Welcome to another episode of...

Today, we have Ling Ling 40 Hours.

- Yeah. - The most talented subreddit in the world,

of course, is Ling Ling 40 Hours.

I can't wait for the dank memes.

And see what you classical musicians and

non-classical musicians are up to.

Brett: Almost 800 people that are not practicing.

- Yeah. - Busted!

We're watching you guys.

- No way! - Ohh, that's so...!

- And that's why you got a bargain. - Dude, that's so sick.

Brett: Didn't pay anything. Zero dollars.

Zero dollar for Ling Ling!

I n T e r E s T i N g !

I love how my glasses went blank. White.

- Like the anime villain glasses. - Yeah.

Villain's like, "Oh my god."

- What? - I need to read that again.

What??

Oh, that's true.

Yeah, you're kind of just looking at it,

but you're not really looking at it.

Especially if you're playing a sonata,

- and they're like, - Oh, yeah.

"You have to use music."

- I know... - Because if you play by memory,

then who do you think you are??

- You... soloistic, - I know.

egotistic violinist.

Brett: "Dad, please, not now."

Brett: "Dad, someone is dying."

Where would your wedding be if it wasn't for musicians?

You really wanna play on that speaker?

- Huh? - Is life really worth living without music?

You really wanna live a silent life?

Musicians are just as important

to human civilization.

- Exactly. - Change our minds.

- Hey. - Guys, that's too much of a compliment.

Hey. Hey.

Thank you.

Ayy, look! The swan is outside the ballet school.

- That's crazy. - Maybe it's the teacher.

- Yeah. Yeah. - The, the ballet, ballerinas are learning from the swan.

Brett: It's like, this is how you do it.

Yeah.

Yeah, I... I can't...

I mean, depends on the classical music, obviously.

Sometimes you want to just listen,

and have a nice background music.

But I'd say I agree that most of the time that

if classical music is on,

- my instinct is try to guess what it is. - Mhmm.

Or if it's a violinist, who's playing.

- Yeah, it really depends on the piece, right? Like... - Yeah.

If it's Mozart Violin Sonata,

it'd be a lot easier to...

kind of let it sit in the background compared to...

- Schoenberg. Or Strauss. - Strauss.

Strauss, uh... Don Juan.

- Yeah. I can't really study to that. - Yeah, you can't study to that!

- It's too intense. - Yeah.

Wait wait wait.

You're the chosen one.

Yeah, you have— Ling Ling's like,

- "You get a chance." - Yeah.

"Up you go."

(both) Yay!

Lamentable, wel—

We welcome lamentable to our words gang.

Society these days.

- Just so lamentable. - Dude. I know.

Young people can't appreciate classical music.

It's all too short attention span now.

Dude, I like the practice watch! Yeah!

Nice one!

- Dude, that's sick! - And that drawing is...

That is actually...

"Making classical music relevant."

"Ling Ling wannabes unite."

- That's so good. - "40 hours." Dude, that's sick.

- And what's the piece? - "If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly."

Yeah, what is the piece?

Uhh...

Eddy: It's Sibelius!

Nice.

From a non-musician!

They picked Sibelius. I'm impressed.

Welcome to the the music gang.

Yes.

- Oh, yeah. "Kof" is such a common, um... - "Kof." Yeah.

- There's like a... - It's like "Kov..."

"Kov..."

"Kovsky."

Wow.

Hey, NASA! I'm still waiting for my paycheck!

- Yeah. - Been acting for the last 26 years!

Where's my paycheck?

- Brett: Welcome! - Eddy: That's awesome!

I think piano is one of the best things to own,

like have in a house.

It's so aesthetically nice.

- Yep. - And also music-wise, it's just...

- You can just play. - You can just play.

That's nice! Wow, dude, that actually looks pretty.

Brett: I like the carpet as well, you know?

- Yeah. - And it's got an actual piano stool.

You do not kick the stool.

Nice one! I like the hoodie as well. Sacrilegious.

Nice one.

Even got your glasses shape right.

Oh, yeah!

- Wow. - Nice.

Dude.

- It would be like... BOOM! - That would have... Yeah!

- The whole screen! Yeah. - That would be the entire screen.

I guess they're thinking about how editor-san has to

- subtitle while we're sight-reading. - Ah, yeah, yeah.

But we're sightreading a single line.

In a movie, typically...

- I'm thinking like, an orchestral soundtrack like Marvel, - They have other things... Dude.

you'd have like 20 lines.

It'd be nice to see if they could put it.

I don't think most people can read music,

and that music enhances what they hear.

- Well, I don't... That's like, - Like, that's some next level genius.

- you gotta be Beethoven, or someone like, - Yeah.

- top genius. - Yeah.

I know this is just a meme,

- and we're taking this way too serious, but... - I know.

Stick with us.

Like, imagine you're watching a foreign film.

You can't understand, but you read the subtitles.

But if you're listening to foreign music,

reading the score doesn't help you...

...digest the music better,

you're still just hearing the music.

Yeah. That's true.

- But it's a funny meme. I like it. - It's a funny one.

Violin-chan is alive!

- Oh my god, first post! - She's on our Reddit! Whoo!

- Dude, I hate it when we mix bubble teas. - Yeah, it's disgusting.

Come on, guys. Bubble tea sharing is caring.

Do you want bubble tea?

You can...

...not share with me.

That's right.

That's right.

Did you see this meme?

- Yeah. - Do we feel closer now?

Oh, that stretched my back muscles.

- Oh, that's... - Who looks beautiful when they sleep??

- Is that even, like... - Yeah.

I'm pretty sure everyone sleeps just like...

I'm so dead!

- I can feel the pain in that. - I can see that.

Yeah.

That's so true.

Hey! But he adapted.

- Yeah. He actually was like... - Yeah.

"I got it."

And he went through it.

So you got to adapt!

- Be adaptable! - Yes.

When you play a wrong note,

you must keep going,

- and change, and adapt! - Yes!

And now we have a triangle, recorder, Shaun's bass.

Oh, wow. They know everything.

- "4040 - The Entire Orchestra." - Alright.

- Dude, that would be like, 30 violins. - Let's do it!

By 4040, we will—

Nah, I don't think I should make any promises.

No, let's do it.

By Ling Ling 4040,

we'll have every instrument in the orchestra in our house.

- What, like, in our grave? 'Cause we'll be dead? - Yeah, in our grave.

In our grave!

- You got owned! - Dude, that's so bad.

That's why you gotta have a spare bow, guys.

I would die.

- I would just die in the moment. - Yeah.

Face face face.

Yes!

That's right.

Next time, if you're lamentable, just uh...

Dude, that looks like...

...poo.

Alright guys, that's enough for today.

Please accent the like button,

and legato the subscribe button.

Remember, keep practicing,

otherwise you'll become lamentable.

See you guys next time.
