Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Let's bring in Cornbread Maxwell, Celtics radio analyst and former
MVP in the nineteen eighty one NBA Finals. All right, Cedric,
how do you explain that Celtics are down two to
OHO and heading to New York on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Didn't shoot the ball?
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Will It was very simple, and didn't execute early in
the basketball game. The first two games they shot the ball, well,
they executed, and then they got executed in those second halfs.
They didn't play with any ferocity, they didn't play any defense,
and the Knicks just the Knicks deserved the win. And
(00:43):
then then I thought I had I thought people were
noxious in LA. When I thought about the Laker fans,
they got nothing. On the Nick fans, they got nothing.
I have gone to another height of hatred.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Now, Oh my.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
God, oh boy, wait till Saturday night, Wait till.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Wait till they lose Saturday.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
That's now a lot of analysts. You got a lot
of experts saying the Celtics need to change. You're not
making threes, go inside, get to the free throw line.
Can they change? And do you buy into that offensive
philosophy when you're not shooting well from three point range
to change it up.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Well, Dan, you know I was. I was old schooled.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
So we played in the paint with BERR McHale Parish,
those guys, we played in the paint.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
But I'll put it this way.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
When you went to the prom and you with your
pretty girlfriend, did you change and see another girl and
you went home with the other one. No, you stayed
the course and you did what you normally do. You
stayed with And Joe Miszoula believes that his team is
going to shoot better.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
They can't shoot.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
As poorly as they have in the lad in these
two halves and lose a basketball game.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Again, Is Jason Tatum in your mind a top five player?
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Yes, yes, And uh then I'll asked you one of
these questions. We'll talk about one of the greatest power
for US of all time, Kevin McHale. The all main
points he averaged in the championship game against championship series
against the Houston Rockets in nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Can you take a.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Guess ten points four four points. So what I'm saying
by that is the others have to do better. You
got to get if Tatum isn't shooting the ball well,
Brown has to step up. The year that Larry Bird
had in nineteen eighty one, he averaged thirteen points, fifteen
(02:40):
points can but he averaged fifteen rebounds. So other people
have to do other things to step up and make
it easier for Tatom when he's not shooting the ball well.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
So okay, let's run down the list here if he's
in the top five. So Joker sga, Yes, do you
put Luca top five?
Speaker 6 (03:01):
No?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Uh huh No, Anthony.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Edwards, I wouldn't put him before Tatum, Jannish up and down.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
I think I think he had a better I think
Jason Tatum had a better year than Yannis. So I
mean there's no I mean you if you go then
there's no clear cut. So yeah, so you can't tell,
all right, you said Jannis over Tatum?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Where else you going with that?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I probably still put Luca there.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
I wouldn't put Luca there. No, No, Luca doesn't. Luca
doesn't play enough defense. And this is why I have
to believe in the great Kendrick Perkins. He said, Luca
might be the best superstar non defensive player in the
history of basketball. He can score your points, but he
gives them up in bunches, So I can't go that way.
I love his greatness on the offensive being, but not
(03:54):
on the defensive end.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
But you know what we pick and choose with that,
because did any body ever go man Magic Johnson what
a defender? No one ever said anything about Magic's defense.
Bird was not a good defender, Barkley said, as long
as Larry's on the floor, there's always somebody who's worse
on defense than him.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Well, let me say this there, Dan, do you know
that Larry Bird made all defensive teams several times?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Yeah, but because he came up with steles, he played
the passing lanes, he couldn't guard. He wasn't guarding. You
come on, you probably torched him in practice.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
So we're talking. You're talking about guys who were great
on both ends of the floor. And this is what
I love about Tatum. Tatum is Tatum has been a
hell of a defender and he's also been a great rebound.
What he didn't do in these last couple of games,
he didn't shoot the ball will and normally Jalen Brown
is able to pick him up or for zingis. But
(04:51):
whatever this is is.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Going on with Porzingis hasn't really really let it happen.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
The Knicks haven't played great though. I think he you know,
everybody keeps focusing on Boston hasn't played their game. The
Knicks haven't played great. I mean, to be down by
twenty points in two consecutive games. I think they just
they they have patients, and they're kind of like the
puncher who's gonna take three punches and give you one
in return.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
That that might be true. And I think the thing
is Josh Hard has played extremely well. He's been the
key to what he had twenty three points. You're gonna
say you're gonna get something from carlonn Anthney Towns, You're
gonna have to give up something from Brunson. But when
you have him scoring away and then Bridges, who really
has disappeared all the Knicks were complaining about, oh, we
gave these draft choices.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
He showed up last night and scored the basketball.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
So in different ways, the Knicks have played very effective
basketball in the second half, but also in the second
halves of these games, the Celticants have collapsed.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
All right, what has to happen on Saturday? Night, right
out of the game.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Right out, they gave be aggressive ballot.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Are we shooting trees?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
You're still gonna shoot threes.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
You're still gonna shoot.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
You're still gonna shoot the threes, but you're gonna be
a little bit more aggressive about taking the ball to
the paint. One thing the Celtics did extremely well was
when you saw Drew Holliday take Brunton in the paint
and score on him repeatedly. That's one of the keys
that you have to do to occupy a great score.
What you have to do is attack him on as
deep as a band.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
You I think made one three pointer in your career, Yes,
I did you remember that one?
Speaker 3 (06:30):
I do.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
It was in Houston and in that game only four
three pointers were were.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Taken in that particular game.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
So so as you like to say, what's your point there,
what's your point?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I love you your If bird played, now, how many
three pointers is he allowed to take?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Fourteen?
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Fifteen?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
And I talked to a guy who was like that
in twine Walker. Every time he lined up and take
a three when he's with the self. Early in his career,
people saw a board him. I talked to him about
a couple of weeks ago. He said, Man, they would
have cheered me for what I'm doing right now, taking three.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
So the game has changed. Steph Curry did one thing.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
He changed the game and the way almost no other
player has done making the three pointer.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I talked to his dad and I.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Asked his dad. I said, your son has destroyed the
game the way I loved it. He said, yeah, there
are a lot of three point takers, but there are
a lot of three point makers.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, there are guys who shoot threes. There are guys
who make threes. There's a big difference in that everybody
thinks they can make a three.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Damn.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
When you go to any local gym or you go outside,
the first thing a guy does.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
He couldn't.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
He couldn't hit it inside. The first thing he does
is lined up and try to take a three. So
people have been programmed now that the game has changed.
It is during the time I played when they played
the Rockets in nineteen eighty one, the championship series that
were like in this championship game, I think there were
five threes attempt it for the entire game.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Now five threes are attempted in the first.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Two minutes have fun in New York. Be prepared. They're
waiting for you.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
I cannot wait, Dan, I thought I hated the Laker fans,
but man, they've gone down the pig right now.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Next suck So.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Saying, why don't you wear your old Celtics jersey to
the game.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Because I'm old school? Damn? What do I need? You
want to beat up a seventy year old man with
you were born in nineteen fifty six. Yeah, I was
born in nineteen fifty five. Come on, give me a break.

Sue Bird won four WNBA champion and chips. She was
an All Star thirteen times, one of the more decorated
basketball players in history, and also five time Olympic gold medalist.
