I'm blessed and honored, my friend. I was part of the biggest show ever, Breaking Bad, right? Yeah. And then four years later to be part of Better Call Saul, it's a blessing.

50.134 - 53.236 Host

And it's rare to have not only one show, but two hit shows. Two.

53.996 - 71.531 Host

To tell you the truth, I was scared when they announced that they were going to film Better Call Saul because you know how I said Breaking Bad ended perfect. Yeah. Top rated show ever. It was the greatest show ever. People consider it, most people. And I was happy. I'm great. I was proud of it. And they announced Better Call Saul and I'm thinking, oh no.

72.112 - 75.875 Host

You know how they make that prequel or sequel and it ruins the show. Never goes well.

76.075 - 81.682 Host

I was nervous. It never goes well. I can't think of one time where the sequel was as good or better. Yeah, no.

82.162 - 105.783 Host

And I saw the first few episodes and I'm thinking, okay, this is great. You know, and even happier when they... I did not work first season. I worked on second season of Better Call Saul. And I was just... so happy, really called me, included me. It ended up being better for me as an actor than Breaking Bad because they gave me more episodes, more love, they gave me more screen time.

Chapter 5: How Has Twitch Changed Luis Moncada's Life?

0.129 - 22.178 Host

How did we grow up so messed up the way we are? Tuco, man, part of the cartel was Tuco, Lalo, Tio Hector, myself. How did Gus get involved in the cartel? Because Gus is a complete different, you know, he could actually be a real businessman for the Pollos Hermanos chain, right? He could have succeeded doing good, but he chose to go on the cartel route and start doing bad stuff.
