Welcome to the Audible

presented by Trader Joe's.

I'm Stuart Mandel with Bruce Feldman and Ralph Rousseau for our third episode of the week.

We are going to get into a controversy that erupted this week with a certain AP voter.

I feel like the AP poll keeps coming up now that we have the former AP poll guru on the show.

And then we are going to talk about some possible breakout performers in this weekend's

games and get to your mailbag.

Before I bring up the AP poll, Ralph, something I think that people are wondering.

Is it Clemson or as you like to say it, Clemson with a Z?

Yeah, so this is something that has come with that has dogged me for a long time.

When I had my own podcast, people used to, you know, let me know that I'm inserting a Z where

there is an S and they would generally call me a Yankee and say,

please do a better job of pronouncing our school.

Don't people usually insert a P into it normally?

Which is actually a good way to make sure you pronounce the S.

So that's actually a good trick. Like, there isn't a P in there,

but a lot of times, right. It sounds a little bit when you have a little bit of a southern

accent, like Clemson, Clemson. But I, I'm trying, folks. And I know last, the other, so it was

pointed out to me the other day that I was doing this. And then I listened to the episode and every time I heard

myself say Clemson, Clemson, it was going through my head like an ice pick. It was going

through my ear. So I'm doing the best I can. I will try to be better. It makes you feel any better.

Dan Wetzel for years, for years on his podcast would call Davosweeney, Davoswini.
