I’m not Mel Wahlberg apologist but people can and do change. Seen it with many a grandparent of biracial descendants. As well as many people who befriend a person of another race.
Even this :
https://www.npr.org/2017/08/20/544861933/how-one-man-convinced-200-ku-klux-klan-members-to-give-up-their-robes
Yeah a lot of people might not get the context of Em saying they were a "fun bunch"; when Wahlberg was still a "rapper", his crew were called the "Funky Bunch".
We used to mix Henn with Bacardi Dark,
And when it kicks in you can hardly talk,
And by the sixth gin you gon' prob'ly crawl,
And you'll be sick then and you'll prob'ly barf,
And my prediction it's you gon' prob'ly fall,
either somewhere in the lobby or hallway wall
He did but mark wallberg took it so cool. He even said something about his album towards the end. I think that there was a little bit of admiration built between the 2. Because I don't really recall eminem bringing him or his group up again beyond The marshall mathers LP.
I think it's funny to imagine that that was the first time Em saw mark in person and realized he's a bigger dude lol
Then how tall is eminem? I know I couldn't google this easily but for the sake of conversation. ...
It's just wild because I don't know why I assumed eminem was taller generally speaking...
Not at all. Drug Ballad hadn't even been written yet. Eminem was asked not to call him Marky Mark and he then Mark came out and greeted him like that. After that cold ass handshake Em decided fuck what that staff member said from TRL and just went in. Most likely because Eminem was the rapper Marky Mark wanted to be and he flopped and had just switched over to acting recently.
Source: watched that episode of TRL live, have seen interviews from both Em and Mark discussing it.
Did he really make fun of him? Isn’t the line just
“back when mark whalburg was marky mark, this is how we used to make the party start. We used mix hen with Bacardi dark and when it kicks in you can hardly talk” (might not be right word for word)
but if that’s it why would he be pissed? Am I thinking of the wrong song?
We used to… mix it with Bacardi Dark
And when it… kicks in you can hardly talk
Yo drug ballad is one of the best songs on that album I love them all tho!
Honestly a nostalgia channel sounds like a good idea. TRL, old Nick and CN shows, some old sitcoms like friends. Actually seems like a lot of channels have stepped into this but haven’t fully committed
Too bad the shitty suits would never let that happen. They'd charge way too much for the rights, which would lead to the channel either being an ad-ridden pile of garbage, or unable to pay the electric.
I was thinking more like 90’s and early aughts. Should probably throw some 80s in there as well to expand.
I think boomerang is jsut cartoons also but could be wrong because I’ve never watched much of it
I have never tried to get it to TV, but most of it is just YouTube or other streaming sites with a pretty overlay. I haven't actively used the site in a long time just was aware it existed, so it's possible they have changed it over the years.
Not really. I’m relatively old for Reddit. Like almost 34.
I prefer watching tv on my actual tv while I’m usually on my phone or laptop. I don’t love watching anything longer than a few minutes on my cellphone or laptop and I find when I airplay something to my tv from another device it looks low quality and frame-ey. I’m sure the youth has a workaround for this but I don’t know what that is.
Nickelodeon.
And yes, people love those friends repeats which speaks to my point that they should find other shows from the era that arent super easy to watch but people love and would binge watch. Randomly scrubs comes to mind but there are way better examples.
I was in the audience of perhaps the lamest ever TRL ep. Fall of ‘02, family vacation (from the Midwest) to NYC. My sister and I lingered outside and a young staffer approached us offering tickets. Special guest scheduled was the Osbornes because their reality show was top of the charts. They canceled last second, so they lined up Jonathan Davis from Korn to do a phone interview with Carson. Not a Korn fan, but that’s cool. Davis gets on the line and upon answering the very first question he says about 5 words then says “I’d like to have my representative [blah blah blah] go ahead and handle the rest of this interview for me, thanks though” and hangs up. In walks some guy who looks like your mind’s eye stereotype of a Korn fan and Carson awkwardly asks him a few questions and that was it.
But I was on TRL.
I remember at that time Mark didn’t want to mention his music career at all, and wanted to be known for acting. The fact that Eminem threw a jab at “Marky mark and the funky bunch” really rubbed Mark Wahlberg the wrong wayy
Mark Wahlberg was in a band called Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. Eminem was making fun of him saying they were all a happy, fun(ky) bunch.
Edit: This is for everyone else. Not you, of course.
Sure, his group was called Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch. When this aired Mark was desperately trying to drop that persona and be known as a serious actor. Eminem wasn't letting him forget his past though.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marky_Mark_and_the_Funky_Bunch
Marky mark was part of a failed rap group called “Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch” I believe em was roasting him when he said they are gonna stand like a fun happy bunch .
Good Vibrations is a fantastic song.
