N- Yeah, that’s a good start. -U- -Y- -S- -A- -N- -C- -E Is that not correct? Nuisance. -N-U- Did you say the letter, “I”? or, “Y”? No, “I”. That’s a, “W”. “I”, okay -that’s correct. I thought you said, “Y”.
-I got it? Yeah that’s right. Do we want to save do you want to save the char- No, the pretzel and thing came there. Do you want to wait to like intro that? That’s up to you. Do you want it now or? I mean are you trying to touch that? Yeah we’re trying to touch- Yeah. It can’t be back there without- No! Oh yeah. Oh my goodness. Wow. You know it’s crazy. They think this is like Norwegian cuisine. And this is like German. Can you relate to this? -I’m seeing,
-Not really. things of the schnitzel variety. We have a sausage. Do you call it a schnitzel? No, we call it poser. -What?
-Poser? -Poser?
-Poser. Yeah, let’s try this. Am I seeing cranberries in there? What am I seeing? -Tell you what,
-I’m seeing some green stuff. No, I use my hands. That’s nice. That’s got personality. What is that, a kraut? Some type of kraut? This is German because we’re in Germantown. Why is it called Germantown? I think you got me dead to rights there, I don’t know anything. -I was about to go somewhere,
-Sorry, about that. with that. Sorry this pretzel is like a snake. It’s the biggest one i’ve seen. How do you? Oh, I kind of like what they’re doing here. It’s hot. Be careful. Are you a cheese guy or a mustard guy? Cheese. Cheese. We’ll do both. I love cheese. We’ll do both. I sleepwalk when I cheese though. Say that again. I sleepwalk, a lot if I If I have cheese. The Norwegian people will know this. It’s like a thing, in Norway, for me. I don’t think Norwegian people do it. I do though, a lot before. Have you seen someone about this? Like getting help? Just the help I get now. You got help for me? I don’t know how to help. Or how helpful I’ll be but. Did you try it? Let’s dip it. Eddi what do you mean? When you eat cheese? So tonight, if I have a lot of cheddar and cheese, Specifically cheddar? No, but, like, stronger cheeses. Stronger than cheddar. It’s a weak cheese. -Cheddar caught a body.
-I might see some stuff tonight. Wait a second. This is like, right off the bat this is gold I don’t know, this is amazing conent. I thought I was going to leave this behind in Norway, but we’re here now. Hold on. What is a stronger cheese? Like a Norwegian cheese? The one with the mold on it. Blue cheese. Blue cheese, okay. That’s a strong cheese. People would agree with that. But, any cheese would make me. Active, at night. I can tell by the look in your eyes. You’re not gonna- Do you remember? Oh, yeah. Like I’m awake. So does that count? I’m awake, but. Then it’s not sleepwalking. No, but. It’s just you get weird after you eat cheese. You’re just you’re still awake. Yeah, but I can’t stop it. So you go to sleep, and then this happens? Say, if I’m going to sleep, I take my t-shirt off and just throw it. Yeah. If I wake up in the middle of the night and see it, it looks like a demon or a monster. It seems like we’re talking about mental health and mental illness. Not sleepwalking. And there was one time I was rooming like in Norway at my old team, and I woke up, had a lot of cheese at dinner. Buffet. There were two beds, and I woke up and I was going to the toilet. But I couldn’t just go past this bed because in my cheesy mind, cheesy mind, he was -Cheesy mind.
-He was, pointing a gun. Yeah. Right directly that way, so. And he woke up because I was making noise and I was crawling under the bed toilet, and crawled back again. And then when I wake up in the morning, I remember doing that. But, let’s move on. No, because Ed I can’t. I’m fine. I’m not usually I am, I’m stumped right now. I’m fine. As long as you believe that, I think that’s the only thing that matters. I’m fine. That’s fine. Just got to avoid cheese sometimes. But when you get served like this, I can’t stop myself. We should just keep, I don’t know how much battery these cameras have, but let’s just get this cheese in Eddi, and let’s wait till nighttime, and see. Just see what happens. I’ve seen this show before. You have? Of course, I saw it before I came here. Oh, did you do? -Who’d you watch?
