[Dan Patrick]

You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. Let's bring in Cornbread Maxwell, Celtics radio analyst and former MVP in the 1981 NBA Finals. All right, Cedric, how do you explain the Celtics are down 20 and heading to New York on Saturday, didn't shoot the ball well?

[Sue Bird]

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 halves. They didn't play with any ferocity. They didn't play any defense. And the Knicks just. The Knicks deserved to win. And then I thought I had. I thought people were obnoxious in la. When I thought about the Laker fans, they got nothing. On the Knick fans, they got nothing. I have gone to another height of hatred now. Oh, my God.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, boy. Wait till Saturday night. Wait till Saturday.

[Sue Bird]

Wait till they lose Saturday night.

[Dan Patrick]

That's what you gonna say. 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?

[Sue Bird]

Well, Dan, you know, I was, I was old school. So we played in the paint. Whitford, Mikhail, Paris, those guys, we played in the paint. But I'll put it this way. When you went to the prom and you were with your pretty girlfriend, did you change and see another girl and went home with the other one? No. You stayed the course and you did what you normally do, you stay with. And Joe Missoula believes that his team is going to shoot better. They can't shoot as poorly as they have in the last in these two halves and lose the basketball game again.

[Dan Patrick]

Is Jayson Tatum, in your mind a top five player?

[Vince Vaughn]

Yes.

[Sue Bird]

Yes, he is. And then I asked you one of these questions. We talk about one of the greatest power forwards of all time, Kevin McHale. Do you know how many points he averaged in the championship game against championship series against the Houston Rockets in 1981? Can you take a guess?

[Dan Patrick]

10 points?

[Sue Bird]

4. 4 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 1981, he averaged 13 points 15 points, but he averaged 15 rebounds. So other people have to do other things to step up and make it easier for Tatum when he's not shooting the ball well.

[Dan Patrick]

So. Okay, let's run down the list here. If he's in the top five, so Joker.

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

Sga.

[Sue Bird]

Yes.

[Dan Patrick]

Do you put Luca top five?

[Sue Bird]

No, no.

[Dan Patrick]

Anthony Edwards.

[Sue Bird]

I wouldn't put him before Tatum.

[Dan Patrick]

Giannis.

[Sue Bird]

Up and down. I think. I think he had a better. I think Jason Tatum had a better year than Giannis. So, I mean, there's no. I mean, you. If you go, then there's no clear cut. So.

[Dan Patrick]

No, no, no. I put Giannis over Tatum.

[Sue Bird]

Yeah. So you can. All right, you said Giannis over Tatum. Where else you going with that?

[Dan Patrick]

I'd probably still put Luca there.

[Sue Bird]

I wouldn't put Luca there. No, no, Luca doesn't. Luka doesn't play enough defense. And this is why I have to believe in the great Kendrick Perkins. He said Luka might be the best superstar non defensive player in the history of basketball. He can score you points, but he gives them up in bunches. So I can't go that way. I love his greatness on the offensive end, but not on the defensive end.

[Dan Patrick]

But you know what? We pick and choose with that because did anybody 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.

[Sue Bird]

Well, let me, Let me say this then. Dan, do you know that Larry Bird made all defensive teams several times?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, but because he came up with steals, he played the passing lanes. He couldn't guard. He wasn't guarding you. Come on. You probably torched him in practice.

[Sue Bird]

So, so we were talking. You're talking about guys who are 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 rebounder. What he didn't do in these last couple of games, he didn't shoot the ball well. And normally Jaylen Brown is able to pick him up or Porzingis, but whatever this is, is going on with Porzingis hasn't really, really let it happen.

[Dan Patrick]

The Knicks haven't played great, though. I think you, you know, everybody keeps focusing on. Boston hasn't played their game. The Knicks haven't played great. I mean, to be down by 20 points in two consecutive games. I think they just, they. They have Patience. And they're kind of like the puncher who's going to take three punches and give you one in return.

