You may wonder why I stand here in the "Bäst i Test" studio.
It's Friday, and I welcome you to the weekend's best entertainment-
-which is "Bäst i Test."
And here come the test pilots who are spinning in orbit this season.
The victor from Venus, Gina Dirawi!
The prankster from Pluto, Alfred Svensson!
The slick one from Saturn, Olle Sarri!
The maestro from Mars, Christine Meltzer!
And the joker from Jupiter, Jan Rippe!
And tonight you will, among other things, see this!
-Eye. -I've shaved my arms for this.
-There's a rat-thumb in my bed. -Is that true?
-Hello, all my friends. -I am the power!
-Green. -Butt!
Yes indeed! Hello, gang. Rippe, how have you prepared for tonight?
I have been at high altitude. I am going for it now.
-Carbohydrate-loaded? -Yes, porridge and such.
Olle, was it as you had imagined when you said yes?
I usually don't get embarrassed that much, normally.
But when we sit here on the couch, I am quite embarrassed.
But I rejoice with the others.
Gina, you had trouble with grunting, farting, and whistling. Can we hear it now?
That was really good. Nice one!
And always by my side, a stowaway who never gets off.
Here is David Sundin!
Wow! Thanks, thanks. Nice words, Babben.
I am with you all the way until the end, you know that.
Yes, we will take the bad news later. Start tonight's first test.
It's about going from words to action.
-Hi! -Yes?
-Mr. Potter. -Oops.
Well...?
Well, there.
"Do as many different things as possible in 100 seconds."
"Only things that are on the board..."
"...before the test, before the test..."
"...before the start of the test counts."
"You get one point for each thing you do."
"And five minus points for each thing you don't do."
"You get zero points..."
"You get zero points for each thing that another participant does."
Ten minutes? Wait. Wait, wait, wait.
No, I didn't say that. I understand nothing.
-I just do. -Here it comes.
-Poke David's cheek. -Poke David's cheek?
-Write words, then? -Things you can do.
Things you can do?
-That YOU should do. -That I should do?
Should I go through the whole alphabet? Just copy. A, B, C, D...
Stick out your tongue.
I'll focus on that tree. I will throw different things at it.
-Bowl a little. -Just bowl a little?
-Dig. -Bowl a little, dig a little.
Stop!
Do a cowboy salute.
-Sing a line. -What can it be?
-A drinking song. -A drinking song maybe?
-Trying to think of easy things. Bowling. -Throw bowling balls?
-Brick. -Fake shot.
How do you differentiate between a fake shot and fake mouthwash?
-And I'll flirt at the same time. -Then it's two flies in one swat.
God, I'm a genius.
Yes, here it was important not to take on more than one can handle.
Not to reach for too much, and similar expressions.
One should write down what one would do, and then one should do it.
One gets one point for each thing one does.
But if one doesn't manage to do a thing, then one gets five minus points per thing.
And who completes their commitments first here?
Listen to this. It's interesting. Everyone except Gina.
That's interesting.
Then it's 100 seconds from now.
Gravel. Done.
Blink with the left eye. Stick out the tongue. The nose.
Touch cheek, touch nose.
Gas mask.
-There. Wham! -It didn't hit.
But who cares, then.
Stomp on a tooth.
Walk on knees in a circle.
The socks. Drink water? That was silly.
It was a hit, and it landed in the tree.
-So. -Oh!
-Say hello to David. -Hello there!
-Are you well? -Yes, thanks. That's enough now.
-There are 50 seconds left. -Okay, now it was here... So.
♪ The whole goes, sing hop fatherallan lallan lay! ♪ ["Helan går"]
Draw a poop sausage.
♪ The whole goes, sing hop fatherallan lay! ♪
♪ And the one who doesn't take the whole, he also doesn't get the half! ♪
-♪ Sing hop fatherallan lay! ♪ -Watch out down there!
I can take the gas mask too.
Hi there, Babben. Hello, all my friends.
-Show the belly. -There are only 30 seconds left. Ah!
Pretend to rinse mouthwash.
