past and I

(08:36:59):
love these scenes sow and Danielunchosen share the villagers
vegetable scam from the crowd.
could point to and which

Nice. Yeah, he scammed a chosen scams himself
with fake weights making thevillagers profits actually
higher. Is this is this whatthey call revisionist history?
Right? In other words, they madean error. I think in Karateka,
too, they made an actual error.
And then now they can rectify itby just calling it a chosen
error. Right?

They could I'm assuming that somebody on set
was like, Hey, this is wouldn'tbe the opposite. But then what
are you going to do? Is he gonnahold up is Daniel get a hold up
super heavy weights. You know,like, this is so heavy. I mean,
you could have it was funnier tohave him snap the weight. You
know, it's like this fakeweight. And maybe it just shows

(08:37:54):
how just dense that chosen wasand his thugs that they can't
even get a scam right. I thinkthat was more apt No way. This
made it by everybody. And weeven talked about it when our
break down and was like, Wasthat was that a mistake? But
anyway, I love that Harmonpoints it out. And chosen goes
with it. Like yeah, not one ofmy fighter things. I mean,

(08:38:15):
chosen his just, he's the best.
Right? In lieu of Mr. Miyagi.
It'd be like Mr. Miyagi beingthe same age as everybody and
hanging out with him. But it'slike we've chosen and he's been,
you know, reimagined. And and welove him. And that's really
funny. Same, and then it'srefill time. And Daniel is gonna

(08:38:36):
go to the bar, but he says, Iwill get it. And you remember
that?

Oh, yeah. So from season

one, they go to Okinawa season three and four,
three. Yeah, I'd have to lookback. I had to be season three.
Pretty sure. Okay. So yeah, hegets up to get him a drink.
unchosen is playing that likestiff cold stone walls and, and
fantastic episode, but yeah,love that. He throws it back.

(08:39:05):
So, so meta, we're like, we're,you know, stealing from
ourselves just a few seasonsago. And then Amanda and Carmen,
they're gonna hit the dancefloor. So which gives Johnny and
chosen a chance to talk andanytime they're talking, I like
that same because they're goingto talk about Daniel are just
certain things, little nuances.
And it's a great moment. And Ilove what we learn. Which is

Yeah, well, this was a surprise. Yeah. That
chosen as had his eyes on awoman from back home. And chosen
says, There is one woman veryspecial.

And we know who he's talking about, right? Like
you knew right away.

The only woman we've ever known to be in chosen
his life.

Besides the groin. Daniel rescued from

okay besides her?
Yes. Besides her. Yeah, there'sonly one woman we've ever seen
chosen associate with fromKarateka to? Yeah, yeah, of
course. Yeah. Yeah. So I thoughtOh, wow. What? Okay,
interesting.

So, now we're back at Cobra Kai and class ends
and Silva and Kim have Torystay. And Sal, what happens?

Oh, this was horrible. This was so horrible.
harkening back to Karate Kidthree. When Daniel had to punch
Terry silver had Daniel punchthat wooden dummy. It was
horrible. And now this one'seven worse. They put a wooden
dummy in front of Tori. It'smade of stone not even wood. But

(08:40:42):
stone. How the hell are yougonna break this?

Yeah, this is pretty nasty stuff here. And she
has to do it. They let everyoneelse leave. And then she tries
to leave. And then the other youknow, senseis getting away and
like, what are they gonna dokill?

Including Tyron Woodley. Tyron Woodley. How
could you? All right.

So Kim provokes Tory, and won't let her leave
until the lesson is over. AndTory gives in and shows her
rage, I guess you would saytowards Kim and says

Unknown (08:41:18):
well also pain, right?
Oh, yeah. She's

got lots of pain.
Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah. So what Kim is is just like poking her raw
pain is what is what she'sdoing. Yeah. And, and she she
hits the stones,

because she's even mentioning Robbie. Canvas
putt? Yeah.

Robbie her knuckles are bloody just the one
just to write right yeah, justfor right. Finally breaks the
stone falls the grasses I brokeup with him because of this dojo
ubitx

Yeah.

Salad surprise she talked to

like that. And she liked it. And so did silver.
But I guess you could also saybloody nickels. One could say
that now.

Good night Encino.

