The episode blends insightful sports analysis with lively banter, providing listeners with a comprehensive look at the game-deciding play that left fans and analysts alike baffled.

Main Discussion

The Knicks vs. Pacers Showdown

The focal point of the episode is the dramatic encounter between the New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers. The hosts dissect the pivotal moment in the fourth quarter where the game took an unexpected turn due to a controversial shot referred to as the "doink."

• Nick's Early Confidence and Unexpected Turnaround

  Rich Davis recounts his initial reaction during the game:

  "At the moment when they were up about 18, I went outside to start trimming my rose bushes and, you know, do the dad thing." ([06:47])

  Danny G humorously adds:

  "Hope you had a Pacer sort of night, not a New York Knicks sort of night." ([04:11])

• The Controversial Doink Shot

  The discussion intensifies as they analyze the infamous shot by Tyrese Halliburton:

  "With six minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Knicks were up 111, 94... He pushed it to overtime and they ended up winning." ([11:46])

  Rich Davis emphasizes the significance of the play:

  "Doink. What about this one? One of your favorite doinks off the head of Jose Canseco." ([13:37])

  Danny G adds historical context by comparing it to other notable "doinks" in sports:

  "Danny G. Will open it up to everybody. Prisoner of the Moment or not." ([11:28])

Analyzing 'Doink' Moments in Sports History

The hosts draw parallels between the Knicks' doink and other memorable sports moments, highlighting the unpredictability and excitement that such plays bring to the game.

• Kawhi Leonard's Triple Doink

  "That triple doink... Doink Doink." ([10:19])

  "That was the most ridiculous shot ever." ([13:15])

• Teen Wolf's Legendary Foul Shot

  Danny G nostalgically references the movie Teen Wolf to illustrate the dramatic nature of such plays:

  "It was the wildest ending. Like, it looked like he was driving to the basket... and then he did the little backup, and you're like, oh, what is he trying to be a hero?" ([09:16])

  "Teen Wolf himself makes that legendary foul shot." ([10:27])

Emotional Reactions and Player Performance

The episode doesn't shy away from the emotional toll such games take on players and fans alike. The hosts discuss the stoic demeanor of Knicks' coach Brunson post-game and the overall impact on the team's morale.

• Brunson's Bewildered Reaction

  "Did you see Brunson at the end of the game at the press conference sitting there like... emotionless?" ([12:35])

  "It was the weird. And I get it." ([12:40])

• Player Statistics and Team Performance

  Rich Davis provides a statistical breakdown of the players' performances:

  "By the way, looking at stats, Halliburton ended up with 31 points..." ([10:06])

  Danny G highlights the significance of free throws and clutch performances:

  "You can't sleep on what Nismith did, hitting all those threes, free throws." ([19:45])

Comparative Analysis: Doinks Across Sports

The hosts take a detour to compare the Knicks' doink with other sports' infamous shots and plays, creating an engaging cross-sport dialogue.

• NFL's Triple Doink

  "Danny, we just broke the record for the word doink in one hour, man. Record holders." ([48:04])

  "It just had the roll, essentially." ([17:16])

• Historical Moments in Other Leagues

  Rich Davis reminisces about memorable plays in football and baseball:

  "Remember when that big comeback against the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship game..." ([13:17])

  "One out of like 10,000 times... That was insane." ([15:21])

The Bigger Picture: Playoff Implications and Future Games

As the episode progresses, the conversation shifts towards the broader implications of the Knicks' loss and what it means for the playoffs.

• Playoff Dynamics and Team Morale

  Rich Davis muses on the team's chances moving forward:

  "The Pacers are up by five and a half to six in some places. There's a sentiment that redemption is coming." ([24:51])

  Danny G discusses the resilience of the Knicks:

  "The Knicks aren’t done. No, they're going to come back in game two." ([38:05])

• Fan Reactions and Social Media Buzz

  The hosts touch upon the social media buzz, including reactions from Cowboys fans regarding the Knicks' performance and Stephen A. Smith's commentary:

  "Are Dallas Cowboys fans thrilled? Are they calling this the redemption?" ([22:03])

Notable Quotes

• Rich Davis on the Doink:

  "Was that a three? Oh no. Is that a premature celebration?" ([08:52])

• Danny G on Emotional Impact:

  "It ripped the hearts out of all Knicks fans." ([12:35])

[Rich Davis]

I was also going to say wave at the camera right now.

[Danny G]

Hi.

[Rich Davis]

Because we also are streaming live on the fox Sports Radio YouTube page right now.

[Danny G]

You know, I'm going through all old home videos.

[Rich Davis]

You look a little thick on camera today.

[Danny G]

Do I, man? Like, like T H I I I c C a little thick. Nice, man. Is it beefy because I'm working out or is it because I'm eating too much?

[Rich Davis]

I don't know. We used to say Cartman was beefy. Right?

[Danny G]

But on a throwback Thursday before We get into this game just real quick. I'm going through home videos, and, of course, I'm looking for, like, all my little league home runs. None of that was documented, ever. But every time I have the camcorder out, the reaction always is, get that thing out of my face. Like, you're just a little kid trying to capture a moment. And that was everybody's 80s reaction.

[Rich Davis]

I don't know why that was like, no, get that out of my face.

[Danny G]

What are you doing? Get it out of my face.

[Rich Davis]

Well, people like to say that back in the day, you were the Mexican Adam Goldberg.

[Danny G]

I was. Yeah. But that was the reaction you got way back when.

[Rich Davis]

So anyway, why is that? I agree.

