Married Couple's First Time REACTION to BETTER CALL SAUL 1x1 "Uno" | Breaking Bad Reaction Continues

[@isaiahmoungey3193]

Saul’s real name wasn’t a spoiler, he reveals that in his first episode of BB.

[@MjkL1337]

damn, how did i miss it?

[@SFVone]

@@MjkL1337 Yeah, the scene where he meets Walt in his office. He says he's an Irish McGill (sp?) but uses Goodman because his clients want a Jewish lawyer.

[@halberthawkins]

"Ah, a fellow 'potato eater'! My real name's McGill"

[@botz77]

It's all good, man.

[@silikon2]

Definitely takes most BB viewers a few episodes to call Saul "Jimmy".

[@onthespoke2]

your odds of encountering Tuco Salamanca in Albuquerque in May 2002 are low, but never zero

[@joaquinfeelings]

I think anyone disparaging BCS vs BB is just upset it’s not the same show, there’s so much thematically similar, it’s just more character driven and not plot driven. Once you guys get to the end of this you’ll feel whole, I’m sure of it

[@nerdymarriedcouple]

we're looking forward to the journey 😁

[@ForcesInMotion]

@@nerdymarriedcouple Savor it. You only get to go through this masterpiece for the first time once. Give it your all and it will reward you in spades.

[@drewmcwhortor4804]

I don't even look at them as separate shows at this point. So many scenes in BB feel more hallow w/o the context given in BCS. Can't say which ones yet lol.

[@lucasmorais7646]

​@@nerdymarriedcoupleBetter Call Saul is every bit as wonderful as Breaking Bad.

[@jlilley73]

"You'll feel whole"? In the same sense that Mike uses when he tells his guys "We'll make you whole"? 😆I mean, it fits!

[@DefunctGames]

The reason Eric is confused throughout most of this episode is because he talks over crucial bits of dialog and turns away from the episode while talking, so he's both missing the dialog and the visual (whereas Kailyn never looks away). It makes complete sense why he was dumbfounded through this episode. What doesn't make sense is his confidence, especially when it comes to Chuck and it not being Tuco. He practically laughs in Kailyn's face when she (accurately) suggests Tuco.

[@hoodootheclown929]

I started to get anxiety from how much he missed by talking and looking away. lol I need a drink.

[@omalleycaboose5937]

Saul mentions his real name in Breaking bad off handedly

[@nerdymarriedcouple]

hmm interesting!

[@Turalcar]

Just the last name, it seems. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4aUq5hoqpp7d7M

I’m incredibly excited for you guys to begin this journey. I am just one of the many people who enjoy this show even more than BrBa.

[@nerdymarriedcouple]

we are so excited! thanks for watching with us!!

[@omalleycaboose5937]

"It's gonna be Tuco" I can see how that guess was made but damn still,

[@nerdymarriedcouple]

seriously absolutely wild

[@BobTheSkull]

Small clarification, Random people werent giving Slippin Jimmy money. Jimmy would slip on ice at a store then threaten legal action against the store for not making their locations safe. most stores (especially large retailers) dont want a big legal battle and some states do make stores have a legal obligation to make their stores safe if they are open to the public. its why so many stores put salt on their parking lots and sidewalks.

[@cshubs]

I live in Abq next door to Saul's "Omaha" apt building. You can see my balcony at 5:33 sticking out from the left side after the snow plow passes!!!! I got to meet Odenkirk when he was here for season 5 scenes. I'll give more details on that when you get there. Both apt buildings are owned by the same company. I see Saul's apt door up close when I throw trash away because the dumpster is kept outside that unit, #17.

[@DenseEpiphany]

Thats crazy lol

[@cshubs]

@@DenseEpiphany I've worked all over the city and was never far from locations. For a few years, I worked about 1/4 mile from Jessie's house, Chuck's house, Tuco's hideout, and The Dog House.

@@DenseEpiphany I've met a couple of extras, too. One was in 4.10-- he was one of the big guys in the Mexican lab, whom I sat next to on a flight home to NM. The other I can't mention yet...

