Welcomeeeeeeeeee!
Hello.
Is it…
Is that a G?
Yeah.
That's right, it's the most talented subreddit,
r/lingling40hrs!
Yes, we're back!
- We need a new intro for it. - Yeah, Ling Ling 40 hours,
maybe it can be like…
Come on, basement editor!
Yeah.
Make us a new…
- ...Hollywood grade... - Come on, hurry up!
What are we paying you for—I’m just joking.
Before we jump into Ling Ling 40 hours,
a lot of you have been messaging, commenting…
…oh, I need to sneeze. Ohh.
Well, a lot of you have been commenting on
the recent Super Bowl event.
Is it a pop star?
Yeah, a pop star used musicians—
I mean...a pop star used people with instruments,
not musicians…
So, it's a Super Bowl,
some American thing, I don't really get much about it.
It's a big deal, you know, sports.
I’m a musician, don't know much about it.
Yep, me neither.
But from what I understand,
there was a certain part of it in the middle that featured violins,
and it was a little bit…sacrilegious.
- So everyone wanted us to react to it. - Yeah, you guys all spammed us with the messages.
- Yeah, you guys already knew what’s up. - Everyone tagged us in this, so…okay.
Violin music.
- Is that legit violin music? - Probably…not,
- seeing how this is their posture… - Oh my god, look at the top guy’s bow hold, it's like…
Guys, look at this!
Actually no, you know what their sound is actually like?
Dude, all their bow holds are just like…
…so off.
- Ohh! - *groans*
And change strings…
- Eddy: Why are they going from like D, G to E string? - Brett: I don’t wanna…yeah!
- When…the melody, if you’re on first it’s just on the E. - It’s clear, look!
And if it’s…
There's no bow…string crossing there!
And if you're on the E string, ‘cause there’s a, E string bit…
It’s just…
- Yeah. - It’s not…
- And they used too much bow, you don't need that much bow. - Way too much bow!
Brett: And look at the tension on all their necks!
They're all gonna need chiropractors after this.
- Oh my god. - Dude!
What's going on?
Ohh!
They’re all doing that…
This is what it actually sounds like in real life, guys.
No, no, no, it doesn't sound like that,
because they all put oil on the bow.
- Oh, they used oil…oh, they learnt from the master! - They used oil on the bow,
so that doesn't make a sound!
Of course! Industry secrets!
Oh! Oh…
(Both) Oh!!! Oh…!!!!
- Oh!!! - What is that!
Dude! Bro…
You know the only time you ever do this,
it’s when you do Suzuki and you’re a beginner, and you’re going…
Retake!
This is for like, three-year-olds.
Telltale signs, that they're completely faking it,
and they don't even know how to play the violin.
- Bam! Number one. - Oh, their neck is way too tense,
see that head posture on Eddy right now?
It's like, that's a sign that you're a beginner,
or you just can't play.
I…I can probably imagine,
rehearsing non-musicians to change bow, on the same time,
- would cost so much more than just getting real musicians. - Oh my god!
- The time… - They'll just show up, with no rehearsal needed.
Oh by the way, all their violins, you had to buy the props,
probably not even real violins.
Actual musicians will just bring their own violins.
- and it’ll…hello? Wake up! - Yeah, yeah.
And the rehearsal time, like Eddy said,
just to try and get that?
Just get real musicians, hello? Wake up!
Something about that bow hold just really triggers me.
Not the bow hold, the bow movement.
- Yes. No, no, no, because the sound sounds like - Something about the way…
the sound is spinning and moving a lot really quick,
but their bow speed is like…
I’ll…let me show it first, what's meant to be.
- And they're going… - And then they're kind of like…
But like I mean, come on, like…
He's singing, so he's a musician.
Why would a musician, do that to other fellow musicians?
- That doesn’t make sense. - Yeah, it's like what…why…
Why would you let this pass?
Why would you not support other musicians?
You know what, they probably just think people watching don’t know.
The only thing I can think of maybe,
is that these were the dancers, and they're doubling them up.
But bro, you got a million…
- Mult…I don't know, what was the budget like? - Actually I’m gonna look up the budget right now.
Halftime show cost millions.
- And you couldn't like afford, six musicians, for like… - You could just…six musicians,
for a few hundred dollars, just for their time.
Bro…
Let me just make this clear.
As a classical musician, we practice.
We practice hours,
- so we can give an authentic and honest performance. - Yep.
- It's not perfect, which is fine, but it’s… - Yeah.
It takes a lot of courage to go on stage, and be vulnerable,
- to show all these mistakes, and show what you've done. - Mm-hmm.
And yet we have these production companies,
or whatever these things are…
Things…I don't know.
“Hey, right, let's just spend on some more lights,
rather than like, actual musicians.”
Alright, time to go to Ling Ling 40 hours,
something to purify our soul…uh,
- purify our soul. - Souls.
I can't even speak anymore.
Cleanse our eyes with some beautiful art and memes.
Nice for getting the top vote if it's your first time.
Brett: That drawing is amazing!
Thanks for the support for the 3 mil sub,
- that was a… - Oh yeah.
That was a big, big milestone for us, I think it was really…
- …one of those moments that we won't forget, ever. - 100 percent, I’ll never forget it.
- To my grave, I’ll never forget it. - Yeah.
Ohh…!
- You guys give us too much credit, though. - Yeah…
- Dude, that's epic. - That's pretty epic, though.
- That is true. - Straight on!
Piano gang can’t crescendo!
Oof!
- What is that? - What is that clamp on the lips?
I also did that one as a kid, on the right, you know?
- I played with…yeah yeah, - Yeah, with the hair tie, right?
I did like, play with toys, I'd do stupid things, so…
You guys have seen the good side of us,
- Yeah. - you haven't seen this side that…you know…
- That way… - Pretty sure I’ve put a ruler over my eyes as well.
- I had those floppy rulers, - Yeah.
- like this, like the bendy ones, you just…slap… - Yes, slap around the wrist.
You slap it on the wrist, and you slap people,
they go “Ahhh!”, running around.
- Yeah. - So yeah.
But teach him to play…oh no…
- Oh... - Did an Asian…Asian mom make this meme?
- Yeah…Asian parents, yeah… - To like…convince their kids to become doctor?
First they tell them to practice, now they convince them,
“You gonna be poor for the rest of your life.”
Oh, man.
Kinda true…?
Well…
Musicians don't have money to buy sheet music,
- give us a break! - That's right!
- Come on guys, we’re here making music for everyone! - Yeah.
Oh, I love this one.
Oh that's really good one.

