00:00Our next speaker, Mark Wahlberg.

00:06And what about this location?

00:27Thank you, everybody.

00:28Good morning.

00:29It's a beautiful, beautiful day.

00:31I'm so happy and fortunate that I'm here to celebrate with my brother.

00:35You know, Mario and I have been friends for a long time.

00:38I think there's one quick thing that I have to call bullshit on, excuse my language, but

00:44I've been watching this guy on television since I was a baby.

00:49He was like this buff dude with the mullet and the tank top.

00:53I come and I meet him.

00:54Now, he's two years younger than me.

00:56How is that even possible?

00:59And I apologize, I just showed up from the golf course.

01:01I didn't get the memo, but he's always obviously dressed to the nines and I am very surprised

01:08that he hasn't gotten this star and this acknowledgement a long time ago, but I know it's well worth

01:12the wait.

01:13I know what it means to you and especially I know what it means to your mom and to your

01:16dad.

01:17And I asked your mother, please don't bring me to tears.

01:19But it's very difficult because, you know, this restaurant was built, you know, with

01:24my mother and with my family and nothing more important than family.

01:29Mario and I always joke that he's got Irish in him and I have Mexican in me and I really

01:34feel like he is my hermano and my mijente.

01:37So I really appreciate him asking me to come and speak because, you know, he's somebody

01:43that I admire and I've looked up to for a long time.

01:45To be able to do all the things that he does, multitask the way he does, but also balancing

01:50his family and the priorities of his children, it's a wonderful balance and he does it with

01:55ease.

01:56So I'm very impressed and I wanted to thank you, tell you that I look up to you even though

02:00you say you're younger than me.

02:03And he thinks I had something to do with this.

02:07I promise you I didn't.

02:08If I could have, I would have put my own star here.

02:12But it's something that we get to celebrate.

02:15Thank you for making that video for me, by the way.

02:18I appreciate it.

02:19And, you know, I'm glad you guys all came out.

02:21You can see what Mario's meant to everybody by the turnout that we have here.

02:26It's pretty incredible.

02:27Mario, make sure you take that in because, you know, like you said, people feel like

02:31they know you.

02:32You know, you are authentic and you are very true to who you are.

02:36I admire you for a long time, brother.

02:37I love you.

02:38I love that we got to work on the Oscar doc together.

02:41We have many other things coming in the future.

02:44And I like, you know, I'm proud to call you my friend and my brother and my colleague.

02:47So thank you, buddy.

02:48Congratulations.

02:49Well deserved.