[@stevesmith4600]

So in Breaking Bad, when Walt made his "confession", and gave it to Hank, it was on a DVD. This is a prequel. Prior to DVDs were VHS. Things are on VHS to illustrate where these events occurred timeline-wise.

[@AllOfTheHallows]

Yeah but the black and white scenes take place AFTER Breaking Bad.

[@jackmars931]

@@AllOfTheHallows Yes, but the tapes were made before it.

[@AllOfTheHallows]

​@@jackmars931My bad I made the stupid mistake of commenting before watching . I didn't realize you were referring to the court room VHS scene.

[@TampaCEO]

First, "mijo" is Spanish for "My Son". It's the shortened version of "Mi hijo". Secondly, wow you guys were the fastest reactors to figure out the issues with Chuck and EMFs. You nailed it right away. And Kailyn, kudos for predicting Tuco. I think you are the only person who could have predicted that!

[@eddied.3426]

Took me forever to understand the whole hhm vs. Jimmy and chuck and all that.

[@isoulates]

Come for Saul, stay for Jimmy

[@zTaq]

BCS is nothing like BB while still intertwining with the BB storyline. Trust, this is up there just like BB is but in its own way

[@sallyatticum]

These writers trust and respect the audience's intelligence. There is a lot of showing, not telling, but also every bit of dialogue is important.

[@Mantis_Toboggan_MD.]

15:00 That's not a spoiler. He told Walt in the Breaking Bad episode called "Better Call Saul" that his real name was McGill

[@antoniomaruge8218]

Exactly

[@ForcesInMotion]

Gary absolutely kills it :)

[@charmedoriginal5923]

😂 😂 😂 Gary Odenkirk for the win.

[@aledjango]

This series is definitely a slow-burner at first (as was BB), but it's definitely worth sticking with!

[@ViraL_FootprinT.ex.e]

29:20 "It's going to be Tuco" ❕ 👀 👄 And then the reveal 30:14 🤯

[@mathmexican4234]

I think this show does a very good job of showing things without just using dialogue. For example, the scene with the trash can does so much with like two quick lines. You saw the dent in the trash can earlier, so you know he's done this kind of thing before, at this exact place. And Kim lets him just stand there and take a drag from her cig, so you know there is some complex relationship there, because she also doesn't flinch through any of it, then just goes and fixes the trash can. I think they just kept getting better with writing and this show is even better than Breaking Bad.

[@Fleshtotem]

37:00 There's hardly any exposition in this show, and when there is its a device that moves the plot and story forward. The writing and cinematography in Better Call Saul is impeccable. Show don't tell is on full display here.

[@introvertedillusion9769]

Love bob odenkirks evolution as an actor during this show also in breaking bad in the episode “better call Saul” Saul says his name is James McGill

[@TampaCEO]

10:10 - I just noticed the clever way they made it look like he was walking to his white Cadillac, but he quickly pivots over to the yellow Isuzu Esteem - LOL! You guys are going to LOVE the back stories of all of these characters. Breaking Bad was an incredible show. But it took 2 or 3 seasons to get deep into the weeds of the real criminal characters. This one comes out swinging out of the gate!!!

[@edsfilmicforays5733]

The harmony to Breaking Bad's melody metaphor (as you'll find out) is spot-on.

[@kroel1077]

I just checked yesterday on this channel for it Perfect timing Can't wait to join y'all in thsi journey

[@BobTheSkull]

the happiness of guessing Tuco was so fucking good. i love how every single reactor has said "TUCO!" when the flowery fancy button up shirt is shown with a gun!

[@eddiemaiden2664]

Kailyn's thought process was the same one the writers used When they were writing this episode the question was "who would be the scariest person behind that door?" And the writers came up with Tuco Salamanca!

[@murphsmurf87]

Breaking Bad is wonderful but Better Call Saul is the love of my life.

