00:00:00.586 --> 00:00:02.270
Previously on the Novympia channel:

00:00:02.270 --> 00:00:03.376
You're freaking me out.

00:00:03.376 --> 00:00:05.668
- We're women in STEM.
- We're not women in STEM,

00:00:05.668 --> 00:00:07.269
we don't even know what it means!

00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:08.719
And coming up:

00:00:08.719 --> 00:00:09.761
It's a good hook.

00:00:09.761 --> 00:00:10.666
(stifled burp)

00:00:10.666 --> 00:00:11.380
(Nova) Oh.

00:00:11.380 --> 00:00:12.504
I find you very rude.

00:00:12.504 --> 00:00:14.680
(laughter)

00:00:14.680 --> 00:00:17.582
The Novympia channel is made possible
by our gorgeous patrons,

00:00:17.582 --> 00:00:19.635
who get access to 
the most unappealing crap

00:00:19.635 --> 00:00:21.702
you'll find anywhere 
on the whole internet.

00:00:21.702 --> 00:00:23.180
Cue the snafu!

00:00:23.786 --> 00:00:25.019
Ah, g'day.

00:00:25.019 --> 00:00:26.958
Yes, hello, bloody hell, yes.

00:00:26.958 --> 00:00:30.559
Welcome to another
Novympia Eurovision reaction video.

00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:31.441
My name is Nova.

00:00:31.441 --> 00:00:32.576
Yeah, and I'm Olympia.

00:00:32.576 --> 00:00:34.639
- Today we are dressed like chicks.
- Yeah.

00:00:34.639 --> 00:00:36.346
Sometimes that happens 'round here.

00:00:36.346 --> 00:00:39.793
- Sometimes. Sorry 'bout it.
- Mm, meant to tell you about that.

00:00:39.793 --> 00:00:45.022
Today we are reacting 
to Australia's entry for Eurovision 2024.

00:00:45.022 --> 00:00:45.836
"Oh my god!"

00:00:45.836 --> 00:00:49.624
Why are they even in it, 
they're not even in Europe (laughs)

00:00:49.624 --> 00:00:50.613
Joking, I'm joking.

00:00:50.613 --> 00:00:53.826
I would just like to say that 
Olympia is actually not Australian.

00:00:53.826 --> 00:00:56.511
"So you're a liar. 
Not only are you fake, you're a liar.

00:00:56.511 --> 00:00:57.620
There you go. Ba-boom."

00:00:57.620 --> 00:00:59.571
- I'm not Australian, no.
- That is a lie.

00:00:59.571 --> 00:01:00.722
Ah, yes, no I am.

00:01:00.722 --> 00:01:04.157
And also, how lovely 
to react to my home nation today.

00:01:04.157 --> 00:01:05.087
She's a liar.

00:01:05.087 --> 00:01:05.870
Yes.

00:01:05.870 --> 00:01:06.821
And a fraudster.

00:01:06.821 --> 00:01:08.222
Also, just very very quickly,

00:01:08.222 --> 00:01:11.103
because I know good goddamn well 
there will be comments,

00:01:11.103 --> 00:01:13.870
Australia, yes they're not in Europe.

00:01:13.870 --> 00:01:18.120
They were invited to take part 
in Eurovision in 2015

00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:20.721
as a bit of a milestone celebration

00:01:20.721 --> 00:01:23.606
'cause they'd broadcast Eurovision 
for years and years.

00:01:23.606 --> 00:01:24.865
And then they were like,

00:01:24.865 --> 00:01:27.384
well we're already in it,
we might as well stay in it.

00:01:27.384 --> 00:01:31.992
There are several countries in Eurovision 
not in Europe, but they are in the EBU.

00:01:31.992 --> 00:01:35.891
The requirement is that you are a member 
of the European Broadcasting Union,

00:01:35.891 --> 00:01:37.957
and Australia now are.

00:01:37.957 --> 00:01:40.268
So they're in it, 
and I love that they're in it,

00:01:40.268 --> 00:01:42.373
and we're not gonna talk 
about it any more.

00:01:42.373 --> 00:01:45.724
Now, who is representing Australia 
for 2024, Nova?

