Hello, if there is anyone on board who has an Audi A6 or A4, please call Sportback, around 20-20-1-1. I'll be there. I'm sitting on 8C, please come in for a non-compliant talk. Thank you.

It is expensive to buy a car without Fyn.no. More than 60 000 cars on Fyn.no. We'll try again. Alvan with Hidi is back in the studio. We started on a podcast here. Yes. And then there was so damn good flow. And then you had to practice the rhythm.

And then there was something wrong with the headset. We can hear... What's wrong with the sound? I won the NLK production. We have a technician who is screwing and knotting through the whole thing. So I'm very tired. You've gotten a bit mad at the sound. I've actually played another podcast today. So I've sat the whole podcast.

The feeling that there is a sound in my ears. But you who listen to it, you probably enjoy it. They have it great. I have also thought that the sound in the headset is not good enough. But I have been confirmed time and time again that I listen to the podcast from time to time. It will be fine. I have the feeling that you will cut out this. No, I never cut it out. You don't? Unless you are talking about something that you are afraid of,

and you just call me and say that you have to remove it. And I think that I will of course do that, but it's really annoying. It's really annoying. Galvan, Galvan, Galvan, I have, you came so damn early, I sat here with Francisco Briseno, and then I thought

that I would finish, because I was going to have a 20 minute break to try to get something on the block. You won't get it. I didn't have the opportunity. I worked on Rema 1000 in the old days and then my boss said, are you late enough? He said. Yes. If you come just in time, you have to use the time to say hello, take your jacket, pre-talk and so on. And he thinks in the bottom line, right?

If you start 12 and come 12, you use a damn long time to start up. So I've got that in with the mother-melt. Always be a little early outside, because then you're ready when it's time to melt. Had some big success with the show, thank you to Saddam. There's something else in the demo. Yes, had big success, but I didn't think of you. It will be 20 minutes before 10 in a podcast. But this is what I talked about before.

If people say that success goes in the head, I don't think so. I think you can give me all success in the world, and I might be terrified of losing that success. Bård Dan, I don't understand people who get so... I really don't understand people who get high on themselves. I don't understand the who are... I really don't understand people who are not proud of themselves. I don't understand the concept of being proud of themselves. No, I understand what you mean. I can understand it, because I have been a bit proud of myself. I have had... Success, yes. Yes, there was a sudden break, but it was like... One thing is a show of success, another thing is like...

Suddenly you get a lot of exposure to the TV success, when you haven't had it before. I've always thought that I should never miss it, never think you're something. I grew up with that. But I had to look at the cabin stuff. There was so much pressure. And then it was a period. But then I understand, because it was a damn win for you. You really got the whole gallery of who Henrik is. It was a pressure. I probably missed a little bit by then.

I got some comments from friends that now it's a bit much. I think because I have been working behind the camera for so long, and worked with so many people who get a little success, and then they get so high on themselves. And then I see that you took that extra fasti instead of coming to the reading test, and that was actually the domino brick, which made it not work. And then you're done. And it's a small industry, we are a small Norway. So I just think that the more exposure I have gotten, the more anxiety I have gotten. Because this will be gone if I just... I don't think I will be slower.

I won't be like... Oh, I can't miss this. I know you a bit, we talked about it. It's a gift and a curse you have. When things go well, you think about about what if it doesn't go well? And if it goes bad, it never goes well? It will probably go bad again. Now I lost everything. I have to sit still in the boat. I think you have a bit like that too. You get a bit high on yourself during a period, but what's so great about stand-up is that we and you think, I am the worst comedian in the world. I am the worst. And that is how it is.

If you don't have that, it is because you haven't tested enough material. And that has now... You should have believed that you had been doing this for a long time, but you haven't. It has started so far. Suddenly you started, and suddenly you had a show,

and suddenly you were filling out room after hall. It's a bit provocative. It feels like it's a real imposter syndrome. It's like, we're fucking the Emperor's new clothes, everyone thinks they're going to like it, they're like, ha ha ha, culturally. I feel that sometimes. Yes, because what you learn over the years is just that you have some jokes that are very good. And that's what most of the audience will laugh at.

But then you have to start all over again and try the bad ones. And people don't always want to laugh at that. And even if people don't laugh, you don't have to bury yourself in it. It's just the way it is. We all are not Espen Averhramsen who writes four jokes a minute. I suspect people who are like, fuck it, I'm going to try a lot of new things and then it explodes. Espen is really good, really productive. Productive as fuck.

And he is in two shows with Dag Søra as well. They have a little bit of the same style, they are different, but they have a similar approach to... When you write about very current things that both of them do, or something like that... They are rigged too much in their material. I am not like that, it goes far between, because I try to have more universal things, the timeless... You know you can use this in 17... You think and say, do you remember 9-11? Yes, have you had that joke since 2001?

