Speaker 1 (00:07):
Thank you very much, But to tell you something about
a wild and news reporter and a helicopter who said
way too much. But first I want to play this
for you. This is the lady that owns the Breaking
Bad House, and tons of tourists still go to Albuquerque
and they go by and want to take a picture
of the house. I've often said it's the Dally Plaza
(00:28):
of Albuquerque. But if people get too close, it's kind
of known that this lady ain't having it and she
just hates that there's tourists there all the time. So
someone recorded video or audio of her. She's also got
a hose with they're ready to spray at him too.
So here you go bite.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Because I'm not a Jack Morman. Have you seen anything
else but breaking bad stuff since you've been here. You
can take a picture from that corner.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Do not get close, and no tripod, no, no nothing,
just click snap.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Her what then you go.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
She's amazing yelling at people.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
It seems like she could really make some money if
she just leaned into it. Yeah right, right, Like did
they actually shoot the interior shots there at a studio?
I wonder, yeah, I wonder on that because if the
house is this. I'd give tours of it, man, yeah, or.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Stay at the breaking bad House.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
That house always creeped me out. What was the design
of it and something about the way that house kind
of I mean, obviously there's dark scenes that happened in
that show in there, but like it.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
Was depressing and his car was super depressing. He had
that weird green station wagon, which when it came out
it was kind of futuristic.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
It had weird lines. What I forgot what crash landed
in the backyard.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
It was up the doll from the plane. Okay, the
doll that had one eye. Oh, there's a plane crash
over the back right, right, right right. She should have
that sitting on the front door.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Well what people used to do pizzas and try to
throw them on the roof. So that's got it. She's
dealt with a lot of bs here.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
But like I was looking at pictures of it, and
it is kind of fenced off quite a bit where
it's like it's she's got a big gate there now
if she wants to leave and get back home, Like
it's like that. You wouldn't see it on a normal driveway,
Like driveways normally don't have a gate like that.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
She could change the door and paint the brick if
she wanted to, and it'd probably run everybody off.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
You're an old lady, you don't want to move. You've
lived there forever.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
But I am amazed that people are still coming by
there so often.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
I know it's been how long. I mean, we're twelve
years since the show.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
And yeah, I think there's zero to do in Albuquerque, Okay,
and so you kind of have to do that, right, I.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Could see that, But really most places there's zero to do. Yeah,
it's good. Think about like the world.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Yeah, think about America, Think about rural America outside of
the big cities.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
What is Where do you go in El Paso? You
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Sonic, Dude, Sonic is killing it. I love going to Sonic.
We can hang out there for hours. Feet Yeah. See
if we've tumbleup on some road, flares, throw them around,
tumble on some road. Stu Mandel is the helicopter reporter
for Fox eleven in LA, and they were covering the
No Kings protest on Saturday, just kind of hovering above La.
(03:15):
And you know they're not going to air this live
on Fox eleven that just have it. We'll send you
to their YouTube. And then the live chat on the YouTube,
man Stu Mandel started talking a little bit about his
personal life, and I thought it was pretty funny.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
You know what, I don't care. I am married, I
am legally married.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I am legally married.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
That's about the only way you can really say it.
But I am not looking at now at all. I uh,
I just had a bunch of debacles with my personal life. Yes,
it's true. I know it's hard to believe. I got
nothing right now, got nothing, got nothing, not really looking
trying to find myself and be happy. I'm being serious
about that. I want to be beholden to no one
(03:54):
at this moment, you know, do I got lonely? Of course,
but I got cats.

Speaker 5 (04:23):

he wasn't reporting anything.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
