Transcript
:

Welcome to last Time on.

:

This is the podcast for people who wanna watch all this prestige

:

television, but who's got time for all

:

I know, I don't.

:

I'm Jair

:

And I am Ben.

:

And we finished Breaking Bad.

:

We Have Broken, and it was actually really good.

:

It's a fantastic show.

:

but we don't really know what happened.

:

No, we got a good idea.

:

We got a great idea and we've made it all up in between.

:

And now we're gonna go through, find out where we

:

were, right, where we were wrong.

:

Read a series synopsis.

:

this one was written by Luper, right before El Camino came out.

:

Okay.

:

So it doesn't have any El Camino stuff.

:

It doesn't have any better callal stuff because that all happened after.

:

so it's just a synopsis of breaking bad, so that way if we decide we want to

:

do something with those later, we can.

:

Great.

:

So we're gonna go through and read this thing, we will note

:

where we think we've been right.

:

No points have actually been scored.

:

Everything will be based off of the synopsis and whether or not if it's

:

something that we scored already that we feel it fits in, wasn't just

:

conjecture, we'll be going from there.

:

Alright, so now we're gonna read this synopsis.

:

in the first episode of Breaking Bad High School Chemistry teacher, Walter White

:

is diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.

:

After finding out from Hank Schrader, his d e a agent brother-in-law,

:

how profitable cooking meth can be.

:

Walt teams up with Jesse Pinkman, a former student to make enough money to

:

provide for his family after he's gone.

:

Unfortunately, Jesse and their batch of newly cooked meth are

:

snatched up by a pair of dealers named Crazy Eight and Emilio

:

the two

:

forced Jesse, to show them to the RV where Walt and Jesse had been

:

cooking, presumably to kill the two and to take their materials.

:

Walt poisons the two of them, but crazy.

:

Eight survives long enough that Walt is forced to kill the meth

:

dealer Did that happen in the pilot?

:

Did he have to go back and shoot Kill crazy eight separately?

:

Okay.

:

So we're into episode two.

:

Territory and things we don't know.

:

Alright,

:

Soon.

:

Walt's family holds an intergen intervention, but not for

:

Walt's secret meth cooking.

:

Instead, they want him to pursue chemotherapy rather than just

:

accept that his cancer is terminal.

:

Ultimately, Walt agrees to seek treatment even though the cost

:

would put his family even further into debt afterwards, while at a

:

birthday party for a former colleague.

:

Walt gets an easy out from the drug business.

:

He's offered a good job, health insurance, and the promise that his cancer

:

treatment will be entirely paid for,

:

Unfortunately, it requires Walt to admit that he needs help and forgive

:

his former partners, Gretchen and Elliot Schwartz, from letting him buy out the

:

company out that they found together.

:

Instead, Walt turns them down and dives even deeper into

:

the drug cooking business.

:

So he had an out three episodes in and was

:

just like, nah, more meth.

:

Yeah.

:

Wal and Jesse make their partnership official with

:

a simple division of labor.

:

Walt will cook while Jesse will sell.

:

Unfortunately, Walt soon learns just how expensive chemotherapy is causing him

:

To push Jesse to increase their sales, Jesse reaches out to a local crime boss.

:

Ooh,

:

Tuco Salamanca.

:

Okay.

:

Yep.

:

To see if he'd be interested in buying larger quantities of the pair's,

:

higher quality meth in order to better fund Walt's cancer Instead, Tuco comes up

:

with a better idea, which involves beating the crap outta Jesse and stealing the

:

meth that Pinkman was planning to sell.

:

Walt moves

:

in to handle Tuco using his chemistry skills to prepare an

:

explosive to intimidate Tuco ther.

:

Impressed and

:

amused.

:

Tuco agrees to work with Walt and Jesse.

:

The two make a deal with Tuco, that they'll make meth for him to sell well.

:

He pays them enough to make it worth their while.

:

And for Walt to undergo chemotherapy to try and tackle his cancer in

:

order to keep his identity a secret.

:

Wal DPPs, the persona of Heisenberg after the themed theoretical

:

physicist who's known for the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle.

:

And for a while it seems like Walt will be able to keep his second

:

job a secret from his family.

:

Unfortunately, Tuco is about as stable as a meth kingpin can be.

:

When said, kingpin also indulges in a meth habit of his own.

:

Yeah, we, which we saw

:

season one of Breaking Bad ends with Tuco brutally killing one of

:

his own men for a perceived slight, which leaves Walt and Jesse terrified at what

:

their now partner might do to Walton Jesse's issues with Tuco soon evolve into

:

more than just personality differences.

:

After a personality fit in which he believes the d e a is closing in on him,

:

Tuco kidnaps Walt and Jesse to force them to continue cooking meth for him.

:

while being held hostage, Walt and Jesse nearly managed to poison Tuco with Ryon.

:

But Tuco's mute,

:

wheelchair bound Uncle Hector alerts them to the plan.

:

Luckily, they're saved.

:

When Hank following a tip, while looking for Jesse stumbles onto Tuco

:

and shoots him during a shootout.