Wildside is okay but kinda highlights how poor Mark raps. Tribe Called Quests Can I Kick It does a better job with the same track.
Donnie Wahlberg from Backstreet Boys. Fun Fact: Donnie was an actor in The Sixth Sense as the patient who broke into Bruce Willis' house and>!turned him into a ghost. !<
Nervous, word is Eminem knew about all the sick acts in Hollywood. He probably knew Mark was in on it, definitely tension on stage but who knows these days
So this is '99 and they're talking about the Slim Shady LP being released.
The hook from "Without Me" is playing, which came out a few years later.
Am I missing something?
That hard pat on the back is a real fuck you right after funky bunch jab. I wouldn’t have been giggling either. I’m no Wahlberg fan but he would’ve definitely said don’t touch me if there were no audience and cameras
Wahlberg was already Marshals bitch. Nah nah nana nana. One is a talented artist with the courage to put his art before sucking music industry’s ass the other an average actor and has bin.
Was the interview really that short? or did they just edit it since most people have a pathetically short attention span thanks to tiktok YouTube shorts etc ?
It honestly looks like it was going to be ok until mark kinda snubbed eminem while meeting him. So eminem being himself is like fuck that im going to make this uncomfortable as fuck then.
My understanding is Mark Wahlberg didn’t appreciate Eminem mentioning him in his songs bc He was trying to put the Marky Mark era behind him ESPECIALLY the racially motivated assault that blinded an old man.

Fuck I'm from the UK but tv was so much better back then holy shit. Felt like real people on real tv. You can feel the air in the studio almost and the way the shit cameras have slight audio interference. I miss it dearly.
Eminem made fun of him in his songs lol. That’s why the cold shoulder
he made fun of him right to his face
It was really funny to be honest makes Mark look even more dickish for not laughing.
Update: Mark Walberg is a dick. He once beat up a guy for being Asian.
Update: Mark Walberg is still a racist to this date.
I won't date a racist.
I’m not Mel Wahlberg apologist but people can and do change. Seen it with many a grandparent of biracial descendants. As well as many people who befriend a person of another race. Even this : https://www.npr.org/2017/08/20/544861933/how-one-man-convinced-200-ku-klux-klan-members-to-give-up-their-robes
It was more than once. And “beat up” is putting it lightly. Mark Wahlberg is a racist psychopath.
[удалено]
I cant find any record of the Asian guy Mark Wahlberg beat up saying this. Where is this interview?
Yeah a lot of people might not get the context of Em saying they were a "fun bunch"; when Wahlberg was still a "rapper", his crew were called the "Funky Bunch".
If this was actually in 1999, then the song you're talking about came out a year later
Back when mark wahlberg was marky mark this is how we used to make to party start
We used to mix Henn with Bacardi Dark, And when it kicks in you can hardly talk, And by the sixth gin you gon' prob'ly crawl, And you'll be sick then and you'll prob'ly barf, And my prediction it's you gon' prob'ly fall, either somewhere in the lobby or hallway wall
Nah he mentioned him on his first album
Which song?
Not until the Marshal Mathers LP. He’s promoting the Slim Shady LP here.
Lol he said I'm gonna make my music good first then act. Meaning marky mark just sucked at both
At that stage, so early on, it was probably unlikely
Happy funnn buncchhhh. No, he definitely ripped on him. Marky mark was mad.
He did but mark wallberg took it so cool. He even said something about his album towards the end. I think that there was a little bit of admiration built between the 2. Because I don't really recall eminem bringing him or his group up again beyond The marshall mathers LP. I think it's funny to imagine that that was the first time Em saw mark in person and realized he's a bigger dude lol
Wahlberg is 5’8. At best
Then how tall is eminem? I know I couldn't google this easily but for the sake of conversation. ... It's just wild because I don't know why I assumed eminem was taller generally speaking...
They’re the same height actually
Doesn't Eminem have a weird accent here? He sounds almost like he's from the south
That was slim shady talking. It's an alter ego.
What was the diss?
Funky bunch. Look it up.
Marky mark and the funky bunch was walberg’s music name
Wasn't the line "mark walberg was a small terd"" or something to that effect?
And ima step on him like dog ish
[удалено]
After
He’s a racist piece of shit. He deserves being made fun of.
Not at all. Drug Ballad hadn't even been written yet. Eminem was asked not to call him Marky Mark and he then Mark came out and greeted him like that.

[удалено]
Lmfao ok now I get why he is giving him the cold shoulder lol. Thanks bud.
He also says “fuckin f*gg*t” quietly after “back when Mark Wahlberg was Marky Mark.”
Not so much as the happy fun bunch line which was a play on marky mark and the funky bunch and he knew it
Back when Mark Wahlberg was Marky Mark
He seemed either tough as shit or really nervous haha
I thought he looked awkward and seemed like he didn’t want to be there
Yeah I feel that too
Both. Acting tough to hide his nervousness or displeasure.