Just named USA basketball Women's national team managing Director. That's
a hell of a title. There is that on your
business card? And what exactly does that mean?
Speaker 5 (10:19):
Sue?
Speaker 8 (10:20):
You need like a business start at this point or whatever.
Speaker 9 (10:25):
Managing director, it's basically what Currant Hill did for the
men's team. So like a GM pick the coach, pick
the players and then went some gold medals.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
How do you deal with players lobbying you now or
being your friend or sending you gifts or cards or flowers?
Speaker 8 (10:45):
Oh? If only are that easy?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
No?
Speaker 9 (10:47):
I mean, obviously, I've been in the women's game for
so long, so of course I have friends and relationships.
People I played with against are going to be in
this pool. But that's just where my experience, my perspective,
my understanding of what makes teams great and how to
build that and how people have to compliment each other.
(11:08):
That's where that just comes into play. And that's what's
going to be guiding me. It's not going to be
flowers or gifts.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
Would you put Caitlin Clark on the Olympic.
Speaker 8 (11:16):
Team right now?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
No? No, last this paths to.
Speaker 8 (11:22):
I knew you're gonna ask this question.
Speaker 9 (11:24):
Honestly, I have to just say that I respected the
committee's job. I understood what was that at play. I
understood the pros and the cons. I guess if you
want to lay it out that way, and I think
at the end of the day, it's hard to criticize
a gold medal. A lot of people see the final
game against France, they see, you know, only winning by
(11:44):
a couple of points, and they view that as some
sort of like indicator. But the reality is we've been
having close games at the Olympics for years. I can
I can attest to that. So that wasn't really that new.
Winning a close game like that. That wasn't new. That
didn't have anything to do with the roster.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah, I think it was best for both. And I
said that at the time.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I thought she had played a lot of basketball. I
think she was tired, she needed a break. I didn't
think she earned it, and there were other players who
probably were in front of her who didn't make it
as well. I'm gonna guess she'll probably be on the
next Olympic team.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Just guessing.
Speaker 8 (12:18):
I mean, you know TVD that three years.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
How's your jumper?
Speaker 9 (12:23):
Uh, it's I still got it now. The moving like
side to side, that's a little tougher, but the jumper
is still there.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Do you ever show up at a park and just
start shooting?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
No.
Speaker 9 (12:36):
I have a friend who coaches at a nearby college,
I'll just grab the keys from her. But sometimes I
walk by parks and I.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
You know, I sess, what do you think about your
nixt stealing two games in Boston?
Speaker 6 (12:48):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (12:49):
Gosh, I couldn't be happier. I mean, I think the
Detroit series just set them up for this, like it
gave them something, a mental toughness that I don't You're
not really seeing in a lot of other teams right now.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Would you give up one of your gold medals if
it meant the Knicks we're going to play in the
NBA Finals, No guarantee they would win. Would you give
up a gold medal?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Absolutely not?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
And I love the name you got five of them?
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Come on? If it meant the meal, No?
Speaker 6 (13:19):
No.
Speaker 9 (13:20):
And I feel bad saying that I've been waiting for
this type of run we all have for a really
long time.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (13:27):
I remember my eighth grade graduation.
Speaker 9 (13:29):
I was like, if there were smartphones then I would
have been at my eighth grade graduation watching the finals games.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
You ever worn a gold medal socially?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
No?
Speaker 9 (13:39):
Okay, imagine they'd be like clanging around if you too loud.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
I would do it. I wouldn't wear out.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I mean, imagine Michael Phelps, he went out and had
what's he got like twenty it hurt his back if
he had all.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Twenty eight medals.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
A couple of things. Now, you have a new podcast,
Bird's Eye View, that launches May sixteenth, and also you
do a touch more the podcast every Thursday with Megan Rappino.
Where is the game going if you look at another
country that's developing talent on the women's side, because we
look at France Africa. For the men's side, Australia has
(14:17):
put out some good players. But if you were looking
handicapping five years down the road, the country to keep
an eye on is who.
Speaker 9 (14:26):
I think right now it's France. It's always been Australia.
So that just it feels like that's just like, yes,
there's some highs and lows, some plateaus, but they just
keep it coming. And then yeah, the African Nations Nigeria
has done a tremendous job in the last couple of Olympics.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Some of that is.
Speaker 9 (14:44):
That there's actually Americans that play on those teams, play
on the Nigerian team, play on the French team. Some
of it's that those players are now coming to the
WNBA more as that money increases, I expect that to
increase like tenfold, and that's going to really change things up.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I guess compare and contraanced the coverage when you were
a rookie in the WNBA to what that coverage is
like now.
Speaker 9 (15:07):
You know, Interestingly, when I first got to the WNBA,
it was still it had a little bit of that
high still, like there was a residual high from when
the league first started the excitement, and it really didn't
start to kind of plateau and dip until a year
or two later. So my rookie year, with a couple
of exceptions, there was excitement. There was there was coverage.
(15:28):
There was you know, I I'd get invite to invite
it to different shows or you know, maybe something like
the SP's in a different way, and then it started
to take a little bit of a dip and then
it started to plateau. But no, it was never My
rookie year was never anything like what we're saying now.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
What would be your yukon Women's Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 9 (15:51):
It's pretty easy, actually, Diana, Branda Stewart, Maya Moore and
we'll go Rebecca logo.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
You could say you if you wanted to. I know,
but yeah, well Logo started it right, yep.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
Yeah, anyone gets a statue.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Oh statue?
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Yep?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Okay, does Geno get a statue at Yukon?
Speaker 8 (16:15):
Rebecca gets one first?
Speaker 5 (16:16):
Really?
Speaker 8 (16:17):
Yeah, you know there's only one statue on campus. It's
of Jonathan the Husky Dog. So okay, it's only right.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Does Hurley get a statue or Geno?
Speaker 8 (16:28):
Okay, I'll give it to him.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Okay, what's your favorite Orienta story though that you tell?
Speaker 8 (16:34):
Oh my god, what kind of program is this?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
You can tell me? He used to say to me.
He goes, I have to talk to my wife, you know.
They it's that time of the month, and I'm dealing
with these women and I'm just, like he was saying,
dealing with you guys at practice sometimes And I go, okay,
I never thought of that, you know.
Speaker 9 (16:54):
But but yeah, well you know what they say, like
when when women are around each other a lot, they
start to like sync up in that way.
Speaker 8 (17:00):
He was in on that. He was in on that.
We caught a lot of that attitude.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Also, when did you get to the point where you
could make fun of him?
Speaker 8 (17:07):
Yeah, when you know you can do it.
Speaker 9 (17:11):
He likes it when you're a player, like he wants
you to react in so he's okay with a little.
Speaker 8 (17:17):
He's okay with it.
Speaker 9 (17:18):
I think my favorite story is and I actually just
turned to told this one recently.
Speaker 8 (17:22):
I got his permission. So we're good.
Speaker 9 (17:24):
Okay, We're playing Tennessee, obviously huge rivalry. We don't play
well in the first half. We look scared, nervous all
the things. He comes in at halftime and he holds
up his fingers like like an okay sign, but super tight,
you know, just curls that finger tight, and he says,
do you know what this is? This is all your
(17:44):
butthole right now? And you know that kind of explains it.
