If you leave a message after the tone, we may have to make it into a podcast. Hello, our little dialers.

Welcome back to Burn a phone. It's Des here with Nicole. Hey. No invisibleine in her mouth. You exposed me. Sorry. You can tell what I'm wearing them in an episode because I'll have like a crazy aggressive lisp more than usual.

Right. I'm almost done. I didn't visaline before. Did you? I did. And I wasn't paranoid about taking them out. I would literally take them out at the table, at the cellar, you know, put them on my pocket, very unhygienic, invisibleine etiquette.

I had. Well, part of it is I also know that, A, I know there's not going to be a lot of saliva and I don't want you to see that. I don't feel like we're there yet, but also I don't want to have the clicking sound and the saliva sound taking them out when I'm connected with the microphone. So I'm really sparing you. So for those for those that are wondering, so right before we started recording, Nicole said, look away. I have to take out my invisible. So I was, I wasn't allowed. out to see the invisible. It's too intimate. You can't see me weak.

Well, by the way, I was great for a while with my invisible retainer. And then, you know, you have a certain amount of retainers. And slowly they, I ended up with my final one and Hannah threw it out. That was a famous, famous moment there. Hannah threw up my final invisible line. And then listen, that was, that was a mistake. wasn't that was you know it wasn't her fault that I did not get a new one I didn't get a new one because I just kept procrastinating and now my bottoms because it was only my bottoms anyway I

need to go again so make sure to use your retainer out I guess she thought it was like I honestly I don't know it was a moment of madness if you ask me but um anyway uh if anybody out there is using Invis line you Nicole very important You need to maintain good retainer etiquette. Which is... Don't lose them. Keep using them. Because they will literally go back to the way that they were if you don't.

Simple as that. Yeah. I'm pretty good about it. I wasn't sure how it was going to go, but I'm pretty good about it. And I think it's because I have that discipline of having an unnamed injury and a surgery. And it takes a really long time to get better. you have to be, you know, on top of your shit for it to get better.

So I was like, I know I have that discipline in me from the surgery. So I think I had very, I had good discipline with the week, you know, the biweekly trays. But retainer wise, you know, you're on the same retainer. You got to make sure that you don't lose them. That's all I'll say. Doing my best. But they said that I might have to do like just a regular retainer for three months when my trays are done to kind of like lock them in place so they don't go back.

Yes. That's what I'm talking about. So I still have a few months ahead. I'm on tray A at tray eight out of nine. So I'm almost at the very end. But I think I'm going to have to do like adjustments. So there's still a lot of invisible in my future. So I can't, I can't lose them.

So here we are everybody. Now, Nicole, you had a magic yet a big moment because I, for everybody, just a sense of time and place. It's Wednesday at 2 p.m. which is two days and a few hours after two days and eight hours after the episode went live. And we have never, ever had as many messages from a prompt that we gave live on the episode. I have been bombarded with this random suggestion about words that people mispronounce that annoy you. It has been a bombardment, Nicole. Has it really?

An absolute. Did you not see the list that I sent you? Yeah, it is long, but this is, I think, we're not going to get through all these, but I just, I wanted to send as many as, like, it was, it was insane. This is only two, this is like, the episode's only been out for two days. And you know what? I think, I think we messed up our numbers because the amount of people that I think heard it and immediately stopped listening to.

to call in. Honestly, they were coming immediately. Like, they were coming in so fast. There wasn't enough time for some people to have listened to the full episode. I saw people commenting them, too. They were just like, I got to get this out. Right. But I feel like this prompt, like, I'm glad it resonated with people because it does really,

I know I said this last time, but it feels like the heart of this show is something that is so small and annoying that you are hit with on a daily basis that genuinely fills you with rage that cannot be controlled. Now, I want to say that it's not always, it's one of the main, one of the main chambers of the heart. But the heart has a few chambers. Sure. But I agree that I feel like the dialers are most passionate when that is the energy

of the prompt. So let's just get into, we have so many of these. And thanks everybody for messaging in. actually since it works so well to give the prompt out let's start with the prompt for next week which i want to shout out to quabi dot k k wabbi dot k who does these instagram posts where he's like gives out like ice breakers and he gives out like a series of ice breakers um and he was the inspiration behind the uh things that your 18 year old self would be embarrassed by that you do and also this one, which is going to be next week's prompt. This is the prompt for next week.

What's something you used to judge people for, but now you completely understand. What's something you used to judge people for, but now you completely understand. That's next week. This week came from Nicole. What are some words that you, what are some words that they drive you crazy that people mispronounce? But of course, how could I forget? If I'm giving out the prompt, It's 9175-1-2-1-7-8 plus 646-4-2-3-7-0-20 on WhatsApp if you're so inclined. Actually, I've got to be honest, there was so many on the Google. I did get some WhatsApps that I haven't actually that didn't make it in. So I apologize if there's any WhatsApp people.

But 9-1-7-5-1-2-1758 plus 64-6-4-2-370-0-0. Anyway, dealer's choice, Nicole. Let's get into it. I'm picking this one first because I have a feeling it's connected to Love Island. Oh, okay. So for words that are mispronounced, I have actually never, up until this point in my life, heard these words mispronounced in this way. But when I did hear it, I was dumbfounded. Like, I was like, you can't be serious.

But on Love Island, USA, which is over now, this season, one of the guys on the season said epitome instead of epitome. And I was like, it is clear to me that you have never used that word before in your life. and then the other one, I just about shut my TV off when the girl said that maybe they could come to a calm promise. A what? Instead of a compromise. Oh. I was like, and this is the problem. This is the problem with dating now.

