00:00:00.000 What Breaking Bad teaches us about politics, Moon.
00:00:02.820 Breaking Bad is one of the most important TV shows ever made.
00:00:06.420 It's undoubtedly the greatest social commentary in existence,
00:00:09.840 and its core message will continue to transcend time.
00:00:12.580 Which is why Breaking Bad won the Guinness World Record
00:00:14.800 for being the most critically acclaimed show of all time.
00:00:17.540 So what's so important about Breaking Bad?
00:00:19.460 What's the reason behind its popularity?
00:00:21.440 What does Breaking Bad actually tell us about the world around us?
00:00:24.160 And most importantly, what does Breaking Bad tell us about ourselves?
00:00:27.000 Well, truth is, Breaking Bad's about far more than meets the eye.
00:00:30.700 Because Breaking Bad serves as an essential message
00:00:33.040 that has never been as relevant as it is today.
00:00:35.600 The story begins with Walt's life falling apart.
00:00:38.060 Walter White is trapped in the mundane.
00:00:39.840 He's trapped in a loveless marriage,
00:00:56.140 trapped inside a dead end.
00:00:57.320 Working in a job he hates, scrubbing tires and shit like that.
00:01:00.180 He's a wagey.
00:01:01.360 He's in the Matrix.
00:01:02.300 He has no control of his life.
00:01:04.140 And his wife, like you see the sex scene,
00:01:05.740 his wife just gives him a limpy ass handjob
00:01:07.880 that he doesn't even want on his birthday.
00:01:10.000 It's sad.
00:01:11.040 There's no balls left in him.
00:01:12.560 He's stuck in the Matrix.
00:01:14.120 They have taken all his power away.
00:01:16.480 So the main transition in the show in season one,
00:01:19.120 when Walt shaves his head
00:01:20.420 and decides to start selling meth,
00:01:22.260 he goes,
00:01:22.700 I am awake.
00:01:25.820 I'm awake.
00:01:27.800 That's what I want to do with the stream.
00:01:29.380 I want to awaken people.
00:01:31.020 Not woke.
00:01:32.720 Become awake.
00:01:34.860 Become who you naturally are again.
00:01:36.900 Become alive again.
00:01:38.480 People suppress it so much,
00:01:40.080 they tell you to take your meds,
00:01:41.920 do the,
00:01:42.340 like they want to control you.
00:01:44.360 They want to domesticate you
00:01:46.560 and be this.
00:01:48.600 Then teaching job.
00:01:49.820 Trapped economically with little to no money,
00:01:52.160 working another job on the side
00:01:53.440 just to pay the bills and survive the next day.
00:01:55.940 Everyone in this life sees him for what he is,
00:01:57.980 a lifeless mule.
00:01:59.220 But this wasn't always the case.
00:02:00.720 Prior to being a teacher,
00:02:01.860 Walter earned an award in proton radiography,
00:02:04.420 which was given for his contribution
00:02:05.780 for his research that earned a Nobel Prize.
00:02:08.140 After graduating from university
00:02:09.640 with his stellar credentials,
00:02:11.160 he went on to create the highly successful company
00:02:13.220 called Grey Matter Technologies,
00:02:14.920 co-founding the business with his intelligent
00:02:16.380 and respectful girlfriend, Gretchen.
00:02:17.960 In this time, Walter White had it all.
00:02:20.100 Respect, money, a loving girlfriend
00:02:21.720 and limitless potential.
00:02:23.280 But all of this was now just a distant memory,
00:02:25.520 with Walter now living an entire life of regret.
00:02:28.480 In season five, episode six,
00:02:30.240 Walt tells Jesse about his deep-seated resentment.
00:02:32.820 He tells Jesse about his time
00:02:33.920 co-founding Grey Matter Technologies
00:02:35.300 and that after his breakup with Gretchen,
00:02:37.360 Walt decided to leave the company
00:02:38.580 and sell his shares for a measly price of $5,000.
00:02:42.080 What ended up becoming like a billion dollar company.
00:02:44.380 He sold out so that he could be with my wife
00:02:47.720 and then be in a small little condo
00:02:50.040 and work a wagey job washing cars
00:02:53.100 and teaching chemistry to high school kids that hate me.
00:02:57.300 He conformed.
00:02:58.740 He did what they tell you to do.
00:03:01.460 Get a job that you hate.
00:03:03.700 Marry a wife who hates you too.
00:03:06.140 Don't do anything you like doing
00:03:07.800 because that's mature.
00:03:09.520 Fuck maturity.
00:03:10.540 If that's what mature is, man,
00:03:11.560 I want to jump in pools, be on private jets all over the world,
00:03:15.660 making bread, smashing a hose.
00:03:18.380 I don't want that lame-ass life.
00:03:20.040 I don't know about you,
00:03:21.240 but if that's what you think mature is, go ahead.
00:03:23.920 Since leaving the company,
00:03:25.220 he tells Jesse that the company is now worth $2.16 billion,
00:03:29.380 stating that he looks at the company's valuation every week.
00:03:32.420 I sold my kid's birthright for a few minutes, right?
00:03:35.280 After leaving the company behind,
00:03:36.760 he went on to work in a research lab
00:03:38.260 until meeting Skylar at a diner
00:03:39.660 where they had their first child and bought their first house.
00:03:42.360 But in this time,
00:03:43.120 Walt was still ambitious,
00:03:44.300 thinking of bigger things,
00:03:45.440 certain of fulfilling his destiny.
00:03:47.060 Which is why Walt tells his new wife Skylar
00:03:48.660 that they need to get a bigger house
00:03:49.940 and take a risk to live above their means
00:03:51.820 as he's certain they will only go up.
00:03:53.620 Of course, this dream was only a dream.
00:03:56.600 Walt's career never gets higher than being a high school teacher,
00:03:59.120 where he teaches apathetic students
00:04:00.700 mundane basic chemistry year after year.
00:04:03.340 Walter understandably feels left behind.
00:04:05.300 He never reached his full potential.
00:04:06.740 His family disrespects him,
00:04:08.280 his former business stands above him,
00:04:09.920 his money and finances are underwhelming.
00:04:12.100 And then to top all of this off,
00:04:13.940 Walter is diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer,
00:04:16.720 which comes with medical fees that are more than enough
00:04:18.860 to completely bankrupt him and his family.
00:04:21.260 And this starts to bring in one of the most important parts
00:04:23.220 of this whole series.
00:04:24.260 Whilst it's subtle,
00:04:25.360 the series makes this key point
00:04:26.780 in showing the absurdity of how similar
00:04:28.660 Big Pharma is to the illegal drug trade.
00:04:31.080 In America, drugs for terminal illness
00:04:32.740 and rare diseases can cost over $3 million.
00:04:34.800 With these vital medicines being inflated
00:04:37.380 purely for the gain of a few pharmaceutical titans.
00:04:40.400 You can't trust anything that profits off your body,
00:04:43.580 that profits off of you, even hospitals.
00:04:45.800 Steezy told me something today that blew my mind.
00:04:47.860 He had a hospital bill for $2,000.
00:04:50.700 Then he posted on a story like,
00:04:52.140 what the fuck?
00:04:52.840 I don't even remember what this appointment was for.
00:04:54.820 And then his friend called him up, Alejandro,
00:04:56.720 and said, bro, don't pay that.
00:04:59.320 All you gotta do is call up the hospital
00:05:01.020 and ask him to break down what the bill was for.
00:05:04.660 So that $2,000 turned to $70.
00:05:08.000 What they did on the phone?
00:05:09.400 Well, I'm sorry.
00:05:10.260 Well, I'm just, well, I apologize.
00:05:12.300 Well, and we deduced.
00:05:14.160 Two-minute phone call went from $2,000 to $70.
00:05:19.140 They scam your health.
00:05:21.500 They lie about everything.
00:05:22.560 These price markups are becoming deadly.
00:05:26.760 And what's even scarier is that the FDA who regulates Big Pharma
00:05:29.640 is now becoming regulated by Big Pharma.
00:05:32.000 You see, the Food and Drug Administration
00:05:33.420 used to be funded by the government.
00:05:35.220 But today, the FDA is funded by the institutions and companies
00:05:38.320 it's supposed to regulate.
00:05:39.760 In fact, 45% of the FDA is solely funded by fees companies pay
00:05:44.000 when applying for medical approval.
00:05:45.360 And this has, in turn, led to the FDA
00:05:47.340 to almost double the amount of accepted applications.
00:05:49.640 And in diseases where there aren't many medical options for patients,
00:05:53.240 89% of these applications were approved first time round by the FDA.
00:05:57.420 Which, of course, allows Big Pharma to have an extremely tight grip.
00:06:00.740 Ha!
00:06:03.560 Whoa!
00:06:05.060 Bomboka!
00:06:06.080 Whoa!
00:06:08.600 I trust Big Pharma?
00:06:11.840 Well, 90%-
00:06:13.140 Fucking 95% of you did.
00:06:15.940 Blindly trust them.
00:06:17.060 Big Pharma and government works hand-in-hand
00:06:20.620 to control you as much as possible.
00:06:24.700 Whoopsie!
00:06:25.660 Oops!
00:06:27.440 Oops!
00:06:28.780 ...over American society,
00:06:30.320 where the most influential businesses in America
00:06:32.440 profit from the suffering of its customers.
00:06:35.660 But not me, though.
00:06:36.840 All of you.
00:06:37.340 To the point where prices are so jacked up
00:06:39.520 that a highly educated teacher with two jobs
00:06:41.960 faces the very real prospect of going bankrupt.