Yes, I spit too.
-I... -Oh! Up!
-Oh! -15 seconds left.
Pin? Hit. Hit... Hit.
-I will fetch water. -Scratch your arm.
-Pretend to take a shot. No! -That looked like mouthwash.
Macarena!
-How long do I have left? -Five, four, three, two, one.
-Zero! -I got that one. But it was...
-It was in the air, David. -It was after. -It was in the air!
-But you managed everything. -Is it done? Thanks!
Alfred, what we didn't manage was:
Weapons, colander, crutch, rake, giraffe, and car.
-Oh? -Some minus points, many plus points.
-Do I get five for each? -One point.
What had the poor tree done? You focused completely on it.
I wrote down too many things.
I thought I got minus 1 for each missed item on the list.
-But I will get total minus. -It's leaning that way.
Christine, what is the difference between taking shots and mouthwash?
Well, one should be gargled and spat out. The mouthwash.
The shot should just...
But you can also do like this with a shot.
-A shot has many possibilities. -It was a bit unclear there.
Rippe, it became the classic: a bit of singing, a bit of dancing, and a bit of nudity.
Yes, it was a bit of drinking songs. I would have liked to take a shot, too.
-Then it's just Gina left. Exciting. -What is it now, then?
-Now it's coming, Gina. -I love the excitement.
Yes, Gina is indeed a jack of all trades with a plethora of talents.
Whether she will benefit from this, we shall see now.
Your 100 seconds begin now.
Count down: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J...
...K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, Å, Ä, Ö.
David! Gina!
-Throw something. -30 seconds have passed.
Breathe. Have feelings. Live.
Now it's our turn. Sun in mind. But I'm going on my knees!
Complain about something. Damn, how I am tired of this. Scream. Ah! Smile.
Step.
Do a line dance.
There are 40 seconds left.
-There we have it. -A cowboy salute.
Blink, toss your hair, talk.
Throw gravel. Stand on... What?! I've done them all now.
-Ten seconds left. -I'm a fucking king.
Blink, breathe, smile, have feelings.
What can it be? 30-40 items.
Do you see? There is something in here that cannot run.
But can deliver.
Very nicely done. What was your strategy?
I wanted to take this point now. I can't run or throw.
But living. I am good at that.
Everything that one just does as a human, I took that.
How many points do they get?
Yes, let's see. Alfred wrote down 21 things.
Of them, he made 14. He missed seven things.
That gives 35 minus points. He ends up at -21 points.
It would have been better to do nothing.
It would have been much better to do one or no things.
Olle wrote 18 items and made 16. He ends with six points.
Christine wrote down 19 items. Made 18. That becomes 13 points.
Rippe wrote 18 and made 18. That was how one should do it.
Then we have Gina who wrote down 62 things. Most of all.
And then she made 61 and gets a total of 56. Total crush!
-Oh, oh, oh. -Suddenly it happens.
-Finally. -Then it's one point for Alfred.
There are two for Olle. Christine gets three. Rippe gets four.
-But five points go to Gina! -Very good.
What a start, Gina. We will see if you can keep this up in the next test.
A test comes loaded with a kitchen tool, a body part...
-...and a gardening tool. -What is it now?
-Hello! -Hello.
-Should I sit? -Yes.
A new letter? How exciting!
-Just rip open the junk. -Then we will read.
"Take David to any part of the room."
"And subject him to the following:"
"1. Reveal your favorite kitchen tool."
"2. Shout the name of any body part in his face."
"3. Announce a gardening tool..."
"...three times with a funny voice."
"You have three minutes. Your time starts now."
-Any part of this room? -But come here, then. Favorite kitchen tool?
My favorite kitchen tool is the whisk.
-Tongs. Frying tongs. -Fry spatula.
Spoon! I didn't need to shout that.
And then we go here. Come.
"Scream the name of any body part in his face."
-Foot! -Eye!
-Sorry, I'm a little hoarse. -It went well.
-Nose! -It doesn't have to be on the face.