00:01:45.724 --> 00:01:47.378
Are they called Electric Fields?

00:01:47.378 --> 00:01:50.074
So, Electric Fields are a duo.

00:01:50.074 --> 00:01:51.663
It's electronic music,

00:01:51.663 --> 00:01:55.368
and I know that the one artist 
is called Zaachariaha.

00:01:55.368 --> 00:01:57.419
I can't remember 
the name of the other one.

00:01:57.419 --> 00:02:00.552
What I do know is that 
Electric Fields participated

00:02:00.552 --> 00:02:03.491
in Australia's national final,
which they haven't had now

00:02:03.491 --> 00:02:04.719
for a couple of years,

00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:07.003
but they did have one 
called Australia Decides.

00:02:07.003 --> 00:02:09.144
- And they entered into...
- It was real good.

00:02:09.144 --> 00:02:12.353
I want to say it was 2019 
with a song called "2000 And Whatever".

00:02:12.353 --> 00:02:14.412
So we are aware of Electric Fields,

00:02:14.412 --> 00:02:17.135
and in particular, 
the vocalist Zaachariaha,

00:02:17.135 --> 00:02:20.798
who is an Indigenous artist, 
nonbinary artist,

00:02:20.798 --> 00:02:22.703
has a killer voice.

00:02:22.703 --> 00:02:26.667
The charisma that exudes 
when they're onstage

00:02:26.667 --> 00:02:29.058
A really infectious stage presence.

00:02:29.058 --> 00:02:31.074
And the vocal is insane.

00:02:31.074 --> 00:02:34.874
So, we have heard the song 
they're submitting this year.

00:02:34.874 --> 00:02:38.726
We have, I'm also glad 
that we're not doing a blind reaction.

00:02:38.726 --> 00:02:41.441
I know a lot of you guys 
prefer a blind reaction,

00:02:41.441 --> 00:02:47.366
but sometimes I think it is best 
for us to listen to a song a few times,

00:02:47.366 --> 00:02:49.924
do a little bit of research, 
and just sit with it.

00:02:49.924 --> 00:02:54.958
Because my initial reaction to this 
probably wouldn't have been

00:02:54.958 --> 00:02:59.002
as positive or as strong 
as the feelings I have for it now.

00:02:59.002 --> 00:03:02.085
Yes, and some of the songs 
we have reacted to blindly,

00:03:02.085 --> 00:03:03.882
some we've milled over for a while,

00:03:03.882 --> 00:03:07.581
so throughout the whole playlist
of reaction videos for this year,

00:03:07.581 --> 00:03:09.636
there's a bit of a mixed bag in there.

00:03:09.636 --> 00:03:12.503
But we thought 
"2000 And Whatever" was sick,

00:03:12.503 --> 00:03:15.501
I think that would've been 
an excellent entry for Australia.

00:03:15.501 --> 00:03:17.470
Let's watch this one if you're ready to.

00:03:17.470 --> 00:03:18.173
Yeah.

00:03:18.173 --> 00:03:21.785
And we'll talk about how we feel 
like this is gonna go for them.

00:03:21.785 --> 00:03:25.803
So the song is called "One Milkali", 
which translates to "one blood".

00:03:25.803 --> 00:03:29.235
♪ ("One Milkali" by Electric Fields) ♪
I will say, straight off the bat,

00:03:29.235 --> 00:03:34.909
that this is a "music video",
if you can call it that.

00:03:34.909 --> 00:03:36.417
This is a lyric video.

00:03:36.417 --> 00:03:38.376
- So interestingly, 
- Let's be real.

00:03:38.376 --> 00:03:40.993
the Eurovision channel 
called it "official video".

00:03:40.993 --> 00:03:43.452
On their channel, 
it's called a lyric video.

00:03:43.452 --> 00:03:45.987
Is it? Okay, interesting.

00:03:45.987 --> 00:03:47.777
Hang on, let's just pause it.

00:03:47.777 --> 00:03:49.457
I've said this before, though,

00:03:49.457 --> 00:03:53.175
Eurovision has a way of defining 
how it uploads its videos,

00:03:53.175 --> 00:03:56.954
either as "Official Music Video" 
or "National Final Performance".

