Do you anticipate missing? It's our care about That's all do I anticipate missy missing any of our activities in the coming weeks Me and I can't answer that I can only say that whatever my family needs That's that's what I'm going to provide, but I also understand what's Needed for me here. This isn't it. This is an exciting time We're just finished our first week guys are guys are excited to see leaders developing The new players that we brought on to the to the team and I'm confident that if I if I weren't able to be here that that we have people in place That that can support them and do those things. So I'm not sure what's going to be needed of me But I just know that I'm going to take the necessary steps With the people that I care about. That's my family and this team. I was my frable last week
Well, any potential future absences. He was right back to work yesterday. Yeah, at the facility After missing Saturday, we found out what he was up to we can get to that in a moment But some quite a bit as it turns out. Yeah, but some breaking news late last hour the Phillies have now fired their manager Rob Thompson and Well, you have to wonder and it's not hard to connect the dots people were already doing it the second core got fired here Looking at the Phillies looking at the meds. We talked about this yesterday and now there is a vacancy Phillies who have been horrible this year real bad. They're like the worst team in baseball. So Dumbrowski One of the words has a vacancy in Philly now. They've named Don Mattingley into a manager That probably doesn't mean much. Although Mattingley had a better run than I remembered with the Dodgers Mm-hmm. He won three divisions. He made the playoffs three times Cut those sideburns Mattingley. I mean he won 90 plus three different times. Oh, yeah Now then he went to the Marlins and was horrible. Well, I think anybody would have been so fair Right, so that's what I was gonna say. So with a real organization the Dodgers
Just like Korra was with the Red Sox just like it would be with the Phillies Mattingley was actually pretty effective So I wouldn't rule out he keeps the job. I also wonder like it's interesting a Korra might have this option for him I mean who knows maybe the meds will become available and that's another team that is struggling so Would you want to jump right back into it or like do you get paid to do nothing and tweet and go on Instagram and I think he was I think he was carrying himself the way he was here Which is why I want him fired twitch chat is saying well did you want him fired because he's a bad manager or did you want him Fire because he's checked out like pick a lane. I'm like. It's all the same lane. They were under they were under Way no, they were underachieving because he was checked out. Yeah, and maybe maybe like trying to line up his next just a lot of mini Protests He didn't like the way things were going and then rather than just like taking what he had trying to make the most of it You went the other way. Yeah, and like it's all the same thing. He wasn't invested. He didn't care about the job And so he was checked out and maybe maybe actively trying to get his next job I wonder if there's some a loser to being out for the whole year and then coming back maybe yeah But he probably never envisioned the Philly job would open like they're good
So he probably didn't and then they got off to a horrible start He's like, oh, let me start calling out these young player extensions and let me talk about how young we are Yeah, and let me complain about this over and over and over and over again. They go work for Dave Dumbrowski Go have cow swarper in your lineup. So yeah, I think a lot of people their knee jerk reaction is bad look for the red socks if he goes to Philly I would interpret that as bad look for Alex Korra I would I would liken it to as we did yesterday and we did at the end of last hour Jim Montgomery Yeah, this is like Jim Montgomery one foot out the door next job lined up five days later Yeah, he's hired with the St. Louis Blues St. Crab But even like Clodulean got a job right away. That was like instant. That's a good one right away But he was also when we're like all right that time had passed like he was not the right guy anymore You know tariff and cone ended up being really good. You're really good. I don't know how many more years in Boston He would have had I think he would have said the same thing like It kind of runs its course with some of these manager managers head coaches Very few are like billbell check very very few are like a 20 year run like usually you kind of burn hot
You have Korra Korra had a really long run. He did a red sock Seven plus years so down. He definitely did and so I'm with you if he Gets a job with somebody else right away. That's not like always a hot commodity like that's what a lot of people were saying Like oh you think like Chad Tracy's a better manager than Alex Korra. It's like I don't even know if they feel that he's like straight up in a vacuum a better manager But for this team right now. Yeah, probably is and by the way, I don't think Korra is gonna work in Philly We'll see but if he if he takes that job, I don't think it's gonna work But we'll see as always if he even gets that gig Don Mattingly had a better run with the Dodgers Well, that's obvious. No, Korra won a world series at least But Mattingly one more division with the Dodgers. Yeah, yeah Then Korra did here and Korra had more time here than Mattingly have with the Dodgers 617 777 9 793 7 so we'll see where that goes Meanwhile, we're gonna tear off this playlist from Diana Rossini that she shared with Mike. Yes, you made a Playlist for Mike in 2022. I'll turn on the page in the midst of a Titans 4 game losing streak
It was called turning the page as Keith said and it the playlist has since been Deleted no longer shared on Spotify. Okay, so we don't know that it was from Mike Raible But like do the math. It certainly is another bad look in many bad looks. Yeah for these two It was either from Mike Raible or her one-year-old son At the time, and I look like the kids into it, but like it could be for a minute for a little mic I'll go through these songs. I doubt it unlikely for the song. We're gonna find out and we're gonna tear these off Again, we're gonna go through one by one and we're gonna tear off the songs in the the turn in the page mix that Diana created for Mike. Yeah, I'm looking forward to that in 2022. We're gonna tear those off Coming up on a tier two's day at 1130. I'm sure Karen has thoughts on it at high noon We also have a key for bad just for you at 1245. So a lot coming up on a busy Jones and Keith show But these newest photos Keith. I found very amusing from the New York Post. Yeah, they came out yesterday afternoon Mike Raible was away from the team on Saturday. Right. We're all like what's he up to?