-Who did you have last year? Did you have Taylor last year? Jack? Two years ago, Taylor I think. That episode. You had Jack on? Jack, he ends up involved in every episode, like. He told me that before. If you want to make fun of Jack, this is a safe space. I promise him I was- You wouldn’t. I wouldn’t, yeah. Give the proper pronunciation of your full name. You want it in Norwegian as a Norwegian would say it first? Give me how the Norwegian would say the Norwegian version. And then how you expect people in America to say it. -Go ahead.
-Okay. In Norwegian. Yeah. Edvard Sandvik Tagseth. Eddi. Eddi Tagseth. -Okay.
-Got that? -Yep.
-English. I would not expect them to say Sandvik, -Is that a middle name?
-but if they want. Yeah, it’s my mom’s last name, basically. Okay. Middle name. Eddi Tagseth. Like Tagseth you could say in an American way. People don’t have trouble with that. But they struggle with the Edward, So would like people would you get freaked out or, like, offended if someone walked up and was like, Edvard? -Because that’s like,
-Yeah. Like, yeah, like, Not freaked out, but -like if someone I don’t know well
-just say Eddi. hits me with like, Daniel I’m like take a hike. I have no idea what you’re saying at the beginning of that. Can you say it in Norwegian? Remember that? No. No, I can fake a lot of accents. I feel like I cannot do Norwegian, because your English is too good. Thank you. I don’t get like, like you’re not struggling. That’s usually how I like pick up on accents. I see someone struggling to speak English. I’m like, oh. What’s the capital of Tennessee? Knoxville? Cut it out If it’s- I want to get this right. It’s not Nashville, obviously, is it? -Want to know what’s crazy,
-What is it? I had to Google it in my car to be sure before I Okay, because I thought it was, I thought it was Knoxville too. -Yeah.
-Yeah? It’s not? Yeah, I don’t know. What is it? It’s Nashville. Here’s the portion of the show when they leak who my next guest is going to be. People submit questions so I, I have to like, take the top results and just get through a couple of them. People are like, oh, ask him this ask him that. For me? For you. Okay. When they were like, oh, we’re gonna have Eddie on, Oh, okay. All the stuff. This is just how they’re written. boy, where you get that wig at? It’s just my hair. It’s just his hair. You heard it here first. That one’s done. One for one. Haven’t cut it since I came here. Is it true you got mistaken for LeAnn Rimes in the Gulch one time? Got a steak? Mistaken for. Leon Rimes? Leon Rimes, yeah. He’s a famous country singer. I’ll have to see a picture of him. I don’t think so. I don’t know. I said LeAnn Rimes. I didn’t enunciate, that’s my mistake. But I really like Leon Rimes. It’s a lady? Now, I’m not sure. Okay, I really I really wish there was, like, a Leon Rimes. That was a boy, was a man. I feel like I heard of a Leon Rimes, but Leon, not LeAnn? Maybe not. Do you respect the US dollar? Or does it feel like monopoly money to you? I respect it a lot. Yeah? I’m actually in the market of buying, go on. an old hundred dollar note, from Nashville, like 1920 something. So you want an old $100 bill? Yeah, like graded in a frame. What’s graded mean? It’s graded if, for example, -I know grated cheese but don’t wantot freak you out.
-Pokemon cards, if you pull a, good Pokemon card. Graded. -Graded, not grated.
-No, not grated. Grated. You can grate cheese. I know you don’t. But graded, so it says like near mint. Near mint condition. I don’t have to have that but, six, seven out of ten. Wait a six, seven out of ten? Like grade. Ten is like a perfect looking bill. So when money, I’m learning about U.S. currency here. When money comes out of like the mint and it hasn’t been used. Hasn’t been touched. -That is ten.
-That’s mint. -Mint is ten.
-Gem mint. What causes it to downgrade? Obviously use. Yeah, just wear and tear. This sounds like buying use golf balls I get it. Is that not good. No it’s great. Same thing. Yeah. Okay they said I know you’re mean, They said I mean though in the comment? I know you’re mean, dude you’re the abuser, yeah. Norwegian abuser? Norwegian abuser, you bully. Did you ever play an instrument? I have a harmonica at home. Yeah? I know one one song or 10 seconds. Of a song? Piano Man, Billy Joel. -No way.
