How are you going to get fired on your day off? Oh, man, you're calling out Tom Tibadoo. Tibadoo. Tibido having a bad day. How to hell you're going to get fired on your day off? No, no, they're fired after their best run in 25 years. Hope you're having a New York Mets sort of day. Lindor with the game. That's with the nice win yesterday. Not a Tibadoe sort of day. We'll explain. We have Shaq Diesel trivia. We have prizes to give away. We're Kavino and

Rich on Fox Sports Radio. And we be rocking out. Let's go doing it live. So Fox Sports Radio studio. Appreciate you guys hanging out with us, putting up with us, Kavino and Rich on the daily. Remember, we have a big party in June. Did you say something about pudding? No, I said putting up with us. Like putting. Putting up with us every day. For all these years, we appreciate it.

In fact, we're celebrating it with you, hopefully, in Vegas. June 20th, 21st, 22nd. Details at Covino Enrich. RSVP, we hope to see you there in Vegas at Circa. But thank you for being here in the meantime, in between time. And like I said, prizes to give a warm. way, things to discuss. Stupid questions to pose.

We're going to kick it off with two dumb hypotheticals. Two dumb questions, actually. Trust me. Yeah. Tibido, we're going to get to the NBA. We're going to get to a little follow-up. Yesterday we talked about the Savannah bananas and the Colorado Rockies. That was a heated discussion.

There's a follow-up that I think will nail the conversation shut. It has to do with attendance last night. So we're going to get to that. We're going to get to NBA, NFL, you name it. about it. But there's two questions to start the show with. Number one has to do with pizza. Well, we ordered pizza today for the cast and crew.

You did not have nothing. Yeah, we, Frenchman. Me, you, Danny. We did it. We, we. Who do we give credit to, Danny Jee? Our boy, Tripp. Trip again?

Yeah. He liked to debate so much yesterday about Rockies or bananas. he texted me said hey the order's going to be there for you same instructions you gave me on the order last time as far as which pizzas to get. He said but you got to tell Rich this message that this

pizza today came from a rocky, not a banana. Wow. I'll tell you what man. They got to say this though. I'm sorry if I stole your thunder were you try to pose it as your pizza? Yeah, it's the big deal. No, Tripp is the man. Hey, Tripp, on behalf of us

got pizza for everybody here Fox Sports Radio. We'll be partying with Tripp in Vegas. Obviously, free drinks on trip. Daddy Stacks buying pizzas for everybody. Really appreciate it. Thank you very much. And nothing better than when someone brings in a box of donuts

or cookies or pizza to the office. Everybody comes out, hey, what's going on? What's doing? Pizza? All right, man. We got paper plates. Everyone gets all fired up about it. It's nice team building and chemistry and camaraderie. And then I

heard Monsi say, and I quote, this is how you order pizza. That's right. This is how you do it. That's right. We don't need all this meat lover nonsense. Some cheese, some pepperoni. That's it. Why are you complicating it?

I mean, so it dawned on me that, yeah, she's making a point, a good point. However, what about the meat lovers? No, I don't disagree with Monsie one bit. If you want meat lovers, get a different meal. Pizza? I'm in New Yorker at heart. I live in L.A. now, but I'm a New Yorker. To me, I don't think any toppings are necessary.

I agree. So you get a grandma slice, a Sicilian slice, a slice of a piece of eat. Nope, then you're not doing it right now. No, I agree. The pepperoni has to be there. Just pepperoni and cheese. Pepperoni and cheese. And if you're not satisfied, then no pizza for you beat it.

Scrammel, I'm a ding-dong. So I do agree with you, Moncie, but I could imagine there's a lot of root and tooting meat lovers who want their meat. Where's my sausage? where's my meat? Right? There's a lot of people that want their meat. I think it's trash, to be honest. That's the first one.

That's the one that's least eaten here. It's the last one finished. Yeah, but it's also in Los Angeles where everybody's really foofy about their eating habits. I don't know if we're foofy here in this studio. If you go to a state that has like good pizza, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, like East Coast, Detroit, you go somewhere where the pizza's legit.

I agree with Montsey. It's plain? Or as we say in New York, regular. or Pep. Cabaroni. You don't need all this nonsense. Veggies lovers, meat lovers. Stop it.

That means. You know what it means? How about a barbecue chicken pizza? That's not pizza. Hamid pineapple pizza. Barbecue chicken pizza is not pizza. Have a different meal. Well, I guess the way to...

