The Breaking Bad Episode

Today at our house, Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul are the ones who knock. If you’ve seen Breaking Bad you get that reference. If you haven’t seen Breaking Bad, I think you’ll still enjoy this because Bryan & Aaron are the best men you could ever meet, but just be forewarned that we do end up spoiling a lot of Breaking Bad, and a little bit of The Wire if I’m being honest. These guys are two best friends who made one of the best shows ever together. Are they better best friends than Dave and Benny? Let's look at the facts at hand. They spent years together on Breaking Bad and then started a mezcal business because they missed each other. Also Bryan is getting his shoulder replaced and he's giving the old one to Aaron. It's not a competition but we can all agree this is a best friendship operating at a very high level. We talk to them about life after being on the biggest show ever, how Bryan approached his iconic crawl space laugh, Aaron dreaming as Jesse, and Bryan & Aaron’s marriage tips. It’s one of our favorite afternoons we’ve ever had. Thanks for watching. We respect you!
