00:11Skadoosh! Skadoosh! Skadoosh! Skadoosh!
00:13So, where did the word skadoosh come from?
00:16I get asked that a lot.
00:17Well, to explain it, which I can,
00:20we have to go way...
00:23way back in history.
00:26Whoa, wait, not that far!
00:27Uh, wait, wait, wait...
00:30There! Right there.
00:31When I was but a lowly waiter in my dad's noodle shop...
00:34Aw, look what a good waiter I was.
00:36Oops.
00:37Okay, so I wasn't that good.
00:40I was a huge fan of the Kung Fu Masters of Legend.
00:44And one of my most favoritest parts was the awesome catchphrases.
00:47Crane would call out,
00:48Wings of Justice!
00:49And Monkey had his four-fisted frenzy!
00:52And Tigress would yell out...
00:55She was actually more of the silent assassin.
00:58I wanted a cool catchphrase so I could be as cool as they were.
01:01But Panda Technique was brand new, right?
01:03And it didn't have any classic moves to call out yet.
01:06So I got to make it up myself.
01:08And I found that Panda Style was all about using your own natural skills.
01:13Just rolling with whatever works.
01:17So after a crazy Panda Style battle with the ferocious Tai Lung,
01:21the moment of victory was at paw.
01:23The Dragon Warrior had his pinky raised to perform the final move.
01:26He opened his mouth to speak his catchphrase.
01:29But nothing cool or amazing or super awesome occurred to him to say.
01:33He drew a blank.
01:35And in that blank, he realized Kung Fu Masters don't have catchphrases in order to sound cool.
01:41They just express what is deep within them.
01:44Their essence of self.
01:47Suddenly, the Dragon Warrior felt something rising from deep down inside him.
01:51A word came up, shooting through his very soul and exploding from his lips as he dropped the pinky!
01:58A word that had never been uttered by any panda or any master.
02:04Skadoosh.
02:07At that moment, that word meant more to me than any other word I knew.
02:11Even food-related words.
02:12It was the ultimate expression of my true self.
02:15And totally Panda Style.
02:17And the rest is, well, Kung Fu history.
02:22Skadoosh.
02:28Skadoosh.
02:29Skadoosh.
02:32Skadoosh.
02:32Skadoosh.
02:32Skadoosh.
02:32Skadoosh.