[Danny G]

I don't know.

[Rich Davis]

Even today, if you were to go around, like, at a party with your phone, like, hey, we're celebrating. Hey, it's always a couple. Always a couple. People that are like.

[Danny G]

Because it was so new, I guess, at the time, like, what are you doing? Making movies. Get out of my face. I don't know. So now we're used to it. We're conditioned. Everyone had their camera out last night waiting to see the Knicks win. Not what happened. Nope. So my first question is, are we prisoners of the moment, as Danny G. Likes to say? Hi, Danny G. Or was that what up, Danny G? Danny G's on the phones at 877-99-FOX. He was on the edge of his seat watching this game last night like everybody else. It was set up for the Knicks to win. They were up by 18 in the fourth.

[Rich Davis]

I'm not gonna lie. At that moment, when they were up about 18, I went outside to start trimming my rose bushes and, you know. You know, do the dad thing.

[Danny G]

Sure. You want to admit that.

[Rich Davis]

You know, you do the dad thing.

[Danny G]

Realize you're on the radio, right? Yeah.

[Unknown]

Rich, can you make us sound a little cooler?

[Danny G]

Yeah. That thing would tell your little nose picking kids to go do that while that finishes the game.

[Rich Davis]

Making sure there are no weeds sticking out of the cement.

[Unknown]

I think it's awesome. There's nothing wrong with yard work. Trimming up the flowers. I am right there with you.

[Rich Davis]

Maybe a quarter, Dan. Sorry. I mean, sorry that you don't have the curb appeal. My house has no say you did.

[Unknown]

It after the game was completely over.

[Rich Davis]

No. Rich got the herb appeal when they were up 18. I'm like, all right, I could go. I could go take out the recycling and check out the. The Garden.

[Unknown]

And it's getting worse.

[Rich Davis]

And then Danny Garden.

[Danny G]

The garden was rocking until the very end, I was.

[Rich Davis]

I was worried about the wrong garden, I guess, because I start getting text messages from Danny and Kavino, like, oh. And as soon as I saw oh, I ran back in the house. I'm like, babe, put the game back on.

[Danny G]

With six minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Knicks were up 111, 94. 111, 94. And as we already said, they won 138, 135. Halliburton with his hands around his neck, they choked.

[Rich Davis]

Know what I just learned, by the way, in the last couple minutes?

[Danny G]

What?

[Rich Davis]

Dan Byer's got class. And you two clowns.

[Danny G]

What are you talking about? We always know that.

[Rich Davis]

Probably live like pigs.

[Danny G]

You think that's a compliment? We've always known you're the last guy to realize it. So if I was Dan Byer, I'd be insulted.

[Rich Davis]

You go to Dan Byer's house? I bet you everything's nicely manicured.

[Unknown]

I just redid my front lawn. I'll show you pictures during the break.

[Danny G]

You know what, Dan? I'm not surprised. I always thought you had class. Rich just figured this out.

[Unknown]

The difference, Rich, is he does it in between the big games, not during the games.

[Danny G]

So the first question, based on everything we saw, Niecemith lighting it up, five, three pointers. You're like, what the hell's happening right now? Was that the craziest doink shot of all time, or was that just prisoner of the moment reaction? Because when that happened, you were like, no way. And then the crowd got silent. The. The broadcast got silent. You're like, what is it?

[Rich Davis]

Was that a three?

[Danny G]

Oh, no. Is that a premature celebration? It got real weird and awkward for a minute because I think nobody really understood what happened. Did the shot go off on time? You didn't know how to react. Prisoner of the moment, Was that the wildest shot or doink of all time, or do you have another one that comes to mind?

[Rich Davis]

I don't think I'm being a prisoner of the moment when I say it absolutely was. And I'll tell you why.

[Danny G]

That was the wildest ending.

[Rich Davis]

The series of events that led up to it. Like, it looked like he was driving to the basket. And then it's like, psych. Oh, I. You know, he saw a defender right there in the box, and then he did the little backup, and you're like, oh, what is he trying to be a hero? And then when it hit you, like, what? Not only that, when it boinked up.

[Danny G]

Is it a boink or a doink? I think A boink is what you're doing this weekend.

[Unknown]

Yeah, it was a doink.

[Danny G]

Yeah, Doink like the clown.

[Unknown]

Because Kawhi had the triple doink.

[Danny G]

Yes.

[Unknown]

So this, this is competing with that one.

[Danny G]

That's the first one that has to come to mind. Right. Because it's a recent legendary moment. And what if it's a bad doink?

[Rich Davis]

Are you listing your favorite doinks?

[Danny G]

Yeah, the clown is last on the list.

[Rich Davis]

Dan, was it the bears? The double doink?

[Unknown]

Yes, it was Cody Parkey double doink.

[Rich Davis]

Good doink.

[Danny G]

The Chiefs had a good doink last year.

[Rich Davis]

Remember in the playoffs? Yeah, they had a couple. They had one against the Raiders. Right too. The Chiefs had a couple of doinks, but the Bears one you're speaking about the doink. Doink no good. The Kawhi Doink, Doink Doink. Triple good.

[Danny G]

And again, crucial moment. Right.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, what about one of your favorite childhood movies?

[Danny G]

Pee wee's big adventure. No, which one?

[Rich Davis]

Teen Wolf.

[Danny G]

Oh, my other favorite movie. Yeah, there was a very famous triple doink. It was like two and a half doinks but it was a triple doink to end the game where teen Wolf himself makes that legendary foul shot while the guy's just standing there under the basket which never happens.