00:03:56.954 --> 00:03:58.884
They're very binary like that,

00:03:58.884 --> 00:04:00.993
they don't come up 
with anything in between.

00:04:00.993 --> 00:04:03.140
So they've called this 
"Official Music Video"

00:04:03.140 --> 00:04:05.141
It's not a music video!
It literally isn't.

00:04:05.141 --> 00:04:07.451
They're just sitting there...
it's a lyric video.

00:04:07.451 --> 00:04:08.276
Okay, okay.

00:04:08.276 --> 00:04:10.326
So this doesn't give away
anything, does it?

00:04:10.326 --> 00:04:11.055
Okay.

00:04:11.055 --> 00:04:12.281
Okay so we've got--

00:04:12.281 --> 00:04:16.225
This is the bit where I feel like 
it starts to get going.

00:04:16.421 --> 00:04:20.520
There's literally a digeridoo in this, 
which, I'm obsessed with that,

00:04:20.520 --> 00:04:22.550
I love that element.

00:04:24.824 --> 00:04:26.888
So it's very easy listening.

00:04:28.146 --> 00:04:31.401
(both singing) Milkali la, milkali.

00:04:33.361 --> 00:04:38.099
When I first saw this, 
I was a bit disappointed,

00:04:38.099 --> 00:04:41.946
Because again, we're provided 
with this visual which looks

00:04:41.946 --> 00:04:44.326
incredibly low-budget and very simple,

00:04:44.326 --> 00:04:47.513
and I was a bit disappointed with that.

00:04:47.513 --> 00:04:52.714
I also didn't initially react very well 
to the song, but now I think it's a vibe.

00:04:53.243 --> 00:04:56.531
Yeah, I'm not in love with like, 
a message song.

00:04:56.531 --> 00:05:00.399
They tend to be sometimes 
very kind of like, I don't know,

00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:03.965
feed the world, or save the Earth, 
or we're all one voice, or whatever.

00:05:03.965 --> 00:05:07.499
They tend to be sometimes, 
a little bit like, an eyeroll.

00:05:07.499 --> 00:05:12.650
So the idea is like, we are one blood, 
we are one kind of like, human,

00:05:12.650 --> 00:05:15.449
and therefore, 
we should celebrate our differences

00:05:15.449 --> 00:05:18.867
rather than be divisive about it.

00:05:18.867 --> 00:05:21.295
So, it's a very straightforward message.

00:05:23.048 --> 00:05:25.961
I don't think they tend 
to do very well at Eurovision though,

00:05:25.961 --> 00:05:29.147
I feel like that's something 
that people are gonna resist about it.

00:05:29.147 --> 00:05:30.601
I don't like the lyrics.

00:05:30.892 --> 00:05:34.361
Some of the lyrics are a little... 
perhaps a bit clunky.

00:05:34.361 --> 00:05:36.394
I don't even know if it's clunky,

00:05:36.394 --> 00:05:40.461
I just... maybe it's just me 
being a miserable sod,

00:05:40.461 --> 00:05:46.878
but it's kind of a bit too happy for me, 
and I want a bit more of an edge to it.

00:05:46.878 --> 00:05:49.281
And maybe the edge is that 
this is a queer couple

00:05:49.281 --> 00:05:51.745
and that's kind of lost on us, 
being queer.

00:05:51.745 --> 00:05:53.849
I don't know if they are a couple.

00:05:53.849 --> 00:05:55.593
They just went in for a kiss.

00:05:55.593 --> 00:05:57.931
So? I kiss Char all the time, 
what's your point?

00:05:57.931 --> 00:05:59.620
(laughs)

00:06:00.323 --> 00:06:01.901
The thing is, okay-

00:06:02.461 --> 00:06:06.013
The thing that disappoints me- 
or, it's not even disappointing,

00:06:06.013 --> 00:06:11.730
but knowing the performance that 
Zaachariaha gives consistently onstage,

00:06:11.730 --> 00:06:13.182
and the vocal,

00:06:13.182 --> 00:06:16.915
it's difficult to know exactly 
quite how impressive

00:06:16.915 --> 00:06:21.060
and how much of a show this is gonna be, 
just based on the studio recording.

