Walt's deadly sin is absolutely Pride. He is still so embittered about Gretchen and Elliot becoming rich and successful off of his formulas, while he got a measly pittance out of it, that he just cannot stand other people getting credit for his work.

[@SuzakuX]

The worst part is, from what Vince has said, it was Walt who was responsible for all of that in the first place, he just shifts the blame to them as part of his victim complex.

[@Beaver_Monday]

@@SuzakuX Yeah. Remember when Gretchen tried to talk to him and he literally said "Fuck you". Walt is nothing more than an angsty child. He's not anywhere near the level of tough shit he pretends to be.

[@bloybob5108]

I Apologize for this Comment I don’t think that was angst. That was definitely his pride talking. Even after when Walt insulted Gretchen his face depicted regret-fullness but when Gretchen said “I feel so sorry for you”. His pride definitely kicked in.

Man, Walt really is his own worst enemy. I remember almost losing my shit when Walt had the PERFECT out from being investigated when Hank was ready to credit Gale and just close the Heisenberg case. But Walt, being a bit tipsy, would rather risk getting caught than having his work credited to someone else.

[@survivor45661]

I mean yeah that's why the show exist, Walt decided to become a drug dealer instead of accepting free money.

"Since when do vegans eat fried chicken?" One of my favorite moments in the whole show. Depressed PTSD Hank is gone, Agent fucking Shrader is finally back. I think you're on the right track with "was Hank talking about Gale", ish. I don't think he was literally talking to Walt or suspected him at that point, but I do think we the audience are meant to consider how his words applied to Walt, and that Walt as the real Heisenberg felt like it was directed at him even though he knew it wasn't *actually* directed at him.

[@margaretburnham5683]

Exactly

[@pearljammies]

Podcast Notes: Shotgun Guests: Betsy Brandt (Marie), Dean Norris (Hank), Jonathan Banks (Mike), Director Michelle MacLaren, Writer Tom Schnauz 1. Bryan did some of the driving in the opening. Most of it was a stunt driver named Laurence Chávez who also does Bruce Willis’ stunt work. He was such a perfect double for Bryan that they could shoot him from any angle. 2. Jonathan did a ton of digging! He hurt his knee at one point. When he rubs down the alley, he was in pain from that injury 3. Time lapse crew is from LA & flies out. They had a new setup they wanted to launch on BrBa. Every move Jesse & Mike has to do, they had to act out for a full minute (“puck your underwear out of your butt!” = Aaron picking his butt for a minute 😂 4. Walt blows up about Gale bc he’s lost control, and he needs to be in control. He has gone hunting for Jesse, who was oblivious to what he’s gone through, he had to talk to his wife about whether he’s allowed to move back in, Walt Jr drank out of a Beneke mug, and here’s Gale being called a genius & getting credit for his own brilliance. 😫 5. Hank & Marie - more about feeling badly for both characters in this situation, and about how much they love each other 6. They had to learn how to drive forklifts. Well, Bryan didn’t really, because Walt was to be bad at it. 7. Building the superlab - they’d gotten help from someone in the DEA. You *could* technically cook meth in that lab. 8. Accident - Vince wanted to shoot a t-bone like he’s never seen one filmed before. The stunt guys wanted to film it practically! (on camera, not through cgi) 9. BrBa was originally going to be set in Riverside, CA. It ended up in Albuquerque due to tax incentives

[@matthewlee5875]

Was it Jesse Declan that posted spoilers in your comment thread?

[@MarcusSalviusOtho]

I've got to say, I really enjoy the way you guys do your reaction schedule. Picking a small number of shows and really focusing on them is a great way to go about it. I love Blind Wave and the Normies, but going week to week can really drag some shows out.

[@hendrikpajula]

[@P9rkour90]

Same. I love the crew of Blind Wave but I definitely wish they would do at least 2 shows weekly, especially for shows like BrBa, the Punisher and Hunter x Hunter

[@matt9618]

agree 100%, the only thing is with the Normies they watch a lot of shows that I enjoy seeing them react to, so I don’t mind having their schedule be more variety. for instance, if Nikki and Steven decide to react to two shows I’m not interested in, I won’t tune in to their channel for quite some time

[@hamsterfromabove8905]

Blind Wave and the Normies are more interested in having their content last infinitely than actually finishing shows. Some time far in the future, they want to end their youtube career before they "run out" of content. So they make everything take forever, so that there is always a good show they haven't gotten to.

