- Hello and welcome to another edition
of the show my mom calls 10 minutes too long,
Reunited Apart.
I'm your host, Josh Gad.
And this I'm happy to say is our final episode
of the year known in most quarters as hell ground.
When we started Reunited Apart
at the beginning of quarantine,
we did it for two purposes.
To bring a little joy in these incredibly hard times
and most importantly,
to help raise money for charities in desperate need
of those resources.
Over the course of our seven episodes
we've raised over a million dollars
and collectively helped many in need.
On this last episode of the year,
I hope you will help me shatter our previous records
as we raise money today for Action Against Hunger.
Action Against Hunger is a global humanitarian organization
that takes decisive action against the causes and effects
of hunger.
They saved the lives of malnourished children
and ensure everyone can access clean water,
food, training, and healthcare.
And today,
thanks to an incredibly generous donation
by our partners at Sony Picture Television.
I am thrilled to announce we are kicking things
off with a pledge of $25,000.
Let's make sure we make that total go up.
Please click now on the link in the description below
and make sure to give anything you can.
Here at Reunited Apart,
we get lots and lots of requests
but one franchise in particular has been suggested
to us over and over again.
While some of us began a journey
with these characters in 1984,
others like my daughters have only recently learned
of crane kicks,
Dojos,
and Lake sweeps.
As we all gathered around our television to
discover the continuation of a saga that began with
Mr. Miyagi and Daniel LaRusso over three decades ago.
So now as we all Mark our calendars for January of 2021
for season three of what is arguably,
my favorite show on television,
Cobra Kai on Netflix.
It's time to rewind the clocks back
to a cruel summer,
many years ago,
And wax on and off about the man,
and the myth,
once simply known as "The Karate Kid".

Ladies and gentlemen welcome to a ultra special episode of
Reunited Apart: Karate Kid Cobra Kai Super Edition!
(trumpet intro)
Please join me in welcoming Rob Macchio,
William Zabfa,
Elizabeth Shue,
Randee Heller,
Ron Thomas,
Tony O'dell,
Juli Fields,
and the creator of the hit series Cobra Kai on Netflix,
Josh Heald,
Jon Herwitz
and Hayden Schlossberg.
Guys there is so much to discuss today.
Why don't we start with
Josh, Jon and Hayden.
Is it still insane for you guys to see this crew together
as it is for me?
- Yeah no doubt.
I mean it's been an amazing experience.
I mean like you we were just fans of the movie
and of the whole franchise and,
and to be able to work with this amazing group of people,
it is a dream come true in every way.
- We have a lot of Karate Kid moments on this show where
you walk into any given set,
any given location,
any given day and depending on who's there
or what's being filmed
it feels like you jumped into the movie.
- Ralph And William,
let's start at the beginning.
How did the two of you find your way
into the now iconic roles of Daniel LaRusso
and Johnny Lawrence back in what is it 1983,
1984 where you guys start?
- I auditioned for John Appleton,
our director.
It was a script called "The Karate Kid".
And I said, boy that's a lame title if it ever sticks,
I'm gonna have to carry this sucker for the rest of my life.
But what are the odds that's gonna happen?
And I walked into John Appleton's apartment
there were actors lined in the hallway
and I walked past the poster of "Save the Tiger"
and "Rocky".
And I was like, okay, this is pretty legit.
And it was John and a video camera
and we began talking and then we read a scene,
and you could watch that scene on YouTube right now.
He put it up back before he passed away.
We miss him so much and he's shining down on us for sure.
It all started there.
And he at the end of the reading he said,
"I can't guarantee anything and who knows
I may find Spencer Tracy between now
and the time I shoot this."
but in any event I would take some karate lessons.
- You know I would've been better off
if you just let them beat me.
It would have been done with it.
It all gone once and for all.
Now I got to carry your weight around too?
Thanks a lot I appreciate it.
- [John Appleton] Good, very good.
- I had an audition for another movie
and the casting directors remembered me from it.
I didn't get that film and they call me in one day.
I was at the gym working out my manager called
and said you have a meeting for this thing called
Karate Kid.
I went in and I didn't know any karate.
So I didn't think the chances were too good,
but I read the scene.
I went in the next day and read for John Appleton
and kind of hung out in my car
cause it was all these kind of almost Johnny's
in the waiting room and everybody was being more tough
than the next guy,
you know?