00:06:21.060 --> 00:06:23.039
It's not very much to go off, is it?

00:06:23.039 --> 00:06:25.342
I think a lot of people 
have written this off,

00:06:25.342 --> 00:06:26.827
but would be foolish to.

00:06:26.827 --> 00:06:30.925
Because I think this is going to be- 
I mean, the production on this is lovely.

00:06:30.925 --> 00:06:33.576
It's not, like, 
the most fresh-sounding thing.

00:06:33.576 --> 00:06:36.676
There are a few elements 
that make it a bit dated in my opinion.

00:06:36.676 --> 00:06:38.135
It's very retro, I would say.

00:06:38.135 --> 00:06:42.043
It sounds a little bit... I don't know, 
there's a few kind of like house elements,

00:06:42.043 --> 00:06:45.592
or things that are a bit... 
not necessarily too fresh.

00:06:45.592 --> 00:06:48.625
I hate that that was the way 
the song was introduced.

00:06:48.625 --> 00:06:50.358
You'd rather nothing?

00:06:50.358 --> 00:06:52.942
I would really have preferred 
a live performance,

00:06:52.942 --> 00:06:57.048
and I find it odd that 
they couldn't have scrambled together

00:06:57.048 --> 00:06:59.248
to put a live performance together.

00:06:59.248 --> 00:07:03.365
Even if it was then 
dubbed with the studio cut,

00:07:03.365 --> 00:07:06.281
like, I think that would've been
more pleasing to look at.

00:07:06.281 --> 00:07:10.947
I think this automatically 
makes people go like, no budget, er...

00:07:10.947 --> 00:07:12.618
It does feel a bit weird.

00:07:12.618 --> 00:07:13.542
I don't know.

00:07:13.542 --> 00:07:16.568
Perhaps they're just biding their time 
and when it's done live,

00:07:16.568 --> 00:07:17.669
it is gonna be a show.

00:07:17.669 --> 00:07:19.603
If you go and watch 
"2000 And Whatever"-

00:07:19.603 --> 00:07:23.409
I mean, I can't undersell
how impressive Zaachariaha's vocal is.

00:07:23.409 --> 00:07:25.625
I much preferred that song, I have to say.

00:07:25.625 --> 00:07:29.024
And their style of performing 
is just very, very impressive,

00:07:29.024 --> 00:07:31.985
and it's like a party starting 
kind of like, I don't know.

00:07:31.985 --> 00:07:34.954
It just turns everything into like, 
an arena, almost, feeling.

00:07:34.954 --> 00:07:36.820
'cause it is just like, very impactful.

00:07:36.820 --> 00:07:40.742
I like the point of view, 
I like that these are queer artists,

00:07:40.742 --> 00:07:44.227
Zaachariaha's a nonbinary artist, 
I like the Indigenous elements to this,

00:07:44.227 --> 00:07:46.812
the digeridoo is sick, 
the intention is strong,

00:07:46.812 --> 00:07:48.244
and the performance is strong.

00:07:48.244 --> 00:07:50.298
We've got some 
Indigenous language as well.

00:07:50.298 --> 00:07:52.160
I love that, especially from Australia.

00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:54.681
I don't believe we've had that 
from Australia before.

00:07:54.681 --> 00:07:56.172
Correct me if I'm wrong.

00:07:56.172 --> 00:07:57.110
I'm not sure.

00:07:57.110 --> 00:07:58.897
So I love everything about that.

00:07:58.897 --> 00:08:03.528
I just wonder if the message angle 
about it is a little...

00:08:03.528 --> 00:08:06.157
some of the lyrics, yeah, 
they are a little bit trite.

00:08:06.157 --> 00:08:09.781
Again, it might just be me being 
super cynical and being miserable,

00:08:09.781 --> 00:08:13.330
but I do almost do a bit
of an eyeroll at some of this.

00:08:13.330 --> 00:08:16.710
Just because I feel like 
it's so positive,

00:08:16.710 --> 00:08:18.977
and it's so happy and feel-good.