[Sue Bird]

That. That might be true. And I think the thing is, Josh Hart has played extremely well. He's been the key to what he had 23 points. You're going to say you're going to get something from Karl Anthony Towns. You're going to 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. He showed up last night and scored the basketball. So in different ways, the Knicks have played very effective basketball in the second half and. But also in the second halves of these games, the Celtics have collapsed.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, what has to happen on Saturday night, right out of the gate.

[Sue Bird]

Right out of the gate. Be aggressive shooting threes.

[Dan Patrick]

Are we shooting threes?

[Sue Bird]

You're still going to shoot threes. You're still going to shoot. You're still going to shoot to threes, but you're going to be a little bit more aggressive about taking the ball to the paint. One thing the Celtics did extremely well was when you saw Jew Holiday take Brunson 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 his defensive end.

[Dan Patrick]

You, I think, made one three pointer in your career.

[Sue Bird]

Yes, I did.

[Dan Patrick]

You remember that one?

[Sue Bird]

I do. It was in Houston and. And in that game, only four three pointers were taken in that particular game.

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

So.

[Sue Bird]

So, as you like to say, what's your point there?

[Dan Patrick]

What's your point?

[Sue Bird]

I love you, but what's your point?

[Dan Patrick]

If Bird played now, how many three pointers is he allowed to take?

[Sue Bird]

14. 15. And I talked to a guy who was like that, Antoine Walker. Every time he lined up to take a three wins with the Celtics early in his career, people start boring him. I talked to him about a couple of weeks ago, he said, man, they were. They would have cheered me for what I'm doing right now, taking three. So the game has changed. Steph Curry did one thing. He changed the game in the way almost no other player has done, making the three pointer. I talked to his dad and I asked his dad, I said, your son's destroyed the game the way I loved it. He said, yeah, there are a lot of three point takers, but there are not a lot of three point makers.

[Dan Patrick]

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 3D.

[Sue Bird]

When you go to any local gym or you go outside, the first thing a guy does we. He couldn't, he couldn't hit it inside. First thing he does is line 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 1981 in the championship series, there were like, in this championship game, I think there were five threes attempted for the entire game. Now five threes are attempted in the first two minutes.

[Dan Patrick]

Have fun in New York. Be prepared. They're waiting for you.

[Sue Bird]

I cannot wait, Dan. I thought I hated the Laker fans, but man, they've gone down the pig right now. Nick. Suck. That's all I'm saying.

[Dan Patrick]

Why don't you wear your old Celtics jersey to the game?

[Sue Bird]

Because I'm old school. Damn. What do I need? Well, you want to beat up a 70 year old man?

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

I heard you.

[Sue Bird]

See you were born in 19, what, 56? Yeah, I was born in 1955. Come on, give me a break.

In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI fueled nightmare.

[Dan Patrick]

Someone was posting photos.

[Vince Vaughn]

It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone.

[Dan Patrick]

Else'S body parts on my body.

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

Parts that looked exactly like my own. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York. But reporting this series took us through the darkest corners of the Internet and to the front lines of a global battle against deepfake pornography. This should be illegal, but what is this? This is a story about a technology that's moving faster than the law and about vigilantes trying to stem the tide. I'm Margie Murphy. And I'm Olivia Carville. This is Levittown. A new podcast from iHeart Podcast, Bloomberg and Kaleidoscope. Listen to Levittown on Bloomberg's Big Take podcast. Find it on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Dan Patrick]

On November 5, 2018 at 6:33am, a red Volkswagen Golf was found abandoned in a ditch out in Sleep Hole Valley. The driver's seat door was open. No traces of footsteps leaving the vehicle. No belongings were found, except for a cassette tape Lodged in the player. On that tape were 10 vile. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Grotesque. Oh, my God.

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

Oh, my God.

[Dan Patrick]

Horrific stories that to this day have been kept restricted from the public. Until now. You feeling this too? A horror anthology podcast. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Sue Bird won four WNBA championships. She was an All Star 13 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, Sue?

