It only took two days of being back at work after a long holiday break for Kelly Ripa to admit that she thinks she can make crystal meth.

"Do you remember, Gelman, when I was like, 'I think I can make meth!' because I've seen Breaking Bad?" the TV star told longtime Live producer Michael Gelman on Tuesday's episode of the show, after her real-life husband and on-air cohost, Mark Consuelos, rebuked her idea of buying an expensive home in New Mexico — where actor Bryan Cranston's beloved Breaking Bad drama series was set.

"I'm like a chef. I like to watch cooking shows — baking shows, really, I'm more of a baker, which is science, which, apparently so is making crystal meth," the 54-year-old continued. "So, I became convinced that I, too, could make crystal meth."

Sensing the hilarity that might ensue from his wife's admission, Consuelos stepped in to assist her explanation.

"You also think you can figure-skate when you watch the Olympics," Consuelos said, to which Ripa responded by elaborating on her Winter Olympics-watching routine.

"I have a-hole syndrome. I do. I have it. If I see anything on TV, I'm then like, 'I can totally do that,' and every Winter Olympics, I move all the furniture in the living room. I do," she said. "I move the furniture, I put on my socks, and I'm like, 'I'm going to do living room Olympics,' check out my triple salchow. Guess what? I can land it! Sorry, don't hate the player, hate the game."

Though it hasn't aired since 2013, Breaking Bad is clearly still a pop culture fixture. Cranston previously won six Emmys for his work on the show, including for his lead performance as Walter White, a chemistry teacher with terminal cancer who resorts to making meth with a former student to make money for his family.