00:06:44.760 A prospect of leaving nothing to his name and family
00:06:47.540 just to pay the exorbitant bonuses of Big Pharma's CEO.
00:06:50.940 And you guys are saying this show is sad?
00:06:52.420 This is the reality for a lot of people
00:06:54.280 and they don't ever realize it.
00:06:55.620 It's exactly for this reason
00:06:57.100 that Walt is put into a nightmarish conundrum.
00:07:03.380 In business, money is equated to value.
00:07:05.540 The wealth of an individual is correlated
00:07:07.180 with the amount of value they provide to society.
00:07:09.420 However, when it comes to drugs that save human life,
00:07:11.720 does this same standard hold true?
00:07:13.200 This is exactly the question Breaking Bad works to answer.
00:07:16.260 And it's also why Breaking Bad's first season
00:07:18.060 couldn't have been produced at a better time.
00:07:19.900 Breaking Bad was first produced in 2008,
00:07:22.200 the exact same year as the financial crash,
00:07:24.420 where the banks got bailed out
00:07:25.640 and the bubble was inflated exponentially.
00:07:27.840 And the people paying the price for this
00:07:29.160 was the average American worker,
00:07:30.940 via quantitative easing, money printing, and inflation.
00:07:33.580 While at the same time, the public's wages stagnated.
00:07:36.240 Which is why Walter White represents
00:07:37.740 the average middle-aged man in this time.
00:07:39.540 Walter is repressed, overworked, underpaid,
00:07:41.820 can't afford a doctor, can't afford a family,
00:07:43.820 all while the people at the top are indifferent.
00:07:45.780 Hey.
00:07:47.780 Stop believing that rich people, money doesn't buy happiness.
00:07:51.720 Bro, I've been around a lot of millionaires recently.
00:07:53.640 I just came back from Puerto Rico
00:07:54.680 chilling with these fucking crypto millionaires
00:07:56.420 and they're trying to inspire me
00:07:57.600 and like fix my mindset
00:07:58.500 because I think like a broke person.
00:08:00.240 And being around them, bro,
00:08:01.500 they're genuinely the happiest people I've ever met.
00:08:04.180 You gotta stop believing that.
00:08:05.640 That, well, these rich people,
00:08:07.820 they are happy.
00:08:08.960 Trust me.
00:08:09.760 They live life.
00:08:10.780 They get to do what they want,
00:08:11.720 when they want.
00:08:12.360 They eat the best food,
00:08:13.180 fuck the baddest bitches,
00:08:14.640 jump in the best pools by the best beaches,
00:08:17.060 whenever they want.
00:08:18.180 Right now, tomorrow,
00:08:19.200 they work only on their phone.
00:08:20.580 They don't need to obey anybody.
00:08:22.120 Of course they're happier.
00:08:23.660 Stop believing that.
00:08:25.300 Walter is unable to afford a standard of living
00:08:27.480 that provides him with basic dignity.
00:08:29.300 Embroiled in debt,
00:08:30.220 no savings,
00:08:30.880 no money,
00:08:31.400 living an atomized, transient, lonely life
00:08:33.380 with just a few months to live,
00:08:34.760 Walt is now thrown into the abyss.
00:08:36.700 This is all a recipe for radical change
00:08:38.780 because nothing matters anymore.
00:08:40.380 His family doesn't care about him,
00:08:41.480 his peers look down on him,
00:08:42.520 and death is imminent.
00:08:43.820 At this point,
00:08:44.540 there's nothing left for Walter to lose.
00:08:47.580 Nothing.
00:08:48.480 The story of Walter White
00:08:49.580 is a story of Walter's transition
00:08:51.160 into Breaking Bad.
00:08:52.460 God damn right.
00:08:53.740 In fact, Walter White represents a concept
00:08:55.560 I talk about often,
00:08:56.740 the idea of the young young shadow self.
00:08:58.620 At the start of the show,
00:08:59.520 we see Walter's typical persona.
00:09:01.260 Walt is just your normal, mild-mannered guy.
00:09:03.400 But the reason he's so normal
00:09:04.640 is because he hasn't been in abnormal circumstances.
00:09:07.540 But now with Walt suddenly being faced
00:09:09.020 with an overwhelming set of circumstances,
00:09:10.740 Walter decides to take on
00:09:12.380 some temporary abnormal action.
00:09:14.080 Give up on what they tell you to be.
00:09:16.880 And then you become happier.
00:09:19.180 Once you realize that it's all a scam,
00:09:20.840 it's all a lie.
00:09:21.900 We all even got cancer
00:09:23.200 from a bunch of fumes in the lab, bro.
00:09:24.960 It all comes from the top.
00:09:26.620 They give you cancer,
00:09:27.620 they feed you bullshit,
00:09:28.880 they scam the shit out of you
00:09:30.040 with all the health that they lie to you
00:09:31.840 and tell you that it's good for you.
00:09:34.120 They tell you to take these jobs, bro.
00:09:35.840 They will control you until you die,
00:09:38.880 until you're $200,000 in debt
00:09:41.060 and your family's got to take it over
00:09:42.900 because you got cancer from something
00:09:44.820 that wasn't even in your control.
00:09:47.900 Wake up, man.
00:09:49.000 I am awake.
00:09:50.840 Be like Walt.
00:09:52.120 Sell meth.
00:09:52.520 And so Walter begins his journey
00:09:54.240 into the world of meth and brutality.
00:09:56.260 And all of this backstory
00:09:57.160 is essential to understanding
00:09:58.380 the broader meaning of Breaking Bad.
00:10:00.220 Because the transformation of Walter White
00:10:01.720 throughout Breaking Bad
00:10:02.660 is a warning that every member in society
00:10:04.800 can become evil in the right circumstances.
00:10:07.680 You watching this right now
00:10:08.720 could very well become a tyrant.
00:10:10.360 You could easily become the monster you hate.
00:10:12.300 And this has been documented
00:10:13.360 in the real world so many times.
00:10:15.420 One of the most famous examples of this
00:10:17.140 was the book called Ordinary Man.
00:10:18.860 Ordinary Man's this book
00:10:19.800 about German policemen in World War II.
00:10:21.340 These police were sent into Poland in the war,
00:10:23.960 rounding up stadiums of people
00:10:25.480 and shipping them off in trains,
00:10:27.100 where these policemen would commit
00:10:28.480 the worst atrocities imaginable.
00:10:30.680 It was so bad that these policemen
00:10:32.080 would become physically ill
00:10:33.380 by what they had to do.
00:10:34.460 And yet the most striking part of all of this
00:10:36.240 is that they had the choice to not do it.
00:10:38.340 They didn't have to do any of this,
00:10:39.760 and yet they consciously chose to.
00:10:41.600 The book highlights the very real way
00:10:43.240 you can end up in this evil place
00:10:44.920 just one step at a time.
00:10:46.240 It shows how these awful events
00:10:47.700 like those in World War II
00:10:48.800 can't just be understood as historical fact,
00:10:50.920 because instead,
00:10:52.200 we need to understand the casual pathways
00:10:53.960 towards this transformation,
00:10:55.480 because all these evil atrocities
00:10:57.020 happen at one step at a time.
00:10:58.640 Which is why in the case of Breaking Bad,
00:11:00.260 we need to understand Walt's full backstory
00:11:02.040 to understand the true reality
00:11:03.620 of how any one of us
00:11:04.700 could become a ruthless drug lord
00:11:06.100 given the right circumstances.
00:11:08.600 Walter first tiptoes into the drug trade
00:11:10.560 when his DEA brother-in-law, Hank,
00:11:12.360 invites him on a drug bust.
00:11:13.700 There, he sees his former student,
00:11:15.340 Jesse Pinkman,
00:11:16.060 running away from the scene.
00:11:17.880 Pinkman?
00:11:18.280 Having known Jesse
00:11:19.280 and needing a quick, easy way
00:11:20.640 of making money,
00:11:21.700 Walt offers to cook with him.
00:11:22.880 The partnership being that
00:11:23.780 Walt does the cooking
00:11:24.580 and Jesse does the selling,
00:11:26.040 using each other's strengths
00:11:26.920 to make a quick buck.
00:11:28.140 You, uh,
00:11:29.360 you want to cook crystal meth?
00:11:31.020 After some convincing,
00:11:32.080 the two begin working on
00:11:33.040 You, uh, bitch,
00:11:35.100 want to cook crystal meth, bitch?
00:11:36.680 in their first batch.
00:11:37.720 This is Walt's first step
00:11:39.340 into Breaking Bad.
00:11:40.540 Walter is outwardly rejecting
00:11:41.840 any handouts
00:11:42.620 from his former business partners,
00:11:43.860 all to earn a big amount of cash
00:11:45.320 and respect before he dies.
00:11:47.040 Because that's what matters more.
00:11:48.620 Like, that's,
00:11:49.380 it's not just about the money,
00:11:50.720 it's about the respect.
00:11:51.800 It's about how you feel.
00:11:52.980 It's about your character.
00:11:54.320 He rejected all those handouts
00:11:55.740 because then you just be a bitch
00:11:57.100 to the guy who gave it to you.
00:11:58.720 I don't want to work for nobody,
00:12:00.140 neither does Walter, man.
00:12:01.240 And as a man,
00:12:02.020 you really know that deep down.
00:12:03.480 A lot of these guys in the chat
00:12:04.480 would lie and say,
00:12:05.200 like,
00:12:05.260 if somebody offered me a million,
00:12:06.540 I would take it.
00:12:07.880 But then you really,
00:12:09.120 you're never going to respect yourself
00:12:10.740 to the degree
00:12:11.880 that you need as a man.