You don't want a slab of bacon on yours, Rich? None of this crap. To please everybody, I do agree. But I think you're also cutting out some other great options. I'm never one of those haters because you want pineapple. Why? If that's how you like it, why are you so mad about it? I'm not hating on it.

I'm saying if you want to appeal to the masses, if you're ordering pizza for a kid's birthday party for the office, for a fight night, all you need, regular or pepperoni. In fact, you know what I compare it to? It's like a good steak.

What do they say? A good steak only needs a little butter, salt, and pepper. You don't need dippings and sauces and all that. That means you're an idiot. That means you have no taste. You don't need fick fins. Okay, so that's just the point.

I don't even think it's a debate. there's one way to order pizza to keep everybody happy and if someone's not happy they could beat it they could take a hike I go to plain and pepperoni that's it

I reluctantly let me throw that word in there reluctantly go to way too many kids birthday parties having an eight year old and a five year old when you look at the pizza

at the end what's left over Monty's right the meat lovers and the veggie lover pizzas are like the yellow starburst like the banana laffy taffy it's like the one that no one wants You're honestly, when the parents like, it's the black licorice chuckle.

It's the black chuckle. It's the only one left. When the parents like, does anyone want to bring pizza home? Guess what's always left? Those two. Bingo. Why does pepperoni take precedence over sausage? Like, I think sausage is a better meat option than pepperoni.

Oh, see, so there is a debate. I don't think that's the, I feel like most people would say it's pepperoni. Like, I get you like the sausage. But again, that would be left over just for you. Yeah, Sam likes the sausage out here. That's the rumor around here. We know we need me. I'm just saying, I think sausage is better than pepperoni.

I like pepperoni. You know what, though? I bet if we went to, you know, Domino, Johnny Domino of Domino's or whoever, Marco from Marco's pizza. Old Johnny Domino? Yeah, you know, who's your favorite spotty? Who's your guy? Papa John? Yeah, we went to Papa John himself.

John's sure. Well, not anymore. He's the number two option or number one when it comes to toppings. So there's a. only one way to order pizza. It's not even up for debate. It's plain and pepperoni. Sure, you can get whatever you want.

That's fine. But when you're ordering for the masses, especially for a big sporting event, a pay-per-view, da-see. Well, because no one's going to say no to those options. Right. No one's going to be like,

oh, man, you only got plain and pepperoni, but people might say, the broccoli and sausage one. Well, for the record, to give it context, too. I love broccoli on my pizza. Anytime people order, pizza with meat on it. Monsi doesn't eat it because she doesn't eat meat. So she's always looking for the...

But she sure lacks the bones. But she's looking for the plain sizes. So you've got to have plain and pepperoni. The end. The end. What's your next dumb questioner point? For the fun of it, you know, you could chat GPT. You could Google it.

By far, the most popular pizza topping in the United States is pepperoni consistently ranks far ahead of any other topping. Mm-hmm. Among other pizza toppings. Chad GPT says he loves his vegetables. G-Pisa. Chad. Chad.

I love that, Chad. Stupid. Second dumb point before we get to the Knicks and Tibadoo, before we get to the whole Tibido story, as I continued to, you know, become the number one coach here at Fox Sports Radio. My God, you're really leaning into that.

And you wonder why Gottlie mean mugs you in the hallway. I think he does that no matter what, so it'll get into it. I hate that guy. And it's crazy because Rich has a 235 winning percentage. Stop it. You just said that. So I've noticed just from my daughter and son playing over the last couple of years,

something has gone away and I wonder when we decided to make the transition. Yeah, transition. Not Bruce Jenner style transition. It's okay. Something has gone away where? Yeah. In our practices or at the. ballpark or you're right they don't serve fat frogs and bubble oh bills anymore there is a transition

okay that the world of baseball and softball decided one day and everyone's like yeah you're right because i was thinking back to my little league days i mean we didn't have all the glory steveciv covino had 27 little league home runs it's quite an accomplishment i mean it's still a record i think union new jersey but do we all agree there was a year where everyone's like why are we wearing stirrups. Let's just get baseball socks. So what are your kids wearing? The socks with the stripes on them? Or just solid colored socks? Just for the fun of it, you realize, once you have to order a specialty sock, and you're like, where am I going to find this? They are all there on

Amazon. Like, we need to find black with, I believe it was like golden, like some special golden color stripe. And they're there. When my son was on the Colorado Rockies kids team, they have Rockies Purple. They have every sock. But when was the transition? So you got the sock with the stripe built in on it. Yeah. But when did we'd say, remember when you were a kid?

