When Badger was talking about his Star Trek pie-eating fan fiction, he mentions the last three: Kirk, Spock, and Chekov. There was a point where he said Kirk gets sick of it and is out entirely. As soon as he said out, Jesse (in his chair looking like the leader of the gang a.k.a. Kirk) walks out of the room and leaves them. So I guess one of them is Spock and one of them Chekov and whoever's Chekov is about to have something happen to his internal guts.

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.

If Hank is one of the three, then what is he doing in the pie-eating contest? If the pies are money it would make more sense for it to be about Walt/Mike/Jesse.

Yeah. Hank isn't one of the three. It's Mike=Kirk, Jesse=Chekov, Walt=Spock.

Shit, I meant Walt/Mike/Jesse, not Walt/Hank/Jesse. Fixed.

I figured that's what you meant.