00:12:13.620 But in this time,
00:12:15.340 Walt is incredibly naive
00:12:16.560 to the criminal world
00:12:17.400 and sees criminals
00:12:18.060 as rational humans
00:12:19.020 he can talk to with respect.
00:12:20.460 But this doesn't last for very long.
00:12:22.100 After Jesse Pinkman
00:12:22.920 sells Steeler Crazy 8,
00:12:24.420 Crazy 8 lures them out
00:12:25.440 and threatens to kill Walt and Jesse
00:12:26.880 and steal their formula.
00:12:28.060 To survive this nightmare scenario,
00:12:29.640 Walt creates a poisonous gas to escape.
00:12:31.560 Although somehow,
00:12:32.380 Crazy 8 narrowly survives the gas.
00:12:34.360 So now Walt is faced
00:12:35.360 with his first major moral conundrum.
00:12:37.320 What possible choice
00:12:38.180 do you have at this point
00:12:39.000 when you have a drug dealer
00:12:39.900 who wants to kill you
00:12:40.880 and will kill you?
00:12:41.900 There's only one option.
00:12:42.800 So Jesse and Walt flip a coin
00:12:44.380 and sure enough,
00:12:45.560 Walt is now forced
00:12:46.400 into killing Crazy 8.
00:12:47.900 As you'd expect,
00:12:48.860 this moment taints Walt's soul
00:12:50.340 and the transition
00:12:51.240 into the shadow self
00:12:52.140 is underway.
00:12:52.940 Because not only is Walt
00:12:53.880 cooking drugs
00:12:54.520 and being involved
00:12:55.120 with the death of Crazy 8,
00:12:56.340 but Walt is constantly absent.
00:12:57.900 He's lying to his family.
00:12:59.060 He's hiding his cancer,
00:12:59.900 his relationship
00:13:00.440 with Jesse and his whereabouts.
00:13:02.020 All of these lies and actions
00:13:03.140 are eroding his moral filter
00:13:04.420 and this brings about
00:13:05.400 exactly what he's trying to avoid.
00:13:07.760 His lies are breaking apart his family.
00:13:09.940 And with the trauma
00:13:10.660 of Crazy 8's death,
00:13:11.640 this whole situation
00:13:12.660 is becoming too overwhelming.
00:13:14.280 So Walt decides that for now,
00:13:15.480 it's time to stop this mad fantasy.
00:13:17.340 Maybe he should just accept his fate
00:13:19.000 as a meek,
00:13:19.680 mild-mannered,
00:13:20.300 docile man.
00:13:21.320 Nope.
00:13:22.160 But then what happened before
00:13:23.640 on his birthday,
00:13:24.560 he just,
00:13:24.880 this was what he got
00:13:25.620 from his wife.
00:13:28.140 Weak little handy.
00:13:30.080 And he's like,
00:13:30.480 let me just fall asleep.
00:13:32.020 But look at her now, man.
00:13:33.180 The PTA meeting.
00:13:34.520 Woo!
00:13:35.400 So Walt ignores Jesse's suggestion
00:13:37.040 to keep cooking
00:13:37.800 and goes back to his regular life.
00:13:39.520 But this is a hit to his ego,
00:13:40.860 his pride.
00:13:41.740 He's back to the milquetoast life
00:13:42.980 he was so desperate to escape.
00:13:44.460 Back to having no control.
00:13:45.940 Back to being just another consumer.
00:13:48.300 Wagey!
00:13:48.880 Brokey!
00:13:49.400 I have 10 supercars
00:13:50.520 and 10 mansions.
00:13:51.600 My perspicacity's
00:13:52.520 on a different level.
00:13:53.640 I can steal your energy
00:13:54.760 with my mind.
00:13:56.240 I can kill you
00:13:57.320 with my tattoos.
00:13:59.580 All the girls in the world.
00:14:01.660 I have Aikido.
00:14:02.600 I've won four kickboxing champions.
00:14:07.000 With these feelings
00:14:07.980 and the money starting to come in
00:14:09.040 from the last cook,
00:14:10.220 Walter can't help
00:14:10.860 but quickly dip his toes
00:14:11.900 back into the underworld.
00:14:13.200 So Walt and Jesse
00:14:13.780 get back to cooking
00:14:14.620 after Jesse finds
00:14:15.520 a new distributor,
00:14:16.560 a psychotic and evil distributor
00:14:18.100 known as Tuco.
00:14:19.160 After Jesse goes up to him
00:14:20.280 to sell their batch,
00:14:21.420 Tuco beats
00:14:21.940 Tuco is my favourite character
00:14:23.240 to up Jesse
00:14:23.700 and steals his batch
00:14:24.640 without paying any money for it.
00:14:26.240 So Walt makes the conscious decision
00:14:27.620 to go back
00:14:28.240 and finish the business deal,
00:14:29.520 telling Tuco
00:14:30.000 he wants the money
00:14:30.840 in compensation
00:14:31.400 for what he did to Jesse.
00:14:32.600 After Tuco laughs
00:14:33.400 and threatens him,
00:14:34.420 Walt blows up
00:14:34.980 his entire building.
00:14:36.020 This is the moment
00:14:36.760 we get to see
00:14:37.420 a milquetoast,
00:14:38.180 mild-mannered man
00:14:38.940 merging into his shadow self,
00:14:40.420 releasing all this pent-up rage,
00:14:41.940 aggression and repression
00:14:42.800 into finally becoming
00:14:43.700 someone he respects.
00:14:44.840 With death ticking
00:14:45.560 in the background
00:14:46.200 and his unfulfilled life
00:14:47.360 awaiting him,
00:14:48.200 Walt's able to bring
00:14:48.900 his shadow self
00:14:49.520 into reality
00:14:50.180 through the persona
00:14:50.960 known as Heisenberg.
00:14:52.320 This shadow self
00:14:52.980 is manifested
00:14:53.520 through all of Walt's life,
00:14:54.920 all the sacrifices
00:14:55.820 Walt made for other people
00:14:56.740 to like him,
00:14:57.520 all the humiliation,
00:14:58.600 all the fake smiles,
00:14:59.600 all the facades.
00:15:00.560 All of this
00:15:01.100 is bubbling away at Walt,
00:15:02.220 having his business ideas
00:15:03.500 taken away from him,
00:15:04.500 having other people
00:15:05.200 take credit for his genius
00:15:06.260 with nothing
00:15:07.240 ever going his way.
00:15:08.420 For most of Walter White's life,
00:15:09.860 he has been a pushover
00:15:10.980 and Walt like many-
00:15:11.800 And now,
00:15:12.980 where's he Bugatti?
00:15:14.300 I've got a Bugatti.
00:15:16.280 I've got a Bugatti.
00:15:17.100 I've got a Bugatti 10 supercars.
00:15:18.560 Many of us think
00:15:19.040 that being a pushover
00:15:19.900 is a good thing
00:15:20.620 because Walter White
00:15:21.400 confuses harmlessness
00:15:22.280 with morality.
00:15:23.440 But just because
00:15:24.060 you can't do damage
00:15:24.920 doesn't mean you're moral,
00:15:26.060 which is exactly
00:15:26.760 what we start to see
00:15:27.500 in Breaking Bad
00:15:28.220 because the show
00:15:29.060 highlights the very real way
00:15:30.300 that harmless people,
00:15:31.300 pushover mule-like people,
00:15:32.640 are far from moral.
00:15:33.860 Angry because you're
00:15:34.700 doing your best
00:15:35.400 and you're trying
00:15:35.840 to get along with everyone
00:15:36.760 and nothing ever goes your way.
00:15:39.180 Well, it's because
00:15:39.980 you're a pushover.
00:15:41.040 Just because you can't
00:15:41.740 do any damage
00:15:42.420 doesn't mean you're moral.
00:15:43.500 It just means you're...
00:15:44.500 You don't have
00:15:45.500 the capability for mayhem.
00:15:48.200 And that makes you a pushover.
00:15:50.120 You can't say no to people
00:15:52.220 and you'll go along
00:15:53.240 with the crowd.
00:15:53.800 And then if the crowd
00:15:55.100 does something
00:15:55.580 particularly pathological,
00:15:57.360 which it's liable to do,
00:15:59.080 you won't be able
00:15:59.640 to resist it.
00:16:00.420 And that's exactly
00:16:01.080 what we see with Walt.
00:16:02.100 He's always having to lie.
00:16:03.160 He's manipulating
00:16:03.780 those around him
00:16:04.480 in mild ways.
00:16:05.320 He's even hiding
00:16:05.940 his disease to his family
00:16:06.860 out of cowardice,
00:16:08.080 with Walt doing all of this
00:16:09.220 just to escape confrontation.
00:16:11.040 But in the criminal underworld,
00:16:12.400 Walt takes on
00:16:12.940 the Elias Heisenberg,
00:16:14.020 which allows him
00:16:14.540 to be the man
00:16:15.000 he never was.
00:16:16.000 His testosterone increases,
00:16:17.300 his attitude changes
00:16:18.260 because Walt
00:16:18.900 is becoming a new man.
00:16:20.380 A man with a mission,
00:16:21.400 a man with respect.
00:16:22.820 Walter White is morphing
00:16:23.780 into a ruthless,
00:16:24.840 assertive man
00:16:25.560 taking what he wants
00:16:26.540 and saying what he wants.
00:16:28.020 With this aggressiveness
00:16:28.920 coming out to those
00:16:29.660 around him and his students,
00:16:30.940 it's a very stark contrast
00:16:32.160 to the beginning of the show
00:16:33.220 because Walter White
00:16:34.300 is finally breaking bad.