Then we take butt! Butt! Butt!
-Was that three? -No, one.
Oh. Sorry.
"Announce a gardening tool three times with a funny voice."
Rake, rake, rake.
Shovel, shovel, shovel.
Garden shovel, garden shovel, garden shovel!
Was that all?
This was the craziest so far.
-Good job. -Thanks. Then I'm satisfied. Have a nice time!
-Yes, I have to admit. I have questions. -Okay, shoot!
How does one win?
Everything has its logical explanation that comes after a brief pause.
You at home will get a test.
Everyone in the household should send a picture of themselves to someone they like.
The one who gets a response the fastest wins. Your time starts now.
Welcome back.
The participants have chosen kitchen tools, garden tools, and body parts.
So far, it's not really clear why.
But now the test continues in the lab.
There, the things play a crucial role.
Here's the whole gang except Jan Rippe.
-Oops! -Hello there!
Are you thirsty? Then I shall arrange something for you.
Okay.
"Get as much juice in the vase as possible."
-"Only your tool..." -"...body part and your instrument..."
"...may touch the oranges."
"Your time begins at David's signal.
-You chose a kitchen tool. -That's my tool?
-You chose a garden tool. -Oh!
-And a body part that I think...? -The arm. The hand.
Butt! Butt! Butt!
Butt.
-What? -You touch the eye.
-Foot. The nose. -Yes.
No. No! No!
And those are the three things that get to touch the oranges.
-Your time starts now! -That is not doable.
-We don't know that yet. -With the eye?
But only the butt can touch? Only the butt can touch?
-You can take those with your hands. -Really?
-Can I take it like this? -No!
Aha! The butt can touch the oranges. That might not be very helpful.
I can do it this way if I want.
Yes, just start.
-So I can do that. I can, right? -If it is not the nose.
-No, here. A bit of the root maybe. -Eye root?
No!
This should be able to give quite a bit. Right?
-There, yes. That sound is what you want. -Yes!
A bit of juice came out.
-There's no problem. -I didn't say that.
Oops. The vase broke.
Okay, this feels a bit dangerous. So... No, that was close.
We take oranges with the butt.
-There must be a better way. -What is it, then?
-No. -No!
That's right.
-The juice comes here. -We do have some juice.
But what am I doing?! Oh! Oh, I'm so annoyed!
Eye.
Like this... That's right. It's full of oranges.
Like that.
No! What happened now?
-I don't know. -What are you doing?! Dumb in the head.
Like that. It was quite a good catch.
-Do you want liquid? -Juice, yes.
-Seeds? That can happen. -It's not the end of the world.
-Like that. Look! -That's right.
You're so stingy with the aprons, David. Can't we decide that...
It was nothing. It was nothing.
What happens if I accidentally touch an orange?
-If you accidentally kick it? -Yes, but I haven't done that.
-There you go. -No! No.
30 seconds.
-It's a very pure juice. -Yes, and fresh.
Time. If there's something I have, it's time, right?
Five, four, three, two, one, zero!
Lift the whisks.
Get out of the orange bath.
Do you have a little glass, or should this be measured?
We need to measure it first, but it's definitely juice.
It wasn't that bad.
-And I didn't use my butt at all. -A tool was saved.
-Good job. -Thanks! Hope it tastes good.
Yes, Christine. As we saw here, you didn't have much use of the eye.
I thought we should use all three.
No, but as opportunities allow. I saw no pressing of the butt.
Gina, you're on fire tonight. You're sacrificing shoes and everything.
But I took it with my hands. This is my problem.
I do something good, and then I ruin it. So annoying!
A spatula, a spade, and a nose. What did you find most useful, Olle?
-It was the spade. -It was superb.
-Thanks! Thanks, Babben. -You're welcome.
It pressed on. But surely they touched quite freely?
Yes, there were quite a few forbidden body parts in play.
The only one who made it without forbidden touches was Olle-
-who thus places himself in pole position in the test.
-But we haven't seen Rippe yet. -No.
We must first and foremost look at what he chose for tools.