Have you had that since 2001? You have timeless things that can work anywhere. But it's not important to be an important person, there are no Renaissance painters who think that Nehrdrum and such, they think that he doesn't like anything political or something that is a time-determined in art. Have you seen the Nehrdrum series? Yes, I have. I love it. I was abroad when it was on the worst, then came back, the buzz was a little over. So I didn't sit down. I saw one episode and thought, yes, this is a fun family.

But there are many and also several philosophers in itch and so on, I think I've talked about it. This with timelessness, that you should not be a dog after trends and things in time. I'd rather try to be timeless. That's not why I'm like that. I think it's difficult to make things on the current things. I think the current bits are difficult. I keep thinking that now is a first place day south of us. I went up after Dagengang when he had some fantastic takes. And I come up there with a half-hearted Trump take, and I'm like, what am I trying?

You have to be a little sharp to do things right, and it's not that hard to have a joke. We're fighting, it's universal. It's the same with Sannich. It's not that hard to have a joke? We are fighting for the universe. It's Sanniché too. It's not so hard to make a joke. He is fighting for jokes. Timeless jokes. Timeless jokes. In fact, it's his unpublished book. Timeless jokes.

But look at when he was alive. Or if you go back to the 18th century. Or 1833. who cares about what was a tense conflict between what is Croatian today and what is… Nobody cares! It disappears! You have to be up to a world war level too much into it now. Yes. It's all other bullshit, but it's generally. I actually had this... not to get too... what's it called? Trippy. I was in England on a weekend with my sister. I was on the train to Manchester.

I had my first... I've heard people say it many times, but I've never had that feeling. I had my first... when I look out and see people, I am like, they are alive! They are alive too! Have you had that before? I haven't had that before. I had that feeling of existential crisis. The little boy who is playing outside the car, while dad is trying to get out, or whatever, he's like, they have a life!

The little boy from Leeds, the ten year old in Leeds, who kicks his ball on the garage door. He should have thoughts and feelings that are more important to him than anything else in the world. I was sitting on the train and it was like going into a black hole. What the fuck? He might become something big, he might become a great scientist. But before that he will have sex with the sexist, he will be in a coma before his orgasm. 100% He might lose a leg. 100%!

He will have problems where he feels that this is the most important thing in the world, and I will be a pain in the ass. Then I will put things in perspective. I think it was Nietzsche, but there are others. Freud, I don't remember, there was one of the motherfuckers who talked about this, when we have it too good, we start to be self-destructive. Speaking of what we talked about yesterday, now it's going well, people shouldn't have it calm and nice around them. Because then you become, then you start to turn the conflict inside you. Yes, that's true.

But that's not a question. And you have a perspective there. You came and it was about to show off. Thank you for Saddam. Thank you. You have just briefly come from Iraq. And send you a thank you to Saddam, because you got a thing with tragedy is that you don't know if it is a tragedy. You don't know if it is a real tragedy. In the long run, of course, there and then, and in that period. But then you come to a point where you think

that maybe this is the best thing that's going to happen to me. It's the extreme thing, that the bad luck often comes dressed as luck, and the other way around. A friend of mine said this before I started writing this. I told her about the show and she said that her parents lost a child before she was born. And to fill that empty room they wanted a new child, and that was her. And in a strange way she was thankful that it happened, because otherwise she wouldn't have existed today. That's the same mechanism.

Yes, it's a paradox that I'm sad because it happened to them, it shouldn't have happened. But I wouldn't have been here today if it hadn't happened. And then I'm here with the best Sadi. If he hadn't decided to go out for mass murder, we wouldn't have been here today. We wouldn't have been here talking jokes. I would not be sitting here today, I would not be making jokes on the ladder. That's right. And that has been for you, I mean, you digged those things. But also because you have been who you were. I mean, you have had a deep wish in your bones to be uneducated.

Uneducated, yes. To be a devil. And to have done the pig thing. wish to be impudent. Impudent? Yes. To be a devil. And get made a pig. In his art, you married him when he was 18, because your father is afraid that you will go around and pull. Yes, but it's a little more of a well-organized relationship. So it's a bit of a flak. You wouldn't have had it so good if you were very involved in that rigid thing.

My dad said that his father is one of the main reasons why you should marry off your children. Because you are afraid of going out and making problems with your family. So you just have to marry and get into a relationship immediately. But yes, I have... Sorry, I think I missed something. Yes, it's just to use your time. But I was at your show in Asc... No, where was it? Slemmedad? No, where the hell was it? You just threw away the confusion you were going to talk about and straight up... You used the one with the cricket.