Is he at Cal? That's what I thought that's what they said That is what was said Mike Raible it turns out Keith was spotted buying a gift It says apparently for his wife. I'm not so sure. Yeah, how do we know that in Utah Just days after page six published cozy photos of him and sports reporter Diana Roussini at a bar in 2021 good shopping In Utah I've never been I know you've been to Utah once. I've been to Salt Lake. Yeah, they have sales tax That's why we went all the way out there. Uh, I don't know. They did some good show low alcohol beers Where were they? Oh, no, they were in Colorado and dumb and dumb or when they were doing all that great shopping and ask Yeah, I was sorry. That wasn't part city. That was Aspen Um, so maybe so I don't use these are even better than money I think it's world-class airport shopping is what I think in the Salt Lake air body I think that's what it is. Okay. As seen in new picks exclusively obtained by page six the New England Patriots head coach bought the present Believed to be for Jen rabble. They keep saying. Yeah, we don't really know unless rabble toll unless rabble like tip them off that guy's a guy's for my wife Buying something and it's for my wife. How would they know that? Yeah, so maybe rabble did tip them off
Believed to be for Jen rabble at the Salt Lake City International Airport on saturday when he was supposed to be at the draft Mike Reese said he'd be out of state It was implied it would be for counseling for sure was out of state But it turns out he was just shopping at the airport He's like listen, I'm sure sorry. I brought great shame to our family and embarrassed you and I've had a public or I've had a not so secret Affair for six years. Here's a sweatshirt My little sweatshirt who was still wearing his wedding ring. Oh That's good. Yeah, but sometimes like as you get bigger like my fingers You know they take them off swells up Yeah, you need like a lot. I'm real fit you in mind because that that scares me where I'm just like I'm stuck You know like something like that to metaphor. It's a good point. Keith. What is that? That's a good point What is it if Freud were to really weld it on to my hand dive deep? What am I actually saying about that? Yeah, I'm fidgeting with my cuz I'm like what if it's just stuck out there? That's not a good sign. You're constantly taking it off Yeah, but yeah, only for Abel's keeping his on Uh, he browsed the store called hip and humble
Hip and humble that's rabble don't you think he's both those things hip and very humble the first thing. Yeah, for sure And landed on a baby blue sweatsuit. Yeah, look nice. I like that color We when we were doing our uniforms a couple years ago. We've really That those spoke to us the baby blue uniform. I like the baby blue. I like a lot of orange as well as we came to find out colors though I don't like that Mike. I don't care for that Mike Titan didn't even think about Titan's colors great point. Yeah Now I said this was in our text chain yesterday when I saw this I said she should divorce them on the spot If this is the the like this is I'm sorry gift Kobe Bryant wanted you think that's what you wanted. Oh, no, maybe probably not he made a special trip for it Kobe Bryant rest in peace When he had his off-the-field stuff He got his wife like a 10 million dollar diamond ring now. I know Kobe's in a different tax bracket than rabble is Brable's made good money, but like 10 million dollar diamond or blue Sweat sweatshirt like a hoodie sweatsuit you got the pants are there the sweatsuit
The gap in between those things. Yeah, how dare you just a sweatshirt a sweatsuit maybe like a truck They're like a trip teams are not like pants and a hoodie. Yeah, so as far as I can tell she wasn't maybe she flew separately She's like maybe she left on like Thursday and he's like maybe I got to do the draft on Thursday Friday But I'll see you there Saturday. He's like hitting her back. Look, I'm really sorry open the back Oh, but she's like what is this? He's like oh, you shouldn't have like juicy pants loose. Is this a juicy? Yeah, I didn't put those on She's like I'm not gonna change in front of you for a long time get away from me But that's a but dazzled juicy across the ass. That's what he got her The former NFL linebacker who shared in the 2025 interview with the athletic that he and Jen own a home in Park City Utah for now. Yeah, might own Might use to own a home there. Yeah, he still owns it. Yeah for now. He made up your loud. Yeah, he leads half of it. Yeah Utah Where they like to ski and celebrate the holidays. That's nice. Mm-hmm And was snapped examining the lounge wear before making the purchase We're told Mike looked at the matching set for a brief moment. Yeah, I thought about it before yanking the items off the rack