Sit down. Favorite kitchen tool?
Electric whisk. Arm!
Lawnmower.
Lawnmower! Lawnmower!
Your time starts now.
Okay?
Those weren't bad choices after all.
I can't use my hands?
Not with your hands, but with your arms, with the electric whisk and with the lawnmower.
There, yes. One and a half minutes left.
-It’s going to get a bit messy. -60 seconds.
Five, four, three, two, one, zero.
Yes... There you have the juice.
-Great job. -Thanks. Morning and goodbye.
Rippe, you had a golden opportunity there. Where did it go wrong?
It might have been a bit macabre with the lawnmower in there.
But it was quite effective. It made holes in the oranges.
But it was touched with your foot and hand, so we won't go into the amount of juice.
Only Olle stuck to the rules. That makes this easy.
Five to Olle, and zero to the rest.
-Congratulations! -Fun for me.
Absolutely right and correct.
Olle takes the lead here in total, and can win this all.
That would be cool.
-Calm down now. We have many tests left. -We have tons of tests left!
Here comes the next one. Bring out the brushes. For now we are going to paint pictures.
So?
-Huh? Are you the artist? -No.
-It's me. -Hello there! Old...
-Okay? Sure. -Smack!
-I'll read, then. -We usually do that.
-Me and the others. Rarely you. -No.
-I can handle this. I believe in myself. -Yes! For once.
"Get color on the paintings."
"You cannot move the paintings, the wall or the rope."
"You cannot pass the rope."
"Most color on the paintings wins."
"You have one second to do it."
"Your time starts when the first drop of color touches a painting."
Okay, I thought it was from now. But god!
-Yes. -Yes?
-Go! -That doesn't work on me anymore.
No, but now I take my time here.
You can't keep messing with me as much as you want.
Yes, one would thus paint as much as possible on these three paintings-
-that were at an unwanted distance, and it has to go quickly.
All color applied after one second doesn't count.
There probably won't be any classic motifs like landscapes and fruit.
No, it will be a little more modern.
First out to paint as much as possible-
-is Jan "Rippe" Rippe and Olle "Olle" Sarri.
From the moment a drop of color hits any of the paintings, there's one second.
-We will see how many I can hold. -Exactly.
-Now I have all the time in the world. -In principle, yes.
-But then... -One second.
What is this? Are we going to sacrifice a hobby horse?
-Does it have tusks? -Does it?
Is it a stick-mammoth? I've never seen that before.
-One thousand one. -I believe in that.
-Do you know why the mammoths went extinct? -No.
-There were no daddoths. -Aha! I see. Is that true?
It's completely true.
-Nice! -What hand strength.
And I do believe in overhead throws now.
-How would you have done it? -About...
No!
Now I'm not an art critic, but a very fascinating thing-
-is that the yellow looks like it has purposely stayed away from the paintings.
-Except for a little splash there. -Yes.
-A lot of color next to it, you know. -I know. But it also fills in.
-Continuously? -Yes.
Yes, Olle. Stick-mammoth and shovel it became.
It feels like there was a little time between when you threw the first splat-
-and then wiped after with the mammoth.
But one should have some downtime, right? No, perhaps one should not.
No, one should not. Not if you were to judge.
Not if someone gets to judge. Rippe, you played with the bottle squeeze.
Somewhat outstanding results, purely artistically.
Miró was the first I thought of when I saw your three creations here. [Catalan Spanish painter]
That was what I came up with at the moment.
I have a wife who is an artist, but she doesn't use that technique.
-Yet. -No. Exactly!
It could become a family thing. What do we do now?
Now we're going to have a little art pause.
Then we are invited to a vernissage at Gina's, Christine's, and Alfred's.
Welcome back to "Bäst i Test".
We will get as much color as possible on three paintings in just one second.
-Which visual artists will it be now? -I can say this:
Sweden has many skilled female artists-
-like Jenny Nyström, Siri Derkert, and Karin Mamma Andersson.
Now also Gina Dirawi and Christine Meltzer. Here you go.