[Rich Davis]

We all agree, we love Michael J. Fox and everything about him except for the fact that his shooting basketball mechanics.

[Danny G]

He had a terrible.

[Rich Davis]

He's like, you know what a little kid pushes with both hands.

[Danny G]

Like he had some decent ball handle but his shot was weak. But that whole situation was weak too because the guy, the nemesis, keep your.

[Rich Davis]

Ball handling to yourself.

[Danny G]

The nemesis, the bad guy from the bad team was under the basket like.

[Rich Davis]

Taunting him, like that's how you defend the free throw. That's how you line up.

[Danny G]

Yeah, but that was a triple. It was like a two and a half doink.

[Unknown]

If you look back, need to look this one up. But Alan Houston on the other side, famously for the Knicks, had a game winning jumper often referred to as the doink winner. But it was against the heat back in 99.

[Danny G]

Danny G. Will open it up to everybody. Prisoner of the Moment or not. 87799 on Fox. Hit us up at Covino and Rich at Fox sports radio. When you think of the series of events that led up to this. And again at the Garden, Eastern conference finals. Big moment. Like we said. Niecemith Hit what?

[Unknown]

Six of his six of eight in.

[Danny G]

The fourth quarter, six of his eight three pointers in the fourth. I think he hit five in a row at one point. Ended up with 30 points, Halliburton ended up with 31. His foot was just on the line, though. Just on the line, but pushed it to overtime. So he said. He said, and I quote him, it was an early celebration, an early celly, meaning he was waiting for the perfect opportunity to bust out the Reggie Miller choking signal and hand gesture. But you know what? It pushed it to overtime and they ended up winning. So all's fair. He got that off and he ripped the hearts out of all Knicks fans and the Knicks team. Did you see Brunson at the end of the game at the press conference sitting there like.

[Rich Davis]

Like bewildered, Like a vein was about to pop in his head?

[Danny G]

Seriously, he was just sitting there emotionless.

[Rich Davis]

Almost like you wonder, could he rec.

[Danny G]

Yeah, it was the weird. And I get it. That was. Again, that was. I mean, I have said it a few times in the past few weeks. This was Molaram level. Kalima Kalima and Mo Ram just ripped the heart out of all the Knicks fans and stomped all over it. Game one at home. Look, it's not over by any means. Even Charles Barkley, who has the Pacers winning, says, you know, the Knicks will recover. It's only the first game, but still a game they should have had and has to crush the spirit a little bit. But that doink. Let's focus on that shot.

[Rich Davis]

I got more doink. That was ridiculous. More doinks.

[Danny G]

Dude, that was the most ridiculous shot ever.

[Rich Davis]

2024. Okay, not this football season. Last football season. And of course you're going to say I remember because I'm a Niners fan, but do you remember when that big comeback against the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship game, when the defender ran a little too far, it doinked off of him into the arms of Brandon Iuk for a touchdown.

[Unknown]

That's right.

[Rich Davis]

Doink. What about this one? One of your favorite doinks off the head of Jose Canseco.

[Danny G]

That's a famous. I love m best, but it's a famous D for that.

[Unknown]

May be the best in baseball history.

[Danny G]

That is such a great one. You know, there was a recent one. I forget who it was, but there was a recent one off the head. And it wasn't a home run, but it was. Someone got hit right off the head. It was really funny to see.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, David Tyree. It was a doink. Or just against the helmet. Do you call it?

[Danny G]

That was more like a zoinks.

[Rich Davis]

Zoink. Sorry. But that was more like a yoink.

[Danny G]

Yeah, it was like a bit of a yoink. So where do you rank that? Are we prisoners of the moment, or were you just as bewildered as. And befuddled and be muffled as Brunson and everybody else watching? Because, Rich, you know how they say art imitates life? If they did this in a movie, you would be like, yeah, right. That would never happen. It hit off the rim and bounced so perfectly up. And it felt like it was up there. So it was past the backboard, right? Or am I imagining this now? Past the backboard? It felt like it was so high. And you watched it in slow motion. Go right in, like, zinc. That was insane.

[Unknown]

It went so high it left the TV screen. Like it did.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Danny G]

Like it felt that it wasn't even.

[Unknown]

In the camera shot.

[Danny G]

I gotta watch it again, Dan, because it was insane to see. Thank you. That was wild.

[Unknown]

The way it fell straight down is the way you have to shoot the basketball at an amusement park to win a big stuffed animal.

[Danny G]

That happens. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Tyrese Halliburton, I don't know if, you know, he got a Scooby Doo afterwards.

[Danny G]

That happens. One out of like 10,000 times. A bounce like that.

[Rich Davis]

That was insane. I would say even more than 10,000 because that.

[Danny G]

So even though he said it was a. It was a premature celebration with the choking Reggie Miller thing, I think it was appropriate because of the moment and that bounce. But, yeah, it would have been cooler if it was behind the line.

[Unknown]

But if they had lost in overtime, if they would. What would you have been saying right now?

[Danny G]

Yeah, we would have been laughing at them. Yeah, they had a win at that point.

[Rich Davis]

Wasted the chokes.

[Danny G]

Yeah, they had a win and they did.

[Unknown]

Yeah. And then you would have been listing not the greatest doinks of all time, but, like, the greatest premature celebrations of all time.

[Danny G]

Dude, without a doubt, Danny. Yeah, they saved that moment by winning the game for sure. And he admitted, like, you know, he was a little premature. He was waiting for the perfect moment, thought that was the moment, but his foot was on the line.

