No wonder he started dragging them! I figured it would be heavy but not THAT heavy.

I just wanted to add for context how crazy this task would have been if you consider $7 million spread across two duffel bags if all $100 bills would weigh around 80 pounds each! Herculean task and I don’t blame Mike for not helping!

2026-02-19 23:40:53 +0000 UTCI've been listening to "I Got The..." ever since we watched the episode, it's great, and it completely blew my mind that Eminem used it almost unedited for "My Name Is".

2026-02-19 19:17:29 +0000 UTCTHIS is the episode I've been really looking forward to your reaction on. Whew. It's a doozy. Sampling can be a real art sometimes -- chop the sample up, pitch it up or down, reverse it, and so on -- and sometimes it's just taking a couple of bars exactly as is, as Dr. Dre did with the interpolation (re-recording) of the riff from "I Got The..." by Labi Siffe from 1975. https://www.whosampled.com/Eminem/My-Name-Is/ Here's an iconic creative sample that it took fans 17 years to find (3rd sample in this video). https://youtu.be/Eh0kdRVH9m8?si=ovHJWtbHicVSAmv0

2026-02-18 23:58:30 +0000 UTCThis episode is always bittersweet to me because on the one hand it's a reminder that we are in the final stretch, but on the other hand the rest of the series is so good! Savor these episodes! You can only watch them for the first time once.

2026-02-18 20:25:29 +0000 UTCJimmy clearly doesn't speak Spanish in this episode, but in Breaking Bad, Saul's ads say he does speak Spanish at the bottom. Did Saul learn Spanish in between now and then?

2026-02-18 19:47:35 +0000 UTCGreat episode, great reaction! Jordan said Jimmy's car is a metaphor for him as a person, which I never picked up on. I think you're right! This was also an interesting one to rewatch, knowing what's going to happen. When Jimmy uses some of his water to clean off his shoe, I'm like "Nooooo! You're gonna need that!" It wouldn't be a Breaking Bad Universe show without characters getting stuck in the desert.
