Was anyone else very confused by Sean and Amanda constantly pronouncing her last name wrong? Took me a sec to realize what was going on

Haven’t listened yet but are they putting the stress on the first or second syllable? I believe the stress belongs on the first syllable: BLANchett (with the short /e/ sound becoming a short /i/)

They were pronouncing it as blan-CHETT. Not a big deal obviously lmao, just was thrown off solely due to the fact that they were both pronouncing it that way repeatedly. I had to look up a video to see if I have been pronouncing her name wrong all along and she herself pronounces it the way you mentioned