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

Need, like a business index card at this point or whatever. Managing director. It's basically what Grant Hill did for the men's team. So, like a gm. Pick the coach, pick the players, and then win some gold medals.

[Dan Patrick]

How do you deal with players lobbying you now or being your friend or sending you gifts or cards or flowers?

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

If only I were that easy. No, 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, 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.

[Dan Patrick]

Would you put Caitlin Clark on the Olympic team right now? No. No. Last this past Olympic team, I knew.

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

You were going to ask this question. Um, honestly, I have to just say that I. I respected the. The committee's job. I understood what was at. 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. Um, a lot of people see the final game against France, they see, you know, only winning by a couple 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?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I think it was best for both. And I said that at the time. I didn't. 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 going to guess she'll probably be on the next Olympic team. Just guessing.

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

I mean, you know, tbd. You got three years.

[Dan Patrick]

How's your jumper?

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

It's. I still got it. Now, the moving, like side to side, that's a little tougher, but the jumper's still there.

[Dan Patrick]

Do you ever show up at a park and just start shooting?

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

No, 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, you know, I assess.

[Dan Patrick]

What do you think about your Knicks stealing two games in Boston?

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

Oh, gosh, I couldn't be happier. I mean, I think the Detroit series just set them up for this. They 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.

[Dan Patrick]

Would you give up one of your gold medals if it meant the Knicks were going to play in the NBA Finals? No guarantee they would win. Would you give up a gold medal?

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

Absolutely not. And I love the Knicks.

[Dan Patrick]

You got five of them. Come on. If it meant the next. No, no.

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

And I feel bad saying that. I've been waiting for this type of run. We all have for a really long time. Yeah. I remember my eighth grade graduation. I was like, if there were smartphones, then I would have been at my eighth grade graduation watching finals games.

[Dan Patrick]

You ever worn a gold medal socially? No. Okay.

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

Imagine they'd be like, clanging around. It'd be too loud.

[Dan Patrick]

I would do it if I. I wouldn't wear out. I mean, imagine Michael Phelps. He went out and had. What's he got, like 20. It hurt his back if he had all 28 medals. Yeah. A couple of things. Now you have a new podcast, Bird's Eye view, that launches May 16th. And also you do a touch more the podcast every Thursday with with Megan Rapinoe. 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 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.

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

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 and plateaus, but they just. They just keep it coming. And then, yeah, the African nations, Nigeria has done a tremendous job in the last couple of Olympics. Some of that is 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, I guess.

[Dan Patrick]

Compare and contrast the coverage when you were a rookie in the WNBA to what that coverage is like now.

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

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. With a couple of exceptions, there was excitement, there was. There was coverage. There was. You know, I would. I'd get invite to. Invited to different shows or, you know, maybe something like the SBS 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 seeing now.

[Dan Patrick]

What would be your UConn women's Mount Rushmore?

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

It's pretty easy, actually. Diana, Brianna Stewart, Maya Moore, and we'll go. Rebecca Lobo.

[Dan Patrick]

You could say you. If you wanted to.

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

I know, but.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, well, Lobo started it, right? Yep. Yeah. So. So one.

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

If anyone gets a statue at Rebecca Lobo.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, a statue.

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

Yep.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Does Gino get a statue at UConn?

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

Rebecca gets one first.

[Dan Patrick]

Really?

[Vince Vaughn]

Yeah.

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

You know, there's only one statue on campus. It's of Jonathan the husky dog. So.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

It's only right. Rebecca first.

[Dan Patrick]

Does Hurley get a statue or Gino.

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

Okay, I'll give it to him.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. What's your favorite oriemma story, though, that you tell?

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

Oh. Oh, my God. What kind of program is this?

[Dan Patrick]

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, But.

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

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. He was in on that. He was in on that. We caught a lot of that attitude. Also.

[Dan Patrick]

When did you get to the point where you could make fun of him?