[Rich Davis]

Would you call the immaculate reception in the NFL a doink? Because it went off the defender right into the arms? Yeah, I guess it is a receiver for the Steelers.

[Danny G]

But I think what comes to mind first is weren't your Raiders.

[Rich Davis]

Weren't your Raiders on the receiving end of that, Danny?

[Unknown]

Some of the players and coaches on the field, Rich, claim that it slightly.

[Rich Davis]

Doinked off the turf and Franco Harris for the win.

[Danny G]

We all think Kawhi Leonard, though, I think in recent history with the most famous triple doink because it was also.

[Rich Davis]

A great overhead by the way, that was a great for that. You ever see the overhead photograph of Kawhi just sitting there waiting?

[Danny G]

Yeah, but there's overhead of this, too. Yeah, no, I know what you mean. That iconic moment where they're all sitting.

[Rich Davis]

There, everyone's just watching. Like, if it was a movie. Doink, doink, doink.

[Danny G]

That's insane. Now, does the three. Here's basically the stupid question, I guess, when you really want to break it down. That was a triple doink, and you had everyone there watching, and that's very Teen Wolf, like, and movie like, you're right. Does the triple doink beat out a doink that went straight up and out of the screen like Dan Byers said?

[Rich Davis]

I. I think without being a prisoner of the moment, I still think this one.

[Danny G]

Yeah, it was wild because the koi.

[Rich Davis]

Was a decent shot, and he just got the roll, essentially.

[Danny G]

Did.

[Rich Davis]

I started.

[Danny G]

Look. I started looking around, and I was in a room by myself. Like you. I was doing the. You believe I'm pointing at the tv.

[Rich Davis]

Like, you believe this?

[Unknown]

You were talking to your dog.

[Danny G]

Myself, yeah, I'm talking to the dog. But that's one of those moments that whoever's in the room, you're looking at them like, did you see that?

[Rich Davis]

And again, not that the Kawaii shot was perfect, but again, he got the role on, like, a soft triple doink. Like, boom, boom.

[Danny G]

It was amazing. This was one we're gonna see for years to come.

[Rich Davis]

This is like, you know when you're.

[Danny G]

In the schoolyard, and it was like a circus shot.

[Rich Davis]

Like, you ever see this kid?

[Danny G]

Like, the Globetrotter trotters couldn't perfect that.

[Unknown]

Shot, but it didn't. It didn't win at the buzzer the way Kawhi's did.

[Danny G]

Yeah, that's the difference. That puts it over the edge.

[Rich Davis]

You ever see that clip of the kid that threw a ball against a schoolyard wall thousands of times because there was a hole in the wall the size of, like, the tennis ball?

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

And then finally, after thousands at night, this is like a. You know, a lot of kids watch. Dude perfect.

[Danny G]

Perfect placement.

[Rich Davis]

This is like a dude perfect trick shot.

[Danny G]

You know, that's actually a great challenge. I would love to see guys like, dude, perfect, and see how many times it would take them to recreate that.

[Rich Davis]

Shot off the back of the rim so that it goes directly up in the air and then in overtime.

[Danny G]

And by the way, again, when you watched it in real time, it was. It was sort of confusing. Like, I like that dramatic pause I was wondering, are the broadcasters letting it breathe for the moment just to hear the crowd roar? But the crowd was silent. And I think they were still trying to figure out winner, was it a.

[Unknown]

Winning shot or not because of that toe.

[Danny G]

But that, that, that silence, which was not that long, but in the moment felt like it was like 30 seconds of silence.

[Unknown]

You know, I think what else made that shot pretty incredible was the fact that he had to regroup and recover and step back the way he did. And a lot of times when you see an NBA player have to regroup like that, it's airball that gets shot. And so to, to see the force that he still got the ball up there and then the ball bounced straight up. That surprised me because the way he looked, I thought, oh, is this going to be an airball?

[Danny G]

And you know what? In any championship moment, playoff moment, you need a little bit of luck. They played big at the end and again, the series of events that led to that moment, that was a big moment. But you can't sleep on what Nismith did, hitting all those threes free throws.

[Rich Davis]

That, that really contribute.

[Danny G]

Yeah, exactly. All those moments. You have to imagine that the Pacer's confidence is through the roof.

[Unknown]

The reason I knew that the ball left the frame was because I slow mowed the final three seconds on, on my tv, like on the DVR to watch it. And there's a point where Halliburton goes into the lane and then turns around, looks at the clock at the other basket to find out how much time he has, which is now under 2 seconds. So it's like 1.7 seconds. He then realized, instead of just turning around at that point, that he has enough time to at least jump and try to get on the other side of the three point line. Then got the shot off with one second. There was a fan on the sideline after the ball hit the rim that is like this. His arms in the air. I know you can't see it on the radio, but I'll describe it. And then they immediately go to the top of his head in disgust as the ball.

[Rich Davis]

Surrender, surrender, cobra. Right.

[Unknown]

Yes.

[Rich Davis]

Now in overtime when the Knicks were down by three. Listen, I feel like Brunson and Cat got two looks at a three. It wasn't like, you know, the tightest defense. It was good defense. But don't you feel like Brunson and Carlton, he towns both had shots. There were two opportunities.

[Unknown]

Yes.

[Rich Davis]

It wasn't like, man, there was point whatever seconds and they couldn't get a shot off they had two looks and.

[Danny G]

It just had a few looks. But they also played some bad defense the previous possession.

