MELISSA BLOCK, HOST:
And now some pizza to go with all that craft beer.
FRAN PADILLA: We've had pizzas on our roof. We've had pizzas on our driveway; pizzas until we're sick of looking at pizzas.
BLOCK: Fran Padilla is someone who does not have to call out for delivery because her New Mexico house is famous for a fictional occupant.
(SOUNDBITE OF "BREAKING BAD" THEME SONG)
PADILLA: I own the house that was used as Walter White's house.
AUDIE CORNISH, HOST:
Walter White, the chemistry teacher-turned-meth dealer from the AMC series "Breaking Bad."
BLOCK: Even though the show is over, fans can't get enough of it - or of Padilla's house. They drive by, they take selfies and...
PADILLA: We have people that want to come by and re-create the pizza scene.
(SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "BREAKING BAD")
BRYAN CRANSTON: (As Walter White) Brought pizza (laughter).
ANNA GUNN: (As Skyler White) Well, I'm making dinner.
BLOCK: The pizza scene, in which antihero Walter White tries to smooth over his rocky marriage with a peace offering.
CORNISH: Or should we say a pizza offering, which ends up, where else...
(SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "BREAKING BAD")
CRANSTON: (As Walter White) (Yelling).
CORNISH: On the roof.
BLOCK: That scene has so far inspired about a dozen pizza-wielding copycats.
CORNISH: So Fran Padilla turned to the "Breaking Bad" producers for help.
(SOUNDBITE OF PODCAST, "BETTER CALL SAUL INSIDER")
KELLEY DIXON: Hey, everybody. We're back for the "Better Call Saul Insider" podcast.
CORNISH: On a fan podcast this week, show creator Vince Gilligan and actor Jonathan Banks dressed down the pizza throwers.
(SOUNDBITE OF PODCAST, "BETTER CALL SAUL INSIDER")
VINCE GILLIGAN: There is nothing original or funny or cool about throwing a pizza on this lady's roof.
JONATHAN BANKS: And if I catch you doing it, I will hunt you down.
BLOCK: And if that doesn't scare them away, well, a TV show got Padilla into this mess, maybe a TV show can get her out.
PADILLA: I'll sit outside with a shotgun in a rocking chair. You know, like Granny from "Beverly Hillbillies." Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
