After seeing an article earlier today, I really wanted to see how Alex pronounced Hefeweizen. As luck would have it, there was a blip on my computer right when he said it. But I still got to see it on the TV recording — and he said it the way the article said NOT to say it. :):)

That’s awesome, VJ. I never even heard of Podgorica and Valletta before.
I’m not gonna lie, Rhonda — it wasn’t easy to learn those Balkan countries that we first learned as Yugoslavia but I like geography so I kept at it till I got it. Just don’t ask me to pronounce some of them. :):)

I admire your persistence, VJ. Let’s hope the next time Podgorica shows up on Jeopardy in some way, I will remember it!!
Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic & Canadian Tennis player Milos Raonic are both born in Podgorica (formerly Titograd)
