The heated debate over whether people hear yanny or laurel rages on, but Charles Barkley added a new word to the mix as if this whole thing wasn’t frustrating enough.

“I thought I heard ‘doughnut,’” Barkley said on the NBA on TNT Wednesday night.

The rest of the crew laughed and they played the sound again. Barkley continued to insist he heard doughnut.

Shaquille O’Neal’s answer wasn’t much better.

“I heard them both combined but I’m just going to go with yanny,” he said.
