Thomas Schanuz in an interview with Entertainment Weekly said we will hear exactly what that conversation was...

The money doesn't matter at all. Read several articles today including an interview with Thomas Schnauz, plain and simple Jimmy/Saul/Gene is an addict, and pulling scams is his drug. He just can't NOT do it. He has to get over on everybody, no matter what the cost.

Upgraded to a new computer and am copying everything from my old one(s), ran across a video I downloaded years ago of the 1989 concert in Venice. Great show, best parts screencapped below:

I’m a child of the’70s-80’s, but did anyone actually watch Max Headroom? I just remember the Coke commercials and the Art of Noise video. I know there was a tv show, what the hell was it about? I guess I was busy chasing tail at the time…_

A little fyi

Looks like yttv added a few channels including the Weather Channel. Only way I found out was because KVUE was gone from my guide so I went to go investigate, not sure why but it was at the bottom of the channel list, you will have to go manually add it back to your grid.

You would think that, but who the hell knows with this show? They've got 3 timelines they can bounce around in, anything is up for grabs, although they've got roughly 3 hours left to do it...

Couple of cool things I found on youtube. First, the whole sub-text of Gene wanting to be Saul again, sitting at home watching his old commercials... Compare the opening credits from season 1 to season 6 (and especially the one from this last episode where basically the tape broke/wore out) Secondly, remember that every teaser comes back in some way. This last episode we had the "Jeff pulling up in his cab and getting out" visual, along with the "After all that... a happy ending" and the "Don't get greedy..." sound bites, though not in the misdirection they used it in the teaser. So we have the new teaser from the other night, with the crossroads, but we also have the teaser of Kim reciting her law oath with the candle with Howard's blood on it. So from past history, we are going to get to see Kim reciting that oath. I think Jimmy/Saul comes clean in the end and Kim represents him. But maybe not... Also been pointed out how Marion is much more of a sharp cookie than Jeff, she may have something on Jimmy/Saul/Gene that complicates things. She mentions that Jeff had some rough times back in ABQ, but what if she lived there for a while also? She may be running a con on him that we haven't seen yet... Just spitballin'.

Reminds me of some Arky hick what was friends with my parents back in the day, "Oh, ZZ Top, I love him!".

Agree, I'm still a Roger fan though. Wasn't planning on going to see him again, Been to Pros & Cons, KAOS, The Wall twice. I was happy with that. Hearing rumblings that this might be it for him though (he IS 78 after all), and time waits for no one, so think I'm gonna scrounge up a couple of tickets for me and my son, one last time.

Some really good insight into this last episode Better Call Saul Q&A — Director Michael Morris On The "Enormous Deaths" That Led To The Birth Of Saul Goodman

And that’s fair. Wife was out until 9pm, trying to be chivalrous and wait for her, so I just dug in once she got home, toasting be damned. Tomorrow I will atone

Had a pork butt in the freezer since Christmas, H‑E‑B was having a sale at the time.. Great thing about working from home is that you can work and cook at the same time, so smoked that sucker yesterday, sammies last night and loaded baked taters tonight

Side bar - probably been mentioned before but this guy does a poster for every episode of BCS since the beginning, they are brilliant.

Fuck that's a great catch. Easter eggs wide out in the open, that's hilarious.

I think she was just protecting Jimmy again. It immediately reminded me of the scene with Lalo, "tell it again", "tell it again". Maybe Howard's widow was trying to find a crack in Jimmy's story, but Kim swooped in and shifted direction, putting it on Howard's wife, ("You knew him better than anyone", Kim using that knowledge that Howard and his wife had been basically separated for over a year.... cold.) But I do think that was the straw that broke her. Both having to do that to Howard's widow, and protecting Jimmy one last time (and realizing that trying to protect him from Lalo is what pretty much led up to this moment), she just realized she couldn't continue down that path. Jimmy had already learn to compartmentalize his grief and fear (Chuck, the shootout in the desert, Howard), unlike what Mike said, Kim is not made of stronger stuff. Or she just still has a soul.

According to this article, Walt and Jesse show up in next week's episode. Also pretty funny what they went through... https://ew.com/tv/bryan-cranston-aaron-paul-better-call-saul-cameos-big-surprise/

Took me a minute to figure out who he was in The Wild Bunch, he played T.C., one of the miscreants in Robert Ryan’s gang.

Very cool. (Was trying to find iconic clip of George getting out of his Mercedes and going inside, screen shot below....)

Exactly, nobody is talking Lalo out of anything, he's letting them do exactly what he wants them to do. Even in that black moment though, had to bust out laughing first when Lalo had to shut them up, essentially "yap yap yap with your mouths, Dios mio!" and then later telling Kim, "get your shoes, you'll need them". Some fine dark comedy mixed in there.

'Preciate it. It's been 19 years, I'm over it, as much as I can be, still think about him every day. What just makes my blood boil is shit like this, you know you're guilty, just fucking take your punishment and quit dragging the other family through all this bullshit just because you want to stave off going to prison. Be a man and face your consequences. Don't use fucking law loopholes to squirm out of it. I remember when my brother's killer was sentenced, we agreed to a plea deal, 13 years with a mandatory 8.5 years before possible parole. It was in the Statesman and on TV. Some cocksucking lawyer linked the Statesman article to his blog and said, "See? This is what happens when you have a bad DWI attorney. My clients would never had gotten this sentence". Needless to say me and a bunch of my brother's friends roasted his ass into oblivion. Sorry to derail this bitch. I'm fine, really. Will go have a drink in a little bit and raise one to my brother.

Fuck, this has my blood pressure up, brings back memories I had put down almost 20 years ago when my brother was killed by a drunk driver. Took almost 2 years to even get close to going to trial due to all the goddam delay tactics, motions, challenging the APD blood labs, bullshit like that. Cocksucking leeches. Don't tell me it's the law, it's the law written by cocksucking leeches.

Also saw a comment that Mike probably knew Howard from working the parking lot at the courthouse. Not that they hung out, but certainly exchanged greetings from time to time.

Exactly, Jimmy was willing to die for Kim at that moment. He just wanted her out of there, hoping that she understood what he was doing and thinking - "just run, and don't come back".