:

That's what we said.

:

That is what we said.

:

That's nice.

:

That feels good.

:

That feels real good.

:

Having barely survived the run-in with a real criminal

:

underworld and narrowly escaping Hank's.

:

Hank's detection.

:

Jesse and Walt tried to take a break from a meth business.

:

Jess Jesse shacks up with a prostitute friend of his to provide an alibi when

:

the cops come looking for him while white, while Walt Feigns stressed induced amnesia

:

to explain his extended disappearance.

:

Okay.

:

Do you think that's Kristen Ritter?

:

That is absolutely Kristen Ritter.

:

Okay.

:

Walt tries to reconnect with his family when they become worried about his

:

health after his fugue state, but that only brings up more underlying issues

:

with his wife Skylar, with a baby on the way and Walt's ongoing instability,

:

not to mention secretive behavior.

:

She doesn't trust him even when he seems to be doing okay.

:

Meanwhile, Jesse finds himself out of a house and out of friends after the

:

double whammy of being kidnapped and drawing the interest of the d e a.

:

As a result, he pushes Walt to resume cooking.

:

On the other side of the law, Hank's killing of Tuco leads to a sizable

:

promotion for him, but it also causes a heaping amount of stress

:

and anxiety after the shootout.

:

so I'm thinking the, maybe the person that he saw get killed that was giving him all

:

that stress wasn't in El Paso or maybe El.

:

That El Paso was them.

:

Stopping Tuco.

:

I think that's what it was.

:

Whatever went down in El Paso was a crazy gunfight.

:

Alright.

:

Walt and Jesse try to establish themselves in the power vacuum created by Tuco's

:

death operating as cooks and distributors within Tuco's former territory.

:

Unfortunately, that increased power comes with increased scrutiny when

:

one of their drug dealers is robbed.

:

Walt gives Jesse a gun and tells him to take care of it.

:

Which Jesse does in a sense.

:

Mm-hmm.

:

In a series of, in an accidental series of events,

:

leaving Jesse with a reputation as a cold-blooded killer, which seems

:

to establish Heisenberg as a genuine power player on the home front.

:

Things are getting tricky as the cover for all of his meth money Walt has been

:

telling Skylar that Gretchen and Elliot had been paying for his cancer treatments,

:

but when Gretchen finds out about the lie, she tells Skylar that she won't

:

be paying for any more therapy, leaving Walt to search for another cover story.

:

On top of all that, Walt and Jesse end up attracting attention

:

from the law after Badger, one of their drug dealers is arrested.

:

With the help of Saul Goodman, a local criminal lawyer, they devise

:

a plan to trick the D e A into arresting a fake Heisenberg, freeing

:

badger, and taking the heat off Walt.

:

The plan goes smoothly.

:

Although Hank, who's becoming obsessed with Heisenberg and his blue meth remains

:

convinced that something is hey, waltz is making money and Jesse's ongoing

:

romance with his neighbor and landlord.

:

Jane Margolis continues to go well, even though she realizes he's a drug dealer.

:

That he, and when he realizes she's in recovery for addiction, so

:

everything's going to turn out fine.

:

Right?

:

Okay.

:

Jane is Kristen Ritter.

:

Okay.

:

After one of Jesse's drug dealer friends is killed by a rival gang,

:

Jesse and Walt realize they aren't cut out to manage a crew of drug dealers.

:

So with Saul's help, Walt and Jesse find a distributor for their surplus meth.

:

The mysterious buyer, Gus ffr is a fast food franchise owner and model

:

citizen who uses his role as the public face of Los Polos Romanos

:

to disguise his illicit activities.

:

That level of secrecy extends to his employees, and when Jesse shows up to

:

a meeting high, Gus doesn't think that Jesse's competent enough to handle the

:

work and the kingpin might have a point.

:

When Walt gets noticed that Gus needs their drugs on short notice, he finds

:

that Jesse's completely incapacitated from his drug use and unable to make the drop.

:

Unfortunately, Walt is also needed at the hospital where Skylar is in

:

labor delivering their daughter.

:

Walt ultimately chooses to make the delivery missing the birth of his

:

child, but he nets over a million dollars for him and Jesse to split.

:

However, Walt refuses to pay Jesse his share until he gets clean.

:

Since Jane and Jesse have escalated to sharing heroin in their free time,

:

see she becomes a problem.

:

The

:

P, desperate for the cash.

:

After her father nearly takes her to rehab, Jane Blackmails Walt

:

into giving them money immediately.

:

Walt does, but finds himself coming back to check on Jesse

:

and trying to get him help.

:

While shaking is sleeping, Jesse Walt accidentally knocks an unconscious

:

chain onto her back and when she starts to choke on her own vomit.

:

He watches her die without interfering.

:

Fuck damn.

:

Okay.

:

Weeks later, Jane's father in air traffic controller lets two planes collide over

:

the skies of Albuquerque in his grieving state, showing that Walt's actions have

:

far reaching and devastating consequences.

:

Okay.