[@nanzabas3595]

This episode was the turning point for me in regards to Skylar. I went from disliking her to having sympathy for her. She is starting to make better decisions, unfortunately, it's predicated towards illegal activities and dealing with a husband on an ego trip. Ever since Walt shot those gangsters, he now believes he's invincible.

[@ghenry4513]

What a show. It rivals Hollywood's best crime capers and even surpasses them in so many ways. The cinematography of the windmill in the desert with Mike and Jesse driving out is amazing. Thought for sure Jesse was a goner there.

[@spackle9999]

Hank is a cop, and a damn good one. He follows the clues where they lead. I think maybe he never thought about Walt, but in that moment the clues were adding up toward him. If Walt hadn't thrown him off, who knows how far it could've gone?

[@adrianramirez8882]

Hank certainly is no good cop, by any means. Sure he catches some bad guys, but he's racist, he's a hypocrite, he's a bully and he could have easily caught Walt in the first season but he didn't. ie the school lab gas mask and missing equipment.

[@simonriley4131]

@@adrianramirez8882 Dude.. no. He isn't racist he's a DEA agent surrounded by people of Mexican heritage in the country of New Mexico. He's never openly racist towards anyone nor does he ever have non drug related racial comments. He found the van and if it wasn't for the guy owning the lot Hank would've had Walt right then and there. He put two and two together and realized Gus was an established drug dealer (and it was post mortem which made it even more difficult to realize) Hank is a good fucking cop and a good man with lapses of judgement and some unlikeable character traits

[@ximienlundquist8487]

Hank is not racist. The reason why most Hispanics aren't offended and laugh along with Hank, is because the show makes it obvious that Hank respects Hispanics. Him making 'racist' jokes doesn't change that.

[@MrDash711]

Hank was just deep in thought when he was asking about w.w. He still doesn’t suspect Walt at all.

[@Mr.Batsu12]

At dinner together Hank told them they found Heisenberg (or Gale). Then Walter says the notes appeared to be just a copy but not from the real Heisenberg - enforcing the idea Heisenberg is still out there. I think if Hank was previously suspicious of Walter he'd now have to wonder why Walter is saying something to make Hank think Heisenberg may still be out there. Right? It's illogical for Walter to say that if he was actually Heisenberg. You would expect Walter to reinforce the idea of Heisenberg being dead.

Shotgun has multiple meanings in this episode: 1) obviously the reference to Jesse riding in the passenger seat with Mike driving around the state all day 2) even more obvious reference to the 'attacker' with a shotgun that Jesse stopped 3) Walt's absolute, character-defining refusal to play 2nd fiddle to any other person - he won't ride shotgun for his wife - he won't ride shotgun for Jesse - he won't ride shotgun for Gale - his ego won't ride shotgun for his/his family's safety & freedom

His pride hunts Walt once again. It's why he got into this business, it's why he never fullfilled his quiting attempts despite all the bad stuff happening and it's why he can't let it go in these situations.

[@aworkinprogress4387]

That was one of Walt's dumbest moves. Walt's biggest weakness is his ego. He can't stand not being the center of attention or not being as appreciated he feels he should be. First he feels disrespected by Gus, then Mike, then Titus, the Jesse and then seeing the Beneke mug reminded him of being disrespected by Skyler. You put that altogether and then add wine to the mix and well, you saw what happened. Hank was ready to put the Heisenberg case to bed but Walt couldn't stand to let someone else get credit for his meth on top of all the other disrespect he had received that day. So yeah, you definitely wanted to hit Walt there. As for the Jesse situation, Gus knows he needs to keep Jesse busy so he'll stop being reckless and get out of his depression. And if Jesse feels heroic and important then he'll be much more engaged in the work he's doing. Plus there's the added bonus of taking Jesse away from Walt pissing Walt off. 💰🍷🗣🐓

[@rexracer3221]

Walt's pride is his major flaw. Skylar was hearing for the first time from Hank on what a high level criminal Walt is. (This will ring her alarm bells and start thinking in overdrive).

[@shannontaylor7236]

💰🍷🗣🐔 Omg Walt’s big mouth!!! Hank was ready to let it go. Egomaniac was a perfect description for him. I think losing out on the Graymatter company has affected him so deeply, that he can’t bare the thought of someone taking credit for his work ever again.

The gas mask they found with the school name on it could still be in the back of Hank's mind also. So he could have his suspicions. Great reaction and discussion again. This is fun.

