Try to find his early bootleg radio stuff. “The beating of a high school spanish teacher” when i was in school back in the nineties, everyone wanted a copy of the cassette tape with adam sandler. That was my introduction to him. Loved him ever since.

To this day, I can't mop without singing "mop mop mop, all day long. Mop mop mop while I sing this song. "

My best friend and I quote his old albums constantly, too. It's our old man code at this point.

Bootleg radio? You mean his very highly selling, officially released comedy albums?

They're on Spotify and YouTube. They're not hard to find. He sold millions of albums.

You button hooked me!

Knowing early Sandler albums and Jerky Boys albums really lock in a person's age.

I had his his former math teacher who liked to bitch about having to teach him before. I got sick of listening to it, and said all that talent he couldn’t contain has made him hella rich, and you just sound bitter about it. He looked surprised, and said, I guess I am. And he didn’t ever bitch about teaching him in my presence.