It's that people don't even know how to say the word compromise, let alone actually. engage in one. You broke deals. That came across my desk recently that I thought should be mentioned on the on. That's very funny. I like that.

People don't even know how to say the word compromise, let alone engage in one. So, I mean, but honestly, both of them, I'm shocked. But this is the thing. You've got to be super good looking to be on Love Island, which means that it's just like,

you've been getting away with stuff. You really have been getting away with stuff. getting away with stuff, you know? And I don't want to say that everybody that goes on Love Island isn't intelligent because I feel like that's not fair. But I do feel that you're probably less inclined to get, you know, people that, like, engage their intellect as much as others, right? Totally.

I mean, there was a big, you didn't watch USA this season at all. I've never watched USA. God, you got to get in there. I know it's probably the worst one, but I would love to hear your feedback. Well, I hear all the guys are a bit red-pilled. I hear there's a little red pill. This season for sure. Yeah.

It was crazy. But yeah, so one of the big silly things that everyone was talking about the season is there's a girl who just graduated from nursing school, Kenzie, the one who's doing all the splits. I'm sure she's at least come across your feed. She really hasn't. It's funny. Like, it's just UK. Really? Just UK.

Oh, Oh, Oh. That's crazy. Yeah. It comes across my feed is at Love Island where they say compost, actually. That's,

I get compostable love island, not compostable love island. Uh-huh. But yeah, so she just graduated in nursing school and she got into an argument with one of the guys who I, he is kind of like Rob Roush adjacent. Like he's like a cowboy type.

But he is, I think I, if his, if I remember correctly, his job was like elevator installing or like repairing elevators. Um, decent job. And they got in a fight about what vision is better.

But she was wrong. Like she is basically was making an argument for the vision. It was wrong. Okay. So yeah, she claims that she had 2030 vision and that it was superior to Caleb's vision, which is 2013. So,

and he was like, no, I have like pilots vision. Like my vision is really good. And she was like, no, I'm a nurse. I just graduated nursing school. 20-30 is better. And then the whole internet just was in the other horror. Went crazy. Well, epitome? Epitome is inexcusable. Like, well, so, like, why are you using that word? Like, I don't even know how this happened.

Like, you've never said it out loud. Yeah, he never said it out loud. And never got checked with it. Now, I have to be honest, I have to wrap myself out. And there was a time where I said, hyperbole, there was a time in my life where I said hyperbole before I realized it was hyperbole. That did exist. So as much as I would like to completely rip on this guy. But I feel like I've been using epitome for a good portion of my life. But calm promise is unacceptable also. Yeah, that's bad.

But like honestly, this is not the, I'm glad that this has come up, but this is not the essence of the prompt in that like, I feel like these are words that these people have. There's no way that these people have used these words a lot because there's no way they wouldn't have been corrected strongly. Strongly. Yeah. I mean, the guy who used epitome sincere is like probably the most, I would say the most hated person on the season. Well, there's a couple. He's pretty up there.

But he's like famous for just using metaphors that make literally no sense. Right. And he really leans heavy into that. So hearing him say epitome was not a surprise, but it was painful for sure. So, Nicole, why have you been hiding this, like, Love Island obsession? It's actually very new. It's just very new. Well, because it ended.

And now I don't know what to do with my life. Wow. I had no idea. We could have done a Love Island review show. Yeah, but we're not watching the same ones. No, no, I know. But how'd I know that you were so passionate about it? I would have like, you know, we could have done some extra episodes because you're supposed to do yesteryear.

And by the way, I only got like five messages for the record. Just in case anybody wondered, what happened to our yesteryear episode? I got like five messages. It's over for yesterday. No yesteryear. Yeah. So, but anyway, I don't want to get too bogged down because we have so many, we have so many to get through. I've ratted myself out on Hyperbole.

It was a long time ago. So let's, let's keep it moving. I will say I did as a kid say fadadju instead of fatigue and my parents made fun of me really hard. But you're a kid. I know, but they still make fun of me to this day about fadadadju. Fatadju? Yeah. It sounds like fat shaming and anti-Semitic at the same time.

It was in a Pokemon game. It wasn't like something random I threw out there. I don't want it to be problematic. Okay, let me pick one of these. It's definitely not problematic, yeah. Okay, I'm so sorry. This is like my fourth time I'm calling out about this problem, but I just have so many.

I just thought of, and this one's maybe not like something people mispronounce, but I personally believe it is when British people say aluminum instead of aluminum, I dated a British guy once, and he actually, admitted that they say it wrong. There's not an extra syllable in there. We say it right,

but like, oh, I hate it. I hate it. Does does, wait, wait, wait, do you say aluminum? Or do you say aluminum? I don't know. Please let me know. My other ones are diabetes, instead of diabetes, washing, instead of washing, like washing clothes or something. And then the last one, which is the worst one, in my opinion, is 6 a.m. in the morning. Or, like, if you say, like, the time in the a.m. and then also you say in the morning, you don't need to say, like, 6 a.m. in the morning. You either say 6 a.m. in the morning. You either say 6 a.m.m.m. sticks in the morning. Okay, that's it. Love it's hard. Bye.

