Episode Date: May 12, 2023

Hi, and welcome to Tea at Four! A podcast series by Four Nine, where Lauren and Christie talk about all things that should have stayed in the group chat.

It was a nodule of gonorrhea. 182 million people, or even that many million people in the world. Hi guys, welcome back to Tea at Four. I'm Christy and today I'm joined with two beautiful people, but I'm fighting them today because they decided to go against me and wear a colour that I wasn't aware of. So bombastic side-eye to the both of them. My guest we've got ellie hello ellie what do you do i'm on camera oh which one this one no anyone oh okay i'm a new content creator for four nine recently joined and i also run my own dating page on tiktok so you're gonna give me some dating advice i'll give my best shot but yeah i'm not very good myself.

So that's the whole point. Yeah, I relate to people by being bad at dating. I don't wanna be bad at dating, so maybe I won't. Okay, yeah, just ignore me. And then we've got Jay back in the building. Hi. Hello, thanks for having me back. Where have you been?

Literally just waiting at the door, being like, please. Yeah, but we've been sending you the emails that can come back and no reply. Really? I thought you were ghosting me. Oh no, not like that. But can we just acknowledge the color scheme today, guys? It's giving, you know, the girls in green and I just-

We're getting the right vibes today. I just thought we could green screen my dress later and like play, we'll do the bloopers on me. Oh my babe. Throughout. But me also what we should actually do is utilize your green screen for our topic today and that is eurovision yep yes okay it's a bit spanish there if you're from essex it's eurovision okay Okay. No, just base. Base. So today in the group chat, we're talking all things Eurovision and just the excitement around it

because it's literally here, right? It's here, yeah. I don't know when it started. But when is it starting? Do you know, Ellie? Here we go. I feel like this is where it all comes out, okay? Because I'm not a Eurovision expert but I am a Eurovision fan, okay? So I am a little bit of a fangirl. So I want to know because I'm not a Eurovision expert, but I am a Eurovision fan. So I am a little bit of a fangirl.

So I want to know, because I'm getting some blank stares at the moment. What do you know about Eurovision? Have you watched it before? That's a good one. I've watched it once. Oh, yeah. It's just really long when it's on. It is long.

So I have to come in and now do do little jobs in between so big fan yeah mega eurovision fan do you know what i feel like i do remember like coming home and watching it with the family i do remember but obviously i'm biased because minas apart the english this apart the french yeah nice um but um one of the big five five but they haven't done too well recently so maybe I should go back to the UK because we won last year didn't we

yeah I know that but I always thought that the cheeky girls were on Eurovision sorry guys I mean to be fair if you were to look

at the cheeky girls that is like prime Eurovision act thank you but nah not at all no no no Jedward

yeah Jedward give me such Eurovision vibes Jedward is X Factor no cheeky girls were X Factor I no no jedward yeah jed would give me no x factor jedward is x factor no yeah cheeky girls were x factor i think no pop idol okay well sorry who knows now next episode we'll be doing a cheeky girl but like with eurovision i yeah i can't remember me personally watching it myself no I watched it in 2012 that's why I know the euphoria beautiful yeah Loreen Sweden yeah so basically Eurovision is I think it's 37 countries um but you are right which is why it's so long like it it is super, super long. And they're all battling to win

the Eurovision title essentially. But the UK did nab the win last year with Sam Ryder. Yes. Is that how it goes? I don't know, but just keep going. I don't know if he's gonna be happy with this cover, but I'm in, I'm in. I remember before, because he was standing there going,

it's the... Did you watch it? Yeah, I watched the news. Wow, it is uncanny. It's like, Sam, are you here? Are you in the room? I do remember, and he's got like the long hair. Yeah, he's like a wolf man.

He gives me Jesus vibes. Yeah, yeah, he's got big beard. But I think he was quite big on TikTok, like before Eurovision okay and i wonder if like i'm really interested to know if like that played a part in him being really popular this year because i guess if you're on tick tock you're like you might have fans in whatever country like not just the uk maybe so what is the criteria for you to like apply do you apply or do they scout you is it like love island it's exactly like love

island yeah they actually all go away for a week and they just battle it out and it's like whoever can sing the longest i mean it's a hot country then hey yeah why not do we know what country it's in beforehand or no so it's held in the country that won the previous year so because sam ryder won last year in the uk big up for Liverpool really good question I don't know I don't know I guess it's like a BBC decision because that's who like runs it but again London where you put in London there's loads of places I don't know the oh to I don't know I don't think that's where is it in Liverpool know i don't think that's where is it in liverpool i should know i'm going follow me there i'll be vlogging but who knows where i'm coming from

yeah interesting though so basically to decide there's like a little mini competition so within each country so for the uk it's called eurovision you decide so they'll have like five or six different acts and then like battle it out i say battle it's not that dramatic but i want to make it out to be like eurovision hunger games yeah um so yeah hopefully katniss is like repping up the shit um so they all battle it out need to stop saying battle uh but at the brighton dome i'm not sure that's even what it's called but you know the the venue I mean yeah um and yeah it's like a little mini kind of competition to decide who's going to represent the country that year um they have like a massive one in

