@@BrianKim-ij6gh I love telling the story but... It's much too long and funny and I won't do it justice here... But in its basic form.. we were all out one night getting no good... Cops stopped us and well... We were gifted with a ticket. ( In those days, $100 was a lot of money for a high school guy ) Our "friend" decided to fight the ticket in court, so we all ditched school and showed up in the court room. ( Think the scene in the movie Animal House). Anyhow.... I'm making this as brief as possible but there's so much more to story! Anyhow... Bob shows up in a suit "pretending" to be a lawyer and goes around the courtroom handing out business cards!!! "I'll be your lawyer"... he tells everyone along with telling jokes. It is so surreal and ironic... The courtroom so much hilarity that the judge got pissed and sentenced to my friend to a bigger fine! That's the short story! I still have one of those business cards that Bob was passing out!! The irony!!! Wow.

To me Bob Odenkirk is like a senior in high school the cool one you wish you could party with and i'm stuck a freshmen. Anyone that doesn't know just how cool and old this guy is he was the one who wrote the famous Farley bit Livin in van down by the river. He be so funny to party with. He is Hollywood immortality
Bob Odenkirk is a real scholar of screenplay and cinematography, he is a real genius and understands the characters he plays with an depth I rarely see.
I fell in love with this guy watching BCS... He is just incredible
Bon Odenkirk is so underestimated. truly a hidden gem. Excellent actor
He deserves this and more. Been an underdog for so long.

Better Call Saul is on par with Breaking Bad this season, absolutely loving it.
What a great guy. Funny dude. He was made for the Saul Goodman role
I'm so glad I didn't give up on this show even when the writing was slow. I'm sad season 6 will be the last but so excited for it nonetheless. BCS is prob one of the most underrated shows ever.
Mans is truly a top tier actor, the whole cast in the BB universe is tbh. Legendary performances all across the board.
Usually when they do a spin off to a great show, it's not really on the same caliber. Better call saul is just as good as BREAKING BAD, I started watching the show 3 days ago, now I'm halfway the third season, really great stuff
His son had a fake ID? Slippin' Jimmy made that for him, I'm sure.
I sweare, I love him. I Just rewatching Breaking Bad after ate whole Better Call Saul series. It's amazing.
People born in 1962 Tom Cruise, Jim Carrey, Steve Carrell, Bob Odenkirk...
I'm really happy Bob went on to be so successful after Mr. Show. Just like David Cross they both found different but very successful paths to even greater success. Makes me happy