I used the one with the cricket. It was damn nice that you came to Slemmedad. Yes, Slemmedad. We went there, you were going to have a show, and I took some of our friends with me. Marta was there, Alon Fellus, and Mia Frangner, who sat in her car, came over there, and you sit there, come in there, and you sit there alone with your nuts and their wine bottles. And that was very nice. But how is it to travel around alone? Because I have a little too many people with me.

Yes, and on one hand I miss it sometimes to be a small group. I am very social, I am very fond of that, but I don't have any problem being alone, it doesn't cost me much either. And I have something with that you have have some crew with you. I have with me Lyd, because they are some technical crews, and then I have with me Opvarmr, and then I have with me Mia, who is the producer of Torrmanager, as it's called, your fanciness. Torrmanager, right. But it's the thing that Ole Sover, our friend, has told me, he said, do you need someone to put your shorts on? Torrmanager! Torrmanager, what the hell are you talking about? Stand up in your chair and say Torrmanager! You're putting your shorts on. Door manager! What the fuck are you talking about?

I'm standing up in a door and say door manager! Yes, 100% those words. It's mostly because it's small things that can be fixed. And it's a nice gang to travel with. I heard it, not to copy Karp, but I heard it. It was a Linnemo interview, and Linnemo asked Karpe and said, where are all the cool cars and houses and where do you pay a lot of money? And they said, we use all the money on the show. Because if there are cars I want, I work to get them.

But if there is a show I want to remember... The way to sit with. I will never lie on deathbed thinking that I bought a cool car in 2024. I remember that I spent so much money on this show that I will never forget, the audience will never forget. So I have a nice gang, so I can remember it. I will not cut costs to buy a new iPhone. I would rather spend more money and have a fun trip. That's absolutely right. I've talked a lot about this in the podcast.

I know the way to the goal. That material things aren't so important. Some people never want to realize that, but I think that's the phase. And it is the phase. And at least we end up with this with unhappiness for clothes as happiness. The most classic is wealth. That you get a lot. And then you think that's the perfect thing,

but in the end you forget the important things. Why do you think that's the perfect thing? But in the end you forget the important things. Why do you think everyone who becomes a millionaire suddenly starts doing yoga and shit? They notice that they can't do it. I noticed this when I started getting a permanent job. And had the opportunity to travel. Not that I had never been rich, but I had a permanent job, lived a bit cheaper, had a much better life, and I remember that I took my dad on a trip abroad, and I was so high in my head with work, and I didn't participate in all the things he and because he was a friend of mine. And I thought, I can just come back another time. And then I thought, what?

I wanted to experience this now, but I thought, I have the right to come back another time. Then I started thinking, you know, millionaires and rich people who are like, you can just get on a plane and go to Tokyo, is it so special for them to go to Tokyo? Is it so special for them to go to the pyramids? No, because they know that they can just snap their fingers and they have a privacy and then they have your data. So I just realized that if I had become rich and such, I would have been even more depressed. In itself, there is no fun in going there. And if you don't have it, you, it makes you unique. Yes, the sense of urgency, like this I will not experience any other time, I can never understand this. Yes, and I have been on vacation and have done things after I grew up and got a little better

health and such, but nothing can measure up with when you are on a trip and are poor. You didn't have a penny? No, and not least, had everything in the world, didn't have a penny? No, and just, and not least, I had all the time in the world, I didn't have the drive to do things, the more responsibility you get, the more, I don't know, the more you have to do, the more stress you have when you're actually going to take it easy. And I notice that, I still say that day by day in interviews and such, what is the best you know, a boring day in the calendar, when I have nothing to do.

But you know what? I realize I can't enjoy it. I don't enjoy it anymore. Before I was the best in the world at just walking around and not doing anything, wandering around, enjoying myself, not a concern in life. I have to go back to that.

And because I am, I stress all the time that here you should have done something. If it's just about thinking thoughts, I stress that you have to think thoughts. I agree with you on the leading day in the calendar. For me it's just a pit stop, because you know you have to get up early to have something the day after. It's just a waiting room day, and that's fucked up. It's fucked up that one day that's like, Oh, great, I can do whatever I want.

I'm just like, no, this is just a waiting day for something else, because the brain is like, it's a kind of goods train that doesn't stop. And then it's like, oh, now we just have to stop at this platform. But we're going further, because it's coming, oh, that whole thing. So I understand 100% what you're saying. And then you think that, yes, yes, but now it's a bit like that, but it's because there is also a lot to do now. Right now there is a lot to do. It will change. But for many it doesn't. It rolls and goes. It's thinner and goes.

And then you regret the death penalty. You should have a new path. A new path? The path is the goal. Yes, so that's what everyone Everyone says that. Everyone. And we are aware of it. You can hear it now. We are aware of it. But it's about taking the grip. It's not comparable. I had the chance to stop listening to music and to go around for an hour, at least, a day.

