Ling Ling 40 hours!
That was cool.
In case you didn't see that, refer back to our
- "TwoSet Violin is an anime now." - Yeah.
Forgot the caption.
- Yeah. - Pretty cool.
Made like, our life look great.
- Yeah. - But really, we're just...
...here.
Let's see what's on top for this week's
Ling Ling 40 hours!
The most talented subreddit!!
Brett: Everyone's like, "SHUT UP!!"
That's a good one.
Look at him, he's like, "He's so annoying."
What the f...?
- Eddy: But yeah, why is there a crescendo? - Brett: Yeah. ...Yeah!
That's a good one.
Oh, sh...
- Yeah... - Oh, my god.
- We kinda got owned from that video. - Yeah.
I'm sure most of you understand it was a joke.
As seen from this meme, we like to make fun of...
- every instrument, including ourselves. - Yeah.
But I'm also kinda glad that the, um...
That the recorder community kind of
came back and made some videos to make fun of it.
Because it was interesting to see.
So we'll say it here, in case it didn't come across clear.
It was a joke, we understand that the recorder is a very
capable and sophisticated instrument.
- We were very impressed. Yes. - So thank you to recorder community...
...for playing along.
He's just like, dead in his coffin going...
This should be "being deaf."
Not "being dead."
Big difference, guys! Come on!!
- It's in a book as well! - I know.
Brett: Okay.
No way!
Ohhh...!!
No!!
Really?
No way. No way!
That was my reaction. I was like, "No way."
- Dude, this guy has IQ 4000. - Yeah.
I need to show you guys the, um...
Petrushka.
Alright, guys. Time for some...
very interesting musical history.
Petrushka, by Stravinsky.
So this is one of the, um...
Most famous polyrhythms in orchestra repertoire.
So the oboes...
- ...and flutes are playing 7/8 rhythm. - 7/8.
Over...
...3/4. In the rest of the orchestra.
Whoa!
- Hold on. Yeah. - And no one gets...
Alright, like, I mean, not no one gets it right,
- but it's so hard to get right. - So hard...
Usually it's like, rough.
Even just 7 and 3.
One... two...
- Wait. - Alright fine, you do 3.
It's just— They're separate. That's right.
- I didn't calculate it. - Yeah.
Alright, so...
One two,
- three four, and the last three come at the last. - Yeah.
- So it's like... - Alright.
One.
Nah, ****!
I got 6!!
No, I can't, I can't listen to you!
Oh, we had it for the first half!
- Dude, imagine... Yeah yeah yeah! - I freaked out when we got it.
- I freaked out as well! I felt it waver. - I freaked out, I was like, "Oh, sh..." Yeah, I felt it waver.
All I know is I need to hit...
3 before your second one.
- And then 2 before your third one. - 2 before my third one.
- And then last, and then... Okay. - And then 2, and then 1.
But...
- After that, I just... - But I can't listen to you.
- You can't listen to me. - Because I can't, 'cause...
As long as I listen to you, I'm...
I'm wavering.
Okay, but that was nothing compared to that kid.
- Dude, that was 7, 11, 2, 3, 5. - Yeah. ...And in 5!
Yeah, this guy needs to...
- play Petrushka. - Yeah.
Mmm.
- Mmm, nice! - Mmm. I like that.
That kinda like...
- bitonal, like two different keys at the end. - Yeah! And it's...
- The key suddenly changed there, right? - Yeah.
First of all, sorry to hear about the loss.
But the music, I think...
was great.
It's actually so hard to play soft.
Yeah. Even with strings, like, it's scary.
- To make a nice sound. And then winds, - Yeah. You get shaky bow.
we can imagine.
And brass... Yeah, good luck.
That's your Asian Ling Ling's parents
hacking the Google.
There would be a lot of Asians in, um...
Working at Google, too.
Remember when we went to Google?
- How many Asians there were? - Yeah!
And in the cafeteria, they had a Platform 9 and 3/4!
- Oh yeah... - With a fro-yo stand!
And bubble tea—
Alright, this is... like, getting sidetracked.
But Google is like, the coolest place.
What is this??
- Oh. Oh, oh. - Here we go.
(both) Whoa!!
- Damn! - Okay, can you guess whose legs they are?
I don't know, but...
I'm getting like, Eugene from Try Guys vibes.
Eugene from Try Guys, watch out.
- I'm coming for you. - Yeah!
Yeah!
Hey, guys, it's...
- It's just, we're just... Yeah. - Sometimes you just gotta say how it is.
- That's cool! - It actually looks really nice.
- I'd be curious to see what it sounds like. - I love the... I love the varnish.
Yeah, it's a nice varnish.
But that's so cool!
- I often wish I knew how to make a violin. - Oh, but wait.
Brett: Four fine tuners.
Yeah, I take that back.
Get that... Get that junk away!
- Nah, just kidding. - Just kidding.
Roomie!
Go back to your room and practice!
- I'm so funny. I'm so funny. - Roomie needs a room...
...to practice in.
- Yeah. - Yeah, sometimes you're just like...
You're tense, and you know you're gonna screw up,
But then the sound sounds good, and you're just like,
"Oh, I don't know how I did it."
Okay guys, we get it.
We get it!
AHH!
- Recorder players, please roast us. - Yes, please.
- Please. Open invitation to roast - We're open to your roasts. Yeah, please.
- our recorder playing. - Go, go, go.
Please! Roast! More!
Whoa!
This looks a Kickstarter campaign.
- Like a crowdfunding campaign. - Dude, what the...
"Premium stainless steel clips," okay.
- "Excuse list for when you get called out..." - Is it bulletproof??
Yeah.
Brett: Dude, "attachable shelf, for various uses."
"Stand grip, for comfortable picking up and carrying around."
- Very user-friendly! - Someone please invent this
high-tech Iron Man stand.
Oh, wow.
Dammit, PewDiePie!
Stop asking us to do pop songs!
Does he listen to classical music? That's my question.
- Yeah, I don't know. - Hmm.
But PewDiePie.
If you need a violin lesson,
you know who to hit up.
That looks exactly like me.
- Nice! - I feel like I'm looking in a mirror.
That's how you look at the mirror.
All right, guys!
I think that's it.
Thank you so much for watching.
