Not only is his name Walter White, his associate has a preexisting drug history, he got a divorce, he had a questionable lawyer, he even looked like Hector Salamanca. This is too good to be true.

He may be a meth chef, but he is not the one who knocks

The bomber jacket, the stance, the way he walked. He played Bryan Cranston really well

Fact that you could walk past this man without even knowing that he's a high level meth cook is crazy

The fact that guy is real, southern, cooked crystal meth in particular, and his name is actually Walter White, is beyond surreal to me!..

this is so crazy, someone should make a series about this

Growing up in Oklahoma and experiencing an addiction myself, I remember fellow users who’d often mention that “red phosphorus dope” and how it had “legs for days” I’m glad to be in a better place and no longer around these types of characters. Hearing this interview jogged my memory to these comments from “back in the day”

When the interviewer asked "when did your cooking hurt the family?" and the granddaughter said "did it ever really hurt the family tho?" LMAO. Obviously this guy knows how to balance his cooking and family commitments. Look at how close he still is with his sons.

The fact that this man isn’t in prison is a miracle in itself. Completely different ending to the real, Walter White.

Actually, George Marquardt, also from Oklahoma, was a chemist who made this guy look like a school boy. He went by the name of "Squeak" and he was a rotund, pipe smoking, wild haired, classic "Mad Scientist" looking character that was every bit as brilliant as he was eccentric. He was a genuine and extremely talented old school chemist who often referred to himself and his contemporaries as "Pot Boilers". He built molecules from 'scratch', rather than from immediate precursors: anything from meth to LSD and even fentanyl, which he famously manufactured in his lab in Goddard, Kansas back in the late 80's and beyond and which he distributed to Boston and NYC through mob affiliates... which got him busted. The guy being showcased here knows no actual chemistry, and his explanation of how he used a second addition of iodine as a secret way to make it perfect illustrates that fact. What was REALLY happening there, was him getting his chemical ratios wrong by using insufficient iodine in the reaction. This left unreacted ephedrine remaining in his end product, which acted like 'cut' - a diluent. One way to 'fix' that problem is to throw everything back in the reaction flask with fresh iodine and run it again. Unprofessional, but more or less a 'work around'. This tactic probably destroyed another 10 to 20 percent of his product due to thermal degradation and the usual by products that are present in most all chemical reactions being doubled by running the same process twice on the same material - but the end product that survived would at least be stronger, albeit at a cost. "Walter White" would have known these things if he was indeed worthy of being referred to as a "Chef". (LOL) But maybe someday they'll tell Squeak's story. The show 'Day One' interviewed him once in prison, but he never agreed to a movie deal after the way they edited the interview to make the story more 'juicy' or something. Spin. Squeak was finally released from Federal Prison a few years back, but I've made no attempt to reach out to him, so I'm not even sure he's still alive. If he is, he's in his seventies and the DEA is probably within visual range of him 24/7. That said, I'm fairly certain that if any of his old friends tried to contact him it would stir a hornet's nest of harmful speculation and jeopardize his freedom on supervised release. It's a shame though, because he was the victim of his own stunningly brilliant and creative mind: a mind that put him so distant from the rest of humanity that regular, "normal" people were the one thing he could seldom comprehend - or predict. Years ago, I was probably his closest friend.

I love the subtle camera shots that are the same as the show, like the back and fourth between cars, the train, etc

I wanna see their lawyer I bet he's not better than saul.

Can we get a video called “the real badger and skinny Pete”

Instead of being shunned by folks this guy is being appreciated and shown as if he is a hero and did something great!

Everyone in this video is smiling and happy to have had Walter in their town.

This feels like an expectations vs reality meme.

10/10 would recommend the guy. Great cook. His work with our community really tied the place together. All of us here are meth heads for life because of him. Truly a life changer

... "And that was your secret?" "Yes." Meth cooks everywhere: "Write that down, write that down!"

I don’t understand why they would glorify his meth cooking abilities at a rehabilitation centre lmao

Dude said "I'm a meth cook" not "I'm a FORMER meth cook" lmao

"he just wasnt the same person" He became Heisenberg

1:30 i love how they show a weed leaf next to a syringe like the two are alike in anyway💀

Walt would never cook in a place that contaminated

This is the Walter White that had to face the responsibility of his actions and live with them instead of dying in a blaze of glory.

I remember the first time I smoked meth. It was then I fully understood why people would throw their lives away for this drug. I personally am coming up on 11 months clean.

So many of the details line up so perfectly with BB that halfway through the video, I was actually expecting him to have a son with cerebral palsy...

Maybe he is walter white, but he is not heisenberg

Dad: what are you watching son? me: motivational video.

I want to hear this man’s stories so bad he has seemed to live a very interesting and eventful life

OMG MAKE A SERIES BOUT THIS

I love how all those dudes in rehab are like: "yooo Walter! When's the next batch coming my man!" And he's like "heheh it's comin' boys!"

The man, the meth, the legend

1:20 this cop's voice is almost exactly like Vince's, Bravo Vince!

