Better Call Saul (S2:E9xE10) | *First Time Watching* | TV Series Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@Quixotic1018]

It's fascinating how the McGills bring out the best and the worst in each other in the most tragic ways.

[@EverythingFan02]

Chuck’s fainting was terrifying on the first watch. Some of the best episodes of the show are coming up! Thank you both for your reactions!

[@HamillDavid]

You have already been shown it’s all in Chucks head when he was in hospital after he got tasered,the doctor turned the electricity on on his hospital bed without him knowing to show Jimmy it was all in his head and Chuck never felt anything proving it’s all mental.

[@Tone_Loc303]

Bravo to Bob Odenkirks acting 👏. I thought you'd say oh crap I made a mistake and move on like a normal person but OH NO WISHFUL THINKING!

[@thedudesrug6930]

He says his name is McGill in the first episode he was in. Right to Walts face.

[@shiplabi4454]

🗣️A fellow potato eater!

[@BigBoss-zi5ss]

Ernesto is more solid than a brick wall..that's a friend you want

[@NWAWskeptic]

Love BCS, one of my all time faves! Good reaction. Asia, you have such a beautiful smile.

[@Jared_Wignall]

The end of the season is truly excellent. To see how things begun with Saul Goodman and Mike prior to Breaking Bad is really amazing to watch unfold. Great reactions guys, hope you two are doing well. Take care!

[@pencil6965]

BJ comparing Chuck to Superman is so funny 🤣

[@Quixotic1018]

Especially since Chuck played Perry White in Smallville!

[@eddymac1916]

And didn't BJ say Chuck looked like a superhero right before he went into the copy shop with his foil cape?

[@Shonufff88]

30:30 "He probably lost like a million brain cells...." I laughed out loud at that! LOL!

[@Tbone.357]

Chuck's condition is real to him. It's psychosomatic but there's nothing really wrong him but it's a mental disorder. Love to hear your interpretations and ideas about what's happening and what is going to happen. You guys are on the right track!!!👍

[@susanliltz3875]

Oh!!’I Loved the look on your faces when you found out how much money Mike got out of that truck!!

[@orenthalsimpson]

I think he did tell Walt he changed his name to saul from jimmy McGill because the brothas want a Jewish lawyer

[@BillyBong]

I think he just said his name is McGill, but yes, definitely told him.

[@Longshanks1690]

Which is wild when you think about how such a throwaway line would turn out to be such an integral basis for this character. Happened way more often in this series than it should have. 😂

[@BenDover-kt8wm]

He said "the jew thing, I just do it for the homeboys"​@@BillyBong

[@safeashouses211]

"My real name's McGill. The Jew thing I just do for the homeboys. They all want a pipe-hitting member of the tribe, so to speak."

[@indianikit741]

​@@Longshanks1690 thats a well written, character driven show. Theres a reason its so rewatchable. The attention to detail

[@ShrekEnjoyer007]

I love these bcs videos and reactions please keep ‘em coming! The series is gonna get wilder!

[@shanesine6639]

Y’all saw spinal tap, Chuck was the guy with long blonde hair in the band always had a cold sore on his lip. Well it’s Saul Good Man SEE YA!!

[@actuariallurker9650]

That weapon is a Marine sniper rifle used by Special Forces in Viet Nam....so the implication is that before Mike became a cop in Philadelphia he served in Viet Nam....they don't say it directly but that is why he so good in Breaking Bad at getting into Chao's warehouse and taking out all those guys and the other gangster stuff...he was a war hero. Makes what Walter did to him in Season 5 of Breaking Bad even worse

[@neilbaesel3767]

He's also a criminal and a murderer though.

[@kyu6938]

I love these reactions guys, I can’t sub to the pateein because I’m kinda broke because i work at a shitty job during a housing crisis but your reactions are always the first thing i go to after work to chill and relax watching some great storytelling, thank you so much

[@shaunrose8975]

Please tell me that BJ doesn't actually think the electricity is a real thing for chuck and not just his phobia 😂

[@jackjbrewster7799]

Glad yall are doing these. This stretch from season 3 to 5 is as good as this show gets

[@51page]

Chuck was in a movie called "Spinal Tap" and he was in Lavern and Shirley

[@Jay_Sullivan]

I don't think Howard knew that Chuck wasn't retiring.

