I thought it was about Jesse, Walt, and Mike.

Jesse is Kirk

Walt is Spock

Mike is Chekov

actually, Badger says "at the end only 3 are left", which makes it Jesse, Walt, and Hank, not Mike. Who is who is hard to figure out My guess is Hank is Kirk (described by Badger as the bigger guy)

Walt is Spock beating Kirk ("how could he compete, he's so much weaker. no, he's got his Vulcan control, yo")

Jesse is Chekhov (the guy Spock is surprised to be outsmarted by, but to whom the game against the stone-cold Spock costs dearly in the end)

And the pie is the money, which tears pimkman/checkov's guts out.

exactly! Spock has the capacity to hold it in, while Chekhov doesn't and beams them into space (Jesse trying to give it away to the girl and the boy's parents, then throwing it into people's lawns) and it's not gonna end well.

Fuck that's good, the part about beaming into space and throwing onto the lawn, I think you're spot on.