-Thank you for that! -Yes, indeed.
We keep it simple. Not everything needs to be the biggest deal.
It feels so strange that I have unlimited time.
We can hang out all day, you and I. Fun, right?
I think like this...
-The color? -Whoosh, puff. Just bring it down.
This sound has been heard.
But hey, what do you think about something like this?
A twin size air mattress?
Fill it, get the color and then just...
Oh no, that's not doable. I would have needed more time.
If you had had more time than infinite time?
-How do you feel about the brown? -Mmm... Yes.
-Brown should be included. -Because it gives a little...
-Can I dilute the color with water? -That works fine.
I think this could be worth something with the lovely colors.
-So one has green in the water? -I will make the fireflies' symphony.
-Green and yellow becomes...? -Firefly.
-This feels a bit difficult. -But now we have all the color in a bucket.
-I am ready. -Yes?
Put in!
-No! -Yes, Gina. Come on now!
Now we go!
I am the power!
It's good. It's good. Or?
-I... I mean... -Incredible.
-Is it good? It's good? It's good. -Cool to see.
This painting is still in constant motion.
-It's changing, like we are. -It is painted in real time.
A small dot. That one might be hard to sell.
Well, it has something.
-What do you think of the colors? -It didn't become so colorful.
-No one asked for that. -The darkness, the shadows, the fireflies. -Exactly!
The interesting thing is that I stood here and still didn't manage to hit it.
-Good job. -Thanks! Sell them at a high cost, David.
Yes, it's nice. It makes you think.
Yes, it was throwing with a small bucket here.
Gina, you don't like to throw, but here it was quite good.
It must be all the anger from everything I've missed.
But I didn't hit anything on the others.
-But it turned out really nice. -Yes, it turned out nice. Right?
But I'm missing Alfred's contribution here.
You don’t need to do that much longer. He is coming here with full force.
The first thing one thinks of is to throw a lot of paint.
A bucket maybe. Flap! Or something that explodes.
Paint bazooka.
-Straight onto all the canvases. -Wow!
That was an unfortunate hole. Aren't you going to tape it up?
-With tape? Do you understand what forces? -No, I have no idea about that.
There. I want it a little this way.
-Should we have something behind it too? -I will screw this down.
-You don’t know what force it is. -Do you think it is such force?
Oh, you. You can feel how that tightens!
There it sits. Damn, how it sits!
-It feels very secure. -Yes.
Okay, now I have to settle for this.
This will be good. It will be very good. With a little water. About like this.
-So we take a little of this. Orange. -Yellow is what you call that one.
Now it’s starting to rain. That's ominous.
Now let’s see. Shit, now it’s a real doomsday feeling here.
Then we tip it up like this. You can hold there. Very good.
Sorry. Just hold it there for a while.
-So. -And color.
-Color comes here. -First color!
-Second color! Down carefully. -So... Now it comes.
-One would like to... -Yes.
I'll poke at it a little.
Whoa. What?
Aha! God, how smart.
Do you see? What a hell of a bang.
-Good job. -Shit, I have a memory gap.
Was it when I knocked that it banged?
Then it just turned black. Damn!
When I woke up it looked like this.
Cool pictures! A memory for life.
This one I can imagine bidding on.
-Yes? It will go for a lot. -Good job.
Yes, Alfred. What a hell of a bang. How did you do that?
I mean I'm so damn pleased. It was completely insane.
How did you make it bang? Is it a secret?
I concentrated on chemistry lessons in high school.
-I keep it to myself. -No!
Yes, so you can actually do that.
There was a lot of soda and mint tablets that created a hell of a pressure.
-I created a hell of a pressure. -You did.
We will look at how all the paintings look here just after a second.
Exactly. We have analyzed the paintings and then stopped the time after-
-one second from when the first drop came onto the canvas.
We will look at the three paintings that had the least color on them.
There the second is over, so it will be one point.
Then we take the triptych with the next least color. Which one was it?
We have a clue here from the mammoth.
There the time was up. Then we remember that this one continued to paint for a while.