So she does break this down and injured her hand
badly much like Daniel injuredhis much like crease injury in
his hands fighting Miyagi andmissing and hitting car windows,
lot of bloody knuckles and theCobra Kai Karate Kid world. So
now we're back at stingraysapartment and he's still

(08:42:29):
disappointed in Burke for theAkbar is still just like I can't
believe it. But that's enoughthey're tired of this act. And
the others want answers and thisleads to a great and I mean,
that great scene and a creativeway for Stingray to bring DND
into play

and sound cool little figurines they very cool
to show as well.

And he gets the you want to take it. How does he
What does he do? No, no. What ishe grabbing? No, no, you're you
have you have the collectibleswhat

explain Wait a second. Hang on. Just just to be
clear. I don't have any d&d. Oh,okay. Okay. I know that I don't
have but apparently they uselittle figurines to represent a
character.

I'm learning d&d through the show. So I don't
know Well,

I folks, I may collect toys, but I'm not a
nerd.

You are a nerd.
So he has a he mentions adwarven monk, which is Stingray
kind of looks like Stingray.
Then there's a leader whichrepresents crease. And then
there is a silver haired Kingrepresenting silver Of course,

(08:43:39):
and then tells the story of whatreally happened and just how
scared the monk is of the powerhungry silver haired king, and
he does a fantastic job. And sothere is plenty to say here. So
please give us stingrays lines.

I think the monk just the monk just wanted
reentry into the guild becausehe thought that he could be like
a like a proud and noblewarrior. Just like you, Hawk.
Samantha all you guys. But he'sneither proud nor noble.
Definitely not a warrior. Hejust sits around playing with
him all day. The monks justscared. I just can't. I'm sorry.

And delivered by our Golden Globe winner. He
kills Golden Globe. GoldenGlobes soon to be Oscar this
guy.

Yeah, probably.

It's fantastic. I loved it. This this scene alone
really excites me that Stingraycame back because they've really
just made his role. Sounderstated. He's wounded.
Right? But this is a chance forhim as an actor to shine. Yeah,

he's not he's not as wacky as he was.

Gopher from Caddyshack. I'm all right.

Unknown (08:44:54):
I'm all right. down about a worry about me.

Yeah, when we meet him in that hardware store.
He's fantastic. Yeah, he's oldkid. Right. And just a middle
aged kid. But a good hard boy,man, boy. But I really loved it.
And Samantha is not impressedwith this speech. You know, of
all the people you ain't tryingto hear that she's not here.

(08:45:20):
She's not showing her about lastnight. And she doesn't want to
hear stingrays speech. And shestorms out of the apartment.
Yeah. And what happens is,

Miguel follows her. And Sam does share that
she's upset with Tori andMiguel. Yeah, but Miguel make
some points and shares how hardit is to be in Cobra Kai. Yeah.
And how hard it must have beenfor Tori, to even say the things
that she said and admitsomething. So he admitted

to come over there and admit it because Sam
that something is lost on her.
It's like, oh, Tori, this Torythat was like, No, you don't
have you have no idea what it'slike not to mention where you
want to break. So I give you abreak. And then you're mad.
We're on a break. And I'm doingsomething else. So he made some
really good points. And she'slike, oh, yeah, probably been
projecting. And I liked that.

(08:46:11):
She took that in and didn'tdebate him on it because his
points were valid. And I thinkshe learned something in that
moment. And speaking of greatacting in this same Show Low
Maddie Dwayne Yeah.

Kill. Yes. I was thinking that to amaze thinking
that watching the scene likewow, he's, he's a really good,
he's very believable. In fact,he's one of those actors who's
so believable. You're like, ishe acting? Yeah, he's not act.
Yeah.

That's just how he really is he Miguel? That's
Miguel.

Right. Yeah.
That's, that's his real name aswe go. Yeah, he's very good.
Because, you know, in the worldof acting, there's something
called where someone says, I sawthem acting. Right. When you see
an actor, you don't want to seethem acting. That's fine. You
just want to see the characterdoing their thing. You want to
see the character emoting andall that. You don't want to see
acting when I see a show low.

(08:47:02):
Yeah, I don't see acting there.
No, he's doing a great job.

Very good. So Now we're back at the nightclub and
Johnny shares with Daniel whichis great.

Yeah, Johnny says, Yeah, too bad that Kokomo
chick lives a million milesaway. And Daniel says, Wait, you
mean Kumiko so Wow. So now welearn that Chosun has had a
decade's long crush on Kumikobut don't bury the lead. No one.
He says no wonder why he saysCoco. What did I say?