Sweden yeah it's like really big I think it's called um mod festival no I've butchered it I've butchered it oh my gosh melodica festival do you have to get invited to the dome to the eurovision dome to sit yeah it's not like karaoke you can't just put your name down it's not open mic night babe no that'll make it so much more interesting no you'll see you're scouted for that i guess i don't know if people can enter but people are scouted or they like go to like song working camps oh i'm definitely yeah so they were like write songs specifically for it and then the battle the battle yeah so it could the song theme can be anything i'm guessing i think so yeah because i mean if you look at all the countries they're all like super super different

yeah um i was watching like just re-watching the past like uk songs and i'm not gonna lie they've been flat yeah they're really boring but like no offense to the people we love y'all but yeah flat yeah we're getting better like we're going we're getting good i think this is the thing about eurovision and maybe why some people don't watch it is like they're not necessarily the best musicians a lot of the time like but i think that's part of the fun like eurovision super camp is really like big costumes and lots of color and like you know pyrotechnics and part of the love for it i think is that like some are a bit shit yeah like exactly yeah yeah exactly like why did you think cheeky girls was on your vision personally for me the cheeky girls already they've got the look

right they're very camp yeah you don't know how they look like the two twins yeah we are yeah i know but i can't that's the Macarena. You are the cheese. Sure, yeah. Did they do the ketchup song? No. Who is that? See, I would have thought that song is a Eurovision song, but it's not. It would fit right in, honestly.

But yeah, a lot of the music isn't that great. I feel like Eurovision's gone more upmarket now. No. Yeah, maybe. Maybe. I feel like, no mean like a little less cheesy that's just from my personal perspective do you think yeah well maybe with some rider our song this year doesn't sound that cheesy to me like i can actually i yeah i can listen to it i don't mind listen to it i can't remember how it goes i wrote a song instead of you because i think you're bad i don't know how the song goes but i'm gonna sing it like this and then i'll be on eurovision winning it for england watch out

i'll call it rob this england though oh yeah nice okay cool. Can you call it stuff like that? What are you going for? The name of the song will be Rob This England. Rob This England. Are you getting political? It is quite political though Eurovision. It has been like in the past I think it has been quite political. That's why we never get votes I thought because everyone hated us. Yeah exactly. That's what I thought was the thing. Well until last year. Yeah which I was so confused about because brexit i thought i would literally not going to get a single point you know take all the points off but i love the pointing system that's what i remember about

eurovision so that's what i've watched it my money eurovision so basically like somebody stands on the side and then i think this i i i'm so excited to hear what the point is like please tell me what you think what i remember yeah somebody stands at the side the country stands at the side yeah and then there's that i'm already done please i've got this on the tv screen there's somebody that stands on the right hand side i'm getting like the weatherman i'm getting somewhere and stands on the right hand side. Like the weatherman. I'm going somewhere. And then there's like the names of all the countries.

And they go up like this, like bingo. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I do like that bit to be fair. And then we say, Dix, dix points. Angers, Espagne. Is that what they do?

They do it. No way. Strictly. That's so bad. Kind of, I guess. But I was close, right? I don't't know i'm trying to think when i've watched if anyone had like a card like a ring girl so basically it's split like the point is is this can split so there's like what's the highest so there's a um there's a jury okay from each country i know it's very serious business yeah so it's like five people i think on the jury for each country okay i have no idea who

who ours are like i looked at it yeah and i'm thinking simon cowell where you are where are you so good and i also feel like maybe people would be more interested in it yeah there was a jury of people that were like we were like what's simon going to say yeah about germany this year then again i don't think simon wants that smoke because yeah i'm sure everyone and he wants the views so oh that's so true he can't go against his all of his other business ventures exactly but i feel like that's a good point because i don't know the jury i know rylan is hosting yeah yeah he's amazing he's hosting the whole the whole thing so for the uk so it's broadcasting like however many countries it's

watched something like mad like 182 or maybe i've made this up but is it watched by like 182 million people are even that many million people in the world i'm really gonna show myself up can i get a fact check can i get excuse me back to the studio excuse me how many people watch eurovision i think they're watching eurovision right now 180 million. That's mad. Yeah, it's a lot of people. It's the most watched show. But yeah, there's a jury and then there's like the public vote. Okay.

And the public have to call. I guess, yeah. That's how they're taking the people. It's not an app. No, no. It's not. There might be a Eurovision app actually. There might be.

Yeah. There might be. Honestly, I call myself a fan. I don't know anything jamie you've no but you've been there you've enjoyed it you've seen it like i heard you've got a little story for us like what happened oh when i was at the final so when i was in lisbon yeah my friend um so the final is crazy by the way like it's really hard to explain unless you've been there because when i watch if i watch it yeah oh yeah because like some people they'll

be there for like the rehearsal the semis like they're watching things they're buying tickets to go it costs loads of money to get in it's crazy and it is like the biggest gig you you could ever go to yeah because you're watching all these countries the production's mad um and the acts are like royalty for that i can can like for the for the two weeks or whatever they're in that country or they're performing like your Madonna like you know I mean like people are new the paps are on you press it's this that the other and then you do your final performance so my friend Suri so she sang and CK and it was song. Storms don't last forever.

Everyone now. Forever. Everyone now. Come on. Ever remember. Okay, maybe next time. Not on your playlist, I get it. Also, she's going to die when she sees me singing that. So she's doing her performance and it's amazing.

