They're saying their own town name wrong but also I'd say mon tayg for fun
I don't even know if it's wrong, exactly. I'd have to look up who it was actually named after and try to find some evidence of how they pronounced it, and... meh. Billy Shakes was also prone to mangling "foreign" names to fit his writing, through some combination of general ignorance or IDGAF (must... resist... temptation to launch tirade against the subtle elitism of anti-Stratfordians...).
It's just that almost literally everyone in America who ever hears that name hears it from Romeo and Juliet.
