  Speaker 1: them on Thursdays, but we're not picking a game today.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: We're not picking tonight's football game, so we're good.

  Speaker 1: sure you want to do this particular topic? This is
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: going to be awful.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: It's going to be tricky because I love the list.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Google has given us the list of the most mispronounced
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: words in the U.S. So these are the most Google-searched
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: words because we don't know how to say it. The
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: problem is Cubby and I don't know how to say it.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: So we want to share the most mispronounced words.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: This is going to be a debacle.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: But we can't say them.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: But we can't say them. Or we think we know
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: we're saying them right. Well, the first one is probably
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: the hardest to say. And do you want to do
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: it or do you want me to do it? Where
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: do you want to go with this? Go.

  Speaker 2: You're trying to get me to say it.

  Speaker 1: All right. What's number two? You say that one.

  Speaker 1: I've always said gyro, too.

  Speaker 2: A hot dog.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: No.

  Speaker 1: Niche? Niche. I don't feel like... Do you mess that
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: word up?
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Well, I think it's because of the way it's written.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: So it looks like you could say, like, niche or something.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: It's niche. It's spelled N-I-C-H-E. Yeah, but it's niche. But
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: it's niche. Okay. Mm-hmm. Porsche.

  Speaker 1: Is number five. A lot of people just say Porsche.

  Speaker 1: I know.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: And that sounds weird to me.

  Speaker 1: I feel like I've heard that on the news.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I think I say Qatar on the news a lot.
