This morning, I decided to make an iTunes account and buy some Ylvis songs on a whim. Clearly there are so few buyers in Barbados that the top songs list was completely changed by my purchases. But both Bård and Vegard took note of it! I don’t know if I’m happier that they talked about Barbados on their social media or knowing that I’m the one who caused it.

music history: a summary

baroque: yay for harpsichords!!! counterpoint is awesome!!! let's all be happy and honor our lord and savior j s bach!!!

classical: more happiness!!! sonata form!!! alberti bass!!!! also there are 80000 more rules now lmao

romantic: i have so many emotions and so much angst im gonna take it out on pianists by writing feelsy etudes with impossible runs and also break pianos if im liszt

contemporary: FUCK KEY SIGNATURES FUCK COMMONLY ACCEPTED INSTRUMENTS FUCK EVERYTHING I'M GONNA WRITE WHATEVER I WANT INCLUDING JUST A FUCKING BLANK PAGE OF MUSIC AND CALL IT 4:33

or, alternately

baroque: OPERA IS INVENTED! Monteverdi! Handel! ALL THE CASTRATI... let's speak no more of the baroque.

classical: MOZART!!!!!!!1!!!

Bel Canto goes somewhere in the middle here, right?

romantic: All anyone knows about opera. Sad, dying women, jealous, murderous men. Also, a bunch of enormous German gods. Orchestras are obscenely large.

contemporary: Wait... people still write opera? ADAMS! HEGGIE! Shut up, no one cares. MORE PUCCINI!

Intervju med Ylvis (23.02.2016), norsk versjon (original)

Interview with Ylvis in original norsk, for everyone speaking norsk / interested in it :)