“Oh, here we go.”
Wow!
Actually?
That's almost the entire world!

Greenland gang, where were you?
Do they have internet there?
I’m just joking, I don't know.
Thank you guys, for all the stream, thank you for watching.
- You guys are the best! - Thank you to the European gang for staying up,
- we appreciate it. - Yeah.
That's kind of true.
Well damn, that's rough.
Brett: It’s kind of scary, that bird.
- Like you will practice, every day, it’s like, - You will practice, yeah.
Eddy: “You didn’t practice?”
“Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.”
- Sibelius! That's so cool. - Whoa!
Dude, that's sick!
Wow.
- Dude, I want to be in an anime. - That's where we were,
we were in Greenland.
- Eddy: That's why there was no live viewers, - Brett: Yeah,
- Eddy: like ‘cause we were there. - Brett: we were there.
- That’s amazing. - Yes.
Who drew that?
Brett: u/RockhardMushroom.
Okay.
- Nice. - Nice name.
Yeah, guys. Did it.
- Yeah. - We did it, because all you guys said it.
- That's so true! - Yeah!
- Or when you’re just nervous and you're like, shaking. - Yeah you’re just like, vibrato.
You guys with violinists, or…string player,
- when you're nervous, the vibrato gets really like, fast, - Really fast.
- but it becomes really intense. - Yeah.
And it's like, “Wow what is this?”
- Unlocking like a new skill. - Yeah.
Alright guys, that's enough for today.
Because all of the…
What?!
- "OMG! PLS!" Argh! - You stalked us?
You stalked us?!
I thought you guys were just having coffee there as well.
So you weren't there for coffee!
‘Cause they bought coffee as well.
Ohh…!
We should’ve got you a coffee, actually.
- If you wanted a coffee you should’ve told us, come on! - Actually yeah, we should’ve, yeah.
We'll get you a coffee.
Is that it?
- Oh, there's more. - Nah, there’s more.
- Oh my god, they’re so dramatic. - Oh, man.
Brett: Look at this spelling!
Yes, I remember that.
I remember that.
- Oh my god. - Oh, I remember now. Oh no!
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
So, I remember when she gave us a flower,
I’m like, “Oh, how come you have flowers?”
And then she was like,
- “I went on a Valentine date.” - Oh yeah!
"Date, and we're on a date."
- So I didn't know what she meant by that… - But I…but I thought it was just her and her friend,
just having a date together,
you know, just like two girls hanging out together.
So some dude gave her a flower,
and she gave them to…
Oh.
- Okay, oh that's a fun thing, yeah yeah. - Alright, okay, good good. That’s alright.
Oh, that's interesting.
I’m just picturing giving out flowers to strangers.

Ah, next time.
Dude.

It's so juicy.

Yeah.
