We’re back after a month off, suited up in our Happy Gilmore jerseys (and an uncomfortably warm penguin suit), to celebrate the Sandman himself! In this episode of Altered Judgement, we raise a glass of "Golden Parachute" hazy IPA and dive headfirst into the Happy Madison universe in honor of Adam Sandler's milestone birthday.

From his Mount Rushmore run on Saturday Night Live and 90s classic comedies to his modern Netflix era and family projects like You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah, we break down what makes his career so iconic. Plus, we debate our top Sandler films, play an intense round of "Steps to Sandler," and close things out with our favorite movie quotes.

In this episode, we break down:

• Our month off and what’s ahead for the studio

• Cracking open "Golden Parachute" hazy IPAs

• Sandler turning the big 6-0 and his Mount Rushmore comedy status

• A full career deep dive—from the SNL golden era and '90s comedy masterclasses to his dramatic shifts and Netflix hits

• How Sandler shaped our senses of humor and pop culture as we know it

• Steps to Sandler: The connection game (and penguin suit debut)