E: Sånn ja, først og fremst, jeg heter Esther… B&V: Ja . E: Og jeg har en Ylvisblogg der jeg oversetter avisartikler og videoer fra norsk til engelsk for dem som ikke snakker norsk. Og vi har også en YouTube-account, Ylvis HQ. B: Og ja, den har jeg hørt om. V: Bra, veldig flott. Når du oversetter fra norsk til engelsk, går du gjennom tysk da? E: Nei… V: Ikke i det hele tatt? E: Egentlig ikke. V: Det er jo fascinerende. Jeg snyes du har blitt veldig flink. E: Ah, tusen takk. V: Du snakker grammatisk veldig bra. E: Ja, jeg har øvd mye på grammatikk fordi jeg har jo tatt Bergentesten, da må man være veldig flink med grammatikk. Men jeg har ikke sjansen til å snakke så mye fordi det er ingen… B: Ingen å snakke med? E: Nei. Så jeg prøver å snakke litt med ham (Daniel), og han sier bare: Ja…ja…ja V: Men det som er morsomt er jo at du sa: Jeg snakker med ham, sant? E: Ja… V: Som er helt riktig. Mens 80% av Nordmenn hadde sagt feil på det. Men det er jo litt som lov-ish, men det er jo feil per definisjon. B: Og i vår dialekt så sier ikke vi ham. V: Nei, vi har ikke objektsformen av han. E: Men dere sier også ‘hon’ istedenfor ‘hun’. B: Ja, vi sier hon istedenfor hun. Og mange… du har liksom Østlandet, men utenfor er det jo helt…da blir det virkelig veldig spesielt. V: Hu… B: Ja hu E: Han (Daniel) var litt forvirret første gang han hørte ka kan eg gi deg. Det var sånn: Hæ, var er dette for noe, er det egentlig norsk? Ka kan eg gi deg? V: Ja, ka kan eg gi deg…Men synes du det er veldig vanskelig med dialekter? E: Mange er veldig lett å skjønne for meg fordi de ligner veldig mye på tysk. Nynorsk er veldig lik tysk. Men vi var.. i fjor var vi i Vestlandet, og da var det noen ganger bare… B: Men du har liksom tatt igjen Nordmann på grammatikk. V: Ja, det er sant. E: Ja, jeg ser jo mye på norsk TV og sånt. V: Så flink du er. B: Men har du et formål? Annet enn bare å kunne språket? E: Ja, jeg håper at vi kan flytte hit. V: Ja? E: Om sommeren…Ja, jeg er ferdig med bachelorstudiet mitt i Tyskland, og i august kunne jeg begynne med masterstudiet, hvis det alt fungerer. For en tysker er Norge jo veldig dyrt. B: For Nordmenn og. (smiler) E: Og han (Daniel) må finne jobb her, så…Vi får se om det fungerer…Håper det. Så det er egentlig formålet mitt. V: Ja, lykke til med det. Det er jo veldig fascinerende. E: Oh, takk…takk. E: Og hvordan var programmet egentlig for dere i dag? Var dere litt redd for bakken? V: Ja! B: Ja, det var helt sånn…rasjonell frykt. Det ser ikke så bratt ut, men det er veldig iset og hardt og de skiene er veldig små så…Og vi er ikke gode med ski… V: Det var litt sånn at vi snakket om på forhånd at det verste som kunne skje var at vi klarte alt, sant? Og så gikk hun ned først (Kjersti Buaas) og var veldig flink… B: Hun hadde tenkt å miste, hun… V: Ja? B: Ja hun tenkte hun kunne ta en sånn grab og bare drite i tacoen fordi det viktigste er jo at man gjør noe som ser kult ut… V: Hun klarte å grabbe og ha tacoen? B: Hun grabbet og fikk det… V: Det hadde jeg ikke tatt med meg… B: Så det var helt fett. Hun var veldig sjokkert da hun så hoppet sitt fordi hun hadde jo bare tenkt «Fuck det, jeg grabber bare…» V: Og så snakket vi om det samme, da vi liksom var klare og sto når vi presenterte oss, så gikk han ned og klarte det, og det er forferdelig vanskelig å fake at du skal ramle…Og det var jo bare sånn: Ja, ja, jeg må jo kjøre denne veien og jeg skjønnte at… det var jo 100% ekte, den crashingen min. Så den var greit den. E: Ja, noen fans var redde for at dere kommer til å skade dere. V: Ja, vi var redde for det også. B: Ser her! På prøven…jeg prøvde å hoppe. (Viser oss skaden sin). Kjenner den i morgen. Men, nei så lenge vi kommer oss gjennom sendingen er det greit, det er kjipt å knekke seg på generalprøven. De siste hoppene kjørte jeg ganske ryddig. V: Det er kjipt å knekke seg under sendingen óg. Kanskje du får en liten award… E: Kanskje det ja… Har dere hatt noen favoritt sending denne sesongen? B: Ja, jeg synes polakk-sendingen var kul, Ylvek. De er jo veldig sjarmerende. E: Var det alltid gøy å jobbe med dem, eller var det også vanskelig av og til? B & V: Nei… V: Det var egentlig bare gøy. B: Vi jobbet så mye med dem, og da møttes vi igjen, og det var alltid god stemning og sånn. Det var veldig hyggelig. E: Noe vi synes er veldig gøy er jo… alle fansene ønsker jo at dere bruker social media greier og sånt… V: Vi er veldig flinke med det… E: Ja, men i forrige uke var dere jo mye på periscope og sånt, så mange sa: Når gjør de det vi vil…Så liker dere å bruke social media…eller? B & V: Nei! E: Og kommunisere med fansene? B: Vi er veldig opptatt at man ikke skal vise for mye, eller åpne for mye, for det er jo egentlig ikke spennende… V: Det er jo inflasjon. Det er det samme når du trykker opp mye penger for å få mer penger, så blir det jo mindre verdt… B: Mine barn vil jo ha godteri hele tiden, så hvis man gir dem det blir det ikke noe godt av…Så vi er veldig gammeldagse med det. Men det er jo ikke så spennende å vite hva vi holder på med når man vet hva vi holder på med. E: Men dere sa det jo også om 24-hour-live-stream, at det kommer til å bli kjedelig, men de fleste syntes jo det var veldig spennende. V: Ja! B: Ja, det har vi jobbet ganske mye med, i forhold til ‘når skal vi inn, når skal vi ut’, hvor mye skal Magnus ta og alt det, så det var ikke en 24-hour-live-stream egentlig. Så hvis vi gjør det, så gjør vi det spennende, da betrakter vi det ikke som 24 timer tenning og legger det opp, så det er ikke real egentlig… V: Nei. E: Men det var noen som så på de hele 24 timene. B: Ja, det er helt spesielt. Jeg har ikke sett på 24 timer selv en gang… V: Ja du, ja. B: Men Magnus. Magnus er jo en champion på de sosiale mediene. Vi bare skyver Magnus foran. V: Han har sånn 70 ganger flere følgere enn vi har på alt. B: Nei, det har han ikke, men han er mye flinkere… V: Men med likes og sånt på bildene, han får jo 40 000 likes. E: Men kanskje hvis dere begynner å poste litt mer, får dere det óg? V: Ja, kanskje, men da må vi poste jo… B: Men Magnus, han er… han kan… V: Det er kjekt for Magnus, det. E: Vet dere at det er en livestream hvert tirsdag… V: Ja? E: Så det er mellom 300 og 700 som ser på i hele verden. V: Nei, dette visste jeg ikke. B: Ja, jeg så det. E: Det er jo egentlig ikke lov, men… pssst. B: Nei, men det er kult. V: Ja veldig. E: Ja for noen er det jo 7 om morgenen når det begynner… V: Ja, selvfølgelig E: Og det er andre fanser som oversetter hva som skjer… så veldig fint. B & V: Ja. E: Så mange lurte på at etter ‘The Fox’ kom det mange internasjonale fanser, har dere egentlig forventet at de kommer til å være fans fremdeles, 2,5 år senere? B: Nei…Egentlig ikke. Det er litt overraskende. Jeg tenkte også på det. At vi fremdeles har følgere i utlandet når vi bare gjør norsk material. Men det er jo hyggelig da. Litt overraskende fordi at der er jo mye som vi har gjort, og nå gjør vi også det engelske YouTube greien, men det er ikke så mange som ser på det heller. Det er omtrent 20 000, så det er ikke mye på YouTube, da er det jo ingenting. Men det er klart at 20 000 mennesker, det er jo mye, så det er… V: Det er bra sagt da… B: Ja. Det er jo sånn når det var 20 000 som ser på det utenfor Norge, så hadde vi bare tenkt: Jesus Christ. Så noen henger igjen. V: Men vi hadde jo ikke tenkt at vi noen gang kommer til å få noen internasjonale fans uansett. Det hendte jo før at det var noen som hadde hørt om ditt og datt og hadde sett noen videoer, men vi.. B: Vi blir jo alltid styrt av å lage ting som vi har lyst å lage. E: Ja, og det liker fansene… B: Vi spekulerer ikke på det… E: Men det fungerer jo, sant? B: Ja vi skal holde på så lenge det fungerer. E: Men det sa du også for 15 år siden… V: Ja! E: Og det fungerer jo fortsatt. B: Ja, det fungerer fortsatt, og vi er fremdeles forberedt på at det når som helst kan ta slutt… E: Nei…. -Alle ler…- B: Jeg er forberedt på det, men Vegard er ikke det. V: Jeg har ingen back-up-plan. E: Men du er jo pilot. V: Ja, jeg er pilot. B: Jeg har ingen back up plan. V: Veldig attraktivt: 40 år gammel, uerfaren flyger. E: Det er sikkert mange som ønsker å fly med Vegard airlines… V: Haha ja… B: Vegard airlines… klart. Kanskje. -Alle ler sammen.- E: Så over til noe annet. Skal dere ha flere konserter i år? Eller har dere lyst til å gjøre det? B: Ja, vi har lyst, det er mye lettere å svare på det. Vi har lyst, vi synes det er veldig gøy å spille konserter. V: Ja spesielt veldig mye under den TV sesongen som snart er over, det er litt sånn…. B: Vi har bestemt oss ikke å planlegge, for hvis vi hadde planlagt så måtte vi ha planlagt noe i… høst, og da hadde vi ikke helt visst hva… så nå vil vi egentlig bare blir ferdige med sesongen, tar fri litt, noen uker, og så tenker vi what to do. Så får vi se hva det blir. E: Hadde dere noen favorittkonsert? Under the expensive jacket tour, eller? V: Nei, vi er ikke så gode med favoritter… E: Jeg har mange favoritt-spørsmål…beklager. B: Jeg har to favoritter… V: Mandal var veldig gøy. B: Mandal var min andre plass. E: Vi var i Mandal. V: Ja, var dere i Mandal? E: Ja, men ikke i Spektrum. B: Nei. Men Spektrum var veldig gøy. Den er på første plass fordi det var så overraskende. Vi var ikke sikre på om det kommer til å fungere i det hele tatt. Men samtidig så tenkte jeg veldig mye i Spektrum… V: Stavanger óg, det var jo veldig… B: Stavanger óg var gøy, ja. V: Da vi kom ut, så var hele Stavanger fult. B: Og Mandal var veldig bra, da har jeg spillet golf hele dagen fra tidlig om dagen, det var skyt fint vær, lillebroren vår, Bjarte, som vi ikke hadde sett på lenge, han var med å spille golf, og det var bare ufattelig fint. Og så kom vi ut på soundcheck og det var gøy. Så det er mange ting som er viktige for oss…om maten er god, om folk er hyggelig, om alle er friske og sånn. V: Fin backstage. B: Og det som er viktig, vi har jo sånne propper inn i ørene, og av og til høres det forferdelig ut, og