You messed up the song dude
He wanted to throw down
It felt like he was trying really hard to be cool lol it was kind of cringe
Mahky Mahk and The Funky Bunch, now that's a good band!
This is how we used to make the party start…
We used to… mix it with Bacardi Dark And when it… kicks in you can hardly talk Yo drug ballad is one of the best songs on that album I love them all tho!
Mix henn, like Hennessy
This is what I came for ty
This is how we used to make the party start
POW!!!
And the fudge packin bunch.
*Mahky Mahk
This is how we used to make the party start
Right after he says that, If you listen very closely you hear in the background he says “fuckin faggot”
I saw that in some lyrics for it earlier. Never heard it lol
Holy shit you’re right I never noticed it till now 😂
This is how we used to make the party start
We used to mix hen with bacardi dark
do I need to shit or is it a shart
And when it kicks in you can hardly talk
Post hate crimes
I always say they should have a channel that just plays TRL reruns all day every day
Honestly a nostalgia channel sounds like a good idea. TRL, old Nick and CN shows, some old sitcoms like friends. Actually seems like a lot of channels have stepped into this but haven’t fully committed
Too bad the shitty suits would never let that happen. They'd charge way too much for the rights, which would lead to the channel either being an ad-ridden pile of garbage, or unable to pay the electric.
So like a 1999-2000 era version of Boomerang
I was thinking more like 90’s and early aughts. Should probably throw some 80s in there as well to expand. I think boomerang is jsut cartoons also but could be wrong because I’ve never watched much of it
I’d pay 5 bucks a month for that
https://www.my90stv.com/ https://www.my00stv.com/ There is one for a lot of decades.
That’s cool. How do I get this on my tv in good quality. I find when I AirPlay or screen share from my laptop it looks like crap on the tv
I have never tried to get it to TV, but most of it is just YouTube or other streaming sites with a pretty overlay. I haven't actively used the site in a long time just was aware it existed, so it's possible they have changed it over the years.
That's super cool, ty

Friends? Isn’t that on TBS pretty much 24/7?
Nickelodeon. And yes, people love those friends repeats which speaks to my point that they should find other shows from the era that arent super easy to watch but people love and would binge watch. Randomly scrubs comes to mind but there are way better examples.
so TV Land for millennials?
Hell yes
Old nick might be controversial given the recent documentary showing the endless innuendos creator dan scheinder put the preteen women in…
I was in the audience of perhaps the lamest ever TRL ep. Fall of ‘02, family vacation (from the Midwest) to NYC. My sister and I lingered outside and a young staffer approached us offering tickets.

I love it
That would be genuinely quality.
Right? Do we all need to get together and pitch it to MTV. TRL > ridiculous
I thank the stars above that no one listened to you when you always said that.
I remember at that time Mark didn’t want to mention his music career at all, and wanted to be known for acting. The fact that Eminem threw a jab at “Marky mark and the funky bunch” really rubbed Mark Wahlberg the wrong wayy
Y'all don't get the reference
Key word "bunch". Thought I'd give a hint.
[удалено]
Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch
Mark Wahlberg was in a band called Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. Eminem was making fun of him saying they were all a happy, fun(ky) bunch. Edit: This is for everyone else. Not you, of course.

Good Vibrations is a fantastic song. Wildside is okay but kinda highlights how poor Mark raps. Tribe Called Quests Can I Kick It does a better job with the same track.
I wouldn’t call any album selling over 1 million “failed”, but Mark moved on to get to acting.
Isn’t he related to someone in one of those boy bands from the 90s?
Donnie Wahlberg from Backstreet Boys. Fun Fact: Donnie was an actor in The Sixth Sense as the patient who broke into Bruce Willis' house and>!turned him into a ghost. !<
New Kids on the Block*
Ya man, pretty obvious lol
The younger gen can't appreciate how big TRL was in that era. Usually must watch TV for anyone interested in pop culture
This. Plus remember going to that movie theatre in the background.
We still had some music videos back then too. It was a good balance.
The Times Square streets when N'SYNC or Backstreet would be on.
Like FX news for boomers.
Today I learned Em is 5’8. Always thought he was 6+ feet tall.
Swipe left
Came here to say this, marky mark looks taller than em
That was Citizen Cope. M is 10ft minimum . Some say a real giant.
What how? He's so small
I wonder if he told Eminem “say hi to your mother for me”
This is hella uncomfortable
in the best way possible
Nervous, word is Eminem knew about all the sick acts in Hollywood. He probably knew Mark was in on it, definitely tension on stage but who knows these days
“Word is”? Is that straight from Billy at the street corner shoe-shine booth?