[@ShadowDogProduction]

That's the best blind pull I've ever seen. Have her immediately play the lottery. Lol

[@Tone_Loc303]

Im so excited for you guys to react to this masterpiece of a show. Time to have a couple of beers even though its only Tuesday 😬 and live vicariously through your reaction. Cheers 🍻

[@kobewankenobi248]

*you both are in for a very good time. It becomes incredibly intense as the seasons progress just like BB*

[@dynamodan8216]

Bob Odenkirk was a finalist for Michael on The Office. He is a comedy legend.

[@kevinwalsh9704]

“It’s show time folks!”

[@drewmcwhortor4804]

I think y'all are really going to enjoy this one. The questions about morality and ethics are much more gray. Plus, Vince an co had mastered their craft by the start of the series. As amazing as the visual story telling is in BB, BCS takes it to a new level. Also, "I know it's a prequel." Yeah, mostly lol.

[@roboct6]

Good reaction. I’m looking forward to going on this ride with you guys. Kailyn’s intuitive hit was fun. She just paid attention to all the information on the screen, made a comment and then it go. I love a minute later she was as surprised as Eric that she was right. Better Call Saul is one of my favs. It has the same level of writing as Breaking Bad as well as an interesting and playful interaction with its predecessor.

[@snidefultodd]

Excited for it. Can't imagine what anyone could disparage about this show.

[@Barytyrannus]

As someone whos watched both shows like 10 times, Better Call Saul, honest to god, is even better than Breaking Bad......and I gotta say that at least part of that comes down to Saul being a lot easier to root for than Walt, but also its just builds so much off of what Breaking Bad did so well.

[@sivannatalie]

People in the comments are understandably impressed that you called Tuco’s appearance before it happened, but I’m still impressed you understood that Chuck has a psychosomatic condition immediately, when I’ve seen reactors go through the entire series confused about what’s going on with him.

[@nerdymarriedcouple]

still can't get over the fact she called it 😭

[@JoseRodriguez-un2kc]

YES!!! YOU'RE IN FOR A GREAT SERIES! 😁

[@martinisrael7]

I'm glad that you know that this show is a prequel rather than a spin-off as it was presented to us at first. This show is so good and like BB, it gets better every season. Have a good ride.

[@CardboardNae]

Omg I have been waiting for this, Better Call Saul is amazing and surpassed breaking bad in some aspects, some people dislike it since the pacing is slower, but I really loved it

[@januarybaby1063]

HERE WE GO. Can’t wait for you guys to get hooked on BCS 😌

[@mst4705]

I loved the recap at the end for where you put 2 and 2 together, and connect the dots. Because it was a bit frustrating seeing you confuse but it pays off when you figure it out at the end and not let things go over your head.

[@douglasgawitt8818]

This is suppose to be about 6 years before Saul met Walt.

[@MrAlathiel]

hahaha i literally just got done watching your series finale reaction to breaking bad and now this drops. must be a sign

[@mrtveye6682]

Kailyn coming in hot with the big brain predictions right from Ep. 1. Respect! 😃

[@dsscam]

7:00 FINALLY realizing that it's both a prequel AND a sequel.... Was waiting and WAITING and WAITING for the realization. 14:54 He said his real name was McGill in Breaking Bad upon his 1st meeting with Walt (as Badger's uncle). You forgot (or missed it) You guys do talk over a lot of dialog. You missed the initial call in this episode when he answered the phone as James McGill. 16:00 - "James McGill is his 'dad?' smh. It's much more of a spoiler that you know about Gus- that sucks. But I guess with Giancarlo Esposito's tremendous success (The Boys, The Mandalorian, the MCU, etc..), it takes a lot of work to avoid 16:24-. 1st ever shot of my favorite character in the Breaking Bad universe. 29:20 Kailyn: Unreal! Not only drop-dead gorgeous but also a genius!! Never saw 1 reactor (out of LOTS of BCS reactions) get this part right. Kailyn is special. Hall of Fame Reactor!

[@briangonigal3974]

It’s also kind of hard to keep Gus’ appearance a spoiler when frickin’ Netflix slapped his face all over the thumbnail pic of the first season he (eventually) appears in. I’m still ticked off about that.