A few people messaging about in the morning. And numerous people messaging about diabetes. So what, like, what way are people saying it? I think what she's saying is diabetes is what she doesn't like. Right, yeah. Because a few people message in about diabetes. And I was like, what is the, I was wondering what the misprudence. So here's the thing about aluminum. So aluminum is one of those ones that I'm very aware is like two different pronunciations. So when I'm in Ireland, I say aluminum. And when I'm here, I say aluminum.

But who's admitting about the syllable? Let's let's let's let's get let's get the spelling up. Let's get the spelling up here. Because, you know, I'm just not, I'm not a hundred percent sure that she is. So that why does she think that they're wrong? Like aluminum is really a mispronunciation in the sense that it's clearly aluminum. A-L-U-M, alum, I-N-In, and then I-U-M-E-M-A-Lum. That is, I understand she has a bias towards the American pronunciation as an American.

And of course, I've admitted that I have no WhatsApp messages in here. So we're getting very sort of a U.S. North American centric pronunciations here. But let's call the spade a spade. If you want that extra syllable in there, it's there in the letters. You know, it is there. Yeah, or nay. Yeah, you're nay. Just so you guys know, Des looked so mad at the beginning of this prompt.

It was like another compost. No, I wasn't mad. I wasn't mad. He had a hand up. I was ready. I wasn't mad. I'm very, very happy with the dialogue. He was activated.

I was it very, oh, that's somehow, we don't use this language. But anyway, aluminum and all right, both fine with me, right? Because I'm culturally open-minded, particularly from, you know, listen, as I, as I said before, I'm not a big fan of, like, giving the English any credit, but like, the language does have their name on it. right? And it's a pretty bold statement to be like they say it wrong. That's a bold statement, right? Yeah, that is a bold statement. You know, but I very appreciate the dialer laughing away to myself during her message.

Don't think this comes across as any real anger in any way, shape, or form. This is at best, comedic frustration, which is a form of comedy. Comedic frustration. Larry David built a whole career on it. So anyway, I'm fine with aluminium. I'm fine with aluminum. What was her other one? Oh, the in the morning thing is very interesting.

Because it doesn't bother me if somebody says 6 a.m. in the morning. I mean, now I'm going to notice it. But yes, it is a kind of a twice situation. There's a couple of words that we say from another language that we say the word twice, basically. but they're not they're not coming to my head immediately but i know that there's some where you're like you know you don't need to say that because you've already said it but i can't think of them now panera bread like stuff like that yeah exactly stuff like that there's other ones too and there's like there's there's there's chinese ones also but that i that i remember but anyway that i can't

remember right now so yeah that doesn't bother me though 6 a.m in the morning you know, but I'm glad that it's noted now. By the way, I feel like this episode is going to make a lot of people like change the way they say things.

You know, because like once you're made aware, but let's take another. Let's keep it lit. Hey, just calling in about the prompt. Everybody's stressed. So I'm actually calling

about myself and not about other people that they find certain things that bother them. One of them is, is I say caramel. I don't say caramel. I know caramel is the right way. I tried to shift and start saying caramel, but it's not natural. It sounds like I'm trying to be British, even though that's how you say it. It's not even being British at all. It's just the right way to say it. But I grew up seeing caramel. My mom said that. My whole family says caramel, so I'm just stick to it, whatever. Another thing I also was someone who always did dip it in the butt until like two years ago, my boyfriend, he used one in a correct to me. He said, did you say but? I was like, yeah, isn't it like, but? And he's like, no, it's but. I was like, wow, my whole life was a lie. One more thing, I did say this, and another

prompt up to say it again, um, literally 25 years of my life, I thought that cornholio men butthole in Spanish, because my dad watched Beavis and Butthead, but I didn't know what the fuck that was. Anyways, so he always said, cornholio, my bud hole, like, or my bumble, I don't even know. That, that show was interesting. I never watched it, but I watched a clip. Because this year, my boyfriend told me, like, are you saying cornholing? I mean his butthole? And I was like, yeah. He's like, cornholio's from Beavis and Butthead.

I'm like, what are you talking about? I don't understand what that show is. And then he showed me a clip. And I was like, that can't be right. I called my dad that day. And this was like in January of this year. I was, dad, does Cornholio not mean butthole? He's like, no, it's from Beavis and Butthead.

Like, I swear you convince me that that's, what it met. And growing up, I wouldn't say it to everyone, but like, I knew that that was a term for it, but it was not. So, sorry, um, that this was really long, but I just wanted to say that literally my whole life, I thought cornholio met butthole in Spanish, but that's not the case at all. I definitely could have Google translated that. I understand that, but I never thought I needed to because that's what I believed my entire life. So yeah, that's all I wanted to say. Um, hope you're doing well. Wow, because amid the minute she said cornholio, I was like, it's bea's butt head.

You know it was Beavis and Butthead, right? Yeah. What was her first one? It was another one where, oh, Carmel. Carmel versus caramel and British people catching another stray saying I won't say caramel because it makes me sound British. Yeah. So I feel like when I was younger, I used to say Carmel.

You switched. I think I did. but I don't know, but I think I did. Because I think I used to, like, when like biblical shit would come up, like Mount Carmel, I used to kind of feel like that was, they were more similar than I would today. That's a, you know, I think I used to say Carmel. I really do. But caramel, which by the way, I was much more into caramel when I was younger.

You're not so much into it now. I've really moved on from Caramel, to be honest with you. What about my coffee? Oh, I can't stand it. I can't stand flavored coffee. Do you just do black coffee? I see, you sometimes I have milk and sometimes I have lattes, but I don't like putting a, like they actually make me kind of sick.