And speed walking to the register to check out. Oh, he didn't steal them. That's good. That's another whole story He's the klepto now Why don't a rider this thing? He's actually in counseling for for petty theft He was dressed down in light jeans a blue puffer vest and a matching undershirt. Well Accessorizing with the baseball cap Black travel backpack and Nike sneakers good description. Thank you. Jen was not photographing Mike Wasn't there and it's unclear whether the married couple. What was that bill? I asked if he's not a word coach. Oh, maybe it was unclear whether the married couple reunited at any point during the trip If this was like maybe lunch break during the counseling and like a go do some light shopping You went to the airport on lunch break during counseling like a quick stop. He knows they have good eyes Work the next day. Yeah, they had good buys there So the other thing I was thinking about is I still think he's the coach of the team I think the coach the team is still gonna like play for them I think you know, we're talking a lot about it now. I think once the season gets rolling if they are winning And I know it's an if I think we'll we will start to kind of put it behind us a little bit
Curtis brought something up this morning. It's just like an AI video of like a fake touchdown celebration of like interlocking fingers Oh, I didn't know so I just got to be thinking that like I think variable does have a thick skin But like road games. It's just become such a punchline that you go to Buffalo for example Nice friendly place in Buffalo. Like what do you think is gonna be said to him? What is gonna like what are they're gonna signs? They're probably gonna play all these playlists. They're gonna play all these songs on the playlist Yeah, they already throw stuff on the field as it is But like hey, this is Diana's don't you think if like DJ more catches a touchdown and then he runs over and like interlocks fingers But Josh Allen. That's what I would do. Yeah, good. Yeah, like I think it's gonna be a lot of that And so it's like all right. How do you take that does it really matter? I don't know, but they're It's just gotten so much attention that I think it's gonna bleed into the season with stuff like that Yeah, like road games and whatever else no doubt Meanwhile, there's a daily male story Keith on top of this your post and daily male Is that one exciting better track record as a reporter daily male or Diana Rossini
Daily male kind of like that Daily males the way like TMZ used to be now TMZ is like right about everything daily male I'm not so sure about anyway. Go ahead, but better track record than Diana probably probably most people do Uh, they speculate that well robber craft won't want to make any changes that head coach and Mike Raible's probably gonna keep his job But if there's anything unforeseen and they change their minds The person they have their eyes on is a potential Mike Vrable replacement Mike Tomlin we were listening to the Patriots radio broadcast for the majority of the first half That would make sense if you were the head coach here or even eyeballing another mic So I have no idea if there's any truth to this or not, but let's play the game for a minute Would you like Mike Tomlin to replace Mike Vrable? No, not me neither. No. This is not what if I told you this They either promote Josh McDaniel's or hire Mike Tomlin. Oh, I take my time. I would take my time. Yeah, Doug Morales or Mike Tomlin Mike Tomlin It's what Williams or Mike Tomlin Mike Tomlin. Yeah, I would take Tomlin. I don't know. So like that's this thing It's like I guess I need to hear what the other good part of it is
But like well maybe actually maybe that's maybe that's the story right there. It's not they're not going to Josh McDaniel's They're looking outside the organization. I think that's best for everybody involved even for Josh McDaniel's like his best His best attribute as a coach in the NFL has been as an offensive coordinator So like let him do that Don't try to for like the fourth time make him a head coach. That's not gonna. I don't think it's gonna work. Okay Let's get to some of these phone calls. I'll say some call seven seven nine seven ninety-three seven. These should be good. Yeah Dean is in the car. Hello, Dean. Go ahead Dean Hey, how are we guys long time caller first time listener or Well, first time listener long time callers. Well, why are we talking about why are we talking about Rable guys. We got freaking we got the past we got the past Yeah, we got we got the seeds we got the socks we got the bees guys two of them are in the playoffs. What are we doing guys? Come on? Well, we talked about it's not a story ruins and Celtics yesterday. We talked about the Patriots draft yesterday We talked about Kora and the rest of the first hour. We talked about AJ Brown already. It's the it's the third story. We got to today But it was another new nugget not only the Spotify thing which is kind of funny