-Yeah. Easy. It’s very easy. I should have brought it. Back in the old days, one of these people would have a harmonica on him, and we will put you on the spot. That’s a safe skill to say. I think I could do it on the spot. Oh, here’s something you can get out in front of. Did you ever we kind of talked about did you ever have any weird pets growing up in Norway? You can talk about the lambs. You can talk about the lambs a little bit. Two lambs. What were their names? Barbie and Cue. Barbie and Cue. Was that to be like barbecue? Yes. That’s kind of dark. We got them. My dad got them for, Can I even say some kind of payment? Yeah, yes you can. Or like he he did, he did something neighbor or someone a favor. And this is like a storybook. He had a couple lambs that he could give away. I’ve never met anyone that’s done that. No. It’s an honor. I’m blown away. Like you hear about people like, oh, I’ll trade you your most beautiful daughter for this cow. Yeah. But you really did that. Your dad really did that. Oh, yeah. So where’s your sister now? She’s, happy somewhere. She got the two lambs. She wasn’t part of the trade. No, she wasn’t okay. She wasn’t. Japanese toys. What’s your interest level on like a scale of 2 to 4? 2 to 4? Yeah. It’s gonna be four. Four, that’s high. You don’t give me a lot of -Nah, I gave you some.
-wiggle room. What do you mean? I gave you 2 to 4. So it’s either not interested. Relatively speaking, this is the most interested you could be. You gave a 4. Yeah four. Pokemon cards you mean. -Yes, Specifically.
-Yes. Very interested in Pokemon cards. How did this begin? You clearly had a lot of friends growing up. And all of you were doing this. It wasn’t like you doing it by yourself because you had no friends. I feel alone now. Okay, yeah. -Okay, okay.
-When I’m older. Because you’re still doing it. Yeah, because I didn’t stop. September, it’s a trade night going on. -Trade night?
-I’ll take my binder, -Here in Nashville?
-Yes. -That’s exciting.
-See you there. That’s exciting. -You’ve gotta be excited.
-So I’ll look for some good trades. I’m excited because we’re always away when it happens. How many have there been here? Every month. -Get the,
-Yeah. -There’s a,
-Once a month. Pokemon trading night? Yeah. Where? -At your house? Your apartment.
-Pretty cool cards, probably. Nolensville. It changes every time, or it’s the same spot? Oh, it’s the store I go to buy my cards. It’s Pretty Cool Cards. You want to shout them out? Pretty Cool Cards. No, the name of the store? It’s called pretty cool cards. I like Pokemon too, -but we’re talking about where you do it.
-It is pretty cool. That’s the name. In Nolensville. -Okay.
-Great store. But like after, will you, you’re choosing violence right now, dude. That’s crazy. You gave the whole thing and then you’re just gonna grab a little piece of it. I’ll go to the loony bin with you, brother. Come on. Come on. Here we go. We keep that in? They decide. Listen, we don’t decide, they decide. That’s the beauty of it. Favorite thing about Nashville so far? And least favorite thing? The heat, least favorite. Fair. Amen, brother. I just like the city. Just lots of restaurants. Nice people. That’s a good one, that’s good. I get it. -Also, you’re still early.
-What’s your favorite thing, -About Nashville?
-about Nashville? The food scene’s really surprised me. Big time, like big time. The food really surprised me. Yeah, not that I thought anything bad was going on. Let the record show. But it’s just been like pop pop pop pop pop pop pop. That’s the new places opening up noise. Is there a difference? Because when I lived in Canada, there was a big difference between Canadian Netflix and American Netflix. Is there a big difference? Got to be right? American is so much better. So what are you like now having access to that you’re watching that, you’re like, this is what I was missing. This is sick. Happy Gilmore Two, probably still not coming out in Norway. -You don’t think?
-I don’t think so. Dude. Adam Sandler is super popular in Norway everyone knows that. -Gotta be.