[@crystallove1444]

Same

[@HEAVYMETALJSTYLES]

The series really heats up ❤ looking forward to the next 😊

[@lufcharrison2234]

Kim is the goattt ❤

[@ghostmkc4045]

I love Kim

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

JIMMY GETS EVEN...ALWAYS!!!!

[@zdoggy911]

In BrBa, Saul said his real name (Jimmy or James McGill) to Walt when those two first met.

[@lufcharrison2234]

“Ahhh a fellow potato eater!”

[@Jared_Wignall]

Saul said “My real name’s McGill.” They didn’t have his first name yet, but his last name was there from his introduction.

[@susanliltz3875]

You’ve Got To Check Out His Movie: “NOBODY “!! It’s so good and clever!!

[@or2ak]

Great movie

[@rkempo]

As much as I hate Chuck, the actor is pretty damn good.

[@SamuelGirard-p1m]

Michael McKean who played Lenny from Lenny & Squeaky on Laverne & Shirley. He also played the lead singer in Spinal Tap. SO FUNNY in those roles and to see him play SO SERIOUS and NOT funny here as Chuck really shows his range as an actor. It's a trip!

[@susanliltz3875]

Whew!! I had a feeling that dear Chuck was taping Jimmy the whole time!!?

[@donnab8000]

Chuck foiled the house so Jimmy will feel sorry for him and confess. Which his plan worked. There’s nothing physically wrong with Chuck, it’s all mental.

[@cadleo]

Man o man, the next two episodes ... o.O

[@angelhernandezrivera6195]

Chuck made her proud. Jimmy made her laugh

[@bensiler40]

This was the finale, I cannot wait for next season!

[@moviechannel6477]

22:54 - There is only one reason why the words "Fu*c and Chu*k" rhyme.

[@matheusneres4088]

Ernie is a true one!!

[@FRESHNESSSSSS]

Chuck clearly believes he has the condition, so it's psycho-somatic. Asia is right, it's like a form of panic attack, so he genuinely feels symptoms, even though his own mind is doing it to himself. But somehow has a mental block where he can't move past it. It's really interesting writing from the showrunners!

[@markz2631]

Chuck’s a conman of a higher level than Jimmy, but may be unconscious of it. The scene with their mother waking up and calling Jimmy suggests that Chuck been overlooked by his parents but not Jimmy. That could explain Chuck’s perfectionism and need for recognition from somebody besides his little brother, who he does not respect. Jimmy looks up to Chuck. Being perceptive, he tried to model himself largely on Chuck. Jimmy is a ‘cheap’ version of a Chuck.

[@thefr33kyshow]

I had a friend that was allergic to the cold weather and Red 40 drink dye. Her fave drink was strawberry Fanta and fave season was winter. Go figure. LOL

[@Eowyn187]

11:44 Go Kim! She may have been incorrect. But she wasn't wrong.

[@lordofthereels6790]

If y'all even like Bob Odenkirk/Saul y'all should definitely check out Mr. Show with Bob and David. It's a great 90's skit show that launched him, David Cross and to a lesser extent Jack Black. Great weird edgy 90's humor.

[@boxcuttastyle8710]

I love the way each sketch transitions to another, so smoothly. I loved that show.

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

GO BACK AND SEE "CHUCK" YOUNG IN ROCKUMENTARY "SPINAL TAP" 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@27bayoubengals]

Great Reaction! As usual

[@cadleo]

32:04 That is a .308 long range sniper round. The 7.62 is medium range assault rifle round.

[@markhamstra1083]

Wrong. 7.62 mm is .308 inches, and the 7.62x51 mm NATO chambering is all but identical to the civilian .308 Winchester. An AR15-based assault rifle most commonly uses a 5.56 mm round (.223 Remington or 5.56x45 mm NATO).

[@cadleo]

@@markhamstra1083 He is referencing the AK-47 though, also colloquially an assault rifle. Quit being a technicality internet douche loser, nobody cares what you know. Im simply pointing out that BJ is using the term 762 when that round isnt a 762.

[@bryantsanders6869]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@rubykrebs9550]

Every time Chuck has had an episode it was because in some way things were not working out as he would like.

[@pencil6965]

it's because he's in constant paranoia that jimmy is up to something and he can't control it

[@TheIgnoredGender]

27:03 STOKELY!