She's there with her mic and it's just like beautiful. And she's, by the way, got the most insane voice like you should do like light show and everything and this guy random man runs onto the stage has now been dubbed the stage invader i think um and grabs her mic out of her hand and starts like going off about um i think it was about the uk press was like trying to kind of get some political message across but that's mad it's it was it was mad it was live i'm there in the arena up in the gods with with her mum her dad and we're like oh my god oh my god what's happening like is this a background dancer like what's happening and yeah the guy stole the? Like what's happening? And yeah, the guy stole the mic and he's got a backpack on.

You think like, what is going on? Yeah, what is going on? Security, please, where are you? And they get him off and like, she was amazing. Like she, like, I don't know how she did it because she was just like straight back in. And like, also like the atmosphere in the place, like I get goosebumps now, like.

Yeah, I can imagine everyone would be like. It's like the atmosphere in the place, I get goosebumps now, like, before I'm cold. Yeah, I can imagine, I wanna be like, but it's like, the atmosphere was madness because everyone was literally like, what just happened? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they asked her if she wanted to sing again and she's like, I'm never gonna get. The atmosphere that happened there and like the feelings and the emotions

that happened in that moment of like, getting the mic back and just like giving it my all so so she didn't sing again so she didn't know which i kind of back that though like yeah it's like you take a moment away and now yeah but then people give you like pity claps and i kind of love that just for the same maybe that's why she didn't want to do it so you want the pity clap yeah just for the moment you know and this is who you want to start a band with um i think so jamie you're in ellie do you have managing experience you know what i'll be managing i'm fine with that content queen content queen yeah oh my day yeah so and

also like i if i put myself in in that situation essentially someone's just like attacked me 100% I think like my nerves would have been shot like and me trying to get back out I mean not that I'm singing to millions of people anyway but the thought of like if that happened to me and then I'd have to go and sing again I'd be like oh my god did she get many points no no the UK I'm gonna say the UK never did and then we bloody won it didn't didn't we yeah no it wasn't she didn't get many points but I think she got like it was a lot of love do you know from the fans yeah fans were like wow like how amazing that you managed to pull that back yeah so big love Suri love. Big up your chest two times. Come on. Who got the mic off him? Some security people?

And then just grabbed it? Yeah, I think so. And then gave it back to her? I feel like I don't remember. It's just all just a blur. It was all a truth. It was all a blur. I can't believe it happened.

Yeah. I honestly, I like freaked out. I think I cried like a crazy. I was a bit kind of like, I was giving mummager vibes. Do you know what I mean? I was giving like Christiana. Like my baby. She's not your child, she's your friend.

But yeah, it was bonkers, yeah. I'm glad she had you guys there with her, regardless of supporting. Oh yeah, and we, I mean, we celebrated in style while everyone was going off to their after parties. We're like, burgers in the hotel lobby, thank you. Yeah, that was it. We're like, we're going yeah burgers in the hotel lobby thank you yeah that was it we're like we're gonna just decompress one thing i can actually imagine is that that energy and that vibe and plus the uk

the sun is coming out so the sun is summer is around the corner yeah i'll be the only person that can burn in liverpool let me tell you factor 60 where are you at yeah honestly you're gonna be at the euro village we need to see all the content i'm going to go wild it is the most fun place is the european village it's such a it's a glorious a magical a mystical place that i can't wait to take you all on a tour of yeah they build a village it's like a kind of little arena thing but um well the one that i went to i'm assuming it's going to be similar in liverpool um although like obviously lisbon was way more sunny and like we could definitely be sure we were having some hopefully liverpool sunny but it's like an open

thing with screens and just like people go in there so if you're not going to like the live shows and things like it's all going to be there and they're doing loads of other like performance bits like they do like live performances there on the stage it's like the olympics it's all gonna be there and they're doing other like performancey bits like they do like live performances there on the stage. It's like the Olympics. It's so fun. Yeah. And like you just you get to know everyone like you make so many friends. It's so nice. I kinda wanna go now, should we go? Come! Yeah we should actually go. Liverpool coming. Yeah. Put my scouse out. Yeah we'll go and dance. Is that the right one? Yeah scouse. Do you wanna practice? I'm from Liverpool from liverpool no yeah no that's quite good i'm from liverpool pretty good now i think that's good that wasn't that bad i thought it could be

worse now to be honest i um oh does everyone have like one phrase that gets them into an accent? When I hear... What do you mean a phrase? For Liverpool, like... Chicken? Yeah, everyone has that, but for some reason... What's that? Chicken? Chicken? Chicken. Chicken, babe.

Chicken? She run? For some reason, mine's like... I want some scrambled eggs in a brew every time. And I don't know why or where I heard it, but I want some scrambled eggs in a brew. I hate Cheryl Cole. Is she from Liverpool? Geordie. You're going to cause some rucks now, I'm afraid.