You didn't have those corny stirrups? I'd have to say it was around 94-95. That's my guess. When the strike happened, they came back without stirrups. Paul O'Neill was the batting champ. They had a year to think about it. And he came back with the socks with the stripe on the side. I'm only saying that from experience because I know for fact that was rocking the stirrups.

And then around 94. Before, it was the sock with the stripe. The illusion. And then they just said, no, solid color sock or solid color with horizontal stripes. However, every once in a while, there's a throwback guy who rocks the stirrues. I don't think they make them. I didn't even know what you were talking about. Really?

I had to look it up. No way. I was like, what is a stirrup? Moncie, that was like part of your little kid's baseball uniform. I don't remember. When I started playing softball, I don't remember this at all. So you always wear the, like, what, tube socks? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, softball players. Softball players were two socks sometimes with actual stripes. That's exactly what I would like. Right. So, or if your team was blue, you just have that color blue sock or with stripes. But when did the stirrup go away? I guess when we really went next level with the elastic technology, right?

So we didn't have the need for a stirrup. Danny, did you wear stirrups playing Little League? No. For real? No. Had the two and one. I'm looking here. It says the two and one was invented in the 70s. Oh, wow.

But not everybody was using them. You popularized for me in the mid to late 90s. Out of it. Because in high school, I was still wearing stirrups in the 90s. I think I was wearing like we had black stirrups. Yeah. And wow, I can't believe. Sam, you know what we mean by stirrups, right?

No, I had to look it up. What? I was just had a tall baseball sock, a tube sock. And yeah, you would tuck your pants in the sock. Now, I don't know the history, but I imagine back in the black stock. days, right? Back in the old timey times when Scoops Callahan was reporting, players couldn't keep their socks up so they would have stirrups to keep them up. I would imagine that's where and why it started. I'm making that up. That's my guess.

It says by the mid-century, more players wore their socks higher to reveal the white sock underneath. The advancement of colored dyes and heightened sense of fashion in society led to more colorful stirrups. So you'd have that stirrup on the bottom of your foot inside the cleats. I'll be on eye. Picture Darrell Strawberry, by the way, today on this day. Dude, any player from the 80s.

On this day, Darryl Strawberry was drafted by the Mets 45 years ago. And coincidentally, I tie it all together, guys. On this day, in 1851, the first baseball uniform debuted. The first ever baseball uniform before they were a basketball team,

the New York Knickerbockers, they wore straw hats, white shirts, and blue trowel So today was the first ever baseball uniform. But for a century, players wore stirrups. If you picture Mike Schmidt in the 80s, he was wearing that Philadelphia, Philly red stirrup. Anybody in the 60s 70s.

Don Maddie was rocking a navy blue Yankee stirrup. Here's a question then. And this isn't to knock anybody. It's generational, obviously. If you guys didn't know what stirrups are, what do you think the players, let's just say, what do you think George Brett was rocking of the 80s? anyone prior to, I don't know, 95? What do you think they were wearing?

Just regular socks or colored socks? Because you always saw the sock with that stirrup on it. Great example. If you just Google image George Brett in 1985, the first thing that comes up is his top baseball card. What do people think that is on his leg then? What did you think that was? That's funny.

And that's not a knock at all. I'm just wondering. I'm really wondering. Because I definitely wore stirrups all through high school and, you know, literally, obviously. By the college days, it was that sock, that one sock. But interesting that you brought it up, Rich, because I guess kids have completely abandoned. On the day we celebrate the first ever uniform, kids today have completely abandoned the stirrup.

It's no longer a thing. Look, at 80s when you're a little boy, Google image Steve Garvey 80s. What did you think those blue things on his legs were? I didn't, honestly, I didn't. See those rich until high school. Wow. Like the city I was in in Southern California, our field was pretty poor. We were lucky to have some nice colored socks that matched the uniform.

You were lucky to have shoes. Lucky to have socks. Yeah. We had to go to, what was it, played against sports to get most of our equipment. That's great, man. So, yeah, completely gone, huh? And by the way. For throwback reasons?

No, because kids all, if they're going to rock their pants more like knickers, they pull it up, they have it up to the knee and you'd see like the stripe or the solid sock, I know we're doing a little baseball history here on Fox Sports radio, but I'm shocked that the younger audience and the younger people here at Fox Sports don't know about the stirrup. And there were styles to wear it too, guys, right? Like some people wore it where you saw a lot of the color. And other people, you only saw the side.

