Where the last episodes I was confused, now I'm just mad. Every time Jimmy plays a chess move on Chuck, Chuck slaps back so hard and Jimmy crawls back :(. Aaaah imagine this guy being your brother!! 

I do wonder about the legal value of the recording, since you got the evidence in a way that makes it seem like you just confess to make the other person feel better in that moment and not because you actually did something wrong.

Yeah Season 2 Chuck can be very hard to watch, he's just so petty and mean and vindictive. But a lot of people have compared him to Skyler from Breaking Bad and I kind of agree. Both Skyler and Chuck are foils to our protagonists, the ones trying to keep them from doing their cool crime. Watching Walt or Jimmy do their thing is cool and satisfying and impressive and we want to watch more of that. Plus we see it from their POV mostly, so we have more of an insight into their motivations and feelings than we do Skyler or Chuck, so we forgive Walt and Jimmy for their misdeeds (to a degree) and are annoyed when someone wants to stand in their way. But for the most part, Chuck and Skyler are completely in the right. They have the better moral backbone, have more of a respect for the rule of law and are often harsh but pretty accurate judges of character of our antihero protagonists. The difference is in degree. Especially towards the end, Walt was much more evil and immoral than Jimmy and Chuck is much more mean and hypocritical and bitter than Skyler ever was. Still, I can't help but feel some sympathy towards Chuck. Not towards his actions but towards his feelings. I get that feeling of being jealous and a bit resentful towards people who are more naturally charismatic and extraverted and charming and just seem to be able to get away with stuff and not need to work as hard for their successes as you do. And wanting to just show them up for once, make people see what you see. And like I said, Chuck is mostly completely right about Jimmy, how he goes about things and why he does them. We saw again Jimmy using an "ends justifying means" philosophy when defending his sabotage of the address when he tells Kim that now everything is right with the world because Mesa Verde now is with the lawyer that deserves them. Just like Chuck said. The one thing Chuck is ignorant of (and after Kim's speech, you'd have to say willfully so), is his own role in the shaping of Jimmy's character, his low self-esteem, his feeling of needing to prove himself on the one hand and feeling like he can't change who he is anyway, so might as well go back to Slippin' Jimmy on the other hand. In that way, Chuck actually treats Jimmy a bit like Walt treated Jesse. He's just such a wonderfully complex character, I think he's one of the best things about this show.

The reference Jimmy makes to Carnac the Magnificent in Ep. 9 is actually a thing. Not sure how familiar you are with Johnny Carson and the Tonight Show, but Carnac was an extremely popular recurring sketch Carson would do on the show. It's classic comedy at its finest. Here's a compilation of some favorites for context -- https://youtu.be/DNy0TElah18?si=1z0crGlnrvjZDceJ