No, that's right.
But come on. Please give me yourrendition or Beach Boys.

Unknown (08:47:46):
Oh, Aruba, Jamaica, who want to take your Bermuda Bahama
calm I'm pretty mama Key LargoMontego baby, why don't we go
Bermuda now?

Then you got to do the big coastal that you're
gonna hit that

Unknown (08:48:03):
way down in coke. Wait, no, no, I'm starting to get

back to one. All right.

I said everything but

I like it. No chorus, maybe half the course.
Anyway, no course for you. It'sgreat that he says Kokomo it's
great that Dan is like one onwhat? And who knows when this
happened. But there's more tocome when another scene. I don't
want to get ahead of myself. ButI do love that we're learning
that our guy chosen who's beenrehabilitated has feelings for

(08:48:38):
someone else that we reallycared for, and was just taken
away. And they brought her backfor that great episode Miyagi
dough, which was in seasonthree, which means that whole
thing that Daniel isn't, youknow, I'll get it was in season
three. But I love that we'rekind of talking about that
bringing that to the forefront.
And then Carmen takes Gianni tothe dance floor and chosen and

(08:48:59):
Daniel chat and sound. This iswhat I love. But before we get
into the serious stuff, anotherway I did jump the gun. I love
it. Another Karate Kid referencepart two blocks of ice. I love
he's drunk. He's feeling good.

(08:49:19):
He's bragging about Daniel tothe staff. Dan is like, I don't
even have blocks of ice here.
But I just I love it. I love itthere champion each other now
like that's where we're at.
Johnny Daniel unchosen are this.
Now it's not just Tango andCash. It's a threesome. And I
love

it's the Three Amigos

so good. But this leads to Chozen opening up about
his feelings for Kokomo. Can wego?

Unknown (08:49:51):
Way down in Kogi.

So this is a very touching scene. And please, what
is the start to share?

Oh, this is where Wait a second.

Well, he started talking about him and Kimiko as
they were children, and runningand playing hide and seek. I
don't know if you remember thatsame. And they used to run
around King show how she'scastle. Oh, so the things that
Daniel did with her and theirteens, obviously they had a
history as kids they grew uptogether as little islands

(08:50:24):
little village

right? One on one or chosen Hey to Daniel, then
he's coming in.

Always taking girls away man

is he is? In fact we may get into learning that he
took Amanda from somebody. He hejacked Amanda from somebody I
bet

maybe. But it's wonderful to hear that. Because
he's sharing that she was alwaysthere. I would hide. She would
find me. Can we go and find me.
And this led up to when he wasdisgraced at the bone dance and
tried to kill everybody.

Well, wait a second. Hang on. See, see this
is what we make it into if theyever have the Miyagi spin off
because there was that gapbetween him and Kumiko as kids,
you know, having a great time.
And then he became evil. Andthen he became disgraced and
dishonored. But that was whatthe hell happened. Yeah, you
know, between those years

the early teens angst those the t shirt or
wearing the shirts that werelike way unbuttoned and he had
the

polyester shirts.
Polyester. That's why I likecotton. Polyester thuggish gives
you attitude. Yeah, it gives youattitude.

And these are hanging out in the thugs and he
started like, screwing over thevillagers. But after let's go
post Karate Kid to right. Yeah,in fact, this could be during
Karate Kid part three because wedon't know chosen story. So
let's just say that timeline,right. So he's disgraced. Nobody
in the village will talk to him.
It sounds like Miko would go tohim.

Wow, she forgave him. She was probably the first

to forgive him.
And that's incredible. Like,wow, we've never heard that and
that's good stuff. And heprobably has a you know, big
heart for her. And she helpedbring him back.

I mean, I love her, let alone if I were chosen,
I would love her, you know whatI mean?

And then Daniel encourages him to stop punishing
himself because he is doingthat. He's like, I what I did to
her, you know, he can't endDaniel, but he needs to forgive
himself and go to her, which heneeded to hear.

I think he knew well, yeah. Because I think for
a moment, you're there's alittle moment you're like, Well,
what's Dan, you're gonna thinkof this, but he's moved on. He's
married. He has a family. Imean, he has no, no, you know,
romantic tomatoes.