The message came across loud and clear.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Uh, congrats on the new title, congrats on the podcast,
and uh, it's great to see you, Thank you again,
Thank you, thanks having me.
Speaker 1 (18:05):

Vince Vaughn actor, producer, director, writer, comedian new Netflix film
Nonas and It'll come out tomorrow on Netflix. So, uh,
he plays a guy who opens up an Italian restaurant
and features local grandmothers. He just lost his mother, and
uh he brings them in. So you got Lorraine Brocco,
(18:37):
Rendo Vicaro, Susan Sarandon, Tallya Shire, they play the nonas,
and you got Vince Vaughan who's running the restaurant. Vince
joins us on the program. How'd you, uh, how'd you
decide on this or come across this idea?
Speaker 5 (18:51):
How you doing?
Speaker 6 (18:52):
Dan?
Speaker 5 (18:52):
Good to be with you?
Speaker 6 (18:53):
You know, I got the script of the director Steven
Schabowski directed that movie Wonder, which I really like. And
when I saw the script and read it and knew
it was based on a true story, I just thought
it was very unique. You know, this guy opens a
restaurant for these older women that have been a little
forgotten or maybe not given as much opportunities to be productive,
(19:14):
and he was mourning the loss of his own family members,
so in a way he was trying to create family connection.
And I thought the story was just very moving. And
then meeting the guy, he was so refreshing because it
was really about giving these known as this opportunity more
than he had a business plan, more than he was
looking to expand it. He was really just sort of
(19:35):
looking to create great nights, great atmospheres in this restaurant.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I'm guessing laughs, but I'm guessing maybe some tears in this.
You're not wrong as always, Patrick, you're right there near
the bullseye.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
Do you cry?
Speaker 6 (19:51):
Yeah, there's definitely some comedy in it. But but it's
it's you know, it's it's it's it's a feel good
I would say, but it definitely deals with with sort
of you know, morning all.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Right, but you know you're gonna provide it'll be lighthearted
as well. I just want to make sure that you know,
I'm prepared for this. I want to go in knowing
kind of what the parameters are. Emotionally.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
Yeah, you know, there's definitely some laughs.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
The actresses are phenomenal, the all the the great actors
that you that you mentioned are terrific, and they all
really shine.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
In the movie.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
And the double's got good chemistry. It's fun the movie.
You know, this director is very good. Did you see
wonder I did not? Yeah, well you got one.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
On the list.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
There's a few, and now you got another one. Okay,
all right, And he's very good.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
He's very good.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I was in a movie with Susan Sarandon.
Speaker 10 (20:40):
That's that's correct. Did you know it's very nice? She's
a lovely lady. Did you a very lovely lady? I
know she is, But did you know I was? I
might say co Stuard, But I was in a movie
with Susan Sarandon?
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Which which which movie?
Speaker 2 (20:53):
That's my boy? Did you see it?
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Is that? Alma Sandler? Yeah, fantastic.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I was so good. You probably didn't know it was me.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
But you dazzled a few times. Well, you're dazzled a
few times. I know.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
How do you? How do friends politely ask you to
be in a movie? Is there an approach?
Speaker 6 (21:18):
I mean I have had that happen to me where
people it's it's challenging, but it depends.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
You know, most people. Sometimes people are.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
Just like looking to get their movie made, and so
they're just sort of like in this mode where they're
kind of just going for I mean, if it's a
very close friend, obviously I'll take it seriously. But if
it's kind of an acquaintance, it's an awkward experience. I'm
sure you get that in versions of that as well.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
I do, and I've tried to reach out to Will Ferrell,
and I don't know how to do it. To say,
I kind of like to be in a movie. So
I basically called him out on radio radio. But I
haven't I've got radio silence here from him. I haven't
heard back from It didn't go well, It did not
go well.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
It didn't go well.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Well, you know what I think it now that it's
out there, can only get better from heal. The healing
is going to start because you've addressed it well.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
He did say that I belonged to Sandler, and I said, look,
I'm willing to see other feelings. I'm willing to see
other people, you know, behind Sandler's back.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
That's hurt feelings he was carrying in his own conversation
you weren't aware of, and that makes sense. Then maybe
he felt maybe he felt a little shortened. So I
think sunlight is always a great remedy. So I don't
think there's anything bad that can come out of this
conversation between two friends. And I wouldn't be shocked to
see you and him doing something and maybe Adam in
it as well.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
Well.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I did say to Sandler, a you know, maybe get
Will Ferrell in a movie then therefore I can then
be around Will again and then I can pitch something.
But you know, maybe maybe maybe there's a sequel there
to one of the movies that he was in. And
I keep hearing that you.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Have a hat trick, you have the hat trick of
the three of.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
You that would beat Yeah, yeah, Dodgeball two. Rumblings, there's
been rumbling.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
I think there's a script that's actually, you know, an
idea that's pretty good.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
So you know, you're always with all these ones.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
There's always the want, but you really want this story
to stand on its own. But I do think the
Dodgeball one's a pretty good idea. I just did a
movie for Fox called Mike Nick Nick and Alisk with
Marsden with James Marson, which is a kind of an
action comedy, and so you never know, maybe, well why
do Bad Monkey. I'm gonna do a Bad Monkey next
(23:32):
here starting in September the second season of the Apple Show,
so it'll be a little ways away if it's something
that materializes us.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
I like the character in Bad Monkey. Yeah, it's a fun.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
Bill Lawrence is great, as you know, I love Bill
and that was fun, good, good group.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Talking to Vince Vaughan the new Netflix film it's known
as And It comes out tomorrow, where Vince plays the
owner of an Italian restaurant and he's lost his mother,
so he brings in local grandmothers and Lorraine Brocco, Renda Viccarro,
Susan Sarandon, and Talia Shire. How's your sports teams in Chicago?
Speaker 6 (24:08):
What do you think of this draft? It's it's unknowing
at this point, right. Did you like the did you
like the tight end?
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Did you like? Yeah? Lovedlin that there in the first
you did, Yeah, yeah, the Curgain.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I thought that he was good. And uh, I thought
the Bears were going to be a playoff team last year.
So I'm gonna double down and say they're going to
be a playoff team this year.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
You know, as they when you look at it, they
lost a handful of games, all in heartbreak style. And
I got to share Dan, it's been a tough recruit
to get my son on board because handles. So we
there was a there was a pivotal moment in this
experiment where we were watching the Redskins game and the
Bears were obviously winning, with the game looking like it
(24:53):
was in hand and some desperation. And when Matt Tiff
happened and the Redskins caught the ball, you had a
You had a ten year old boy go straight to
his room. He was upset and he stayed there. So
I figured, well, how do I handle this. I'll let
him kind of write it out, so I would say good.
Thirty five forty minutes he came down and he had
gathered his emotions and his thoughts and he was prepared.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
He had a statement to say, he had something to share,
and he said, I can't trust this team. That's what
he said to me. I cannot trust this team.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
I said, well, you're not wrong right now, I said,
but you know, it hasn't been a great run as
of late. But I said it'll be. That makes it,
you know, all the better when they get there. But
it's been a challenging recruiting process.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Yeah, but can he bail on the Bears? Would you
allow him?
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Yeah? I would, I would.
