- We're bad friends.
- One day I was working the back door.
This is after the commercial.
I was still working at the store, but I was gloating.
- You were bragging a little bit.
- A lot.
- Got 350 grand.
- Yeah, I had gotten a car, you know, all kinds of stuff.
- Now you're buying cigarettes that are pre-rolled.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And they came up to me and they go,
we work for "The Tonight Show."
We want you to audition for "The Tonight Show."
- Just from the commercial?
- No, they were just seeing me around town.
- Right. - Maybe my great deeds was, right?
- Your good deeds was paying off.
- I thought it was paying off.
And then, so I'm working on that,
and then Abby called me and goes,
we auditioned for, it was called "Mad TV."
The show I was on for eight fucking years.
- I remember now.
- You fucking memorized that?
- Yeah. - What's it called?
- "Mad TV."
- What is it called?
- Right.
So then I got mad after that.
- Wow.
- And then, so it all kind of happened.
- So commercial, "Tonight Show Mad."
- Yeah, yeah, you know.
- You had more money in your pocket
than you've ever had in your entire life.
- Yeah, I remember moving out of the place.
I was in and got a new place.
- The first thing you bought?
- It was a car.
- The second thing you bought?
- Well then, I told you about the GTI thing that happened.
- You got a GTI?
- So what happened was, this is how dumb I am.
This is how dumb I am.
So you know who Aaron Cater is?
- Of course, comic, yeah.
- Yeah, so I go, "I got this money,
but I want to get a car."
He goes, "Cash."
- He's telling you to buy a car all cash.
- Yeah. - Right.
- Right.
- I go, "How much?"
If a car is like $23,000, right?
If you have $20,000 in cash, right,
you could just get it.
- Correct.
- Right, so I go, "All right, let's do it."
So I go to the bank, I get cash.
- You got $20,000 out.
- Yeah.
So I go, and I get this GTI.
This is going to drive you crazy, this car.
- Yeah, I feel it already.
- Yeah, then like two or three weeks later,
I lived in Silver Lake on Sanborn and Sunset.
- Yeah, I know what it is.
- Right, right.
- Oh, yeah.
- And it just wasn't there anymore.
- The car?
- Yeah.
- One day disappeared.
- It just was not there anymore.
- And what do you think happened to it?
- I don't know.
- Let's take a guess.
- It got impounded?
- It got stolen, probably, right?
- I don't know what happened,
but I thought that once a car is gone,
you just got to go get another one.
So I went back to Aaron.
I go, I got to get another one.
- It's not a piece of gum.
It's like, well, this one's done.
I ought to just grab a new one.
- Years later, I found out you can call,
you know what I mean?
- The cops?
- Yeah, I didn't do any of that.
- Insurance?
- It was gone.
- So you went and bought another car.
- Yes.
- What was the second one?
- The GTI?
- You bought the same car.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- So you just got 20 grand out, 20 grand again.
- Yeah, yeah.
- And no one questioned you,
because they thought maybe Bobby's on a roll.
- I didn't know, yeah.
- Damn, Bobby, that's so dumb.
- I know.
- So you pissed away that 350K fast?
- Oh, it was gone.
- Fast?
- Yeah.
- Is that the fastest?
- I would go to Vegas.
I don't know why I'm getting so sentimental.
- I like it.
- Yeah, you do?
- Well, it's Valentine's Day.
It's sweet.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Tell me more.
- I'll tell you more.
- I don't know.
- So it got to the point where I had to go to Ari Shafir,
because then Ari Shafir, right?
- The Jewish guy?
The tall Jewish guy?
- Yeah, so Ari Shafir started getting commercials,
and I was running out of money.
- Yeah.
- So I went to Ari, I had no money, again,
because I burned through everything, right?
- You blew 350.
- Yeah, and I went up to, you know, and this is still,
I'm on Matt TV, but they didn't pay you a lot.
- Can I take a guess?
- What?
- It was an episodic rate, right?
You were getting paid per episode?
- No, I still had a deal, but it was like the lowest you could get.
It was like something like $4,500 a week.
- Oh, it was a weekly thing.
Oh, right, right, right.
They don't pay, that's right.
They don't pay you episodes over there, right.
- Yeah, yeah.
- So it was just like, and then with taxes and giving-
- Managers and agents, it really wasn't much.
- Yeah.
- Right?
So I remember going up to Ari and go, give me 30 grand.
- Give me 30 grand.
- Yeah, yeah, or something like that.
- Did he?
- Yeah.
- He gave you 30K?
- Yeah, because I was desperate.
- But didn't say I want it back.
- Yeah, he did.
- No, but it wasn't-
- But I didn't pay him for years.
- He gave you 30K?
- And then every week, I would have to avoid him, almost.
Right?
So when he beat the shit out of me-
- Oh yeah, what a night.
- Right?
People think it's because of the Natasha and all that kind of stuff, right?
- It's the 30 grand.
- Deep down inside, I think.
Because I remember once he beat the shit out of me the first time,
- Yeah.
- I went to the bank because I had the money then,
and I gave him the money back.
- So it was about the money.
- Yeah.
- Well, it's a conglomerate-
- But then he beat me up two more times, so I don't think so.
- But that's just a racial thing.
- Maybe the racial.
Yeah, maybe the racism.
- That's because he's racist.
- Yeah, yeah.
- That's wild to think that it was about the money though.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I never knew that detail.
I always thought it was about Tasha.
- I have so many weird little things like that, but...