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

Yeah, when. Yeah, you know, you can do it. He likes it when you're a player. Like, he. He wants you to react and respond. So he's okay with a little. He's okay with it. I think my favorite story is. And I actually just turned. Told this one recently. I got his permission, so we're good.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

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 super tight. And he says, do you know what this is? This is all your butthole right now. And you know, that kind of explains it. The message came across loud and clear.

[Dan Patrick]

Congrats on the new title. Congrats on the podcast, and it's great to see you. Thank you again.

In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI fueled nightmare.

[Dan Patrick]

Someone was posting photos.

[Vince Vaughn]

It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone.

[Dan Patrick]

Else'S body parts on my body.

[Vince Vaughn]

Parts that looked exactly like my own.

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York. But reporting the series took us through the darkest corners of the Internet and to the front lines of a global battle against deepfake pornography. This should be illegal, but what is this? This is a story about a technology that's moving faster than the law and about vigilantes trying to stem the tide. I'm Margie Murphy. And I'm Olivia Carvill.

On November 5, 2018 at 6:33am, a red Volkswagen Golf was found abandoned in a ditch out in Sleep Hole Valley. The driver's seat door was open. No traces of footsteps leaving the vehicle. No belongings were found, except for a cassette tape lodged in the player. On that tape were 10 vile.

[Cedric Cornbread Maxwell]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Dan Patrick]

Grotesque. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Horrific stories that to this day have been Kept restricted from this to a horror anthology podcast. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Vince Vaughn, actor, producer, director, writer, comedian. New Netflix film known as and it'll come out tomorrow on Netflix. So he plays a guy who opens up an Italian restaurant and features local grandmothers. He just lost his mother and he brings them in. So you got Lorraine Bracco, Brenda Vaccaro, Susan Sarandon, Talia Shire, they play the nonas. And you got Vince Vaughn who's running the restaurant. Vince joins us on the program. How'd you, how'd you decide on this or come across this idea?

[Vince Vaughn]

How you doing, Dan? Good to be with you. You know, I got the script. The director, Stephen Chbosky directed that movie Wonder, which I really liked. 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. 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 in meeting the guy, he was so refreshing because it was really about giving these Nona's this opportunity more than he had a business plan, more than he was looking to expand it. He was really just sort of looking to create great nights, great atmospheres in.

[Dan Patrick]

This restaurant, I'm guessing. Laughs But I'm guessing maybe some tears in this.

[Vince Vaughn]

You're not wrong as always. Patrick, you're right there near the bullseye.

[Dan Patrick]

Do you cry early?

[Vince Vaughn]

Do you. There's definitely some comedy in it, but, but it's a, 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.

[Dan Patrick]

All right. But you know, you're going to provide. It'll be light hearted as well. I just want to make sure that, you know, I, I'm prepared for this. I want to go in knowing kind of what the parameters are emotionally.

[Vince Vaughn]

Yeah, you know, there's definitely some laughs. The actresses are phenomenal. The, all the, the great actors that you, that you mentioned are terrific and they all really shine in the movie. And the, that one's got good chemistry. It's fun the movie. You know, this director is very good. Did you see Wonder?

[Dan Patrick]

I did not.

[Vince Vaughn]

Yeah, well, you got one on the list. There's a few. And now you got another one.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. All right.

[Vince Vaughn]

And he's very good. He's very good.

[Dan Patrick]

I, I was in a movie with Susan Sarandon.

[Vince Vaughn]

That's. That's correct.

[Dan Patrick]

Did you know?

[Vince Vaughn]

It's very nice. She's a lovely lady.

[Dan Patrick]

Did she.

[Vince Vaughn]

Very lovely lady.

[Dan Patrick]

I know she is, but did you know I was. I, I might say co starred, but I was in a movie with Susan Sarandon.

[Vince Vaughn]

Which, which, which movie?

[Dan Patrick]

That's my boy. Did you see it?

[Vince Vaughn]

Is that the one with Sandler?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Vince Vaughn]

Fantastic.