[@filmpopmovie]

Not always the most popular opinion, but this has higher rewatch value than BB.

[@doomshallot4203]

LOL i can't believe you predicted Tuco!!! You're the first one I've seen do that out of like 50 reaction channels I've watched. Nice job LMAO

[@nerdymarriedcouple]

😅😅😂😂

[@calvinwendland8373]

It's great that you realize the psycho sematic illness related to EMF early. Most people are clueless until the reveal a few episodes later.

[@calvinwendland8373]

One thing I will not spoil however is the root cause. That's a journey in itself.

[@jlilley73]

You're in for a lot of fun! I'm impressed how by quickly you were able to grasp Chuck's situation, his issue with electromagnetism and all that; most reactors seem to not get it until the scene with the doctor (I assume you're a few episodes ahead). And of course, Kailyn guessing Tuco was just magic 😆 See you Friday!

[@manualuser]

Oh boy o boy o boy o boy Imma need to go watch your BB reactions, see you two in a week or two 👍

[@charmedoriginal5923]

Eric & Kailyn, did you recognize the Chuck McGill actor, Michael McKean from his time in the 1976 - 1983 sitcom, "Laverne & Shirley" as Lenny of Lenny & Squiggy ?

[@jlilley73]

Doubtful! I'm in my 50s and that is almost before MY time. They may have a better chance at recognizing him as an actor from the movies "Clue" or "This is Spinal Tap".

[@Socragames]

A magical react for Eric's complete disbelief, like "why would it be Tuco?". Great stuff.

RAHH🔥 Enjoying the journey guys!

[@rubykrebs9550]

I loved your reaction. I'm excided to share this experience with you. The one thing I can share with you about the show is that if you felt the film making on Braking Bad was superior, they just got better with this show. The film making, writing and acting make this {in my humble opinion} the greatest show ever.

[@cds8218]

Remember, he told Walt that he'd probably be managing a Cinnabon in Omaha.

[@Mantis_Toboggan_MD.]

I loved BCS. My only real gripe with BCS (which is my gripe with all prequels really) is that we already know the fate of characters that were also in Breaking Bad. We already know the fate of Mike & Tuco for example. There are 5 seasons of BCS but right off the bat we know that Mike, Tuco, and Jimmy/Saul for that matter, all make it to 'BB".

[@NoShiiitSherlock]

🤚 "Its SHOWTIME" 🖐

[@GMontag]

El Camino was aired between seasons 4 and 5 of Better Call Saul.

[@1984MG2]

The first season of Better Call Saul takes place in 2001, seven years before Breaking Bad.

[@bogglqueen]

Lmao the first time I saw this I also recognized the wild colored shirt sleeve and knew only Tuco wears stuff like that 😂 I would recognize that shirt sleeve anywhere hahaha

[@soliopy]

I have always thought maybe the writers could've confused viewers much less in the first episode just by having Howard say a single line like "Listen Jimmy, you may be Chuck's brother and you may be helping him with his medical condition, but that doesn't mean you can speak on his behalf!" That way it would've set up and explained the basic premise in a natural sounding way. It's not important of course because everybody figures it out within a few episodes anyway, but I just think about it every time lmao

[@jmiyagi12345]

It didn't seem confusing to me. Then again, I wasn't watching it making guesses - as a prequel (and sequel), and given who created the shows - I just figured all the information would be revealed eventually. Knowing (or not knowing) he's the brother doesn't change much in their first scenes together.

[@josephsarto689]

And then dark helmet, looks at the camera and says “everybody got that?”

[@FictitiousCtrlGames]

That’s terrible dialogue. Everything is spelled out so obviously. Audiences aren’t slow.

[@XXdocdropXX]

Kailyn’s idea was absolutely genuine and spot on. No spoilers but I’m curious for all the predictions to come!

[@derps0n839]

When they were writing this show, they took little things from Breaking Bad, like Saul's real name, then they expand on stuff like that to create storylines around it. It actually enhances the Breaking Bad story.