[Unknown]

They also were up one and had the ball go out of bounds on Brunson's hands after it was deflected by Nemhard. So they were only down one at that point. If they keep possession, maybe they get a better shot.

[Danny G]

Oh, dude, that game seemed so over to the point where you're right, Rich. You know, I really don't blame you for going outside to trim your Rose Garden. Cause it seemed over at the Madison.

[Unknown]

Square Garden, he's not the only one in the country who tuned out. When it's like, you were not.

[Danny G]

You're not.

[Rich Davis]

It was almost a 20 point game. My kids are eating sloppy Joes for dinner. You know, the wife's getting bath time ready. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, babe. I'm go outside for five minutes. Dad needs a breather. So I go outside thinking, I saw the game. I got it.

[Unknown]

It's one of those games where you had to keep checking it though, because again, we've talked about this earlier in this NBA season, a 20 point lead in the NBA is not the same that it used to be with all these three points.

[Danny G]

When I started hitting those threes, I started getting the nervous farts a little bit. I'm like, oh, man.

[Unknown]

At one point it became suddenly 123 to 118. And that's when I focused in again and sat down to watch.

[Danny G]

I could not believe I got to.

[Rich Davis]

Ask this question because this was a trending thing on Twitter and social media today. Are Dallas Cowboys fans thrilled? Are they calling this the redemption? Like the curse of Stephen A. Smith for being so hard on Cowboys fans. So our Cowboys fans loving the moment where you get to see Stephen A. All sad about his Knicks, I'd imagine. So the dude comes in with a cowboy hat every time Dallas loses a big game.

[Danny G]

So I can guarantee I'm a sad man.

[Rich Davis]

There's got to be some Cowboys fans sad, man.

[Unknown]

If they wind up. If they wind up losing this series, then I think Cowboys fans will probably revel in it.

[Danny G]

And again, what was the old saying? The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Oh, you saw the agony of defeat in that press conference. You saw the nick spirits, like, leave their bodies. And that press conference was Le Miserables Brunson sitting there and again, wasted performance. Brunson 43 points. Carl Anthony Town's 35. I think he had.

[Rich Davis]

By the way, which one of you clowns told me under 28. I believe his name was Steve Kavina.

[Danny G]

Did I. Y. You sure it was me?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I'm. We could go back to the video tape.

[Danny G]

Oh, man, don't listen to me, bro.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I know.

[Danny G]

So.

[Rich Davis]

But don't worry, you know, you would have won your draft picks pick six yesterday if you picked anyone in the over because it went 138, 135. Like every one of the ones we talked about. Danny.

[Danny G]

Over, over, over, over, over. It proved two things. Like Danny G Said in these games in today's world, with threes like that, you can't leave. Stick around. And it proves again that basketball is so magical and so great when they're playing at this level in the playoffs. Like, not many things compare to playoff basketball. Like your most casual sports friend, the.

[Rich Davis]

One you say, your favorite Curtis Blow song.

[Danny G]

Which one?

[Rich Davis]

Basketball is my favorite sport.

[Danny G]

And you know what?

[Rich Davis]

I love the way you dribble up and down.

[Danny G]

It's funny because who doesn't love to play basketball, right? Love to play basketball. And I think everybody loves playoff basketball. No doubt. It's the regular season that we're so hard on all the time.

[Rich Davis]

Well, if you want to take a look at Las Vegas where we're going to be in less than a month, we're going to give you details on our big party coming up. Vegas right now says game two, Knicks by five and a half. Six in some places. So there's a, there's a sentiment that redemption at the Garden for game two. And then it becomes a five game series where you give Indiana home court. Really. So you split at home. Now you as a Knicks fan or supporter out there would have to hope you steal one in Indiana and you go to game five to two. But I mean, we're only one game in. But based on yesterday, I would love to see seven games. I mean, who wouldn't?

[Danny G]

So your reaction, your thoughts? We'll get to your phone calls next. 87790 FOX. And still to come, old school win 50 hits. We throw it back on a Thursday.

[Steve Covino]

But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.

We are live from the Fox Sports Radio studio, Cavino and Rich. And we throw it back on Thursdays, 20 minutes from now. Old school when 50 hits. We'll be talking old school video games. We'll explain why. So start thinking of your favorites and call us when we tell you. 87799 on Fox. And a big announcement a half hour from now. Okay, so we have a big party. We're doing a Fox Sports Radio live broadcast in Vegas. We have all the details and we want you to be there. This is your invite details in a half hour right here on the Covino and Rich show. But, but the reaction of last night's game. Pacers with a huge win. Game one huge again, stomping on the hearts of the Knicks. And I'm saying it was the best doink shot you're probably thinking since Kawhi, but I think since Teen Wolf. Since the triple doink in the movie Teen Wolf.

[Rich Davis]

Rich Classic.

[Danny G]

Yeah, you remember that 1, 2, 3, 80s music.

[Rich Davis]

Kicking the 80s music.

[Danny G]

And by the way, the random fun fact about the ending of Teen Wolf.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Danny G]

Not only did Michael J. Fox make the Final shot.

[Rich Davis]

But this is a fun fact.

[Danny G]

There's a Dude. Do you know this story?

[Unknown]

Yeah. You told us that you used to pause your VHS tape on this all the time.

[Danny G]

That's not true. But there is a fun fact that, you know, it takes place in a high school in the 80s and the kid makes the shot. It's a story of puberty, really. That's really what this movie is about. But one of the extras in the gymnasium has his junk out.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, right there. Undoes his fly.