00:16:36.200 You're goddamn right.
00:16:37.580 You're goddamn right.
00:16:39.920 I am the one who knocks.
00:16:45.660 You're goddamn right.
00:16:47.240 But before we continue
00:16:48.120 the story,
00:16:48.500 Ah, you're goddamn wrong.
00:16:51.500 Well, it's possible
00:16:52.160 Now back to the video.
00:16:58.840 The first major sign
00:16:59.720 of Walt's shadow
00:17:00.300 self-dripping into
00:17:01.120 his personal life
00:17:01.960 is seen with his
00:17:02.740 encounter with Gretchen,
00:17:03.940 where Walter releases
00:17:04.760 his repressed anger at Gretchen.
00:17:06.540 A sudden change
00:17:07.140 to the friendly mild man
00:17:07.980 of front he was
00:17:08.540 so accustomed to putting up.
00:17:09.980 His abrasive rejection
00:17:11.000 of her playing a role
00:17:11.880 in his life
00:17:12.440 comes with him
00:17:13.020 aggressively telling her
00:17:13.960 to leave him alone.
00:17:15.160 Similarly, in another scene,
00:17:16.400 Walter is brutal
00:17:17.040 with his failing student
00:17:17.840 telling him,
00:17:18.380 a fail is a fail,
00:17:19.760 telling the student
00:17:20.300 that he doesn't care
00:17:21.020 for the consequences
00:17:21.800 of his own failures.
00:17:23.140 And in the underworld,
00:17:24.060 Walter's quick to capitalize
00:17:25.100 on any opportunity,
00:17:26.300 no matter the morals
00:17:27.000 behind it,
00:17:27.540 to maximize his profits.
00:17:28.940 A real businessman,
00:17:30.060 because that's what
00:17:30.500 they all do.
00:17:31.480 We think Walt
00:17:32.340 is a bad person,
00:17:33.560 but this is what
00:17:34.400 every single person
00:17:35.400 who actually makes money
00:17:36.420 to that level,
00:17:37.500 that's what they all do.
00:17:38.140 They don't give a fuck.
00:17:39.660 They don't give a fuck.
00:17:40.600 For example,
00:17:41.460 when word of mouth
00:17:42.020 spreads that Jesse
00:17:42.720 was the one who killed
00:17:43.400 the meth head
00:17:43.860 who robbed Skinny Pete,
00:17:45.160 Walt uses this opportunity
00:17:46.240 to gain more power,
00:17:47.300 reputation,
00:17:48.000 and money for his primary goal.
00:17:49.540 And again,
00:17:49.900 this is seen with Walt's
00:17:50.700 willingness to kill Badger
00:17:51.740 in prison after his lawyer's suggestion,
00:17:53.700 highlighting the newfound
00:17:54.500 ruthlessness
00:17:55.060 that has saturated his psyche.
00:17:56.920 Walter White's descent
00:17:57.740 into the shadow self
00:17:58.680 perfectly mirrors the descent
00:17:59.920 of those to scart an ordinary man.
00:18:01.800 In this book,
00:18:02.400 the author makes a key point
00:18:03.480 in showing how in every society
00:18:04.900 across cultures,
00:18:05.820 religions,
00:18:06.280 and epochs,
00:18:07.080 people always see
00:18:07.980 career advancement.
00:18:09.020 In every society,
00:18:09.820 the majority of people
00:18:10.800 will act awfully.
00:18:11.800 They will be evil.
00:18:12.780 They will engage
00:18:13.360 in disgusting behavior
00:18:14.500 in the name of progress.
00:18:16.120 The book concludes
00:18:16.800 that about 85 to 90%
00:18:18.300 of people will,
00:18:19.300 when given a sufficient
00:18:20.080 position of power,
00:18:21.200 carry out any action,
00:18:22.420 even if murderous,
00:18:23.340 in order to fulfill
00:18:24.160 the idea of improvement.
00:18:25.640 In the book,
00:18:26.160 this immoral action
00:18:26.880 comes with shooting
00:18:27.620 unarmed civilians
00:18:28.340 to ensure the progress
00:18:29.260 of the German nation.
00:18:30.180 But this example
00:18:30.800 isn't some anomaly.
00:18:31.960 The Stanley Milgram experiments
00:18:33.160 found that most people
00:18:34.040 would commit and inflict
00:18:35.080 physical pain
00:18:36.100 on another human
00:18:36.900 if they thought it brought
00:18:37.860 security by following orders.
00:18:39.820 The rare people
00:19:01.380 who didn't commit
00:19:02.060 these acts
00:19:02.560 were those who had
00:19:03.320 integrated the shadow
00:19:04.280 and persona self
00:19:05.060 to become a grounded
00:19:05.820 human being.
00:19:06.540 So if we use this
00:19:07.380 spiritual knowledge,
00:19:09.120 the idea of Walt
00:19:09.800 shrugging off his moral
00:19:10.660 framework starts to
00:19:11.440 make a lot of sense.
00:19:12.720 Now in this point
00:19:13.360 in the series,
00:19:14.080 Jesse is scarred
00:19:14.740 by the death
00:19:15.200 of the meth head
00:19:15.780 who robs Ginny Pete.
00:19:17.180 And added on to
00:19:17.920 the witnessing of this death
00:19:18.960 is a growing reputation
00:19:20.000 after Will Gets Out
00:19:20.980 that Jesse was involved
00:19:21.980 in the murder.
00:19:22.780 The combination of
00:19:23.500 these two things
00:19:24.040 brings a wave of pressure
00:19:25.040 that Jesse can no longer handle.
00:19:26.600 So after falling in love
00:19:27.580 with an addict next door,
00:19:28.740 Jesse eventually becomes
00:19:29.700 numbed in a cloud of drugs.
00:19:31.180 And yet at the same time,
00:19:32.260 their lawyer Saul Goodman
00:19:33.200 brings in a new distributor
00:19:34.360 for their product.
00:19:35.340 This time the distributor
00:19:36.280 is the calm and collected man
00:19:37.600 known as Gus Fring.
00:19:38.720 However, the catch is
00:19:39.700 that Gus only works
00:19:40.640 with reliable partners.
00:19:42.000 And after seeing
00:19:42.520 Walt's partnership
00:19:43.140 with the drug addict,
00:19:43.900 Jesse,
00:19:44.480 Gus is understandably hesitant
00:19:45.700 to work with them.
00:19:51.720 Although after Walt
00:19:52.420 convinces Gus
00:19:53.220 they come to a deal.
00:19:54.460 So now Walt needs
00:19:55.120 to get the product to Gus.
00:19:56.400 Because if he can deliver
00:19:57.320 this product on time,
00:19:58.480 Walter will have more money
00:19:59.520 than he ever dreamed
00:20:00.380 of making in the first place.
00:20:01.760 However, Jesse is becoming
00:20:02.960 less and less reliable.
00:20:04.000 Falling into a drug spiral
00:20:05.260 with his addict girlfriend.
00:20:06.500 With Jesse's girlfriend
00:20:07.380 luring him away from the business.
00:20:08.720 Look at her sucking
00:20:09.680 your energy, bro.
00:20:10.820 They're not a good influence
00:20:11.960 on you.
00:20:12.320 They're just going to encourage
00:20:13.100 your bad behavior
00:20:13.820 because they can't lead.
00:20:15.260 If you're in a bad place,
00:20:16.920 she will make you worse.
00:20:19.200 Focus on yourself, Jesse.
00:20:20.420 And into a new life
00:20:21.440 far away from home.
00:20:22.640 She wants to escape with Jesse
00:20:23.840 and threatens Walt's whole plan.
00:20:25.400 So when it comes to
00:20:26.080 the big deal with Gus,
00:20:27.180 Walter's left to do
00:20:27.900 the deal himself.
00:20:28.960 When Walter wives are Jesse's,
00:20:30.260 he sees Jesse and Jane
00:20:31.320 passed out on drugs.
00:20:32.340 With Jane vomiting
00:20:33.440 and suffocating
00:20:34.280 in a drug-induced haze.
00:20:35.760 And then added on to this,
00:20:37.220 Walt's wife births
00:20:38.040 their new child.
00:20:38.920 Whoa, that was fucked up
00:20:39.700 that I just laughed
00:20:40.280 at her choking.
00:20:40.920 Did you just see that?
00:20:42.300 Damn, why did that
00:20:43.180 trigger a laugh out of me
00:20:44.160 that I saw her conv-
00:20:45.140 Suffocating in-
00:20:45.960 Whoa, I really just
00:20:47.220 laughed at that, bro.
00:20:48.080 Is something wrong with me?
00:20:49.580 I mean, I have seen
00:20:50.240 this show seven times
00:20:51.200 because I know that scene,
00:20:52.160 but like, I should not
00:20:53.200 have just like,
00:20:54.140 that was my automatic response.
00:20:55.940 Yo, I got shit to work on.
00:20:57.100 I got like, man!
00:20:58.380 Wow, bro.
00:21:01.140 Yo, don't clip that part.
00:21:02.460 Don't clip that part.
00:21:03.780 In a drug-induced haze.
00:21:05.200 And then, added on to this,
00:21:06.640 Walt's wife births
00:21:07.480 their new child.
00:21:08.520 This whole situation
00:21:09.520 is the perfect conundrum
00:21:10.620 that represents
00:21:11.200 Walt's character.
00:21:12.240 Does he care more
00:21:12.980 about the new life
00:21:13.620 of his family
00:21:14.200 and the life of Jane?