:

This reminds me of a thing I had heard.

:

Mm-hmm.

:

Do

:

you wanna know something incredibly sad just with our math?

:

Sure.

:

Tuco is in a grand total of four episodes of this show.

:

Okay.

:

Okay.

:

Do you know who's also in four episodes of this show?

:

And we never got to see?

:

I looked it up after we recorded last time.

:

John Delancey.

:

Really?

:

John

:

Delancey, I believe is the dad.

:

Oh man.

:

missed, we missed Q Man,

:

Now we're really going back and watching this.

:

Uh, at least I am.

:

also this is where I found out that Skinny Pete

:

is in 15 episodes of this show.

:

Breaking Bad Season three features both of the perennial down

:

on their luck meth cooks more or less out of the business, Jesse's in rehab

:

and blames himself for Jay's death while Skyler's taken the kids and

:

moved out, leaving Walt to contemplate what he's still working towards.

:

Skyler finds out the truth that Walt is a meth cook and offers him an ultimatum.

:

Agree to a divorce or she'll tell Hank,

:

Things get even more complicated when Gus shows up with a new offer.

:

3 million for three months work in a state-of-the-art

:

We

:

saw that.

:

Walt refuses in the moment, but is ar, but trouble is arriving from

:

Mexico in the form of blood thirsty twins looking to enact vengeance on Heisenberg.

:

Walt's attempt to get out of the drug business aren't encouraged by anyone.

:

Saul wants him to get back to cooking while Skyler is horrified

:

by what he, what he's already done.

:

Unbeknownst to Walt Gus strikes a deal with the twins who are Tuco's

:

cousins out for revenge to keep Walt alive for Gus's own purposes.

:

Meanwhile, Jesse makes his own batch of meth authoring to sell

:

it to Gus against Walt's wishes.

:

Gus accepts the deal knowing that Walt's pride will bring him back to

:

the meth cooking business, a prediction that's ultimately proven right.

:

Walt accepts Gus's offer and pushes Jesse out of the business.

:

While Hank finds clues that are starting to lead him to Jesse,

:

So Walt's feeling like a new man with his condo and

:

hidden factory for cooking meth.

:

Even better.

:

He's got a new eager to please assistant Gail.

:

, boacher.

:

There we go.

:

Yep.

:

Who seems like a serious upgrade compared to Jesse.

:

Unfortunately.

:

Waltz, brought Jesse, waltz brought back.

:

Ah, unfortunately Waltz brought back into Jesse's orbit when Hank accidentally warns

:

Walt that he's closing in on their old rv.

:

Walton Jesse managed to distract Hank away from their old cook site

:

with a phony call that alleges his wife, Marie, is in the hospital.

:

Things get even worse for Hank when Gus forced to bargain with the twins, offers

:

them Hank's life instead of Heisenberg's.

:

On the basis that Hank is, the one who actually killed their cousin Tuco,

:

which makes sense like, oh, I don't wanna kill the guy who killed my cousin.

:

I want the guy behind it.

:

think you'd want the guy who killed your cousin.

:

Mm-hmm.

:

believing Jesse to be behind the fake phone call Hank attacks Jesse

:

Savagely beating him after Jesse threatens to use the illegal beating

:

to make Hank's life miserable.

:

Walt tries to placate Jesse, offering him a job in the meth lab.

:

Jesse accepts the deal, which means Walt has to fire Gail.

:

Why can't you just have two assistants?

:

I don't know, about this time.

:

the, Akia twins attack Hank, but the de agent kills one and

:

puts the other in the hospital.

:

Although he's wounded himself, Walton Jesse resumed their cooking

:

for Gus, although Jesse begins to take some of the excess product

:

in order to sell it on the side.

:

Man, that's dumb.

:

is dumb.

:

With Walt making plenty of money and Hank's Hospital bills stacking

:

up, Skyler agrees to pay for his recovery.

:

Yep.

:

with the cover story that Walt Smith money is actually earnings from a gambling Yep.

:

so that's why he tells, Walt Junior that he's

:

Yeah.

:

Yep.

:

but things never run smoothly for long.

:

In Breaking Bad.

:

After getting involved with Andrea tlo, a woman at his Narcotics Anonymous in

:

meetings, Jesse is horrified to discover that the drug dealers who killed his

:

friend last season were also using Andrea's 11 year old brother to sell meth

:

Oh,

:

Skyler now fully aware of Walt's criminal enterprises hatches a plan

:

to safely launder their money through the car wash that Walt Walt once worked at.

:

Meanwhile, Jesse's moving on the drug dealers first by asking Walt

:

to prepare rice and poison, then by threatening to kill them anyway that

:

he can with or without Walt's help.

:

His plan is interrupted by Gus Ring, who's known about Jesse's plan the entire time.

:

The three of them have a meeting where Gus tells the drug

:

dealers to stop using children.

:

In response, they kill Andrea's brother and Jesse responds by driving up

:

with a gun of his own to act revenge.

:

He's saved by Walt who kills the dealer, who kills the dealers, putting

:

his own relationship with Gus at risk.

