When I first saw his name I went with "a-reek", then I started hearing "eric" and thought I was going to get that wrong every time going forward. Watching an OTB clip and Jordy just went with "a-reek" and I'm probably going to give up on it and call him Gilbert.

Ponamsky was on the show one day and told them it sounds like Eric. Jordy then repeated it back incorrectly.

Yeah I don't know either. Culotta says "A-reek" and Moscona says "Eric". You figure they would at least pronounce it the same.

In his commitment video, they pronounced it “Eric” multiple times, so i would guess like that.