[@dragon-ed1hz]

I am really enjoying watching the show along with you for the first time. I always watch the episode in the morning and then your reaction about lunchtime. I don't think Hank suspects Walt at this point, but clues are entering his brain. I have my own theory about how this will end, but I won't voice it here because I do not want to influence you at all. The writing on the show is brilliant, but I did have a little trouble believing that Skyler would react the way she did to Walt's phone message. I thought she would immediately call him out about still keeping secrets. But I guess Skyler desperately wanted things to get back to "normal." Her haircut is clearly designed to attract Walt. She is hoping that the car wash will wash away their troubles, but, obviously, it won't. I have no doubt that while Hank's comments about Gayle were not aimed at Walt, the comments clearly struck home with Walt. That, along with too much wine, made Walt say way too much. Skyler is not going to be pleased and the repercussions next episode should be interesting. As for Jesse, Gus realizes that Jesse doesn't care whether he lives or dies, which makes Jesse extremely dangerous in many ways. Gus could kill him, but Gus needs Jesse because Walt needs Jesse so Gus is trying to give Jesse a reason to live. He cannot motivate Jesse through fear because Jesse is so miserable that he has no fear.

Hank was absolutely talking about Walter without even realizing it. It's some irony for the audience to enjoy and it shows us that ultimately, Walter cares more about his ego than anything else. If he had kept quiet, it's very possible that Hank would have accepted that Gale was Heisenberg and Walter could have had a way out, but he doesn't want out; he wants all the credit.

[@worldinperson]

Remember how Walt and Jesse stole the barrel ignoring the fact that they could roll it... and now Walt ignores the fact again that it will roll 😅

[@maryannschumacher1370]

I think Gus's reasoning behind having Jesse with Mike was multi-layered. Perhaps it was in part to keep Jesse sober, so that Mike could keep an eye on him, and so that he could have a heroic experience. But also I think it was to take Walt down a peg by showing him that Jesse actually does have value, too and not just Walt. Plus, as Gus has stated many times, he has a major investment in his meth lab and he needs to keep control over everything!

[@gerardfonz]

I think Gus had it out for Walt once he found out more about Hank's DEA position and especially after Walt chose someone (Jesse) over Gus when he ran over two of his men. It looks like this is where Gus rehabilitates Jesse to take over for Walt so he can kill Walt.

[@mangalvnam2010]

Walt had there his classical hubris moment! And as always, where hubris is, nemesis, sooner or more soon yet, follows. And it seems the inner gears of his hugiant overproud ego are now starting to suspect Gus is going to pull some plan B (or plan J, maybe?) on him... So sad: when a tumor metastasizes like that, its end often is nigh...

[@outis_406]

It'd be really awesome if Walter actually planned on Hank doing what he did. Walt did look at the files and saw what was in there. If he had planned this, It would have been the ultimate way to take down Gus, I just don't see him snitching regardless of what happens.

[@vplane]

nothing at this point suggests that Hank suspects Walt. i think you’re reaching a bit.

[@LeChaunce]

My guess is that their reaction is entirely based on Hank saying "WW" was "Walter White" without a jokey tone and Walt's "You got me!" response a few episodes back when Hank was showing Gale's notebook to Walt.

[@jesuschrist5417]

I mean, yeah it kinda resolves that issue when he doesn't instantly look to Walter after he talks about the genius being still out there, but when he names Walter White as WW it seems like potentially suspects something.

@@hunterlee3353 Just saying (and Steven points this out in the video) that if you know Hank's personality, his "look" was totally different than what we would expect from Hank when he's kidding around. It was ODD. :-)

Regarding Hank mentioning Walt's name as a potential Heisenberg: I think Hank definitely saw the pieces coming together. It does make sense, Walt is super smart, a former chemistry teacher. But there are a lot of other pieces that don't seem to fit -- and I think the biggest one, for Hank, is that Walt is his family. You're right, Hank feels like he is (was) really good at his job, so pride and denial in this case are causing him to shrug off Walt as a candidate, because if he is right about Walt, then that means he was seriously duped and he's actually terrible at his job.

Jonathan banks the guy who plays mike is such an excellent straight man

[@sinnizster5038]

the mind games being played in this show are so dam good!!!

[@monicawism]

I love Mike...he's so blunt, and never...ever sugarcoat anything! And yes..Walt shut the f*up!!! 🍷💵🍗🗣

[@angie-tq4ew]

💰🍷🗣️🐔, shotgun (has to be added 'cause it's in the title - lol) I love how you guys were outraged at Walt flapping his mouth again. I don't exactly remember how I handled it, but based on how I normally act during frustrating moments of television viewing, I probably pounded the couch, and yelled "SHUT UP!" 🤣 Steven: "Look at him being like a good boss & motivating his employees & helping them." Gus, the Employer of the Year. Nikki will never let go the fact that Skylar slept with her boss...or anyone for that matter. I agree 1000% 😊❤️

Why would a vegan eat at los pollos hermanos? Cause its dang good chicken of course!

