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. 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.