She's not from Liverpool? Uh-uh. Newcastle? That's also really bad. Oh, that's her. Newcastle? No, let's not from she's not from liverpool uh-uh she's definitely newcastle that's also really bad oh that's newcastle no let's not embarrass yeah that's me anymore the uk will be on us i find it so fascinating that there can be so many like countries involved like how that communication process the amount of people that are involved the translations the yo that's a workload it's like the maddest production ever yeah yeah it's

like the scale of it is wild i think so i think that's what's interesting is rylan gonna be seen by 180 million people no that's why i was just kidding so each country broadcasts it themselves so like we get it broadcast on the bbc but they don't have the bbc in other countries they'll have their own tv channel with their own presenter so just the people in the uk are going to see rylan right no she actually i was so sure i was like wow like he's starting to act this is a big move for rylan i think he should be everywhere country yeah i think he should be everywhere. I think he should be everywhere and then we can bring it home again

times two. I was talking about Eurovision to someone earlier but they were Australian and I was like, da da da da da. They're not part of it,

right? And Ryland and blah blah blah blah and they're like, who did it? No, but they're in the Eurovision now.

They didn't know who Ryland was and I was like, whoa. Wait, hold up, wait, Siren,

why is Australia in the Eurovision? They're not from Europe. I think it's, it's not they all also like their entries are always pretty good to be fair yeah it's like it's like this weird old agreement that was they can be in but why they are on the other side of the world probably a dollar thing because I think they all put money in. So like the big five, which is like UK, Italy, Germany, France, Spain. Yeah, I think they're the big five because I think they put the most money in when it was being set up or they fund it the most each year.

So I guess Australia are probably like, we'll fund it. We'll do some funding. I'm kind of happy for them though because they're so isolated like just down there on their own nobody sent them to be all the way down i love them doing like little old rothschilds bless the little constance they have our part of our flag is in their flag no? yeah like in the little bit

also i feel like australia is a far bigger country than england yeah but like we're like near you we've got like people we've got mates you think we've got mates like Europe is our corner shop yeah exactly oh my god this is amazing I can't wait for the geography episode it's gonna go really well yeah like that makes sense I don't understand the Australia thing that's gone over my head yeah I think they were just like let's be let's all be friends but I'm not gonna lie the day it goes to Australia I'm going oh yeah I'm going I'm definitely going on to that flight if Australia hosted but you've not got tickets for Liverpool it'll take you two minutes how much are the

tickets how much is your thing quite a lot obviously you're a visual you know when we've been I've got him for free I couldn't tell you hi do you need a plus one i'm not going this year i'm not going this year i'm not in the arena this year i'm in the euro village where it's free to go and hang out yeah but i think people spend some serious imagine like literally i think thousands potentially i think the final is like quite serious money it's more expensive than or about the same price than a premier league season ticket sorry yeah yeah I don't know anything Eurovision is my premier league basically because I can tell you one thing about football I don't know how much your tickets are at all.

Yeah. But, yeah, I think, like, quite a lot. Let's get... How much is the ticket? How much is the ticket? We've got a fact-checking going on, guys. Should we do, like, a guess? I think...

Yeah, let's guess. For the final. Ticket to the final. For the final. For the finale. In the pit, like, down at the front. Front and centre. Most expensive ticket.

Most expensive? Yeah. Is it more expensive than Beyyonce tickets yeah oh okay i think that's how the numbers i'm gonna go to two grand two grand yeah stop it i'm gonna go i'm gonna no i think i'm getting silly if we go you can get concert tickets like 150 I'm going 450. I'd say a grand. No, I'd say about 350 to 555. Nah. There's so many people that would want to go, surely. Yeah, but, no comment. Let's say for instance your country's in the final and you know the person like Jamie did

and Jamie was all the way in Lisbon, bigging up her friend. Yeah, but if you're just like some old Joe like... Well, some people are just some old Joe. Yeah. They love Eurovision. And it's been going for so long as well, so... Right, come on, what's our cost check? So it can range from 20 euros...

Oh, what? ...to 200 euros. Oh, okay. I got two grits. Yeah, you were 10 times. Well, okay, so it's not as expensive as I was making out, basically. So maybe everyone should come. 200 quid is a lot of money.

That is more than a Beyonce ticket, right? It's a long concert, though. It is a lot of acts, for sure. Wait, is that just for one day? That's one gig. So you can't even buy a ticket for three days? It's not like a festival. Because you'd be watching the same thing over and over. Because it's just the same acts but they would do like the semi-final

and people can go and watch that and then they do the final people watch that but it's a lot of money it's a lot of money the grand final shows tickets probably start from 80 pound and go up to 390 see that there we go 380 i was not far off with 450. Yeah, you were the closest to be honest. But Eurovision fans, they are like, it's a cult following. Like people are really hot on it. They love it. People like, some people will go every year

to whatever country it's in. Yeah, that's why I thought it'd be really expensive. Cause like if they were two grand, they would sell them. Do you think? Yeah, maybe. I reckon that would, yeah. Two grand. People got money somewhere somewhere they'll buy them

i think it has to be at a level that people can because that's still really expensive like 380 quid or whatever so it has to be at a level that people can afford because you want the people that love it to go don't you don't want just the people that can afford it yeah yeah yeah which is why I think the Eurovillage is so good because it's like even if you can't afford a ticket you're like I'm just gonna go to the city hang out dance with people in the street go to the clubs watch this like yeah it's gonna yeah yeah liverpool we've got to come still cheeky day like cheeky day at liverpool liverpool get some what do they eat in liverpool chips and is it chips and gravy or is that i don't know. It's about four hours away, Christy. Yeah, but we, okay, no, I've got a point, right?

Yeah, we were talking about Ireland. Ireland, yeah. Northern Ireland, sorry. She went to Belfast. Yeah. And then she said, what did you have? I didn't, I had alcohol. I didn't have any.