00:21:15.280 Or is he more interested
00:21:16.320 in business and money?
00:21:17.960 The question is answered
00:21:18.820 with Walt's absence of action
00:21:20.060 in both of these events.
00:21:22.280 Jane's death marks the end
00:21:23.720 of Walt's mild-mannered
00:21:24.800 milquetoast life.
00:21:25.720 Because by this point
00:21:26.760 in Walt's descent,
00:21:27.720 there is no longer
00:21:28.380 any way out.
00:21:29.440 There is no redemption.
00:21:30.640 And that's why
00:21:31.120 it's this moment
00:21:31.840 that leads on to
00:21:32.460 one of the most important
00:21:33.460 parts of the series.
00:21:34.740 It was probably good
00:21:35.820 that Walt didn't save her,
00:21:37.020 though.
00:21:37.420 I ain't gonna lie,
00:21:38.140 like, he probably
00:21:38.660 really helped Jesse out.
00:21:41.620 Like, she...
00:21:42.460 What do you think, Chad?
00:21:43.600 If you saw this show,
00:21:44.780 is Walt a bad person
00:21:45.860 for letting her die?
00:21:47.120 Or should he have saved her?
00:21:48.720 I'm saying, yo,
00:21:49.400 he probably saved Jesse's life.
00:21:51.000 Because this next chapter
00:21:52.220 shows Walt's full shadow side.
00:21:54.080 And it's also this part
00:21:55.120 of the series
00:21:55.540 that conveys
00:21:56.040 the broader message
00:21:56.860 of the parallels
00:21:57.640 between Big Pharma
00:21:58.540 and the drug trade.
00:21:59.700 After the deal
00:22:00.300 between Gus and Walt,
00:22:01.520 Walt's shadow self
00:22:02.360 is stroked by Gus
00:22:03.120 to get him to cook more.
00:22:04.400 Gus strokes the shadow
00:22:05.240 by recognising
00:22:05.960 Walt's untapped genius.
00:22:07.600 He recognises his potential
00:22:08.840 and what he's capable of.
00:22:10.200 It's this recognition
00:22:11.060 that has been missing
00:22:11.820 in Walt's life.
00:22:12.780 Walt craves validation
00:22:13.740 for his work,
00:22:14.680 and Gus gives him just that,
00:22:16.320 offering Walter
00:22:16.940 three million dollars
00:22:17.960 for three months of work.
00:22:19.320 But the question is,
00:22:20.340 who is Gus?
00:22:21.120 What does the character
00:22:22.120 behind Gus represent?
00:22:23.900 Three million dollars
00:22:24.840 for three months of work?
00:22:26.860 It sounds good,
00:22:28.320 but Walt could have done
00:22:29.840 better on his own.
00:22:31.480 Three million
00:22:31.960 for three months of work?
00:22:36.280 Would you take that chance?
00:22:38.220 It's selling meth,
00:22:39.320 killing people?
00:22:40.620 I want 30 mil.
00:22:42.100 Well, in my view,
00:22:42.720 Gus's character represents
00:22:43.720 the cold and hollow facade
00:22:44.960 of the corporation,
00:22:46.040 and in particular,
00:22:46.900 the shadowy
00:22:47.460 Big Pharma industry.
00:22:48.300 While Gus is obviously
00:22:49.740 not trading legal narcotics,
00:22:51.440 the structure of his corporation
00:22:52.640 has a very similar framework
00:22:53.980 to Big Pharma,
00:22:54.920 which is why Gus's corporate
00:22:56.100 attitude to narcotics
00:22:57.260 is kind of scarier
00:22:58.240 than the thuggish dealers
00:22:59.100 we see up until now.
00:23:00.420 Professor David Pearson
00:23:01.400 examined this connection
00:23:02.380 between Gus Fring
00:23:03.220 and neoliberalism.
00:23:04.700 The source of capitalism
00:23:05.880 we-
00:23:06.060 Yeah, Gus Fring
00:23:07.420 is like a politician.
00:23:09.020 Gus Fring is all presentable,
00:23:10.440 cool,
00:23:11.020 has a nice front
00:23:11.940 of the burger shops
00:23:13.140 or whatever.
00:23:14.020 Los Pollos Hermanos,
00:23:15.180 the chicken store.
00:23:16.260 He's like,
00:23:16.780 nice attire,
00:23:17.460 everything.
00:23:17.640 He could run for politics.
00:23:19.660 He even had connections
00:23:20.540 with the DEA,
00:23:21.520 but deep down,
00:23:22.520 he's organizing,
00:23:23.720 like doing shady deals
00:23:25.080 across different borders,
00:23:26.820 owns the biggest drug ring.
00:23:28.900 That's exactly what's going on
00:23:30.420 in the real world, bro.
00:23:31.520 You know who the biggest
00:23:32.180 drug dealer is?
00:23:33.160 The DEA.
00:23:34.860 You know who owns
00:23:35.500 all the prisons?
00:23:36.580 Private companies.
00:23:40.540 It's just like that.
00:23:41.860 Gus Fring is the representation,
00:23:43.860 not just of neoliberalism,
00:23:45.500 of the elites.
00:23:46.400 They look good on paper,
00:23:49.280 on TV,
00:23:50.740 but they're the shadiest
00:23:51.700 motherfuckers out there.
00:23:52.900 We've been subject to
00:23:53.900 in recent years
00:23:54.500 that has led to the most
00:23:55.480 atomized,
00:23:56.300 meaningless,
00:23:56.920 nihilistic,
00:23:57.560 empty era in history.
00:23:59.080 And Gus represents
00:23:59.820 this attitude
00:24:00.500 where nothing is more important
00:24:01.760 than maximum profits.
00:24:03.340 Where to achieve
00:24:04.040 maximum profits,
00:24:04.960 you have to be
00:24:05.300 as bland as possible,
00:24:06.460 as fake as possible,
00:24:07.420 and as ruthless as possible.
00:24:08.960 Where there is no emotional
00:24:09.980 identity,
00:24:10.640 just pure greed.
00:24:11.640 I mentioned at the start
00:24:12.720 of this video
00:24:13.160 about Big Pharma's
00:24:13.900 influence over the FDA,
00:24:15.200 and how the regulators
00:24:16.020 of Big Pharma
00:24:16.800 are in fact
00:24:17.440 on the payroll
00:24:18.200 of Big Pharma.
00:24:19.240 Well,
00:24:19.500 this all corresponds
00:24:20.280 directly with Breaking Bad,
00:24:21.800 where those who are supposed
00:24:22.600 to regulate
00:24:23.140 monopolized criminals
00:24:24.000 like Gus
00:24:24.560 are in fact
00:24:25.120 on the payroll
00:24:25.800 of Gus,
00:24:26.520 with Gus and the DEA
00:24:27.620 being closely allied
00:24:28.580 with one another,
00:24:29.520 just like Big Pharma
00:24:30.320 is tied to FDA regulators,
00:24:31.740 the government,
00:24:32.300 and media.
00:24:32.800 This is because
00:24:33.640 to operate
00:24:34.180 such a monstrous empire
00:24:35.440 that feeds on the misery
00:24:36.660 of untold millions
00:24:37.860 through chemical dependence,
00:24:39.340 addiction,
00:24:39.920 and exploitation,
00:24:40.960 you have to have
00:24:41.420 this plastic friendly
00:24:42.400 and empty front
00:24:43.120 if you want to survive
00:24:43.900 under the radar.
00:24:44.840 It's fake empathy.
00:24:46.300 Look at him.
00:24:48.760 Those are the most evil people, bro.
00:24:50.180 It's exactly this framework
00:24:51.420 that led to Walter
00:24:52.140 becoming a drug lord
00:24:53.020 in the first place.
00:24:54.020 It's the model
00:24:54.560 that threatened to bankrupt
00:24:55.580 a regular high school teacher
00:24:56.960 and his family
00:24:57.500 for the sake of greed.
00:24:58.740 Now on the surface,
00:24:59.620 Gus is just a benevolent philanthropist.
00:25:01.440 He's a model citizen
00:25:02.380 providing jobs and security
00:25:03.720 for hundreds of people.
00:25:04.960 But the bottom line
00:25:05.680 is Gus is only doing this
00:25:06.940 because it's best for business.
00:25:08.400 Which is why the show
00:25:09.140 always highlights this divide
00:25:10.300 between his warm public persona
00:25:11.680 and his cold inner mind.
00:25:13.420 To convey this duality,
00:25:14.660 we see the fake smiles
00:25:15.680 that don't reach his eyes.
00:25:16.880 Basically,
00:25:18.680 Hillary Clinton.
00:25:20.700 Like,
00:25:21.280 Chilean,
00:25:21.980 black Hillary Clinton.
00:25:23.120 It accompanies
00:25:23.780 his consumer-friendly
00:25:24.560 speak and PR campaigns,
00:25:26.020 which is at odds
00:25:26.560 with the cold profit-ridden agenda.
00:25:28.200 It's the same
00:25:28.820 doggy-dog attitude
00:25:29.840 that has saturated
00:25:30.760 our economy,
00:25:31.380 manifesting the dot-com bubble,
00:25:33.320 the 2008 financial crash,
00:25:34.880 the opioid epidemic,
00:25:35.900 and now our current
00:25:36.560 economic stagnation
00:25:37.620 and massive levels of inflation.
00:25:39.560 Furthermore,
00:25:40.040 Pearson points out
00:25:40.720 that meth is just another drug
00:25:42.060 that fuels the neoliberal fetish
00:25:43.640 for productivity
00:25:44.340 because most performance enhancers
00:25:46.060 are legal.
