00:34:16
◼
►
then one day somebody's gonna come and

00:34:41
◼
►
resource you been and if people ways
[TS]
00:34:43

►
through which she worked for the
[TS]
00:34:44
◼
►
opposition
[TS]
00:34:45
◼
►
I think she's like a librarian in the
[TS]
00:34:47
◼

sense that she's not gonna tell you not

00:34:51
◼

[TS]
00:34:53
◼
►
here's the problem with this show is
[TS]
00:34:54
◼
►
it's almost impossible to figure out
[TS]
00:34:56
◼
►
where we talked about something
[TS]
00:34:57
◼
►
especially if it was more than once and
[TS]
00:34:59
◼
►
yet it's almost certain that every
[TS]
00:35:01
◼
►
terrible thing that we've said we'll be
[TS]
00:35:03
◼
►
we'll find the light of day David
[TS]
00:35:06
◼
►

[TS]
00:35:07
◼
►
right now the thing is the David
[TS]
00:35:08
◼
►
Arquette is probably not right now
[TS]
00:35:10
◼
►
listening the program but if he and I
[TS]
00:35:13
◼
►

00:36:16
◼

reading glasses like the rest of us do

00:39:54
◼
►
very early on
[TS]
00:39:55
◼
►
yes we did we made many of our earliest
[TS]
00:39:57
◼
►
interactions I think we're about mr.
[TS]
00:39:59
◼
►
I I think that's true and I feel like
[TS]
00:40:01
◼
►
mr. Odenkirk is one of the great
[TS]
00:40:02
◼
►
Americans and I feel like the best thing
[TS]
00:40:05
◼
►
about Bob Odenkirk is his complete
[TS]
00:40:08
◼
►
inability to a British accent or any
[TS]
00:40:09
◼
►
kind of accent also his singing is
[TS]
00:40:11
◼
►
pretty special you can do it another day
[TS]
00:40:14
◼
►
I'm the big actor say San Francisco duty
[TS]
00:40:20
◼
►
city filled with criminality New Orleans
[TS]
00:40:24
◼
►
full of water
[TS]
00:40:25
◼
►
he did he's terrible at accents but he's
[TS]
00:40:28
◼
►
amazing and so I like him and I also
[TS]
00:40:30
◼
►
like the protagonist of the show which
[TS]
00:40:32
◼
►
is a character played by bombs the park
[TS]
00:40:34
◼
►
oh ok I hear it's good to see the pacing
[TS]
00:40:36
◼
►
take some getting used to but slow the
[TS]
00:40:38
◼
►
killer guy that works in the parking lot
[TS]
00:40:40
◼
►
yeah I'm not so sure about that and that
[TS]
00:40:41
◼
►
is part of the problem it is the prequel
[TS]
00:40:43
◼
►
problem where I feel like the star wars
[TS]
00:40:47
◼
►
episodes negative 3 negative 2 and
[TS]
00:40:49
◼
►
negative 1
[TS]
00:40:50
◼
►
I might adopt that you get the entire
[TS]
00:40:54
◼
►
time you're watching all of them and i
[TS]
00:40:57
◼
►
can't speak from experience because i
[TS]
00:40:58
◼
►
have only watched the I only watch
[TS]
00:41:00
◼
►
negative 1 I didn't watch negative 3 or
[TS]
00:41:02
◼
►
negative 2 because I couldn't stand even
[TS]
00:41:03
◼
►
the idea of Jar Jar Binks
[TS]
00:41:06
◼
►
yeah but i imagine that you're just
[TS]
00:41:09
◼
►
waiting for dr manner to arrive the
[TS]
00:41:10
◼
►
entire time
[TS]
00:41:12
◼
►
yeah right you're just waiting for the
[TS]
00:41:14
◼
►
things that you know to make their first
[TS]
00:41:16
◼
►
appearance and so this
[TS]
00:41:19
◼
►
the problem with better call Saul is
[TS]
00:41:20
◼
►
that I'm sitting there and I'm wait and
[TS]
00:41:21
◼
►
you know and and they and their
[TS]
00:41:22
◼
►
conscious of that they're not dummies
[TS]
00:41:24
◼
►
and so it's just like when am I first
[TS]
00:41:27
◼
►
going to see these people that I already
[TS]
00:41:30
◼
►
know and and what is the surprise what's
[TS]
00:41:33
◼
►
the surprise of their review will do
[TS]
00:41:34
◼
►
that like I mean I don't watch the show
[TS]
00:41:35
◼
►
I've heard several things on fresh air
[TS]
00:41:37
◼
►
about it but I'm going to plead it
[TS]
00:41:39
◼
►
really is its own entity it is its own
[TS]
00:41:42
◼
►
entity but there's just enough they're
[TS]
00:41:43
◼
►
just seeing the their seating it enough
[TS]
00:41:45
◼
►
they can't resist it right the first
[TS]
00:41:48
◼
►
time that Gus fring appears on the
[TS]
00:41:51
◼
►
screen at the old guy o.o spring was the
[TS]
00:41:54
◼
►
chicken guy right okay I i don't know i
[TS]
00:41:57
◼
►
don't remember either his name just
[TS]
00:41:58
◼
►
popped into my head and I thought I
[TS]
00:41:59
◼
►
would drop a mint and feel it seem
[TS]
00:42:01
◼
►
knowledgeable but you must read a little
[TS]
00:42:03
◼
►
bit too because you're going like oh
[TS]
00:42:04
◼
►
it's gonna be a young Jesse at a
[TS]
00:42:06
◼
►
playground right just like I have to go
[TS]
00:42:09
◼
►
to this school to serve a warrant and
[TS]
00:42:11
◼
►
there's a teacher there and got a full
[TS]
00:42:13
◼
►
head of hair and wearing a dress
[TS]
00:42:15
◼
►
yeah sure is a wimpy guy i don't want
[TS]
00:42:17
◼
►
that to happen and I feel like this the
[TS]
00:42:18
◼
►
show runners have to know that that is a
[TS]
00:42:21
◼
►
risk and let's just see but it but that
[TS]
00:42:24
◼
►
but that's the thing that that's more
[TS]
00:42:26
◼
►
information already that i have to have
[TS]
00:42:29
◼
►
to wrestle with every time I try and
[TS]
00:42:31
◼
►
watch one of these television programs
[TS]
00:42:33
◼
►
i'm already wrestling
[TS]
00:42:34
◼
►
yeah with expectation and that is not a
[TS]
00:42:37
◼
►
thing that you have with the show that
[TS]
00:42:39
◼
►
you've never seen but in that case I
[TS]
00:42:42
◼
►
don't have any interest in seeing them
[TS]
00:42:43
◼
►
at all so it's tough it's tough i've
[TS]
00:42:47
◼
►
been really debating whether or not to
[TS]
00:42:48
◼
►

[TS]
00:42:51
◼
►
birthday and I want to say anything
[TS]
00:42:52
◼
►

[TS]
00:42:54
◼
►

[TS]
00:42:56
◼
►
or not to show her frozen the film which
[TS]
00:42:59
◼
►
everybody raves about have you seen it i

[TS]
00:43:04
◼

absorbing it from the culture enough she
[TS]
00:43:07
◼
►
came into the day and she was like Elsa
[TS]
00:43:09
◼
►

[TS]
00:43:19
◼
►

[TS]
00:43:24
◼
►
and she walks around the house for the
[TS]
00:43:26
◼
►
next 15 minutes singing let it go
[TS]
00:43:28
◼
►
a song which I don't know if she's ever