Like Hannah, Hannah likes like a vanilla latte, and then sometimes she'll still put like sweetener in it. But like to me, it just makes me sick, like too much perfume. Gives me that same sensation, you know? So I can't I can't do that. But when I was younger, I did. Like when I first started getting into coffee, I used to love mochas. Now I can't.

Like a mocha just makes me feel ill. I used to love hot chocolates too, but hot chocolates can be a bit much for me these days too. Just old man shit. It's sad, man. It's fucking sad. There's a lot about this life that gets sad or as you get older, you know? But anyway, so, well, thank you.

Carmel. I came up once, I think. One other time. Let's take another. I am obsessed with the prompt of what pronunciations irritate you because I just kind of stay irritated. And I'm a hairstylist. When people try to pronounce the word balliage, it's bad. They like to say baliage.

And I'm just like, honey, there's a... Can I delete this? I feel like there's other ones that I wasn't occurred. I know. How do you delete it? Okay, well, whatever. That's, I didn't realize that. She lost confidence in it as she went through.

What is a fallage? It's a balliage. So it's like a, and Dialer, forgive me if I'm wrong, but it's when your hair starts kind of dark and goes blonde at the bottom. It's kind of like a blended little. Right. Well, this is for me, this is more about learning a new word. I didn't know the word, polyage. Yeah, but I guess that's also like if it's her job and people come in asking for that and they say it wrong all the time, that probably is annoying. Yes. No, that's, I don't know why she lost confidence in it. It was interesting.

How do I delete this? So funny. Yeah. We've all been there. I feel bad now because I put it in, but anyway. Because I just read them. And if I, you know, I just, I, you know what happened? I actually was kind of curious because the Google voice transcription did not know what she was saying. So I was actually curious what, what she was talking about, actually. So, well, anyway, let's, let's keep it ticking over.

Although I have had a thought. And when it comes to me, I will say it. But what is your opinion on, like a word that. That's from another language, but we also use in English that like, do you pronounce it correctly? Like last night, for example, we bumped it. We were at the Mexican restaurant and we bumped into somebody that knew Hannah. And she was, I think, Mexican-American. And it's, I personally love it when, you know, speak in English.

And then when she got to the word tacos, she was like tacos, like, like immediate switch without thought, which I love, by the way. It's not a criticism. but when it's like when it's less natural, I think some people get put off by that. Whereas I love making the attempt at the proper pronunciation. What is your opinion? I usually don't because I feel like it's humiliating. And like my mom used to do that, like ordering food. Like I definitely, you know, I feel like maybe it's more of like a generational thing.

I could be wrong where like the older generations will like genuinely try. And I bet you're really good at actually hitting the pronunciation correctly. But I know it. Yeah. I don't even try because I'm like, this is humiliating. And they're going to be like, that's just simply not how you talk. Well, because now people make fun of me when I'm talking about China. And I'll be like, Beijing.

And they'll be like, what? It's Beijing. And I'm like, okay, whatever. I feel like, but like I'm pronouncing it correctly. Yes. We would make fun of like our friends in college who went abroad and started saying Barcelona. Oh, Barcelona.

I find it hard not to say Barcelona because I said it so long jokingly that now I always say Barcelona. I like to say thorveta. Even though I'm currently learning Latin American Spanish, but the book, the textbook is actually from Spain. So sometimes it makes me laugh because they're always like Zaveta and Barcelona.

But I find it hard to say Barcelona. I feel bad because it's Barcelona. You are right. No, but in fairness, like people are Mexico don't say Parthenona. They say Barcelona. So like, yeah.

I was just curious what people, what people's thoughts are on that. But anyway, let's keep, let's keep her lit. Burnaphone loves Rula. We love our association with Rula.

Well, my number one is when people say, I could care less. And that defeats the whole purpose of the saying because you're supposed to say, I couldn't care less. Like, I care so little. I literally couldn't care less. And people say, I could care less. I always try to restate it and say, oh, you couldn't care less. My husband's over here, flying at me. Number two is when people

say, oh yeah, I've seen that. Oh, yeah, I've seen where they, you know, you saw, honey, you saw. And then, oh, to go off of, oh, that sweet girl that doesn't want to point with you. Sorry, I'm about with names. She said espresso, and I'm going off of that and saying, especially. When people say, especially, drives me nuts. And the last one is from my loving sweet husband giving me. They go to Hilllook right now.

He says flick off instead of flip off. And I guess he says in order to do your finger like that, you essentially have to flick your middle finger up. So he says flick off. I asked his parents last night. And I also agree they say flick. So I just need some clarification on if it's flick or flip. And with last one, Rick and Morton. I'm not.

You said Rick and Morton. I don't know if you said this year. It's fault. No. And he's, mind you, he is a project manager for a commercial racing company.

So the fact that he doesn't know the term brick and mortar. He says Rick and Morton. It's not the same thing, though. I wasn't saying that. What were you saying? He can order me. They're not retorted.

What were you saying? I wasn't saying anything like that. Okay, bye. Honestly, and that was Get them on the pod. Yeah, right? Like, we need to do like one of those Esther Perel episodes where we like get the couple to deal with this pronunciation issues. Oh, that was so nice.

