Summary

Henry Winkler joins the Breaking Bread family and tells Tom he is still hungry. Winkler talks all things Happy Days and his starts in show biz as the Fonz and making magic with Ron Howard. He then shares how he broke out of his Fonz shaped mold and put his head down and got to work to start to make his dreams come true. Winkler gives Tom advice on picking your favorite kid, making a marriage last, and how to be cool. Henry Winkler would also really like it if Ryan Gosling played him in the biopic of his life.