So to not psych myself out,
I locked myself in my dad's 1970 Volvo
and cranked some Zebra
and wait for the cast director to come and say come on in.
And I had a headband on and I walk in
and I did my scene with John And then he said,
"All right, how old are you?" And I said, "17."
He goes, "well you're a little bigger than our karate kid."
And I said, "Well, Bruce Lee beat up Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
and he goes, "Well, you got a point about that."
So then I went home and then it was a series of callbacks.
And my last one was reading with Ralph himself.
And again, I was overwhelmed.
The I've loved them in the outsiders.
And here I am, this new kid.
And anyway,
we went in and did our scene together.
A few other guys went in and did it as well.
And I think I stalked Ralph.
I stayed outside the bungalow until it was,
you know, nighttime.
And he walked out and I just said, "Hey man how did I do?"
And he goes oh and he goes,
"Listen, everybody is great"
He goes, "I told John everybody was great."
He goes, "But you scared the shit out of me."
- You couldn't leave well enough alone?
Could you little twerp?
No You have to push it,
Well now you're gonna to pay.
- Don't take this the wrong way,
but it's literally the most perfect casting
for Johnny Lawrence of all time.
The world would not have been the same.
Um Elizabeth,
Lisa,
30 plus years later
and these guys are still fighting over you.
What can you remember about shooting the first film?
Well, it was my first film.
I had done no films before. - Oh it was?
Yes, my very, very first one.
And what I do remember,
and I wanted to ask you guys.
Was the first scene we shot on the beach?
- Yes
- It was, Oh my God.
I'm so glad because that was my favorite part of the movie
because we were fighting and it felt so natural to me.
Cause I grew up with three brothers to beat people up
(laughter) you took my radio.
Like all those shots when you're trying to hold me back
and you're like,
don't break away radio.
All of that I was so angry.
And I feel like in that moment
I kind of understood what acting was about.
You know, you just kind of like
let yourself go and actually believe what's going on.
- I didn't do anything
- Randee and Julie,
what was it like being part of a movie called
"The Karate Kid" and having zero scenes involving karate?
- Yeah you kind of felt a little isolated,
but I love Ralph.
Ralph and I just I felt we had clicked from the beginning
- We clicked from the get go
- Hey Chad.
- Hey.
- It's a really interesting part of that film
is how on target the mother the single parent,
and the mom raising her son was be it bullying.
Be it single parenting.
Be it mentorship.
There's a lot of that in there and so with Randee
I had those kind of scenes that weren't
the heightened reality of some of the the other stuff.
And it found its balance if you will.
- Look at those palm trees damn do you know what that means?
- Yeah Watch out for falling coconuts.
- Wise guy.
- Who here is the best at karate out of curiosity?
I think I have my.
Randee?
- [All] Randee (laughter)
- Kick there ass Randee
- Well Ron Thomas is a true sensei.
He was our, he was actually - Really?
He was hiding his karate skills on the on the show too.
Ron tell them about that.
- Yeah, It's a true story.
When my agent said,
you're gonna go audition for this film called,
"The Karate Kid".
My agent said,
"Don't tell them that you're a second degree black belt
because they're looking for actors."
They want to know about your acting.
They want to know they're going to train you anyway
with this guy called named, Pat Johnson.
It wasn't until about, I think six or seven weeks
into training and rehearsing that Pat Johnson
came up to me and said,
"You know some stuff don't cha?"
and I had spilled the beans at that point.
But yeah I was a second degree black belt
but now I'm a sixth degree black belt
and I was a world champion in sports Jiu Jitsu,
not exactly karate but.
- I stopped at white belt by the way
(laugher)
- All right three of my favorite scenes
in this film that I want to talk about really quickly.
Halloween dance leading into the fight.
- Hey there's Daniel
- Where?
- The Shower.
- How do you know?
- I just know
- Every 80s movie known for great montages.
Karate Kid,
in my opinion has the greatest montage of them all
because of Bananarama's Cruel Summer
(whistle blowing)
- And the All Valley Under 18 Karate Championship.
Can you guys walk me through any memories you have
of shooting those scenes?
And Cobra Kai creators,
How important was it for you
to pay off those iconic moments?
- That tournament
and how that ended with something that
when we were thinking about the season one finale,
it was like bringing back the feels from that
and to find those little moments,
you know the moment where you think that Daniel
is going to pull a Mr. Miyagi and you know do that
- Medic
- One thing that's interesting to me
I grew up in the San Fernando Valley.