:

So that's why he talks about driving his car into a bunch of gang bangers.

:

Yep.

:

Jesse goes into hiding while Walt begins to suspect that Gail,

:

who's returned to replace Jesse is operating under orders from Gus to fully

:

replicate Walt's meth formula so the kingpin can get rid of Walt for good.

:

With the help of Saul, Walt lays a trap for Gus giving Jesse enough time

:

to murder Gail, ensuring that the drug Lord won't be able to kill them

:

without crippling his meth operation.

:

Their plan more or less works.

:

But Gus responds by isolating himself entirely from Walton Jesse.

:

instead all communication will be handled by his fixer.

:

Mike.

:

Erman Trout.

:

Erman Trout.

:

As a result, both Walt and Jesse begins spiraling into darkness.

:

Walt decides to buy a gun in case he needs to kill Gus before Gus kills him.

:

And while dealing with serious guilt over Gail, Jesse starts

:

throwing money into the wind.

:

Jesse's unhinged.

:

Depressed behavior is bad news for Mike and Guss.

:

So Mike begins taking the young chemist on some of his errand

:

runs in attempt to provide a bit more purpose to Jesse's life.

:

Jesse's not the only one acting erratic though.

:

When Gail's body is discovered, law enforcement assumes that he's Heisenberg.

:

Oh.

:

And that nearly throws Hank off the trail until Walt's ego gets in the way

:

and he convinces his brother-in-law that Heisenberg is still out there.

:

You fucking

:

See,

:

it's them that they are their own worst enemies.

:

They are.

:

I never disagreed with you on They are their own worst enemies.

:

Yeah.

:

No one ever Trying to turn them in though is a different With Hank renewing

:

his investigations in the Heisenberg and Gus Spring, Walter is spending

:

money wildly even buying a sports car for his handicap son, Walt Junior.

:

But while he's also worried about Gus's vengeance, but while he's.

:

While he's also still worried about Gus's vengeance, Walt convinces Jesse to kill

:

Gus with Ryson hidden in a cigarette.

:

But Jesse misses the opportunity, so they almost kill people with Ryon

:

like a dozen times, but never do it.

:

So it's actually rice in and not thermite.

:

Well, they never,

:

I, I like our version better.

:

Me too.

:

However, Gus has other fish to fry besides Walt has a meeting with the

:

cartel, involves completing a decades law vendetta with Hector, Salamanca.

:

Oh,

:

okay.

:

So Hector is related to Tuco then?

:

Yes.

:

Okay.

:

Who killed Gus's business partner years earlier?

:

The cartel is soon destroyed in an epic massacre.

:

Yes,

:

with Jesse's usefulness proven on the trip.

:

Gus asked him to take over the lab in Walt Stead.

:

Gus then tells Walt two pieces of very bad news, first Watt's out with the

:

understanding that the only reason he's even alive is due to Jesse's intervention.

:

Second, Gus is going to kill Hank for investigating him with worse

:

consequences for Walt and his family.

:

If ever anyone interferes.

:

Around this time, Andrea's son Brock ends up in the hospital

:

with a flu-like illness.

:

And when Jesse finds the ryson hidden in his cigarette gone, he blames

:

Walt thinking that he poisoned Walt convinces him that it was Gus and the

:

two agree to kill the drug, Lord Ul ultimately succeeding with the help of

:

Hector and his explosive wheelchair.

:

Okay, so they do, they do thermite him.

:

next Gus is dead.

:

The underground laboratory is destroyed.

:

Hey, some points.

:

Uh, and Walton Jesse both managed to survive.

:

However, Gus kept a laptop with security footage of the lab.

:

And with Gus's death, it has been confiscated by the police, Walt teams

:

up with Jesse and a reluctant Mike now healed from his cartel shootout to wipe

:

the laptop and keep them out of jail.

:

The plan goes smoothly, but their use of a giant magnet accidentally

:

reveals some of Gus's hidden bank accounts, giving the police a fresh

:

lead on fringe's secret meth empire.

:

It's also revealed that Walt did, It's also revealed that Walt really did poison

:

Brock in order to turn Jesse against Gus, and that Walt has no intention

:

of stopping his criminal activities.

:

With Gus out of the way, Walt sees the potential for a replacement

:

in the criminal underworld.

:

Gus ran a massive organization with multi-state distribution, and Walt

:

believes that he, Jesse and Mike are just the men who can fill the shoes.

:

Mike initially refuses.

:

But with the police seizing Gus's secret accounts, his own savings are

:

compromised, which forces him to work with Walton Jesse With the help of Lydia,

:

RAR Quail, an executive at Madrigal, an international conglomerate with ties to

:

Gus's old organization, the Three Men Plan to take over the distribution of Gus's

:

Empire with Lydia, Mike, and Saul's help.

:

Walt and Jesse start a new operation moving their meth lab from house to house

:

under the guise of a pest removal However, heavy is the head that wears the crown.

