Talking Dad Swag With Mark Wahlberg | Dude Turned Dad, Season 1, Ep 15

0:00 You got some dad swag going on for dance.

0:01 Can't recognize gang.

0:03 From one dad fluencer to the oh, Mark Wahlberg gave me dabs. Welcome to dude turned dad. There's a saying called Netflix and chill. I think there should be a new thing called Netflix and child. Caitlin and I have been watching a lot of shows, and I wanted to talk about an interesting phenomenon I've experienced recently.

0:37 Caitlin and I were sitting on the couch, and Caitlin's like, hey, I've never seen this movie room. And she's like, well, it looks good. Let's watch it. We shouldn't have watched this movie. After you have kids, the entire way you consume media changes. I'll give you another example. We recently watched this movie called the Babadook. Ba ba Duke. After you have kids, do not watch the Babadook. And I'll give you a final third example. And it's the reason that this video clip started with me dapping up Mark Wahlberg.

1:06 Working for Fatherly. I get to do some pretty cool things. And recently my boss asked me if I wanted to go to a junket for this movie called Instant Family.

1:14 There's so many kids in foster care, and they're having an orientation.

1:18 Ellie. People who take in foster kids are really special. The kind of people who volunteer when it's not even a holiday. We don't even volunteer on a holiday.

1:26 Instant Family is the story of Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne. They decide to adopt some kids. It's like a pretty middle of the road classic family comedy with Mark Wahlberg. I didn't go in expecting much, and I wept. I cried so hard. In this movie, granted, I'm very tired, and they did that thing where they have manipulative strings. You could say literally anything, but they do that slow zoom and the music is underneath it. So you're crying.

1:52 When I was nine, I broke my arm, but I still wanted to go swimming because it was summer. So I wore a trash bag over my cast, and everyone in my tiny town called me trash boy. Was Instant Family good? I'll say this. I think it's gonna go in the hall of fame of movies that make you cry on an airplane. So this is all to say that thanks to Instant Family and Fatherly, I got to go to this junket and spend about three minutes with some of the cast and crew and ask them some questions about parenting, what I should do with my son, and.

2:19 And whether or not they want to sing the squash song with me. So take a look. It's Saturday. My Son has been jumping up and down all morning. I'm very tired, my hair looks terrible, and it's super windy and sucky out. Let's go talk to Mark Wahlberg about parenting. Jesus.

2:39 Did you say fatherly?

2:40 I did. Yeah.

2:41 So I'll do most of the talking.

2:44 My wife and I didn't read any books before our kids arrived.

2:49 So you're definitely a fatherly fan.

2:51 Yes.

2:52 What's the key to a good dad joke, you think?

2:54 I think it's just got to be God awful.

2:56 Do you have any advice for me about making that transition from being a regular person to becoming a parent?

3:02 No.

3:03 Cloth diapers or regular diapers?

3:05 Oh, I don't got this. Organic everything. Just everything.

3:08 If you could choose Rockstar to name

3:11 another kid after David Lee Roth, why

3:14 should fathers see this film?

3:15 The number one important reason for fathers to see this movie is so they can have more appreciation for the mothers in the world. Because the mothers are the most important and they rock.

3:23 That's so sweet. It's very sweet.

3:26 Sweet. Not true, but sweet.

3:28 So we have a song that we sing to my son which goes. No, no, no. Oh, you got it.

3:32 I'd rather not hear it.

3:33 Do you have any songs that you sing to your kids?

3:35 All right, let's hear yours.

3:36 Mama, Papa. I'm a squash. I'm not the boy. I am a squash.

3:41 And then he goes to sleep.

3:42 Yeah, he loves it.

3:42 He goes to sleep trying to get away from that.

3:45 He does the acapella.

3:47 Go to bed. Cuckoo.

3:48 I have a son. Six months ago. The next six months. What's something I should expect a lot more?

3:53 Eating, sleeping, crying.

3:54 So cute. By the next six months. Love Bug City.

3:58 It's just borderline walks.

4:00 Cuddles like. It's, like, gorgeous. You can take them everywhere.

4:09 I feel like I'm getting two different experiences here. Tig, for anyone who's familiar with your work, we all know you are a master impressionist.

4:15 I am a master impressionist.

4:17 You have perhaps what is the finest impression of a mom calling through a house?

4:22 Yeah.

4:23 As a father myself, I do that. But I do the inverse, which is the. Huh?

4:28 That is the inverse.

4:29 Why do you think dads should see this movie? I laughed out loud. I cried out loud. Probably too loud.

4:35 I cried a little too loud.

4:37 A little too loud on the crying.

4:38 You want some embarrassment in your life? Spend a couple of months crying in front of Mark Wahlberg.

4:42 I just did it just a few moments ago. Cloth diapers or regular diapers?

4:46 No diapers.

4:47 Excellent.

4:47 If really necessary, a maxi Pack, I

4:50 think, is a great way to end this interview as well. Thank you, Tig.

4:54 Thank you.

4:55 So, are me and Mark Wahlberg best friends? No. Did I get daps from Mark Wahlberg? Yes.

4:59 Did.

5:00 Does that make me better than you? Of course it does. Did the cast and crew of Instant Family help me learn anything about parenting?

5:06 Is that from golf? You're cows? Yeah.

5:09 Not really. It's hard to get good parenting advice in three minutes. I think I actually probably learned more from Tig than I did from Mark Wahlberg. Yeah. I am constantly surprised by the things that change now that I have a son. I didn't think my media habits would change. I didn't think that movies and television would affect me as much as they do. Now I understand why people love this is Us. So thanks to the cast and crew of Instant Family for talking to me.

5:30 I don't know about you, but I'm hoping that Mark Wahlberg's power cut into my hand a little bit. I don't know. What do you think? Yeah, that's right. You got a little bit of Mark Wahlberg's power in your hand now. So what are you gonna do with it? You gonna punch guys? You gonna be good to your kid? If Mark Wahlberg ever finds out about this impression, you're a dead man. Say hello to your other hand for me.
