käärijä and Joost actually met in antwerp for the first time, fun fact after käärijä's concert in antwerp Joost let käärijä hear europapa. this was back in oktober 2023
Joost made a disstrack for the bookmakers before Eurovision, in the lyrics were lines like "I do it for my country and for my brother Käärijä ..." Maybe I can find a link ... _Edit:_ _(I found one, but it was difficult to put in here and the answer with the link now is only visible if you open this comment with its answers in the "newest comments" tab ..._ 🙄 _)_
@@sir_niksu When did he say that? Before or after the disqualification of Joost? Could that possibly have changed his mind? It's clear that he would definitely support Joost, in whatever way he could.
Great reaction! I love this. I’m Finnish myself living in The Netherlands and I love this type of hard dance music. What a day to be alive and witness these worlds colliding together❤🎉
Did anyone notice the 2025 writing in the Trafik video,also Kaarija and Joosts names in this split second. A Joost and Kaarija Eurovision collaboration? The video very much seems like its 'to be continued".....notice the end..
Yes! I think if these two were to do a collab at Eurovision, it would cause quite a stir! And they know it, they might just be testing that out now ... I wouldn't even be surprised if they now built a story together that leads to an ESC song. Just according to the motto, let's make several songs as a series, each with a cliffhanger - and the series finale would then be shown at Eurovision. That would not only be a sensational collab, but also an unprecedented ESC concept!
I'm not sure if I really believe that is something they would do, but I sure hope it was! It would be the ultimate Eurovision entry ever 🤩 They would be wiping floors with everyone else! But then again, of they were to do that and still not end up winning, I'm not sure if I can take one more of those hits 😅
Watching from Finland! 🥳 I think this is THE most iconic collab! The song is such a banger and their energy together is so unmatched! I'm loving every second! 🤩
These two ... dream team 😆👍 And now we all have to figure out Finnish? You can't even approach this language through other languages 🤪 Their cars were in the colors of their Eurovision outfits 💚💙 Thanks for your Trafik reactions ... you're faster than the police 😁
There are about 6 RU-vid Shorts from YleX: Katri Norrlin with an interview with Käärijä and Joost where they describe each other and why they're friends etc. I loved watching these. Here's one of them: ru-vid.comFlj2glokVms?si=bh_fIQlPCuV3vIOF ... watching from Germany
You are quick! This video is only out a little over two hours. Great reaction again. And you are right, they make crazy duo Greetings from Amsterdam Added later: BTW I think that the reason that Joosts car is blue is because of his euro suite. Joost is 💙and Käärijä 💚
Welcome America 👋😃 Funny, this channel is developing its own momentum. Approx. 87% Dutch and the rest from all over the world almost excluding the DACH-Benelux? 😆 Greetings from Germany 😄
I think with Trafik it's not possible because if I'm not wrong, a "new" song has to be sent in for the ESC. Sooo ... a follow-up song would be quite conceivable ... let's hope for the cliffhanger to give us a sequel 😊
So ... besides all the other things, he also wanted to do his ESC participation for Käärijä, to honor him and do him justice. So since that wasn't possible, I really wonder if they now want to do it together somehow. Not only that Joost knew Käärijä, was friends with him and showed him Europapa more than half a year before the ESC: He also made a disstrack for the bookmakers before the ESC. There he explained to them that he was not a joke and he listed the reasons why he would be taking part in the Eurovision Song Contest. One of the lines: *_" ... I do it for my brother Käärijä, this's the sequel ..."_* I _really_ wonder if they both think about another sequel now ...
When I heard the first snippets of "Trafik" I immediately had to think of the orchestral piece with *_old car horns_* from 1928: "An American in Paris" (George Gershwin) that became soundtrack to the same-named movie 1951. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8cLMTYYzs6s.htmlsi=pGJgb5xCWgTFC8-B I always have to think of what it would sound like if pedestrians tried to cross the traffic circle at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris 😆 The same feeling I had with "Trafik" right from the beginning 😬🫣😅 🚔🚑 😂
Paul, this is the englisch translation of the conversation between Käärijä and Joost.😅😅! Käärijä: Hey yo My seiko ticks Driver's fuming and the engine misfires Hey, yo, why's this line standing Oh damn boy, this annouys me This damn dumb fucking traffic. Always some motherfucking Lada Drives from behind the triangle to my side. Should take away their licence and plates. Again my nerves fly like sausages Joost: The police wants to catch me and drive me down Bur I'm smarter and clever Skidmarks darker then ever All my fucks in a bucket: bucket! = fuck it. No Driver's licence, I'm stubborn Car full of dinamyte Sometimes it seems nice to ve rich But that's just an appearance Boom boom with your parents baby boom No more meetings om zoom Cause my wheels go vroom
😂 1:17 Has anyone seen the latest Käärijä and Joost "mini-videos" on ... and ... ? (When I tell you were to look my comments vanish into thin air) Joost and Käärijä walking towards us quite purposefully and energetic, and in their midst this topless, muscle-bound "bodyguard", all of them looking very serious. The music? The classic, long-standing *_Eurovision opening anthem_* 🇪🇺 🎺🎺🎺🇪🇺 (Te Deum, M.A. Charpentier) 😎💪😎 Edit: It's on RU-vid now too: ru-vid.com5_PyfUQudl0?si=ybANgiJzYmsbCdy4
I'm watching from İstanbul Türkiye ( which has crazy traffic(...😢 There is also an awful heatwave...too hot and humid. So this new song "trafik" with their crazy expressions- I feel the frustration. I don't have a car, I always have to take public transport 😢 - and too often, every time almost get stuck in traffic. Which part is better in the song? 🤔 Käärijä perhaps is better , though I'm a fan of Joost! 💙 Of course Joost's part is cool too! Geweldig! I'm not Turkish but Hungarian but I wish I were from Northern Europe because I hate the heat in Türkiye ( and in Hungary too, I check weather forecast 37 C° degrees) 😔. Trafik 🤣 crazy song.. our frustration
Wow, I just wanted to ask where you're from, thanks 😊 It sounds like you don't understand Dutch or Finnish, but a lot of other interesting languages 😃 I'm quite central in Europe (Germany), the weather here is strange at the moment, either bad weather or very warm (but fortunately not as hot as in Turkey) I can't decide between Käärijä and Joost, I always find the respective moment the best. Maybe because they complement each other so well.