But it doesn't help. It helps, sorry, it helps, but while I'm doing it I'm just thinking about how I want to listen to this song to give me that feeling. And I have been through a lot of this, because I got an announcement. It was in connection with that I read the book, Stolen Focus, or a book called Stolen Focus, and then I just realized that it's... Because he talks about what Johan has in his book. He talks about this, that we believe that having content available to you all the time, if it is... And you think, a screen, that you sit deep down in a screen is very destructive. But just having a podcast on your ear or music on your ear all the time, it destroys all the own thoughts you have and the flow of thought you can get into.

So if you take a podcast on your ear for half an hour, it's not enough either. You have to have it for a longer time to get into thought flow. And this is, this is known through research on this with deep thought. That if you sit and work with something over several hours, have you tried it in your adult age? No, no, I remember this. I've done this sporadically up through and then of course I'm not able to implement it. Idiot as I am. But when you sit for a long time and work with something, you realize that,

damn it, now, now a lot of things are coming here. Because your brain needs several hours to get into such a flow. And you totally miss that. Christopher Nolan says that. He refuses to fly privately. He wants to fly commercially, because then he gets bored. And then the thoughts come. He says, I refuse to do it. I don't want to stress from place to place, because then you don't have time to get bored.

And when you get bored, like the best things I've ever done. I remember before the solo show, thanks for that, there was Martin who said, go on a trip without music. Laptop. Yes. And then it was one of the things I was most satisfied with in the show. Then in the end I was on my way up the stairs home. And then I had walked an hour.

There it came. There it came, and then I called and said, Okay, this is it. And then it was what became one of the highlights of the show, which was like, this came only because I just refused to do it. And in conservative Islam, music is haram. It's the most conservative, they don't listen to music. You should at least not listen to any instruments. And that is a lot of fun. A cappella, can you hear it? A cappella, can you hear?

Allah o Akbar! Allah o Akbar! But don't eat pigs! But that is because... And I actually understand the logic. They say that music is like a smoke. It is like alcohol. Because it...

It determines your mood. You don't decide your mood. Have you ever had a really bad day and then you hear a song that goes like this? Or the other way around, you get really tired. Because it's like taking a shot. We shouldn't easily define you conservatively. No, but they have some points. Yes, often. They have some points. Back with the hijab. Yes, of course in the extreme it is a lot we have to hide.

But it is often, as I have thought in recent years, it is not stupid to have conservative political powers in a society, because it is going on. If we could have been so progressive, looking at the liberal, it would have gone too fast. It would have been a hell of a thing. You need some parents who say, is it so smart to jump from that edge? Yes. Maybe it's not. Sometimes it might be smart. We need a conservative adult who is like, is this it? We need that. We need that. When I talk about abortion and stuff,

there will be a lot of things to do with the bond with Handmaid's Tale outside the castle. We need those who are like, hello, should we pull out a twin here? Let's just see if it's a bond already. I remember thinking, it doesn't hurt to just take a round at least. We should pull out twins. This is also a bit of an off topic,

but that's also a new way of thinking I've realized. I can't hate the abortion-opponent at all, because, and now there's someone who automatically gets excited, I'm completely ahead of abortion, so I'll just say it. Self-determined abortion, 100%. You're not 100% sure? Yes, actually I'm 100%. But my point is that I have an understanding of what the others mean. Because on the one hand, those who are 100% for say that everyone who is against will decide about their bodies, and will be dictators over their bodies, and will take away women's rights. But then there are some of those who are against abortion who genuinely believe that they are human beings.

So to understand that, it's easier to argue against them. In contrast to saying, as soon as I disagree with you, you want to have me killed, and you want to control my body, and you want to control... No, there are also some who actually think... And they are wrong, because the medicine says that it's not a life before that and so on. But to understand that they actually believe it is more important than to say that, just because you are against me, you mean this, this, this, this. It's like Stråmann argument.

Yes, and then it is very common to be very far from freedom of expression, freedom of religion. But when it comes to these things, you completely remove the freedom of religion. Because then you don't really get into that this is a completely different culture and way of thinking. If you think that God has put the child in there, then it is a completely different way of seeing the world. And if you reject that, then you take away the freedom of religion. You speak two different languages with each other, and then you are both irritated that you have to... I think it's very important to be able to take that discussion in a civilized way, without it becoming so that you get completely angry. I agree. 100.

And then there are a lot of good jokes when you come to this with Bård, and just from that perspective it's a bit, that it's clear that it's a fight. There was one that had something to say about that. Yes, it's the best... Bill Burr has one of those. Yes, it's a fight. I don't remember what it is, if a guy is baking a cake and you just walk into the oven and just destroy the cake, it's not even a cake yet. It's not even a cake yet. I made this cake, the cake is on the way to be made. You have all the ingredients, I'm going to buy the ingredients. I have all the ingredients in my budget Far in the middle there was one thing I wanted to say To be able to handle this one, I don't think so

It was damn good, I had a great thing here Where were we again? You said backtrack, we suddenly went into an abortion discussion I would like to backtrack, but it's a bit... Conservatism is good, you have to have it So Singapore, I fuck hard with Singapore Singapore is like... I was in Singapore. I had a vacation in Singapore for 2-3 weeks. That was too long.

