I think people on this forum sometimes need to seriously get a grip. Karl is a grown man who even before his success was doing very well for himself. He is not being bullied, anyone can see from interviews and listening that Karl and Ricky are genuine best friends. Look at the efforts Ricky has went to in order to get Karl book deals, record breaking podcasts and his own hit TV show. Yes Ricky has made money from these but I don't think it mattered to him, as he said on XFM we need to get Karl on TV. You may dislike the insults and such and that is your opinion but I think it is demonstrably wrong to claim Karl is just being bullied by a nasty person. I have a friend at work who tells some stupid stories and when I'm just not in the mood i'll often say "aw just shut up will ya" or worse. This doesn't mean we're not friends just that on that day its annoying. I think Ricky helps to bring out the best in Karl and as trio they work best.

Seeing why Ricky is annoyed now. This thread went from good to bad in less than a page.

I love a drunk Ricky! I haven't heard this in a long time! (listening now)

I love series 1 for how unplanned and natural it is, just the three of them trying to figure out what they're even doing, but series 2 is definitely my favourite. Just them, every week, for over a year, Ricky and Steve moving from trying to educate Karl to just being bewildered by him as he starts to take over with all of his features and competitions.

Is this episode the one where Ricky every so often just interrupts conversations with ridiculous 'would you rather' questions? I fucking love that one. 'How big are the wheels?' Fucking incredible.