I ate Guinness for breakfast and dinner. Guinness punch. And then, obviously, you see how Scottish people have haggis. That actually kind of bangs. It's so good, though. It's actually, well, actually, I've never, what is haggis? It's have haggis. That actually kind of bangs. It's so good though. It's actually, well actually, what is haggis? It's just haggis, isn't it? Oh no, come on.

Please. Do you know what it is? No, don't tell me because if you tell me I might feel sick. Oh dear. What is it? It's like. Oh my God. Is it like rotten eggs?

I don't even know what it looks like. Maybe the Scottish people are going to come for me, but I liken it to like black pudding. So it's all the stuff that's... You know black pudding's like blood and the fat and the bits and bobs that are left over. But also haggis has got a load of oats in it. I think it's like that and oats.

Is that porridge? What does it look like? I don't even know what it looks like. It's just like porridge, yeah. It's just porridge. It's like meat porridge. Yeah, it's just porridge. So you see how the Scots have haggis,

fried Mars bars yeah yeah these are countries i just want to right let's do it so these are countries but yeah i guess like regional food yeah wait was liverpool the home of the fried mars bar that's what i want to know because if it is nothing no Scotland is it yeah so what's liverpool the home of pools they like to swim liverpool no oh wow no i the beatles yeah is that it they're the home of music they're supposed to be like yeah big city alexa what is liverpool the home of alexa it's producers producers i just better have loads of chips and gravy or something like that yeah chips and gravy yeah that's like a northern thing generally though i think like chips gravy mushy peas like one of the best things i think the difference between southern and northern chip

shops is northern chip shops you can ask for scraps. Have you ever asked for a bag of scraps? I've heard of it, but I don't think I've asked for it. So it's basically like all the little bits of like, the crunchy fried up chips, all the crunchy bits, all the little bits of like fallen off the fish and stuff, bag of scraps, and they scrape it all in, and you've just got like a bag of batter.

Like, I don't know. I've never bought one, I need to get one. So you're going to Liverpool, you better ask them. Yeah, okay. That's gonna be part never bought one. I need to get one. So you're going to Liverpool. You better ask them. Yeah, okay. That's going to be part of your vlog. I'm going to vlog the Euro Village

and me eating bags of scraps. Liverpool, so have we figured out? Stay tuned for that hot content, guys. Oh my gosh. No, but we'll definitely be with you.

Yes. Following you through your journey at the Eurovision. And hopefully, I can get a good ticket, a decent ticket to Liverpool because those prices are completely expensive yeah i know expenses expensive hi tiapul can you guys cover my you know trip to the eurovision please and thank you

but yeah exciting stuff we're gonna play a quick little quiz because i'm pretty sure you guys are very knowledgeable people and seeing as you guys are beefing me with your green i know i feel like we need to love that seeing as we are green queens together i think we need to team up because i'm not knowing a thing i mean i feel like definitely won't know anything about you no pressure but i'm about to out myself that I also don't know anything. No, I think you guys will be fine. I'm ready.

So I've got ten questions to ask you guys. The Big Five qualify automatically for the final because they deliver large TV audiences and a big chunk of cash to the Eurovisionists. You said that before. Which countries are they? Oh, Spain. Spain.

Yeah, go on, take it away. Germany. France. Italy. which countries are they oh spain spain germany france italy the uk um so you're you guys are saying spain oh we got it wrong no so one option a italy germany neverland spain and the uk oh not france wait i'm giving options let's stick to our guns we don't need options we know we know have they we gave the thing what have you guys gone for italy spain uk france germany let me see let me reveal this question oh you guys are lucky i thought it was the first one these are the hosts and are the only countries guaranteed a spot in so that's like it's a it's a it's a lie then yeah i mean they literally just like we're in the final whatever so you're telling me there's a point where the uk was in the final and they still didn't get no points that's probably why they

didn't get any points they got straight to the final i thought the big five never got any points no i mean they can get points we won last year guys we won last year yeah they do get points but they are automatically in the final because they put the most money in that's a bit yeah it's a bit so next question which of these countries has never won the eurovision song contest oh okay a turkey b portugal three latvia free Latvia for Poland you should know this Turkey no yeah I also think Turkey because no because they they actually are not in it anymore right are they not I might need a fact check on this one but I think Turkey when like before Conchita did it like maybe the year before Conchita performed pulled out yeah um and

then they didn't want to air Conchita's because they found it to be too um political or whatever even though like Conchita's amazing um yeah I'm gonna I think Turkey because they've not been in it a while I don't think I have number one so you guys said turkey our server says it's actually poland oh the other three have won it once each portugal in 2017 turkey 2003 and latvia in 2002. come through poland what are you doing you know this is the one time the one time you don't want me i'm gonna have eyes on poland this year fans are used to voting for their favorite eurovision entry by phone sms or app but in which year was tele televoting first used for the final oh so the options are oh okay i think we get options i mean you guys want to go for the jump go ahead

i was about to be like okay what year was the telephone invented? So, 1, 1977. 2, 1987. 3, 1997. And 4, 2007. You had an app. They didn't have apps in any of those years. No, the phone. Yeah.

Like, you might not remember this, but back in the day, you used to have your phone in the house. And it would have a cable on it, and you could call your mate. Did you actually never see that before? No, of course I did. Did you not? I'm not 12. So you were alive when that was alive? Yeah. Okay.

