  1. Just a heads up: Since José is from Brazil, where we speak Portuguese, the correct pronunciation for his name is not the spanish one (“Hosay”), but something more straightforward: pretty much “Jose”, with the J being somewhat of a “zh” sound, and the E pronounced as one would pronounce it in “extra” or “meld”.