[Danny G]

Undoes his fly. Has his junk out right there.

[Unknown]

What's the time stamp, Covino?

[Rich Davis]

Oh, Camino has it at 143into the mov.

[Danny G]

Yeah, I have it memorized. But, yeah, it's one of those infamous sort of moments.

[Rich Davis]

It's. There's two Michael J. Fox random moments like that. The junk shot at the end of Teen Wolf, which.

[Danny G]

True, by the way, there's a guy.

[Rich Davis]

In there, you say jump shot or junk shot?

[Danny G]

Junk shot. He makes a foul shot. But there's a guy with a junk.

[Rich Davis]

Shot in the background and jump shot. I don't know what was less impressive, the junk shot or his jump shot.

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

And then if you watch Back to the Future 3, which many say is the worst one, but still enjoyable.

[Danny G]

It's good. It's different.

[Rich Davis]

You're a big fan of Mad Dog 10 and, right?

[Danny G]

Oh, yeah, dude, Mad Dog 10.

[Unknown]

How old was Brett Favre when he was an extra in that movie?

[Rich Davis]

Oh, stop.

[Danny G]

Good. And that man is Brett Farr.

[Rich Davis]

So I was saying in the end of Back to the Future three, remember when Doc Emmett Brown rolls up on the train, like, Marty, I've turned the train into a time machine. There's a little boy, Emmett's son in the future. Like, this is little Emmett.

[Danny G]

Some little redheaded Weisenheimer.

[Rich Davis]

They must have been a signal. They say on the set, like, if one of the kid actors needs to pee, he just like, like, points down to his privates. So in the middle of a scene, Michael J. Fox and Document Brown having, like, an emotional moment. You see the little kid.

[Danny G]

Like, if you watch the scene, look it up on YouTube. What's that kid doing?

[Rich Davis]

Why is he pointing? What is he doing?

[Danny G]

Two random Michael J. Fox moments. But in the movie Teen Wolf, there is a famous triple doink to win the shot. And again, life imitates our arm. R imitates life. You think of Kawhi. But that one last night was. It was a circus shot.

[Rich Davis]

You know, we joked about the clown in wrestling. There was a gimmick I totally forgot this. Where there were two doinks.

[Danny G]

Two Doink the clowns.

[Rich Davis]

Double doink. I'm going to give you a shot at a free coffee right now.

[Danny G]

Oh boy.

[Rich Davis]

That's our usual wager because Kavino's a cheapskate. Alex P. Keaton, Marty McFly, legendary Michael J. Fox. In fact, I'll buy you coffee for a week if you could tell me what his character's name in Teen Wolf was.

[Danny G]

I was trying to think about it.

[Rich Davis]

I was trying to look it up.

[Danny G]

What was Francis's name? Chubby or Chunk?

[Rich Davis]

Chunky.

[Danny G]

Chubbs.

[Rich Davis]

Chunky.

[Danny G]

I couldn't think of his name.

[Rich Davis]

I don't think anyone knows.

[Danny G]

I could sing you the Teen Wolf cartoon song if you wanted me to. I can't think of the guy's name. Stiles was the cool guy. Styles Stiles. Right.

[Rich Davis]

But he was Scott Howard.

[Danny G]

See, I wouldn't have remembered that.

[Rich Davis]

That's a tough one.

[Danny G]

I wouldn't remember that. But are we prisoners of the moment or was that just insane last night?

[Rich Davis]

I think because of how it doinked like off the back of the rim, straight up in the air like as if almost, you know, like remember in Angels in the outfield when the ball was being carried by Angels into the players gloves. I feel like that ball went straight up and like.

[Danny G]

God.

[Rich Davis]

Pacers fan.

[Danny G]

That's the thing. I feel like if it happened on any level. Wait, is the Pope.

[Rich Davis]

That was ridiculous. Is the Pope a Pacers fan? Do we check this?

[Unknown]

Yeah, but I feel like his toe kept it from being the greatest of all time.

[Danny G]

Had it closed out the game.

[Unknown]

Yeah. Had it been a three pointer to win it then I think it would have been on the top.

[Danny G]

Fair. Fair point. Danny. Let's go.

[Rich Davis]

JP in Florida says we are forgetting the best triple doink. What's up jp?

[Danny G]

Okay, triple doink.

[Unknown]

I'm going to go a little off.

[Danny G]

The grid here and I apologize. I'm going to hit a nerve here. But it's in Japan. One of your favorite people, someone knocked out with a triple doink uppercut, then a left, then a right. Are you talking when James Buster Douglas.

[Rich Davis]

I'm sorry. Oh, we love that.

[Danny G]

Why would you need to bring that up right now? I was having such a nice day. And not only did it knock out Mike Tyson, he was never the same, he never recovered. And we're all sitting there, mouths wide open like holy. What just happened?

[Rich Davis]

It was a boom, boom, boom.

[Danny G]

See those, those shots are so powerful. I don't look at, look at them.

[Unknown]

As Yeah, I was going to say.

[Rich Davis]

Those don't bombs Caleb in Idaho. What's up, buddy? Hey, what's up, guys? So I got two playoff stats for.

[Danny G]

You regarding the Knicks.

[Rich Davis]

And these are from since 1999 when playoff play by play tracking started. So teams were 0 and 944 when trailing by 14 with 245 left in the game.

[Unknown]

And then teams were 0 in 14.

[Rich Davis]

By trailing by at least 9 with under a minute left in the game. All right, so a literal all time playoff joke job.

[Danny G]

You know what, when you think of.

