I appreciate the respect for Jake. But...
...it's understandable that Ben doesn't get it right. Jake's family isn't consistent about it. How do I know this? Jake's dad is my brother. Most of us, including Jake's dad, say Retz-laugh. We are used to hearing all kinds of pronunciations (my favorite was a coach that used to call me ri-TOOZ-laugh). I didn't realize that Jake said Retz-lov until I heard how consistently Greg Wrubell was saying that. I think it comes from his mom. She has always said Retz-lov and I always assumed it was her accent from growing up in NY. Apparently, Jake picked up on her way of saying it (now I have to ask Jake's brothers how they say it). Ben has met Jake's dad, so it's possible he's heard Jake's dad say Retz-laugh and thinks that must be how Jake says it.