You were alive when that was alive. So good. I'm gonna go for the... I'm going 70s. The 70s? It's probably gonna be the 80s one, but I think I'm just gonna go... I'm gonna risk it. You're gonna risk it? I'm goings the 70s probably gonna be the 80s one but i think i'm just gonna go i'm gonna risk it you're asking the 70s ellie do you agree with your no i'm in the 80s all right we'll try what the 70s is and our survey says 70s no you guys are wrong 90s 1997 what were people doing before then letters like letters do you know how long that would take i was watching this evening and i think you should

vote for the sixth hour of viewing can you imagine if somebody's standing outside runs around your street collects all your your your votes that'd be cute do you reckon that'd be a nice day out yeah maybe it was like um the election you have to like go and put a thing in a box i don't know what were they doing what were they doing which city has hosted the eurovision song contest the most times one relax relax i'm just like relax i'm like, carry the one. One, Dublin. Two, London. Three, Luxembourg. Or four, Stockholm. Oh, Stockholm. I think it might be Stockholm. Sweden have won before. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know that. Yeah, okay. Okay, yeah, I'm I think we'll go Stockholm on this one.

Yeah. I'm positive. Oh, no. It's going to be Dublin, isn't it? I knew it. What? And I knew it, and I felt it, and my Irish ancestors were telling me, and still I went to Stockholm. You were like, yeah, Sweden's a lot so many times. I don't know.

Yeah, Dublin. Yeah. I didn't know it. I just didn't know it. You guys are very embarrassing because you guys are even wearing the Dublin colours. Yeah, I know. I came to represent. You're embarrassing. You're embarrassing.

I was here for my Irish family. Eurovision though. So they've hosted it an incredible six times. But I always think Sweden Eurovision. No? No. They've only had it for three times actually. When did they last win?

When did Ireland win? I don't know. But, you know, they hosted it six times. Wow. I'm so sorry to all the Fallons out there that are watching. I'm sure. Since Eurovision began, how many countries have competed? 1, 32, 2, 42, 3, 52 or 4, 62. So like the most that have competed at one time since eurovision began how many oh

no please hear the options again okay so one in a moment 32 2 42 i'm going 42 52 or 62 maybe i'm wrong ah i'm going 42 42 i'm so stressed by this. How many? I was gonna say how many countries are there in Europe but we've got Australia now so. It's not too sure it's it's I feel like it's 37 this year. Okay. But then that only means how many? So you've got five more. You've got like all these little ones like Andorra. So like four like extras that over the years you know we've lost Turkey and yeah there's got to be some other. I'm gonna go 52. I'm sticking with it. You're saying 52? Yeah. I'm going 42 all right we're gonna go i'm really stressed about this because i really want to get something right so stop it who said 42 one of us

is gonna be right you're 42 i'm no i'm 42 you're 52 well she's beat me 52 i'm so upset by this so the breakup of the so name them you're wrong honestly i'm gonna get quite competitive about this but you were right with the amount of like numbers of countries that have dropped out and stuff so the breakup of the soviet union greatly increased the number the splits of i can't pronounce that czechoslovakia and yoslavia. Also meaning there are some places that have been competing as two or three distinct nations. Wow. Oh, okay. Interesting. So I'm wrong, basically. That's all I'm hearing. How many? How many this year, though? I think it's 37. Who's keeping track of this? Because we teamed up and now I've got quite competitive and I'm like, we're not on a team. I don't care if you're wearing green we're no longer friends we're on two separate teams and the best prize at the end

26. the bed what i'm just gonna say it might not be as long this year then where did i get it's gonna be like half an hour oh my god wait does that mean there's gonna be no eastenders because eurovision is on oh god i could not tell you i don't even have terrestrial tv i don't know you don't pay for your tv license honestly yes but only very recently please don't come for me the bailiff's come for me now i've got you don't worry i'll cover you okay this is the last question it's a good one actually because i'm even quite interested.

What is the time limit for a Eurovision entry? One, two minutes, 45 seconds, two, three minutes, three, three minutes and 15 seconds or four, three minutes and 30 seconds. But it depends on the amount, how many countries are competing, so you have to squeeze them all in. Maybe. I feel like they've probably kept it like standard. how many countries are competing set to squeeze them all in maybe I thought they probably kept it like standard it's gonna be free or the three and something I think I like the way they concentrate in the thinking I'm really into this like this is why I don't do quizzes I don't care and then suddenly it's like

the world's gonna be divided when should I repeat the options yeah so one is two minutes 45 seconds two is three minutes three is three minutes 15 or three minutes 30 seconds right okay standard track yeah okay they know their music I'm gonna say two minutes 45 don't know why there's something in my 315 yeah it's gonna be free and we're both gonna hate ourselves excellent i'm going three is like a standard number as well why do i do it why do i know and then pick something else it says songs i learned to not doubt myself i need to i need to love myself i mean i've got one love myself mom you got one

i've got one i've got none i don't more. You've got one more? I've got one more. I've got none, I don't think. You're supposed to be the expert. I know. What's happening here? But I think maybe I'm doing the hard work and then you come in at the last minute and sweep it up. So it says,

songs are not allowed to be longer than three minutes, which is perhaps a mercy because can you imagine how many countries? Yeah, that's true. Yeah, that's what they even said. Yeah, three minutes. Wow. That's calm.