:

And even though Walt is now the boss of a huge business that comes with

:

a so assorted costs, like payouts to the pest removal company, to his

:

partners and Augusta's, former men serving prison prison sentences, in

:

order to keep their silence, Walt bristles against these payouts.

:

Jesse ultimately convinces him to let it lie still.

:

Walt's success in business comes with a failure in his personal life.

:

Skylar is becoming increasingly depressed and horrified by Walt

:

and Wal sown Separation between his Heisenberg identity and his

:

day-to-day life are becoming blurred.

:

When d, when the d e A begins tracking one of the key ingredients, for

:

their meth business at Madrigal, Lydia offers them an alternative.

:

A daring train robbery that if executed properly, will mean enough

:

methymine for plenty of cooks in order to make their operation go smoothly.

:

Walton and Jesse bring in Todd Alquist Boo Boo.

:

Todd.

:

Todd, one of the pest removal employees.

:

The robbery seems to go smoothly, but it ends in tragedy.

:

When the trio notice a young boy watching them as they celebrate their desert

:

heist, Todd immediately shoots the kid.

:

Which forces Walt and Jesse and Todd to dispose of the body in a

:

barrel full of hydrochloric acid.

:

Although the team managed to get away with all the

:

methymine they could need, the boy's death weighs heavily on Jesse.

:

When Mike tries to buy out of the business on the basis that increased d

:

e a surveillance is too much for him.

:

Jesse tries to leave too.

:

However, Mike's buyer for his share of the Methymine will only

:

accept all of it or none of it.

:

Since the offer is contingent on getting rid of the blue meth that Walt makes, Walt

:

refuses to give up on his criminal empire.

:

Since with Skylar becoming increasingly horrified he has nothing left but his

:

money and his criminal reputation.

:

Walt eventually manages to convince the buyer to take over

:

his distributor for his meth while buying out Mike's share of Methymine.

:

Mike agrees to continue paying for Gus's imprisoned men out of his

:

own share, but his plan is steamed.

:

When the d e A catches lawyer making the money drops, Mike's forced to flee town.

:

But Walt refuses to let him leave unless he gives up the name of

:

Gus's men so that Walt to talk.

:

The two men argue and Walt shoots Mike to death before remembering that

:

Lydia also has access to information.

:

Oh

:

With the help of Todd's uncle who runs a crew of neo-Nazis.

:

Walt has Gus's men killed before Hank can get to them to give up any

:

information on Heisenberg with his business safe and Todd proving to be

:

an adept lab Walt Rakes in the cash for months before finally retiring.

:

That is until Hank finds a book given to Walt by Gail on the toilet, and

:

finally connects all the pieces.

:

Even though Walt is retired with plenty of

:

money, Hank is on his trail.

:

In response, Skylar and Walt Concoct an elaborate cover story alleging that

:

Hank was actually Heisenberg all along, using the fact that Hank's, medical bills

:

were paid for with meth money as proof.

:

But just before leaving town to start a new life, Jesse realizes

:

that Walt was actually behind Brock's poisoning, which sends him on a

:

crusade against his former partner.

:

Hank picks Jesse up before he can burn down the white household.

:

And the two join forces to gather evidence to take out Walt.

:

Together they trick Walt into revealing where he stashed his drug money and

:

desperate Walt calls his former neo-Nazi partners For help the Neo-Nazis arrive,

:

kill Hank, kidnapped Jesse and Gomez.

:

They killed Gomez.

:

Why are you leaving Gomez out of this?

:

He's the most important character,

:

intending to use him to cook the blue meth for their own criminal organization.

:

Walt goes into the criminal equivalent of the Witness Protection Program.

:

But after seeing Elliot and Gretchen Schwartz on TV denying

:

his involvement in the company he co-founded, he comes to wrap up.

:

he comes back to wrap up his loose ends.

:

He forces Elliot and Gretchen to launder the rest of his drug money for his family.

:

And he admits to Skyler that everything he did was for himself instead of for

:

his family, as he so often claimed.

:

He then heads up to the neo-Nazi compound, kills the skinheads and ultimately

:

saves Jesse's life in the process.

:

Dying of blood loss from a stray bullet.

:

Is it a stray bullet when you have a robot machine gun?

:

Um, and his own inevitable death from cancer?

:

Walt collapses in the neo-Nazis meth labs surrounded by chemical equipment as

:

the police arrived, and really for a man who loved cooking meth so much, it's the

:

perfect way to end the Breaking Bad story.

:

Alright.

:

Ted is not even in this recap.

:

Neither is Gomez.

:

Yeah, we don't know anything about Marie's kleptomania.

:

Uh,

:

Nope.

:

So we're just gonna have to go on our gut.

:

Alright.

:

And go through these predictions and score 'em up.

:

Let's see.

:

Jesse is gonna get shot.

:

That didn't happen.

:

Walt cheats on his wife.

:

No Walter's cancer diagnosis is incorrect.

:

No nothing for me from the first episode.

:

Skyler never actually writes anything.

:

You get that point?

:

That's, that was your daytime.

:

Yep.

:

One point.

:

Yep.