But this little detail in the daily mail about Mike Tomlin All right, that head coach of the Patriots. I find the whole thing pretty fascinating And he went from being like a guy with a 100% approval rating did everything right to now But yeah, he's been like dragged into the tabloids or he dragged himself into the tabloids or everyone to say But I think it's not worthy and now he's either tipping off the paparazzi insult lake or they're following him all the way like I think it's more that because it says he followed everywhere No, because the team had this whole charade like guys We're taking this very seriously so is he so is his family So he's gonna miss the draft and we're all like you don't miss the draft like yeah, it's okay He's available to him via phone and you're like well, that's weird. Oh, it's weird never mind He's not available to him during the phone But he's still very much doing that shopping for his wife. Hey, that's very much like come on. Yeah, so like that's it So I wouldn't be surprised at this point People are following him. Yeah. Oh, I everything's it's click bananas. It's certainly it's certainly fair game for the the paparazzi Yeah, to follow him around. Yeah, Joe isn't low. Hello Joe. Hey, Joe Hey guys Hey, so let me get this straight
I've rabled cheats on his wife then buys her a sweatsuit and tells her to get in the gym Say the last thing I don't think that's what he said you don't work out of a sweatsuit like that Well, if you really want to lose weight you do You go full sweats you actually have a trash bag actually just give it yeah, you give her like surround wrap Do you have a wrestling team in your high school? We did those kids were maniacs full alert. I wasn't on it But yeah, no, no, you'd see him. Yeah, and they'd be like working out with like trash bags throwing up and you're like that's fun That looks like a good sport guys real good by the way stuff Jones in the trash bag The years are all swollen We had one kid on the team here on their team. That wasn't very good. That's not swollen. That's in that's in him That's called flowery. Yeah, that's an infection. Yeah, you get that treated. You do they have to get him drained every once in a while They had a kid that they hated he wrestled it like 120. He was like a little guy He's happy, but he wouldn't always make weight and then catch him at lunch sitting there with like two cheeseburgers I'm like, what are you doing? He's like, I'll make weight Like you're not going to wait. This is like an hour stop eating burgers. That was scrappy. Do he was a high school wrestler
Yeah, he'd kick your ass. Oh, he would kill you don't you. I would just get in the fetal position. Play dead. Yeah, just a lot of bad strategy. He does whatever he is a wrestler. He does whatever he does That I just walk away Yeah, hopefully I walk away. Possum classic possum. Well, hopefully I walk normally after whatever happens happens and I walk away TV D on that. Yeah, it's up to him really. No doubt is what it is. Look up. This is an important one. Dan the breadman Oh, what's going on guys? So I'd like to take a stab at this playlist. Sure. Please opens up with Michael Jackson's dirty Diana That's a fiction Well fiction I don't know. We're like factor fiction I had the factor fiction Friday here on Jones to give us a lot of bad idea of breadman. Damn it. Breadman
We'll give you some credit on that. Yeah, we will Cursey at Dan the breadman. We're gonna do factor friction Friday Just throw a lot of fast facts there right? Diana is not on the playlist. No, it's not track one. I'm looking right at track one. It is by a different artist But we'll tear all we have 15 songs. We're looking at that No, a variable made a playlist for her it might be on there. She made a playlist for him correct So that's a different playlist. We're gonna tear off all the songs on Diana's playlist turn in the page for quote unquote Mike
