I couldn't go to the place with the world's longest reverb without taking a musical instrument or two!

That laughter was made better by the reverb.

2:36 You just accidentally made a very acceptable intro for a sadistic horror film, with that flute reverb and all..

Just imagine hearing Matt's manic cackling and an off key recorder from the other end...

One of the weirdest effects of the sound in that space was that we all immediately started talking quietly and slowly!

I'm extremely disappointed it wasn't bagpipes.

Matt: "idk how to play the kazoo" rips the fattest kazoo solo I've ever heard

Going to the location where the world record for longest reverb was set, so that you could badly play the kazoo there. I don't think I can possibly think of an action that is more 'Matt Gray' than this. I think you've peaked.

When I heard that recorder, I immediately thought of that terrible version of the song from Titanic.

2:37 probably one of the most terrifying natural sounds to ever occur

Interesting modal version of "Frère Jacques".

The reverb makes Matt's cackling sound much more diabolical.

THE MINOR SECONDS KEEP REVERBING AND IT'S THE GREATEST THING

As soon as you said instrument, I said Kazoo... Yet, I’m still surprised I was right

That reverberating recorder being abused to butcher Frère Jacques is the musical (?) equivalent of that image from that video. Thank you for your service Matt.