It didn't know that at first. He didn't want
Johnny's Italian, but then herealizes because he knows Daniel
and Kimiko have a great, youknow, platonic relationship. And
they mean a lot to me. Sure. Butthat aside, that's been dealt
with and now it's like, yeah,it's okay. You have my blessing.
And sometimes people don't knowthat they deserve to be happy.
That's a lot of people.

Well, you know, there was a time I had a friend.
He had a girlfriend. It wasshort lived. They broke up. Very
soon thereafter, her and Istarted Jessie's Girl. Yeah, no,
I saw my friend. Well, I said,Hey, is it alright? Like, would
you be upset because this was agood friend of mine. I was like,
Would you be okay, would you becool with this? He's like, Yeah,

(08:53:25):
man. Go ahead. You go ahead. Andthen her I dated for like five
years. Oh, so what? Yeah, we didwe did. We dated for me and him.
Yeah. We kind of drifted. Itwasn't anything about that.
Yeah. We just kind of drifted.
Yeah, but they always had

an aftershock.
Sisters.

You didn't have a cute sister. I should have
decided

me to continue.

No, no, that's it. That's it. I forgot what my
point was.

Well, great, same. Love it anytime we can go
back in time and add littlelayers and Kumiko is still alive
in this universe. I love it. Sonow we're on the dance floor.
Because after all that talk, wegotta dance. And Daniel unchosen
join the others and we hear Youspin me

Unknown (08:54:12):
right round baby right around like a record baby ride
Round Round Round. Oh, yeah.

By dead or alive.
I had this on CDs for so long.
Maybe tape before they had sucha good song. Always at the club.
Probably still to this day.

I think unfortunately dead or alive.
We're a one hit wonder would yousay? Oh, yeah, lots of them.
Yeah, but that was a massive

hit. Huge. Still works. Yeah. And South still
played still play? Everyone'shaving a great time. I mean, a
great time until Yeah, they are.
What happens

yeah. Louie looks over. sees a noose there. You
know what? I'm seriously Ithought about a new Shapiro. I
did because I was like, rememberhe said he's gonna say where I?
I did kind of forecast this. Soyeah, Louis spots a newish
dancing. We turn the grillaround because there was like,

(08:55:10):
hey, who you who you want todate with? And it's Louie sister
Vanessa, who in real life? Roughmochilas daughter Julia much?
Yes.

She's been on episode. She was fantastic.

By the way, why haven't we seen more of her? I
mean, Asian macho daughter thatshould give you a pass. And and
b She's fantastic. Fantastic.
She's really good. Anyway, Iwant to see more of her. But But
Louis flips out. He does nottake this well that that Anoosh
is on a date with his sister.
No. And he punches a noose. Iwas surprised to see that

they see it into a fistfight.

I wanted the it goes to the ground though. I
wanted Anoosh maybe he's beenlike training in MMA. And like I
wanted to see like somegroundwork maybe get him in and
well, he did

go out so a noose gets hit and he tackles loose
quite large compared to him. Hedoes

go in for takedowns in his MMA on that
move. It's a successfultakedown. It is

and Daniel and Amanda are a not surprised, and
b Don't even try to intervene itwhich is great. That's like, Oh,
what are you gonna do? It'sLouisiana

news. That's what they do.

So now we're outside the nightclub and chosen
calls. Kumiko. And Sal, he'sbeen drinking and this typically
isn't ever a good idea.

Yeah. Usually not to drink and call or even
nowadays drink and text. Yeah,you gotta be careful. You got to
be careful. I will say though, Iwas a little. I don't know.
Disappointed. I don't know ifthat's the word. Okay. I wanted
him to call and leave a messagefor Kumiko which ends up
happening. He loves what she'sdoing

that would tell us what happens here. Well,

I wanted it to be in Japanese. I was I was
thinking why wasn't it Japanese?
Japanese? I don't. Yes. You knowwhat, we've never had subtitles.
Japanese to English subtitles onthe show. I don't think ever
have We don't think we have

Okay, well, maybe I would have been a good one.
But so one of our listeners willcorrect What does not correct?

Well, he leaves a sweet message for her sakes.
We'd like to see her when hereturns. And then he made one
mistake, which is he should havetaken her with him, which is a
callback all back to when Mr.
Miyagi says to you Ka and thenwe hear the Karate Kid score in
the background.

