"What happens when one of Breaking Bad’s most unhinged villains gets arrested for… spraying someone with a garden hose?"In this wild and unpredictable episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive into two juicy Breaking Bad stories that are equal parts hilarious and head-scratching. First up: Raymond Cruz, the actor behind the infamous Tuco Salamanca, finds himself in real-life trouble after allegedly blasting his neighbor’s daughter with a garden hose. Was it an accident, or did Tuco go full Tuco?Then, the crew shifts gears to a fascinating behind-the-scenes revelation from Bob Odenkirk, who shares how he landed the role of Saul Goodman—without even auditioning. From sketch comedy roots to dramatic stardom, Odenkirk’s journey is a testament to timing, talent, and the power of a good writers’ room.

(00:23):

of the first villains in Breaking Bad season late season
one into season two. And if you haven't seen the show,
I'm sorry, go watch it. Maybe watch Better Call Saw
first into Breaking Bad. Quite a challenge is that Raymond Cruise.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I gotta see Raymond Cruz's face.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
And he's been in several things where he plays the
wild ass personality like an unhinged guy.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yeah, he's got crazy eyes for sure, and he sniffs
snorts some like crack rock right off the knife, and
yeah it starts acting crazy. Well, he he's just got
out of jail. That's the good news here.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Oh he really wasn't jail.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Well, he went into jail for a couple of days
because uh maybe it was just a day here because
he got well, he allegedly sprayed his neighbor's daughter with
a garden hose.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
How old is she?
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Don't know? Didn't say in the article. It's important.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
See, I mean she could be older than him.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
I think she's I think she's an adult because I
think they would have I think it'd be different if
it was a kid.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Someone called the police, claiming that Tuco was named Raymond
Cruz in real life, assaulted their daughter, allegedly blasting her
with a garden hose.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
He was washing his car and asked the girl to
move out of the way. When she didn't, she allegedly
get sprayed and believed he did it on purpose. So
then they called the cops. He gets taken to jail
and processed.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I mean, how long was he in jail for for that?
I think maybe just a couple of hours from thirty minutes.
His agent had him bonded out by the time he so. Uh,
that's tough, though, to go into jail. Is this Where
was this in Los Angeles? Yeah, it's tough to go
into that tough LA jail County jail. What are you
in for? I sprayed someone with a garden hose?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Yeah? Like what?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah, I don't know if you're going to make it
out of county.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
But think about the people though, who might have watched
Breaking Bad. Beck it's tuco hold on here. Yeah, he
would immediately own the jail he was in for he
was in gin pop for ten minutes. He would own it.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Man, I am super curious about the age of the
girl because I think that matters massively. If it's a child,
just can't do that no matter what, right, unless it's
your friends with the family and you're just goofing her
on a you know. But it didn't seem like that. Yeah,
he was upset with her for not moving. But if
(02:45):
it's an adult, I don't know, Man, you really are
going to go to the police about getting sprayed with
the water hose?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Also, what's the water pressure? Yeah, right in the eye.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
So I don't know. We'll follow up if we find
out the age. Great Benjamin's audio yesterday. This is Bob
Odenkirk doing a thing on People magazine about how he
actually got hired at Breaking Bad. It's pretty interesting.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
So I started at the end of the second season
of Breaking Bad. I expected to be on three or
four episodes. I didn't get asked to do dramas very often.
I was hired from this job, not from an audition.
I did not audition for Breaking Bad. I was hired
because of Mister Show. Mister Show was very well liked
by rock and roll musicians who are on tour buses,
(03:30):
twelve year old's, thirteen year olds whose parents had HBO,
and writers. Writers really appreciated, I think the quality of
the writing on Mister Show. And so Mister Show was
watched avidly in the Breaking Bad writer's room. I think,
as like a break from the intensity of that show,
(03:51):
the weld go let's watch a sketch. So they knew
me and my work, and when they hit upon this
character of Saul Goodman, they immediately thought of me as
a possibility. And I was offered the role. And I
didn't know the show. And I called a friend that
somebody i'd been writing with, to say, have you ever
heard of this show? And I go Breaking Bad and
he goes, that's the best show on TV. You have
(04:11):
to say yes to it. At the time, Breaking Bed
was not a success. In fact, it was almost canceled
the first two years. And I had a great time
and I learned about acting from acting opposite Brian Kranston. Mostly. Yeah,
this was acting school for me. And I got paid
for it too.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Not a lot.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
It's really amazing how a nondescript of an everyday sort
of actor Brian Cranston was and what he became through
Breaking Bad. Yeah, you know, I mean, I think he
was looked at as just an ensemble guy to blend
in the background, and you know, obviously he's got amazing
chops and it's just you have a role like that
(04:52):
that elevates you.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
That's the way.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
The other day I was slipping around and saw ten
minutes of gandel Feine on Get Shorty. That's the way
for Gandolfini until the Sopranos, and then everyone just started worshiping.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
The gap right, just takes the right break at the
right time. Yeah, all right, there you have it, Breaking
Bad Back in the news. Coming up in just over
three minutes. It's the Audio bubble Bath. A new baseball
fart is uncovered. We'll examine it next
