What distinguishes it from the R is "surplus", for example? In both cases it's followed by a P and another semiglide.

Apologies if this pronunciation is regional to the Western Hemisphere, but I'm very curious regardless.

There's a joke in Weird Al's movie UHF where someone notices a door marked "Supplies" and when they open it a bunch of ninjas jump out while yelling "Supplies!!!"

So, yeah, anyway: That's how I say it, Sup-Rise, like "supplies" but with an R.