-Yeah. Is golf poopular? Oh, yeah. Hovland. Come on. Hovland. Viktor. Viktor. Yeah. Viktor! It’s crazy golf and like running, Is that popular here? Like running, like ten miles. Just running. Normal people just start running and then they have Strava. I would say I know that it’s common. I wouldn’t call anyone going out and running ten miles. I don’t think that’s normal. I’m not willing to, like, normalize that. That sounds crazy to me. You know, people in Norway, -Respect, respect.
-they pay, like older people pay fit young people to log on -We don’t gotta talk about that
-to their Strava, Oh, what do they do? Log on to this, I thought you’re going somewhere else. I don’t know what Strava is. Oh, it’s a running app. Okay. And then you just see how far and where you ran. But older people give the account to young people to run for them so they can brag about it, on Strava. This is like a big national conspiracy. It’s true. I believe that. Isn’t that crazy? Is that like the most dishonest thing that goes on in Norway? -Really?
-Yeah. That’s a big deal? -Old people walking around like,
-They pay like, I ran 10k today. Yeah, pay 50 bucks. You would have made a killing on that, brother. That would’ve been better than Uber for you. You’d have been the talk of the town for those old people, trying to lie. That’s crazy. I think Americans don’t care about that. In some circles sure, but, that happening across the board in Norway is pretty nuts. Prior to coming here, who on the team did you like know the most about or like had any experience playing with, against, friends, buddies? Yazbek. Tough, okay. Played against. Maybe 4 or 5 times. And he was a, -Yeah.
-Honestly. Sorry Patty. Also such a nice guy though, now. You don’t have to say that. feel like I had to say that. I know, It was like, if we played like, if I played 4-3-3 both teams, he would be on my side of the midfield, like playing against each other. And we would just try and smash each other. He probably didn’t like me either, though. I find it that anytime I have like a real issue with a guy on another team, Yeah, in a game they usually end up on the team. next to you. Yeah. And you just gotta squash it. Yeah, then it’s done. Then you’re good. Other than that, only, like I watched every YouTube video. Of us? Yeah. We’re sick on YouTube. Yeah. So I it would have been fun if I wrote down, like, what do I think they’re going to be like? -and then checked it.
-and then, and then check. What’d you think about your host? Because when you watch a team, like the left back, it just jumps out at you right away. That’s the first thing you notice, typically. -I know.
-You were the first guy I saw. Oh my God. I know. This guy. Yeah. You’re also a lot on YouTube I think. Yeah. You and Taylor I’m big on YouTube. I’m big on YouTube, dude. In reality, if you had to join a circus and you had to be the top earning tent. Given your natural ability, what are you going to do? It could be, Eat cheese, sleep. -Eat, that’s actually it.
-See where it takes me. Just eat the strong cheese and sit there and see what happens. And everyone’s got to stick around till nighttime when you fall asleep. -And then just see how weird it gets.
-It will be a nighttime circus. I’m doing my driver’s license test. When? It’s going to be in, next week. Doing it, And it’s going to be in miles and stuff. Yeah, but the thing has kilometers underneath it. Is it? Every car. Yeah, but on the test. Oh no, written test. The written test. I’m not driving. Just have a calculator. Calculator? Every time I have to do the, Or you just memorize the stuff. One mile is 1.6km. There you go. Just do that in your head. All you have to do to pass that test -Slow down where there are children. Where are there children?
-Where’s the cheese dip? -Brother that is, are away from you as possible.
-Why did you put the cheese far away from me? Actually it’s cheddar, you can live a little, go on. You really threw me with all the cheese stuff. You got to get in there. It’s gonna make me crazy. You gotta tell it who it is. Oh, yeah. Now I’m getting over it. Now cheddar is safe. I just get this crazy, like, oh, no, every time you start to do, like, a cheese thing. But I’m awake. I’m not sure if you know you’re sleeping or not. You’re safe tonight. I know that. I’m gonna lock all my doors. It doesn’t sound like you’re really solid yet on, like, if you’re asleep or not, because you’re remembering it. What is it called though when you’re, Sleepwalking. Yeah. But the true definition I don’t think those people remember what they’re doing. Yeah. So what’s, -you could just be wake up
-my thing called? and you’re tired. Nah nah nah nah. Sleep paral- powerless. What is it, sleep? No you have the opposite of sleep paralysis. Sleep paralysis is -when you can’t move.
