Netflix pulled out the putters and punchlines in the Peach State this week to celebrate Happy Gilmore 2, complete with a golf-themed pop-up and a tee’d-up taping of a popular podcast.
On Wednesday, July 16, Happy Gilmore 2 Presents: Disruptors Redefining The Game made its first stop at Topgolf Atlanta Midtown, serving up swings, shade, and side-splitting stories with a live episode taping of The Pivot Podcast.
Comedy crushers Kym Whitley and Lavell Crawford hit the mic with hosts Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder, and Fred Taylor for a laugh-out-loud convo about their careers, comedic curveballs, and what it’s like to link up for the Netflix sequel.
During the taping, Kym Whitley kept it real about the highs and lows of being a female comedian…
and Lavell Crawford opened up about breaking stereotypes.
After the taping, attendees ditched the divots and hit the driving range, showing off their swings with sounds from ATL’s premiere sound savant, DJ Unruly. Notable names in the mix included Takeo Spikes, golf influencer Roger Steele, rapper Duke Deuce, Hip-Hop historian NuFace, Cortez Bryant, ButterATL’s Brandon Butler, INC, celebrity photographer Cam Kirk, actress Dawn Halfkenny, ATL radio legend Ryan Cameron, and morning show maven Kyle Santillia.
The ATL affair was just the first stop on the Happy Gilmore 2 tour, next Miami and Los Angeles will get their own dose of Disruptors energy.