av og til høres det fantastisk ut. Og hvis det høres fantastisk ut, så går alle bare: Jo, det var fett. Så det kan liksom være 20 personer som står i publikum, og noen ganger står det 20 000 og da er det helt forferdelig. V: Det som er greien med å spille konserter, jeg tror det er DET gøyeste vi har gjort. B: Ja, og det er på en måte målet, eller hvis vi noen gang hadde drømt om noe så ville vi har drømt om det. V: JA! B: Det er jo på en måte det vi vil holde på med. Så det er vi glade for for å kunne sjekke av. E: Men dere er jo flinke i å kombinere TV og musikk og sånn. B: Ja, vi gjør det jo, og det funker på en viss måte. E: Ja mange kunne kanskje bare gjøre en ting, og dere kan gjøre så mange forskjellige ting. B: Vi må det jo… V: Jeg tror folk er bare litt redd for å gjøre andre ting, og vi liker jo å komme oss ut av komfortsonen og… B: Pluss at vi ikke egentlig er gode nok til å gjøre noen av tingene, så derfor gjør vi mange ting… E: Dere er alltid så beskjedne… B: Men det er jo sant. E: Nei…. V: Vi var ikke så flinke på ski i dag. E: Ja okay… det er sant. E: Så hvis dere kunne vitne en eller annen hendelse i verdenshistorien, hva ville dere velge? V: Og, det var gøy! E: Vanskelig spørsmål? V: Ja, men veldig fint. B: Jeg tror frihetsdagen i Norge. Eller hvilken som helst. Men den har man jo en tilknytning til, når jeg hører mine besteforeldre fortelle om det, så forstår jeg at det må ha vært fantastisk. Når man heiset flagget, i Norge, eller i hvert fall i Bergen, vår det en fin vårdag, og det hadde akkurat begynt å bli grønt og sånn, og det har liksom vært krig i fem år, og så er det liksom heising av flag og it’s over. V: Det var veldig bra valgt. B: Det tror jeg var ganske kick sånn. V: Jeg… jeg har allerde vært med på den kuleste…nei…jeg tror første gangen når Edison spilte inn lyd, og så rullet han trommelen, og så han fikk det tilbake igjen, det var første gangen noen har hørt noe komme ut av det… B: Det er ganske mange ting da, Jesus Christ, det er mange ting man har lyst til å… V: Da de oppfant strømmen… B: Woodstock… det er ganske mye… V: Drap på JFK. Bare for å ha vært der og ser det. Pig’s bay… veldig bra. E: Ja, mange ting… V: Første atombombe som de sprengte, det var sikkert ganske kult… E: I fem minutter kanskje… V: Haha, nei altså ikke den, men jeg tror det var ganske kult da de testet dem, men det skulle jo helst ikke skjedd. E: Nei…Så hvis dere kunne se en konsert til en som allerede er død… B: Som er død? E: Ja, hvem ville dere velge? V: Jeg har alltid hatt lyst til å gå på Michael Jackson konsert. B: Jeg rakk alrdi å se Pink Floyd live. Det synes jeg er veldig synd. For nå har han dødd, hva heter han? V: Keyboardisten? B: Keyboardisten Nick? Nei… V: Keyboardisten sant? B: Ja, keyboardisten. Da var det på en måte too late. V: På en måte… E: Bare på en måte… B: Ja, så det er synd, men samtidig så var det Roger Waters med «the wall», men det var ikke det samme for min del. V: Det kommer litt an på hvilken type musikk det er da. Fordi for eksempel å reise og høre på en sånn filharmonisk orkester, det hadde sikkert vært møkka fett, og det er skikkelig kul fordi det høres helt likt ut på platen. Og så kan det være en rockeband som bare lager god stemning og er litt trashy og sånt, det er sikkert kul og sånt, men det er liksom ting du har hørt på HiFi, og så kommer det: Det kan jo aldri bli bra. E: Jeg har ikke sånn god flow her fordi jeg har veldig mange forskjellige spørsmål… B: Ja, det er jo helt fint, vi er aldri i flow fra vår side heller, så… V: Nei. E: Så hvis dere kunne bare spise ett måltid for resten av livet… B: Avocado… avocado er fett. E: Og guacamole? B: Ja, guacamole. Eller kokos. V: Det er så mange måter å nærmre det seg på. Skal man velge det beste man vet, eller skal man være smart? Avocado er ikke så godt som en burger for eksempel. B: Den er veldig bra. V: Jo, den er veldig bra. B: Avocado er den beste ting å velge, nest etter kokos. Kokos har jo vann. Det er det eneste som gjør kokosen bedre. V: Men jeg tror du ville få liksom tæring av bare å spise… B: Du ville få tæring av alt. V: Tæring er navnet på et skydom, et gammelt ord, hva heter den? B: Vet ikke…? Men vi vet jo hva du mener. E: Klart det. Har dere egentlig noen uvaner? V: Ja, jeg biter negler. B: Uvaner… nei… Jeg har en lyd i halsen min, en sånn (Chhhhuuuk) V: Ja, (imiterer den) B: Men det vet jeg om da. Og nå har min datter begynt med det, så jeg lurer på om det er noe fysiologisk som gjør at noe er galt. V: Jeg spiser alt som kommer foran meg. Absolutt alt. E: Absolutt alt? V: Ja, ikke hvis det smaker drit eller sånt. E: Selvfølgelig… V: Hvis det står snop eller godteri foran meg, så spiser jeg det selv om jeg ikke har lyst på det. B: Det er en generell uvane alle har… V: Nei, det er jo ikke sant. B: Nei, kanskje ikke. V: Men jeg kan spise en hel skål med noe, og etterpå er det: Hæ? Det er jo bare drit. E: Haha, det kjenner jeg også ja. Har dere noen favoritt ord. Norske ord? B: Jeg liker veldig godt derav, hence på engelsk. V: Men det kan være veldig irriterende. B: Nei, det kan man aldri bruke. V: Det er litt sånn…Salpeter liker jeg veldig godt. E: Godt å vite i hvert fall. Hvis dere kunne velge et annet navn for dere selv, hva ville dere ønske å hete? V: Gruppen eller personen? E & B: Personen. V: Det hadde vært digg med navn som… B: Som James… V: Ja, noe som går an på norsk og engelsk. For eksempel…. Bernhard. Men jeg vil ikke hete Bernhard… B: Men burde vi ikke også velge etternavnet? E: Kanskje, hvis dere vil. V: Så kanskje John Johnson… E: Så veldig enkelt? B & V: Ja veldig enkelt. V: Mark Spencer. B: Jeg tenkte sånn.. hva var det… Jim Morris? Er han ikke… E: Er han en sanger? B: Ja, det er en sanger. V: Eller var det James Morrison? B: Men hvis du skulle hete noe… er det Jim Morrison. V: Men du skulle ikke hete sånn, det blir bare helt forvirrende. B: Men hvis du heter Jim Morrison.. jeg tror jeg ville hete Jim. E: Vil dere ha noe mer å drikke? Vi har vann… V: Nei takk. Veldig hyggelig. B: Men vil du ha noe å drikke? Vi har jo brus. E: Nei takk, det går fint. Jeg lurer på hva dere bruker mest penger på i fritiden…for dere selv. V: Hookers and coke. B: Mat. E: Mat? B: Ja, jeg kjøper ingenting lenger…men… V: Jeg tror der er mat og snarveier til en god matbit… B: Ja tid, jeg kjøper tid. Det er det jeg bruker penger på. Nå tar vi en taxi, nå går vi til restaurant… V: Order inn…og det er dyrt i Norge. -Noen kommer inn for å snakke litt med dem.- E: Hvem ville dere helst stått fast i heisen med. Fra Ylvis, Magnus, Calle, Bård eller Vegard? V: Oh sånn ja… B: Calle… V: Calle tror jeg. E: Alle velger Calle… V: Jeg synes det er veldig…det er veldig… B: Ja, han får angst da, har får panikk. E: Og, sånn klaustrofobi? B: Ja. -Noen kommer inn igjen…- B: Sånn ja. Jeg tror rasjonelt er det best å velge Vegard på en måte. Det er kjedelig, hvis man sitter fast der i lenge, hvis man setter fast hele livet, da ville jeg ta Vegard. E: Fordi han har mye kunnskap og sånn? B: Jeg jeg tror han ville tenkt rasjonelt og finne måter å gjøre ting om til beger, så man kan spise, og funnet mat… V: Det er jeg suverén blant de tre. B: Ja. V: Men det sosiale…det ligger jo langt etter…. E: Ja, veldig mange spør jo: Hvordan er det å jobbe… B: Med broren din? E: Ja, helt riktig. Er det irriterende at alle spør det samme? B: Det er jo helt naturlig at folk lurer på det. E: Men er det egentlig sant, når dere sier at dere bare jobber med hverandre, og ikke gjør noe annet? B: At vi ikke gjør noe på fritiden? E: Ja… B: Men vi har jo ikke fritid… E: Bare jobb? V: (ler) B: Jeg gjør ikke noe med noen annen heller, jeg har ho ingen venner. V: Det eneste er at vi har barn som er venner… E: Men det er jo flott. V: Ja, så det er jo veldig kjekt. Jeg synes det er kjekt at de har hverandre. Fordi vi hadde veldig lite kontakt med våre kusiner og vetter da vi var små. Så jeg synes at det er veldig kjekt at de har hverandre. B: Og så er jo våre koner gode venner. E: Så flott! V: Så det hadde vært litt kijpt når vi ble skikkelige uvenner. B: Så det hender jo vi møtes… E: Det hender ja… V: Og så kan vi jo låne ting fra hverandre. E: Veldig praktisk. V: Jeg har fortsatt en sirkelsag som er din. Kan det stemme? B: Den Davis 070? V: Bosch. B: Og den ja. V: Jeg tror den ligger nede hos meg. B: Og jeg har en annen sag, vet ikke om den er din eller pappaen sin. V: Nei, den er ikke pappaen sin. -Magnus kommer inn og venter på heisen.- Alle: Hi M: Hi, hva gjør dere? B: Sånn en media…intervju. M: Mediaintervju? B: Ja, cause we’re celebrities. 24/7. Hva skal du gjøre med den? M: Må jeg presse her? B: Nei, bare vent. Hils på Amanda så mye fra meg. V: Det er litt flaut å bli stående… og nå kommer den. B & M: Ja, nå kommer den. -Magnus går ut igjen- E: Låner dere også klær fra hverandre? B & V: Nei. E: Det er noen som lurer på det hvis de ser bilder, og da tenker de: Har ikke Vegard ha hatt denne på seg før eller noe? B: Ja, det kan hende på opptak at det hender, så shit, jeg har lånt Vegard sin blå jakke under noen opptak…hva var det for noe?… Det var musikkvideoen til Gabriel. V: Ja, stemmer det. B: I musikkvideoen til Gabriel har jeg en blå jakke fordi at vi glemmer alltid kostymer, så vi kommer på opptak, og så er det: Ahh, føkk, vi kan ikke ta den buksen, og så blir det… V: (roper) Magnus, nå er heisen her. B: Men vi låner jo aldri privat, nei. V: Nå må du skjerpe deg, du skal til heisen. B: Vi låner klær fordi vi bare har glemt å ta med noe… B: (Til Magnus) Kom vel hjem, godt jobbet i dag. V: Det var veldig godt jobbet. B: Forsiktig i heisen. M: Ja, ha det. E & B & V: Ha det! E: Så neste spørsmål, har dere noen favoritt årstid? B & V: Vår! E: Så mye spørsmål som handler om favoritt ting. B: Det er jo fint. Og de er veldig lette å svare på. V: Nei, det er de ikke. B: Jo. Jeg har svart veldig presist. V: Okay. Hva er ditt favoritt menneske? B: Meg. E: Veldig rasjonelt. V: Haha nei, det kan du ikke si…