That was too long. No, it was way too long. It's rainy season. You think you're going to the south. It's raining a lot. And you're going to sunbathe a bit. And then it's going to rain. A lot of rain! Singapore is like... and then you take it and it's going to get a little sunny, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and then it's going to rain, and the living standards are very high, people earn a lot of money in Singapore, but if you are taken with a little coke, they shoot you.

So the dope is zero under no no. It's such a kind dictatorship, and talking about conservative forces, we need some conservative forces. It's like that in other countries, you need some... I have not... We have been raised that democracy is the only right thing, and I agree with that. Now I'm being problematic, but I agree with that. But sometimes you need the state to say, no, this is zero tolerance. Even the biggest fighters for democracy have, as I think Churchill said, democracy is the best of the worst. Yes, yes. And we just have to try to make it work.

And then we have to change the name of the democracy. So of course it's not optimal, or obviously not optimal. The fact that we are going to let people decide is actually a very bad idea. 100%? Then you get people like Trump. When the majority of people vote, you get Trump in the presidential seat? When you let the people vote, you get the rest of the people. The US is an example. You get a group of Democrats who are in a way, in the hidden hell. They are insane in a way.

I saw a meme where you have two bombers who bomb innocent people. They are Obama has bombed more in the middle east than any other president has done. And the fact that they have fucked so fucking much up, the ones they thought were the good ones, and there is so much propaganda misinformation and bullshit and shit, that has led to what we have here now. It's easy to get the masses with you if you have good enough propaganda. Very easy. What is it called? It's called something like when only the elite can vote. It's a kind of system where it's just a certain amount of people who can vote. Like it was before. Women couldn not vote. Only men could vote.

But this is a male who is only highly educated, not good. Damn, first place Wolfgang we got. But it's something about when everyone can vote, and you take a look around, and you see who is the biggest brother. There are so many brothers. 100% So it's a very bad idea to let them vote, but at the same time, it's not good to let one vote either. Because then it becomes autism, right? But what you want, and this is a thought experiment that you have seen several times, what if the dictator is good? Right?

Then you have solved it. Singapore? If the dictator is so good that the dictator is willing to listen to very good listeners, good listeners, rational and top. But all power corrupts everything, usually, and then you become... But like Saddam Hussein, I'll take it back to that. Saddam Hussein is respected by many Iraqis and even some Kurds as a damn good president. Because for his people he was very good.

He was a dictator who was... Sunni Muslimsni Muslim minority, and he was Sunni. Most of the people in that country were Shia. So he was a minority that was in charge of the majority. But he was still very good at keeping the balance with the Christians, with the Kurds. He managed to keep the balance with everyone. He gave people free health first of all, health care, school. Even dad said, dad was in the eighties, he was in Baghdad. He was in the Iraqi army before he became the enemy.

And he said Baghdad, and many say that Baghdad was the highlight in the Middle East. You went there, the money had been a lot. A lot of French and English tourists, and it was just a paradise, you went to discos, you went to the streets, it was just like, it was like a picture of the classic Middle East, that was it. And people were rich, people had money, there was no... Dad didn't have discrimination there, you couldn't be discriminated for being Kurdish, if you did, you were arrested, so it was very strict with the discrimination, but he controlled it with his brain, You couldn't be discriminated against because you were Kurdish. If you did, you would be arrested.

So it was very strict with the discrimination. But he controlled it with his brain. In the form of if you said against him or the party, then you're done. And he started to get power sick. And he was like, Kuwait is ours. Iran is going to fuck us over. So we have to... So it's a paradox that for the whole country, Iraq is much more unstable now than it was during the 80s.

This is not unique, you see this more often. Of course, power corrupts power. If you sit on power for too long, you get crazy and you get cadaf. I mean, Kaddafi too, except that I know... You could say that Saddam was a horrible person who wanted full power and control. My point was not that, but for many... You have seen through the story, he tried to circus the people... Hitler was good for his white, blonde Germans, but he hated and killed everyone. It was completely different in the beginning. It was the same, now this is a story on a lower level, but we see some red threads. And Berlin, in the same way as Baghdad, there were very few who didn't have a lot of shit there.

Berlin had the news, cool. There were very few people who didn't have a lot of money. Berlin was very new and cool. They had a lot of money, and their living standards were fantastic. The jazz clubs were liberal, there was a lot of money. And no one complained. In the first onesed, took back some countries, in connection with Russia and things like that. And the other nations were behind, but we can't afford to fight now.