So every one of those places I had been as a kid,
And you know how like the apartment in friends is
like one of the characters almost after awhile,
to me that's what all those locales were
and I went to high school with Billy.
- We did Shakespeare together in high school.
- We did
- I mean as far as some of the scenes you mentioned Josh.
Appleton was a stickler for rehearsals
for the fight scenes for any kind of rehearsal.
And when it came down to the fight sequences,
in between any acting scenes,
there were always mats laid out
wherever we were shooting to shoot the scene
and then we'd go over.
And Billy and I would run a piece of a fight sequence,
certainly the ending fight and so that stuff was
like a ballet once we got to do it.
When we were ready to shoot that stuff,
we were really ready.
(crowd clamoring)
- He is Quicker. He is wiser. He is stronger.
Karate Kid Part two.
- Please help me welcoming now two of the stars
from "The Karate Kid" Two
Yuji Okumoto and Tamlyn Tomita
as well as famed writer of
the original "The Karate Kid" Trilogy Robert Mark Kamen.
- So Billy took anti aging pills so that's great.
- So you write the masterpiece "The Karate Kid".
How soon after "The Karate Kid" comes out
do they come to you and go,
We want a number two?
- 30 seconds
(laughing)
- Something I figured
Did you have the idea already?
- Truth?
I just wanted to pay somebody to pay for my trip
to go see my teacher in Okinawa.
I made this whole bullshit thing up with a village
and a landing strip and a helicopter pad
to go spend time with my sensei. That's all.
And I learned in the movie business at that time
you could game the system big time.
So I did. - I want to go through this.
You guys suddenly become the new villain
and love interests of the franchise. Respectably.
How did you become a part of "The Karate Kid" franchise?
- I auditioned for John the first time
at the Beverly Hills hotel,
and then I got to fly out to meet Ralph Macchio
and Oh my F God
and I met Pat Merida,
and you know Pat Morida is this, you know,
is this old you know wonderful, crotchety,
Japanese American comedian
and we would make fun of each other and so much fun.
Yeah yeah - There he is.
Heart heart heart - Yay!
- Rule number one karate for defense only
rule a number two first learn rule number one.
- Talk to me for a sec guys about the importance of
two things. To the original cast,
the stuff that you do in the sequel
Was that all picked up for part two
or was that stuff that was already shot for part one?
Got it - Part two was part two.
- But the beginning of part two
was the end of the original script, right?
- The original end of the movie
was the beginning of part two.
That was the original end when John and I looked at
we were looking at the film and looking at the outtakes
and that shot of Pat's face,
it puddled us on the floor.
It was just like the embodiment of this whole film
and how could you not?
And then Bill Conti came in and put the horns in
and it was completely over.
- Who's responsible for the honk noise in the film?
- Honk
- That was Pat real life.
- That was involved into every fart joke,
it had a honk tag yeah.
- That sequence at the end of karate kid two
is the most surreal sequence I think
in any karate kid film.
Chozen coming down the zip line and the drums.
Daniel doing the drum technique.
And then the-
- Live or die man
- Honk it's all magic.
Yuji was that fun going down that thing?
- Well it initially was, right?
right Ralph?
Initially was - Yeah Yeah
- Yuji the first time you saw it
and they asked you to do it you were
here's your face.
What?
- I had no clue about how much slack was on there.
So yeah when I jumped on there it's just like boom.
And it just peeled off in a projectile to the ground.
- Tamlyn and Ralph,
how long did it take you guys to
learn the bum bum bum bum bum bum?
Was there a lot of choreography involved in that?
- Ralph taught me everything. (laughs)
- That drum was shown to me by a man
who just passed in Okinawa.
Probably the greatest living karate man in Okinawa.
A guy named Chokei Kishaba
and he was gonna show me the secret
to all karate when I met him
and he took out this drum
and he did this and I said, "I am so stealing this."
This is a guy who was the most dangerous guy
in all of Okinawa.
And he said, "This is the secret."
And the truth is it is.
And Ralph performed just like the drum.
He was great.
- Incredible from drums to Bonsai's
this trilogy would come full circle in 1989
as Karate Kid Three would complete the cinematic journey
of Daniel LaRusso and Mr. Miyagi.