:

Bogen gets a run over by a car in the car wash.

:

It's a feel good moment.

:

Not happen.

:

and Gomez is murdered violently by Hank.

:

did not happen.

:

No.

:

Uh, episode two, let's see.

:

Jesse accidentally spills a bag of meth because it isn't sealed.

:

That totally happened.

:

Hey, if I don't get bogged in, you don't get,

:

oh, come on.

:

That totally actually happened.

:

Bogged in is pure conjecture.

:

This is a thing that we've both admitted has happened.

:

Fine.

:

Um, Marie comes over to visit and steals Walt hat.

:

That doesn't happen.

:

Hank catches.

:

Walt Walt cuts him in on the operation.

:

No, he doesn't catch him.

:

But Hank does benefit from the

:

That's no.

:

investigation slows because of it, but it is not a.

:

On purpose.

:

He's not aware.

:

No.

:

Uh, Togo ends up working for Walt.

:

No.

:

Hank chooses between Marie's Club Dominion's job.

:

No.

:

no one ever actually tries to turn.

:

Walt and Jesse in every problem is because of their own paranoia.

:

Naivete.

:

No one tries to turn them in.

:

Hank is very actively investigated them

:

The cops are chasing them.

:

No one is trying, oh, the only person who's trying to turn Walt in is Jesse.

:

No, Hank is trying to catch him.

:

That's not turning them in.

:

That is

:

How is that not, I'm a co, I'm, I am a d e

:

A agent investigating them.

:

That's, that is different than somebody snitching

:

on That is somebody turning you in.

:

Not I investigated

:

so someone snitches on them.

:

That's what you meant to write.

:

No.

:

That's what turning you, uh, turning you in is I know about the, the criminal

:

conspiracy because I see you doing it.

:

investigating it from the police side.

:

Okay?

:

That's

:

what turning somebody in means.

:

okay?

:

If you make the police doing their jobs exempt from

:

that's not turning somebody in.

:

That's.

:

Catching someone.

:

It's different.

:

No one tries to turn them in,

:

But we do know Jesse tries to turn

:

kid.

:

Well, no.

:

Well, no, that's actually not true at all because they pay off

:

Gus's people to not turn them in.

:

That's a whole plot point for the last season.

:

you pay them off.

:

It's not we're paying them off.

:

'cause they're trying to turn you in.

:

It's you pay them off so that.

:

They're comfortable in prison.

:

What is that?

:

Is different.

:

No, it's not.

:

It's they're not, it's they're not paying, they're not paying loss.

:

So they're comfortable in prison.

:

They're paying loss so they don't turn them in.

:

Well that is a,

:

that is stated explicitly.

:

That's hush money.

:

That's

:

a common hush.

:

Money is different than I am going to turn

:

you.

:

No, no, because hush money wouldn't be hush money without

:

the threat of turning you in.

:

That is, it is a common, it is a common.

:

Organized crime thing to I pay you money while you're in prison

:

for not talking about the rest

:

stuff, you know?

:

Yes, yes.

:

That is turning someone in.

:

I don't, no, it is

:

not.

:

Yes, it's, no it's not.

:

That is the definition of what you just said.

:

That is a criminal saying, Hey, I'm gonna tell you about Heisenberg now

:

to get my prison sentence reduced.

:

Yeah.

:

Nobody is threatening to do that.

:

They are preemptively paying people

:

Preem.

:

That is

:

so, because they preemptively pay

:

No,

:

what I'm saying is narratively no one is like, I'm going,

:

I'm about to go turn you in.

:

And they have to react to that.

:

God, if I don't give you this point, is our friendship over?

:

I'm not getting the point because Jesse tries to turn Walt in.

:

We are just very much in disagreement of what turning somebody in means.

:

That's

:

I don't get that point.

:

That is fine.

:

Alright.

:

Yeah.

:

Jesse works with the d e a at

:

Jesse works with the d e a to try to catch Walt

:

that is turning somebody in.

:

Okay.

:

Okay.

:

Uh, let's see.

:

Uh, the lab upgrade.

:

I get a point, Skyler finds out about the Walt.

:

I get two points.

:

They lose the baby.

:

I do not get any points.

:

two I have Kristen Ritter becomes a capital problem

:

daytime.

:

Yep.

:

the RV explodes.

:

They don't say how they get rid of the rv,

:

But they get rid of the

:

They get rid of the rv.

:

I'm willing to give you that

:

I, I think the RV

:

I think the RV explodes.

:

It's it's way too fun for the RV to not explode.

:

And, uh, skinny Pete is never seen, but is

:

called at least three more times.

:

He was one of the main characters.

:

Apparently.

:

Walt and Jesse bury the hatchet and cook together again.

:

Yeah.

:

That happened.

:

Walt and Skyler get back together.

:

That happens.

:

Walt and Jesse's rift deepens leading them become rivals on the meth scene.

:

We did find out, Gus does make this happen to convince Walt to cook again, but

:

but they are never actively cooking at the same time

:

for different

:

each other.

:

Yeah.