Speaker 6 (25:41):
I mean he does root for a lot of the
Los Angeles teams, but he does room for the Bears.
But I think that's right. You got to let them
have their own experience. So you know what happened. I
don't know if you experienced this. Sometimes they like to
root against if you're rooting for a team, they enjoy
going for the opposite team, even with no connection to
the team whatsoever, just to be contrary.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
And did you ever have that with your kids?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
I let them pick if they wanted it. And my
son became a Boston Red Sox fan and a Green
Bay Packer fan. And I didn't guide him. In fact,
he came home, he was really young, and he said,
I've decided on my baseball team because we live in
an area where you're where you're a Yankee fan or
a Red Sox fan. So he says, I've decided on
(26:25):
my team, and you know, made a proclamation to the family,
and I go, okay, what's it going to be? He
goes Red Sox. I go okay. I go out and
buy him some gear. Get him a hat, that's great,
get him a jacket. He wears the hat to school
and the Yankee fans grabbed it, put it in the
urinal and pete on it.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
Yeah. Oh, dear, Well he learned about commitment, didn't he.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Well, my wife goes, it wasn't an easy.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Choice given the location. You've got to respect kid.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
My my wife couldn't understand it. I said, no, Hunt,
now you understand the rivalry, and yeah, so you know
it was all that tea team.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
All that New York Boston rivalry take place after the
basketball game last night?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Right, Oh my god, wild crazy? But do you go
to many like if you go to New York or
you go to the Lakers. Do you go to Knicks
games or Laker games?
Speaker 5 (27:17):
I have? I went to a Lakers game this year.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
I like what Rob Plink has done with the team,
and I like to go to the Garden. Who doesn't?
So yes, I've gone to both. But I was back
and forth working quite a bit this last year.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
But I do.
Speaker 6 (27:34):
I do enjoy going to uh, I go to any
I really like going to different stadiums and going to
see different teams.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
And you have the time. I enjoy going. Where's your
favorite place to watch a game any sport? Home? Oh?
You prefer being home? You don't like it, you can't
deal with the crowds. Yeah, I get it, you like
the replay.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
I just it's just easier for me to do my
job because I don't have the fan experience anymore.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
I don't root.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Therefore, The best place for me to watch a game
and still do my job is home.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
No, I get that, especially as one Yeah, I understand.
Is there a storyline or a team or a fan
recently that's kind of won you over and made you
a fan or that you were rooting to do well
just because you enjoyed the storyline.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
I think the Lions. I enjoy that storyline. It's sort
of the football equivalent of the Cubs, and I think
that's the next great story. But as you know, it's
all about the story. You can have everything in place.
But you know, Spike Lee once said to me, in fact,
this was when the Red Sox came back and beat
the Yankees. He said, this is what I love about sports.
(28:45):
It's unscripted. Like you can't script certain sporting events. It
just happens, and that's what makes it so magical.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
Well, that's one hundred percent right.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
You have all the emotions and desires and it plays
out in that moment. My live sports is still know
the calling for everyone to gather. It's still very cultural
and I agree with that. And you know, as a
Bears fan, I've been happy to see the Lions do well.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
You know, the gamble to coach.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
And obviously the story with golf has been great and
that whole team. It was surprising the way it ended
this year. I was not expecting that.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
If so, you were probably thirteen or fourteen when the
Bears won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
I was yeah, okay, yeah, okay, so you're you're delivered
that you have got Billy Simms.
Speaker 6 (29:34):
Highlight by the way, one of the great highlights with
him running on the face mask of defenders.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
He jumped him right, Yeah, remember Billy Simms.
Speaker 6 (29:42):
They would always cut to him and he sort of
got traction and sort of ran over. I think a
couple of players like literally ran on top of him.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
It's an odd reference, but I was a big Billy
Simms fan. But you're a little older than what your
son is now. He just needs to capture that magic
that you had to make.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
With all of this.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
The tragedy was when the Cubs won, which as you know,
was like no one could believe it one hundred years.
So I had taken them. I had taken them back
to Chicago for the World Series. I was I sang
at the seventh inning stretch for one of the games.
So I brought both of my kids, and it was not.
The impact on them was not what one would expect.
You know, they had no reference point, they had no suffering,
(30:26):
and so it was like, come the sixth inning, it
could have been any game.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
They were very young, they were very tired. My idea
of what my idea of what this experience would be
like did not translate in the moment. Did you try?
Speaker 6 (30:40):
So they got that, and they got a little spoiled
with the Blackhawks because they definitely won some Cups when
they were young, so you know.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
But yeah, they like they do like the we'll go
to some Kings game. They route for the.
Speaker 6 (30:52):
Kings too, They like, uh he roots for the local
teams and my daughter they they're root for the Rams
or the Chargers. So they and I haven't had that.
It's like you got that that letter of declaration for
like a college to declare, we haven't got I haven't
gotten one singular one yet.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Did you cry when the Cubs won?
Speaker 6 (31:12):
You know what I saw and I was with a
bunch of people, and it was a strange feeling. I
don't know that if I cried, but it was more
of a somber release than it was a jumping for joy.
It was a you couldn't believe it, you know, especially
given what we just had gone through. You know, the
last time we were close with you know, the whole
(31:35):
thing with the fan reaching for the ball.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
It was like you just couldn't.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Now that you're in game seven, you were just waiting
and the and the you know, the tragedy of that.
My dad's from Ohio, and the tragedy of that is
the one team you beat is the is the Indians,
who are the other team that you would you would
want to see get past that ballment. So it made
it even you know, if you would have beaten the
perennial powerhouse that always won. And don't get me wrong,
(32:00):
I was thrilled that we won, but in being a
Cubs fan and suffering for so long, it wasn't lost
on me that we were beating another team with a
similar legacy.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
You would have preferred the Yankees.
Speaker 6 (32:15):
I can't say it was perfect the way it happened,
but it would have been easier. I think it was
just strange, isn't it. I Mean, here's the you know, Cleveland,
which you know obviously it's just a crazy like someone's
going to break a streak. So it was it was
just a weird peering and now it's game seven. So yeah,
it was definitely more of a sigh of relief.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
Was I thrilled? Absolutely?
Speaker 6 (32:38):
But you're right it was more that than I was,
you know, kind of high fiving. It was definitely, you know,
more of a release than it was just to you know,
jump up and down.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Will I being known as two.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
Interested on as too? And your dance card is available
And as long as Adam knows about it, I think
it's gotta we share it with him than not. And
I would say that if this was the old magic
eight ball, it says chances.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Are good there's breaking news. If there isn't known as two,
I will be in it.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (33:16):
If there's a hous too, we'll definitely have you in it.
You could come to the restaurant and enjoy something. I
see that happening.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Okay, I like that, and now I don't and.
Speaker 6 (33:26):
I like that, and the other gentleman should know that
that's a healthy That's how you do it. You don't
bring baggage, you don't bring hurt. This is how this
is how gentlemen move forward with with with class.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Yeah, we're just grown ups. That's all this is.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
I'm That's all it is.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Yeah, it's quid pro quote. I help you, you help me,
or buddies, let's have front fun, break bread, I'll reunite.