Please welcome now the cast of Karate Kid Three
Robin Lively,
William Christopher Ford,
Sean Canaan,
and Thomas Ian Griffin as well as Darryl Vidal,
the inventor of the Crane Kick technique and William,
the loser of the semifinal tournament match
to Johnny and the belt.
Hello, everybody. Welcome.
- My screen is now filled with boxes of karate kid icons
- I got so many villains all at once.
- So Thomas, why don't we start with you?
You're such a bad dude in this film.
Tell me about the birth of Terry Silver
and how you came to be the John Crease of your generation.
- I was fortunate enough to meet John Appleston.
I just come out from New York
and it was my the first film I was ever a part of.
- What?
- You know, every step of the way I'm going,
"Is this a little big?"
and John's going,
"No, I want every little kid you in the shins
when this comes out."
You know, he got that.
- And full disclosure, Thomas.
Out of everyone on the cast,
he was the only guy outside of me,
who knew any martial arts.
He was a black belt in at TaeKwonDo or something.
- Or something yeah.Taekwando Yeah.
- Yeah. One of those things.
Thomas was a legitimate martial artist.
- Robin, you are the third leading lady
on this impressive zoom. - Yes!
- Hi
- Tell me Robin,
What was the experience of shooting
Karate Kid Three like for you?
- When I got the audition I was like,
I can't believe this.
I was so excited. I did the screen test.
and I was testing against Heather Graham.
And the minute I saw her, - what?
I said, "Yeah, Oh I'm never going to get this."
She's looks like a doll.
She's like the most beautiful creature I've ever seen.
So just to have the experience with Ralph.
I think we did the macaroni and cheese scene,
was such a dream come true.
And I was so excited.
So when I got it I was just like pinching myself.
- Where did you guys shoot that sequence by the way,
with the water?
That is one of the most beautiful.
I wanna go there.
- Mendocino, the devils punch bowl.
- and then Ralph got a terrible (inaudible) really bad
- On the side of that Hill - yeah terrible
- The palm side tree. - Nice
remember one of the guys on the crew guys say,
"You know you should watch it
there's a little bit of poison oak in there.
So just be careful."
I'm hanging off the cliff all day,
touching everything.
I wake up the next morning.
And I just said to my wife at the time I said,
"My eyes I can't even see they feel swollen."
- And we all thought, Ralph,
you were allergic to being "The Karate Kid" against Sean.
(group chattering)
- William and Shaun I hadn't forgotten about you guys.
So you guys are kind of like the next generation
of Cobra Kai.
The one thing that sticks out to me about the third film
is the amped up nature of the fighting.
Did you guys both come in trained in karate?
And if not, how extensive was your on set training?
- I Had studied Shizuoka karate
from about the time I was 13 years old.
- I'm a black belt in Shizuoka karate.
I was a black belt when I studied production.
I have to say I've been waiting 31 years
to tell Ralph Macchio thank you for giving me my line
in, "Karate Kid Three"
where I pushed you in the bonsai shop.
And he says to a John Abelson,
"Can you give this guy a line
because I need something to play off of."
And John says, "okay, why don't you say 'you take off'."
- You take off
- I never really got to properly Thank you.
So I really do appreciate it Ralph.
- Darryl I haven't forgotten about you.
The creator of the Crane Kick.
- Well, obviously it was the brain child
of Robert Mark Kamen,
who is I'm so happy to see today,
- Darryl, hey.
- Hey, but you know he gave me the idea of the concept of,
you know the injured leg and standing up on one leg
and doing the kick.
Then obviously this part was something that I
had to put together when they told me I had to
do something with my hands.
So that's it.
- Don't be modest Darryl.
I wrote something that nobody in the world could do
and I was sure of it
and this guy comes along and stands on a log and does it.
And I'm like,
Oh this is what movies are about.
You just make shit up and then you do it.
- I didn't realize that everyone in the world
would do it after that so.
(crowd cheering)
- This is now officially the biggest episode
in Reunited Aparts history and about to get even bigger.
It's time for young to meet older,
please welcome the stars of the hit Netflix series,
Cobra Kai.
Mary Mosuer,
Jacob Bertrand,
Xolo Mariduena,
Courtney Henggeler,
Gianni DeCenzo and Peyton List!
Oh my goodness!
- Hi
- Hi nice to see everyone
- Tell me about the experience,
actually all of you guys.
For your generation,
prior to the show did you guys know about it?
