The Karate Kid franchise was embroidered into the fabric of The Bonfire from the very beginning. It was concerning to hear that actor Martin Kove who plays John Kreese in Cobra Kai was accused of biting his female co-star at a fan convention in which he was asked to leave. Body cam footage shows her giving him an 8 minute dressing-down as her husband and authorities look on. Jay and Bob analyze the tape that takes an odd turn as Alicia Hannah-Kim starts insulting Kove's age. The guys reenact the confrontation focusing on the old-school brain of John Kreese. | A musician from Memphis named Derek Sellers created a new Bonfire theme song which starts this show.

Musician Lamont Landers first got on Bobby's radar because his face doesn't match his soulful voice. Lamont performs 3 songs in studio and does not disappoint. He went from playing his guitar in his Alabama bedroom to playing the stages of America's Got Talent and Showtime At The Apollo. On AGT, he says that Simon Cowell appeared to interrupt him but it was just a pause for editing purposes. Bobby tells a story about having to do stand-up comedy at a college cafeteria because Lamont once had to play songs at a grocery store. Jay believes that Bob was actually raised in a wealthy household and his tough upbringing is just a ruse.
The great Mike Vecchione has a new special on YouTube called "Low Income White"