:

They are played against each other within the same

:

Okay.

:

Okay.

:

well, Jesse and Walt reconcile, they're both

:

back in the rv, but to live No.

:

And Gus becomes a chicken magnet and leaves drug behi drugs behind.

:

No, I wish.

:

He was already a chicken magnate.

:

Saul changes his name to Sal.

:

Doesn't happen.

:

We never see Mike again.

:

Doesn't happen.

:

Gomez returns to finish the job.

:

Hank can't, doesn't

:

they kill Gus in an incredibly over the top fashion.

:

that happens.

:

That happens.

:

A exploding wheelchair.

:

Yep,

:

yep, yep.

:

That counts.

:

Mike kills a lot of people all at once.

:

he's there for it, but he didn't do it.

:

And Wal and Jesse blow up the lab.

:

Yep.

:

That happens.

:

that was a

:

pointer, wasn't it?

:

Yeah,

:

that was a three pointer.

:

Alright.

:

Hank keels up and gets on the back on the trail of Walton Jesse.

:

happens.

:

That happens.

:

Mike a abandons Gus to work for Jesse and Walt.

:

That does happen, and then Skyler gets killed.

:

That does not happen.

:

Nope.

:

Uh, Skyler kills Ted, what are we gonna do about this one?

:

Are we gonna look it up?

:

We can look it up.

:

Let's look it up real I'll put a little girl from me in here

:

just

:

Google Ted.

:

Breaking bad.

:

Scroll to the end of what happens.

:

Yeah, Ted Breaking bad death came up, so maybe the actor

:

Oh,

:

If it's like Marie kills Ted, I'm going to be so mad.

:

Okay.

:

Ted runs past Huel in an effort to escape from headfirst It appears he may have So

:

he hurts himself running from Hue when Skylar predict Ted will never walk again

:

So he is just left

:

a para.

:

he's cri.

:

Okay.

:

Well I'm fine with that.

:

Fuck Ted.

:

Saul has a full, uh, mental breakdown, probably, um mm-hmm.

:

And Gus finally gets on top only for someone else to rip his whole

:

organization down and kill him.

:

That happens.

:

Yep.

:

That was the three pointer there at the end.

:

Yep.

:

I got Todd dies.

:

Yep.

:

Walt Jr.

:

Learns the truth about his dad.

:

Pretty sure that happens.

:

Yes.

:

Then, uh, Hank kills Walt and adopts the baby.

:

Nope.

:

we are getting more points than I anticipated.

:

I think it's a testament to how good this show

:

I, I think so too.

:

Hank and Marie keep the baby.

:

No.

:

Flynn learns what his dad, uh, is doing, but not Skylar's involvement.

:

Yep.

:

That seems to be the case.

:

a point.

:

It's two points for you.

:

Yep.

:

And the gang frames and kills Lydia.

:

They just killed

:

Yep.

:

Alright, and final predictions.

:

Rest in peace.

:

Saul Goodman,

:

maybe

:

I'm gonna look it up real quick here.

:

Oh God, that's not his name.

:

Why?

:

Wikipedia article.

:

Nope.

:

Nope.

:

He makes it.

:

I don't

:

have to read the article.

:

Status alive.

:

Okay.

:

Incarcerated for 86 years.

:

Oh, he gets caught.

:

He gets caught.

:

So I'm gonna say he did totally have a nervous breakdown then.

:

Alright, rest in peace.

:

Jesse Pinkman.

:

We see him survive.

:

And then Walter White, rest in peace.

:

My final points for the season putting me at 15.

:

Okay.

:

I have Walt dies.

:

Hank dies.

:

That's two points

:

we're gonna quibble on this one.

:

Everyone dies.

:

well, Ben,

:

here's what I'm gonna say.

:

So many people are dead.

:

So many people are dead, but they're Nazis.

:

And Nazis aren't people.

:

No,

:

but our of our, our main characters, most of our main characters are dead.

:

Most of the main characters are dead or incarcerated.

:

They're all taken off the table, but that's the finale.

:

Um, I will say it doesn't matter, Ben, because even without those,

:

you're at 16 points beating me by one.

:

Ah,

:

Ah,

:

so it's your pick regardless.

:

So if you want the three points, you can have 'em.

:

Nah, that's okay

:

you don't need 'em

:

there's still people alive.

:

All

:

Skinny, Pete made it

:

skinny, Pete

:

made it, maybe not in El Camino, but.

:

If

:

T b d

:

if you would've just said, Hey, uh, what's the over under on skinny

:

Pete making it out of this one alive?

:

I would've said, oh, he's not making, so,

:

alright, well Ben, you'll get to pick our next show,

:

but we're gonna watch season three, episode 10, fly next week.

:

Before we do our thanks, final thoughts on the show?

:

This show was excellent.

:

This show was like, this is one of those things where,

:

Sometimes like you don't do a thing for a long time and then it becomes like

:

a thing that you just haven't done.

:

Like, yeah.

:

Yeah.

:

I never watched Breaking Bad.

:

My life is fine and full without it.

