- You look good.
I was wondering if you were going to still be
hairless up top.
- It was coming on for a while and,
yeah, took it down.
- Yeah, looking good, bud.
- Thanks. - Yeah, you look good.
- Should I follow suit?
- No, you don't need to.
(group laughs)
- [Tom] This is What a Joke.
- [Fortune] With Tom Papa and Fortune Feimster.
- On Netflix is a Joke Radio.
So dominant on Netflix.
Sandy Wexler, Hubie Halloween, Never Don't Give Up,
The Crew, and now, Home Team, which is a really funny movie.
You're just all over the Netflix.
- Yeah, I mean, it's
the greatest place to be now, right? right
Really there is no,
where else you gonna go?
- Especially in the last two years,
no comedies have been going into the theaters. You know
The streamers are where it's at with the comedy.
- The one thing I do miss is ducking into a theater
to watch it with a
opening night
with an audience so if I want to do that now,
I have to break into someone's house
- It would be jarring.
- Stand in the kitchen kind of behind them, watching.
- But we need it.
I'm so glad that you're making it, making the comedies, cause you know
- Thanks Fortune. - Because every time I see
any comedy movie on anywhere, I'm like, thank you, cause like
because it's like we need it. - Yeah, it doesn't have to be good anymore, just the fact that you're attempting to. It's not down.
- I just love comedy so much.
- This one's got a great balance because
it's based on a real story,
and then, of course, there's some great comedy coming in,
not only from yourself, of course, but Gary,
your brother, he's got a good thing.
- Oh Gary!
I know him from my Chelsea Lately days.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
All right, can I ask a spoiler alert question?
- Sure.
- Was that Gary's real belly?
- Yeah, can you believe it?
And let me say something.
I love Gary, and every time we do something together,
especially, you know,
I like to abuse him in some way,
like make him shave his head or do something.
I go, Hey man, you're going to do this thing but
you have to do this too so this one was a push,
it was a massive mustache, which was very funny at the time,
but when you're in 140 degree humidity
in New Orleans shooting, it gets less funny
for the person wearing it, but yeah, his gut in this one.
I couldn't believe, you know what?
It was like the, you know,
those coach shorts and the socks and the way they pull
and the shirt, the tuck-in, everything emphasized it,
and it was just, it made me laugh and him riding a bike
and all that was just,
it made me laugh.
It look like there was
He looked like twins.
- He did.
- Scoreboard thing is tough, huh?
- Well, you don't want the boys to feel too bad
about themselves.
- I think it makes them feel worse.
- Definitely doesn't feel great.
- Hey you did a nice job out there, coach.
- Thanks.
We're getting there.
Troy Lambert.
- Heya Troy, I'm Sean, Sean.
- I know you are.
- Connor's a fine young man.
- Well, your mom did a great job. That she did.
It was a pleasure meeting you.
- Okay.
(bike clinking)
- Hey Sean.
How you doing, Mitch Bizone.
I'm Connor's coach.
Well assistant coach, but still, you know,
we're all part of the team.
Anyway,
I hope I'm not out of line here, but
I am really sorry 'bout everything
that's been going on with you, I mean,
I've been seeing everything all over the news.
- It's all good, thank you.
- Bounty gate.
- Yep.
- That's what they're calling it.
- Newspapers, radio.
It's online too.
- Yep I know.
- You know, the internet.
- No, I know what the internet is, I do.
- Bounty gate.
- Everyone's talking about it.
- Okay.
(bike clanging)
- This was based on the real story
of the New Orleans Saints.
- Yeah.
He got suspended because of the bounty gate whole situation,
and we kind of take off from there.
I remember hearing about that back in the day.
I don't remember anything about this though.
This story really takes place after where
it was the year that he was suspended, which is, you know,
a crazy suspension.
He couldn't have anything to do with the NFL for a year.
He ended up going home and reconnected with his son
and he says, I'm going to continue to coach.
I want to coach my son's football team,
12 year old Peewee football,
and he took him to the champion.
They had never won a game before.
It was just such a great way.
He said it was the greatest coaching in his
season of his life. Wow
Which I don't buy, I mean, he won the Super Bowl, let's.
(Tom laughing)
Kids are great, but that's of course.
- You don't get a ring. - You don't get a ring.
- The kids are great, and the kid who plays your son is
a good actor. - Amazing, Tate.
Tate is insane.
I showed up that one day and you think, yeah,
it's a kid's movie.
It was a scene, I think we started
with like a pretty serious scene
where I was talking with them, and I was like, all right,
this'll be fun, but like bad news bearers, tight.
You know, we're going to have a good time.
He started acting, and I was like, oh my gosh.
Like I had to like really?
He was throwing me.
He was like really good.