[Dan Patrick]

I was so good. You probably didn't know it was me.

[Vince Vaughn]

But you dazzled a few times. Well, you dazzled a few times.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I know. How do you. How do friends politely ask you to be in a movie? Okay, is there, Is there?

[Vince Vaughn]

I mean, I have had that happen to me where people. It's. It's challenging, but it depends. You know, most people. Sometimes people are 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 me, 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.

[Dan Patrick]

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.

[Vince Vaughn]

How did that go?

[Dan Patrick]

It didn't go well. It did not go well.

[Vince Vaughn]

It didn't go well. You know what? I think now that it's out there, can only get better from heal. The healing is going to start because you've addressed it.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, he did say that I belong to Sandler. And I said, look, I'm willing to see other. I'm willing to see other people, you know, behind Sandler's back.

[Vince Vaughn]

That's hurt feelings. He was carrying his own conversation you weren't aware of. And that makes sense. Then maybe he felt. Maybe he felt a little ashamed. 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.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, 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 you have a hat trick.

[Vince Vaughn]

You have the hat trick of the three of you. That would be great in a scene.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, yeah, that would be great. Dodgeball 2. Rumblings.

[Vince Vaughn]

There's been rumblings. Yeah. I think there's a script that's actually, you know, an idea that's pretty good. So, you know, you always, with all these ones, there's always the want, but you really want the story to stand on its own. But I do think the dodgeball one's a pretty good idea. I just did a movie for, for Fox called Mike, Nick, Nick and Alice with Marsden, with James Marsden, which is a kind of an action comedy. And so you never know. Maybe. But why is it Bad Monkey? I'm going to do Bad Monkey next 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.

[Dan Patrick]

I like the character in Bad Monkey.

[Vince Vaughn]

Yeah, it's a fun. Bill Lawrence is great, as you know. I love Bill and that was fun.

[Dan Patrick]

Good, good. Group talking to Vince Vaughn, 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 Bracco, Brenda Vicaro, Susan Sarandon and Talia Shire. How's your sports teams in Chicago?

[Vince Vaughn]

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? Did you like. Yeah, Loveland there in the first. You did?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yeah. I thought that he was good and I thought the Bears were going to be a playoff team last year. So I'm going to double down and say they're going to be a playoff team this year.

[Vince Vaughn]

You know, 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. 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 was in hand, in some desperation. And when that tip happened and the Redskins caught the ball, you had a, you had a 10 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, 35, 40 minutes he came down and he had gathered his emotions and his thoughts and he was prepared. He had up, 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. 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.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, but can he bail on the Bears? Are, would you allow him?

[Vince Vaughn]

Yeah, I would, I would. I mean he does root for a lot of the Los Angeles teams, but he does root for the Bears. But I think that's right. You got to let them have their own experience. So you know what happens. 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 contrarian. Did you ever have that with your kids?

[Dan Patrick]

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 my team and you know, made a proclamation to the family. And I go, okay, what's it gonna be? He goes, red Sox. I go, okay. I go out and buy him some gear, get him a hat.

[Vince Vaughn]

That's great.

[Dan Patrick]

Get him a jacket. He wears the hat to school and the Yankee fans grabbed it, put it in the urinal and peed on it.

[Vince Vaughn]

Oh dear. Well, he learned about commitment, didn't he?

[Dan Patrick]

Well, my wife goes my way.

[Vince Vaughn]

It wasn't, it wasn't an easy choice given the location. You got to respect the kid.

[Dan Patrick]

My, my wife couldn't understand it. I said, no, hun. Now you understand the rivalry. And yeah, so you know, it was.

[Vince Vaughn]

All that New York, Boston rivalry take place after the basketball game last night, right.

[Dan Patrick]

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?

[Vince Vaughn]

I have, I went to a Lakers game this year. I like what Rob Polinka 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. But I do. I do enjoy going to. I go to any. I really like going to different stadiums and. And going to see different teams. And to have the time, I enjoy going. Where's your favorite place to watch a game? Any sport.

