Our first guest is one of the busiest guys in Hollywood,
he's also one of the coolest.
Please welcome my friend Mark Wahlberg.
It's so weird not being there.
I'm giving a hug and a kiss.
I'm hugging you, though.
I know, I'm sad that you're not here, too.
I'm wearing your shirt.
I like your sweatshirt a lot, by the way.
Yeah this is your new clothing line.
I like it a whole lot, thank you so much.
It's soft, super soft.
The last time I saw you, you were shirtless in an apron,
and everyone enjoyed it.
Yep, it was quite something to see you shirtless in an apron.
I know we didn't discuss that part of it,
but I thought, you know, what I was
going to try to invite myself over to Melissa's house,
I'd better show her what I can do.
Yeah.
We all enjoyed it.
Hey, you and Andy, and we're going
to talk about your documentary, which I loved.
I watched-- are there just three of them?
I watched three last night.
There's six episodes in the first season.
OK, well I watched three last night,
and in it you talk about F45, which
I'm really looking forward to.
You and Andy worked out together at F45.
How do you think he did?
And be honest.
To be honest, did well for Andy, but he was very sick after.
There was lots of complaining.
He complained like my grandma used to complain.
Quite a bit of complaining.
Yeah, he likes to-- yeah.
But he, you know what, he really did give his best effort.
I knew he realized that he was in over his head
pretty early on, but he continued to keep going.
I think he vomited after, but you know what?
He also talked about coming back,
and I think, hopefully, when the studios are reopened
I'm going to hold them to that.
And I want to get him and you down to the studio.
We'll work out again.
Yeah, I think the three of us should do it together,
because that way--
Andy, you're on mic, what?
You're talking to the control room and your mic.
I'm sorry.
Do you want to say something?
Just that Mark and I like to slap each other's butts
every time we see each other.
That is true.
Somebody asked me earlier, oh, Andy
was slapping your butt at the Super Bowl,
you slapped his butt at F45, it's just a guy thing.
It's a buddy thing.
You kind of keep each other going, and you know.
Yeah.
That's what guys do.
I was not checking his tush, I was checking his form there.
I see.
Andy, you're wearing glasses while you're lifting weights?
You're like, you have readers on while you're lifting.
Speaking of butts, you accidentally
showed yours on Instagram, which, that's the way
to get more followers Mark.
That's what you do.
Oh, I was trying to show my cupping.
My pepperoni pizza cupping marks, there on my back.
I had a back problem.
And I was also trying to show my Municipal Underwear,
I have to send you some of those as well.
Yes please.
Yeah, because you have my underwear,
now I need your underwear.
Absolutely.
Hey, you were filming in the Dominican Republic
and in the jungle, what was that like?
Did you run into critters in the jungle?
There were lots of critters, lots
of animals, all those things.
But I think the thing that I ran into that was most scary
was a porta-potty that had been out there for quite some time.
But I did discover, from a camping store,
and you could buy your own little portable toilet also
has an enclosure, which is a tent, which I thought was
the greatest invention ever.
I didn't get it, unfortunately, until like three weeks--
until the movie was over, but I still have that,
and I will be traveling with it everywhere I go now.
Wow.
It seems like you could afford something a little nicer
than that, and you're the businessman.
Can't you just invent something nicer than that, Mark?
I thought, somebody already had the patent on that.
So I figured, you know, I could either partner up with them,
we could add some porcelain to the chair.
But it's nice, though, it's plastic, but it's durable.
It holds my weight, but no, it was definitely
one of the better things that I have had when I was down there.
Yeah.
As far as, like, a little piece of home and comfort.
Yeah, not really a piece of your home, but someone's home.
So Mark, we talk about how early you get up to work out,
and it used to be 4:00 AM.
Somehow, now, you've moved it to 2:30 AM.
What is going on?
You know what?
I'm just getting busier and busier, and less and less
time in the day to get everything done.
No, I started when I was in Europe, I was overseas,
then I would come home to visit.
And then by the time the family went to bed,
I'd be up for the rest of the night,
so I'd usually go to bed about 5:00
and wake up at, like, 12:00.
And then I'd work out and do all my stuff.
But I'm looking forward to, when I finish this movie that I'm
shooting in Los Angeles, I'm going
to start getting back to a normal schedule.
I'll probably wake up at like 6:00 AM like normal people,
and sleep in, and do all that fun stuff.
All right, well, sleeping in is not
6:00 AM Mark, but let's show the video of you doing pull-ups.
And this is, just so you all know,
this is cut down from many more, but we just kind of came
in later.
As my producer Matt said, it was monotonous.
It was like, there were too many of them.
So we just showed some of them.
Look at you, about to be 50 years old, doing that.
It goes by so fast, but some days I wake up
and I feel like I'm 80, and then other days feel like I'm 15.
I think my work ethic and my drive
continues to inspire me to get up and try
to be a better person every day, and be
a good example to my kids with my work ethic,
but then every once in a while the body will just
shut you down and remind you that you're not a kid anymore.
Yeah.
But I'm looking forward to 50.
I think it's a good reason to have a big, big party.
Yeah, all right.
