Outrageously funny. Where does all of that pretend hubris and arrogance come from, Mark? :) You have to be bouncing off the walls as you write these episodes. I know I would be.

It is all part of me. 😂 I just pretend I'm Carl, and it flows out. I'm not sure what that says about me, but I try not to think too hard about it.

Thanks, K.C.

Love the concept, but question the thought process. Never once was an accountant mentioned to help keep track of all that money. LOL. Fun read

Being a billionaire, Carl's money constantly multiplies without any effort, so he never thinks about it. He is mainly in it for the fame.

Thanks, Zoe.

Carl says, "And the one with the most money wins." How will he know he has the most without an accountant? Just trying to use his logic. I personally don't count my money. There isn't enough to bother with counting. (Just messing with you here, okay?)

Carl says a lot of weird stuff and pays people to think for him. 😂

Sheer madness. Mr Roboto blends right into our whirled. Say! Let me know when his/its/their focus on digital clothing runs its course. I have a new category I would like to propose for this genius.

Carl is always up for stealing someone else's idea. I think they call that "trending" now. 🤣

Sounds about as realistic as a replicator or transporter. Beam me up!

Please do not fact check the lyrics as they bubbled from my often faulty memory.
