Sketch comedy fans got a treat this week via comic Bobby Lee’s TigerBelly podcast, where he brought together his fellow MadTV alums Debra Wilson, Aries Spears, and Mo Collins.
The reunion caught the foursome and co-host Khalyla Kuhn casually shooting the sh*t for much of the show, with Wilson at one point stressing that she’s “happier than a motherf**ker in a mansion.”
“I want to be the motherf**ker with the mansion,” Spears retorts, admitting that certain material achievements are important to him, leading him to compare himself to others, like Kevin Hart. Wilson then attempts to convince the Jerry Maguire actor to stop comparing himself to others as Kuhn questions if Spears would be truly happy if he magically possessed these material desires.
“I would be happy if I got that, plus the things that really matter,” Spears replied, further explaining, “I’m not a good father to my kids. I want to tighten up my relationships with my sons.”
“Do that, and maybe the mansion will follow,” Collins’ interjected, causing Lee to burst out in laughter.
Spears then further confessed, “And as much as I love the woman I want to marry for the third time, I cheat. I f**k other women.” He then added that he still desires that “exterior sh*t” that he’s always dreamed of, and also wants to be a better man. When asked by Collins which one is in his control, Spears offers, “why not both?”

Wilson then jumps in to address the Bobby to her Whitney, telling Spears that he is “bankrupt” for pining over material things while his family life is in disarray.
“You’re never gonna be rich out there, you know why? Because you’re bankrupt. You’re bankrupt, Aries,” Wilson told the stand-up. “Aries, you’re bankrupt on the inside. But my thing is this: you don’t have to be. I know you. You’re a good man. If you want to be a good father, continue to be a good man. I know you, Aries, so don’t f**k with me.”
“Don’t go for the outside sh*t, it won’t make you happy,” she went on, “You can be a good father right now. You can be a good man to your wife right now.”