-latter-

E: Så kan dere beskrive hverandre med bare fem ord? B: Hverandre? E: Ja. V: Fem beskrivende ord, eller en setning på fem ord? E: Fem beskrivende ord… B: Det er jo ikke nyttig med Vegard, så er det jo nerd…og snill…lite empatisk… E: Hahaha… V: Hahaha, nei. Ikke egentlig! B: Jo, du har jo manglende evne til å sette deg inn i andre sine følelser, og det er jo det empati er. Det betyr ikke at du ikke er snill, men du har det alltid litt vanskelig for å… V: Ja, kanskje. B: Du har vanskeligheter med å sette deg inn i Helene sine tanker. Så du føler under gjennomsnitt. V: Det er helt sikkert. B: Rasjonell…og kanskje…ja litt gjerrig. V: Ja, det ville jeg tro. B: Men bare i forhold til meg fordi jeg er en idiot med penger. Og kjedelig óg, men nå har jeg sagt 6. V: Men kjedelig begynner å bli mer or mer passende til Bård… B: Hahaha ja, gammel! E: Gammel? (ler) B: Ja, og kjedelig, det var ikke meg som skulle si det. V: Ja ord…hvordan kan man uttrykke det når man oppfører seg som om man er tjue år eldre? Gammelmodig? E: (Ler) B: For ung for sin tid? V: Nei…han er…. ehm….mhmmm……ehhhhh…. B: Spennende å bli beskrevet. Alltid litt skuffende. V: Han er….det er vanskelig å lage ordene, det må finnes et ord som beskriver… B: Tøff kanskje? E: Eller kul? B: Ja! V: Nei… ryddig… sånn klarsyntaktig, han ser… B: Aha? V: Han har overblikk. -Direktøren kommer inn og snakker litt med dem.- V: Han er… E: Vi kan også ta et annet spørsmål. V: Nei…eh. Okay, skyt. E: Hvordan ville favoritt ferien deres ser ut? V: Favoritt-ferien? E: Ja. B: Fire uker på et øde sted, ingen mennesker, bare sol. E: Bare deg? B: Nei, meg og familien min. V: Og bading. B: Bading. Og en strand der alle finner sine ting å holde på med. Og så er det en golfban rett ved siden av der, treningstudio, og restaurant med sykt god, billig mat. Og fire uker på samme stedet, ikke lov å bevege seg. E: Ikke i det hele tatt, eller…? V: Nei, med masse aktiviteter. B: Ja, masse aktiviteter. V: Alt mulig. B: Du kan seile, du kan dykke, du kan spille tennis, du kan spille golf… V: Og så er det på den øya, at der er varmt på stranden, men hvis du beveger deg… B: Luften! V: Litt lenger inn, så er det lunken. B: Og luften er veldig… V: Tørr. B: Ja, luften er veldig fin og… klart vann. V: Det er jo vilkarenes øy som er veldig fint…Og du kan gå på tur og… bare kose deg. E: Så, mange lurte også på om du liker å spille golf for real, eller om det var noe for TV eller sånt…? V: Han er veldig flaut for at han spiller golf. E: Ja? Hvorfor det? V: Fordi det er litt snobbete, og det skjønner jeg jo. B: Ja, snobbete. V: Det er jo egentlig ikke snobbete lenger, men noe som har et snobbete renommé, og det er…. B: Ja, jeg hadde hatt lyst å spille golf i hele livet. Ikke i hele livet, men jeg kjøpte min første golfkølle etter at vi satt første forestilling i Oslo…i 2003 kanskje? Nei, men da kjøpte jeg den og da tenkte jeg: Jesus Christ. Du skal ha barn, du kan ikke spille med små barn. Fordi når jeg begynner med ting, da går jeg all in. Så jeg bare ventet og ventet og ventet. Og huset mitt i Bergen var rett ved siden av en golfbane. Så jeg kom forbi en golfbane hver dag, og da var det litt sånn…Og når jeg begynte da var det bare helt topp. Og nå har jeg litt mer tid, for barna mine er litt eldre. Jeg har ikke tid, men det er…Jeg var litt smartere, Vegard begynte senere med barn. Når Daniel blir seks, så kommer du bare til å fly hele tiden. Hvor mye hadde du lyst til å fly? V: Hver dag. Og jeg gjorde det jo før. E: Jeg har oversatt et intervju fra den tiden, 2001 eller 2002, og hun radioprogramlederen spurte dere: Hva er livsglede for dere? Jeg har lyst til å spørre det samme og se… B: Om det er det samme? V: For det vet ikke jo vi. Så det er smart. B: Livsglede? Livsglede er å bli lykkeligere. Så forandringen fra tungt depression til bedringen. Bedringen er jo livsglede. Synes jeg. V: Jeg er jo helt enig. Den positive trenden, eller revert som det heter på mattespråket. Som reverten av lykken den er… B: Lykke. V: Lykkelighet. E: Vil dere vite hva dere svarte? B & V: Ja. E: Så du Bård sa Big Brother. B: Haha, men da var jeg jo i begynnelsen av min komikarriere, og skulle være komikk hele tiden. E: Ja, sant. Og du Vegard sa først flysimulator… V: Hehe, ja! E:… og etterpå at det er det at man kan gjøre det man har lyst til å gjøre, og drive med det som er gøy. B: Men det var bare et spøk fra meg… E: Ja, selvfølgelig. B: Jeg var jo veldig inne, så for eksempel for et år siden så jeg på Paradise Hotel hele tiden, og elsket det, og så var den en periode jeg så på Geordie shore.. og elsket det. Og det var lykken. V: Så når man er veldig inn i noe. Når jeg holder på å se en serie, sant? E: Ja… V: Og det er en serie der du må se en episode, og så må du se en til, og en til, sånn…. E: Har du en serie du liker til å se på så mye? V: Ja, det har jeg, det er en svensk serie, hva heter den? E: Svensk? V: Ja, den er svensk, men husker ikke navnet. Men poenget er at hvis du liker den og sitter deg ned, og alt er ryddet opp, og ungene har gått til sengs, så ser du vignetten og menneskene som du har utviklet liksom et forhold til, så føler du velbehag inne i deg. Det er rart med det. E: Ja, helt sant. -Bårds mobil ringer.- B: Okay. Ja, beklager. Kona og sånt. E: Ikke noe problem. Har dere lyst til å skrive noe på disse kortene her? Disse kunne ikke komme. B: Absolutt. E: Hadde vi ikke to (penn)? D: Nei. V: Du sier jo ikkje… E: Ja. Kanskje det er litt sånn en uvane…? V: Nei, det er fint. Fortsett med det. -Guttene skriver noe på kortene mine- V: Jeg var ganske kjap her fordi…. hva heter god bedring på engelsk? B: Get well soon…(Til Vegard) Biiiiitch. V: Hahah ja. Takk for at du la stor plass for meg her… E: Ja, takk. Og jeg har noen gaver, og da er vi ferdige. V: Oi oi oi. E: Noe helt rart. V: Er det det? E: Ja vi måtte kjøpe ekstra bagasje på flyet for å få dem til Norge. V: Nei, nå må du gi deg, det er jo kult. E: Ja, jeg trodde at det kommer til å bli små ting, men da var det bare…her…(gir dem bobleplastantrekk) B& V: Nei, er det sant? B: Det er veeeldig gøy. Hvem er dette fra? Er det fra deg? E: Det er fra meg. B: Det er jo veldig kult. E: Ja, jeg så dem og trodde, god idé. V: Ja, veldig god idé. Protection. E: Ja, eller bare for å irritere folk. B: Smeller det? E: Håper det, ja. V: Men du vil ikke smelle for mye. B: Vi kan gå inn på biblioteket. Veldig fint. Tusen takk. Det får du en ordentlig klem for, men først skal vi… (rekker meg hånden) V: Nei…vi skal klemme skikkelig etterpå. E: Og det er noe dere så under et intervju i 2001 ( jeg viser dem booklet med bilder, 15 år med Ylvis). Det syntes jeg var morsomt. Husker dere? V: Ja. E: Ja? (ler) B: Nei, det husker vi ikke… -Guttene ser på bildene- B: Oh my god… se på fjeset… V: De har blitt eldre… E: Bare litt…kan ikke se forskjellen… V: (Ler og fniser). Hvor finner man alle disse bildene? E: Google…? V: Takk skal du ha. B: Jeg husker liksom alle disse fotosessioner… V: Ja…. den husker du ikke. Da var jeg jo aleine….se Johnny! E: Og det er mye plass for 15 år til… B: Så vi skal fylle den selv? E: Ja… B: Da må jeg bare gå inn på: Mein CEWE Fotobuch. E: Ja. V: Kan vi beholde den? E: Selvfølgelig. V: Den er jo helt super. E: Tussen takk. Kan vi ta et bilde? V: Selvfølgelig. B: Gjerne det.