[@the_eaglefan]

This is a very good series. It's very different than BB, much slower pacing, but that's not a bad thing.

[@autocosm]

Never in history has anyone picked up on Chuck's condition so quick

[@jxsh03]

This show is very different in style to Breaking Bad yet feels familiar throughout. I wouldnt get ur hopes up too much for cameos or returning characters (despite seeing Mike and Tuco in this episode) and Better Call Saul is much more subtle and slightly slower paced than Breaking Bad. This show is VERY focused on character (which is saying something coming from Breaking Bad but in many ways it goes deeper in this aspect). It is an incredible show and will leave a lasting impact especially on rewatches of both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.

[@mirroredcity2100]

This show is gonna make you view breaking bad differently when it’s done.

[@J-racks]

“I’m a prophet” 😂😂😂 good call Kailyn

[@OwenC08]

I just started this show a few weeks ago with my mom, we finished Breaking Bad and El Camino, now we’re on Season 3 Episode 2, TRUST ME, This show is a must watch and it’s really good for me, it also makes Jimmy McGill (Saul Goodman) a really complex developed character, and makes him more interesting. In other words, the Saul in this show is much more different, and complex than the Saul Goodman we see in Breaking Bad.

Hahaha Kailyn nailed it 😂 One of the things that make this show so great is that it has the BB crew (with 6 seasons of creativity under their belts) continuing the BB universe from S1 E1. And like BB, BCS each season gets better!

[@sallyatticum]

It was a similar looking car, but a different make and model. Sable vs. Taurus.

[@TheRepublican777]

Yes cuz the lady was so calm calling Tuco out asking the kids do they want money and said ok lol

[@TheRepublican777]

The actor who plays Chuck was also in the X-Files a few different episodes in different seasons same with Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul and the actor who played Hank all played in X-Files episodes lol and of course the creator also worked on the X-Files so that's probably why he used so many actors who were on that great show 🙂

[@DenseEpiphany]

36:45 this show is the master of show don't tell and visual storytelling. Love that u guys know about mental health disorders and psychology. The average viewer doesn't get these really. You'll love try reading these insanely complex characters and their psyche

[@dyanad1]

This is what Saul said when he was kidnapped by Walt and Jesse "No, no, no, no it wasn't me it was Ignacio he's the one. Siempre de amigo del cartel (Always a friend of the cartel), Lalo didn't send you? De Lalo?" Remember those names.

[@wendydarling5790]

I think I recall commenters saying it would be too "slow" for you. But if you like E1, you'll like it all. Gets better and more intense. Retains the writing quality all the way through, with a very satisfying finale!

[@abducteeofearth1703]

The way she predicted Tuco would make me either go insane or accept that women are psychic. And I’d rather go insane. 😅

[@RosaLichtenstein01]

As usual, _bright spark Kailyn called it --_ makes up for her not recognising Mike's voice near the beginning, I suppose. Eric certainly recognised it. As I said early on in your viewing of 'Breaking Bad' [BB], Eric might want to stop trying to guess all the time. At the very least it will mean he won't need to keep saying 'I don't know', or 'I don't understand' straight after each one. Also, the script of 'Better Call Saul' is far nore complex than it was for BB, so you two might need to listen a bit more carefully than you did back then, when you kept missing salient details (indeed, as I pointed out once or twice). It will be interesting to see how many more times Kailyn manages to call things out. Are you psychic or just mega-intelligent, Kailyn? Given your track record from BB, my money is on the latter.

[@eddied.3426]

It is very different from breaking bad. The black and white scenes are in the future of breaking bad after saul goes on the run with the vacuum guy whereas the colored scenes are in the past. It's no spoiler to say the show leads up to breaking bad (as it is a prequel) so you know where it ends. The interesting thing is how it gets there. The one thing that struck me most in the show from the cinematography aspect is the car scenes. No obvious stunt doubles switches bad angles that hide their face or green screens. In every other show it's stupidly obvious where the cuts are or the doubles are but not here. Truly spectacular work. Also artistic cinematography really takes off in later seasons

[@dnllrnt]
