So, uh... is the reason he can't say it out loud because he inhaled it all and the squeaky voice would give it away? LtPowers (talk) 12:34, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

That was my first thought. Darthpoppins (talk) 12:39, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

What do I say about the person who was in charge of giving me sole control of the helium reserves? I would definitely speak highly of him! 172.70.90.252 15:42, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

I think he cannot say anything loud because helium is stored in porous rock underground (here is Tom Scott's video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOy8Xjaa_o8) and it is embarrassing to say that you just pump expensive gas into the ground. not sure tho 162.158.238.234 16:59, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

Wouldn't that be just as embarassing to write down? "say out loud" clearly implies that the joke is about the squeaky voice. The last paragraph, with the "serious explanation", seems unnecessary. Barmar (talk) 21:40, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

Side note: Cody's Lab created a series of videos where he's not only using lighter-than-air gases, but also heavier-than-air gases. --JakubNarebski (talk) 20:50, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