You want to surrender, but you do it? Yeah, absolutely,
good luck with it. Great to talk to you again, Vince,
Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 5 (33:59):
Always great to talk to you. Dan, be well, Vince
Vaughn
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Let's bring in Cornbread Maxwell, Celtics radio analyst and former
MVP in the nineteen eighty one NBA Finals. All right, Cedric,
how do you explain that Celtics are down two to
OHO and heading to New York on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Didn't shoot the ball?
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Will It was very simple, and didn't execute early in
the basketball game. The first two games they shot the ball, well,
they executed, and then they got executed in those second halfs.
They didn't play with any ferocity, they didn't play any defense,
and the Knicks just the Knicks deserved the win. And
(00:43):
then then I thought I had I thought people were
noxious in LA. When I thought about the Laker fans,
they got nothing. On the Nick fans, they got nothing.
I have gone to another height of hatred.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Now, Oh my.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
God, oh boy, wait till Saturday night, Wait till.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Wait till they lose Saturday.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
That's now a lot of analysts. You got a lot
of experts saying the Celtics need to change. You're not
making threes, go inside, get to the free throw line.
Can they change? And do you buy into that offensive
philosophy when you're not shooting well from three point range
to change it up.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Well, Dan, you know I was. I was old schooled.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
So we played in the paint with BERR McHale Parish,
those guys, we played in the paint.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
But I'll put it this way.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
When you went to the prom and you with your
pretty girlfriend, did you change and see another girl and
you went home with the other one. No, you stayed
the course and you did what you normally do. You
stayed with And Joe Miszoula believes that his team is
going to shoot better.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
They can't shoot.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
As poorly as they have in the lad in these
two halves and lose a basketball game.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Again, Is Jason Tatum in your mind a top five player?
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Yes, yes, And uh then I'll asked you one of
these questions. We'll talk about one of the greatest power
for US of all time, Kevin McHale. The all main
points he averaged in the championship game against championship series
against the Houston Rockets in nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Can you take a.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Guess ten points four four points. So what I'm saying
by that is the others have to do better. You
got to get if Tatum isn't shooting the ball well,
Brown has to step up. The year that Larry Bird
had in nineteen eighty one, he averaged thirteen points, fifteen
(02:40):
points can but he averaged fifteen rebounds. So other people
have to do other things to step up and make
it easier for Tatom when he's not shooting the ball well.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
So okay, let's run down the list here if he's
in the top five. So Joker sga, Yes, do you
put Luca top five?
Speaker 6 (03:01):
No?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Uh huh No, Anthony.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Edwards, I wouldn't put him before Tatum, Jannish up and down.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
I think I think he had a better I think
Jason Tatum had a better year than Yannis. So I
mean there's no I mean you if you go then
there's no clear cut. So yeah, so you can't tell,
all right, you said Jannis over Tatum?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Where else you going with that?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I probably still put Luca there.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
I wouldn't put Luca there. No, No, Luca doesn't. Luca
doesn't play enough defense. And this is why I have
to believe in the great Kendrick Perkins. He said, Luca
might be the best superstar non defensive player in the
history of basketball. He can score your points, but he
gives them up in bunches, So I can't go that way.
I love his greatness on the offensive being, but not
(03:54):
on the defensive end.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
But you know what we pick and choose with that,
because did any body ever go man Magic Johnson what
a defender? No one ever said anything about Magic's defense.
Bird was not a good defender, Barkley said, as long
as Larry's on the floor, there's always somebody who's worse
on defense than him.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Well, let me say this there, Dan, do you know
that Larry Bird made all defensive teams several times?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Yeah, but because he came up with steles, he played
the passing lanes, he couldn't guard. He wasn't guarding. You
come on, you probably torched him in practice.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
So we're talking. You're talking about guys who were great
on both ends of the floor. And this is what
I love about Tatum. Tatum is Tatum has been a
hell of a defender and he's also been a great rebound.
What he didn't do in these last couple of games,
he didn't shoot the ball will and normally Jalen Brown
is able to pick him up or for zingis. But
(04:51):
whatever this is is.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Going on with Porzingis hasn't really really let it happen.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
The Knicks haven't played great though. I think he you know,
everybody keeps focusing on Boston hasn't played their game. The
Knicks haven't played great. I mean, to be down by
twenty points in two consecutive games. I think they just
they they have patients, and they're kind of like the
puncher who's gonna take three punches and give you one
in return.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
That that might be true. And I think the thing
is Josh Hard has played extremely well. He's been the
key to what he had twenty three points. You're gonna
say you're gonna get something from carlonn Anthney Towns, You're
gonna have to give up something from Brunson. But when
you have him scoring away and then Bridges, who really
has disappeared all the Knicks were complaining about, oh, we
gave these draft choices.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
He showed up last night and scored the basketball.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
So in different ways, the Knicks have played very effective
basketball in the second half, but also in the second
halves of these games, the Celticants have collapsed.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
All right, what has to happen on Saturday? Night, right
out of the game.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Right out, they gave be aggressive ballot.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Are we shooting trees?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
You're still gonna shoot threes.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
You're still gonna shoot.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
You're still gonna shoot the threes, but you're gonna be
a little bit more aggressive about taking the ball to
the paint. One thing the Celtics did extremely well was
when you saw Drew Holliday take Brunton in the paint
and score on him repeatedly. That's one of the keys
that you have to do to occupy a great score.
What you have to do is attack him on as
deep as a band.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
You I think made one three pointer in your career, Yes,
I did you remember that one?
Speaker 3 (06:30):
I do.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
It was in Houston and in that game only four
three pointers were were.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Taken in that particular game.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
So so as you like to say, what's your point there,
what's your point?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I love you your If bird played, now, how many
three pointers is he allowed to take?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Fourteen?
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Fifteen?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
And I talked to a guy who was like that
in twine Walker. Every time he lined up and take
a three when he's with the self. Early in his career,
people saw a board him. I talked to him about
a couple of weeks ago. He said, Man, they would
have cheered me for what I'm doing right now, taking three.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
So the game has changed. Steph Curry did one thing.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
He changed the game and the way almost no other
player has done making the three pointer.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I talked to his dad and I.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Asked his dad. I said, your son has destroyed the
game the way I loved it. He said, yeah, there
are a lot of three point takers, but there are
a lot of three point makers.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, there are guys who shoot threes. There are guys
who make threes. There's a big difference in that everybody
thinks they can make a three.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Damn.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
When you go to any local gym or you go outside,
the first thing a guy does.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
He couldn't.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
He couldn't hit it inside. The first thing he does
is lined up and try to take a three. So
people have been programmed now that the game has changed.
It is during the time I played when they played
the Rockets in nineteen eighty one, the championship series that
were like in this championship game, I think there were
five threes attempt it for the entire game.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Now five threes are attempted in the first.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Two minutes have fun in New York. Be prepared. They're
waiting for you.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
I cannot wait, Dan, I thought I hated the Laker fans,
but man, they've gone down the pig right now.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Next suck So.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Saying, why don't you wear your old Celtics jersey to
the game.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Because I'm old school? Damn? What do I need? You
want to beat up a seventy year old man with
you were born in nineteen fifty six. Yeah, I was
born in nineteen fifty five. Come on, give me a break.