So that was a buffer zone between France and Germany. And then they were allowed to of Czechoslovakia there too. It would have been a bit old German there in the North. They took it and no one complained. There were many Germans who lived there. And then they were driven in and just were carried through parades through Austria there. No problem.

And then it was just a huge fray. Magdgal? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no problem. And then it was just a great old time. How many power-losses? No complaints, but not many. And then he said, don't take France. He said, I'll take France. He said, don't take France. He said, yes, I'll take France. And we can't take France. Yes, but give it to Amphetamine. Take France on what? Seven days. And then he says, look at me now, motherfucker. And then it's just full of people. I think so too. Gaddafi Libya, it was pretty king at the start.

Yes, but also as soon as you are... What is great is that many of the dictators have a... They love their people, and they hate what they see as not being their people. So they want to do a not to be their people. So they will do a lot for their own people. But as soon as you are a little against us, you are totally against us. Gaddafi also had a lot of welfare programs and you can certainly find someone who can point out Gaddafi as a painter, as a hero. And then you have those who are two degrees outside, and they have been tortured and killed.

And that's not what you want to live without, right? You can't have an angelic paradise, a heavenly hellish society. In Norway we can have a lot between heaven and hell. I can say, fuck, Jonas will be bigger when I want. I can't even think about it in Iraq or Gaddafi. As soon as you think about it, Stalin, as soon as you think about it, you're done. But if you, and it says itself, and how unspeculated it has been, you can only speculate, but it is completely impossible to come and take power in that way without being alright at the beginning. Yes, you have to. So he just sat down and said, he was good towards the people, but he was also very aggressive when it came to politics.

He didn't just take a meeting and almost cut it up into a collection and just out with him, out with him, out with him. It's on tape! It's on tape! It's on tape! And it's one of the... For those of you who want to see it, go and watch House of Saddam on HBO, which is a mini-series, which is damn good. But it's also a bit cartoonish, but it's insanely interesting. But he was just... Stalin did it in many ways.

At least Saddam did it. They all started right under the leader. Stalin was party secretary and Saddam Hussein. What they do is that if I come two, it's better than number one. Because number one doesn't have time to think about who I'm going to hire. These tasks are for number two. What does number two do? Number two hires all of his people. So it's much easier for number two to say, my turn motherfucker. And that's what Stalin did. Stalin knew that I only get boring job offers.

But I can now hire whoever I want. I can hire him, him, him, him. And Sad he only got boring job. But I can hire whoever I want. I can hire him, him, him, him. And then he hired only the family. And then he went to the president and said, You have to be a pensioner. And he said, no, I have to. And then he looked around the room and saw his brother-in-law, his half brother, his father-in-law. What should I say? No. No, okay, I'm passionate about it.

You did Hitler and then with Sine, he was vice president, and then with all of his people. So it's just like, you just have to, the number two role is almost the most powerful role. Because you can lead number one, so damn. And therefore he was also afraid, he was afraid of Sine number two, so not giving one too much power. You give all of them around you a little bit of power, so you're still sitting. It's a lot of strength to just calmly position yourself. If you're an intermediate leader, damn, you have so much power! Jesus, if you're sitting there on the bench and you're an intermediate leader, regardless of family, you can just push out your leader.

Just throw him on top there. The intermediate leader. The intermediate leader, who is dangerous. It's in all the companies. If you had chosen three topics, which are the most difficult to think about, and you almost forget the conversation partners, and possibly listeners, and the ethical and moral as well, but you are the dictator of the conversation topic.

You just dig in. You think that you are the dictator of the conversation topic. You are the dictator of the conversation topic. You are the dictator of the conversation topic. dictator, the dictator of the topic of conversation. Just dig, what do you think is the most nice thing to talk about? Dictators? Dictators, yes. Dictators are 100 percent.

How, how, oh fuck, I mean, how to think of creativity? Oh yes, okay, how, yes, just talk about... Talk about how to create things. Yes. Talk about how you create things. Talk about art. But in a way that is not like, this picture says, but how you come to art. And the third is flying, Asper. Flying? I love flying. Are you a flight attendant?

I had flight anxiety for many, many years. I didn't fly for many, many years. I forced myself to fly. Now I love to track what kind of flight I fly. Which flight it is, where it has been before, who... I have the flight app on my phone, I know exactly where it is. I check turbulence levels on the way, the direction, check which... But is it just to relax yourself? It started like that. Now I think it's very exciting. You can do a lot of...

The physics behind it, is it good at it? I understand, what stuff can you try to explain to me? Because you have speed, great speed, great speed, great speed, wings, and then there is something crazy in physics that makes you just... Now it's like this, now it's flying up here. Because you use your flaps. Flaps, yes. Flaps, again, I may sound stupid, but it's about the air pressure above and below the wing.