Interview with Ylvis (23.02.2016) after IKMY

So I had an interview with Ylvis after their show on 23rd of February 2016. I was there with my boyfriend Daniel. The interview was in Norwegian, and here you can read the English translation. Hope you like it. I definitely had a lot of fun, it was really amazing to talk to them. Bård and Vegard are brilliant persons :)

E: So, firstly my name is Esther. B & V: Yes. E: And I have an Ylvis-blog, where I translate newspaper articles and videos from Norwegian to English for those who don’t speak Norwegian. And we also have a YouTube-account, Ylvis HQ. B: Oh, I heard about that one before. V: Good, very nice. When you translate from Norwegian to English, do you go through German then? E: No… V: Not at all? E: Not really, actually. V: That is fascinating. I think you have become very good. E: Aww, thank you. V: You talk very well, grammatically. E: I practiced a lot of grammar because I took the Bergentest, and you need to be very good with grammar for that. But I don’t have the chance to talk so much because there’s no one… B: To talk to? E: No. So I try to talk a bit with him (Daniel), but he just says: Yes…yes…yes. V: But you know what’s funny is that you said: I talk with him (ham), right? E: Yes… V: Which is totally correct. While 80% of Norwegians would have been wrong on this one. It’s kind of allowed, but it’s wrong per definition. B: And in our dialect we don’t say «ham». V: No, we don’t have the object-form of “han”. E: But you also say “hon” instead of “hun”; right? B: Yes, we say “hon” instead of “hun”: And there are many…you kind of have Østlandet, but outside of that it gets…it gets very special. V: «Hu…» B: Yes, «hu» E: He (Daniel) was somewhat confused the first time he listened to “ka kan eg gi deg”. He was like: Huh, what is that? Is that even Norwegian? Ka kan eg gi deg? V: Yes, «ka kan eg gi deg»… But do you think that it’s difficult with all the dialects? E: Many are very easy to understand for me because they are very much like German. Nynorsk is very similar to German. But we were…last year we were in Vestlandet, and there it was sometimes just… B: But you have adopted the Norwegian in your way of talking. V: Yes, that’s true. E: Yes, I watch a lot of Norwegian TV and so on. V: You’re so good at that. B: But do you have a goal? Any other than knowing the language? E: Yes, I hope we can move here. V: Yes? E: In summer. I just finished my bachelor studies in Germany, and in August I could start my master’s, if it all works out. For a German it’s very expensive to live in Norway. B: Also for Norwegians (smiles) E: And he (Daniel) has to find a job here. So I have to see if it all works out. I hope so. So that’s my goal. V: Good luck with that. That’s really fascinating. E: Awww…thank you. Thank you. And how was the show for you today actually? Were you afraid of the ramp? V: Yes! B: Yes, it was a very rational fear. It doesn’t look that steep, but it’s very icy and hard, and the skies are very small…. We are not good on skies. V: We talked about it before, that the worst thing that could happen was that we managed everything correctly, right? And so she (Kjersti Buaas) who went down first, was very good at it… B: She had considered losing… V: Yes did she? B: Yes, she thought that she could take a grab and just don’t give a shit about the tacos since the most important thing is to do something that looks cool. V: She managed to make a grab and have the taco? B: Yes, she grabbed and managed it. V: I didn’t notice that. B: It was really awesome. She was very shocked when she looked at her jump because she had just thought: Fuck it, I will just grab… V: And we talked about the same thing, when we were ready and were presenting ourselves, then she went down and managed it, and it is awfully difficult to fake that you are plunging into something…And it was just like that: Yes, I have to drive this way…and then I understood that…Yes, it was 100 % real, my crash. So it was fine. E: Yes, some fans were afraid that you might hurt yourselves. V: Yes, we were afraid of that as well. B: Look at this! I tried to jump (Shows us his injury on his hip). I will feel that tomorrow. But, as long as we manage to get through the show it’s fine. It’s bad to hurt yourself to break something during the dress rehearsal. The last jumps I did were pretty good. V: It’s also bad to break something during the show. Maybe you’ll get a small award… E: Maybe… Yes, did you have a favourite show this season? B: Yes, I think the program with the Poles was cool, Ylvek. They are very charming. E: Was it always fun to work with them, or was it also difficult from time to time? B & V: No… V: It was actually only fun. B: We worked so much with them, and then we met again, and it was always a good mood and so on. It was just nice. E: Something we think is very nice… all the fans wish for you to use social media things and so on… V: We are really good with that! E: Yes, but last week, you were a lot on periscope and so on, and many said: Now they finally do what we wish for…So, do you like to use social media…or? B & V: No! E: And communicate with the fans… B: We are very occupied with not showing too much, or open up too much, because it’s actually not exciting. V: It’s an inflation. It’s the same when you print much money to get more money, so it becomes worth less. B: My children want to have sweets all the time, if you give it to them it doesn’t do any good. So, we are very old-fashioned about that. But it’s not exciting to know what we are doing when you know what we are doing. E: But you also said that about the 24 hour live stream, that it would be boring, but most people thought it was very exciting. V: Yes! B: Yes, but we worked a lot with that, considering when we should go in, when we should go out, how much Magnus should take over. So it wasn’t a 24 hour live stream technically. So if we do something like that, we make it exciting, we don’t view it as 24 hours of firing, so it’s technically not real… V: No. E: But there were people who followed the whole 24 hours. B: Yes, that’s very special. I haven’t even watched 24 hours myself. Y: Yes, you haven’t… B: But Magnus…he is the champion of social media. We just push Magnus forward. V: He has like 70 times more followers on everything. B: No, he doesn’t, but he’s way better in using it. V: But about likes and so on, on pictures, he gets 40 000 likes. E: But maybe you would also get those if you posted more? V: Yes maybe, but then we’d had to post… B: But Magnus…he is…he can V: It’s good for Magnus. E: So do you know that there is a live stream each Tuesday… V: Yes? E: So, there are between 300 and 700 people who watch the show all over the world. V: No, I didn’t know that. B: Yes, I saw that before. E: It’s technically not allowed, but…ppssst. B: No, but it’s cool. V: Yes, very. E: So for some, it’s 7 in the morning or something like that. V: Yes sure. E: And there are others who translate what is happening…so very nice. B & V: Yes. E: So many wondered about that after the Fox, you got many international fans. Did you expect that they would still be fans, 2.5 years later? B: No actually not. It’s a bit surprising. I also wondered about it. That we still have followers abroad when we only make Norwegian material. But it’s of course very nice. A bit surprising because there is so much we have done, and now we do the English thing for YouTube, but it’s not like many are watching that either. It’s like 20 000, and that’s not much for YouTube, it’s nothing. But it’s for sure that 20 000 are many, so it’s… V: That’s well said. B: Yes. It’s like that, if there were 20 000 people outside of Norway who watch it, we would think: Jesus Christ. So some are still on board. V: But we had never thought that we would get international fans some time at all. It happened before that someone had seen a video, or heard about that and this, but we… B: We are always steered by making things we like to make. E: Oh yes, and the fans like that. B: We are not speculating on that. E: But it’s working, right? B: Yes, we will do it as long as it works. E: But you said the same thing 15 years ago. V: Yes! E: And now it’s still working… B: Yes, it still works, and we are still prepared for that it could stop working anytime. E: No…. -Everyone laughs- B: I am prepared, but Vegard isn’t. V: I don’t have any back-up-plan. E: But you are a pilot. V: Yes, I am a pilot. B: I don’t have any back-up-plan. V: Very attractive: 40 year old, unexperienced pilot. E: There are certainly many people who wish to fly with Vegard airlines… V: Hahaha yes… B: Vegard airlines….sure. Maybe. -Everyone laughs- E: So, continuing with something different: Will you have more concerts this year? Or would you like to? B: Yes, we would like to do it, that one is easier to answer. We want to do it, we think it’s a lot of fun to play concerts. V: Yes, especially now during the TV season that is over soon it’s a bit… B: We have decided not to plan, because if we would have planned we would have needed to do it in…autumn. And back then we didn’t really know what… so now we just want to finish the season, take some time off, a few weeks, and then we will think about what to do. So we will see what it’s going to be. E: Did you have a favourite concert during «The expensive jacket tour»? V: No, we are not that good with naming favourites… E: I have many “favourite-questions”, I’m sorry. B: But I have to favourites… V: Mandal was very nice. B: Mandal was my second place. E: We were in Mandal. V: Yes, you were in Mandal? E: Yes, but not in Spektrum unfortunately. B: No? Spektrum was a lot of fun. It’s my first place because it was so surprising. We were not sure if it would work out at all. But at the same time I was thinking a lot during Spektrum… V: Stavanger as well, that was very… B: Stavanger was fun as well, yes. V: When we came out, the whole of Stavanger was full of people. B: And Mandal was very good, I have played golf all day from early on, the weather was very good, our little brother, Bjarte, whom we hadn’t seen in a long time, he was with me, playing golf, and it was just incredibly nice. And when we arrived at the sound check it was nice. So, there are many things that are important for us…if the food is good, if people are nice, if everyone’s healthy and so on. V: Nice backstage. B: And what is very important, we have these buttons in our ears, and sometimes they sound totally awful, and sometimes they sound totally fantastic. And if the sound fantastic, everyone is like: Yes, that was awesome. So there can be 20 persons in the audience, and sometimes there are 20 000 and it is totally awful. V: The thing about playing concerts is that I think it’s THE most fun thing we have done. B: Yes, and it’s the goal in a way, or if we would have dreamt about something once, we would have dreamt about that. V: YES! B: It’s in a way what we want to do. So we are happy we are able to check that. E: But you are very good in combining TV and music and so on. B: Yes, we do that, and in works in a certain way. E: But many would maybe only be able to do one thing, and you can do so many different things. B: We just have to… V: I think people are just afraid of doing different things, and we like to come out of our comfort-zone as well. B: Plus, that we actually aren’t good enough to do one of the things, so that’s why we do many things. E: You are always so humble… B: But it’s true. E: No… V: We were not good on skies today. E: Yes, okay… So, if you could witness any event in world’s history, what would you choose? V: Oh, that is fun! E: Difficult question? V: Yes, but very nice. B: I think Independence Day in Norway. Or any other. But this one you have a connection to, when I hear my grandparents tell about it, I understand that it must have been fantastic. When they hoisted the flag, in Norway, or at least in Bergen it was a nice spring day, and nature had just begun to become green and so on, and there has been war for five years, and then it like with the hoisting of the flag, it’s over. V: That’s a very good choice. B: I think it was really kick-ass. V: I have already experienced the coolest…no… I think the first time when Edison played in sound, and then he rolled the drum, and received something back, that was the first time someone heard a sound come out of it… B: There are pretty many things, Jesus Christ, there are many things you would like to see. V: When they invented electricity… B: Woodstock… many things… V: JFK’s murder. Just to have been there and to see it. Pig’s bay…very nice. E: Yes, many things… V: The first nuclear bomb they blew up…that was probably pretty cool… E: For 5 minutes maybe? V: Hahaha no, so not this one. But I think it was cool to test them, but of course it should rather not have happened.