"Sammy, we have to cook!" - Waltu White

He looks like he was his best customer

Wild thing is i actually had a chemistry teacher in 2015 named Mr White who pretty much just watched breaking bad with us 80% of the time just cause he loved the show.. Still think it was more than that lmao

I chucked at that punching bag scene

My daughters father was a meth cook. He only did two years in prison when he got busted. He came back out and was right back at it. That's when I met him. You would be surprised what police know and let happen just to make a ton of arrests

Stay out of my territory

This is the exact moment Walter White became Heisenberg.

The fact that the officer at 1:17 sounds exactly like Vince Gilligan makes it better

"Meth Bust" shows marijuana leaf a syringe and some pills

Now, if he had a partner named Jesse Pinkman... that would kick this story up a knotch.

it been 10 year i rember when this vid droped dam time fly

2:12 bro the guy in the back 😭

I was gonna skip brushing my teeth tonight, but after watching this video......

I'm pretty sure Vince Gilligan knew about his existence and based his story off of him.

Shocking to me that the real life version of this story has a happier ending

@1:30 Hazmat dudes in the beginning: "let's shake it until it blows up!"

I wanna see Tuco’s interview

"Do you have english captions?" This video: Yes, but actually no.

Love the show!!!! I'm on my third round of watching I don't know why

This is the only Vice video I like.

I love how when he walks on the hallway (3:23) he's like the school clown returning from his suspension for flipping off his teacher

02:12 He was just way too fast for that speed bag.

It was very instructive

Imagine having a name like Walter white I mean it’s honestly fitting that he became a cook

YEAH MR. WHITE, YEAH SCIENCE

Walter White: Made thousands a day and bought some cars. Heisenberg: *Made hundreds of thousands a day and bought a car WASH.*

When I clicked on this, I wasn’t expecting the guy to literally be named Walter White. Insane

6:34 he even has the same cough as Walter White

1:05 Meth started rising again in 2008.... Breaking Bad premiered in 2008. hmmmm

Imagine becoming an alchocolic and then getting glorified at rehab centre for your ability to drink 10 litres of beer per day

0:13 I died when he said My name is Walter White

2:23 just reminded me of the scene where Hank corrects Walter Jr after calling Heisenberg a meth cook and hank tells him Heisenberg is not a meth cook but a meth chef.

Everyone can be Walter White, Hesienberg is what we need. P.S :A joke tho

Judging by his teeth, he seems to have tried his product unlike Breaking Bad's Walter White

The singing in the end it was beautiful

10:57 you can tell she’s so proud of her grandpa

Did anyone notice the punching bag fall at 2:18?

I'm still trying to understand what makes people look at this guy as a hero

crazy how accurately this guy was able to recreate breaking bad in real life, props to this superfan

1:27 Ah yes. The famous meth leaf

Ok there's one fact that apparently no one pointed out, he was apprehended in 2008, the same year Breaking Bad started.

to think that he isnt in jail and just got a bond for just $10500, makes better call saul a really good attorney.

Wow, this atleast deserved a mention in the credits for the series like come-on now

Wow that's methed up

The main question to Walter : "Did you watch Breaking Bad?"

Poor guy, according to the dates given, he was no older than 57, when that video was made. I'm 70 years old, and look much younger than he does.

Not that punching thing when it fell off on 02:12

The real story: Saul Goodman is real.

Lady: “Did your lawyer know about your meth business?” Walter: Pauses (take a deep breath).....then continues to tell a different story...😂😂classic

0:36 those teeth were the exact ones my school used to show how bad soda is.

02:10 wtf the mini boxing thing just fell

Him sitting crossed legged on the couch while his son is explaining why they grew apart made me sad a bit

I am happy Walter and his family are good and healthy after such a destructive drug and life style. But I can’t help but wonder about all the families and communities that have been devastated but the drugs that Walter and his friend littered the world with. I remember seeing a documentary about how devastating meth was in a lot of the little towns. That even the Seniors where on it.

The foundry is a great place, that's where I went to rehab.

The crazy thing is is that the pharmaceutical industry is a much bigger drug dealer than he ever was or could be and they get to operate legally and he worked with finesse

"Two meth busts" *shows marijuana leaf* only in Oklahoma

Waiting for the real life Saul ,Mike ,Jesse ,Gus ,Tuco , Huell. Etc

2:16 this sounds like a line straight from Ted Lasso

Who's here in 2024

3:25 the way hes walkin. He gettin hyped LMFAO

I can imagine how often people walk up to him to ask him to say "Say my name." or "I am the one who knocks!", lol.

Were Gilligan and company aware of this guy or is the name just a coincidence? "Walter White" has such resonance throughout Breaking Bad's narrative, it borders on miraculous

bros lawyer is literally saul goodman he didnt go to jail

Is it possible to not imagine Saul when he talks about his lawyer?

I was in the military with a guy who ended up running one of the largest meth labs in his state. He and his associates got caught and he served 20 years in prison. No way I'd have the guts to do that so kudos to him. Not worth the risk.