Sue Bird won four WNBA champion and chips. She was
an All Star thirteen times, one of the more decorated
basketball players in history, and also five time Olympic gold medalist.
Just named USA basketball Women's national team managing Director. That's
a hell of a title. There is that on your
business card? And what exactly does that mean?
Speaker 5 (10:19):
Sue?
Speaker 8 (10:20):
You need like a business start at this point or whatever.
Speaker 9 (10:25):
Managing director, it's basically what Currant Hill did for the
men's team. So like a GM pick the coach, pick
the players and then went some gold medals.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
How do you deal with players lobbying you now or
being your friend or sending you gifts or cards or flowers?
Speaker 8 (10:45):
Oh? If only are that easy?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
No?
Speaker 9 (10:47):
I mean, obviously, I've been in the women's game for
so long, so of course I have friends and relationships.
People I played with against are going to be in
this pool. But that's just where my experience, my perspective,
my understanding of what makes teams great and how to
build that and how people have to compliment each other.
(11:08):
That's where that just comes into play. And that's what's
going to be guiding me. It's not going to be
flowers or gifts.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
Would you put Caitlin Clark on the Olympic.
Speaker 8 (11:16):
Team right now?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
No? No, last this paths to.
Speaker 8 (11:22):
I knew you're gonna ask this question.
Speaker 9 (11:24):
Honestly, I have to just say that I respected the
committee's job. I understood what was that at play. I
understood the pros and the cons. I guess if you
want to lay it out that way, and I think
at the end of the day, it's hard to criticize
a gold medal. A lot of people see the final
game against France, they see, you know, only winning by
(11:44):
a couple of points, and they view that as some
sort of like indicator. But the reality is we've been
having close games at the Olympics for years. I can
I can attest to that. So that wasn't really that new.
Winning a close game like that. That wasn't new. That
didn't have anything to do with the roster.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah, I think it was best for both. And I
said that at the time.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I thought she had played a lot of basketball. I
think she was tired, she needed a break. I didn't
think she earned it, and there were other players who
probably were in front of her who didn't make it
as well. I'm gonna guess she'll probably be on the
next Olympic team.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Just guessing.
Speaker 8 (12:18):
I mean, you know TVD that three years.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
How's your jumper?
Speaker 9 (12:23):
Uh, it's I still got it now. The moving like
side to side, that's a little tougher, but the jumper
is still there.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Do you ever show up at a park and just
start shooting?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
No.
Speaker 9 (12:36):
I have a friend who coaches at a nearby college,
I'll just grab the keys from her. But sometimes I
walk by parks and I.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
You know, I sess, what do you think about your
nixt stealing two games in Boston?
Speaker 6 (12:48):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (12:49):
Gosh, I couldn't be happier. I mean, I think the
Detroit series just set them up for this, like it
gave them something, a mental toughness that I don't You're
not really seeing in a lot of other teams right now.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Would you give up one of your gold medals if
it meant the Knicks we're going to play in the
NBA Finals, No guarantee they would win. Would you give
up a gold medal?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Absolutely not?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
And I love the name you got five of them?
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Come on? If it meant the meal, No?
Speaker 6 (13:19):
No.
Speaker 9 (13:20):
And I feel bad saying that I've been waiting for
this type of run we all have for a really
long time.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (13:27):
I remember my eighth grade graduation.
Speaker 9 (13:29):
I was like, if there were smartphones then I would
have been at my eighth grade graduation watching the finals games.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
You ever worn a gold medal socially?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
No?
Speaker 9 (13:39):
Okay, imagine they'd be like clanging around if you too loud.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
I would do it. I wouldn't wear out.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I mean, imagine Michael Phelps, he went out and had
what's he got like twenty it hurt his back if
he had all.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Twenty eight medals.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
A couple of things. Now, you have a new podcast,
Bird's Eye View, that launches May sixteenth, and also you
do a touch more the podcast every Thursday with Megan Rappino.
Where is the game going if you look at another
country that's developing talent on the women's side, because we
look at France Africa. For the men's side, Australia has
(14:17):
put out some good players. But if you were looking
handicapping five years down the road, the country to keep
an eye on is who.
Speaker 9 (14:26):
I think right now it's France. It's always been Australia.
So that just it feels like that's just like, yes,
there's some highs and lows, some plateaus, but they just
keep it coming. And then yeah, the African Nations Nigeria
has done a tremendous job in the last couple of Olympics.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Some of that is.
Speaker 9 (14:44):
That there's actually Americans that play on those teams, play
on the Nigerian team, play on the French team. Some
of it's that those players are now coming to the
WNBA more as that money increases, I expect that to
increase like tenfold, and that's going to really change things up.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I guess compare and contraanced the coverage when you were
a rookie in the WNBA to what that coverage is
like now.
Speaker 9 (15:07):
You know, Interestingly, when I first got to the WNBA,
it was still it had a little bit of that
high still, like there was a residual high from when
the league first started the excitement, and it really didn't
start to kind of plateau and dip until a year
or two later. So my rookie year, with a couple
of exceptions, there was excitement. There was there was coverage.
(15:28):
There was you know, I I'd get invite to invite
it to different shows or you know, maybe something like
the SP's in a different way, and then it started
to take a little bit of a dip and then
it started to plateau. But no, it was never My
rookie year was never anything like what we're saying now.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
What would be your yukon Women's Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 9 (15:51):
It's pretty easy, actually, Diana, Branda Stewart, Maya Moore and
we'll go Rebecca logo.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
You could say you if you wanted to. I know,
but yeah, well Logo started it right, yep.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
Yeah, anyone gets a statue.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Oh statue?
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Yep?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Okay, does Geno get a statue at Yukon?
Speaker 8 (16:15):
Rebecca gets one first?
Speaker 5 (16:16):
Really?
Speaker 8 (16:17):
Yeah, you know there's only one statue on campus. It's
of Jonathan the Husky Dog. So okay, it's only right.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Does Hurley get a statue or Geno?
Speaker 8 (16:28):
Okay, I'll give it to him.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Okay, what's your favorite Orienta story though that you tell?
Speaker 8 (16:34):
Oh my god, what kind of program is this?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
You can tell me? He used to say to me.
He goes, I have to talk to my wife, you know.
They it's that time of the month, and I'm dealing
with these women and I'm just, like he was saying,
dealing with you guys at practice sometimes And I go, okay,
I never thought of that, you know.
Speaker 9 (16:54):
But but yeah, well you know what they say, like
when when women are around each other a lot, they
start to like sync up in that way.
Speaker 8 (17:00):
He was in on that. He was in on that.
We caught a lot of that attitude.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Also, when did you get to the point where you
could make fun of him?
Speaker 8 (17:07):
Yeah, when you know you can do it.
Speaker 9 (17:11):
He likes it when you're a player, like he wants
you to react in so he's okay with a little.
Speaker 8 (17:17):
He's okay with it.
Speaker 9 (17:18):
I think my favorite story is and I actually just
turned to told this one recently.
Speaker 8 (17:22):
I got his permission. So we're good.
Speaker 9 (17:24):
Okay, We're playing Tennessee, obviously huge rivalry. We don't play
well in the first half. We look scared, nervous all
the things. He comes in at halftime and he holds
up his fingers like like an okay sign, but super tight,
you know, just curls that finger tight, and he says,
do you know what this is? This is all your
(17:44):
butthole right now? And you know that kind of explains it.
