Summary

Erik interviews Happy Gilmore director Dennis Dugan, who's favorite line from the blockbuster Adam Sandler golf comedy happens to be… "you eat pieces of s@&t for breakfast?!" We'll hear many behind the scenes anecdotes from a classic comedic film that couldn't be more topical now, as golf culture strives to break out of its own tradition and reinvent itself. And finally, Erik and Dennis get to the bottom of where the Happy Gilmore swing actually came from and whether or not it leads to longer drives... the answer is surprising!