Did You watch it?
What was your relationship with it?
- My experience with "The Karate Kid"
was one that was pretty minimal to be quite honest
at the very beginning.
You know, I played tennis a lot as a kid
and my mom would always say when I would wear headbands
that I would look like Ralph Macchio.
And I was always like,
"Who is this? who is this Ralph Macchio guy
and why does he look like me?"
- I had like no experience with "The Karate Kid".
And I told this story I've been very honest with,
especially Ralph about this.
It was my greatest mistake.
I accidentally actually slept through my initial audition
and realized this afterwards cause my boyfriend called me
and was like, "How was your audition?"
And I was like, "what audition?"
He was like, "You had a audition today."
So I was like, "Oh crap."
So I went frantically email my agent my manager,
please fix this.
I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened.
And I actually met Ralph at my chemistry read,
and then went home like two days later.
Got the call. I booked it.
And so my boyfriend and I sat down
and watched all the movies.
- What about you, Jacob?
- My dad had showed me the movies to me and my brother
when I was like 8 years old just kind of like,
it was like a Rite of passage thing.
He wanted to we had to watch it.
So yeah, I was familiar with the movies.
- I had a DVD player growing up
and I only had about five movies
and Karate Kid was one of them.
So I watched it over and over and over again
until my DVD player broke.
- I had seen "The Karate Kid" like a little bit.
It was like a big thing for my dad growing up.
- It makes me really sad
that everybody's referencing their dads
and I'm doing the math.
And I'm like oh I'm one of the dads
- Hey uh Josh, how do you think I feel?
- You guys aren't that old
- Expect my residual stream is great
I love this generational stuff (laugher)
- I was the whole zoom for that line
- How did you guys come up with the idea of Cobra Kai?
- I mean this was a long time coming.
You know, the three of us have been friends
since we were teenagers
and we all separately had our own experiences
with karate kid fell in love with it separately
and bonded over these movies when we first became friends.
So it was always a topic of conversation
and we're in our early twenties,
we were young screenwriters in Hollywood.
And I remember all we do is write all day
and then just watch movies all night.
We were big fans of the franchise,
but also fans of of Billy from not only "The Karate Kid",
but the other movies where he played bully.
So we were always fascinated with him as this kind
of constant bully in the 80s.
And then we remember seeing an interview with him
where he talked about his approach to Johnny Lawrence
and it wasn't,
I'm a bully in this movie.
It was I'm another kid who is in this high school.
Who had a girlfriend who he loved and was trying.
Had one year to make it work
and was trying to turn over a new leaf.
And this, you know, punk from Jersey comes in
and gets involved and steals his girl.
And it threw him off in this whole way.
And I think for the three of us,
we were like,
"Wow, like this is a really interesting thing
that we hadn't really thought much about."
In his mind, he was just the protagonist of his own stories.
- When you watch that movie
there's so many colorful characters
and you see Johnny,
but you see those glimpses of, you know, the humanity there.
And as Miyagi says, you know,
it's uh
What is the teacher quote?
- No such thing as a uh - Bad student
- Only bad teacher.
- Exactly
And we talked about it as a movie,
as a movie for years and - Oh really?
Yeah we thought about it as you know
this great way of doing another Karate Kid movie coming
at it from the Cobra Kai side.
But, you know movies that the movie landscape
was already changing the others go back
probably 15 years now.
And we just felt like it was an uphill battle
to get there as a feature.
Then it was really the advent of streaming, you know,
television and seeing these longer formats that
you know, we're working with a deeper story.
Where you could shift POV's and it made us realize,
you know, that Johnny story can be the way in.
But it can allow us to really turn the camera everywhere.
- They all came up here for the weekend
and I could not get over how genius this was.
I'm still amazed at how brilliant it is
and how brilliant Billy and Ralph have taken
this thing that became an iconic thing
and turned it into this.
I mean they really inhabit the characters
and flip them and it's I just thought it was Genius
- Courtney, I want to get to you
and then we have a very special guest coming on.
but what was it like for you
to be a part of a Karate Kid spin off?
- It's so awkward and weird and uncomfortable.
Mostly because of Ralph. (laughs)
I tell everybody it's the best job I've ever had.
It's I mean, there's literally no one on the crew,
No one in the cast,
no one anywhere near our studio who's bad.
It's just awesome. Everyone's so lovely.
