Hey folks, it's Mike Ryan and if you're watching our show, you've probably known your boy has undergone a little bit of a body transformation and I gotta tell ya Peloton has helped me on my fitness journey. It got the ball rolling for me because I watch my wife on the Peloton, she takes all these great classes, she has her favorite instructors, I listen to the music, I'm a big music guy, gets me fired up, makes me want to take part in this fitness phenomenon known as Peloton. Peloton offers a variety of challenging classes from four-week strength building classes to running cycling and everything in between.

Find your power with Peloton at OnePeloton.com. Split Notes is sponsored by Jimmy John's. They're finally here and they're hot. Try the new toasted sandwiches at Jimmy John's. Order one today.

Those sandwiches are delicious. I don't know if any were left. I saw people putting them in their pockets. It was some mess. Tony, did you miss out on the sandwiches? I had three of them, man. Okay, you had three of them. I saw people.

Got the chicken bacon ranch. I had the Italian. Roy, did you see anybody smuggling sandwiches? I felt like there was some sandwich smuggling going on. They're all gone. Okay. So I didn't see any sandwiches. There are chips though in the kitchen though.

Those are hidden. Juju, I imagine that the Stan Van Gundy, David Sampson segment was panned throughout the internet, that David Sampson loves to fire people and Stan Van Gundy being hopelessly out of touch with the fired man, I would imagine our audience didn't react very well to any of that. Yes, at first, when it first started,

I got, you edged people a little bit, like give it up for Stan Van Gundy. And then it was David Samson and the whole chat just turned against the whole show. Like, wait, I thought he was gone. But then like you said, once it got into the, the hiring and firings and how NBA coaches experiences experience it versus the chat experienced it. Yeah. It was pretty rough for my brother Stan, bro. Give my boy Stan some grace, audience.

No, there's no grace for Stan. Did we have a less popular moment than that today? Did anybody, were there any other criticisms levied against the show worth revisiting? Nah, that was pretty popular. Outside of this right here, like, I want you to think about this, the Billy Gills segment yesterday,

and you put Mike's father up yesterday next to George Clooney, Andrew Hawkins next to Method Man. Now close your eyes and imagine if we were doing that to women. I think we should not do that, you feel me? Objectifying men sometimes is just as critical in the Me Too era as the men, but hey,

the women, excuse me, but hey, keep on doing your thing. I don't think it's just as. But it's been done to women so long, we're evening it out, is what we're doing. Equality. We're balancing it. Equality. Let's give them a little taste of their own medicine.

By pining letrously about Method Man, this, I mean, okay, I just don't know, I don't know a lot of 50 year old plus people who appear in front of the Internet's judgment and get swooning I there there aren't many of them. I don't think male or female What do you got but but like you said by Danny Green said though? Method man has been revered in the black community as one of the most handsome men in the entire world for as long as he's been doing it.

So I think my brother Billy yesterday was a little, it's not that he didn't know too much, it's a too America situation. But what about Greg Cody thinking that Andrew Hawkins' name was Walter and having no idea who his colleague of many years is? Okay, he's not my colleague of many years. I've never met him. I've never been in the same room with him. I apologize.

I didn't know him by name. Greg, I am guessing that there is no one here that you have worked with over the last couple of years who works at Metal Arc whose name that you don't really know. Like among people who have spoken at microphones. If I keep putting them in front of you my guess is that you can name all of them except Walter Hawkins. Okay can you say that I have worked someone I have worked with if I literally haven't worked with him?

Well I thought you listened to our show like we know we know things that Michael Cody is someone who appears on your show. You haven't turned into the YouTube Friday morning at 9 a.m.? I had to put in a wifi password for him this morning. Well, I mean, come on. You changed wifi on me, nobody tells me. You know, I identified that wifi had been changed.

I just didn't know the new password or whatever. I do listen to your show whenever I'm on it, but I just happen to have heard Hawkins, the dulcet tones of Andrew Hawkins. I'm sure he's wonderful. Good looking guy. I think what Juju said is accurate though. Like why are people asking me who I think is better looking between two men? If that were asked, what do I think, who's better looking, Doris Burke or something? I'm glad we came back to Doris Burke or, you know, somebody else? I think we're gonna do Doris Day,

because then it would have been more- You like your ally? You like your ally, Juju? I'm just saying, sorry guys. That makes a good point. I'm glad we returned to this. I'm so thrilled. Your thoughts on Judy Garland.

I love her. She's great. Can we, those ruby slippers? Baby! Betty Davis. Okay, great, great. This is exactly what I wanted to do. Please, just keep naming starlets from the 30s.