The side of the stirrup. And that was sort of up to you. Pull it up real high. You know, sometimes Moncie now a guy will wear his baseball pants where you don't see sock at all. Yeah. And then other guys will almost pull it up to their knee. Sure.

Look up any 80s player. and you're going to, it's like I just broke the glass. Yeah. Like, name a player in the 80s that you think of like, Ozzie Smith, red stirrups. That's so funny. Like you just never, and as I, because I'm ordering all these uniforms for the kids' pony ball. And I'm like, man, we've come a long way. These sweet, like, striped, golden and black socks.

I'm like, I had stirrups. And I'm like, I wonder when stirrups went away. And here we are. Rich is, for reference, the coach of the West Hills Brown Stars. I mean, All-Star team. So he knows a thing or two. And as Kevin Hart says, you're going to learn something today. You learned how to order pizza, plain and pepperoni.

Only. Stop making it scientific. Stop trying to please everybody. That's it. Keep it simple, stupid. And the other question. Stirrups. Think of the past.

Have all the stirrups gone. And even more mind blasting is the fact and thought that people 30-ish or so. 30-ish and younger have no idea what that even is. Because even in Little League, they were probably told, oh, you're on the Pirates. Let's get plain yellow socks or black socks or something. The two-and-one socks. It reminds me of the fake football jerseys that my mom would get us. At the time, she was a single mom, couldn't afford the real NFL jersey.

So she got the shirt that looked like a jersey. The transition, Denny, was the stirrup and sock to the sock that looked like it had a stirrup on it. Yes. All right. So we actually got a lot of people calling up. Not even sure why. We're not giving away prizes yet. Pizza and stirrups.

Hot topics. Obviously. If you're rich, pizza and stirrup line. Yeah, exactly. over Tom Tibido. So we're going to get to that, but your thoughts on this, for sure. 87799 on Fox at Covino and Rich. The reality is everyone's talking about Tom Tibido.

We're going to get to it, but we figured why not give you a little Tom Tibido breather. A little break in the action. Talk about some pizza and stirrups. That's how I eat pizza, only in stirrups. Just stirrups, by the way.

We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it.

We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how did we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. We were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band.

Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down. Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, Hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.

But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis. And I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris.

every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on Clay. Jenchen win. I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lina Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now, and I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well, good luck.

Consider this your court side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential.

Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We are, Kavino and Rich.

Let's go to your feedback. We've been called worse, actually. We are going to get to Tibado and Nixon. Is this the best move ever? Is it the worst move? Well, we'll assess the whole thing. He just took them on that run. It makes no sense.

We're going to get to that, but two dumb stories. How do you go get fired on your day off? Yeah, Rich, I don't know whether to be impressed that the phone lines are loaded or embarrassed. Both. We can be both. You know what it is, Danny G. We just went dummy fishing and caught Trip, Andy, Marley, Bruno, Mitch, and a slew of other people. So hang tight. I'll tell you what. What we did was we unlocked the memory. And the memory that we unlocked was having to wear stirrups over your socks when you played Little League baseball. In fact, I hit up my high school pals and I said, yo guys, dumb thought that we're talking about on Fox Sports Radio.

What happened to the stirrup? And my buddy said, holy s. Crazy. I haven't thought of that. You unlock the memory. How people forget? He goes, I think there was a specific year in high school, late 90s, where one season we went from black socks, I'm sorry, black stirrups to the coat said, why don't we just wear black socks? So there was a time, I think, late 90s.

And if you try to backtrack it, you could look at your favorite stars. Picture big Jim Tomey. As a twin, as an Indian, the big barn door. Would they call him Jim Tomey? What do you think he was wearing on his calves? That big galo. it had stirrups on. Now there's a lot of young people thinking,

what the hell are stirrups? Which I'm shocked by. So I appreciate your honesty, because that makes the conversation is so much more fun. It's like when you tell a young person about Monica Lewinsky and the blue dress, people are like, what?

Oh, sit down. I got something to tell you. Wait, you don't know about the cigar story with Bill Clinton? What? No, what? Let me tell you. They don't teach you that in school.

I'm very excited to tell you what a stirrup is, young people, kiddos. Stirrup socks are basically normal socks with a huge hole cut in it for the entire foot. So you had the bottom of the stirrup in your cleat. Which was uncumphy. It was all bunched up depending on how you wore the stirrup.

