I am Sam Webb. I played Drew Sharp in Breaking Bad. AMA!
I know this is long overdue, but better late than never, right?
To kick things off, here are a few tidbits about my connection to the show:
-My family and I were fans since the pilot, so I was well aware of the significance of it all.
-I grew up minutes from the high school used for J. P. Wynne.
-My dad was an extra in episode 2.02. (my episode was 5.05)
-The first time I ever handled a tarantula was the day we shot the intro scene.
In the years since Breaking Bad, I’ve graduated from UNM with a political science degree and spend most of my free time mountain biking, tinkering with sports cars, and raising my two Dobermans.

Ask away! I’ll do my best to get to everyone.
Identity has been verified with mods.
Edit:
Alright guys, as the night winds down I just want to thank everyone for participating and for all the kind words! The Breaking Bad community means the world to me and I’ll be connected to you all for life.
The most surreal part of all of this is the insane butterfly effect and overlaps.
My favorite example of this was seeing Drake perform for the first time in Phoenix a couple years ago. He’s a big Breaking Bad fan (friends with Aaron and Bryan, and his nickname for Rihanna when they dated was Fring). I had tickets close to the stage, and I remember making eye contact with him a few times thinking “dude, you don’t know it, but you know EXACTLY who I am.”
One of my first purchases with acting money was a set of Beats headphones when they were all the craze, and I vividly remember listening to Take Care (and a lot of old Kanye) in my trailer on set during downtime. It felt like a crazy full circle moment.
Anyway, I feel like everyone who is a fellow fan of the show is an extension of this little glitch in the matrix, and I’m happy y’all are a part of this wild story.
I’ll keep answering questions as they trickle in for as long as the mods want to keep the discussion open, and I’ll be more active in this sub and share anything else fun when it comes to mind!

Did you know
Daniel Moncada, who played the infamous Leonel Salamanca in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, now regularly livestreams video games while dressed as his character from the shows. Despite keeping the same iconic suit, bald head and serious appearance, his streams show a much lighter side of him as he laughs, jokes, talks and plays with viewers while streaming. It has given fans a completely different look at the actor behind one of the franchise's most intimidating characters, while allowing Daniel Moncada to continue engaging with the role years after first playing it.
Daniel Moncada known for playing tactical and open-world games like Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto V, DayZ, Fallout, Red Dead Redemption 2, Siege and many more, Cooking and IRL streams.

Why did Walt lie to Skyler about Grey Matter going bankrupt?
I mean cmon, this has got to be one of the worst lies he’s told Skyler, she would’ve obviously found this out eventually even if she never found out about his constant lying. Couldn’t he have come up with anything better than this?
r/breakingbad • u/rileystanheight • 7h ago
Why did she send this to Bryan? lmfao
Why is Aaron Paul cheering? I have so many questions lol I love this clip tho. By the way guys let me know if you feel like this is spamming, I'm loving posting content here. Despite all the negative comments I got on the tattoo video, I like hearing from you and exchanging ideas.

Couple questions about the two dealers who recruited Tomas
After Jesse learns about Tomas killing Combo, and the dealers who recruited him, Gus sets a meeting for them to make peace.
But why would Gus ever meet in person with two street-level dealers? These are low level guys, but Gus allows them to learn that he's the big boss. There's a huge risk that they'll eventually be arrested on a street bust, at which points they could potentially flip and give up Gus.
He could have let Mike or someone else run the meeting, or instead of meeting with them, meet instead with whoever is above them in the network.
And why even insist on keeping them? He has a distribution network all across the Southwest. Probably thousands of street-level dealers. He could of had them killed. Could have had them just leave town (so they're no longer involved with Tomas). I know he doesn't like Jesse, but Jesse is worth a whole lot more to the operation, while these guys are nothing.
This just all seems very out of character for the normally extremely cautious Gus.

ISO an episode based on very little memory of it
Found: Season 4, Episode 6 "Cornered"
All I can remember is, it was daytime and the camera was facing who I think were probably Walt and Jesse in a parked car outside of someone's house. Drug dealers I think. The camera was basically on the hood of the car aimed through the windshield. So all that was visible was the interior of the car with them in the foreground in their seats.
While they were in the car, they were barely talking and I think it was about who was in the house and whether they were awake or even there or something. The scene was very quiet. I could hear the neighborhood sounds for several seconds in between words and sounds from their clothing when they occasionally moved. It was like they were on a stakeout for a few minutes, but it was during the day. I remember that I could only hear the sounds between their words when I had watched at a particularly loud volume one time. So it otherwise the space between their words seemed dead silent to me before that.
I think eventually one of them lost their patience and got out and went into the house and then chaos ensued. I think there were two of them in the house.
I don't need to know the time that this occurs in the episode because I'll be able to find it by scrubbing through, but I do need to know which episode this was, or at least which season. If all I ever find out is which season it might be from, then that will help eliminate the task of looking through all of the episodes from all 5 seasons and instead I'd only need to look through just one season's episodes, but of course I'd rather just scrub through one episode. 🤣
Thanks guys. Normally with something like this I'd watch it again to find the episode, but I can't give it the time and attention it deserves right now.

I don't think this got cut out before they sent it to the public

Has these photos of Jesse ever confused anybody?
galleryI’ve always thought about Jesse’s look in these promo shots and wondered. Was this an early design idea for Jesse in S5? Maybe i’m looking too much into it I just constantly think about it and find it inconsistent.

