He knows he is funny and made money out of him, kind of disgusting. All I'm saying is if Karl was my supposed "best friend" I would definitely let him have more of the money for it, especially when I didn't do fuck all, just sent him places.

    Karl rightfully prioritises grouting over supervising the Bacon show on his day off. Unfazed by 8 missed calls and the host's interruption of his grouting he gets his gripe in, about his delayed pay, succinctly and without malice. An example to us all.

      I don't understand that. Ricky isn't working 24/7. I mean he must have spare time in which he could do things around the house?!. I work 12 hour days and it's around 14 hours from leaving my house until i get back home and i do my own tiling etc Obviously he gets paid far more than i do but i'm just talking in terms of spare time, and if you're tiling or decorating etc in your spare time then it doesn't matter if you get 10 grand a day, you'll still be saving money.

    Ricky's idea of fools gold where he gives Carl a million to double in a year actually sounded hilarious to me. He would mess it up so badly 😄