In baseball, this is from AI. Baseball stirrups are socks worn over traditional sanitary socks, serving both a practical and stylistic purpose, originally designed to protect players from potential infections caused by dyes in colored socks. Injuries that would scrape the shins and stirrups provided an extra layer of protection and also an extra support to the sock. And it also displayed the color of the team you were playing for. So it was part of the uniform that you rarely see nowadays.

And Rich brought it to our attention because none of these little leaguers that he's coaching are wearing them at all. Like they don't exist anymore. It's like team specialized socks now. Nobody else on our network has this content. No, that's a fact. I just sent you guys all a video because I think is this a stirrup? It's an Oklahoma softball player. Don't worry, Moncie, because we're buying you some for Christmas.

Okay, thank you. But can you just look at this to you guys? So look at it when you get a chance. I didn't get it. I think I blocked you. Perfect. Thank you so much. I'm waiting for the text to come through.

87799 on Fox. On Twitter? Who checks Twitter? Because that's where I got the video. Oh, okay. 80-year-old white guy? All right, let's see. Moncey sent this up.

I don't know. I'm not a big Twitter guy. I'm always on X. At Covino and Rich, at Steve Covino. Yeah, yeah, she does. Right? Do you see it moving? Look at that.

So I'm shocked that people, it's generational. Some people don't know. Other people are like, what? Of course. Everybody wore stirrups back in the day in baseball. All right. Marley in Rochester. Let's start there.

What you got, bud? Yeah, man. I'm glad you bright stirred up that memory. I remember them from the late 80s into the 90s. I played Little League baseball and high school baseball. And we had different colors. You know, hey, the mighty, mighty, Southwest Coats, we were blue stirrups.

And with the Wilson Wildcast High School Baseball, man, we wore black. And that matched with the black and red, man, with the coats, it was blue and the yellow, man. You know, that's all that dope. I want to bring it back. You want to bring back the sturb. I see you can bring them on

order them on Amazon and stuff, man. I would rock those with the old baseball shorts and stuff. Man, that would look hot. And by the way, thank you, bud. Monty, appreciate great phone call. But Monty, you did prove that they still exist because this girl on Oklahoma is wearing them. Right, and that's what you're talking about.

Yeah. That's exactly what it is. Yep. But if you look around Major League Baseball now, I did, most players are showing no sock. Right? Like, Pete Alonso, he has, like, designer socks. Once in a while, like, Pete Alonzo will rock the higher baseball pant and he'll wear, like, special Mets socks with, like, the city skyline. Dodgers do that, too.

They got, like, the Palm Tree sock with the sun, the white and blue. Picture Otani. His pants are going down to the cleat. You're not seeing Otani's sock. though. It looks better with the sock. It does look better with the sock. I think it looks cooler. Now I wonder if Otani's wearing gold toes or bombus. What's going on? What is he doing?

I want to know. So is he wearing the Nike dry fits? Let's go back to the phones. 87799 on Fox and then we'll talk some NBA. Andy, Andy, Andy, Andy, Andy in Mississippi. What's up, Andy? Hey, buddy. Hey, guys. The sanitary hose also made the look a lot cleaner. So if you wore like tube socks that were white with the wrinkles and the the elastic in them and you wore

stirrups over those, it looked kind of bush league. So the sanitary hose made it a real smooth transition. But a funny story I have. I can't not laugh when you say sanitary hose. Rich only knows about unsanitary hose. Yeah, that's what I've heard. Everybody knows.

But my mom, my brother wanted his stirrups like a half inch thin. Yeah. A lot of the stirrups were wide. So she would take an old pair of underwear of his and get elastic from the underwear,

cut the stirrup at the bottom and sew the elastic of the underwear in between so he could pull them up even higher and make that stirrup almost like pencil thin. Some people wanted to do that. Yeah, he was pinstripe in his sock, basically. That's next level. It was a whole look.

Yeah, there was a definite look to it. And now, like Rich said, see, the sock or your pants are all the way down. Who was the first person you think of pants all the way down. Manny Ramirez? That's a good one. Yeah, Manny or C-C-Sabathia? Mani being Manny. For the Dodgers, Bonsie, I think it was Corey Seeger. I picture him with the low pants. And by the way, there is relevance.

It's not only that Rich is ordering uniforms for his little nose-picking team. Today is the anniversary of the uniform. First baseball uniform ever worn on this day in 1851. And it was a straw hat, a white shirt, and blue trousers by the New York Knickerbox. of baseball. Probably all made of wool. Very not breath, not breathable. No.

Sweety and itchy. All right. Let's say hi to Tripp in Vegas. Thank you for the pizza. Yeah, Tripp. Thank you so much, man. Plain and pepperoni.