-But this is how it turned out. -Okay, two points to Olle.
Then we take the paintings that had the third most color on them.
Oh! I recognize that as Gina's beautiful painting.
-You get three points for that. It looks like a drunken bird. -Fantastic!
And here comes the painting that had the second most color on it.
-Or the paintings. -The firefly.
And there came another load, but it's in the air right there.
The black shadow is on its way. That will be four points.
Then we understand that it's time for Alfred's paintings here.
-And his second. Yes, it's going fast. -Oh my god.
Boom, Alfred!
A real color explosion. I reward it with five points.
Then we are done with the art project. What do we have next on our agenda?
It's time for the winged words: Anything can happen, and everything can change.
For now, we have reached the middle of the program with me, David Sundin!
Okay, I'll leave the question open.
Is there anyone among you who can guess what game we will play next? Go!
-It will probably be some quiz crap. -The whispering game?
-It's not the whispering game. -Skip rope?
Skipping rope isn't it. Could it be something that lights up?
-That is also a bit warm. -Light?
-A light that you should...? -Blow out.
What's it called then?
-Turn off the light. -Whose light? ["ljus" = light / candle]
-Is this the game? -Just say it!
-Turn off your light? -Wow, that's so crazy!
That you said it so easily. How fun. We are going to play Turn off your light!
Yes, we are going to play Turn off your light. Gina, can you read this letter?
For your competitors, Babben and those at home of course.
"Extinguish your light with the help of the objects on the table."
"Your objects must not touch your light." Huh?!
"You must not leave or move your marker."
"If your light falls, then you are out of the test."
"The one whose light extinguishes first wins."
"Your time starts at David's signal."
Is there anyone who unexpectedly has any question about this?
-Yes, but I'll keep it inside. -Cool.
-That's good. -Are you ready?
-Yes! -Yes.
Your time starts... Now.
Oh no.
-Alfred's light has gone out! -Should we continue, or?
-Should we continue? -Do it.
-Alfred, how did you do it? -I just waved.
-Olle's light has gone out! -Rippe! No. Yes, now.
-Rippe's light has gone out! -Wave on, Gina. Wave on.
I'm too short! I can't reach!
-I must have this point. -Christine's light...has gone out.
And we don't need to see Gina's light go out.
That's how we play Turn off your light.
How did this go, David? Do you have any numbers to report?
We'll take it in reverse order. That's one point for Gina.
-I got one point? -You deserve that.
Two for Christine, three for Rippe, four for Olle, and five for Alfred.
Fancy, fancy.
We find Rippe in fourth place. With eight points.
In a shared third place, we have Christine and Gina with nine points.
We have Alfred with 11 points and leading is Olle with 13 points.
-Oh! -Thank you.
Now we will take a traditional break.
But when we return, there will be a secret guest.
Stay seated. We'll see you on the other side.
This is "Bäst i Test", and we move on with a mystery test.
More specifically a team test.
We have team A consisting of Gina, Christine, and Olle.
Then we have team B with Alfred, Rippe, and former participant Ellen Bergström.
May the best team win.
-Bonjour! -Hello.
-Hi. -Hello, hello.
-Yes, there we have a popcorn. -A little popcorn?
"Choose a mildly interesting topic."
"As the whole team is exactly equally mildly interested in."
"None of you may be more interested in the topic than anyone else."
"Write down your topic on the paper, and go to the dining room."
-"You have three minutes." -How fun. Mildly interested?
-What do you think about cars? -Yes, like that.
-I am also like that. -Me too.
-What are you mildly interested in? -Popcorn.
Shall we have another snack?
-Two minutes left. -We have time. No time pressure.
Or yes, but quiet.
-Lightly salted chips. -But is it a topic? Yes.
I had that in elementary school.
-Are cars the best we have, or? -No expert, no uninterested.
-Shall we take cars? -How nicely you write.
Have you decided on lightly salted chips?
-See you in the dining room! -Wow.
No, he is just fooling now. Forget the popcorn. Or?
