I met Mark

working on the show,
"Wahlburgers."

I was the showrunner.

He kind of took a shine to me
right away.

Well, I shouldn't say
"right away."

He took a shine to me
eventually.

Archie, let me pick out a hat
for you.

A bomber.

- Okay.
[both laugh]

- Yeah. Look.

- That's a look.
- Very sharp.

wonderful partner.

He got kind of thrown

on dealing with me.

- Of course,
Mark gives me shit.

at "Wahlburgers,"

Mark said, "How about we
work together on a company?"

And I was--of course.
I mean,

that was
an incredible opportunity,

partner of Unrealistic Ideas

to do documentary films,

docuseries, non-scripted
programming, and podcasts.

There's a lot of pressure
on me

to have this company succeed.

And you see

He feels like, what we sent him

And on the fabrics,

We got the first prototype,

to our standards.

It didn't have that ruggedness

Municipal was,

That's been challenging

You know, first of all,
it is totally unexpected

to walk into a place
called Wahlburger

and see a big bar like that.

We sat there because
there was a wait for tables

and it was open seating
at the bar.

from 28 seats

service-bar services,

But a business is really

tested when it goes bad.

of a good manager
in business--

dealing with the unpleasant.

when we started this business,

I was like, "I wanna grow
and build a business

that I can pass on
to future generations."

And then, I was like,
"Oh, my God,

"we gotta figure out how to
make sure that this business

"is profitable for
the people who are, you know,

taking a risk on us
and invested in us."

And that being said,
there's days where I'm like,

"Why the fuck did I get involved
in this shit?"

You know, it's just frustrating.

You know, we're in it
for the long haul,

but we wanna figure out
how to do it the right way.

every day that goes by,

there's money left
on the table,

to everything is to understand

what the objectives are.

- Um, running and
operating restaurants,

multiple units,
it's not an easy thing to do.

don't continue to wait