That's how it's done. What's going on, gentlemen? I got a few things. I'll cover all this real quick. So I'm at the club being fans club. I got a new listener, John. He's going to hear this.

Oh, what's up? John. He's back up on I-heart radio. He'll hear. the shout out once the tape delays off. So the reason I send the cheese pizza, because I know that Monty is

a vegetarian and she may be single one day. Who knows? She's like to come to Vegas. And then the stirrups, I have a friend of mine at work, her son was going to, I was like, no, they're going to let him wear socks and shoes. I'm like, no, go get him cleats

and stirrups. And she's like, oh, my gosh, she was so happy. That's part of baseball. You know, what's interesting. I thought it was, man. I just was trying to figure out timeline-wise. We're sort of learning this together now, right? If I look back to our 80 superstars, like I said, Kirk Gibson, Paul Moliner, Ozzie Smith, George Brett,

Darryl Strawberry. They all wore stirrups. All of them. But if you look up, if you Google image, Frank Thomas, Ken Griffey Jr., that generation, all baseball pants down to the cleat. And I think when players started to choke sock again, the starp was gone.

There was a generation of that baggy pant, longer pant baseball uniform and the clue C.C. Sabathia would come out in his P.Js it looked like. And you know what? The stirrup was forever done. Unless you really, like you said, specially order it. The end. Just a little. Moving on. Crazy observation though.

And wild to think that there's a generation where they have no idea what that even is. Because I thought that was part of the uniform. You know what looks funny too when you look at old football videos of all the pads people used to wear that they don't now? Yeah. I find it to be careless in the NFL. You're not rocking your pads.

Like, you see some of, like, if you watch an old movie from the 80s and it's a football movie, you're like, what's with all the pads? Dude, somebody's, like, NFL players don't even wear, like, thigh pads or knee pads. Position players looked like, like, like, picture Al Bundy for Polkai. Like, all padded up. Polky, square. Again, it's part of the era. It's part of the look, too. It was meant for protection.

Like, what was it called? Like, you know, the neck braces that. Cowboy collar. Yeah, the cowboy collar they would wear. That went away. It just went away. So thanks again for your feedback and your phone calls on the anniversary of the uniform. We'll take two more phone calls and wrap it up.

In the NBA, we give the Michigan Wolverines, the Fab Five. We give them credit for changing the style of the long shorts and the NBA changed. Does King Griffey Jr. not get enough credit? Because every Griffey... He gets the backwards hat credit. The backwards hat, but also look at every picture of Griffey when you Google King Griffey Jr. Everything's a looser fit 1990s baseball pant and he was the man. He was the guy.

So, yeah, he probably doesn't get enough credit. But he gets the hat credit and they all sort of coincides, I think. All right, two more phone calls. Wrap it up. We got Bruno and Brooklyn. What's up, Bruno? Boy, CNR, we love you, man. Hey, down here in Brooklyn, hey, you guys had a nerve today with disturbs.

I love it. From when I was, you know, Little League to Connie Mac, and I don't know Connie Mack. Yeah. It's so funny. It's so funny. I didn't think anyone would get the reference. My buddy Rob hit me up.

I remember wearing baseball socks for the first time in Connie Mac, which we wore blue. Connie Mac. Connie Mac. And then right into high school, but here's the deal. I remember as a kid, so pumped to put the stirrups on because to your point, in the 80s when these guys are rocking these stirrups, you thought you were a big league when you got your stirrups. Yeah, exactly. You felt, and you always had, you rock them up in the knee, at least we did.

We rocked them to knee. But it was wild because our high school colors were blue and gold, and I'll never forget. they went with these navy socks and the bright gold I thought it was like WWE gold stirrups you know you look really crazy but it was cool

yeah well that was the other thing that's a great point another memory unlocked the accent color right the accent color went this way so I played for Union High School let's say right and it was maroon and gold so I had to have gold socks made of actual gold Danny Jay that's how

pimped I was and maroon stirrups to have that look so I'd have the Maroon stirrups with the gold sock. So thank you, Bruno. Bruno, let's go to Mitch to wrap it up. Mitch and Jersey, you're on the Kavino on Rich Show Fox Sports Radio. What's on Mitch? I'll give you three quick things.

Go ahead. First of the stirrups, they're bygones, right? They're in long pants. They're almost like gullible bottom. Yeah. Best pizza? Don't put anything on pizza. Just regular cheese.