@@AP-hr3qm yes; they complement each other in the song so well. I'm from Hungary unfortunately. The other day I checked weather forecast it was 37 C° degrees there 😔 I'm not glad that I'm from a small hot country in Europe. I wish I were from Northern Europe. Hungarian language has no use. Outside of Hungary it isn't spoken. You can use German in Austria.
@@brigittelikeslanguages8916 Well, we have to rely on English here as well, German is spoken in few countries and in some neighbouring countries people know some German though and understand us quite well, especially the Dutch, but that's it. It's mandatory to learn English here.
@@AP-hr3qm However, English no longer gives any edge or advantage. 😔 I'm just as worthless as I had been in the past when I could only speak Hungarian.
Joost’s car is a Lada Niva. He and Käärijä are each wearing a nod to the other - Joost has a green pocket square and Käärijä has blue sunglasses. The first time I watched the video I also wondered if the ending was setting it up a second song. We can only hope!
Joost's green pocket square and Käärijä's blue sunglasses are hardly noticeable in this video ... if I hadn't seen other shorts, reels, stories etc. promoting the video, I probably wouldn't have noticed them. And maybe there's another nod to each other: Does Joost's car have a finnish license plate and Käärijä a Dutch or at least a yellow one? (And Käärijä's says someting with "666" or "I 666•I" ... ? With Joost's I'm not sure ... in the videos it seems to be "ZBZ•ZBZ" and on some other video snippets its "ZBZ•608" ... ?)
@@AP-hr3qm Joost’s car definitely has Finnish plates. Harder to tell With Käärijä. His plate would be European, but it doesn’t have the blue border on the left with a Dutch designation. So it could be custom or a licensing designation. (Plate color can determine what type of vehicle it is.) The green car has 666*1. I think what looks like a “1” at the front is actually 3 vertical letters, but I can’t bring it up right now. (4:43am and I have been looking for a while. This is better than sleeping.) Will continue to try to figure this out because I have an obsessive need to know useless information.
@@abralodge3082 😂👍 I only knew for sure that Dutch license plates are yellow, that's what got me curious 😄 Perhaps they had to make it clear that it wasn't an original license plate and therefore decided not to use the 🇪🇺 ? I couldn't see the inscriptions well in the video either, so I edited the comment when I could see it clear in other posts of theirs. So I think I really got the inscription right, but don't understand the meaning. Joost's plate has definitely changed: elsewhere the letters *and* the numbers were there (though they made an effort to always be in front of the number plate), here then it's ZBZ twice. Maybe it was an original license plate that was not supposed to be used originally? On the other hand, I think they think through every detail ... would they leave this to chance? But I think at least the colors of the license plates are a nod to each other. But for now, have a good night's sleep, I hope you get to sleep in 🤫 ✨️🌙
0:38 & 2:35 I just love the car refresher 🧅 🤣😝 1:41 The eye-catching colors (also in the clothing of the other people in the various cars) lead to their ESC performances 💙💚
Käärija 💚 Joost 💙 Trafik! [Verse 1: Joost & Käärijä] Oh, I'm in traffic, my car is supersonic Why you drivin' like a manic? It brings me lot of panic I got a bad habit, I'm a speeding addict My car is automatic, I don't want to crash it [Chorus: Käärijä] Ayo, tikittää mun Seiko Kuski jo savuaa ja kone leipoo Ayo, miks tää jono seisoo? Voi kettu, kuinka ketuttaa tää ketun kettumainen fakin [Post-Chorus: Käärijä & Joost] Trafik Trafik (Ahh) [Verse 2: Käärijä & Joost] Aina joku madafakin Lada painaa kolmion takaa mua kylkee risteykses Pitäis ottaa kortti ja kilvet veks Taas palaa hermot ja nakit (Woah) Politie wil me pakken en klemmen Maar ik ben smarter en clever Remsporen darker than ever Al m'n fucks in een emmer, bucket [Chorus: Käärijä] Ayo, tikittää mun Seiko Kuski jo savuaa ja kone leipoo Ayo, miks tää jono seisoo? Voi kettu, kuinka ketuttaa tää ketun kettumainen fakin [Post-Chorus: Käärijä & Joost] Trafik (Trafik) Trafik [Interlude] Who the fuck is Mr. Klein?

@@brigittelikeslanguages8916 I can understand an read Dutch quite well, but writing and talking 🫣 But Finnish ... not one single word. (I'm German) Oh well, right ... Google translate thinks you don't need a translation because it thinks you'll know what you're writing 😅 Should I take a screenshot and send it back? 😃
Okay, maybe I'm too stupid to get this ... the two of them arguing about both driving too fast and badly, while the whole thing here happened with more or less stationary cars doesn't surprise me too much, as you totally can play these crazy driving scenes with the engine off. But at 0:51, Käärijä comes from behind, hits Joost's car and comes to stand on his *_passenger side,_* doesn't he? And then suddenly he stands on his *_driver's side_* for the rest of the video *_?!_* 🤔 And it's not selfie mode or looking in the rear-view mirror, am I right?