At least there's a... I feel like the best songs's really quite short, mate. I wonder if they do like a three and a half radio edit, you know? Like here's the normal one and then this is like the hero version. When they actually perform it, they extend how long they sing it. Because I remember that Sam Rydler? Rydler? Ryder. Ryder.

I really still, I still, I still don't know what you're singing. No, it sounds so... I still don't know what you're singing I remember him standing there and the production was amazing he goes yeah he just kind of screams right this is where we're going to play the clip of Sam actually singing it against Christy's version okay yeah we'll see how spot on it goes I'm gonna play it after this episode i want to be like wow but yeah well done guys okay oh great yeah there weren't any prizes no i didn't win so guys this is the part of the show where we played the brutal we are pun under brew but you know you guys haven't really enjoyed your brew so did i make it did i make it wrong or something um i don't want to upset you oh sorry i'm lactose so

i don't i don't do milk but yes i want to read some brutal statements and y'all have to rate out of 10 10 being the brutalist one being that's that's okay that's all right you know i mean so i've got a few statements here a few you know brutals and um are you guys ready i'm ready i'm ready hit me english please flow like i was born in this in this town and i am one of king charles's right hand man even with your sausage fingers anyways in 2003 i caught my brother wanking while calling the cat i immediately whoa coddling the cat sorry just clarification did i hear yeah okay okay i'm good yeah i immediately blackmailed him into doing small jobs for me 20 years on he's married with kids and i can still get him to do the washing up at christmas by telling him it would

be perfect if he could help i love that wow so this is the person that caught him writing in yeah because i'm like it doesn't feel brutal this feels like clever yeah this is smart why was he walking whilst cutting the cat oh that's the bit that i was like that's a lot so but yeah good thing just want some reality oh wow and meow oh okay well i'm gonna give it like i feel like this played to this person's advantage yeah i'm giving it like a three because i don't want to be seeing my yeah i'd say exactly like he had to witness that cat in his hand oh my god yeah it just made me think of my brother wanking with a cat yeah it's a lot isn't it

so what we're doing to that visual guys we're doing that as a free i'm going free free so next one cousin died when we were both 17 there was a reception at his house just after the funeral i went into his room and stole all the money that was there took some other valuables that his parents wouldn't realize were gone no one knows that i did it they just assumed he didn't have any money in his room only loose change i don't regret it but i will never admit i did it i really love that this just ended with i don't regret it like was just like he doesn't need it wow i i wonder how old this person was though as well like yeah they were 17 when we were both 17 oh i feel like it's a nice parting gift from the cousin no would

the cousin not want to be like go on you go and have a good weekend i don't know how much money it was are we talking loose change or no he's told he said that um he they just assumed i'm guessing his parents would just assume it was loose change but i'm guessing but guys wait he stole all the money that was there and took some other valuable yeah that's that's the bit that is a bit fine wow yeah that is quite brutal isn't it i'm not really bothered about the money because i'm kind of like this person's gone r.i.p but like we they don't need it but valuable is like imagine like there's something that maybe meant something to the parents or you know they're like we're gonna give that to that person as a gift oh it's quite sad i'm gonna give that i'm gonna give it a 6 I'm going to give it like a 7.5

it's quite it's quite deep how dare you do that I'd haunt you boy imagine give me my money you'll be sleeping in here yeah

do you know what I'll do you see Monzo when Monzo takes the money out gives you money oh yeah that'll be the sound i'll be playing somebody's coming out that's how i'm haunting you i'm a teetotaler yeah i don't know what accent you said it in but like you're like i'm a teetotaler but yeah yeah you got it right yeah that means i don't drink i've done it for like a whole year 20 20 the year of covid i don't know why i did that but yeah it happened

so i'm a teetotaler nobody can accept this so i say i'm a recovering alcoholic to shut people up instead of being asked if i've tried a certain drink to be sure if i do or don't like it fucking british drinking culture that is so funny also did my ex write this uh he doesn't drink and and i remember like having a conversation about this to be like what like because people would literally be like oh really oh okay is it and he's like i do for people that don't drink like why like because they get so much like they do it is weird that it's weird to not drink because like we get messy as fuck and like you know we've all well maybe i'm speaking for myself but

i've had some bad hangovers i've made some bad choices because of booze so it's weird that we question people yeah exactly like so it's weird that for people that are like oh hey i don't like making bad choices and feeling shit tomorrow that we're like but why and it's actually quite fun because when i did the teetotalism i think it's called teetotal yeah a whole year during covid people thought i was crazy and when i used to like buy like non-alcoholic like copperbergs and stuff they're like no you definitely bought the right the alcoholic one you're lying to me no but i'm actually fine i'm a vibe without the alcohol yeah yeah i'm still enjoying myself yeah I think it's brutal that this person's getting asked all the time to pretend they're a recovering alcoholic but I kind of like the drama.