Matt, sweet girl that you do the pod with Nicole. Amazing accent. Oh, my God. I was so sued. Nicole, that's your new nickname, sweet. But then she called her husband sweet too. You and her husband are in like the same bracket of. sweetness. Yeah, but sweet could also be derogatory with that accent. Like that, I feel like that's

kind of like, bless your heart where it's kind of a slam, you know. But anyway, that was, that was awesome. Okay. Uh, I couldn't care less. That does, that is one that actually when, you know, because I've heard people discuss this topic before. Like, that's like, that's probably a top five. because a lot of people say I could care less. And it is frustrating because, now, I kind of get, I understand it doesn't make sense.

But I guess, I always say I couldn't care less, but I guess I get it in the sense that it's like a hint of sarcasm, you know, maybe with the I could care less. And it is just as effective because we've become so used to sort of hearing it both ways that we just assume it's the same. But yeah, I couldn't care less.

My mother was a big guy. I couldn't care less. You know? That was like, that was one of her biggies. The, oh yeah, I've seen it versus I saw it. But I have seen it. It's not incorrect grammar, right? It's just like unnecessarily complicated grammar.

I think so. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that both are acceptable. But people saying I seen it, though, that's bad grammar. Yeah, that's tough. This also triggered me to think about online versus inline. Oh. Which is, I guess, more regional than anything. Is it?

I feel like it depends on where you're from if you say I'm online or I'm in line. You disagree? No, I know I'm, I was actually trying to think. I would have to now encounter needing to say that without being in this situation to know what I say. Because in Ireland, we say Q. But I think some people might say, I'm on the queue or I'm in the queue. But I think in the queue is the more common one. I'm online.

I'm in line. Yeah. I think I've used both, you know. But I wouldn't say get online. I would say get in line. You know, get in line. Get in line, buddy. I'm not saying get online, buddy. I'm saying get in line. Get in line.

But I probably said online. So being online bothers you? I would say so, yeah. But I know it's like it really just depends on where you're from. I want to say like Long Island is a place that does online, but I could be wrong. I feel like I have friends who say online, but it's not like I'm correcting them because, you know, everybody says it different. I'm just like, well, it is wrong. but, you know, I'll just keep it to myself.

I'll just keep it to myself. Yeah. No, it's a fun thing to notice. You know? Because, you know, I never even paid attention to the fact that I say both. Yeah, I thought that it, this might be something you relate to more being from Queens. But, yeah, Sue, if you're in the New York City metropolitan area, online is kind of normal. So New York, New York City, Long Island, New Jersey, Philly.

Those are like common areas where they'd say online. Wow. Okay. So we've spotted a regional variation. We're getting all the shame now? You want to fucking, you want to rip on fucking, you know, you want to rip on Irish pronunciation. She has fucking regional variations too. Okay.

I reckon it's not a problem. Very good, though. I never noticed. I never paid attention to that one. There's so many of these fun little things. things that pop up. All right, let's keep it ripping. Let's keep ripping through them. Hi, does Nicole. Love the podcast. I have three, but a word that, and you're probably going to get it a lot, is when people say especially. So like espresso, people will say

especially instead of especially. And then if someone who lived in Illinois for 24 years, it's not Illinois. It's Illinois. And then for the sayings that people mess up, the one that drives me absolutely nuts is I could care less.

I didn't realize that these were so similar. It's not I could care less if I couldn't care less. Anyways, love the pod. Thanks guys. But you know what's so interesting. She's very aligned through our previous caller. I didn't realize. And also, For the record, we forgot to mention about the flicking, you know, flick off.

And we forgot to talk about the ex-specialy. I think that's a common one, especially versus especially. Yeah, there's a lot of that. I think when I was younger, I used to say especially. I think, I don't know. Yeah. You know, I'm not exactly sure. I picked this one because I heard someone say Des Moines recently.

No. Yeah. I have a special relationship with Des Moines, Iowa, even though I've never been in the state of Iowa. Okay. Or to the city of Des Moines. But whenever I Google myself, anything religious that happens in Des Moines shows up in my Google results. Why? They don't be like the Bishop of Des Moines because of the Des.

Oh, right. Me and Des Moines are very connected. Wow. Yeah, Illinois. Yeah, I think, you know, that would be annoying 100%. All right. Let's keep ripping through them. I didn't realize we had such a crossover on that one.

It does. Hey, Nicole. I'm just listening and I wanted to follow up on Nicole's suggestion for words that people say wrong. I had a professor in college who always would say finance instead of finance. And I just feel like it makes you sound like such an asshole. But hey, maybe that's just me. Okay, thanks. Yeah, so I always say finance, but like I hear people say finance.

And I don't, what's the situation there? The difference of the usage? Well, like, is finance incorrect? Because it never bothers me when somebody says finance, but is there a certain situation where you're supposed to say finance? Or is that like, you know, like, I'm trying to think in Ireland, did they say the department of finance? Is it, is it, is this a cross the pond thing? it might just be another British thing,

although it does say that it's often used by finance academics and corporate professionals to say finance. To say finance. I wonder why. Yeah. It's interesting. Because this one coming up took me by surprise,

I have to say. Yeah. Because like when somebody says finance, I feel, there's a part of me that feels like when they're talking politically over in Ireland, they say the Department of Finance. but I could be wrong. This is the problem I get jumbled up with the different pronunciations.

But I would naturally say finance. I wouldn't say finance. But I would say fiduciary, even though I still really don't know what a fiduciary is. Right. I wouldn't say fiduciary. I would say fiduciary. This is a new word for me.

I don't think I've ever heard of this. I don't really even know what a fiduciary is. It just always comes up on these commercials. You know? One of them is like, Oh, we're a fiduciary. Anyway, it's just actually a funny word. So I just started saying it out loud.

