Listening now on Spotify, I love it! Out of all your podcasts, I am the most familiar with this subject so I am nerding out big time. Ralph Macchio 4EVA 😍

You may not love the episode because I'm not a huge Macchio fan. 🙈

At one point in the podcast I accidentally called him Ralph Macchiato. Edited it out. Kinda wish I'd left it in 😆

The new Starbucks drink sure to be a bestseller. Move over Pumpkin Spice Latte!

Another great listen/conversation...of course! I didn't stick with Cobra Kai (I think I made it through 3 seasons and a little of the fourth?), but I agree with you that one of my impressions was why they had to make Johnny such a "just doesn't get it loser!" It also seemed like at the end of Karate Kid he was ready to at least move away from the fucked up nature of Kreese's teachings (I did appreciate seeing some of his backstory in the series..the Vietnam angle made some of his macho-grande-douchery make sense). I was also more invested in his character in the series, wanting him to get the wins he deserved, than Ralph Macchiato and his crew. Also: Agree with Marmi on that drink name. MISSED OPPORTUNITY STARBUCKS..AS USUAL!!

Cobra Kai fizzled out basically when you bounced. I stuck with it only for Johnny, and at this point will finish out the series (the final season dropped a few months ago).

Ralph Macchiato 🤦🏼‍♂️🫠😆

My Ralph Macchio movie is Crossroads, but you're making me want to watch Karate Kid again.
