• 18:39
  Speaker 2: in the London West End production of the musical Chess

  Speaker 1: And finally, this.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Name mahmand Mahintraya Maha Mahasatan with lukam pressI.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Is the ceremonial name of which city. It's the city
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: in a Nick Cage film title where The King and
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I was set and where Murray Heads sang about one
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: night in Bangkok.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Good job finding that clip of someone saying it, yeah,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: I was.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Not about to attempt it. I have some confidence in life, Anny,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: not that much.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Do you have confidence in sunshine and in rain?
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: No? So I have no confidence. I only have confidence
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: when it's overcast.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Because that's a Sound of Music song I have since
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: we're talking about Rogers and Hammerstein, So that's where that
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: came from. If you didn't know the reference.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: That's the last Tony they won Best Musical four the
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: first South Pacific and then Sound of Music was after that.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: After The King and I they were nominated for pipe Dream,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: but winning the Tony for it was a literal damn
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Yankees won it that year.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: That's a good one. I don't know anything about pipe Dream,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: so it could be amazing. It just doesn't have the
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: same legacy as some of the other Rogers and Hammerstein's.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I've heard of that one, but
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I have heard a flower drum song.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard that of that, but I don't know.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was after that, and they were nominated but
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: lost to Redhead, and then they came back with a
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: vengeance with Sound of Music, and then I think Rogers
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: might have passed away or Hammerstein one of them.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: I think it was Hamerstein, and I think the last
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: song that they wrote. I don't know if it was
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: for the musical or for the movie edition of it,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: but it was to add Adelweiss. And the song was
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: so well done that a lot of people think that
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: adel Weiss wasn't written by Rogers and Hammerstein. But is
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: a traditional Austrian song, right, But it's it's not. It's
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: just a couple of American boys. And I guess Adelweiss's
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: flowers are really ugly according to my dad, so he
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: thinks it's a funny song.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: It's probably not as pretty as a Columbine, or maybe.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: It smells better or something. There's something funny about Adelwiss.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: I could see it in a HP Lovecraft story.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the highest compliment you can give a flower. Thanks