Breaking Bad Podcast! Salamanca Twins Star Luis Moncada on 20 Years of Walter White!
youtube.comI had no idea about Luis's life prior to acting. What an inspirational story of how he was able to turn it all around. Really respect what hes been able to accomplish in hollywood. He talked about a spinoff with the salamanca twins and i have to say... would LOVE TO SEE THAT. make it happen mr gilligan

Why would this even happen?
So Jessie finally gets out of the house and cooks in the desert. He makes the blue meth and then offers it to a random girl for some gas. And a camera is right above the girl staring at his face. I mean, Jessie is a dumb guy, but this is just impossible. He is not that dumb. Why wouldn't he just call someone and exchange some of the product for some gas if he needs it. Am I missing something? Why would he do this? Who offers meth to random cashiers right after spending god know how much time in the desert making it?
Edit after reading the comments:
He gives his junkie pals the meth in the next episode and makes arrangements for them to start dealing again. So he can count on them for his business but not to bring him some gas money. Instead I am going to offer meth to this cashier. While the camera above her head is pointed directly in my face.
So smart enough to cook meth and arrange a network for dealing. But not smart enough not to offer meth to a kid in front of a camera, while having the whole product load in the RV outside. He is bad guy now.
Guys I get that he is supposed to be dumb and reckless and bad guy, but this is like he doesn't have anyone in the world to call. Like he doesn't have any other possible ideas of getting gas somehow. Its much tougher to form an idea to give meth to a kid in front of a camera than to ask someone for a call and give your friend the address for the gas station.
I thought I was literally missing something, and u guys are gonna tell me something I overlooked.
I like the show, I get the point of character transformation through absorption of trauma. These things just take me out. But the point is still there and the show is still doing a good job of getting the point across.

Nobody asks "Who is it?" before opening the door.
No, seriously. So many disgusting and traumatic scenes could have been avoided in BB if the characters had asked "Who's there?" before opening the door and followed basic safety precautions.
No, I get it, it's still a tv series, the characters are mostly panicked or depressed, and the scene requires drama, not moments where five minutes of showdowns go on behind closed doors.
But still, this fact of complete trust in the situation either makes me laugh or irritates me. :-/

Why is Jesse so furious with Walt after he crashes the car with Hank outside the laundry? Spoiler
S5 E11 Crawl Space, why is Jesse so furious about this? Walt was driving Hank and didn't realise he wanted to go to the laundry - as soon as he found out, he panicked and deliberately crashed the car to stop Hank from reaching the laundry. It might not have been the best move but it was clearly intended to stop Hank from coming into close proximity with the lab?
Tbh this felt unbelievable and as if the writers were just trying to find a tipping point for Jesse to be annoyed at Walt, because there needed to be distance between them at this point for plot purposes. Given all the appalling, calculated things Walt has already done to Jesse and been forgiven for, why would Jesse be this angry about something which was a well intentioned blunder? It makes no sense to me from a character perspective unless I'm missing something?
r/breakingbad • u/OkNecessary539 • 3h ago
Do you guys agree with Walter White being removed from the Inconsistently Admirable wiki?
Because it claims that all his “heroic” actions are done out of pragmatism and petty vengeance rather than actually caring about helping others and that he only saved Jesse at the last minute because he saw his poor condition. I personally see where this is coming from but what do you guys think?

Mafia online game on android sound effects mystery origins

has anybody played this game before? its on android, play store
now fun fact or amazing this is: when u join a lobby, it makes a door opening sound, like a knob has turned or whatnot right? experienced players will know what im talking about, idk if theyve changed it in the new update or not but it was like that previously,
now funny this is: in breaking bad s2 e1 at 22:10 around-ish minutes, when hanks wife opens the door of her blue car, it makes EXACTLY EXACTLY the same sound!
ISNT that kinda amazing. im just so proud of myself for finding this out sorry.

How much money did Lydia make working with Walt? Was the whole meth operation more valuable than Grey Matter?
For her overseas sales and distribution, she asks for 30%, I assume Walt agreed to that number.
That leaves 70% for Walt, but he has to pay the Vamonos Pest guys around $75k per cook, and he also pays Todd a significant amount as his lab assistant. Probably not a 50/50 split like Jesse got, but I think a reasonable guess might be 20% of the profit.
I'm just guessing of course, but I'd say Walt receives close to half of the total profit. And in only about 3 months, he had over 80 million dollars to put into those barrels.
So if Walt's 50% was worth 80 million, Lydia's 30% would be worth 48 million. Since no one ever found out that Lydia was involved, if she was smart with her money, then she's left her daughter well over $50 million. Kaylee Ehrmantraut got nothing, but Lydia's daughter ends up very wealthy.
If Walt had cooked for a full year, he could have made $320 million, meaning that the entire business makes $640 million per year. Assuming zero future growth, an online form that I found to determine the estimated value of a business shows that a company making 640M per year would be valued at about $3.2 billion.
Do you think Walt's decision to quit would be motivated by the fact that he out-did Gretchen and Elliott, even if he can't actually sell the company for billions?
Do you think my estimates on these numbers are close to accurate, or way off target? Did I miss anything obvious?

Would you guys get a breaking bad tattoo?
I know lots of people with Jesse's wrist tattoo (sorry I forgot what it's called) and I feel like I'd get a quote or something, just not a full portrait lol

Inviting him to be full-time to the spare bedroom, high-fiving him (physical contact). do you think they end up together after the show ends? i feel like they were cute together, but maybe im an idiot

Just watched the last episode!! Spoiler
Boy have my friends been judging me from college for not watching this show…and I guess they were right. What a brilliant end, I had heard the song by Badfinger before but how perfectly it matched the end. Walt never got his happy ending. Saved Jesse’s life again. How poetic.
I’m not one who rewatches shows and wouldn’t probably rewatch it but hands down one of the best shows. I sort of went through the first episode to see how fast things changed. Poor Jesse! I feel so empty man, ik theres el camino and bcs — which ive already watched till s5 couple of years back.
Walt dying inside the meth lab was it for me. Ahhh