-Oh that’s when you’re stuck. You’re stuck. But your mind is, like, totally awake. -You are,
-I’m opposite. so active and creative with what the situation is. But your body is going places. Of the guys on the team who, if you woke up with, and your closets had been totally swapped, would you be the most upset? Most upset? Most upset. And for a whole year you have to be in these clothes. That would be the easy answer. Go ahead. Jeisson. Imagine? His gold necklace would go down to here. Yeah, but I think you level up in a way. No, don’t say that. The white crocs. What if it, what if all of it fits you, though? Actually, no, no, no. has to be consistent. I can’t fit. It’s his size. his size as well. Is it just because the size discrepancy would be, like, crazy, or it be because you don’t like his choice? -It’s hard to pull off, dude I’ve seen some stuff.
-He nails it. Yeah, but like, -different animals.
-For me, skinny pants and I don’t know what he’s wearing. The footwear I’m good with. Yeah, footwear is fine. I’m wearing, He wears a lot of sleeveless stuff. That’s tough for me. Tough for me also. He wears a lot of coordinated top and bottom. Yeah. It’s one color. That’s tough for me. Same pattern. Jacob told me I like to sandwich. Do you know what sandwich is with your outfit? Yeah. Go ahead, explain to the people. So, white, black. This is black. Okay, this is black, for example. Yeah, but if you’re going to say something. That’s not black, it’s gray. -Guys.
-Isn’t it? -The light,
-It’s the cheese. That’s gray. One dip of this, he’s calling this a gray shirt. I don’t know. Does it look gray? It’s black, dude. Help me out here boys. You’ve got gray shorts on. Okay. -Yeah, that’s a W for me.
-It’s not black though. All right, black, white, black. That’s a sandwich. Sandwich, okay. Now that people know. All right, so, Jeisson. That’s a tough answer. -I hope you tell that to his face.
-What was your answer? Can’t say Jeisson. It used to be a no brainer, Jack. Yeah? He’s stepped it up. Yeah, he stepped it up. Shouts to Sophie. Hany, sometimes. Yeah. Yeah, because, it would be tight. He experiments. It would be tight. He’s wearing things around his neck. He’s wearing things, I don’t think in good- and like, you saw what I did earlier with the ice cube. Or maybe you didn’t see it. I can’t. His stuff is so expensive. I feel like it all is, like, very nice. He’s got, like, Norwegian lamb shorts on and, like. That’s for him. -That’s for him.
-Not for us. All right so, Hany, no offense, I just, I can’t do it. All right, this is the last one I have. If you had to play goalie for a game. What would the highlights of the game look like? And how would you do? Like, in general. it would be a lot of, shots from the opposition. You can’t control that. You’re just a goalie. Oh you think they’re going to look and see you and just start shooting? I would think they would say, look at that guy. Let’s put this guy under pressure right here. Alright. A lot of long throws. -You’re going to long throw it? With two hands?
-Oh for me, my highlights? Yes! If you had to play goalie you’re the goalie. We play like I go up in the center, -Yeah.
-center back. -Sweeper!
-Get the other center backs, -Sweeper keeper
-Yeah, I’ll be a sweeper. -How like, realistically,
-I have played a goalkeeper. but I was 12. Okay. And I got an assist. Off a punt? Dribble. So you guys were like winning like six, nothing and they’re like oh put Eddi in goal. Yeah. And you were like, and just started dribbling everywhere. Yeah something told me, I knew. I had a good feeling that’s what happened. I keep seeing these baseball guys walk by. Do you know who the Savannah bananas are? Yes. Is it true -that you tried out for that team?
-What is that? No. Are you sure? I’m not having that. -I saw a video clip
-What is that? Is it a real team? I don’t, They’re just, like, entertaining, right? I know I’m not confident in my ability to describe what goes on, but I know I see a lot of there’s a big uptick in middle aged ladies fandom. Yeah. Of baseball as a result. I don’t like them. -And guess what?
-I’m saying that. You can say that. I’m saying it. -You can say it!
-I don’t like the Banana’s They don’t play here. Do you know the name of the team that does play here? Sounds. Yeah! I like the Sounds. He loves the Sounds. Thank you guys for watching.