00:25:46.860 Caffeine,
00:25:47.420 energy drinks,
00:25:48.080 steroids.
00:25:48.400 Yeah,
00:25:48.680 they make meth illegal,
00:25:50.640 but Chad,
00:25:51.580 you guys all telling me,
00:25:52.920 you know the ironic part
00:25:53.780 is that meth is illegal,
00:25:55.040 but every fucking person in here
00:25:56.540 every single day
00:25:57.680 who says,
00:25:58.460 take your meds,
00:25:59.020 take your meds,
00:26:00.160 that's meth.
00:26:02.100 Adderall's meth.
00:26:04.340 Amphetamines,
00:26:04.880 it's just meth in a pill.
00:26:06.200 It's called the same shit.
00:26:07.100 You look at the name of it,
00:26:07.720 Ritalin is called
00:26:08.260 Methylphenidate.
00:26:09.640 Adderall is an amphetamine,
00:26:11.460 methamphetamine.
00:26:12.060 It's the same shit,
00:26:12.920 just packaged in a nice little pill
00:26:14.540 and handed by a friendly doctor.
00:26:16.600 Ha ha,
00:26:17.240 take it little Timmy,
00:26:18.420 take meth in a pill
00:26:19.240 even though you're 12.
00:26:20.240 That was me.
00:26:21.020 So all of you
00:26:21.620 who are telling me
00:26:22.320 to take my pills
00:26:23.240 are telling me
00:26:24.120 to take legalized government meth.
00:26:28.220 Just if you didn't know that.
00:26:30.680 It's Viagra and prescribed Adderall,
00:26:32.020 which is pretty much meth in itself.
00:26:34.120 So in the end,
00:26:34.800 what is the moral difference
00:26:35.860 between Big Pharma
00:26:36.700 and Gus's empire?
00:26:37.900 There's hardly any difference
00:26:38.960 between the two
00:26:39.560 in terms of collateral damage
00:26:40.740 done to society.
00:26:42.040 Gus's first priority
00:26:43.040 is always profits.
00:26:44.240 Consumer and employee well-being
00:26:45.760 is always last.
00:26:47.000 Which is why the ruthlessness
00:26:48.020 and predatory actions
00:26:49.120 we associate with crime
00:26:50.240 isn't actually associated with drugs,
00:26:52.140 but more with the business behind it.
00:26:53.920 Gus represents the danger
00:26:55.040 of this neoliberal model of thinking.
00:26:58.780 When Walt sees Gus's new lab,
00:27:00.520 it seems like a success to Walt.
00:27:02.180 The lab's pharmaceutical
00:27:03.080 is industrial and secure.
00:27:04.820 Because Gus treats meth
00:27:05.900 like any other product or commodity,
00:27:07.860 meth is just another investment.
00:27:09.660 This corporate veneer
00:27:10.740 perfectly hides away
00:27:11.680 the destruction of the product
00:27:12.720 to its consumers.
00:27:13.420 It's almost as though
00:27:14.460 Walter's back to running
00:27:15.320 his all-grey matter business.
00:27:16.820 And over the series,
00:27:17.660 Gus continues to play
00:27:18.460 on Walter's deep-seated shadow side.
00:27:20.360 He understands the character of Walter
00:27:21.920 and his descent into the shadow.
00:27:23.520 Gus wants Walter
00:27:24.240 to continue his dissension
00:27:25.340 by luring him in
00:27:26.180 to becoming a full-time cook.
00:27:27.640 He plays on Walter's shadow
00:27:28.800 by using his psychology against him,
00:27:30.760 telling Walter
00:27:31.280 that a man provides for his family,
00:27:32.920 that a man does this
00:27:33.820 even when he's not respected or loved.
00:27:35.440 He simply bears up
00:27:37.440 or he does it.
00:27:39.480 Proving to Walter
00:27:40.160 that he is the great man
00:27:41.320 he was destined to be
00:27:42.340 and that Walter can be the man
00:27:43.940 to bring his family
00:27:44.640 to new heights of prosperity,
00:27:46.120 Gus strikes at Walter's shadow perfectly.
00:27:48.240 It seems as though
00:27:48.820 Walter is still motivated
00:27:49.820 by his family
00:27:50.480 and that his shadow side
00:27:51.460 is only used
00:27:52.020 as a survival mechanism.
00:27:53.600 But deep down,
00:27:54.340 Walter can't hide away
00:27:55.200 from the fact
00:27:55.800 that he's in too deep.
00:27:57.180 He knows he can't escape
00:27:58.240 his past actions.
00:27:59.220 He knows he's losing his family,
00:28:00.600 he's losing his moral grounding,
00:28:01.900 and now he's losing
00:28:02.620 his sense of self.
00:28:03.860 So in an effort
00:28:04.560 to end his pain,
00:28:05.680 Walter attempts to end his life
00:28:06.800 before things get out of hand.
00:28:08.460 As by this point,
00:28:09.320 Walt's life is spiralling
00:28:10.200 out of control.
00:28:11.160 Walter explains this perfectly
00:28:12.340 in the Fly episode,
00:28:13.560 where he tells Jesse
00:28:14.460 that he had the perfect time
00:28:15.620 to die
00:28:16.020 and become the hero
00:28:16.960 for his family,
00:28:17.800 and now he's just the villain
00:28:18.980 of his family story.
00:28:20.220 Just like the ordinary men
00:28:21.340 in Germany
00:28:21.700 who would drink themselves
00:28:22.540 to near death,
00:28:23.380 who would vomit
00:28:23.960 and commit suicide
00:28:24.900 after committing
00:28:25.680 so many atrocities.
00:28:27.160 Because like any human being,
00:28:28.560 the more extreme
00:28:29.100 your shadow self,
00:28:30.080 the more this internal pain
00:28:31.320 catches up with you.
00:28:32.340 And yet these men,
00:28:33.140 like Walter,
00:28:33.600 continued on with their actions anyway.
00:28:35.480 We continue to see
00:28:36.220 the shadow side
00:28:36.820 later on in the series.
00:28:38.140 For example,
00:28:38.680 we clearly see this
00:28:39.460 with Walt's indifferent attitude
00:28:40.620 when he murders
00:28:41.140 the killers of Tomas.
00:28:42.320 Whilst this killing
00:28:42.980 does seem justified,
00:28:44.240 considering these men
00:28:44.920 shot a child,
00:28:45.700 it's his brazen attitude
00:28:46.960 to murder
00:28:47.420 that cements his shadow self
00:28:48.680 as his primary persona.
00:28:50.000 This shows that
00:28:50.580 all the reservations
00:28:51.340 No more Walt,
00:28:52.300 just Heisenberg.
00:28:53.040 to murder
00:28:53.420 that he had
00:28:53.840 at the start of the show
00:28:54.680 is now fully dissolved.
00:28:56.100 It's the same reason
00:28:56.800 his murder of the innocent
00:28:57.700 cook, Gale,
00:28:58.460 is done so without
00:28:59.180 any hesitation.
00:29:00.360 However,
00:29:00.720 the real change begins
00:29:01.700 to happen around
00:29:02.320 season four,
00:29:02.920 episode nine.
00:29:03.840 After all the lies,
00:29:04.760 the fights,
00:29:05.460 the manipulation with Jesse
00:29:06.480 after all the deaths
00:29:07.520 and now with his life
00:29:08.440 threatened by Gus,
00:29:09.540 Walter can't help
00:29:10.280 but have another mental breakdown,
00:29:11.820 admitting his mistakes
00:29:12.700 are starting to catch up
00:29:13.700 with him.
00:29:14.140 Because his actions,
00:29:15.120 his shadow self,
00:29:15.800 his character
00:29:16.280 is bringing him
00:29:16.940 to a place far worse
00:29:18.120 than where he originally started.
00:29:20.400 Whilst at the same time,
00:29:21.600 Gus has repeated death threats
00:29:22.880 and use of brute force
00:29:23.840 to all those in his way
00:29:24.960 symbolizes the dissolving
00:29:30.320 of his fake friendly facade
00:29:31.800 where we see
00:29:32.500 the real Gus,
00:29:33.720 a man,
00:29:34.160 a corporation
00:29:34.720 who would remove anyone
00:29:35.780 in his way
00:29:36.300 as long as it ensures
00:29:37.340 his own success.
00:29:38.680 Gus's fake,
00:29:39.460 smiley public persona
00:29:40.500 is just a soft sell advert
00:29:41.840 like all these other
00:29:42.920 mega corporations
00:29:43.780 feeding their poisonous junk
00:29:45.060 into society.
00:29:46.240 Like Coca-Cola's
00:29:47.120 cringy fake happy songs
00:29:48.280 to sell their toxic syrup.
00:29:49.720 Or like Apple ads,
00:29:50.700 telling you to think differently
00:29:51.740 whilst also working
00:29:52.800 to stifle any free expression.
00:29:54.660 Because Coca-Cola
00:29:55.420 doesn't want happy,
00:29:56.280 healthy children,
00:29:57.180 just like Apple
00:29:57.860 doesn't want free-thinking
00:29:58.780 individuals
00:29:59.440 as none of this
00:30:00.360 is good for business.
00:30:01.660 And so when pressure
00:30:02.440 starts to damage
00:30:03.100 these profit margins,
00:30:04.260 the smiley happy faces
00:30:05.340 are quick to dissolve.
00:30:06.580 With the DEA on Gus's case,
00:30:08.120 a war between the cartel
00:30:09.180 and infighting
00:30:09.740 between Gus's workers,
00:30:10.960 the true face of Gus
00:30:11.900 starts to show.