00:08:18.977 --> 00:08:20.952
And that's fantastic,

00:08:20.952 --> 00:08:23.559
and a lot of people need 
and want this kind of music,

00:08:23.559 --> 00:08:27.478
but for me, I would just like 
a bit of an edge somewhere.

00:08:27.478 --> 00:08:30.069
I feel like I'm almost getting that 
in the production.

00:08:30.069 --> 00:08:32.748
Some of the the production
has elements that I'm like,

00:08:32.748 --> 00:08:34.327
ooh, that's a nice little twist,

00:08:34.327 --> 00:08:38.959
but ultimately, 
it's just a bit too feel-good.

00:08:38.959 --> 00:08:43.611
It almost borders on cliché to me, 
and that's where I personally resist it.

00:08:43.611 --> 00:08:46.739
It's- I think this is one 
of the bigger question marks

00:08:46.739 --> 00:08:49.527
of the season, in the sense that 
we really just don't know

00:08:49.527 --> 00:08:51.191
how this is gonna play out onstage.

00:08:51.191 --> 00:08:54.822
The other thing is, in terms of what 
we've been given with this studio cut,

00:08:54.822 --> 00:08:57.092
It's nice, I mean,
we thought it was lovely,

00:08:57.092 --> 00:08:58.261
we will listen to it,

00:08:58.261 --> 00:09:00.482
but is it going to translate to the stage

00:09:00.482 --> 00:09:02.827
the way that we want it to 
and hope that it will?

00:09:02.827 --> 00:09:04.156
It's a question mark.

00:09:04.156 --> 00:09:06.345
The video's not really giving 
anything either.

00:09:06.345 --> 00:09:09.448
I've seen a lot of comparisons 
to Belgium last year with Gustaph.

00:09:09.448 --> 00:09:11.649
I actually really responded well to that

00:09:11.649 --> 00:09:15.248
- I feel like people described that
- I hated that song (laughs)

00:09:15.248 --> 00:09:16.687
as a surprise qualify.

00:09:16.687 --> 00:09:18.726
I was not surprised to see that qualify.

00:09:18.726 --> 00:09:19.723
I liked the song,

00:09:19.723 --> 00:09:21.953
and it was staged
and performed really well.

00:09:21.953 --> 00:09:24.943
But that to me was more of a dance track.

00:09:24.943 --> 00:09:29.558
It was- I had that kind of access to it, 
that it was a dance track.

00:09:29.558 --> 00:09:32.439
- This, you can dance to it.
- It's more mellow.

00:09:32.439 --> 00:09:34.354
But yes, it's a bit more mid-tempo.

00:09:34.354 --> 00:09:37.221
It's more mellow, I don't think 
it's gonna lean that dancey.

00:09:37.221 --> 00:09:39.988
If this had a faster tempo, 
maybe that would draw me in,

00:09:39.988 --> 00:09:41.538
I don't know, I can only speak

00:09:41.538 --> 00:09:44.072
on my own personal opinions 
and feelings with this.

00:09:44.072 --> 00:09:46.072
It's just there's something about this

00:09:46.072 --> 00:09:48.382
that doesn't quite resonate 
with me completely.

00:09:48.382 --> 00:09:52.061
Yes, I think that it has 
every respectable quality to it

00:09:52.061 --> 00:09:53.266
where it should qualify,

00:09:53.266 --> 00:09:55.835
and might well qualify 
based on the performance alone,

00:09:55.835 --> 00:09:58.595
which I'm guessing - a lot of this 
is obviously guesswork.

00:09:58.595 --> 00:09:59.938
But is it actually going to?

00:09:59.938 --> 00:10:02.770
It's hard to say at this point.
Don't know. Just don't know.

00:10:02.770 --> 00:10:03.878
Who is it up against?

00:10:03.878 --> 00:10:06.098
Um- (strained mumbling)

00:10:06.098 --> 00:10:07.182
So, I don't know.

00:10:07.182 --> 00:10:09.816
It is kind of mid-tempo, 
it is kind of mellow.

00:10:09.816 --> 00:10:13.697
It is going up against Finland's, 
which is obviously very like

00:10:13.697 --> 00:10:14.411
(low gasp)

00:10:14.411 --> 00:10:15.119
(scream)

00:10:15.389 --> 00:10:19.066
Um, it's going up against Slovenia 
and Portugal.

00:10:19.066 --> 00:10:21.669
Ah, there's a quality to them that... ugh.

00:10:21.669 --> 00:10:24.526
I don't think there's anything, 
directly comparable to this.

00:10:24.526 --> 00:10:27.596
It's in the second half 
of the first ceremony, a nice slot, but-

00:10:27.596 --> 00:10:29.532
Will people pick up the phone for this?

00:10:29.532 --> 00:10:31.725
It really is dependent
on the live performance.

00:10:31.725 --> 00:10:33.151
It's so dependent on the live.

00:10:33.151 --> 00:10:36.587
Which again, I've said all along, 
is probably gonna be sensational and--

00:10:36.587 --> 00:10:39.068
I also think, though, 
that a good live performance

00:10:39.068 --> 00:10:41.751
is not gonna be good enough, 
it has to be staged well.

00:10:41.751 --> 00:10:46.168
Staging has become so integral 
to Eurovision, especially this year

00:10:46.168 --> 00:10:47.714
where the standard is so high.

00:10:47.714 --> 00:10:50.730
I think a lot of great acts 
and great performances

00:10:50.730 --> 00:10:53.564
are going to be set apart 
by how they're staged.

00:10:53.564 --> 00:10:55.787
Yeah, it's very very hard to know.

00:10:55.787 --> 00:10:57.983
I don't think I'd put this 
particularly high,

00:10:57.983 --> 00:11:00.981
it's sort of very comfortably 
in the middle of the pack for me,

00:11:00.981 --> 00:11:04.847
which I suspect will change 
once I see a live performance of it.

00:11:04.847 --> 00:11:07.514
It's such a question mark, I don't know.

00:11:07.514 --> 00:11:10.758
I have ranked this fairly low.

00:11:10.758 --> 00:11:12.644
I've got this 30th.

00:11:12.644 --> 00:11:13.738
(Olympia) That is low.

00:11:13.738 --> 00:11:16.043
And that's not to say I don't like it,

00:11:16.043 --> 00:11:18.328
but I don't think I would choose 
to put this on.

00:11:18.328 --> 00:11:21.104
Again, that's just a me thing.
I think this is a good song.

00:11:21.104 --> 00:11:22.690
There's a lot to like about it,

00:11:22.690 --> 00:11:25.197
and I'm happy that we're seeing 
artists like this.

00:11:25.197 --> 00:11:28.135
But, I don't know, 
I prefer "2000 And Whatever".

00:11:28.135 --> 00:11:30.508
Yeah, it's not a skip, 
I think that's the thing.

00:11:30.508 --> 00:11:31.868
It's not necessarily a skip.

00:11:31.868 --> 00:11:32.875
It's not a skip, no.

00:11:32.875 --> 00:11:36.119
Um, I've got it 26th, 
but I don't know, I might have to...

00:11:36.119 --> 00:11:37.835
Maybe it'll be slightly higher...

00:11:37.835 --> 00:11:40.651
(Nova) And we've said before 
that our rankings will change

00:11:40.651 --> 00:11:44.735
as we see rehearsal footage, 
as we see pre-party footage

00:11:44.735 --> 00:11:47.029
as we get a better idea 
as to how these artists

00:11:47.029 --> 00:11:49.243
are bringing these songs to Malmö.

00:11:49.243 --> 00:11:51.192
At the moment, 
everything's hypothetical,

00:11:51.192 --> 00:11:52.691
we're just going off potential.

00:11:52.691 --> 00:11:53.999
It always is.

00:11:53.999 --> 00:11:56.962
I think there's maybe like, 
five or so left for us to do,

00:11:56.962 --> 00:12:02.030
and we have already gone past the point 
where it is now so difficult to know

00:12:02.030 --> 00:12:04.988
what's gonna qualify, 
even with songs yet to...

00:12:04.988 --> 00:12:07.406
or, in our timeline 
when we're doing this now,

00:12:07.406 --> 00:12:09.547
I think there's only one left 
to be revealed.

00:12:09.547 --> 00:12:11.413
- Armenia might be the last one.
- Yes.

00:12:11.413 --> 00:12:14.463
But Armenia, better fucking hope 
it's a banger, because (laughs)

00:12:14.463 --> 00:12:15.692
It's so hard, like,

00:12:15.692 --> 00:12:19.679
we're starting to look 
at our prediction for qualification,

00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:21.762
and it is absolutely stacked.

00:12:21.762 --> 00:12:25.292
I actually think the second semifinal 
might be more difficult to predict

00:12:25.292 --> 00:12:26.147
than the first.

00:12:26.147 --> 00:12:30.402
But yeah, it's an absolute sort of 
mindfuck currently.

00:12:30.402 --> 00:12:32.802
Those videos that we're gonna do 
will be available

00:12:32.802 --> 00:12:34.428
only exclusively on Patreon.

00:12:34.428 --> 00:12:35.534
Nova, isn't that right?

00:12:35.534 --> 00:12:36.443
Yes. Yes, yes, yes.

00:12:36.443 --> 00:12:40.230
We've also got the Discord over there, 
there's my podcast, all that good stuff.

00:12:57.147 --> 00:12:57.856
Right.

00:13:02.780 --> 00:13:06.763
I also wanna say that before people ask us
where these videos are,

00:13:06.763 --> 00:13:10.697
we are now towards the end 
of reviewing the Eurovision entries,

00:13:10.697 --> 00:13:14.563
and we have decided we are not covering 
a few countries for various reasons.

00:13:14.563 --> 00:13:17.018
A lot of people have asked, 
"where's Luxembourg?"

00:13:17.018 --> 00:13:19.730
We have touched on that 
in the last review,

00:13:19.730 --> 00:13:21.678
and answered in the comments before.

00:13:21.678 --> 00:13:25.260
There are things surrounding 
the Luxembourg entry

00:13:25.260 --> 00:13:28.152
that we don't feel comfortable 
with covering it.

00:13:28.152 --> 00:13:30.508
We've tried not to go 
into too much detail,

00:13:30.508 --> 00:13:33.657
'cause a lot of it is speculation, 
and doesn't have hard evidence.

00:13:33.657 --> 00:13:35.857
But we don't feel comfortable 
with that entry.

00:13:35.857 --> 00:13:37.226
Something's not right there.

00:13:37.226 --> 00:13:40.221
We also don't like the song, 
so it's been a very easy decision.

00:13:40.221 --> 00:13:41.491
We're not touching that.

00:13:41.491 --> 00:13:44.168
We're not gonna cover Israel, 
for obvious reasons.

00:13:44.168 --> 00:13:47.230
We're not gonna cover Azerbaijan, 
for obvious reasons.

00:13:47.230 --> 00:13:51.130
We've more recently decided 
we're not going to be reacting to Iceland.

00:13:51.130 --> 00:13:53.313
That song we do not rate.

00:13:53.313 --> 00:13:56.629
Nothing against Hera personally 
whatsoever,

00:13:56.629 --> 00:14:00.203
- not a bad word to say about the woman.
- That whole situation is so dumb.

00:14:00.203 --> 00:14:03.613
But we do not like that song, 
I think that was a ridiculous song.

00:14:03.613 --> 00:14:06.513
We believe that that became selected

00:14:06.513 --> 00:14:10.113
through really, really suspicious 
nefarious means.

00:14:10.113 --> 00:14:12.047
Don't like it. Won't be covering it.

00:14:12.047 --> 00:14:12.748
Not doing it.

00:14:12.748 --> 00:14:15.770
So just to put that out there, 
won't be covering those entries.

00:14:15.770 --> 00:14:18.689
Uh, but there's a couple left to do, 
we will be doing Sweden,

00:14:18.689 --> 00:14:21.673
we will be doing Georgia, 
we will be doing Armenia, I believe.

00:14:21.673 --> 00:14:23.212
There might be-
oh, and Portugal.

00:14:23.212 --> 00:14:24.030
Portugal, yeah.

00:14:24.030 --> 00:14:24.934
That might be it.

00:14:24.934 --> 00:14:26.656

- Greece.

00:14:26.656 --> 00:14:28.773