[@crazexskater]

Or he could have a friend.

I have the word nuts officially added to my vocabulary now. Thanks Nikki!

There’s a ton of highly educated scientists a few miles north on I-25 at the Los Alamos nuclear lab.

Walt: "Lemme throw a lil bone to this poor dawg!" Will the dawg bite the hand that fed him?

[@FreemanicParacusia]

You have to figure that out of the two of them, Jesse is by far less pride-driven and ruthless. If Gus wanted to retain the services of just one of them, Jesse would be the winner.

[@keavabonner1625]

I didnt think what they did was only to motivate Jessie. I took it as a way to put a wedge between Walt and Jessie. At least, that's the way I took it....

[@fordaculture5014]

No he was not talking directly to WalT. The fact that you know who the cook is, is why you think hes talking directly to him

[@Evan-co4tm]

What's the song playing during the time lapse montage? It was on the soundtrack of some EA game a while ago and now it's stuck in my head again

[@aracelikiwrna5778]

I was that person yelling at the screen pissed off at Walt. Sometimes I think that he WANTS to get caught. We've seen him get the rush of power before but now he likes the rush of almost losing everything but at the very last minute it all works out for him and he gets high off of that. He just couldn't keep his mouth shut. Oh Walt. Now, let me pass along the message by another viewer in the comment section named Captain hook who wants to wish Mr. Bryan Cranston a happy birthday today. He turns 63, woo hoo!!! 💵, wine glass, talking, 🐔, 🔫. - Yvette

I've watched all 62 episodes about 4/5 times since 2013. We didn't get BB aired over here in the UK so had to wait for the DVDs.I must have lent those DVDs out to at least a dozen mates at work.

[@theminingbat]

You are not the guy. You’re not capable of being the guy. I had a guy, but now I don’t. YOU ARE NOT THE GUY. Mike is a true poet.

[@johnglue1744]

With Walt's pride and his lack of ability to handle his buzz he really shouldn't be drinking hahaha.

[@thejew1789]

This might sound a little odd and I don't think this is intended by the writers, but person Walt has parallels with is Hitler. Both Walt and Hitler felt cheated and took loss personally (Hitler took the loss of WWI personally and Walt his lack of conventional masculinity and people recognizing his genius). They both felt cheated in life so they took matters into their own hands and did some terrible things (obviously Hitler is a lot worse than Walt, but same idea). Both of their tragic flaws (a bit of Shakespeare for ya) were their ego. Walt let Hank know about Heisenberg still being out there and Hitler attacked Russia in the winter because he thought he could win. I've thought about this a lot before and it's so facinating to me. All hail the king.

"I can't handle this" with that smile. Poor Nikki that show is gonna give her a nervous breakdown, I swear! lol

[@12chapin]

He could have gone to Los Pollos with friends and had a sala and water, that's how he could've gotten a napping from there. I mean fast food places have food for vegetarians.

[@pievancl5457]

Put yourself in Hanks’ shoes.. of alllllll the people in Albuquerque (even if it’s not that big, it’s still a fairly decent sized city) you would suspect your brother in law? The brother in law who has proven time and time again over the years that he is beaten down, downtrodden and soft. Walt is, by all respects, a law-abiding, loving father and nerdy brother-in-law to hank. I don’t think even a speck of suspicion would even seep into hank’s mind, but that’s just me. Plus, like Jesse said in the first season, it is fairly unusual (but not unprecedented) that a 50 something year old man just breaks bad. Usually criminals, especially career criminals, follow a fairly predictable trajectory from adolescence onward. That is the profile. And even if a criminal chemist may fit a different profile, it’s still not really that common for a man to work honestly most of his life and then just risk it all as he’s entering the twilight of his life. If this was the case then hank would be actively investigating all of the chemistry teachers in ABQ, and all of the organic chemists, etc. The bottom line is that Walt doesn’t fit the profile, and what’s more he fits even less because hank intimately knows him- he’s family. So Steven stop overthinking it!!! Lol hank is good but not that good

[@eltravos99]

His gun was literally sitting shotgun!!!!!!!!! OMG just noticed that.

[@YourDadYoda]

How are you guys picking up on stuff in the show that I didn’t even pick up on after watching six times??? I never noticed the mug Walt Jr. was drinking from!! And I didn’t even know Gus set that whole thing up just to improve Jesse’s mood! I would’ve never noticed those things if you guys didn’t point them point