It's completely stupid to sit on a Boeing 747, I did it once. You know, the one with the little cup, the one that Air Force One is, the one with the little cup, the Air Force One, the one with the small cup in front, which is actually out of service now, not Air Force One, but the 24-24 planes in general, very few use them, but I sat in one of those from L.A. at one point, and there are two floors just in front, and I thought, how the hell? Yes, that's so damn weird. You drive slower than a Formula 1 car? And you fly to heaven? Yeah.

No, I don't buy it. No, but I... It's a conspiration. But I have... And there are a lot of people who are anxious, because they don't understand why the fuck this is supposed to happen. But I... I've never had anxiety about flying,

because I just... I'd rather rely on statistics. Yeah, yeah. I don't understand this. But it's obvious of the anxiety for flying, I just prefer to rely on the statistics. I don't understand this. But it's obvious that it's going very, very well. My favorite plane name is Fokker. Fokker? Fokker. F-O-K-K-R. It's a Dutch plane. We had some Fokkers in Vidrø. Yes, there were some Fokkers there. I think they have stopped using Fokkers. Yes, now they have stopped using them. But there are no more fuckers there.

But as a rule, the small planes are fuckers. They are a bit smaller, because they are not so big as you see them. Yes, but I think it's a bit bad with these propelled planes. Because then it doesn't just hold with the pressure up and down. Then he has to have a propeller in addition. I think it's exciting to have one propeller, you have one engine to lean on. You have a propeller in front of you, and then you have something on the wings, and there are different types. No, but as a rule, single engine, just one propeller. I live a little on the statistics, but I refuse, because a normal passenger plane has two.

You can fly pretty far with just one. You can even light with one engine. Stop it now. Is the propeller in front of the plane, as you have seen, the engine? It's the engine. What? Is that the problem? It's the engine. Oh, hell. I thought it was just an extra thing. Is that the engine? The propeller is in there. When you see a plane with propeller on the tip, on the nose. And the nose, inside the nose, the body, that's the engine.

Oh, damn. Where did you think the engine was? I thought it was an extra engine. You thought it was an extra engine? No, I didn't. If you have one, the two further planes, there you have an engine on each side, that's fine. That's the engine. But you have the engine in front there you, in the bottom, like a car.

I can't connect it, it's the same as jet engines. It's a bit propellant. Yes, the jet engines are just less effective. Yes, damn, they suck. What's your favorite? Do you think there will be 11 planes? Yes, but it's too heavy. It's carrying a heavy weight. There have been some test models, but it's too slow. And there are a lot of enemies, but it's not optimal yet.

Why don't we have more electric trucks and electric boats? I want electric helicopters. I want electric helicopters. Electric boats are the ones that are down. Drones? I want a helicopter. I want a helicopter, motherfucker. I want a helicopter, I'm a nose-hunter. Drones? Drones, just heavy-duty drones. Uber, you've started testing me in Dubai and stuff. Uber, just fly from city to city,

and it's two fucking minutes of shit in traffic. I'm a short-tempered idiot. One thing that irritates me a lot, is when politicians and everyone talks about that we shouldn't build roads, because we are not going to damage the environment. We already have electric cars. It's only two days left. We have electric trucks and everything. We are ready to build roads. Imagine how many roads we need. That's what saves us. Tesla has an electric truck. They have this big new thing, but it's just a hell of a job.

But at least in the other parts of the world, where it's drier than the sun, so it's rarely raining. So just like in the sun, just hit on a solar cell, just full-packed truck with solar panels. You know what? Or I can't stand that. I can't stand that. I don't know anything! I don't know anything! This is my wish for the world.

You know, when Covid came, everyone got a pod and got the damn vaccine now. It was three months out we've had it. I really think the world should have a world dictator who says we should solve one problem every year, and we should push every country to put in so many millions of national products into that box, so next time I say fix a better battery,

you've had a year on you. This is what Trump does, and he has actually managed to get more NATO... He did it with... He called it Project Warp Speed. It's the coolest thing. For example, Americans with their call names on things. Project Warp Speed, which was your vaccine program, how cool is that? We call it, what do we call it in Norway? Project Trollgutt and such bullshit like that. Project Warspeed. I actually saw a list of all the names that have been on the presidents, because they have such code names. Eagle, snow, so everything, everyone everyone is happy of course. You know what we have in Norway when politicians are going to ask each other about things, and talk about things, do you know what it's called?

The question time in Stortinget. The question time, in the US it's called gerrymandering, and project warp speed and such. In Norway it's like, every Tuesday it's the question time in Stortinget. I had worked on a stand-up bit on this, how damn simple and simple and tight the Norwegian language is. It's a very young language, we've had the biggest empire in the world. And people from all over the world have come in and been influenced by it. It has a completely different complexity in it. But I feel that a lot of Norwegian words are like that. You have just called it what you have seen.