Yeah. And that he says that to her, we hear it
just a little bit play comes upand then just fades away again.
Yeah, he told that to UK. Sogreat job show nailing it as per
usual, great callbacks here. Andnow sow Do you think that chosen
got his weapons back from thebouncer? I didn't? They didn't

(08:57:57):
show us.

I'm gonna say no.
Let me tell you this. I used togo to a lot of clubs and parties
in my late teens, early 20s. AndI generally, and party buses,
and I generally would carry aknife. And what I would usually
do is hide the knife beforegoing into the Don't Ask, Don't
ask. I would like to I wouldhide the knife before going in.
One night. I said I'm gonna justI forgot. I just forgot about
the knife. Anyway, the bounceris like, Hey, you can't have

(08:58:20):
this. And he says what's holdingit for you? He says he Yeah, it
was He says I'll hold it for youand give it to you at the end of
the night? No.

Did you say Microsoft again?

No, everybody, the end of the night.
Everybody's gone. He's gottenhome. He's gone. Everybody's
gone. He takes my

show. So what am I gonna have his size?

Okay, I bet you that the bouncer stole his drunk
because they're gonna quitequite valuable, quite valuable.

So now Amanda and Carmen are calling in tonight.
And they're gonna get an Uberand I love that Johnny insist on
an Uber Black. Because he knowsthat there's a lot of sketchy
Uber drivers out there, himselfamong them. So

Uber Black is like the highest

level high level like look classy. Alright,
because he's obviously

taking it now. I want like the compact. What's
the cheapest compact, that'swhat I'm looking at?

Well, it's kind of like that old Groucho Marx
joke. I don't want to be part ofa club, or I don't want to be
part of any club that would haveme as a member. It's so true.
It's like Johnny's like I'm inthis but it's you're too good
for it. I do love it.

Yeah. Those drivers probably drink and drive

and drive in. Pee in in there. You know, they're
urinating.

Unknown (08:59:37):
Oh my God into a

cab, not like a big mouth. So the guys then pile
in the limo, and chosen seeingthe couple's kiss. Goodnight
says what? Which is great.

All right, SUCK FACE later.

And this of course, brings to mind On Golden
Pond, the 1981 drama Jane FondaHenry Fonda. Dabney Coleman. And
in the movie, they're asking theyoung boy Hey, so what do you do
when you hook up with a girl? Idon't know. We hang out a SUCK
FACE. And later in the movie.
Henry Fonda Norman's hischaracter says to his wife,
right to his wife. Want todance? Or would you rather just

(09:00:19):
SUCK FACE famous line? I'd neverheard SUCK FACE I've heard
something else face beforerhymes with SUCK FACE but worry
we won't get into that now. Butyeah, I was like this is so
funny. That was a deliberatedrop.

You think so? Oh, yeah.

No one says SUCK FACE Come on. chosen is a big On
Golden Pond fan.

I only saw that movie myself recently. And then
they were they had an up onstage that a stage production of
On Golden Pond here recentlythat unfortunately I missed but
yeah, the movie was really goodand endearing.

Well speaking it was Katharine Hepburn was the
wife and amazing. The Oscarsflew around. But that movie so
let us not forget. We screenedit at the Los Angeles United
Film Festival. And we had thedirector Mark ryedale out Dabney
Coleman out handprints in frontof the VISTA theater, played it
on 35 millimeter. So at theVISTA at the Vista you were

(09:01:19):
actually I wasn't aware thatdown the street at the lowest
police three that night doingother screenings. So it was one
of our special events. And Igrew up loving that movie. And
here I am part of thiscollective honoring the director
honoring one of the stars. SoI'm very fond of that movie. So
I was all over that man. Anyway.
Very funny.

Wait, see? Well, you might say you're fond of
that movie.

Oh, god. Okay, good night. Good night Rhode
Island. So that's two flatstaking it too far. So now we're
at Tory's apartment, no motheror brother to speak of. So many
mothers bedridden, we just don'tknow we haven't had any updates.

(09:02:03):
And she's got an injured handand what she needs is that stuff
that Mr. Miyagi made for Danielin the car It could Part Three
that he just Yeah, but that'snot around. She just has

ice No. And then which which doesn't

that's total you know it's just the swelling
might come down and that's

it just to reduce swelling reduce pain, it does
not ice doesn't really heal.
Whereas Miyagi had the stuffthat can help to heal. Yeah.