Like when they're a night out and then boys are bugging them they just say oh I've got a boyfriend or I've got a girlfriend and they don't actually I feel like it's a similar thing. I guess but I guess they won't they don't take that seriously they'll still try and get your number anyway., it's just true. If I said I'm a recovering alcoholic, you don't want to see me get mad. Although what would be similar is when people ask you,

you're like, I'm celibate. And see how that happens when people try to chat you up. Yeah, that's actually a really good shout. I really want people to try this. If, yeah, next time you single gals, okay, when you're in the bar and someone's, you know, asking you to be like like i'm celibate i'm a nun move on yeah we'll try that so guys please do let us know how that goes when you do

try it so what are we rating that out of 10 um i'm that's low level for me that's a that's a two three maybe yeah it's annoying for this person though yeah i can imagine yeah stop questioning people if they don't want to drink thank you give me some tea instead what's good for you just saying yeah that's end of brutal so this is the part of the show where we play don't spill the tea where you spill the tea and we try not to so guys we're gonna hear some statements from our producer bob producer bob hello he's there that's the voice don't forget it and we're gonna try and not react it's really spinnable very nice grocery store cashier told me she hoped i have a wonderful day i have no idea what possessed me to respond with a friendly thank you i hope you never die

she was probably scared to walk to her car that night oh turn around and die oh wow okay firstly i did not consider the outfit before this because I'm going for some sort of pattern look but I really feel for this person because I do those things where you know like if you're in a restaurant and someone says enjoy your meal and then you go you too and you're like they're not having a meal oh my god why have I said that like this is next level that I've randomly said something I think somebody said like goodbye or like um's okay. You can have that. And I've been like, love you. Yes. Or when you're at school and you'd be like, dad, oh my God.

But I'm not gonna lie, you're in a supermarket. Tell somebody, I hope you don't die. I hope you don't die. I just hope you have a nice life. That's better. Yeah. Have a nice life's even a bit edgy. That's nice. It's nice. Have a nice life it's even a bit edgy it's nice have a nice life

it's like if you said you said someone have a good day but if you said enjoy the next 24 hours oh suddenly it's sinister yeah exactly that's kind of exciting what's gonna have a good one and like have a nice life he is do you yeah do you say have a nice life to people yeah even friends like have a nice life even though we're gonna see him tomorrow i mean yeah i guess it's all in the tone all in the delivery i'm not saying have a nice life that's how i've got it going at it with my boyfriend on the couch all of a sudden he stops with a really weird expression on his face i ask him what's wrong he said your dog just licked my balls i rolled off the couch laughing i mean get involved one there is too much of a sexual animal theme on this podcast

between cuddling cats and dogs licking balls if it's not poo no or ibs it's fucking animals what is going on not the dog not why is the dog in the room well it's hard to get about sometimes so you're gonna have sex whilst the dog's there why is the dog looking at you oh wow they like looking don't they

I thought that was the thing when you see it on films that dogs like looking I've definitely had the cat in the room before oh dear you know when people are like oh like peanut butter and things and like you've heard story i've definitely heard stories wait hold on are we saying maybe they're not real stories people have put definitely peanut butter on the and the dog's licking it yeah i've heard someone

like gave some a dog a wank in a park once in my hometown okay Okay, I'm going home now. Did you say, have a nice life? No, I hope you die. Just after they told you that, yeah. Cool, have a nice life. We don't condone violence to our poor animals. I know, I was a bit, yeah. It's a lot. Even though it's not, but we don't condone it.

I think the dog's happy in that situation, though. I just... What's going on? There is no consent from this dog. No, no, not in that sense this next one just a warning it's pretty gross i don't know if i can read it without throwing up but here we go steve and his girlfriend samantha went off to college in august she went to Florida State, he went to Penn,

so she decided to fly to PA to visit him. He was really happy to see her, so he decided to give her some oral action. He had done this numerous times before and he always enjoyed doing it, but for some reason this time she smelled really horrible and she tasted even worse. He didn't want to offend her because he hadn't seen her in months so he put a jolly rancher in his mouth to cover it up even though it didn't do much to help in the course of eating her out he accidentally pushed the candy inside of her and stuck a finger in to grab it out he took it out and put it back in his mouth and bit it only it wasn't the jolly rancher it was a nodule of gonorrhea as in the blister-like structure of gonorrhea i feel sick i feel sick i feel sick no please stop

i think that's all you need before you bun to teeth bun to fill in the teeth jump inside a fucking swimming pool bro that fully turned my tummy that really

and I was listening to that and I was about to like really get angry about someone coming for someone's like cleanliness and be like listen, you know we're not all... roses and daisies not all the time. No I can't even repeat the words. I actually feel so nauseous hearing that. So he freaked out and started vomiting all over the place when it exploded in his mouth? Yeah. We need to just take the language down a notch. I don't know if that was possible.

Because this is too much. I've learned something about the human body today. No, I'm absolutely done for. What? The story, there's more to the story. All right, hear this. So he demanded to know what was going on. Turns out she had cheated on him at a club the first week of college and fucked some random guy and the girlfriend had no clue what was wrong with her. But she did notice a strange smell.

Yeah, I think you probably would. If you've got blisters, not nodules, did you say, of gonorrhea? I don't know. I did not know you could do that. Wow, I really hope that she got the help that she needed i wonder if they're still together after that oh that is the rankest thing i've ever had i need a mouth transplant whoa because what the hell oh and now i was really ready to come for this guy but bless him going in with a jolly rancher wow oh bless him no more vile normal vagina for him and there you have it another great episode of t at four thank you guys and make sure that you stick around because i'm going to be coming live from liverpool