And Ralph I called him Ralph Macchio like full,
like one word for like the first two seasons.
He was like,
"You can just call me, Ralph."
- It turns out That I am not the only super fan
of "The Karate Kid" and Cobra Kai.
It turns out that there are a quite a few super fans.
And one of them happens to be this next guest
who is going to join us for a game of Reunited Apart
Karate Kid Cobra Kai trivia.
Please welcome a woman who needs no introduction.
Amy Schumer.
- Oh my gosh.
Wait you have to let me skim the whole thing. Ah!
- My head is about to explode. We have Karate Kid,
Karate Kid,
Karate kid Two,
Karate Kid Three,
Cobra Kai all on screen right now, Amy.
- I'm I'm I'm shocked.
I'm shocked.
I just both got my period and I'm going through menopause.
You know what's so funny Josh goes,
Josh is like. "Who's a fan of karate kid and Cobra Kai?"
I'm like huge huge. Yes. Yes.
And then also I'm like, he goes, "They're doing it.
Everybody's getting together."
And while I'm typing in, "Even Shue?"
You know, he's writing,
"Yes. Even Elizabeth Shue."
(laughs)
This is so cool.
I love you guys and I'm loving Cobra Kai.
Thank you.
- When was the first time you saw in karate kid?
Do you remember?
- Oh my God.
I just, I mean, I could probably recite it.
Which is what the zoom is about, right?
(group chattering)
You run through it.
In a way that's totally racially sensitive too.
Oh my God. Hi Ralph Maccio!
- Hey Amy Schumer
- God I love you
oh my god William Zabka.
I can't believe this.
I can't handle this.
- Did anybody ever catch, y'all watching "The Karate Kid",
Did you ever catch the t-shirt that Freddie Fernandez
is wearing?
Go back and watch the movie. - We know
Cause I got to wear this t-shirt
- "Makin Bacon" - "Makin Bacon"
- [Amy] Oh yeah of course
- And John said to me,
I had a bet with him.
He said, "It's never going to get past the censors."
Ralph was the only person who noticed it
and he just kinda, you know,
he just looked at it and then it just kind of moved on.
It's one of the, I think it's one
of the great moments in cinema history.
- Amys gonna ask you some trivia that we pulled.
If anybody else has any good trivia, let's hear it.
But Amy, take it away whenever you're ready.
- Okay. These are tough.
And therefore $5 billion each.
Okay?
That's right from Josh Gad,
tapping into the frozen funds.
Which actor was originally turned down for their role
because they were primarily known for comedies?
- Oh, oh, oh
Okay. I'm going to-
oh okay You're hosting. Sorry.
Sorry about that, Josh.
- No, no, Amy, it's yours.
- Courtney! Let's talk about it.
- Pat Morita!
- Ding ding ding!
Josh owes you $5 million. That's right.
It was Pat Mortia.
- Producer Jerry Weintrab felt that the audiences
wouldn't be able to take him seriously in the role.
And boy was he ever wrong.
- Jerry wanted to share him a phony
and he read for it like it was a Kirasaya samurai movie.
I'll tell you something.
The audition Pat came in to read with Ralph.
You remember this Ralph?
And you sat there and your mouth opened
It just opened.
It was like, Oh my God,
why didn't anybody think of this before?
And Jerry who never admitted he was wrong.
Ever.
You know, Ralph, you do a Jerry better than I do.
- Oh, I love it.
- I think I almost made the biggest mistake of my life.
- This is hard.
And this one is controversial.
I'll say it.
It's hard hitting. It's controversial.
- What was Daniel LaRusso's original last name?
- I know that but I'll hold.
- Anyone else?
- Can I win the money?
(group chattering)
- Webber.

that it has Daniel Webber on the script.
- This is a deep cut.

from the original film,

"The Karate Kid" would not be "The Karate Kid"
without the brilliant performance
by that man right there on Robert Kamaen screen

incredible actors I think who's ever graced the screen.

for the late Pat Morita,
as we say our final goodbyes.

Cobra Kai
- That was nice.
Tanner?
We just finished the episode dude.
Where were you?
- I was on a rival episode of your show.

I don't understand

- You just did your own Cobra Kai reunion show?
- No, not my own mine.

here,
on the streets,
in competition.
A man confronts you he's your enemy.
An enemy deserves no mercy.
What is the problem Mr. Gad?