But then who arrives?

Again, another surprise. I'm always surprised
when people just arrive atpeople's places, you know? Yeah.
All my life growing up. You didnobody had access to our front
door. Yeah. We had a gate and90% of the time the gate was
locked. So nobody was justcoming to our door. The fact
that anybody could just walk upto somebody's door is still a
foreign concept to me. It reallyis. Well, I have.

Yes, so no,

you have a moat.

Loaded with crocodile hungry crocodile.

So at Tori's apartment, Sam arrives and she
offers to help offers to listen.
Yeah, she looks around now thinkabout this for a second. How,
how and where Sam lives and looklike Johnny's place. It looks
okay. Versus how and where Torilives. I mean, there's cereal
boxes. You know what, five milesapart? Five miles apart yet

(09:03:24):
different worlds? Yeah.
different worlds but five milesapart.

And she's in pain. Like not just physical
pain. But like, inside, youknow, mental and

remember we're starting to feel for Tori. Tori.
We like Tory now right? Pro Torywe yeah, we are pro Tory. She
She is no longer the thevillain. She's no longer one of
the villains of Cobra Kai.

No. So then Tory shares how much it hurt to learn
the truth about all Valley. Andthat she's been working with
Chris to get back at Silver butdidn't know everything didn't
know the extent of things. Andthen Sam shares it, Stingray
admitted silver essentiallyadmitted that silver assaulted

(09:04:08):
him, but wouldn't go public withit. Because of his fear. And
then Sal Torre has an idea.

Yeah, we see that invisible light bulb above her
head. Yeah, because she askedlike, see if something occurs to
her about, especially if it'sthe old Cobra Kai dojo. It could
be something

evidence there.
Yeah. In the cobra, Kai dojo,

possibly visual evidence.

Well, which is kind of a nice cut, because now
we're at Silver's house, andwe're seeing a security camera.
So it's like, maybe that's whatshe's talking about. But great.

They used to call it. I'm sorry, Jason, do they
still call it a closed circuit?

Is that still an expression of closed circuit
circuit? Yeah, this closedclosed circuit.

Okay. I don't hear that expression.

But He's entertaining since a cam and
they're having a drink and justkind of thinking, Well, I'm now
I'm not taking any further thanthat. It's out. What are they
discussing?

While they're talking about their evil plans?
Yeah. Silva thinks Kim was toughon Tori, but she feels that
Devin has a lot of potential. Wehaven't been given much camera
time to Devin in this episode.
No, no, I think we I think weshould have considering Kim's
point. But yeah, Kim does thinkhighly of Devin at this point

(09:05:34):
and wants to give her moreprominence. And silver says you
really think Devon Lee has ashot at winning the Sakai Tocai.
And Kim says youth is not aliability. It has the greatest
power. Hmm.

Interesting. They really kind of work well
together. She's Yeah, they're

wicked. wicked evil team.

Yeah, absolutely.
And it's a shame because we sawa young camera she seemed so
sweet. Right innocent. What?
Well, she get corrupted.

Hang on though.
Remember when we first meet heras a young girl she's basically
breaking the rules.

Oh, okay. Well, she's breaking the law but why
wouldn't she was watching themwatching crease you the same
will say but you're right.
breaking the rules. Much they'vechosen was breaking the rules
with the pillows and whatnot.

Wait, no wait, that was chosen who was doing
that? Yeah. And she wasobserving. Yeah, you're right.
No, you're right. She

was right that she's something else. But yeah,
it was it. She's no, no, no. Iright. I'm right.

No, no, you're right. I got scenes mixed up is
what I did.

So now we're back in the limo. And Daniel Gianni
and chosen are rocking out to

Unknown (09:06:44):
Yes. I have the Tiger by survivor. It's the Eye of the
Tiger recently in the fight,rising up to the challenge of
our rivals.

Oh my gosh.