The message came across loud and clear.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Uh, congrats on the new title, congrats on the podcast,
and uh, it's great to see you, Thank you again,
Thank you, thanks having me.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
That's a super Be sure to catch the live edition
of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern
six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio

Speaker 2 (18:16):
Vince Vaughn actor, producer, director, writer, comedian new Netflix film
Nonas and It'll come out tomorrow on Netflix. So, uh,
he plays a guy who opens up an Italian restaurant
and features local grandmothers. He just lost his mother, and
uh he brings them in. So you got Lorraine Brocco,
(18:37):
Rendo Vicaro, Susan Sarandon, Tallya Shire, they play the nonas,
and you got Vince Vaughan who's running the restaurant. Vince
joins us on the program. How'd you, uh, how'd you
decide on this or come across this idea?
Speaker 5 (18:51):
How you doing?
Speaker 6 (18:52):
Dan?
Speaker 5 (18:52):
Good to be with you?
Speaker 6 (18:53):
You know, I got the script of the director Steven
Schabowski directed that movie Wonder, which I really like. And
when I saw the script and read it and knew
it was based on a true story, I just thought
it was very unique. You know, this guy opens a
restaurant for these older women that have been a little
forgotten or maybe not given as much opportunities to be productive,
(19:14):
and he was mourning the loss of his own family members,
so in a way he was trying to create family connection.
And I thought the story was just very moving. And
then meeting the guy, he was so refreshing because it
was really about giving these known as this opportunity more
than he had a business plan, more than he was
looking to expand it. He was really just sort of
(19:35):
looking to create great nights, great atmospheres in this restaurant.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I'm guessing laughs, but I'm guessing maybe some tears in this.
You're not wrong as always, Patrick, you're right there near
the bullseye.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
Do you cry?
Speaker 6 (19:51):
Yeah, there's definitely some comedy in it. But but it's
it's you know, it's it's it's it's a feel good
I would say, but it definitely deals with with sort
of you know, morning all.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Right, but you know you're gonna provide it'll be lighthearted
as well. I just want to make sure that you know,
I'm prepared for this. I want to go in knowing
kind of what the parameters are. Emotionally.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
Yeah, you know, there's definitely some laughs.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
The actresses are phenomenal, the all the the great actors
that you that you mentioned are terrific, and they all
really shine.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
In the movie.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
And the double's got good chemistry. It's fun the movie.
You know, this director is very good. Did you see
wonder I did not? Yeah, well you got one.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
On the list.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
There's a few, and now you got another one. Okay,
all right, And he's very good.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
He's very good.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I was in a movie with Susan Sarandon.
Speaker 10 (20:40):
That's that's correct. Did you know it's very nice? She's
a lovely lady. Did you a very lovely lady? I
know she is, But did you know I was? I
might say co Stuard, But I was in a movie
with Susan Sarandon?
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Which which which movie?
Speaker 2 (20:53):
That's my boy? Did you see it?
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Is that? Alma Sandler? Yeah, fantastic.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I was so good. You probably didn't know it was me.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
But you dazzled a few times. Well, you're dazzled a
few times. I know.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
How do you? How do friends politely ask you to
be in a movie? Is there an approach?
Speaker 6 (21:18):
I mean I have had that happen to me where
people it's it's challenging, but it depends.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
You know, most people. Sometimes people are.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
Just like looking to get their movie made, and so
they're just sort of like in this mode where they're
kind of just going for I mean, if it's a
very close friend, obviously I'll take it seriously. But if
it's kind of an acquaintance, it's an awkward experience. I'm
sure you get that in versions of that as well.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
I do, and I've tried to reach out to Will Ferrell,
and I don't know how to do it. To say,
I kind of like to be in a movie. So
I basically called him out on radio radio. But I
haven't I've got radio silence here from him. I haven't
heard back from It didn't go well, It did not
go well.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
It didn't go well.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Well, you know what I think it now that it's
out there, can only get better from heal. The healing
is going to start because you've addressed it well.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
He did say that I belonged to Sandler, and I said, look,
I'm willing to see other feelings. I'm willing to see
other people, you know, behind Sandler's back.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
That's hurt feelings he was carrying in his own conversation
you weren't aware of, and that makes sense. Then maybe
he felt maybe he felt a little shortened. So I
think sunlight is always a great remedy. So I don't
think there's anything bad that can come out of this
conversation between two friends. And I wouldn't be shocked to
see you and him doing something and maybe Adam in
it as well.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
Well.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I did say to Sandler, a you know, maybe get
Will Ferrell in a movie then therefore I can then
be around Will again and then I can pitch something.
But you know, maybe maybe maybe there's a sequel there
to one of the movies that he was in. And
I keep hearing that you.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Have a hat trick, you have the hat trick of
the three of.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
You that would beat Yeah, yeah, Dodgeball two. Rumblings, there's
been rumbling.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
I think there's a script that's actually, you know, an
idea that's pretty good.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
So you know, you're always with all these ones.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
There's always the want, but you really want this story
to stand on its own. But I do think the
Dodgeball one's a pretty good idea. I just did a
movie for Fox called Mike Nick Nick and Alisk with
Marsden with James Marson, which is a kind of an
action comedy, and so you never know, maybe, well why
do Bad Monkey. I'm gonna do a Bad Monkey next
(23:32):
here starting in September the second season of the Apple Show,
so it'll be a little ways away if it's something
that materializes us.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
I like the character in Bad Monkey. Yeah, it's a fun.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
Bill Lawrence is great, as you know, I love Bill
and that was fun, good, good group.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Talking to Vince Vaughan the new Netflix film it's known
as And It comes out tomorrow, where Vince plays the
owner of an Italian restaurant and he's lost his mother,
so he brings in local grandmothers and Lorraine Brocco, Renda Viccarro,
Susan Sarandon, and Talia Shire. How's your sports teams in Chicago?
Speaker 6 (24:08):
What do you think of this draft? It's it's unknowing
at this point, right. Did you like the did you
like the tight end?
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Did you like? Yeah? Lovedlin that there in the first
you did, Yeah, yeah, the Curgain.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I thought that he was good. And uh, I thought
the Bears were going to be a playoff team last year.
So I'm gonna double down and say they're going to
be a playoff team this year.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
You know, as they when you look at it, they
lost a handful of games, all in heartbreak style. And
I got to share Dan, it's been a tough recruit
to get my son on board because handles. So we
there was a there was a pivotal moment in this
experiment where we were watching the Redskins game and the
Bears were obviously winning, with the game looking like it
(24:53):
was in hand and some desperation. And when Matt Tiff
happened and the Redskins caught the ball, you had a
You had a ten year old boy go straight to
his room. He was upset and he stayed there. So
I figured, well, how do I handle this. I'll let
him kind of write it out, so I would say good.
Thirty five forty minutes he came down and he had
gathered his emotions and his thoughts and he was prepared.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
He had a statement to say, he had something to share,
and he said, I can't trust this team. That's what
he said to me. I cannot trust this team.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
I said, well, you're not wrong right now, I said,
but you know, it hasn't been a great run as
of late. But I said it'll be. That makes it,
you know, all the better when they get there. But
it's been a challenging recruiting process.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Yeah, but can he bail on the Bears? Would you
allow him?