New York pizza is the best. That's right. And with the Knicks and tips, it's ridiculous. is how about Tom's cat, Kate, he just, you're a center, not a wing player, play like a sonny, he's seven feet tall. They had to get another bigger guard because they walked all over a brunch thing, man. Too short. Great score of them. Thank you, Mitch.

Mitch, you know what? That's a perfect transition because after Moncie's update, we're going to dive into some NBA, but of course we need to get pizza and stirrup out of the way first. But, you know, we wanted to give you a timidough break because everyone's talking about it. Well, we didn't know that conversation would be such a hit with everybody. I thought it would be a passing sort of comment. Well, yeah, every line is still ringing and I'm not answering them right now. So we will talk Tom Tibido.

And there's two ways to look at it. I get it, right? But, I mean, they had a pretty sweet run. Best run in 25 years. Or did they? Well, we'll explain, but let's go to Moncey for an update. What's up, Monce? Yeah, well, the big story, guys, right?

Tom Tibido being relieved of his duties with the Knicks. Not only did he take them to their first East finals in 25 years. In four of the five years he was there, they went to the playoffs. He also led the Knicks to consecutive 50-plus win seasons for the first time since the 1990s. The Knicks extended Tibido this last summer on a deal that was supposed to take him through the 2027, 2028 season. He now finishes this time in New York with the fourth most wins by a coach in franchise history. A little NFL news for you.

Hey, Bryce Huff, he passes physical with the 49ers, so all good there. You know, it's pretty cool. Know what I love the fact that if he connect the dots when he was with the Jets and Robert Sallow. Oh, yeah. I mean, he performed really well as a jet under Robert Sala, re-united now in the Bay Area, which is awesome for the Niners. Absolutely, absolutely. Could be a big get.

Yes. Michael Parsons, not attending voluntary OTAs, but Brian Schoenheimer did say that he expects him to be present for mandatory mini-camp for the Cowboys. Baseball news, Diamondbacks ace, Corbyn Burns, goes on the 15-day IL with elbow inflammation. Yankees closer, Luke Weaver, expected to miss four to six weeks because of a hamstring injury. And Bryce Harper is back in the Phillies lineup. today following a five-game absence since taking a 95-mile-power fastball to his right elbow. So he's back in action. Back to you guys.

Hey, you know who else is back in action? Jazz Chisholm. Jazz chishol. Jazz is back. Did he get hit with a fastball? No. Oh, jazz. Hey, let me throw this in there.

Something we're going to get through next with the Tom Tibido story. A layer that a lot of people are not mentioning enough. Every year, isn't Tom Tibido consistently the coach voted player? The players vote the coach least likely they want to play for? In those player surveys. Yeah, but he's not trying to be their pal, man. He's trying to win some games. If you come up and, listen, if you look it up,

Tom Tibido has been consistently voted as the coach players would least likely want to play for in those anonymous NBA player surveys. You miss where Monsi said four of the last five years. They made the playoffs under him, though. Did you miss where I said? No one likes them. We'll get to all this next. Kavino and Rich right here on Fox Sports Radio.

Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news? Huge news. We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it.

We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Oh, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early,

names of our band before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, Hey Jonas.

And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris, every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on Clay. Jenchian win.

any surface, because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this. Consider this. your court-side seat to the French Open.

an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.

Within probably 10 days I'd put on 10 pounds, I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Steer it up, bro. Bob Marley's style. I'm wearing stirrups to work tomorrow. Bryce Harper. Bryce Harper, wears a high sock pulled up. Rich and I are playing a game off the air.

How do you visualize these players? Name a player and you got to think, ooh, what type of? of socks anywhere because it's it's such a weird thought that baseball which we consider you know not not the most flashy sport compared to the NBA in the NFL the only show of individuality in the world of major league baseball is do you wear long pants or baseball socks like i like all right if i was a jeter when you're a big jeter fan well hold on rich now that we brought it up i think i have to tell everybody something personal to me here on the fox sports radio I don't know if my parents are listening, but I am bisexual.

So when it comes to my socks, I wear high boys pulled up sometimes when I'm feeling like a down fool. Yeah, I pull them up real high and then sometimes I wear the low boys. I'm showing a lot of man like today. Look at that. That is true. Don't worry. I won't tell you your parents you're bisexual. I won't need stirrups when I wear the low boys like this. See, like a guy like Pete Alonzo, sometimes high sock, sometimes low pants. Sometimes it's just a mood, you know.