I saw rocky I didn't say

rocky three. He's training to fight Clubber Lang,
played by

Mr. T foo. I pity the food on on Mr. T.

pineal loves his mother loves his mother loves it
loves your mother loves motherswe've talked. So you've met Sal
Rodriguez has met Mr. T at thegym back in the day. So I'm

going to tell ya I used to work at various gyms
in Los Angeles and would talk tomany a celebrity they are fond
memories of meeting variouscelebrities in this instance,
Mr. T. And just recently, by theway, since we're talking, they
recently released a Mr. T actionfigure from his appearances in
the WWE. Oh, I loved himrecently. Mr. T. Yeah, it was
when he was paired up with HulkHogan. Oh, yeah. Mr. Tiefe

(09:07:44):
action, junkyard

dog. He was in the mix.

God Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. I love all thoseguys. That was my era. You sound
like No, no, I was a kid.

I am

watching wrestling. You're a nerd. Jason
Connell is a nerd.

Also a tough guy.
Also an athlete, but a nerd. Forsure. Tough guy. Listen to me.
I'm not a tough guy. Anyway, sonow we're back at the nightclub
kind of ping pong game back andforth. We're in the car with
them the limo with them andthey're rocking out and then we
see Louie and Anushka huggingmaking up. No Vanessa are nessa
as a news calls her. Not only isshe not around that much. She's

(09:08:24):
not even in the scene after theyfight. Maybe she was so pissed
that her brother's fighting herdate or boyfriend whatever that
she did, she took off. So thenwe go back to the limo. And we
come back to them or kind oflike I said, we're going back
and forth. And I am telling youso I've said this once. I've
said it twice. I've said itseveral times. Spin Off. Luna

(09:08:45):
Nish first spin off. MiyagiMiyagi dough. That's spin off
one spin off over here the lightversion. LEWIN finish I'm
telling you it would be a hitbecause you could take it any
which way it's like Laverne andShirley spin off a happy days
you ever wants to while theworld would inner mingle and
kind of see each other everyonce in a while they might go

(09:09:09):
down to and see oh my God bringit full circle. Maybe Pat Marita
at Arnold's maybe like sometimesLaverne and Shirley
but sometimes they would kind ofconnect and then they would
disappear again much like Morkand Mindy. That was a spin off
of Happy Days. Yeah, he was atArnold's I don't know if Arnold

(09:09:32):
was still running it. Or if itwas Pat Maria's character owl.
Our owl owl Arnold was patentRaider owl was there. I don't
know who was running therestaurant. But that's a spin
off and then they never see themagain. Right. Frasier every once
a while would pop into cheers,but like cheers is off the air.
So So I think you're gonna havea spin off that could be loosely

(09:09:53):
tied. And it says these guysbeing these guys. They're funny.
They interact with each other.
They are the new Odd Couple.
Thank you.

And I really got ahead. Thank you, Jason. I
really appreciate more and moreI the more that I think about
it. Anoosh. During thattakedown, he went in for that
time, and he was straight inthere. I gotta hand it to a man.
I do. You wouldn't you wouldn'texpect that have a notion. Yeah,
yeah, there he goes.

Yeah. So as we go back and forth. This is great.
We realize that in the limo, ourtrio, a they're reliving their
childhood survivor, they'rerocking out all that. And our
guys are odd couples bonding.
But we also realize the limodriver comes up to Louie and is

(09:10:42):
a bit perplexed.

Yeah, yeah, your limo driver comes up to you
like, Hey, you seen thisdilemma? Yeah, that's not a good
thing. You want to hear fromyour limo driver. Where's the
limo?

We don't know anything's wrong yet. But as we
cut back to the team in thelimo, it is taking a long time
to get wherever they were going.
Now I understand this. Yeah, youand I know Los Angeles. And if
you're gonna go from the valleyand maybe take, you know the
Mulholland and dropped in onHollywood, it could take some
time. But it seems like morethan more time than it should
have. Because they're probablystaying in the valley most

(09:11:18):
likely.

Well, not to mention, not only time they
start to be like, Hey, this is Ithink is Daniel. This was like,
hey, this has taken a long time.
But then the driving starts tobecome erratic,

and they can't roll on the window, and the
doors are locked. So then youknow we're in trouble. Well, of
course, you know, where they'rein trouble when the limo driver
comes up. It's like, Hey, whathappened? And all this is going
on why the tiger continues toplay, which is fantastic. But
the driving does get moredangerous. And we have to assume

(09:11:50):
that one of Silver's goons isdriving.

Okay, honestly, I do not know who that was
driving. I was thinking I'mright there with everybody.
Anybody who was sitting therethinking Who the heck is
driving? That's where I was. Idid not know who the hell was.