E: No…so if you could see a concert of a person who’s already dead… B: Who’s dead? E: Yes. Whom would you choose? V: I always wanted to go to a Michael Jackson concert. B: I never managed to see Pink Floyd live. I think that’s a real pity. Because now he died, what’s his name? V: The keyboarder? B: The keyboarder Nick…no. V: The keyboarder, right? B: Yes, the keyboarder. It was too late, in a way. V: In a way… E: Only in a way… B: Yes, it’s a pity, but at the same time there is Roger Waters with “The Wall”, but that wasn’t the same for me. V: No. V: It depends on which kind of music it is. Because for example to travel to hear a philharmonic orchestra, that would probably be very awesome, and really cool because it sounds just like it does on CD. And then it could be a rock band who create a good atmosphere and are a bit trashy, that’s probably also cool, but things you have heard in hi-fi before, and then you hear it live: That can never be good. E: I don’t really have a flow with my questions, because I have so many different ones. B: Yes, that’s totally fine, we are never in a flow from our side either, so… V: No. E: So, if you could only eat one food for the rest of your lives… B: Avocado. Avocado is great. E: And guacamole? B: Yes, guacamole. Or coco. V: There are so many ways you can approach this question with. Should you choose the best, or should you be smart? Avocado is not as good as a burger for example. B: It’s very good. V: Yes, it is very good. B: Avocado is the best thing to choose, right after coco. Coco has water. That’s the only thing that makes coco better. V: But I think you will get sick of only eating… B: You will get sick of everything. E: Definitely. Do you actually have some bad habits? V: I bite nails. B: Bad habits…no… I have such a sound in my throat, such a (imitates the sound) V: Yes (imitates it as well) B: But I know about it. And now my daughter started doing the same thing, so I wonder if it’s something physiological that causes something to be wrong. V: I can eat everything that comes in front of me. Absolutely everything. E: Absolutely everything? V: Yes, not if it tastes like shit or something like that… E: Of course… V: If there’s a bowl of candies in front of me, I eat the whole thing, even if I didn’t really wanted to. B: That’s a general bad habit everyone has… V: No, that’s not true. B: No, maybe not. V: But I can eat a whole bowl of something, and afterwards I am like: Huh? That is just shit. E: Hahaha, I know that feeling. Do you have some favourite Norwegian words? B: I really like “derav”, hence in English. V: But that can be irritating. B: No, you can never use it. V: I really like Saltpetre. E: Good to know, in any case. So, if you could choose a different name for yourselves, what would you like to be called? V: The group or as a person? E & B: As a person. V: It would be nice to have a name like… B: Like James… V: Yes, something that works in Norwegian and English. For example…Bernhard. But I don’t want to be called Bernhard. B: But shouldn’t we also choose a last name? E: Maybe, if you want to. V: So, maybe John Johnson… E: So, a very easy one? B & V: Yes, very easy. V: Mark Spencer. B: I thought something like…what was it…Jim Morris…Isn’t he? E: Is he a singer? B: Yes, it’s a singer. V: Or was it James Morrison? B: But if you should be called something, it’s Jim Morrison. V: But if you would be called like that, it would just get confusing. B: But if you are called Jim Morrison…Yes, I think I want to be called Jim. E: Would you like something more to drink? We have water… (They both finished their Pepsi Maxx). V: No thanks. But very nice of you. B: But would you like something else to drink? We have softdrinks. E: No, thank you, I’m fine. I wonder about what you spend most money on in your free time. For yourselves. V: Hookers and coke. B: Food. E: Food? B: Yes, I don’t buy anything anymore…but… V: I think it’s food and shortcuts to a good piece of food. B: Yes, time, I buy time. That’s what I use money for. Now we take a cab, now we go to the restaurant… V: Or order in. And that’s very expensive in Norway. - Someone comes in and talks to them for a bit- E: Okay, whom would you rather be trapped in the elevator with? From Ylvis, Magnus, Calle Bård, or Vegard? V: Oh like this… B: Calle. V: I think Calle. E: Everyone choses Calle. V: I think that’s very…it’s very… B: But he gets afraid. He panics. E: Oh, like claustrophobia? B: Yes - Someone comes in again- B: Like that, yes. I think on a rational level it’s best to choose Vegard in a way. It’s boring if you are trapped there for a long time, or for your whole life, so I would have chosen Vegard. E: Because he has many skills and so on? B: Yes, I think he would think rational and would find ways to design things to become cups, so you can eat, and find food. V: I am superior in this amongst the three. B: Yes. V: But the social aspect…is far behind… E: Yes, many people ask: How is it to… B: Work with your brother? E: Yes, right. Is it irritating that everyone asks the same question? B: No, it’s totally natural that people wonder about that. E: But is it actually true when you say that you don’t do anything else with each other besides working? B: That we don’t to something in our free time? E: Yes… B: But we don’t have free time… E: Only work? V: (laughs) B: I don’t do anything with somebody else either, I don’t have any friends. V: The only thing is that we have children who are friends. E: But that is nice. V: Yes, I think it’s really great. It’s great that they have each other. Because we didn’t have a lot of contact with our cousins when we were little. So I think that it’s very nice that they have each other. B: And then our wives are really good friends. E: How nice! V: So it would be a bit bad if we became proper enemies…(laughs) B: So it happens we meet… E: It happens, yes… V: And also we can borrow things from each other. E: Very practical. V: I still have a circular saw that is yours. Can that be correct? B: The Davis 070? V: Bosch. B: Oh, this one, right. V: I think it’s down at my place. B: And I have another saw, I don’t know if it’s yours or dad’s. V: No, it’s not dad’s. - Magnus comes in and waits for the lift- Everyone: Hi. M: Hi, what are you doing? B: Such a media…interview. M: Media-interview? B: Yes, because we’re celebrities, 27/4. What are you doing with that? M: Do I have to press here? B: No, just wait a bit. Give my kindest regards to Amanda. V: It’s a bit embarrassing if you keep standing there… -Magnus leaves- V: Now it’s coming. B: Yes, now it’s coming. E: But do you also borrow clothes from each other? B & V: No. E: There are sometimes people who wonder, if they see pictures, and think: Didn’t Vegard wear this one before? B: Yes, it can happen during a recording, and I think “shit”, I have borrowed Vegard’s blue jacket during some recording…what was it again…it was the music video for Gabriel. V: Yes, that’s correct B: In the music video for Gabriel I am wearing a blue jacket because we always forget costumes, so we come to the recording and it’s like: Oh, fuck, we can’t wear those pants, and so it happens… V: (shouts) Magnus! Now the lift is here. B: But we never borrow privately, no. V: Now you have to hurry, you have to come to the lift. B: We borrow clothes because we just forgot to bring something. V: (To Magnus): Get home safely, good work today. B: Very good work. V: Be careful in the lift. M: Yes, bye. E & B & V: Bye! E: So…next question is…do you have a favourite season? B & V: Spring! E: So many questions about favourite things. B: That’s fine. They are easy to answer. V: No, they’re not. B: Yes. I have answered the, very precisely. V: Okay, what is your favourite human being? B: Me. E: Very rational… V: Ha-ha no, you can’t say that… - Everybody laughs- E: Okay…can you describe each other with only 5 words? B: Each other? E: Yes. V: Five describing words, or a sentence with five words? E: Five describing words… B: So for Vegard it’s nerd…and kind…little empathic… E: Hahaha.. V: Hahaha, no. Not really. B: Yes, you lack the ability to put yourself into the feelings of others, and that is what empathy is about. That doesn’t mean that you’re not kind, but you always have some problems with it… V: Yes, maybe. B: You have difficulties with putting yourself into Helene’s thoughts. So you feel below the average. V: That is for sure. B: Rational…and maybe…yes, a bit parsimonious. V: Yes, I would think so. B: But only in comparison to me, because I’m a total idiot with money. And boring as well, but now I have said 6. V: But boring is becoming more and more fitting for Bård… B: Hahaha, yes, old! E: Old? B: Yes, and boring, it wasn’t me who should have said that. V: Yes, words…how can you express it if someone acts as if they were 20 years older? Old in spirit? E: (laughs) B: Too young for his time? V: No…he is…err….uummmm….err. B: Exciting to de described. Always disappointing. V: He is…it’s difficult to create the words, there has to be something that describes him… B: Awesome maybe? E: Or cool? B: Yes! V: No…neat…he is in the know. B: Aha? V: He is… - The director comes in and talks a bit with them- V: He is… E: We can also take a different question? V: No…okay, shoot. E: How would your ideal holiday look like? V: Favourite holiday…? E: Yes. B: Four weeks in a deserted place, no people, only sun. E: Only you? B: No, me and my family. V: And bathing. B: Yes, bathing. And a beach where everyone finds their own things to do. And then there is a golf course right next to it, a training studio, and a restaurant with very good and cheap food. And four places in the same place, it’s not allowed to move. E: Not at all…or? V: No, with many activities. B: Yes, many activities. V: All kinds of things. B: You can sail, you can dive, you can play tennis, you can play gold… V: And on this island, it’s warm on the beach, but if you move a bit… B: The air! V: A bit further upcountry, it’s tepid. B: And the air is very… V: Dry. V: Yes, the air is very nice and…clear water. V: It’s the island of conditions which is very nice. And you can go for a walk…just relax E: So some people were wondering if you like playing golf for real, or if it was something for TV? V: He is very embarrassed for playing golf. E: Yes? Why that? V: Because it’s a bit snobbish, and I understand that. B: Yes, snobbish. V: It’s not really snobbish anymore, but something that has a snobbish reputation, and that is… B: Yes, I wanted to play golf all my life. Well, not all my life, but I bought my first golf club after we had our first performance in Oslo in…2003 maybe? No, but I bought it and thought: Jesus Christ. You will have a child, you can’t play golf with a small child. Because if I start something, I go all in. So I just waited and waited and waited. And my house in Bergen was right next to a golf course. So I passed it every day, and it was a bit…And when I began, it was very good. And now I have a bit more time because my children are a bit older. I don’t really have time, but it’s… I was smarter, Vegard started later with having children. When Daniel will turn six, you will be flying all the time. How often would you like to fly? V: Every day. And I did, before. E: I have also translated an interview from around that time, 2001 or 2002, and the radio program leader asked you: What is happiness in life for you. I would like to ask the same and see… B: If it’s still the same? V: Because we don’t know that anymore. So it’s smart. B: Happiness in life? Happiness in life is to become happier. So the change from deep depression to improvement. Improvement is happiness in life, I think. V: Yes, totally agree. The positive trend, or revert as it’s called in mathematical language. So the revert of happiness is… B: Luck. V: Happiness. E: Do you want to know what you answered? B &V: Yes! E: So, you Bård said Big Brother. B: Hahaha, but back then I was in the beginning of my comedy-career, and should be comical all the time. E: Yes, that’s true. And you Vegard said first flight simulator… V: Hahaha, yes! E: And afterwards you said that it is that you can do what you like to do, and be busy with something that is fun… B: But of course it was only a joke from my side… E: Yes, of course. B: I was very…into it, so for example, one year ago I watched Paradise Hotel all the time, and I loved it. And then there was a period where I watched Geordie Shore…and loved it. And that was happiness. V: So if you’re really into something. When I am busy watching a show, right? E: Yes… V: And there is a show where you have to watch one episode after the other…. E: Do you have such a show at the moment? V: Yes, I do, it’s a Swedish show, what is it called? E: Swedish? V: Yes, it’s Swedish, don’t remember the name. But the point is that if you like it and sit down, everything is tidied up, the kids have gone to bed, and then you watch the intro and the people that you kind of developed a relationship to, you feel well-being inside you. And that’s strange. E: Yes, very true. - Bård’s mobile phone rings- B: Sorry, wife and so on. E: No problem. Would you like to write something on these cards here? Those people couldn’t come. B: Absolutely. E: Didn’t we have two pens? D: No. V: You say “ikkje”… E: Yes…maybe that’s a bad habit? V: No, it is nice. Continue doing it… - The guys write something onto my postcards- V: I was pretty short here, because…what does “god bedring” mean in English? B: Get well soon (To Vegard): Biiiiiiitch. V: Hahaha yes. Thanks for leaving so much space for me on this card here… E: Thank you. And I also have some gifts, and then I’m finished. V: Oi oi oi. E: Something totally strange… V: Is it? E: Yes, we had to buy extra luggage on the plane to bring them to Norway. V: No, you got to be kidding, that is cool. E: Yes, I thought I would get some small packages, but they are just…here (Bubble wrap suits) B & N: No, is that true? B: That is veeeeeery cool. Whose gift are those? Yours? E: Yes, it’s from me. B: That is very cool. E: Yes, I saw them and thought, good idea. V: Yes, very good idea…protection. E: Yes, or just to annoy people with them. B: Do they bang? E: I hope so, yes. V: But you don’t want them to bang too much. B: We could go into the library. Very nice. Thank you. You will get a proper hug for that, but first we will (shakes my hand). V: No….we will hug properly afterwards. E: And this is something you said during an interview in 2001 (shows them a booklet with pictures, 15 years with Ylvis). I thought it was funny. Do you remember? V: Yes. E: Yes? (laughs) B: No, we don’t. -The guys look at the pictures- B: Oh my god…look at the face… V: The have gotten older… E: Just a bit. You nearly don’t see the difference. V: (giggles). Where do you find all those pictures? E: Google… V: Thank you very much. B: I kind of remember every single one of these photo shoots… V: Yes…this you don’t remember. I was alone there…look at Johnny! E: And there is a lot of space for 15 more years… B: So we should fill it ourselves? E: Yes… B: So I just have to go in to (reads out the back of the booklet): Mein CEWE Fotobuch. E: Exactly. V: Can we keep it? E: Of course. V: This is really great. E: Thank you so much. Can we also take a picture? V: Of course. B: Gladly.

