Up until the Social Security Administration changed to a randomization system on June 25th 2011 the 1st 3 numbers of your social security number indicated the territory where the number was applied for but not necessarily the place of birth.

2025-03-18 01:46:21 +0000 UTCYour middle point doesn't hold, Chris. Chuck, in that heated conversation with Howard, said that he (Chuck) built up that firm single-handedly, which implies that Hamlin Sr. wasn't a towering intellect. To your final point, yeah, I guess, I mean, it's the best I can come up with too. But as you said, that doesn't seem like Chuck. Besides, if he wanted to build something special, why Albuquerque, as opposed to NYC or LA? He's from Cicero, so why not Chicago? The easy answer to that is that there'd be less competition in Albuquerque, but that answer doesn't jibe with youthful rebellion wanting to make his special mark on the world. I remain stumped, but I'll go with that answer only because I DON'T want to go with the show runners made a mistake.

2025-03-09 23:17:03 +0000 UTCPerhaps in his youth he was less pragmatic and wanted to build something himself? Maybe Hamlin Sr. was a man of towering intellect and Chuck saw someone he could identify with? But it’s a very good point you made… I had pondered that myself but chalked it up to “build something for himself” but that does seem a bit unlike the Chuck we know. So I think it was his youthful rebellion and wanting to create something in his own “perfect” image.

2025-03-09 23:16:33 +0000 UTCMore than just "stick around", TBR, but "go to." He was from Cicero. He purposely chose to start his career in a fledgling firm in Albuquerque. My best guess is, and I hope I'm wrong, is that the show runners simply missed the discrepancy, made a mistake. It happens. But I hope that's not it.

2025-03-09 18:59:13 +0000 UTCOoh this is an interesting take! I wonder if there was some other external thing that had him stick around there but seems unlike him since he was so career driven! -Sam

2025-03-09 18:52:02 +0000 UTCOh we missed that! -Sam

2025-03-09 18:22:39 +0000 UTCRight?! What the hell! -Sam

2025-03-09 03:55:50 +0000 UTCSomething that always bugged me about this episode, re information, not the episode itself, which I loved. Okay, so, in an earlier episode, Chuck tells Howard that when he (Chuck) first went to work for Howard's father, it was a fledgling, little 2-office firm. In this episode, we learn of Chuck's absolutely stellar student records and his fancy clerkship. That's exactly the kind of young lawyer that all the giant, rich firms in New York, LA, Chicago, Atlanta, etc. would bend over backwards to recruit. So why did Chuck, a pragmatist always, choose a teeny unimpressive firm in Albuquerque to being his career? (And don't say "to build it himself" because that would've been a big and unnecessary risk, and Chuck was way too pragmatic for that.) So, why? Any guesses? I have none.
Jeff
2025-03-09 03:36:51 +0000 UTCYep. Along with some additional online research.

2025-03-08 22:36:18 +0000 UTCI've seen this episode many times before, and I just now realized that the song playing during Chuck's funeral service was the same song that Chuck plays on the piano in Season 2.

2025-03-08 21:07:36 +0000 UTCThe end of this ep is absolutely vicious. Jimmy's smile at the fish...so disgusting.

2025-03-08 18:55:42 +0000 UTCI think Mike's primary motive was to keep up appearances by doing honest straight work so the money doesn't seem suspicious. I also think he's also one of those people that couldn't really retire if he had all the money he needed. It doesn't take much to get him to work for his DIL's local support group. And when he does he has a hard time letting go and delegating. It probably just rubbed him the wrong way that there really was lots of security work to be done, and he was technically the person hired to do it.

2025-03-08 07:52:57 +0000 UTCThe 'Security Consultant' scene with Mike is one of the best. Every time that pops up on my youtube recommendations I have to watch it again.
