Namaste - S5-E4

Trivia: The scene in which Saul tricks a witness on the stand into identifying a defendant that he had swapped out with a doppelganger may be based on a real-life incident from 1994, in which a lawyer swapped out his client with a lookalike, leading to the arresting officer for the case to misidentify the defendant. The judge presiding over the case then ordered a not guilty verdict and held the defense lawyer in contempt for deception. He ended up only having to pay a $400 fine as punishment.

Hit and Run - S6-E4

Trivia: When Kim is sitting down to eat with Clifford Main, she mentions the place gives Java Joe's a run for its money. Java Joe's is actually the name of the real-life coffee shop whose building exterior was used as Tuco's headquarters in Breaking Bad.

Mabel - S3-E1

Trivia: As Jimmy is showing a lady client out the door, she mentions a "Lily of the Valley" flower. That flower was part of a huge plot point in Breaking Bad - the Season 4 finale closed with a shot of it growing in Walter White's garden, showing that he had poisoned a child.

Suggested correction: I'm not sure this qualifies as trivia. Throughout the entire series, there are several characters that had very prominent roles in Breaking Bad. Tuco is, without question, extremely recognizable the moment we see him on screen.

Slip - S3-E8

Factual error: The scene where Jimmy is doing community service, they are under the Juan Tabo Bridge that crosses the Tijeras Arroyo. This bridge was not built until 2006. The episode is set in 2003.

Wine and Roses - S6-E1

Question: When the house is being cleared out, there's a scene in the closet and as the camera is panning around, there's a ball cap sitting on a box with a logo I can't recognize or make out. Does anyone know what the logo is and if it came from an earlier episode or a "Breaking Bad" one?

Answer: It might be the Panavision cap he wore when directing his terrible commercials.