And finance isn't my strong point. But well spotted. It's great to just see these things that people notice. Let's keep ripping through. Yeah, this just made me text my best friend from college also because it reminded me that one of my coaches pronounced something in such a crazy way. So hopefully she'll respond before the end of this. but I'm like, oh, what was it?

Because it was something that was just so horrible. And I was reminded about this prompt. Yeah, everyone's dealing with a lot of childhood trauma throughout this whole prompt. Everybody that message in is like, this is the highest level of cortisol that we've had on every message. It's like, oh, God, this word. Hey, guys, as a former glasses wearer, I have to say that I always found finding a good pair of frames really annoying and difficult. I only wish that I had access to Warby Parker. amazing tools for trying on glasses. You know they have this cool virtual try-on where you can

I've called before, but I just heard Nicole said to call and leave a message about

a word that people pronounce wrong that makes you really mad. She already said expresso, which triggered me. But then I also thought I hate when people say library instead of library. So that's my first thing. Second of all, I get really mad. This is more of a phrase, but I get really mad when people say they could care less. Because obviously I couldn't care less because like if you actually break it down and like define it, it makes more sense to be I couldn't care less.

So I just get really mad when people say that because it's just not, it's not what it means. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed. You know, I guess we have a winner for the thing that bothers people the most. I couldn't care less. I couldn't care less if people say library or library. I feel like as a child, I used to say library. It's cute as a child when you say library. But if you're a grown up and you say library, why are you saying library?

Yeah, library. But what about the second month of the year? Oh, no. February? Yeah, I guess I think I say February. I don't know, though. When you think about it, February. I don't know how I actually say it.

How do you say the thing, you know, if you're watching like a movie on Netflix that's about like a real life event and starts with doc? Documentary? I think, how do I say, I say document. I think I say documentary. Not with that, not with that like flow, but I say- No, I think American say- And elementary, which is freaky. Oh, I say elementary.

I can't get it out of my voice, though. I say documentary, elementary school? Yeah. Well, but that's, definitely in Ireland, all those words finished sort of similar to the way I'm saying.

But I don't know, so doc. People make fun to me for saying those. So you say documentary? Doc, I watched a documentary. Documentary. Maybe I say document.

Documentary. Or did I say documentary? No, documentary. I watched a documentary and I went to elementary. But people make fun of that, because I think more people do documentary or I went to elementary school. Yes. But I don't know why. My voice is just kind of stuck with those.

Yeah. Well, that's no problem. Actually, do you want to play the R-E-A-L-I-Z-E or S-E-E-1? Hey, okay, just started the episode about things that your 18-year-old self would hate, whatever. I literally just started it laughing. at the compost call, and I thought, wow, there's something that Despa's that I absolutely can't stand the way he says it, too, and he says it all of the time, and then you said it, like, 10 seconds after I thought about that, it's real eyes. You say real eyes, and it reminds me

of that, like, phrase or whatever, real, oh, God, now I'm going to butcher it. It's like real eyes, realize or something? So stupid. I don't know. But anyway, it's, And I fully agree that everything about Europe is superior. We live in the most God-for-saint country on the planet. So no shade. You probably are correct. But every time you say, real eyes, or no, you say real eyes, I didn't real, now I don't know what you say.

Now I don't know what I say. But anyway, good. But that's okay because we love you. We love the pod. I'm a great one. So it's not a British or not American. thing or Irish thing. That's the one that I've been kind of like made fun.

I've been lighthearted way all my life. I say realize that I kind of, I emphasize what most people can see, consider to be the wrong part, realize. I actually stopped myself saying it there two seconds ago because I knew that it was going to come up. But that is the way that I say it, but people do make fun of it. Even Australia, my promoter in Australia used to make fun of me, realize. It's just the way I'd say it.

I don't know where that came from, but that is the way I say it, and it has stuck. Realize. Realize, I guess, is the way that you would say it, but I just say realize. But it's quite a fun word to mispronounce. I don't think I've ever clocked that you do that. Yeah. I feel like it got mentioned before, but it's very relevant to this particular episode. It cracks me up as being like, I didn't realize.

I didn't. No. It, like, makes me laugh at, like, people being like, I can't stand out. how Des says this. Like listening to the show. I know, but it really, it really makes me laugh when that comes up like that. That's great.

Well, when we first started Burnaphone, and like all pods, like when you change, you know, so it was burning in hell. I used to get more of like the people being like,

I used to love this pot, but I can't stand the way Des does this. Because when you're like the new kid in town, you get like, you get a lot of focus. You got a lot of eyes. I are because people don't like change. So I think maybe it came up then.

Trauma. But anyway, if you're speaking, that's the whole thing. This episode is very paranoia-inducing, right? Because you're speaking so much. People are listening to you all the time. Every oddity about the way you speak, the way you say things, the sounds that you make, they're going to come out at some stage, you know? And then when you do an episode like this, then you're just like,

you start becoming paranoid about every fucking word you say. Especially because once you start thinking about how you say them, you can't even remember how you say that. You actually like lose confidence in the word. You know what I mean? We're like fully going into psychosis this episode. Like there have been multiple times where we're like, no, I say it like, but I say like, actually I say it like.

Exactly. But even that just happened to the last dialer. You start to question yourself because once you think about it, you know? Like once you think about it. So a lot of times people say like, oh, how do you say this? And it's like, well, it has to happen naturally. Because people always ask New Yorkers to say coffee, right? But then like, you're like, how do I say this?