hygiene/beauty masterpost

i’m done with finals thank the lawd so i thought i’d compile a list of useful stuff and personal advice regarding personal hygiene or whatever :))

hair:

tips:

when showering, try to keep shampoo away from your ends. they dry out much more quickly, and shampoo strips away any natural oils or moisture in your ends, meaning your hair will look frizzy even after conditioner. the hair closer to your scalp is the only part that needs to be cleaned anyway. blake lively, the goddess of hair herself, swears by this.

don’t condition your hair near your scalp!! this will inevitably create product/oil buildup and will make your hair greasy and flat. only use it on your ends (for longer hair, start at the nape of ur neck and work toward the ends). also, let your conditioner sit for a minute or two after applying. i usually shave or wash my face while it sits so i make sure it has time to work its magic.

instead of wrapping wet hair in a towel twist, try the old t-shirt twist! t-shirts are much gentler and less abrasive against delicate wet hair, which, you guessed it, reduces frizz.

when brushing wet hair, start at the ends and work your way up. if you have to put in product before you brush it, like me, use a different brush at the scalp to reduce any product buildup/greasiness/flatness.

don’t go to bed with your hair wet. not only can you develop mold/bacteria in your hair if it stays wet too long (GROSS), wet hair is a lot more prone to breakage (meaning the more you toss and turn, the frizzier your hair will be). the main reason i advise against it is because it makes your scalp itch like crazy and can make your roots look oily the next day.

brush your hair out at the end of the day to distribute the natural oils in your scalp–this is good for creating shine, decreasing oiliness in second- or third-day roots, and growing out your hair.

please use heat protectants before drying/heat styling your hair!!

evenly distribute any products you put in by brushing them through.

if you have dandruff, get some selsun blue, head&shoulders, or neutrogena T-gel shampoo. they will save your life and your scalp.

don’t use scalding hot water when showering, ESPECIALLY if you have colored hair. not only does it basically strip color from your hair, it’s bad for your hair texture and health. try to use warm to cool water (the colder the water, the shinier your hair!! it helps seal the hair shaft).

if your hair lacks body, especially near the scalp, it could be the result of product buildup. try using a clarifying shampoo once every week or two depending on your hair’s thickness.

if your hair is still flat, try changing your part! it instantly changes your look and can immediately add volume.

try to get your hair trimmed every 6 months, at the least.

sea salt spray creates instant body and texture on most hair types. it is especially great if you have wavy to curly hair or short hair. one of my favorites is organix moroccan oil sea salt spray– you can find it at drugstores for a great price and it works beautifully, plus the moroccan oil adds shine and softness. another good and even cheaper one is nym sea salt spray (also available at most drugstores).

