Solemn request for podcast hosts

[Da Boyz Mom]

I love listening to all the podcasts. I truly do. But it makes me insane that so many of the players' names get completely butchered. I know some of them are difficult but please try harder. There are pronunciation guides in the roster on gogriz.com and the players even pronounce their own names for you if you click on the little microphone button.

The main one that really gets me is Keali'i. It's pronounced KAY AH LEE EE. There's only one L and The last syllable is just simply an I which is pronounced EE. There are FOUR syllables in his name, not three. I realize Hawaiian names are hard but please try harder. For the love of God please. He's our star quarterback and everyone should know how to pronounce his name by now.

If all else fails and you just simply can't pronounce these names right give them a nickname or something. It's just a bad look.

OKAY RANT OVER PLEASE CARRY ON
(But also do better with their names thank you)

They also need to adjust their audio...maybe turn down the mics a bit...so not every movement or noise blows out your ear drums lol

 

[Griz Time]

I think you have discovered the problem. Ha.

But actually they're no better at the very beginning of the pod anyway.

They should use jersey numbers.

Might be seen ss disrespectful but not worse than mispronouncing their name over and over in my opinion.