:

It's just like, but it was really good

:

was really good.

:

Um,

:

Like I'm a ha, I have, I live a happy life full of friends and my son,

:

but Breaking Red was really good that.

:

really good.

:

Um, I, I will propose that at this point we do a, are you going

:

to go back and watch it all?

:

And I think the answer for me is definitely yes.

:

I, I am definitely tempted.

:

I, I do appreciate a show who's just like, all right, so we've

:

gone from crazy meth dealers.

:

Let's, how, let's ratchet that up.

:

We crazy meth cartels.

:

How do we, uh, how do we come, how do, like, how do we beat meth cartels?

:

Meth Nazis, meth

:

Meth Nazis is how you do it.

:

Job well done.

:

Yeah.

:

just a super interesting show.

:

Yeah.

:

lots of

:

man, Walt watching Kristen Ritter dies.

:

Shaking me right

:

now too.

:

yeah.

:

Uh, Plane crashes being a thing.

:

Yeah.

:

I did not expect this to be a show involving plane crashes.

:

Yeah.

:

Ugh.

:

But for sure, I think, I think this was it.

:

I think we, as a proof of concept for this show, I think we have failed

:

because this was such a

:

because this was so good.

:

and I wonder if for the next show that we do, if it is not as good, if it is harder

:

to follow, if it is more ridiculous in our predictions, if we are completely,

:

wildly wrong about a bunch of stuff.

:

alternatively, if I'm like, man, I'm glad I only watched seven episodes of blank.

:

is also something that could happen.

:

So I don't feel like it, this podcast has saved me time.

:

Yeah.

:

Which was one of the goals.

:

but as far as, getting me to actually finally watch Breaking Bad.

:

Yeah.

:

Happening.

:

Well now I'm going to have to spend our next, uh, next week

:

ruminating on, what our next show is going to be, because I have to remember

:

that as much fun as it might be to do something at you, I have to watch it too.

:

So, uh,

:

yeah.

:

So no mushroom hunter or

:

Yeah . Or like, no.

:

Uh, Hey, we're going to watch this obscure, uh, azerbaijani soap

:

opera that ran for 5,000 episodes.

:

We will be keeping the two episodes of season math,

:

so the dice we roll will change.

:

Mm-hmm.

:

So if it's like a 26 episode, a season thing,

:

the, the rolls will be the roles

:

will be hypothetically higher?

:

Yeah.

:

It'll be hypothetically higher.

:

If it's shorter seasons or shorter overall episodes.

:

we'll talk about that when we get there.

:

Yeah.

:

Just like if it's like one piece or something that has 50 seasons

:

or something stupid, whatever that anime's on a thousand plus episodes.

:

Maybe we set it to one episode a season or something.

:

Or even in that case, maybe one episode every other season.

:

Yeah.

:

like if I decided to be like, okay, we're watching, uh, dark Shadows.

:

Oh, the original one?

:

Yeah.

:

I was thinking one of the CW

:

No,

:

I was talking about the original, like actual soap

:

opera, but we were just vampires

:

Oh.

:

True

:

Blood.

:

not True Blood.

:

I've seen the first season of True Blood.

:

It's out

:

okay.

:

really, really mad.

:

Okay.

:

Mm.

:

Not my gig.

:

Uh, but no, this, breaking Bad was amazing.

:

some wonderful actors doing some wonderful acting.

:

Oh yeah.

:

I'm actually kind of looking forward to watching a worse show.

:

Yeah,

:

I.

:

I don't wanna say that we weren't funny.

:

I feel like we made some good jokes.

:

but it was hard.

:

Yeah.

:

Sometimes it was just like, oh man, this was so great and this

:

was so great and this was so great.

:

And it's like, maybe we need to watch Baywatch nights.

:

I, uh, I have this problem on Who are you occasionally as well?

:

Uh, which is my Babylon five watch cast, listener.

:

If you were unfamiliar, And Laura and I, my co-host there, we've talked about

:

this at length too, where it's like sometimes an episode is just so busy or

:

just so good that it's hard to stop and make dick and fart jokes at its expense.

:

And some of the funniest episodes come from some of the worst shows.

:

Yeah.

:

And that was not only did we watch an excellent show, but

:

we also randomly rolled into banger.

:

After banger after banger.

:

Well,

:

like now, knowing what happens in this show, knowing the plot points that

:

we saw that were important and what we saw and wasn't, and also looking

:

at the top 10 lists, I would not believe us that we randomly rolled

:

well.

:

Like we could've just missed Tuco.

:

We almost missed Tuco.

:

Yeah.

:

Yeah.

:

Completely.

:

Well, I guess it looked, sounded like he was in a lot more season one.

:

He was in four episodes.

:

Yes.

:

Because I, I know because I, I saw he was in just as many episodes as John Delancey.

:

Yeah.

:

Well, it's been a good ride and I'm looking forward to this next show,

:

but before we do that, we've got fly.

:

So we'll be back.

:

We, we will be back next week with that.

:

But until then, we want to thank Ripe for their lovely theme song.

:
