That Time We Went To Eurovision with Tim

hi I'm Matt I'm I'm Tom Mountain and this is the part bag we have threatened to get Tim on here for a long time ah the light is fading but nevertheless I'm here hi all six foot seven feet whole six foot seven flailing decided I might deliberately pop the video in a bit just so the top of your head is just oh okay well yeah I mean there's not a lot of letter to see so you know how easily I'm good he's all really good I am kid I'm not I'm happy I'm doing I'm a happy person you are you are see that's the opposite of the we set up before filming this where you were meant to say oh yes right now I'm not happy that's a very this is a happy Tim I am NOT happy and I'll tell you this is something I am actually angry yeah but I'd momentarily forgotten about one of them production I am angry right now because we're not in Stockholm we're in a bench in rubbish London London's not rubbish honest good but right now it's not Stockholm because the Eurovision Song Contest is not happening here no and the reason we're not in Stockholm is because we didn't try to get tickets for Eurovision this year hmm his fault because I successfully convinced you earlier this year he wasn't worth trying wouldn't hold up to was it last year or the year before it was here for two years ago it wouldn't hold up to that same sport it wasn't worth trying to get tickets because we went we went we well the year before that we went to the semi-finals it was brilliant that's all I mean why if you want to guide to Eurovision there are loads of them online if you are American or are outside the U and don't understand what your revision is go look we're not going to try and explain it but your Twitter time my whatever is gonna get taken away 48 hours there would have been so many articles written on it on every BuzzFeed alike yeah I'm a BuzzFeed also if you're on tumblr I know this specifically Eurovision is about to take over your dashboard laughs tonight is gonna be a mess just enjoy so Tim and I went to watch one of the semi-finals a couple years before that and it was great fun we thought right let's try and get tickets for the fun and we did we did against all odds because we have three of us refreshing that web page a lot I just well I had three devices on go I wish every it's one normal gig sized venue with all of Europe yeah being the target audience for the gig yes and we got we got tickets we got we got standing room tickets somewhere near ish the front so we go off to was it was Colton Copenhagen it was gone earlier before yeah and then across the bridge the bridge the bridge the bridge from the TV series the bridge the orison bridge yes so we went to Malmo the year before and then that year we went to Copenhagen and my language I'm don't just because you thought we flew on that bridge Oh going to a film Estonia on the way to a so we saw it for the window it's very pretty I think we've mentioned that before me I'd basically folks on the plane were wondering some labs on the plane wondering why yeah who's taking the photo out the window I like what's down there I then want them turns to me says you don't like you know about bridges wait what I'd be offended he does what I do I got it so he told them yeah um yeah so we stay in malmö we take the bridge tunnel to Copenhagen we queue up six hours early for the show six hours early and raining that was my fault yep this was entirely mine I mean in India it's good to be organized so there's there's that it was on an island so we have a revision Island we had to get a boat to this island that had a massive warehouse he thing that they had converted into a TV studio a gig venue II think yeah and we turned up we must be one of the first 50 in the queue maybe because well because I thought I thought we'll get there there'll be food and drink stands on Eurovision Island ah we'll get some food get some rig when the queue starts happening we'll go and it's it said on email don't arrive too late we've got we've got food and drinks and stuff petaboys it was closed close friend stuff can't get a lot of ira one of the things i remember vividly is a load of just ahead of us in the queue yeah a load of spanish girls yep singing standing in the rain that's who the tune of that year's spanish entry singing in the rain yeah you remember Larry they would be there was the Icelandic group just ahead of us there were Germans behind but it was a really it was despite it being raining for some of it it was a really nice cute it was um there was some Brits from the back going around handing out sweets and drinks to people are in the key um it was closed because the last rehearsal was going on inside and as a rehearsal you can still attend that if you didn't yeah it's another venue Tibet way of getting the girls show happens four times so there are four viewings on also yeah dress rehearsals the big rehearsal and fine know during a jury rehearsal jury final dress rehearsal final flight um and we also learned the universal call of the Brit abroad because as that audience files out the you know someone comes out group comes out with an Icelandic flag it's a bit of a bit of it yeah yeah comes out and boot comes out the French a group comes out with a British flag why it's the homing cause of arrest uh euro hooligans and then it gets to a bit closer the rain starts to abate a little bit it was it sort of happened that the the key sort of started we're sitting on the ground yeah and this learn to stand up and like oh oh something's happening oh I'm there's some shouting from further down from from the entrance on people are getting excited we're all here we don't know what's going on but then the gate token of it but very slowly I mean people are going through like we have Tim you have big albums here big oh sorry I didn't mean to a lot of Europeans as we followed in his white door huh cuz we were gonna get in there and we did we did I'm the mr. gates behind us so we got far behind us yeah it it turns out they they let a few of us in early and then let the rest of them queuing and they scanned our tickets yeah this is weird yeah the Baja I'm sure a MIDI it was really weird because they lined us up like school kids the lines on yeah like to go too much like it was literally sitting stay in your line - bye - and don't leave the line don't jump the queue don't leave the line or you'll be chucked out like okay they're leading us through the where we can get the food get drinks it's all shut yeah and then we stop outside the toilets yeah and say okay these are the toilets please use the toilets you will not have a chance to use them for another hour at least so if you want to go let's go that's weird that's not a normal audience thing I don't like I don't like weighing myself so I went to the toilet very few people do but the queue is still back there this still on open the gates we're we're and then they lead us in further that leads into an anteroom next something big marquee tent there's one concession stand open to get food and drink so we do staying in the line got to stay on the line two by two behind those they've let the crowds and the crowd wrote a barrier near the back and they're kind of is looking at us and wondering what we're doing what as well yeah we don't know what we do yeah well yeah we keep going and then they'd like to see Tommy we've got go to there's a small pen of right here front we're right at the front we are at the barrier at the front and we realize what's happened with silversword people standing next to us looking at their ticket yeah what those tickets cool they've got super fun jeans we're supposed to go for a lot of manage and waste we had to get to right at the back of the standing area we had been led in I'm just playing out here no one said anything to us about this until we were there we think the the assumption they made was that anybody that was weird enough to stand in line for six hours pouring with rain was gonna be a super fan and they're gonna have bought that ticket that lets them in there and no one checked on in our defense we didn't know that until we were in there and when there was a massive crowd behind us and we couldn't do anything about it even if one wanted to so let's be honest we did we didn't we didn't because we were at the front we were at the barrier front and then which means we were on TV we were on TV yeah particularly because six-foot-seven here I understand above the crowd yeah you know I've got the hair yeah you gonna head the mat is visible with the hair I'm visible there Thomas Thomas visible so I thought after we did that after we were at the front I mean how I filmed a video there because we were in there 100 people no one else in I'm not right can you hold my camera I uploaded it over your visions Wi-Fi which had not yet died through two thousand three thousand ten thousand people coming into me the arena and it worked and we were at the front and we saw Conchita Wurst win that year mm-hmm and it was a heck of a show and my favorite thing was when all they brought all the artists out right at the beginning and I would be where everyone was yelling up and I yelled at Molly who was yes Molly Sandin who was a yeah Molly yes and she it was unless she looked down and smiled yeah you taste my over miles yeah I yield the morale the stories because I'm going to try and wrap this park bench up in a neat Swift bow mm-hmm the moral of the story is that all those things you hear about walking confidently into somewhere about making people believe you're meant to be there about if you can somehow convince yourself that you are meant to be there other people will believe you too huh or if you can be silly enough not to realize that you're not meant to be yeah but I'm glad we were because the VIX the staging the everything at Eurovision is so good in person it is world-class I think just it looks because it looks big on TV yeah but when you're there is a tiny little person you staging is kind of well yeah you know so to finish what's your tips for Eurovision this year because this is going to go up on Saturday Eurovision is going to be in a few hours time I love Azerbaijan song but it's not going to win I love Russia's song because the staging is it's a great song and the staging is kind of like months on Milo's last year of they ripped off no well it starts out looking like they've ripped it off right and some countries have ripped off okay but where's projection mapping and interactive graphics from the winning song Laskey not interactive well time yeah well sir so everyone's the appearance of interactive graphic and so everyone's ripping number but Russia looks look for the first 30 seconds or so he's moving around the lights moving around beside him hello spoilers after that okay I won't go back what else it goes up around monsters 10 to Russia's 10 billion that's not quite that but it's a whole order of magnitude better and I I agree with you two and those two I also really liked Lithuania strap and Oh a few weeks ago we went through all 43 entrance for the entire competition we rated them with our score of 1 to 100 and then I graphed it that's good many of them do you think it's obvious that we filmed these out of order and this is the really dark one that we filmed at the end of the day kind of the whole sunset thing yeah it's very large light and goes dark it's both that's unless we can convince people that this is actually saw sunrise sunrise yes so we actually came out really early to record as long as we don't mention in the next video that it was lighter in this video I don't think they'll notice yep
