00:00So did you guys ever think you would do a sequel or was this a shock?
00:03I had heard that it was happening and I thought, well, I won't be in it.
00:07Well, and I didn't, that was okay.
00:09I was like, I don't even, Virginia Bennett, it's been 30 years, he's got a hottie.
00:13He's got some little bitty on the side, like a cart girl, you know.
00:19As a matter of fact, my children told me, before I even was told officially that there was a Happy Gilmore sequel,
00:25my now 18-year-old said, Mom, I hear they're doing a sequel and he's with Sidney Sweeney as a cart girl.
00:32And I went, I'm hurt and I so respect that move?
00:37Of course.
00:39Why wouldn't you?
00:40So when I got the call that I was actually in and I was like, are you sure?
00:45Come on.
00:46But yeah, yeah, here I am.
00:48I mean, you have Bad Bunny, you have Travis Kelsey, a bunch of golfers, a lot of additions this time.
00:52Who are you most excited by?
00:55Yeah, Benito, I call him Benito.
00:56We're really good friends.
00:58We're super tight.
00:59I mean, I worship him and I love him.
01:02I listen to his newest album over and over.
01:05It's so classic.
01:10But seeing Bad Bunny on set, I was just like, oh, I can't actually look you in the eye.
01:15I'm going to have to walk away.
01:16And I did.
01:17And then I think he was offended and I had to circle back and now I'd made it worse.
01:21But I didn't know.
01:22I was like, he doesn't want to talk to me.
01:25Does he know you're such a fan then?
01:27No.
01:28Because I was just like, oh, hey, did you change your hair?
01:31And then like ran away.
01:33I'm not cool.
01:35I'm the kind of person that doesn't want to meet her heroes because I think I'm just going to be a jackass.
01:39And maybe her hair.
01:41And maybe her hair.
01:41And maybe her hair.
