Jo tells his parents about Nomèkop.
Nomèkop is a video game series, trading card game, and TV show from RO-Japan. Nomèkop started out as a video game, Nomèkop Red, then evolved into a trading card game and TV show. Nomèkop seems to be a favorite of Jo, both a video game favorite and a TV favorite. When Nomèkop is first mentioned by Jo to Ratchet and Sadie, they have no idea "what the hell he's talking about", but Jo teaches them when they agree to take his so-called class after they defeat Fät Corp.