00:30:12.840 And with Walter realizing
00:30:13.740 he's Gus's next target,
00:30:15.280 Walt's shadow self
00:30:15.960 grows exponentially
00:30:16.700 for him to survive.
00:30:17.620 Why is everybody
00:30:18.440 bald on this show?
00:30:19.240 The whole ordeal.
00:30:20.180 We see this through
00:30:20.820 Walt poisoning a child
00:30:21.740 to get Jesse back on the side,
00:30:23.280 where Walt puts his
00:30:24.000 innocent neighbor's
00:30:24.680 life in jeopardy,
00:30:25.640 and then of course
00:30:26.340 Walt eventually
00:30:26.960 blowing up a nursing home
00:30:27.980 to destroy Gus.
00:30:29.220 Walter has gone so far
00:30:30.580 into his descent
00:30:31.380 that he's at a point
00:30:32.240 where he would willfully
00:30:33.000 destroy the lives
00:30:33.700 of untold people
00:30:34.740 in a nursing home
00:30:35.580 to ensure his own survival.
00:30:37.300 By this point,
00:30:38.020 Walt was now the man
00:30:38.760 he feared,
00:30:39.400 giving us a good insight
00:30:40.440 to what's been forming
00:30:41.140 inside of Walter,
00:30:42.160 a pure monster,
00:30:43.380 while at the same time
00:30:44.200 Gus's final moments
00:30:45.180 are marked by his two faces.
00:30:46.200 I love that CEO.
00:30:47.460 Even though the CGI
00:30:48.180 is mad weird,
00:30:49.000 it's a fucking...
00:30:50.140 legendary.
00:30:52.140 ...basis,
00:30:52.820 his corporate
00:30:53.400 tie-adjusting orderly side,
00:30:54.940 and his empty hollow
00:30:55.900 and monstrous side.
00:30:57.060 These details perfectly capture
00:30:58.500 who these characters are
00:30:59.460 beneath the surface,
00:31:00.580 and even more importantly,
00:31:01.740 how destructive
00:31:02.340 their archetypes are
00:31:03.300 in the real world.
00:31:04.300 Now, all of this brings us
00:31:05.340 on to the final part
00:31:06.100 of the show.
00:31:06.820 Following the death of Gus,
00:31:08.020 Walter has undoubtedly
00:31:08.940 broken bad.
00:31:09.860 He's no longer recognizable
00:31:11.080 as the mild-mannered mule
00:31:12.200 of the first season.
00:31:13.220 Walter is now absorbing
00:31:14.300 Gus's persona
00:31:15.180 to further cement
00:31:16.100 his own power,
00:31:17.180 as Walter is now
00:31:17.800 the kingpin of the business,
00:31:19.300 which is conveyed
00:31:19.860 through his body language
00:31:20.740 and attitude,
00:31:21.520 all while his family
00:31:22.260 is tearing up
00:31:22.880 in the background.
00:31:23.840 But this doesn't matter anymore.
00:31:25.160 The initial point
00:31:25.860 of this mission
00:31:26.320 is now just a distant memory.
00:31:27.900 Because Walt's
00:31:28.560 repressed desires,
00:31:29.520 his repressed beliefs
00:31:30.400 and wants
00:31:30.860 are now finally fulfilled,
00:31:32.500 Walter is finally in control.
00:31:34.320 He's made the millions,
00:31:35.220 he's earned the respect
00:31:36.000 and recognition
00:31:36.540 for his genius,
00:31:37.760 and most importantly,
00:31:38.940 he's now feared.
00:31:39.980 The man who sold his shares
00:31:40.980 in Grey Matter
00:31:41.560 is not the same world
00:31:42.440 we see now.
00:31:43.100 He even has the opportunity
00:31:46.800 to sell his empire
00:31:47.620 for five million dollars,
00:31:48.960 but this doesn't even faze him.
00:31:50.260 As Walt tells Jesse,
00:31:51.160 he's no longer
00:31:51.660 in the meth business.
00:31:52.720 I'm in the empire business.
00:31:54.520 He's in the empire business.
00:31:56.100 Because his work,
00:31:56.920 his business,
00:31:57.460 now puts him
00:31:57.940 on the same level
00:31:58.580 as those he's so despised.
00:32:00.140 And besides,
00:32:00.780 he no longer has anything
00:32:01.580 to go back to.
00:32:02.500 His family and friends
00:32:03.320 are absent
00:32:03.780 and his old identity
00:32:04.740 no longer exists.
00:32:05.800 This show,
00:32:06.320 if you think about it,
00:32:07.040 is just a red pill.
00:32:09.400 Walter White is no longer
00:32:10.560 living a repressed
00:32:11.380 shadow fantasy.
00:32:12.120 Walter White's identity
00:32:13.380 is the shadow.
00:32:14.460 That's why he can now
00:32:15.240 ignore things
00:32:15.800 that would have
00:32:16.120 tainted his soul before.
00:32:17.340 Like for example,
00:32:18.060 the murder of the boy
00:32:18.680 who witnessed the train heist.
00:32:19.960 Because like Gus,
00:32:21.160 Walter only cares about
00:32:22.020 what's best for business
00:32:22.940 no matter the consequences.
00:32:24.640 Like Gus,
00:32:25.300 Walt removes his employees
00:32:26.340 without a second thought.
00:32:28.680 Walt's ensuing murder
00:32:29.740 of Mike's men
00:32:30.440 bears a stark contrast
00:32:31.720 to the Stanley Milgram experiments
00:32:33.220 I mentioned before.
00:32:34.380 Where over 80%
00:32:35.540 of participants
00:32:36.300 would inflict
00:32:36.960 near-death levels of pain
00:32:38.520 if they thought it would be best
00:32:39.660 for their own sake.
00:32:40.760 Find God.
00:32:41.640 I'm not like God!
00:32:42.820 We need to tap it
00:32:43.460 to our spiritual selves
00:32:44.400 so you don't have no empathy
00:32:45.540 like these people.
00:32:46.320 80% of people today...
00:32:47.420 These people would even
00:32:48.100 hear the screams.
00:32:48.860 They'd hear people
00:32:49.300 having heart attacks
00:32:50.160 and still continue
00:32:50.960 to inflict pain
00:32:51.820 without any emotion.
00:32:53.380 With their only reasoning
00:32:54.300 being they'd be better off
00:32:55.400 if they did it.
00:32:56.460 So as Walter looks
00:32:57.320 outside of his window,
00:32:58.500 he's able to remove
00:32:59.360 any sense of remorse
00:33:00.600 as his actions
00:33:01.340 are simply what's best
00:33:02.280 for his own sake.
00:33:03.220 But with his cancer diagnosis
00:33:04.460 coming back
00:33:05.160 and being reminded
00:33:05.860 of his ending life,
00:33:07.080 Walter starts to realise
00:33:07.920 that his shadow self
00:33:08.860 is only making his life worse.
00:33:10.640 His loved ones hate him,
00:33:11.880 Jesse fears him
00:33:12.620 and he has no one
00:33:13.380 but himself
00:33:13.840 to show his ego to.
00:33:15.100 So Walter chooses
00:33:15.940 to finally leave
00:33:16.680 his empire behind
00:33:17.620 as he realises
00:33:18.400 the true value
00:33:19.300 of the connections
00:33:19.880 he's abandoned
00:33:20.560 in the process.
00:33:21.660 After coming back
00:33:22.260 to some sort of normality
00:33:23.340 and trying to rekindle
00:33:24.280 his abandoned social connections,
00:33:26.000 Walt's actions
00:33:26.500 now finally catch up
00:33:27.740 with him.
00:33:28.280 Jesse realises
00:33:28.960 that Walter was the one
00:33:29.840 who poisoned the child
00:33:30.740 and Hank realises
00:33:31.700 Heisenberg was Walt's
00:33:32.880 all along.
00:33:33.700 Walter White is
00:33:34.280 And those people woke up.
00:33:35.860 Walt poisoned the child
00:33:38.720 He's finally met
00:33:39.400 with justice.
00:33:40.480 Everything sounds
00:33:41.380 like a metaphor
00:33:41.980 like the way
00:33:42.660 this guy analyses it
00:33:43.560 He starts to lose
00:33:44.180 everything.
00:33:45.100 He becomes responsible
00:33:45.960 for the death
00:33:46.520 of his brother-in-law
00:33:47.180 Hank.
00:33:47.780 He completely loses
00:33:48.720 all ties to his family
00:33:49.860 and any relationship
00:33:50.700 he might have had
00:33:51.280 with Jesse.
00:33:51.940 He loses most
00:33:52.760 of his money.
00:33:53.500 He's a dying fugitive
00:33:54.580 on the run
00:33:55.040 from the law.
00:33:55.940 Everyone he once knew
00:33:56.940 now despises him.
00:33:58.080 He's hidden away
00:33:58.760 on the lonely brinks
00:33:59.640 of society
00:34:00.280 in a cold,
00:34:01.060 depressing cabin.
00:34:02.340 Walter's final act
00:34:03.240 is his only redemption
00:34:04.120 as he wipes out
00:34:05.000 all the men
00:34:05.500 who enslaved Jesse
00:34:06.360 and stole his money
00:34:07.220 and the life of Hank.
00:34:08.360 The show concludes
00:34:09.240 with Walt dying
00:34:10.000 back in the lab
00:34:10.760 where it all began
00:34:11.560 with Walter's shadow
00:34:12.420 being the very thing
00:34:13.440 that brought him
00:34:13.980 to his knees.