So right now, before we talk about Tom Tibado in his terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day, we are live from the Fox Sports Radio Studio, and it's time for our tire rack play of the day the Tigers, Kerry Carpenter had magic and his bat in a historic game for Detroit. Fly ball, white center field, deep. Roberts back at the fence looking up.

He leaps, and it's gone on a home run. three homer night for Kerry Carpenter. That's the winning play right there. All the nice home run, courtesy of Tigers Radio Network, one, two, three, nine prevented him from coming to the plate again for a chance at four. That's the Tyrax play of the day. For over 40 years, Tyrax's been helping customers find the right tires for how what and where they drive. Ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation.

Tyraq.com. The tire buying should be. Rich, can I ask one more stupid question? Please do. Why did Danny not pick when Boutto put away the Dodgers and extra innings last night? Because he still maybe mad about that. That wasn't historic. I mean, the Tigers.

Okay, fair enough. Harry Carpenter. Yeah, and it was 10-0. So Kerry Carpenter's first home run won that game. And by the way, Danny, Mets, Dodgers. That was such a good game. You know, I wouldn't be too bummed if they split this series. Because you know why?

It really is like playoff atmosphere baseball in June. It was pretty awesome. watching less. Came down to extras in those runners, the automatic runners on second base, which is a debate for another day. Tom Tibido is the big story of the day. We're going to get to this, I promise you. But since it's the anniversary of the official baseball uniform,

and we're talking uniforms, we spent so much time on it, I got in a debate with me and a few of my rock friends, right? I'm on Turbo 41 every night on SXM. Sorry to hear that? Yeah, I know. and ESPN did a documentary, like a short story about how someone broke the mold when it comes to different colored Yankee hats. And they credit Spike Lee 1996 for reaching out to George Steinbrenner to make sure that he could wear a red Yankee hat to match his outfit. And that was the turning point when the Yankees beat the Braves in 96.

So it wasn't Libisket. And I, as a rock fan and Yankee fan, I'm like, hey, that might be true and all that Spike Lee wore the Red Yankee hat. But when I think a Red Yankee hat, I think of Fred Durst, Lambiscuit, did it all for the Nocky. And all the Nocky girls with her puffy jackets and the Red Yankee hat. They credit Spike Lee, not one mention of Fred Durst. And I'm like, man, Fred Durst. Fred Durst. Get in no love.

Dirst brought it to the masses. If it wasn't for him, those hats. wouldn't be inside lids. You really think that? Because I think that too. But I'm like, maybe I'm biased here. I'm a Yankees fan, but I'm also a limp biscuit fan. Nothing against Spike Lee.

He's great. And he's great for New York sports. He's a huge fan. He gets the credit for that. If he was the first to go to Steinbrenner and say, is it okay? He's saying that he went to New Era first. And New Era was like, no, we can't do that because it's against, you know, the rules. Like, Yankees got blue hats.

So he went to the source. He went to Steinbrenner. Steinbrenner approved it. And after that, the first. floodgates open for different options for everybody, and that's where the turning point was. Wow. But I credit Fred Durst all the way. Nookie came out in 99 just for reference.

Interestingly enough. I'm wondering who you think of. Is the baseball hat the one piece of sporting equipment that also transcends into everyday life? Yeah. They also say the NY Yankees hat is the most famous sport hat in the world. Think about it. In other sports, basketball sneakers and baseball hats. Are those that league leaders have?

far as like regular people wear them, but it's technically sporting equipment? Yeah, it's the number one sporting equipment that has hit mainstream style. Or Zapatos de Tennis shoes. It's the baseball hat. There's no other, yes, the baseball hat for sure. Baseball hat. Yep. So anyway, I'm just wondering Fox Sports Radio Nation, when I say Red Yankee hat,

who do you think of? I think of Fred Durs too, so I'm with you. All right. Now, moving on. Tom Tibido fired after five seasons, four out of the five seasons in the playoffs, furthest they've gone since 1999, fresh off of a nice run.

They were in a lot of the games. They blew the first game. I mean, it took a lucky bounce to beat him in the first game. A miraculous bounce. Yeah, it was the luckiest bounce in the world. You got to keep that in mind when we're talking about this. Dude lost his job. I imagine Brunson

did like the guy. Your star player likes the guy. He defended him in a press conference. We'll get to that. Your thoughts on Tom Tibido being fired. We'll tell you We'll tell you what we think. Do you look at him as the success, failure? We'll go over all the angles right here next on Fox Sports Radio. Hey, guys, it's us.

The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it.

We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen.
