  • Hey everyone!

  • Today we are going to be talking about the most easy,

  • and useless instrument of them all.

  • This plastic piece of trash

  • The recorder.

  • I'm sure most of you have seen this already,

  • if not played on it at school.

  • It's a plastic...toy.

  • An excuse of an instrument,

  • that requires zero talent whatsoever to play.

  • It's just another one of those things

  • that you have to learn in school,

  • where you can't make a career out of it.

  • Yeah, but...wait!

  • Eddy, look at this.

  • "Decca Classics signs 16-year- old recorder player."

  • - What?! - What the...

  • This must be a joke.

  • She's also in Eurovision!

  • No, no, no, no, no...alright, let's check this out.

  • See what it's all about.

  • Why is there a telephone there?

  • What? *laughs*

  • What?! *laughs*

  • Dude, holy crap. Oh my God!

  • Well, there you go.

  • It's a legitimate, professional career.

  • No, no, no, no, no. Let's see if we can do it.

  • Let me just remind (myself) how's—how to play.

  • Take the...C.

  • (Pressing) All of them is lower C.

  • Yeah.

  • One off is D.

  • Then, E.

  • Then F.

  • G, and then you do that, and it's D.

  • *plays high D*

  • *plays high E*

  • *plays high F*

  • *plays high G*

  • *plays out of tune high A*

  • Alright, let's see if we can play like her.

  • Challenge accepted.

  • Scissors paper rock, whoever loses goes first.

  • Scissors, paper, rock!

  • *laughs*

  • - Oh. I can relax. - Ready.

  • *nervous laughter*

  • Alright, you go to the end of the phrase.

  • It keeps going...

  • Up to there. I got this, recorder's easy.

  • Oh s***...

  • What the hell...

  • You gotta go down an octave.

  • Got the A!

  • Dude!

  • Dude...

  • Dude, that technique...

  • That's you man. You got this!

  • Alright.

  • Dude there's actually so much technique involved.

  • Oh...I...out of oxygen.

  • Maybe it's—we need the nose man.

  • Oh my nose is blocked.

  • - My nose is blocked, I'm sick... *laughs* - Can't even do that.

  • My nose is blocked. *laughs*

  • Maybeno, it's 'cause we got cheap ones.

  • Dude, mine's not even aligned right.

  • That's why, she probably has like a Strad recorder,

  • worth like, 10 million dollars...it's probably why.

  • Just released the world's first 24 karat gold...

  • ...electric violin.

  • I can just imagine her like...

  • What, every other kid in like schools, who's just like...

  • Uhh!

  • Bro, are you ready? Are you ready?

  • - Uh, what...how does the battle Naruto thing go again? - Uh...

  • Oh yeah yeah...! *laughs*

  • Ohh...wait!

  • Ohh...right...!

  • *laughs*

  • Alright guys!

  • Thanks so much for watching.

  • Be like...that recorder Ling Ling girl.

  • Just...while all your friends are in primary school,

  • playing hot cross buns,

  • You better be practicing 40 hours a day on recorder.

  • Uh...I think we might've found a...

  • Almost Ling Ling on the recorder, not quite.

  • Practice the recorder if you're in primary school.

  • And um...

  • Like and subscribe!

  • Alright, I'm out.

  • *laughs* Too much, it's too much.