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Yeah? I would, I would.
Speaker 6 (25:41):
I mean he does root for a lot of the
Los Angeles teams, but he does room for the Bears.
But I think that's right. You got to let them
have their own experience. So you know what happened. I
don't know if you experienced this. Sometimes they like to
root against if you're rooting for a team, they enjoy
going for the opposite team, even with no connection to
the team whatsoever, just to be contrary.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
And did you ever have that with your kids?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
I let them pick if they wanted it. And my
son became a Boston Red Sox fan and a Green
Bay Packer fan. And I didn't guide him. In fact,
he came home, he was really young, and he said,
I've decided on my baseball team because we live in
an area where you're where you're a Yankee fan or
a Red Sox fan. So he says, I've decided on
(26:25):
my team, and you know, made a proclamation to the family,
and I go, okay, what's it going to be? He
goes Red Sox. I go okay. I go out and
buy him some gear. Get him a hat, that's great,
get him a jacket. He wears the hat to school
and the Yankee fans grabbed it, put it in the
urinal and pete on it.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
Yeah. Oh, dear, Well he learned about commitment, didn't he.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Well, my wife goes, it wasn't an easy.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Choice given the location. You've got to respect kid.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
My my wife couldn't understand it. I said, no, Hunt,
now you understand the rivalry, and yeah, so you know
it was all that tea team.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
All that New York Boston rivalry take place after the
basketball game last night?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Right, Oh my god, wild crazy? But do you go
to many like if you go to New York or
you go to the Lakers. Do you go to Knicks
games or Laker games?
Speaker 5 (27:17):
I have? I went to a Lakers game this year.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
I like what Rob Plink has done with the team,
and I like to go to the Garden. Who doesn't?
So yes, I've gone to both. But I was back
and forth working quite a bit this last year.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
But I do.
Speaker 6 (27:34):
I do enjoy going to uh, I go to any
I really like going to different stadiums and going to
see different teams.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
And you have the time. I enjoy going. Where's your
favorite place to watch a game any sport? Home? Oh?
You prefer being home? You don't like it, you can't
deal with the crowds. Yeah, I get it, you like
the replay.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
I just it's just easier for me to do my
job because I don't have the fan experience anymore.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
I don't root.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Therefore, The best place for me to watch a game
and still do my job is home.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
No, I get that, especially as one Yeah, I understand.
Is there a storyline or a team or a fan
recently that's kind of won you over and made you
a fan or that you were rooting to do well
just because you enjoyed the storyline.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
I think the Lions. I enjoy that storyline. It's sort
of the football equivalent of the Cubs, and I think
that's the next great story. But as you know, it's
all about the story. You can have everything in place.
But you know, Spike Lee once said to me, in fact,
this was when the Red Sox came back and beat
the Yankees. He said, this is what I love about sports.
(28:45):
It's unscripted. Like you can't script certain sporting events. It
just happens, and that's what makes it so magical.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
Well, that's one hundred percent right.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
You have all the emotions and desires and it plays
out in that moment. My live sports is still know
the calling for everyone to gather. It's still very cultural
and I agree with that. And you know, as a
Bears fan, I've been happy to see the Lions do well.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
You know, the gamble to coach.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
And obviously the story with golf has been great and
that whole team. It was surprising the way it ended
this year. I was not expecting that.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
If so, you were probably thirteen or fourteen when the
Bears won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
I was yeah, okay, yeah, okay, so you're you're delivered
that you have got Billy Simms.
Speaker 6 (29:34):
Highlight by the way, one of the great highlights with
him running on the face mask of defenders.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
He jumped him right, Yeah, remember Billy Simms.
Speaker 6 (29:42):
They would always cut to him and he sort of
got traction and sort of ran over. I think a
couple of players like literally ran on top of him.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
It's an odd reference, but I was a big Billy
Simms fan. But you're a little older than what your
son is now. He just needs to capture that magic
that you had to make.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
With all of this.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
The tragedy was when the Cubs won, which as you know,
was like no one could believe it one hundred years.
So I had taken them. I had taken them back
to Chicago for the World Series. I was I sang
at the seventh inning stretch for one of the games.
So I brought both of my kids, and it was not.
The impact on them was not what one would expect.
You know, they had no reference point, they had no suffering,
(30:26):
and so it was like, come the sixth inning, it
could have been any game.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
They were very young, they were very tired. My idea
of what my idea of what this experience would be
like did not translate in the moment. Did you try?
Speaker 6 (30:40):
So they got that, and they got a little spoiled
with the Blackhawks because they definitely won some Cups when
they were young, so you know.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
But yeah, they like they do like the we'll go
to some Kings game. They route for the.
Speaker 6 (30:52):
Kings too, They like, uh he roots for the local
teams and my daughter they they're root for the Rams
or the Chargers. So they and I haven't had that.
It's like you got that that letter of declaration for
like a college to declare, we haven't got I haven't
gotten one singular one yet.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Did you cry when the Cubs won?
Speaker 6 (31:12):
You know what I saw and I was with a
bunch of people, and it was a strange feeling. I
don't know that if I cried, but it was more
of a somber release than it was a jumping for joy.
It was a you couldn't believe it, you know, especially
given what we just had gone through. You know, the
last time we were close with you know, the whole
(31:35):
thing with the fan reaching for the ball.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
It was like you just couldn't.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Now that you're in game seven, you were just waiting
and the and the you know, the tragedy of that.
My dad's from Ohio, and the tragedy of that is
the one team you beat is the is the Indians,
who are the other team that you would you would
want to see get past that ballment. So it made
it even you know, if you would have beaten the
perennial powerhouse that always won. And don't get me wrong,
(32:00):
I was thrilled that we won, but in being a
Cubs fan and suffering for so long, it wasn't lost
on me that we were beating another team with a
similar legacy.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
You would have preferred the Yankees.
Speaker 6 (32:15):
I can't say it was perfect the way it happened,
but it would have been easier. I think it was
just strange, isn't it. I Mean, here's the you know, Cleveland,
which you know obviously it's just a crazy like someone's
going to break a streak. So it was it was
just a weird peering and now it's game seven. So yeah,
it was definitely more of a sigh of relief.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
Was I thrilled? Absolutely?
Speaker 6 (32:38):
But you're right it was more that than I was,
you know, kind of high fiving. It was definitely, you know,
more of a release than it was just to you know,
jump up and down.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Will I being known as two.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
Interested on as too? And your dance card is available
And as long as Adam knows about it, I think
it's gotta we share it with him than not. And
I would say that if this was the old magic
eight ball, it says chances.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Are good there's breaking news. If there isn't known as two,
I will be in it.
Speaker 5 (33:16):

Speaker 6 (33:16):

You could come to the restaurant and enjoy something. I
see that happening.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Okay, I like that, and now I don't and.
Speaker 6 (33:26):
I like that, and the other gentleman should know that
that's a healthy That's how you do it. You don't
bring baggage, you don't bring hurt. This is how this
is how gentlemen move forward with with with class.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Yeah, we're just grown ups. That's all this is.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