coconut oil is a godsend. use it as a hair mask, an after-shower detangler, a product in place of smoothing creme, or put a tiny bit on your fingers to smooth flyaways. you can basically use it for whatever u want. just make sure it’s organic or else you’re not helping your hair much lol

body:

tips:

use an unscented pH balanced bar soap, such as dove or aveeno, to prevent dryness, acne, or any harsh chemicals from damaging your skin. this is especially important when washing your underarms, ya bizness, and any other sensitive areas.

liquid body wash actually tends to clog pores more than bar soap, so if you have body acne, try cleansing with bar soap instead.

the best way to get rid of body acne is to use a spray with salicylic acid after drying your skin post-shower. my favorite is acnefree, but neutrogena body clear and nature’s cure are also great. if you have long hair, try to keep it off your back/shoulders, especially when wet/after applying product.

if you have keratosis pilaris, also known as KP (google for images), the best way to get rid of it is to exfoliate with either a sugar scrub or a gentle exfoliator in the shower, then moisturize immediately after you dry off. it’s really just the result of dry skin, so if you maintain it you could get rid of it. this goes for dry skin in general.

if you shave, always buy men’s razors. you get a much closer and smoother shave since they’re made for faces instead of legs. i know they’re not cute or colorful, but you can get more razors as well as more/better blades for less money. i can get 5 men’s disposable razors with 4 blades each for $8, instead of 3 women’s razors with 3 blades each for like $11. it’s a conspiracy. buy men’s razors please. dismantle the constructs of gender

moisturize when you get out of the shower, after you dry off a little. it will help your skin retain moisture better and make your skin softer, since water and soap dry it out. i don’t recommend using baby oil since mineral oil is terrible for your skin, and i don’t recommend stuff with artificial fragrances or dyes, but if you want to smell like jasmine midnight kisses or w/e then do ur thing. i usually use aveeno, eucerin, aquaphor body lotion, or just coconut oil since they’re all great for sensitive skin and absorb quickly.

please shower after you work out or sweat a lot. you will prevent body acne, bacteria buildup, yeast infections, smelling horrendous, and even staph infection (particularly if you go to the gym). you don’t have to wash your hair every time unless you’re drenched in sweat but please shower.

underarms are sensitive children who will throw tantrums if you don’t pay them proper attention. try to find deodorant without aluminum or any weird preservatives to prevent rashes. i recommend tom’s deodorant or making your own.

if you have really dry, cracking feet, try putting vaseline or a thick lotion (i use burt’s bees coconut foot creme) on your feet, put on socks, and keep them on overnight. it will feel a little weird and squishy at first, but after a few days you will definitely find it worth the weirdness!!

tips:

i cannot stress enough how amazing coconut oil is. use it as a makeup remover (especially wonderful for eye makeup!!), a moisturizer, or even as an acne treatment:

if you have one of those god-awful huge, painful blemishes, mix coconut oil with some 100% tea tree oil (dilute the tea tree oil like this or you WILL get a rash) and use it as a spot treatment. the coconut oil balances the oil on your skin, while the tea tree oil kills bacteria.

be gentle when dealing with your skin, especially with pulling and tugging around your eyes. you will thank me when you’re older.

don’t listen to vogue or cosmo and don’t start using anti-aging products in your twenties. please. you don’t need it. do incorporate sun protection into your daily routine. get a moisturizer with spf in it to protect your skin and use it in the mornings. this will prevent wrinkles and, more importantly, skin cancer.

wash your face first thing in the morning to get rid of all the nasty excess oil you produce in your sleep. wash it before you go to bed (after removing makeup) too.

after washing your face, apply a toner (or, if you have acne, a treatment containing salicylic acid. i use clearisil 5 in 1 pads or neutrogena natural spot treatment), let it dry, and then moisturize. this is so important. i don’t care who you are or your skin type. when you apply acidic products or wash your face without moisturizing it, your skin gets stripped of natural oils/moisture and then panics by creating an excess of oil, meaning you get greasy skin and acne. get a moisturizer that works with your skin type and i promise you will notice a difference if you don’t already use it.

if you wear makeup and want to go for a quick/easy/natural/no-makeup look, or if you don’t have time to do your full face, or if you think you look dead bc you didn’t sleep, you don’t need to do a bunch of extra stuff. just cover up any acne with concealer, put on some blush and mascara, and then leave everything else alone. blush is magical and will instantly make you look fresh and young and alive and pretty.

don’t touch your acne. the more you touch it, the worse it gets. if you have to…pop it (i’m sorry that’s so gross i couldn’t think of another way to say it), just make sure you wash your hands first and disinfect/put acne treatment on it directly afterward. STOP trying to do anything if you see blood or if it gets too painful.

clean your phone screen and glasses frames with an alcohol swab every few days to keep your face clean.

please, for the love of god, don’t put lemon juice or baking soda on your face. it is so corrosive. don’t listen to pinterest. also, don’t use sugar scrub or body exfoliator on your face as it’s way more delicate than your body’s skin.

if you get a lot of chin-area acne, it could be a hormonal issue. talk to your doctor about birth control, and if you’re already taking it then make sure you’re taking it regularly (which you should be anyway omg)

wash/change your sheets and pillowcase(s) every two weeks at the LEAST. imagine how much nastiness gets on your pillowcase from hair products, oil, dead skin…i don’t even wanna think about what gets on it. plus, fresh sheets always make everything better :)

drink lots of water every day. your skin needs it.

above all, love your skin. be gentle to it. treat it well. it will love you back if you do.

Ylvek: They know 4 Norwegian words- Article translation

http://m.kjendis.no/2016/02/16/kjendis/ylvis/show/talkshow/polakker/43172599/

I translated an interesting article about Ylvek :)

They know 4 Norwegian words- tonight they open one of Norway’s biggest talk shows Jacek ‘Vegek’ Cazaja was a policeman in Poland- he quit his job to work with Ylvis In November the Ylvis brothers Bård and Vegard Ylvisåker travelled to Poland looking for someone who could be their stand-ins in the talk show I kveld med Ylvis. The brothers from Bergen explained that they ‘unfortunately hade made some double bookings’, and therefore they thought that they had demand for back-up. In tonight’s show on TVNorge, we will see the Polish version of Ylvis starting the show. The Polish version has received the name Ylvek, and consists of Jacek Cazaja, Radoslaw Zalewski and Lukasz Soblik. The three of them have now received the nicknames Vegek, Bårdek and Callek. The Norwegian version has, as is generally-known, comedian Calle Hellevang Larsen on their team, together with Bård and Vegard

Total geniuses

They are excited and nervous about tonight, but they don’t regret one second that they are doing this. They said that they knew Ylvis before, but due to their monster-hit ‘The Fox’ - Before I came here, I checked all their songs and clips on YouTube, and I became a fan immediately. The Ylvis-boys are totall geniuses, especially because they attract a wide range of people in all parts of the world, Jackek ‘Vegek’ says, and explains that this is one of the reasons that he himself wanted to be a part of it. ‘Vegek’ says that he saw Ylvis looking for a Polish version of themselves on Polish TV. This was just three hours before the casting should start, and he decided quickly to go there and try his luck. - The audition should happen in a place not far away from where I live, so I just drove there. Even if my wife didn’t like the idea of me attending something I had seen on the internet, he says and laughs out loud.

He adds that his wife nearly didn’t believe him when he came back after the audition, when he told her that he was chosen to be a part of Norway’s biggest talk show.

Were nearly beaten up

The trio says that there were both funny and scary experiences when they should play Ylvis’ known sketches for the hidden camera segment. Lukasz ‘Callek’ Soblik says that he had an unexpected reaction from a man when he should prick unknown people with a stick on the street. - He actually tried to beat me up, he claims.

Wish to live in Norway The Poles haven’t been in Norway for a long time, and temporary they know four Norwegian words: Thanks, and I love you Even if they can’t be brilliant with a few sentences, all three agree which country they could imagine moving to: Norway I have travelled around the world a lot, and I have the wish to move away from Poland. Norway is a fantastic country, it is clean, fresh air, people are friendly and it’s not as crowded here as it is in many other European countries, Jacek ‘Vegek’ says. Extreme versions Vegard Ylvisåker says to Dagbladet that they didn’t have all the time in the world to get to know the three Poles during the audition, but that they nevertheless struck pretty well in terms of similarity. - Vegek is obviously the most proper one of them, Bårdek is very funny while Callek is the most physical of the three of them. They are in a way more extreme versions of us, the comedian thinks, who reveals that they communicate in a mixture of Norwegian, English and Polish:

I assume that everyone who renovated a bathroom or two knows the dialect.

From being a police man to being an Ylvis-copy But if even the types of personalities of the three Poles match the Ylvis brothers and Calle Hellevang Larsen to a certain extent, their backgrounds are somewhat different. Vegek is a police officer, who by the way gave up his job to be able to come to Norway. Callek works for VJ in TV, and Bårdek is a kind of actor and producer, Ylvisåker says. - But we had an open audition in Poland, and to us it didn’t matter if they were celebrity actors or plumbers- or policemen.

#ylvek #thanks for that #!!!
