Session 1:

“Why ‘Ken vs. Walt’ isn’t a Stupid Idea”

The scene: This is how things went when Walt first pitched the idea of Ken vs. Walt… the column didn’t exist yet.

Walt:So you know how we always have these debates that end up being kind of entertaining?

Ken:Yea.

Walt:I wanna do a column on PEV. Ken vs. Walt.

Ken:That sounds dumb.

Walt:That… sounds about right.

Ken:Ha – I don’t know dude. I don’t think we’re really that entertaining. 

Walt:Why?!  Alex (Walt’s brother-in-law) enjoyed a half hour of us bickering about steroids!

(Alex gets REALLY excited)

Ken:Yeaaaa, but no one really cares about us.

Walt:That’s true… but they may care about making fun of how stupid we are.

Ken:Nah, I don’t think so. Why would anyone read that?

Walt:Well, we wouldn’t just bicker. We would be kinda educational too, I think. We’ll just site our sources, ya know. And I’m sure we won’t need to try and be funny – I imagine what we think is intelligent debate is to others more like watching an argument over the last pop tart.

Ken:That’s true.

Walt:So there it is. We’re doing it.

Ken:Did we just write our first one?

Walt:Holy shit. I think we did.

Ken:There was zero educational value to this.

Walt:Yes.

Ken:Yes.

Walt:Maybe next time.

Ken:No.

Walt:Yes.