[Unknown]

Those numbers, probability, Carl's page this morning.

[Danny G]

And then you think about the chances of that shot going in. Like I said, how many times would it take a dude, perfect globetrotter like moment. How many times do you think it would take to make that shot? That's insane that that happened.

[Unknown]

Think about if this was the Golden State warriors down 14 with three minutes to go. What does Steve Kerr do?

[Danny G]

You.

[Unknown]

Everybody's pulled because they're old, right? Why have Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler and them run around the floor?

[Rich Davis]

What a great point for two, you.

[Unknown]

Know, for the final two or three minutes. That's not who the Pacers are. So like, those stats are mind blowing. But how many times do teams just wave the white flag when they're down by 14 with three minutes left or nine points with a minute left? A lot of times teams are just like, we'll pack it in. And the Pacers not only don't back it in, they've done it now three times, once in each of the series they've been in.

[Rich Davis]

In these playoffs, I really think we are downplay Indiana because of. They're not, let's be honest. Indiana. Indiana. Not sexiest.

[Danny G]

We're caught up. We're caught up on the Knicks hype too. Yeah, no talking about all the old school heads. The old heads coming there to support. You know, you're having all this electricity at the Garden. We're from the east coast, so, yeah, we're. We're caught up in that excitement. The Pacers, what they did was insane.

[Rich Davis]

Well, let's go to E Dog in New York. I wouldn't be surprised if he's drunk from yesterday.

[Danny G]

I hate to. I hate to tell you this, but I'm sober for 28 years.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, okay.

[Danny G]

And the Knicks aren't. Mazel tov. Right. Hey, that's something to celebrate. Good for you.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Danny G]

Yeah, man, congrats. Okay. I'm. I'm attending my group anniversary on Friday and always welcome to go if you're sober. Happy for you, man.

[Unknown]

Gotta be sober.

[Rich Davis]

Now I feel way dumb for making a drinking joke. Jesus.

[Danny G]

Also, about these Knicks. Listen, they're not done. No, they're going to come back in game two. You're going to score a lot of points. And if the Knicks fall back behind, they can always catch up because that's what they did against Boston. And I hope nobody gets hurt on Indiana, but I'm a Reggie Mill fan too. But I'm glad that the Knicks are going to win game two, three, four and five. They're going to win in the five.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, you're. You're saying a back end gentleman sweep.

[Danny G]

You know, you have to.

[Unknown]

Rich, he's just. With Nick's enthusiasm.

[Danny G]

Exactly. Yeah. You have to imagine that when Brunson was sitting there with his wool cap on, his scullion pounding that, you know, in shock, that he's just mentally preparing himself to get mad, get angry and make sure they win the next game.

[Rich Davis]

By the way, what's the chances I make a drunk joke about a guy that's like, I've been sober for 28 years.

[Danny G]

That's just you. You're insensitive about 97%. Just. Rich, you were just like calling Foot in his mouth Davis. Dav. He can't control himself.

[Rich Davis]

That's what happens. See? Let's go to our buddy Dan Byer. Db, what's up?

[Danny G]

Hey, db.

[Unknown]

Just like that clip. Like. Yes. You got a lovely lady there next to you. And then they go to the. It's the old British clip and I'm.

[Rich Davis]

It's actually a man. Yeah, I'm a man. I love that clip, Dan.

[Danny G]

Oh, Foot is Mouth Davis tonight.

[Unknown]

Game two between the Thunder and Timberwolves is in Oklahoma City, 8:30 Eastern Time. Now the Thunder got to the Western Conference finals. They're up 10 by the way by beating the Nuggets in seven games in the western semis. That Nuggets team led by interim head coach David Adelman. Interim no more. Nuggets gave him the full time job today. He took over for the fired Michael Malone at the end of the regular season. Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals. On the ice. Stanley cup playoffs. Panthers and Canes from raleigh. That's at 8 o' clock eastern time. Florida's up 1 oh in that series. Jeff Blascho is the new head coach of the Chicago Blackhawks. Yankees top The Rangers today one nothing. Blue Jays seven six winners over the Padres and 11 San Diego. His lost six in a row. Phillies sweep a series from the rockies taking a four game set winning today 2 nothing at Coors and the Angels have just taken a 65 lead on the A's with a grand slam in the top of the seventh inning. That's what's going on in day baseball. The Halos, winners of their last six. The A's have lost eight in a row. It looked like that streak was coming to an end but that is not the case. Taylor Ward just hit a grand slam for the Halos. So it's now 65 in favor of of LA and the current format for the College Football Playoff is changing guys. The top four seeds in the rankings will now receive first round buys not the four highest rated conference champions. Giant sign third overall pick edge rusher Abdul Carter to his rookie deal.

[Rich Davis]

Back to you who's who's pitch for the Angels. Mel Clark Angels in the outfield Reference Kavino, you said you're too cool to watch that movie, right? Tony Danza. Tony Danza. Hey oh oh hey.

[Danny G]

Even I've never seen the that one.

[Rich Davis]

Even Tony Danza has never seen Angels in the Elf.

Cassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on Good Company, the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sud, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming. How she's turning so called niche into mainstream gold. Connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen.

[Danny G]

What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there's so many stories out there and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content. The term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen.

[Danny G]

All right, Kavino and Rich, I'm sorry, we were dancing to this, you know, Pac Man Jam.

[Rich Davis]

I can promise you that Rich was.

[Unknown]

Doing the swim in there.

[Rich Davis]

There's not a show on Fox Sports Radio or any network for that matter, that has more stupid fun than we do.

