  *Karate Weiner's 'Ready' Moment*
  1. Weiner stands in his living room, mid-argument with a friend. — ""Why is the door always closed?""
  2. Friend looks confused, unsure why he's so defensive. — ""Because defending my space is a sacred art.""
  3. Weiner crosses his arms, taking a dramatic pause. — ""You here to listen, or test my resolve?""
  4. Weiner perfectly replicates the 'Yoi' pose by the door, ignoring his friend’s worried face. — ""And I’m ready.""

**Yoi (ready)**
  *Yoi (Ready)*
  1. Weiner stands in his typical karate stance – legs wide, arms bent, eyes fixed ahead. His face is a mask of serene determination. — ""Ready when you’re done.""
  2. He attempts to tie his shoes, but the shoelaces slip through his karate grip. His stance remains unfazed. — ""Same thing.""
  3. A neighbor’s dog sniffs his boots, leaving him to contemplate his strategy. — ""Stay calm. Don’t let it catch you off guard.""
  4. Weiner sits on the couch, legs in the air, holding his famous stance. His cat purrs in his lap. — ""Still ready.""