I have seen a father and son walking past a wavy tree. And the son says, what is this? What is this? And the father says, I really don't know, I have to say, it's root wavy. Are you talking about that? Root wavy. Root wavy. When the root is wavy. Root wavy. USA?

Project Warps. Wall painting. Everything is like that. It's real. What we see is... That one. That one. Where are we?

Let's see. Oh, hell no. We're good. I can't relax. There's so much. There's actually a lot. We're rolling in. There's a lot.

Do you have anything on your heart? I don't have much There is so much. Now there is actually a lot. It's a lot of work. Do you have anything on your heart? I don't have much more on my heart. I was just sitting and talking about it. I longed to sit with it. Are you going to play anything else? Show your show? No, I'm done. Are you done? That's why it was so nice that I took the trip, because it was, in a way,

and you played at the same time as me when I was in Njø the last time. I didn't get to see it. Then you got the worst. And then you got to see it. And I'm very proud of it. I love that I was in Njø to watch your show. And the first thing that happens is that I see two guys who are being dragged after the fight out of a vector.

And then I go further in and and I was there for 5 minutes, and I saw two other guys who were coming out, and they were saying, Oh shit, what a day! There were people who were snuggling on stage, and God knows what. It was that day, when I filmed for the second time. I filmed on Thursday, and then I filmed on Saturday. And that Saturday was the last time I played the show. Yes.

No, it wasn't the last time I played it. Then we were going to film it. And I have never seen an audience that is more annoying. I mean... Yes, but it was that. It fell on stage. It was a bit exciting on stage. It fell around. If it doesn't get in the way? You can blur their faces.

We said it after the movie. And Arlond was with me, he was with you and me. Norway's best actor. Norway's best number two. He is dangerous. He is dangerous. He is the best for Arlond Ferdus. He is life-threatening. He is positioning himself now. He should be number two for everyone.

I bet his whole audience. There's no way to make it so obvious that it's being filmed. Are we ready for it? Are we ready to give it a little extra focus? Yes, we're ready! For a wedding! For a wedding! But on the other hand, my show is called Laavkultur, and I have wanted that club feeling. I like being best on the smaller stages, I like being best without structure, that everything can happen. I'm very happy with that. So this is going to be a special, and I think it's very valuable to have that chaos day, and that very calm day that was Thursday, and cut in between.

Because then there will be a cross-cut between two shows, and then we can take the best from two worlds there, and then it can be a very authentic stand-up show. But I don't know where it will be? No, I don't know anything yet. I have a pen now, and we have filmed it, and it's lying there, and then I will, after every show, when I can, you get tired of the show, right? Yes. And when you have done so much, and it's just that, and then you have to go through it once before you start.

And I always do that, but I'm like a little boy when I'm doing it, like just, ah, boring, ah. And practice it. I feel like a child sitting at the dinner table, getting tired, and playing. Then you eat this, and then you can go. I feel so sad there. That's how it feels. And I keep on putting it off. But it's a bit like the feeling, I'm very happy and proud of the show, but to go through it, over and over again, to look at the show several times again now, and pick out which part is best here, which part is best here, it's a bit of waiting, I'm a bit exhausted.

I couldn't do that. I don't like to look at myself on the screen. I'm pretty fresh, as you say, and I can't see or hear myself stand up. I can't. I've got sound recordings from several of the shows just to hear through. I can't. Even the TV series I'm in, I can't watch it. I was a bit like that before, but I've just waited a bit for it. I think it's okay now.

If you want it exactly as you want it, you have to do it. Yes, that's true. You have to beat yourself. I would rather not have done it. I think I just do it for myself. But I have a feeling that I should do it myself. You should have someone you trust who does the first round, and get the rough cut as much as possible, and then you go in. Maybe I will. Maybe you will. Inshallah. We... I have to go, and I am so damn hungry now.

Go eat, then go wash clothes. A joy, is that it? That's how life is. I like that. But it's nice, but I don't have... I like washing clothes. I like washing machines. I don't have a washing machine, because I'm driving in the red.

No, I have to go to the red. Back in the red. Yes, you are in the red. Back in the red. But you are cool like that. I feel like I'm in New York. Because it's a laundry mat. With a donkey on it, right? I have a laundry mat. Clean Cocos.

It's a cool New York laundry mat. With lots of dry drums and washing machines. I go in there, put some money on it, sit down, read a little of the magazine, and then I feel really New York. That's how you get the material, that's how you get your experiences. If you are always going to drive your car from A to B, instead of the bus, if you are always going to wash your clothes at home, you don't meet the people. You don't have the life you come here, I can say that.

Inshallah. Thanks for listening and have a brilliant day. Bye. The the the the the the