00:34:14.620 It's all these
00:34:19.520 accumulating events
00:34:20.520 under his
00:34:20.880 Elias Heisenberg
00:34:21.800 that seems to represent
00:34:22.740 this catharsis
00:34:23.600 from the soul-crushing,
00:34:24.660 bland and mundane
00:34:25.500 life of before.
00:34:26.740 It's a reaction,
00:34:27.580 an explosion of repression
00:34:28.720 from his underwhelming
00:34:29.580 and unfelt existence.
00:34:31.180 Even before his diagnosis,
00:34:32.540 Walter was always sick.
00:34:34.020 Sick by following
00:34:34.740 a path of untrammeled
00:34:35.860 rationalism,
00:34:36.640 pettiness,
00:34:37.140 vindictiveness
00:34:37.720 and bottom-linism.
00:34:38.740 It was only after
00:34:39.740 his diagnosis
00:34:40.360 that Walter realised
00:34:41.260 how long he'd been sick.
00:34:42.340 So his whole psyche
00:34:43.500 began to produce antibodies
00:34:44.820 in response
00:34:45.360 to his underwhelming character.
00:34:47.160 Heisenberg
00:34:47.560 was just this enormous
00:34:48.520 effort at self-healing.
00:34:49.960 All the violence,
00:34:50.680 power or money,
00:34:51.340 what does this all
00:34:51.920 have in common?
00:34:52.700 It was a rejection
00:34:53.440 of his weak,
00:34:54.220 timid and cowardly character
00:34:55.500 through a reverse
00:34:56.100 version to his shadow side.
00:34:59.440 He had to run away
00:35:00.280 from his sterile existence
00:35:01.440 and the only way
00:35:02.480 he could get away from it
00:35:03.600 was a return
00:35:04.420 to what was untapped,
00:35:05.480 becoming the infamous Heisenberg,
00:35:07.560 a ruthless,
00:35:08.400 powerful and merciless man.
00:35:10.160 Ordinary men
00:35:10.800 parallels this exact
00:35:11.900 narrative
00:35:12.420 where free-thinking
00:35:13.520 ordinary people
00:35:14.320 and society
00:35:14.920 would willfully
00:35:15.520 turn into the monsters
00:35:16.400 they feared,
00:35:17.440 all one step at a time.
00:35:20.020 Because power corroses.
00:35:22.960 But if you wake up
00:35:24.300 early enough
00:35:24.920 then you won't
00:35:25.440 become insane like this.
00:35:26.700 You could still be
00:35:27.440 a good person
00:35:28.180 and get the money power respect.
00:35:29.540 We should never forget
00:35:30.600 the atrocities
00:35:31.340 of the 20th century
00:35:32.340 because these atrocities
00:35:33.560 were a warning.
00:35:34.500 We can't simply stop
00:35:35.420 of remembering these actions
00:35:36.420 as historical facts.
00:35:37.740 We have to understand
00:35:38.660 the pathways
00:35:39.340 that led to these atrocities
00:35:40.560 in the first place.
00:35:41.460 And so it all starts
00:35:42.620 with understanding
00:35:43.200 the perpetrators
00:35:44.000 of these evil acts.
00:35:45.380 To understand
00:35:45.780 how societies
00:35:46.580 would suddenly transform
00:35:47.480 into being
00:35:47.880 these nightmarish dystopias
00:35:49.240 we have to understand
00:35:50.200 the transformation
00:35:50.820 of these ordinary men
00:35:52.080 who become evil monsters.
00:35:53.820 The message of ordinary men
00:35:55.160 and Breaking Bad
00:35:55.940 is to show that
00:35:56.780 this is what
00:35:57.240 human beings are like.
00:35:58.540 You can think to yourself
00:35:59.380 right now
00:35:59.780 that you could never
00:36:00.360 be a Walter White.
00:36:01.260 You could never be
00:36:01.860 a ruthless monster
00:36:02.640 who sacrifices human life
00:36:05.000 for profit.
00:36:05.780 You can think
00:36:06.300 that you'd never be
00:36:07.000 the one inflicting
00:36:07.680 untold pain
00:36:08.420 onto another human being
00:36:09.440 because you were told to.
00:36:10.800 You could think
00:36:11.320 that you'd never be
00:36:12.080 the German
00:36:12.480 I'm a good person
00:36:13.660 guard committing
00:36:14.320 these vile atrocities.
00:36:15.680 But we're all
00:36:16.200 just products
00:36:16.700 of our environment.
00:36:17.540 But the statistics
00:36:18.420 say otherwise.
00:36:19.340 You probably would
00:36:19.960 do the same
00:36:20.520 and I'm no exception either.
00:36:21.720 I mean statistically
00:36:22.360 almost all of us would.
00:36:23.820 Which is why
00:36:24.240 we need to understand
00:36:25.120 the shadow within us.
00:36:26.360 We need to understand
00:36:27.080 what's repressed
00:36:27.780 inside of us.
00:36:28.620 The monster that's
00:36:29.220 bubbling under the surface.
00:36:30.480 Because only when
00:36:31.180 you integrate your shadow
00:36:32.160 can you be sure
00:36:32.940 of your character.
00:36:33.940 Only then can you
00:36:34.720 build a strong
00:36:35.280 moral foundation
00:36:36.000 that will guide you
00:36:36.720 through a virtuous life.
00:36:38.360 And elevate.
00:36:41.460 Hello, Iqbal!
00:36:42.360 The character of Walter White
00:36:43.460 is probably the best
00:36:44.360 portrayal of a man
00:36:45.160 who never remains
00:36:45.860 his dark side.
00:36:47.000 Whose shadow side
00:36:47.620 causes him to spiral
00:36:48.640 out of control.
00:36:49.740 Cole Young,
00:36:50.280 the man who coined
00:36:50.880 the idea of the shadow self
00:36:51.800 in the first place,
00:36:52.660 used to treat his patients
00:36:53.580 by paying more attention
00:36:54.600 to their future development
00:36:55.620 than their past actions.
00:36:57.100 To do this,
00:36:57.740 he tried to figure out
00:36:58.520 what his patient's
00:36:59.220 mental symptoms symbolized.
00:37:01.040 And that's something
00:37:01.740 which has been all too lost
00:37:03.100 in modern political discourse.
00:37:04.700 Where we blame
00:37:05.340 the symptoms that lead
00:37:06.240 to destructive action
00:37:07.120 rather than blaming
00:37:08.120 the roots of these symptoms.
00:37:09.680 We prescribe drugs
00:37:10.460 to treat symptoms
00:37:11.180 rather than integrating
00:37:15.040 and understanding
00:37:15.580 what's behind these symptoms
00:37:16.560 in the first place.
00:37:17.600 We study historical facts
00:37:19.180 rather than trying to understand
00:37:20.240 the casual pathways
00:37:21.160 behind them.
00:37:22.180 Cole Young explained
00:37:22.940 that no one is inherently
00:37:24.000 good or evil.
00:37:24.960 We all have a shadow
00:37:25.840 we keep locked within.
00:37:27.000 Under the right circumstances,
00:37:28.560 the shadow may manifest itself
00:37:29.900 clouding our judgment
00:37:30.680 or perhaps guiding us
00:37:31.560 down that behavioral path.
00:37:32.860 Walter White's shadow
00:37:33.540 was a prideful,
00:37:34.360 greedy,
00:37:34.600 and angry one
00:37:35.300 from the beginning.
00:37:36.080 He had put a heavy lid
00:37:37.200 on his shadow.
00:37:37.960 Or at least,
00:37:38.460 that's what he thought.
00:37:39.420 It just took the right
00:37:40.620 amount of pressure
00:37:41.280 for him to discover,
00:37:42.420 integrate,
00:37:43.000 and fully embrace
00:37:43.920 his shadow self.
00:37:44.960 So perhaps we should
00:37:45.700 start looking at our own selves
00:37:46.940 and what guides our actions.
00:37:48.200 And maybe we should start
00:37:49.240 to attack the roots
00:37:50.040 of our social problems
00:37:51.000 rather than always taking
00:37:52.100 temporary mitigated action.
00:37:55.660 Shout out to Moon.
00:37:57.060 Great YouTube channel.
00:38:00.280 You can steal this whole stream,
00:38:01.580 you can clip it all up,
00:38:02.300 it's all gonna go viral.
00:38:03.060 Some people are getting muted
00:38:03.880 for already from the E-Date.
00:38:05.940 I just saw people in the chat
00:38:06.820 saying that their shit
00:38:07.580 already got muted.
00:38:09.180 But,
00:38:09.920 Discord and description,
00:38:12.280 I want people to work together.
00:38:13.420 I want to keep spreading truth.
00:38:14.540 If you fuck with me,
00:38:15.480 if you want to keep spreading truth,
00:38:16.600 then we need to work together
00:38:17.420 because they censor this shit
00:38:18.160 on a regular basis.
00:38:19.320 Thank you to Aiden
00:38:19.740 for having me on the E-Date.
00:38:21.280 That shit was mad fun.
00:38:22.820 But also at the same time,
00:38:24.620 you can kind of take the red pill
00:38:25.840 from that E-Date.
00:38:26.740 Why the fuck did the large guy
00:38:29.060 who bought the bath water win?
00:38:31.460 Because the thought
00:38:32.760 wants to capitalize more
00:38:34.720 off of limps.
00:38:37.240 And the same thing.
00:38:38.300 She tried to say like,
00:38:39.080 yeah, you can't provide it for me,
00:38:40.420 bitch.
00:38:40.740 That's a shit test.