[Danny G]

Oh, man. And by the way, did you see the statues came in? We just broke the record for the word doink in one hour, man. Record holders.

[Rich Davis]

Guys, who hit you up? Eliza's Elias from the sports barrier said.

[Danny G]

We just broke the radio record. The most usage of the word doink in 49 minutes. We're live from the Fox Sports Radio studio and it's time for the tire rack play of the day. And I'm sure you know which one we're highlighting today. It was a premature choke sign that wound up working out in overtime.

[Rich Davis]

Two point game, six seconds to go. Halliburton driving. He's in the lane. He nearly lost it. He backs up and unloads a three.

[Unknown]

Oh, that did not happen.

[Rich Davis]

It hit the back of the rim, it popped high into the air and it dropped gently through the middle net. Gently through the net.

[Danny G]

I mean, that was a great description. That's exactly what happened.

[Rich Davis]

Gently.

[Unknown]

And then his stat team told him, hey, it's actually a two.

[Danny G]

Oh, boy.

[Rich Davis]

Hey, the Knicks hearts were ripped out on that one. As you know, Halliburton, Indiana got him courtesy of the Pacers radio network. That's the Tyrack play of the day. And for over 40 years, Tyrack's been taking care of you, helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where you drive drive ship fast and free backed by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation.

[Danny G]

Tirerack.com the way tire buying should be. Again we're Covino and Rich and it's time there's a search.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Danny G]

What we gonna do right here is go back back into time.

[Unknown]

Throwing it back for a Thursday Old School 150 hit hits at 50 after C&R. Give you the time capsule topic and we reminisce together.

[Danny G]

Hey, look at that. We're right on time for once. Yeah boy. When 50 hits on the clock. When 50 hits in life. Old school man.

[Rich Davis]

Old school.

[Danny G]

When 50 hits. We do it every Thursday. We get you involved at 87799 on Fox. And today we discuss arcade games. And as Iowa Sam hinted it, hinted at it. It's Pac Man 1980. On this day, Pac man became a thing out of Japan. And before Super Mario, everything was Pac Man. Before Sonic, before Sonic, before any of these iconic characters, Pac man was everything. I remember the arcade game like yesterday. But what I remember even more than that, Rich, was when Atari 2600 was the thing, or maybe you had Colecovision or Intellivision, whatever you had when it was part of the home console and you were able to play Pac man at home. That was. Yeah, that was next level. And not only Pac man, I thought.

[Rich Davis]

Ms. Pac man was almost better.

[Danny G]

Ms. Pac Man I think was more popular. To be honest. It was the Pac man rage of the 80s. Like I said, cartoons, Saturday morning cartoons, lunchboxes, T shirts, clothes. Pac man was everywhere. And what's crazy about it? Stuffed animals, right? Everything. If you were at the, the boardwalk, you're trying to win a Pac man something.

[Rich Davis]

Now listen.

[Danny G]

But you don't see really any signs of Pac man today.

[Rich Davis]

Here's the thing, you're a little older than me and people would know that by looking at you.

[Danny G]

Little older. A lot cooler though.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, kidding. But I'm, I'm more of a kid of the 80s and 90s. So my first gaming console was late.

[Danny G]

80S because if you don't recognize the.

[Rich Davis]

Popular Pac Man, I'm more late 80s, early 90s. So to me, to me, my first video game console was Nintendo. I missed Atari and I for that reason think that Pac man doesn't get enough credit. I feel like Mario has a billion dollar movie industry now. Sonic the Hedgehog, just crazy.

[Danny G]

The Bandicoot gets more props than Parappa. The Rapper gets more props than Pac Man. Pac man wasn't There.

[Rich Davis]

Was it Adam Sandler?

[Danny G]

What was that?

[Rich Davis]

That was a good one. Pixels.

[Danny G]

Yeah. Great movie. It was a great movie.

[Rich Davis]

Was that.

[Unknown]

Was that actually Pac man or was that something.

[Danny G]

No, he was involved. Okay. And it was so many different iterations of Pac man and what he looked like, like, in the game and on the cartoon and things like that. But Pac man was huge. It was iconic.

[Unknown]

It generated over $2.5 billion in quarters by the 1990s.

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

That's amazing.

[Danny G]

And like I said, a lot of coins. Remember playing it on Atari? Remember seeing it for the first time, being blown away. Like, you could play this at home.

[Rich Davis]

You have to bring those all to a coin, so I hope not.

[Danny G]

So based on the anniversary of Pac man, again, revolutionary game changer, pun intended. From 1980 on this day. If you can go back in time, Doc, if you can go back in time Marty McFly style, what's that one game you'd love to go back to experience for the first time? Oh, you could go back to Chuck E. Cheese or showbiz pizza place or that local arcade and experience that game for the first time. What would it be?

[Rich Davis]

You know, I think we could include arcades and home console, because I think that's. That's fair too. Yeah. I have an answer, and I think it's gonna be hard to beat. I'll throw it out there, and we'll take your feedback. I think when I was at the baseball card shop, the baseball card shop in my hometown also had a couple arcade games in it. When they said, we're bringing in this new game, NBA Jam, that was your jam. You could personalize the characters. Like there were special codes you could use. Like, you're like, wow, that actually looks like Tim Hardaway. Or, oh, wow, these that he can't buy a bucket. Like, that game was next level in my mind. So NBA Jam, number one on this guy's list. And we want to hear from you. 87799 on Fox. More convenience on Rich.

[Steve Covino]