[@EvHervey]

Episode 9 is called "Nailed", but I really wish they'd called it "Witness" The copy store guy, the good Samaritan. You know what I mean?

[@tylerhackner9731]

The McGills bring out the best and worst in everyone

[@Tone_Loc303]

Gimmie Jimmy!

[@T.Lee3]

FYI. Texas is a one party consent state. For example. If I'm having a conversation with you, I can start recording without your consent. This is because, as one of the parties involved with the conversation, I've already given my consent by recording. There is also no obligation to inform you that you are being recorded. Laws get a little tricky with phone/video calls, though, because you could be in different states. Different states, different laws.

[@flerbus]

New Mexico

[@MLennholm]

FYI, the laws of Texas are irrelevant here because the show takes place in New Mexico

[@T.Lee3]

@MLennholm relevant because Asia and BJ are in Texas.

[@citypopradioFM]

The photo copy worker held it solid but Jimmy held it even more solid as a human being by foiling his own plan, career, and life by immediately running to Chuck's side since he always cared about him against his own machinations and schemes. I always felt that this was a key part of his character, even at this point when he had every reason to wash his hands of Chuck to do his own thing while being his own man, on top of gleefully scheming against him, and Jimmy never abandoned family when his own brother sought to ruin his everything. Also shout out to Ernie.

[@actuariallurker9650]

Chuck is a monster

[@Wraiven22]

Idk I’ve always been conflicted. Chuck is such a hateable character to me, I don’t like greedy egomaniacs like him. But he also turned out to be right about Jimmy. Then you have to ask did the chicken come before the egg? Did Jimmy go dark because of his brother’s treatment? I think the scamming flashbacks suggest no, but 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@pencil6965]

Lmaooo then what does that make jimmy

[@MLennholm]

@@Wraiven22 Also, the way Jimmy flipped the switch that he wasn't supposed to tells us that flouting the rules is just his nature, even when Chuck is not a factor in any way

[@crvnmrhd]

Jimmy is slimy!!!!!

[@angel-lp2ku]

chuck is wayyy slimier

[@pencil6965]

@@angel-lp2kunothing slimier than scamming an old lady, so Jimmy tops him for sure

[@angel-lp2ku]

@@pencil6965 idk. what jimmy did was horrible but chuck pissed on his own family time and time again because he was jealous of him. at the end of the day what jimmy did was to sort of to a random lady, while chuck was willingly trying to hold back his little brother his own blood from becoming a better person and imo that’s worse.

[@pencil6965]

@@angel-lp2ku (spoilers)ok, and jimmy stole from his own blood, also had his mom worried sick constantly because of getting in trouble. chuck actually did a lot for jimmy that people always overlook (which mirrors his perceived treatment in the show) - jimmy would still be a jailed sex offender if it wasn't for chuck basically saving his life. also just because it's a "random lady" doesn't make it ok. it's fuked up to rationalize something like that just because you don't know the person.

[@parkerboy795]

Wait til Lalo showed up

[@lordofthereels6790]

Also if you haven't seen it I'd highly recommend 48 Hrs. It was Eddie Murphy's first (and probably grittiest) movie. Much like Beverly Hills Cop it also has a great early Jonathan Banks/Mike scene that starts the movie.

[@Eowyn187]

I don't think there's any other character, anywhere, that I loathe like I do Chuck. A little bit more every time I watch him.

[@zammmerjammer]

I found Chuck intensely frustrating. His constantly equating what is legal with what is moral was nonsensical, especially from a lawyer. When he says to his brother "Life isn't one big game of Let's Make A Deal," I shouted out "YES IT IS!" even before Jimmy did. A lawyer's whole job is negotiating and arguing different perspectives. And often it isn't that the "correct" POV will triumph, but who is simply *better at making good arguments.* It makes for a great conflict and a great show, of course, but it drove me a little bonkers.

[@pencil6965]

@@zammmerjammer Chuck said that specifically in reference to Jimmys habit of talking himself out of or into everything, even if it’s unethical. it had nothing to do with practicing as a lawyer lol

[@SamuelGirard-p1m]

That'd be a such a terrible way for someone to go. I didn't wish that on him. He didn't really permantly hurt Jimmy or Kim. He just held them back in their respective careers a bit. They still ended up becoming the Lawyers they wanted to be. I don't want to spoil any more for Asia & BJ.

[@pencil6965]

This whole thing made me really hate jimmy