You let me know when, I'll be there.
Tell me about this new doggie you got.
First of all, I'm glad you got another one, because hopefully
it's helping your other one be better behaved.
Is it helping?
No, champ actually took a big chunk out of my finger,
both sides of my finger just the other day.
I just started putting him while he was sleeping on the couch,
I wanted to put him into his bed.
And as soon as I went to pick him, up he attacked me.
But little JoJo, little JoJo, yes.
They are definitely best buddies.
They're getting along great.
JoJo, his new thing is to just get out of the house
and make everybody chase him as he's
running around moving vehicles.
So that's the only thing that JoJo does to make us nervous.
Other than that, he's very well behaved and very sweet.
Well that is an adorable dog, both of them are adorable.
That's Mark Wahlberg, and his new show Wall Street.
When you watch it, you feel like such a slacker.
I mean, anyone watching this is going to be motivated
to do more with their lives.
Tell everybody, it's really a documentary
about all the things that you're working on, right Mark?
Yeah, I think we had done Wahlburgers,
it was a great opportunity for us to kind of really
promote the brand, but it also a kind of family comedy that
was unscripted, and this is a much more serious look
at what I do in my primary business,
which is acting and producing, and then also with the sports
nutrition, with F45, with Wahlburgers, with Municipal,
which we launched in the middle of a pandemic,
and also my car dealerships and all the other business
interests that I have.
Right.
But it's also, hopefully, inspiring other entrepreneurs,
because I don't want anybody who's had an idea
or had a passion and just doesn't decide to pursue
that for whatever reason.
I want to encourage as many people as possible
to kind of go out there, pursue their dreams,
and make them a reality through hard work.
Yeah, I mean, it's amazing because anyone who's
followed you since you started as Marky Mark, a singer,
and then you move into acting, and now you're
this amazing businessman and entrepreneur.
It's really impressive.
And you can see why you're so successful,
because your work ethic is like nobody else's that I've seen.
And you started the show right as COVID hit,
which was hard on a lot of your businesses.
And I think it's interesting to show
how that's affected businesses.
Yeah, I mean, obviously, everybody's
been affected by COVID in many, many different ways.
We were just kind of trying to survive it.
Most things that we worried about
was our franchisees, our partners, our employees,
people who were going to be out of work and out of business.
People were losing their locations and things
of that nature, it was just--
we were just kind of telling the truth
about what we were dealing with and what
was going on at the time.
People are always saying, what's the show going to be about?
I would say, well, the state of the business
will dictate what the storylines are.
And of course, you know, with all the closures
and everything, it was a difficult time.
But you know, we're kind of hunkering down, trying
to make sure that we can help our employees,
and renegotiate the leases for the franchisees,
and things of that nature.
So we continue on, we continued to bet on ourselves,
and hopefully we'll be able to survive it, but unfortunately,
a lot of people didn't.
So we're trying to do everything we
can to help the people that we've worked with.
Yes, well you always do that.
You always help other people.
Your kids started their own business.
I heard they did a lemonade stand, which did pretty well.
That was a huge success.
I mean, all we had to do was have Magic Johnson.
He drove by one day, and he bought the whole stand out.
So they've been very successful.
They don't know--
The valuable lessons that you always learn
are the failures, right?
I mean, I go into these businesses,
and I've never been in the restaurant business,
and I've had to learn the hard way
through a lot of trial and error and a lot of mistakes.
But my kids started a card-collecting business,
which is a great pastime that we've enjoyed together
with my dad, and now I'm passing that on to my kids,
with the card boards.
And Brendan and Gracy started a hobby horse business,
which took off.
And then she basically gave up the hobby horse business
and then started a belt making business.
And, you know, it's just nice to see
that they're willing to work hard, and they have interests,
and I want to help them pursue those things.
But they've got to learn from the mistakes, the failures.
It's the losses, I think, make you stronger,
and hopefully will make you more resilient
and help you be successful in the future.
Yeah, I agree with that.
I think it's the losses, it's the falling down
that builds character.
And then you get back up again.
Your oldest daughter was not such a good driver.
I'm wondering if she ever got her driver's license.
She hasn't gotten her license yet,
but she's doing fantastic so I can't wait
to give her first car soon.
She's focusing more on her studies now, but she, yeah.
She finally realized that it's not a game getting
behind the wheel.
She jumped out of a golf cart and left me there
to crash into [INAUDIBLE].
So we've gone back to the drawing board.
But she'll be driving safe and soon, hopefully.
I'm sorry, just-- so she's driving the golf cart,
and while she's driving it, she jumped out and left you?
I'm in the passenger seat, yeah.
She's messing around and I'm like, you have to slow down.
There's a sharp corner here.
We're driving on the golf course.
And she started to take the corner like, oh, it's OK.
It's fine.
And then she started to veer off the road, off the path,
and she just bailed out, and I smashed into the lava.
Oh my God.
Well just to let you know, our friend Corey Gamble
flipped his golf cart into a sand trap the other day.
We were on the golf course and he literally
went into the sand trap upside-down.
That's not good.
No.
He probably had his license taken away for a little.
Yes.
Not good.
