it's Williams in Bloom, presented by Meckddyne on the Cyclone Fanatic Podcast Network.

Hello and welcome to Williams and Bloom on a Wednesday.

If you've listened to this and some breaking news has happened between Sunday and Wednesday,

we're sorry, but I'll be in Dublin.

Bloom will be in the air, I'm sure as you're listening to this.

So we're recording on Sunday before I head out to Dublin on Monday.

So full disclosure, this is going to be a little bit evergreen, a K-state conversation, some Big 12 talk, but if there's any day-to-day breaking news... Did you say green? Jake, did you say green? I did say green. Good catch. Sla-An-cha! Sla-N-cha! Sla-Sla-an-cha. Slah-on-cha. Slah-on-cha.

Our guy, Zach, I can't take it anymore. I'm telling you how it sounds. Slaw, like

slaw with your pulled pork. This is, by the way, cheers in Irish. On, likes the switch on.

Cha, like one, two, cha, cha, cha, cha. Now, say it fast together, everybody. Salauncha. Laancha. Slauncha. Slauncha. They're going to... Zach's going to just... Zach's turned it us off right now. I'll never get it right. I was close, though. Well, hey, here's the old trick, by the way.

You learn this, too. It is game week. You learn this as an early age. I did it as well. When you don't know a pronunciation, just say it really fast and sell it hard. Yep. That was one of the earliest tools I learned in broadcast.

Just say it really fast.

Make it educated guests and do it with... Sell it.
