One of Carl's longtime associates is '''[[Juan Gonzalez]]'''. Carl and Juan have appeared together in numerous contexts, primarily centered around quasi-legal mobile food service ventures, such as their ill-fated food truck business [[Taco Jabronis]].

One of Carl's longtime associates is '''[[Juan Gonzalez]]'''. Carl and Juan have appeared together in numerous contexts, primarily centered around quasi-legal mobile food service ventures, such as their ill-fated food truck business [[Taco Jabronis]]. Gonzalez also works for [[Mercado La Colonia]], a small Mexican grocery store in Melrose Park, Illinois. Carl often appears in and around the store trying obtain store credit or run small time scams on the customers, much to the chagrin of the store's owner/manager '''[[Rakesh Subramanian]]'''.

Juan is among the relatively small number of people whom Carl appears to regard as a genuine friend rather than a potential source of transportation, alcohol, money, or temporary housing.

=== Zutroy Zagreb ===

'''[[Zutroy Zagreb]]''' is a Hungarian American booking agent and entertainment-industry connection who has arranged work involving Carl, usually with poor outcomes. Zagreb's humorless, transactional personality frequently clashes with Carl's improvisational approach to contracts and scheduling. Zagreb once described Carl as "a fucking clown".

Carl is also a functional alcoholic. His drinks of choice include low-end fortified wine, malt liquor, and cheap vodka. He shows little regard for laws involving public intoxication, open containers, and public consumption. He has also been arrested several times for buying alcohol for minors.

Carl is also a functional alcoholic. His drinks of choice include low-end fortified wine, malt liquor, and cheap vodka. He shows little regard for laws involving public intoxication, open containers, and public consumption. The floor of his van is usually littered with empty alcohol containers, something which he attempts to justify to police by claiming that since his van is his home, he's doing nothing wrong. He has also been arrested several times for buying alcohol for minors and has a number of DUIs across multiple states.

He does not consider his relationship with alcohol to be an addiction. When asked about it, Carl simply says “I love drinking, I don’t need it.”

Carl will generally consume any substance that comes his way, with a strong preference for prescription medications (usually pilfered from ~~whosever~~ medicine cabinet he has access to) and cheap highs such as inhalants. He tends to not buy or sell street drugs (“too much heat”) but always seems to know where to get them.