[Dan Patrick]

Home.

[Vince Vaughn]

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.

[Dan Patrick]

I just. I. It's just easier for me to do my job because I don't have the fan experience anymore. I don't root. Therefore, the best place for me to watch a game and still do my job is home.

[Vince Vaughn]

Yeah, 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?

[Dan Patrick]

I think the Lions, I enjoy that storyline. It's. It's sort of the football equivalent of the Cubs. And I think that's. 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. It's unscripted. Like, you can't script certain sporting events. It just happens. And that's what makes it so magical.

[Vince Vaughn]

Well, that's 100% right. You have all the emotions and desires, and it plays out in that moment. That's why life, sports is still, you 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. You know, the gamble, the coach. 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.

[Dan Patrick]

If. So you were probably 13 or 14 when the Bears won the Super Bowl.

[Vince Vaughn]

Yeah, I was. Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Vince Vaughn]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. So you're. You're just.

[Vince Vaughn]

You look at that Billy Sims highlight, by the way, one of the great highlights with him running on the face mask of defenders.

[Dan Patrick]

He jumped him, right? Yeah.

[Vince Vaughn]

Remember Billy Sims? 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 them.

[Dan Patrick]

That's a. It's an odd reference, but I was a big Billy Sims fan. But. But you're. You're a little older than what your son is now. He just needs to capture that magic that you had to make that magic, you know, put up with all of this.

[Vince Vaughn]

The tragedy was when the Cubs won, which, as you know, was like no one could believe it, a hundred years. So I had taken them. I had taken them back to Chicago for the World Series. I was. I. 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. And so it was like come the sixth inning, it could have been any game. They were very young, they were very tired.

[Dan Patrick]

They're ready to leave.

[Vince Vaughn]

My idea of what. My idea of what this experience would be like did not translate in the moment.

[Dan Patrick]

Did you cry?

[Vince Vaughn]

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. But yeah, they like. They do like the we'll go to some Kings game. They root for the Kings, too. They like. He roots for the local teams. And my daughter, they don't root for the Rams or the Chargers, so they haven't. I haven't had that. It's like you got that. That letter of declaration for like a college declare. We haven't got. I haven't gotten one singular one yet.

[Dan Patrick]

Did you cry when the Cubs won?

[Vince Vaughn]

You know, when I saw. And I was with a bunch of people and it was a strange feeling. I don't know that if I cr. 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 thing with the fan reaching for the ball, it was like you just couldn't. Now that you're in game seven, you were just waiting. And 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 moment. So it made it even, you know, if you would have beaten the perennial powerhouse that always won. And don't get me wrong, 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.

[Dan Patrick]

You would have preferred the Yankees?

[Vince Vaughn]

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 just, it was just a weird pairing and now it's game seven. So, yeah, it was definitely more of a sigh of relief. Was I thrilled? Absolutely. 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 a jump up and down.

[Dan Patrick]

Will I be in Known as two?

[Vince Vaughn]

If there's a Known as two and your dance card is available, and as long as Adam knows about it, I think it's better we share it with him than not. Then I would say that this was the old Magic 8 Ball.

[Dan Patrick]

It says, chances are good there's breaking news. If there is a Known as two, I will be in it.

[Vince Vaughn]

Yeah, if there's a notice too, we'll definitely have you in it. You could come to the restaurant and enjoy something. Yeah, I, I see that happening.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, I like that. And now.

[Vince Vaughn]

And I don't. And I like the. 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 class.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, we're just grown ups. That's all this is. Yeah, that's all it is. Yeah. It's quid pro quo. I help you, you help me. We're buddies. Let's have fun. Break bread. I'll reunite with Susan Sarandon Furniture.

[Vince Vaughn]

No, but you do it.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, absolutely. Good luck with it. Great to talk to you again, Vince. Thanks for joining us.

[Vince Vaughn]

Always great to talk to you, Dan.

[Dan Patrick]

Be well, Ben Spawn.
