So, Main-gee-towt…

I don’t get the joke but Main-gee-towt is what I hear in my mind.

The ‘e’ in ‘mange’ should be pronounced roughly like the English schwa. The rule of three consonants dictates that if an ‘e’ is not at the beginning or end of a word, and there are two consecutive consonants either before or after, the ‘e’ cannot be elided. This not an airtight law however. Double consonants do not apply. And I believe there may be cases in which it may not apply if a consonant is not vocalized. But this is the general gist of the matter.

Am I being whooshed? That “e” is silent. As is the second “t”.