I assumed it was one of his goons. And then it
ends it is literally a cliffhanger. End Ain't no reference
to the Stallone movie there.
That's that's not Oh, no. We'renot going there. But cliffhanger
ending is like that's like, youknow, a real soap opera like,
tune in next, the Dukes ofHazzard would have frozen belly.

(09:12:24):
You know, that's hotter than afox in the henhouse and we'll
come right back. But now it'slike

no, it was kind of silly Cobra Kai. They haven't
had an ending such as this haveno no right in the thick of
things right. They shouldprobably

just kept going and episode 10 should have been
a double episode and just said Iscrew it but now they do.
Because I know you can go on ifit was a show that had like yet
a wait a week that would havebeen too much. Like come on with
that.

But anyway, I don't know man, what the way
they released these shows theyreleased them all at once. Okay,
it when they dropped 10 episodesof Cobra Kai all at once. Why
not just make a 10 hour movie?
Just make it a 10 hour movie.
Why not? It's

a lot to buy. It is one thing to say, Hey, I just
watched this movie. Oh, yeah.
How long is it 10 hours. It'sanother to say I just watched
the most badass season 10episodes. You'll love it. It's
like we trick ourselves. Right?
If I say to you, I said he sawcome visit me. And I'm saying
this to you. It's only it's nota 10 hour flight. You're like,

(09:13:30):
oh my god, a 10 hour flight.
It's only a five hour flight.
But it's so it's a big number.
You've gotta you gotta chop thatup.

So I could take the 10 hour flight in Florida
and

watch that movie.
Put on a movie. Yeah. Anyway,that's the ending. It's great.
This is not an 8.4 This is a 9.4it's a great episode. It really
hearken back to karate kid to

Well, no, they went all over the place karate
get to Karate Kid three. Andyes, that cliffhanger ending?
They have not done anything likethat before. So that that adds
to the excitement and thewackiness.

Yeah, totally lacking. But fantastic. It's
fantastic that we did it. Werevisited this episode. I'm glad
we did. By the time we get toEpisode 10, season six will be
upon us.

We've rolled this out. We don't have news on
season six. I

just know they're they're doing it or they've
already done it. So that's goodnews. And when we do wrap season
five, Episode 10. You and I willbe doing a fan appreciation
episode much overdue, it mighteven be a few. So and just a few
updates a few more updates as wesign off. If you go to the just

(09:14:47):
curious media websites, tellthem what you can see now, which
is been added for all of theshows.

But does it sound kind of braggadocious? No,

this is not braggadocious. This is if you
want to see your own review, andit might might inspire others
that it's also it's just a link.
I didn't go crazy with it. Whenyou looked at it, though you did
say it looked like what likepress clippings or what were you
saying?

Like varieties?
Okay, yeah, variety.

I'm not this is not bragging. I am beyond
humble. I think it's great toshare with our fans, especially
our fans that have put it outthere. But yeah,

I know what I said. And this is total honesty.
When I saw it. I said, Well,this looks really nice. It looks
it looks great. It's it's a walland the just curious media site
of our five star reviews. Andeverybody's name is there. The
quotes are there. The stars arethere. It's a beautiful page. It
looks really great. I'm quitehonored. And I think all of you
I really do. I mean, really, itmeans a lot. Each show has its

(09:15:50):
own list. So yeah, it is almost,it's not just like this page is
a tribute to us. It's a tributeto everybody who left a review.
It's a tribute to everybody wholeft the five stars.

That's not why that's not why I did it. And I
can only update it so often. Soif you've added one recently, it
will go to the wall it will andif you ever have to Forestar and
you felt like bumping it up.
Five gets you on the wall. Butno, it's really cool. It has the
person's handle, and the quote,and I kind of made a collage.
And I liked it. I thought it wasvisually stimulating. It does it

(09:16:19):
looks nice, because if I leftone, I wouldn't mind being
honored somewhere like, oh,there it is. So it's up there.
And I hope to add like a wall offame, right? It's like, it's our
wall of fame. And we might evenpick some of them some of those
great fans out and have them onfuture episodes, which we've
done with Patreon we have. Sothere's that. And that's all I

Yeah. Jason, I have had a lot of discussions in
recent weeks about the specialepisode season if you will, when
that season is upon us all thewonderful things and there's no