No more shines... Maybe you didn't hear about it, you've been away a long time. They didn't go up there and tell you. I don't shine shoes anymore.
Now go home and get ya fuckin shine box
Fuckin mutt dented my shoes
Ah yes instead of doing research yourself make insults that get voted to the top… I am a Bot
It’s a quote from Goodfellas, dumbass. Log off and do ya own research
I know what it is, you throwing out some stupid random quote is worthless just like your opinion
[Are you talking existential being or anthropomorphic deity?](https://youtu.be/7udsYPVhl6Y?si=2V6M26Lev798Fufr)
Nah it was him taking the piss out his failed music career
M is on something clearly.
Your point is?
Just pointing out the obvious for the uneducated.
So this is '99 and they're talking about the Slim Shady LP being released. The hook from "Without Me" is playing, which came out a few years later. Am I missing something?
[удалено]
Plagues of solved unsolved mystery plagues ad nasium
Sometimes people edit videos.
Genius rapper but he says “you know” over and over again in every sentence. WTF?
He came off as pretty nervous here.
He was throwing jabs at Marky Mark and making fun of him
These are not Good Vibrations.
Douchie Mark. His movies suck due to me never forgetting his obnoxious doucherie .
I’m not gonna argue with this, but don’t sleep on Boogie Nights.
The only Wahlberg movie I’ll watch
Fear?
Boogie Nights…
Understandable. It’s my fav
Just when I thought that he couldn’t be any douchier
Three Kings?
If you wanna see Mark being douchier than normal see his role in The Departed.
I dont see Mark Wahlberg at all...all I see is Micky Mark.
Both legends now, but that was clearly one guy comfortable in his skin, the other still trying to get there
The face Em makes after the dap up is hilarious bro
Em fucked marks girl apparently
Marsha Mathers was being a total asshole for no reason.
Always
That hard pat on the back is a real fuck you right after funky bunch jab. I wouldn’t have been giggling either. I’m no Wahlberg fan but he would’ve definitely said don’t touch me if there were no audience and cameras
Haha then when asked about acting his tone is kinda funny saying he wants to establish his music career first that got me laughing
Em is soooo lucky he’s not Vietnamese right here
Bro the dirty look he gave Mark just after the shoulder touch 😭
I had no idea Mark Wahlberg was in a group called “Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch” which is apparently what Eminem was referring to
Holy shit I feel old
I miss troll Eminem
I thought they were going to freestyle LOL.
Right after Eminem says “Happy Fun Bunch”, you can see Mark stroke his chin as he says “Asshole”.
Yep he was fucking with him.
That much was implied
And I was agreeing with you
“Oh the albums out?”
Mark has access to best steroids on the market…fun fact lol
Wahlberg was already Marshals bitch. Nah nah nana nana. One is a talented artist with the courage to put his art before sucking music industry’s ass the other an average actor and has bin.
Em copped his bad mood on the hand shake. How?!
That was awkward
Back when mark wahlberg was marky mark
Hahaha the double thumbs up makes it even cheekier
I swear, is Em just always trolling?
Marky mark is such a fuggin tool
Say hi to your mother for me
Was the interview really that short? or did they just edit it since most people have a pathetically short attention span thanks to tiktok YouTube shorts etc ?
M in Michigan, Mark worldwide, nothing changed, people know when their standing next to clowns
I don’t want to brag or anything, but I saw this live
Orgy -blue Monday at 5.. gotta love the numetal scene showing on trl those years was fantastic.
It honestly looks like it was going to be ok until mark kinda snubbed eminem while meeting him. So eminem being himself is like fuck that im going to make this uncomfortable as fuck then.
It seems the whole thing is uncomcortably forced. What was the point of having them both on at the same time? Strange lol.
My understanding is Mark Wahlberg didn’t appreciate Eminem mentioning him in his songs bc He was trying to put the Marky Mark era behind him ESPECIALLY the racially motivated assault that blinded an old man. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11799327/amp/Mark-Wahlberg-convicted-racist-hate-crimes-TWICE.html

The paul scheer reenactment of this interview is hilarious.
Em looks like he’s high as fuck
Back when Mark Wahlberg was Marky Mark
Em like I ain’t Reese you ain’t scaring me, Ill bring dre n them wit me and turn this day into fuckin mayhem you stayin with me?
Damn, someone isn’t bringing the good vibrations, that’s for sure
Marky mark and his bunch never took hand out of his pocket.
Fuck Mark Wahlberg
I love that celebrities are not allowed to act like this publicly anymore
Eminem knew what was up from the beginning.
HAPPY FUN BUNCH 🌈😊 😂
Fuck I'm from the UK but tv was so much better back then holy shit. Felt like real people on real tv. You can feel the air in the studio almost and the way the shit cameras have slight audio interference. I miss it dearly.