He's amazing and annoying because I don't remember,
like, I didn't have talent at anything at that age,
and these kids can kinda, you know, focus that talent
and they were good athletes as well.
They had to be athletes
'cause they had to look like they can play football
and do all that and
really fun, fun bunch of kids.
- Who was the guy who played the guy in the hotel?
- Oh, that's Jared, Jared Sandler.
That's Sandler's nephew.
His brother's kid.
Yeah, he's very funny guy.
- Really funny.
- He's got such a unique, funny delivery.
- Yeah.
- He just made me laugh.
Taylor Lautner's in it, Taylor's great.
He was annoying too, another
athletic, very athletic.
- Good looking, yeah.
- He'd do like a back flip in the middle of a conversation,
like if things got boring just to spice it up,
he could just, he can just hit it.
- And the whole thing was shot in New Orleans?
- It was, it was shot,
which it was challenging COVID and all that.
The biggest thing was the heat I'm telling you.
We're all on turf fields, these high school fields,
it was like a hundred degrees out, but with the humidity
and the fields had to be like sprayed down with water.
It doesn't keep them cool though.
What happens is the water ends up literally steaming,
so it's like
you're getting cooked, you're getting poached.
- Everybody's like having to drink Gatorade.
- Yeah, it was a lot of that.
- I shot something and up here in Simi Valley,
it was like 110 and they're just passing Gatorades around.
- Crazy right?
- This is acting.
(group laughing)
- Who's having trouble with the playbook?
(bus driver laughing)
- It looks unanimous.
(upbeat music) (people murmuring)
- [Sean] I don't want any space here so what's happening,
people were getting through here,
salt shaker right there, that's going to be it okay.
Now we got to get set up here.
Now Connor, Jason, you guys are gonna be our tortilla chips.
That means Dennis and Marcos, you're our lime wedges.
You're right here, which makes our a hot sauce,
that's Brian.
- Brian's more of a napkin.
(kids laughing)
- Now we're goin' green right formation,
that's our initial formation.
Y'all with me?
(kids murmuring in agreement)
Great, okay.
So now we have our X chip on the side here and our Z,
where'd the Z chip? What'd you do?
- Sorry.
- All right, okay, here we go.
We got our Z chip over here,
but we're gonna send our Z chip in motion,
so now we have both by receivers on this side.
Once they crossed the line of scrimmage,
they're cutting right which means our hot sauce.
- I drop back and fake it to the line.
- Yes.
- I'm the line, I pretend to get the ball and block?
- [Sean] Yeah.
- And Jason and I cut to the right.
- And then I throw it to the open tortilla chip.
- Yes!
There you go.
(kid clapping)
- Are you going to go do some live stuff soon?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm gearing up, got some
standup ready to go like I said.
We're also jamming on another little movie we're working on
and that's it man. - Oh nice.
- Enjoying the kids.
I did a play with my kids.
- No way.
- My kids had asked me to do a play.
They're in a small community theater on Long Island.
I said, I'll do it with you guys.
I'd love to, you know, a small part,
and it came up and I had to pay up, but you know,
it was like, you know, time to cash in.
Oliver was the play,
and I joined up and I auditioned, I went in, I go, okay,
I'm going to do it like everybody else.
I got a part.
I'm not kidding.
First of all, there's so many shows.
I said, I can't do this many shows.
I can do, you know, I signed on for like five or six shows.
It's the hardest I've ever worked on anything in my career.
- Why?
- I got to tell you, because it's live,
I had to sing a little bit, and dance.
Like the part I picked,
I literally just wanted to push a broom across, go,
hey everybody, you know?
It's involved, and It's
you've got other people dependent on this
and it's a live audience and it's not even like stand up
where you can be,
if you mess up, you're not messing other people up.
There's lines and timing and dance and steps,
and I'm getting older
so I'm just like, I feel like I'm forgetting everything,
and I was getting pissed at my kids.
I'm like, Hey, you said you can help me rehearse.
We don't have this, and they know every,
they remembered everything and I'm like, oh my God,
please help me, we're opening tomorrow night.
Can you help me? You know?
And I got into a deep panic.
It was a deep panic, and then finally,
I'm not kidding.
I was opening the place, the playhouse.
I was like,
You know taking private lessons, getting people to come in there,
help me dancing, and it was just, it was a lot of work.
It was a lot of work. It was great though.
It was a great show. - They must have loved it.
- They did have a good time.
It was so much fun.
I loved it.
I really did.
And I got to say talent is, they were just as like,
talent it means nothing.
It's like, these guys were good.
Everybody was so good, and I'm like, wow.
I'm very fortunate to be where I am.
I really am.
It's like, 'cause these guys are good.
- You had to be a success, like talents only a part of it.

They're not dumb.
They're the most fun and leisurely boat on a lake.