It was like, well, I'm going to perform for you. I'm going to be like coffee. You know, I'm going to deliberately. But if we're just talking, we say coffee, it's actually not that different, but in my mind it is. You know what I mean? So let's take some more. Hey, guys, love the pod.

And my word that people incorrectly pronounce is supposedly. I had a co-worker that used to say that all the time used to try me crazy. Like, supposedly, you were supposed to be an educated person, but you keep going around saying supposedly. Bye. What were you supposed to say? Supposedly with a D. Oh, what were they saying? Supposedly with a B.

Oh, supposedly. I couldn't hear it properly, actually. Oh, okay. Oh, supposedly. Really? You haven't encountered supposedly? I guess maybe I have, but I'm not. That's a good one, though. That's a big, that's a big miss. Oh, so that's up there. Is it supposedly? Yeah, that bothers me for sure. Yeah, that would bother me. I haven't encountered that much, supposedly. But that one, too, like the ones like that, it's like, it's not how. you spell it. It's a totally different letter.

So those ones I think are the ones that bother me the most where it's like, have you ever written this down? Because why are you saying supposedly? Yeah. But when they write it down, are they writing it with a B? Are they not noticing the red line? I mean, yeah, let us

know because if this is your co-worker, perhaps they put supposedly in an email. What do you reckon? The top three words that you keep getting wrong when you type on Microsoft Word or Google Doc. What are the top three words? I got to say one of mine is probably Recommend. I feel like recommend

has came up quite a bit in my life as being spent every time I'm like, I must remember that for the next time and then I don't remember. Any thoughts, Nicole? Mine would be restaurant. Oh, yeah. And also, it's not that I spell this wrong, but I have to say Wednesday when I write down Wednesday.

When I write it down, I nearly brought up Wednesday earlier. I nearly brought up Wednesday. day. You got to say if you're not saying Wednesday when you're typing, you're not typing.

Scro's not I'm concerned. Everybody knows it's a wednes day once you got the fucking fingers to the keyboard or the finger on the pen. It's a wednes day. It's a wednesday here on Burnerphone. Don't forget to give us a call. Don't forget to give us a call on 9-175-1-2-17-8

or if you're international plus 6464-2370-20. We're actually recording on Wednesday as it turns out. It's Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday, July 22nd. We've lost him. He's gone. Yeah, there's a few words like that. I actually, I feel like I exaggerate library. There's a few words.

There's other words that are like that way, like, I know how they sound. But then when I'm like, when I'm writing them, I sounded out for the proper spelling. Um, but, uh, any, any other top five miss, misspelled? I, there's, there's another one. I have to remember it that I just, I'm like, I'm just slamming the keys until autocorrect does this because there's so many, it's ones that have repeated letters where I'm like, I'm not totally sure. Even like Tennessee and stuff like that. I'm like, oh yeah, Tennessee. I'm lost. Mississippi I got because we had that like little silly song.

Am I as the size as IPPI? IPP, I-S-I-S-I-M, it never leaves you. Oh, my God. You could do it backwards? Well, because we made it a thing. That's crazy. Yeah. Do you ever think about, so can you do the alphabet backwards?

No. Me neither. I never practiced it. I never practiced. The fact that that's a part of like a drunk driving test. That's insane. It's impossible. It's like I haven't drank it 30 years.

Or like counting down or what is it? Is it the alphabet? Not that I'm drunk driving. No, it can't be the alphabet. You know, I always count backwards from 100 in the languages that I know to help me get to sleep. But I very rarely... You know so many languages. How long is it taking you fall of sleep?

I very rarely make it to 80 because I usually fall asleep. You know? Which language do you start with, whatever you're in the mood for? No, whatever I'm like learning, you know, whatever I'm trying to get better at all the time. I consider it like a brain trick to, like, help my brain start to, like... think in that language. Anyway, we'll come back to that top five misspelled words.

That you're just one of those words that just, oh, what about like program, like program, program? Like when is it the AM and when is it the AMME? You've stumbled on something here. What really makes me mad is Premiere.

Oh, so, okay, so that's a biggie for me. That's actually more the word that I was thinking of. Yeah. premiere of like especially because right now we're in a time where it's like watch the YouTube premiere yes and everyone keeps doing it without an E at the end yes and I had to Google that

before my YouTube premiere there's no shame in that at least you looked it up at least you cared enough to look it up it drives me crazy because it's like the premiere the like the premier footballer you know versus premiere yes and we so infrequently used premiere or premiere, like, in that way. I feel like that it doesn't make sense to just always... Another one that's kind of funny is canceled. That, like, people flip with the L's in it. Like, whether there's two Ls or one L.

Like, I think we're supposed to do maybe one. Oh, really? I think so. Holy shit. Well, I've been canceled with one L and two Ls. In this life, in this comedy career, I've experienced a single L and a double L cancellation. How many L are in your cancellation?

That's tough. The double L is tough. You brought it up now. You might as well Google it. Like, what is the actual? I think the 1L is like American English. And then the two Ls would be like British, Canadian. Yeah, because I'm a 2L guy when I write Cancel.

without a shadow of doubt. I am too. I am too. I'm a double L. It's not right for us. We can't be doing that. I'm a double L. It's a Y as far as I'm concerned.

I stand with double L. Okay. Let's take a couple more before I have to go because coincidentally enough. At last three, I have a class of Spanish. Clace de Spanish. People can correct me. And I don't want to be late because I was late yesterday because I had a podcast.

