00:00What was it like putting on the hockey jersey for the first time in 30 years?

00:08Tight, tighter than you want.

00:10Hockey jerseys, never tight on anybody somehow.

00:13It was snug on my shoulders and my gut, so we just upped the size, and it felt, let's make a movie.

00:19So what was the moment for you that goes, you know what, let's do this.

00:23Let's revisit Happy Story.

00:25I don't remember the one moment.

00:27I know that last couple of years we were banging around the idea of seeing Happy older and what his life was like,

00:35and then we kind of, me and Tim Hurley, who wrote the original one, we wrote together.

00:41We started getting excited about some thoughts, and then we started outlining movie,

00:47and then all of a sudden we got really excited about what we were talking about.

00:51And grabbing new friends along the way, like Benito and Travis, can you see them?

00:55Can you work with them down the road and other projects that you have coming up?

00:59I mean, it would be ridiculous.

01:00They were both so confident and so funny, they're going to go on and do whatever the hell they want.

01:07But I'd love to do something with them again because I got very friendly with both of them, and I love them both.

01:12What would you say was your happy place 30 years ago versus today?

01:16I certainly ate enough back in the day that the happy place was certainly involving quarter pounders,

01:23and now today we're trying to find a happy place of, you know, a half a quarter pounder and calming down.

01:32What was the feedback for you seeing the nostalgia factor that everybody grasped onto once you announced this?

01:38It was exciting and, like, it made me feel like I didn't want to let them down, wanted to work hard,

01:46put out a movie that they all can click with and remind them of the old days

01:51and bring them to some new funny stuff and a family stuff, and just, we worked as hard as we could to be proud of it.

01:59Stepping on set, did it feel like click, though, because it felt like yesterday you ended happy?

02:03Yeah, man, yeah, yeah, it felt kind of weird.

02:06It felt like it brought back great memories of people that I work with,

02:11and when Stiller came by the set and we looked at each other, we laughed our asses off.

02:16It was just kind of like, it's kind of a weird feeling.

02:19It's a long time in between the two.