I think we found an okay way to objectify women in the modern day. Doris Day, never my favorite. Okay, great. I think I know something that can bring us all together. Greg not knowing Hawkins is really Dan's fault because if he did a better job of introducing people andcing people and communicating who works here who doesn't work here then maybe like we would all know who everyone else is I think That's valid, and it's also valid for me to reiterate. I have never met Andrew Hawkins never been to the same

Walter I think we should that's my affectionate really here to us out everything is Dan's fault That's my affectionate nickname for him. Everything is Dan's fault. I agree with that. Yeah, you know what? I'd agree with it too. What else do we have in the way of NBA playoff talk? I don't feel like we can get too much of it around here. Juju, what observations do you have from the last couple of days worth mentioning?

Yeah, something else that was Dan's fault. Kyle Kuzma revenge game yesterday after going to offer the other day, he stepped up for the Milwaukee Bucks. I think that Doc Rivers, you know what I mean? He been doing it for so long. He might not see that Bobby Portis may need to be integrated into that starting lineup because right now the Indiana Pacers are jumping out so fast that by the time that he even gets in there, it's a lot of cleanup, spot up work. So salute to Kyle Kuzma. But I think the bucks are doing a little wrong lineup wise, but welcome back

Dam Liller as well. Wait, wait though, Juju, you just did something to me yesterday. I learned from Jessica that a legacy game can be inconclusive. Today I'm learning that there was a Kyle Kuzma revenge game that ended in a loss. Yeah, but it wasn't his fault. He didn't go over. If you watch that game, you would be like, damn, Kyle Kuzma was one of the pieces that actually kept them afloat during their. But can it be a revenge game if you lose it? I'm asking the question sincerely at Levitard Show. I understand you're putting a positive spin on things.

You're right. I called him a career loser and he got revenge on me, but they still lost and they and he's and he's a career loser. No one's going to remember game to Pacers versus Bucks, but everyone's going to remember the memes of Kyle Kuzma's offers. So I feel like he can get a little revenge. Meanwhile.

Okay. You feel me? I don't. My bad. Go ahead. No, please. No, I was going to switch gears a little bit and congratulate the sixth man of the year.

Like I told you a couple of weeks ago would be Peyton Pritchard. You feel me? Salute to my brother, Peyton Pritchard. Secret sauce, sixth man of the year. I salute your brother. How much does Boston love Peyton Pritchard, secret sauce, sixth man of the year. I salute your brother. How much does Boston love Peyton Pritchard? Like, he's gonna go right behind Larry Bird, is he not?

I believe Peyton Pritchard's more popular than Tatum. Mm. Maybe, baby, so they got the Pritch, please, posters up right now, selling numbers and doing things. It's all about the secret sauce in Boston. Shiremans of the world, Luke Cornets of the world. I'm sure what you guys are talking about. White guys. Yeah. White guys. One America. Also happy 48th birthday to you can't see me right now or can you? John Cena, you feel me? Big week for my boy. Also a white guy from Boston.

Polls, we need some polls updated here. What do we have for the day or the week that we have not gotten to? Uh, hold on one second. First poll from today's show is Greg Cody, the most fun of the columnists. Seventy eight percent of the audience says, yes, he is. Wow, I appreciate that.

Thank you, audience. Can you be named Budenhoz and be a good coach? Seventy four percent of the audience says, no, you cannot. The name really does work against him, right? If Belichick had been named Budenhouser, he would have won less, correct?

Football's different though. Is it? Yeah, football's different. You think that Budenhouser can be a winner in football? Yeah, of course. I totally disagree with this take. I think it's a strong name, Budenhouser. Wow.

It's a success and makes the name. The Bood. Bella check. The Bood. Yeah, I like that, Bood-nit. 47%, over or under on American households with a dog. That's crazy to me. Right.

53% of the audience says over. They knew it. Guys, does it not seem absurd to you that one out of every two American households has a dog? That does not seem strange to you. It does seem strange. It doesn't to me. If you were combining dogs or cats, like 47% of the dog

or a cat, then I would believe it. I'm not doing. So it is strange to you. I think it's a high. If you'd asked me for an over-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under-under at the soccer stuff while sucking at everything else. Yes, thank you. 86% of the audience says, yes, he is. We all agree on that. This is the only audience that doesn't respect him at all. No, they respect him, but they know he's got deficiencies in other places.

It's OK. Yeah, but they're just there to just bully him at all stops. He is so respected elsewhere. It's what our audience does best, Mike. You should know this as the leader of the bullies. Chris Whittingham is a fancy lad. I got a dog in me.