And my instructor who's in Pereira in Colombia will be waiting for me. One of these days we'll have to do something about learning Spanish, a learning Spanish episode. But that'll be in the future. Okay, let's take a few more. Let's rip through a couple more here. Growing businesses deal with the same problem. Too many tools, too much back and forth,

and not enough time. O-DU helps bring it all together.

It's O-D-O-O-O-O-O-com. Okay, trigger warning. Pumpkin. Nope, it's pumpkin, okay? Also, swimming, running. Nope, try again. It's swimming and running. There's a G, so you should pronounce it.

And finally, people love to say anyways. Anyways, I'm going to go to the store. No, why are you adding an S? It's anyway. So anyway, love you, Dads. I love you, Nicole. Great job on the special. And thanks for doing the podcast.

See you guys next week. Bye. So what was she saying about the orange vegetable? I feel like I might have been mispronouncing that. What was she saying? I think it's what? These are all like grammar-based, like either leaving out a letter, adding a letter that's supposed to? Yeah, well, because the first one wasn't that clear.

So how do you spell? Let's run it back. She, she's made me paranoid now about that bloody word. Now I'm like, which way do I pronounce? I don't want to say it. I don't want to. Say it. Because I don't know what you're talking about.

Oh, yeah. It's got a pee. Was she saying people say pumpkin versus pumpkin? Is that what she was saying? That's what she was saying. Yeah, she was saying some people say pumpkin, but it's pumpkin. Spell the two things you're doing right now. P-U-M versus P-U-M-P, right?

Pumpkin. Pumpkin. Oh, I see. I see. I see. I see. Yeah. And then the anyways is very understandable.

But that's just one of these like language evolutions that's like anyways. Like that, you know, that's like a, you know, it's like a connector word. Like an unimportant word doesn't bother me. But totally fair enough. But then, you know, when people say running, it doesn't bother me that is running, you know. to me that's more like accent than but but also totally fine that it does bother you but like do you valid do you care i don't think that really bothers me i think that like i do really relate to this person in the sense of like there's something that so many people say

that you don't like and you literally can't do anything about it like you can't change it the anyways versus anyways specifically that's tough Because it's not like you can go around correcting people on that. You can only really be pissed about it. Yeah, anyways. So I feel for you. I don't know if I'm in any ways user or not. I have to pay attention.

I'm a big any-whoosie these days. Any-Hoozy? Love Any-Hoozy. Any-who- It's like a little silly. It's fun to do it if you like say something really crazy and serious and you try and change the subject with any whozy. I'd recommend trying that. I'm a big fan of oopsie-poopsie.

You know, because you're hanging out with kids. You say oopsie poopsie, but then you kind of, then it just becomes part of the lexicon. So like somebody hits a bad pot. I'm like, oopsie poopsie. Oobsy is great. Oopsy is great. It's funny because my niece and nephew from, you know, from Hannah's side, like they weren't using oopsie poopsie. And then after they spent time in our house, suddenly they were saying oopsie poopsie.

And they were like, now you've got them saying oopsie poopsie. I was like, and what's the problem with that? You know, oopsie poopsie is great. No? Yes. I love oopsie poopsie. Kids love oops and kids love poops. Put them together, you got oopsie poopsie, you know.

But when I say realize it's an oopsie poopsie every time. Oopsie poopsie does the same. Realize it correctly again. All right, let's take one more before we go. And then tango care me. Things people say that piss me off is when my husband says the word ear regardless, like just be a normal person and just say it like regardless. You don't have to sound like we're using some big vocabulary.

Just say regardless. The ear regardless really triggers me. And the other thing is play it by ear. I hate that people say play it by ear. I know that's the correct way. But like just I play it by here. Just speak like a normal person. What was the last one?

Play it by ear versus what? Here. Are you suggesting here? Is it, I couldn't play it by here? Play it by ear. Right. I couldn't, I didn't hear that maybe correctly. What she was saying.

Well, she was saying that, play it by ear, she knows that's the right way to say it, but to say it like a normal person, it might be play it by here. Really? IDK. Yeah, I don't know, because, you know, somebody has a good ear, you know? Okay, so the first thing she said, irregardless. So is irregardless, like, not correct? correct? It feels like a lot. It's like saying ultimately for no reason. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like it doesn't have to be in like it's like what you do when you write like a high school paper.

High school essay you try to get extra points on the thing. It's a non-standard adverb meaning regardless. Widely considered an error. It is a blend of irrespective and regardless. So it is also. just wrong so that I understand why you're mad about that. A hundred percent. Very good. And then the fact that you said, it's like when people say ultimately. Yeah. Ultimately.

Yeah. It's like it's on. You don't need to be paranoid about ultimately. But ultimately none of this really matters. I don't know. It's good you realize that. It matters. Yeah.

Irrespective of the fact that we, supposedly it doesn't matter. It really doesn't. Well, here's the thing. Next week's prompt, as I read out, is what's something you used to judge people for, but now you completely understand. Thank you, everyone, for your very prompt and substantial feedback. I'm going to go. I have a Spanish class.

Oh, also, apologies for last week's episode. We never discussed that. We had an abrupt finish, but I think the problem has been resolved. And obviously, it didn't affect. We got so much interaction that it wasn't really relevant. I mean, I do feel like we had a little bit of gold that we lost, but we'll never know. And we'll see you guys. We'll see you guys next week.

Don't forget to watch the special if you haven't or spread information about the special. And we'll see you soon. Thank you, Nicole.