Forget that. No, take it with you. It could mean something.
Yes, we are going to record a podcast! God, how fun, you guys.
-Pop! We are going to make a song. -I don’t think that's the connection.
-Okay. -Now you will get to hear.
"Record a podcast about your topic."
"Your podcast must be 20 minutes long."
"You must not imply that the podcast is part of a test."
"Best podcast wins."
"David will start the recording in 90 seconds."
"Your time starts now."
Yes, one would start a spontaneous podcast-
-on a mildly interesting topic.
So not for the interested, but also not uninteresting.
One team has chosen the broad topic of cars.
The other team has the narrower topic of lightly salted chips.
Spontaneously, I think that these are two podcasts that can be successful.
-Which one do we get to listen to first? -We can’t listen to everything.
We can channel surf a bit in between.
Here come both teams’ podcasts. And the sound technician? Yes, that’s me.
-Enjoy listening! -Oh, oh, oh.
-What is the name of the podcast? -Then there are ten seconds.
Five, four, three, two, one, zero. Please.
Yes, here we sit once again Salt is Everything. This is Gina Dirawi.
-This is Christine Meltzer. -Olle Sarri.
Hello there, and welcome to The Car-Guys and the Car-Girl.
I will go straight to it, then. Have you eaten lightly salted chips since last time?
Yes, I have, and I have a crazy story about this.
-What's your worst road trip ever? -Oh, I know right away.
Well, I woke up yesterday in my bed which was filled with lightly salted chips.
-Is this true? -Yes! And among the chips...
...lay a small, small rat thumb.
-Is this true? -It is 100% truth.
We were going to the Alps, and there is ice on the highway.
I go and drive there, and the car skids, slides off the road.
Ends up upside down in a bog pit.
We got away unscathed.
We had to call a taxi that took us to the airport. Then we flew away!
-Gina called me right afterwards. -Is it true?!
There's a rat thumb in my bed.
-What do you think about varnish? -Varnish?
-We take a vignette for varnish. -I like varnish.
-I don't like this matte. -Polish!
I thought it was a sound effect.
Olle, top 5 dipping sauces.
I think that lightly salted chips... I mean, I can do without.
But what are your five dipping sauces? That's where we want to go.
I am the sauce queen. Green & garlic dip, Garlic dip.
Truffle dip.
-Four minutes left. -Then we are doing the meditation car session.
But before that, you two together have prepared a song. Right?
-Original dip. I mean just basic. -I'll throw in American dip.
What is there? Aioli. Ketchup.
-Chips and ketchup? -Yes, exactly!
-One, two, three. -♪ Cars, cars! ♪
♪ I love them! ♪
♪ Especially the ones that are green! ♪
Nice that you brag about having so many good sauces.
We talked about good sauces in the fridge. Is that what we are talking about?
No, ones that go with lightly salted chips.
-Do you think ketchup does that? -No.
-Good. -Now we only have six.
-Or now we only have six! -How does that work in our podcast?
♪ Cars, cars, we love them! ♪
Oh, what a fantastic car song by our car experts here.
-It took time to write it. -I understand that.
I want to finish the story. I called the police.
They see me lying there among the chips and they say:
"Do you know an Olle Sarri?" Yes.
-Is it true? -This is true!
It's the truest story...
If you sit down now and lean back in the car.
-It sounded like a sound effect again. -And then you breathe in...
The last moment is coming now.
Three quick ones from Alfred. Three quick ones are coming now.
-What happened there? -We are doing meditation!
It was you, and that is why you have hated this story!
Next week when we do the podcast, you will have to answer, Olle.
-Is this true or not?! -100%.
Three, two, one, zero.
-Thank you for listening. Goodbye. -From the Car-Girl!
-And the Car-King. -And the Car-Guy.
-Great job. -God, how good it was!
Yes. God, how good.
I am starting to regret a little that I said this about success.
But you only had topic selection. It was like any podcast.
Gina, Christine, and Olle, how did you fill your 20 minutes?
It's a pity that we don't get to hear all the minutes.
-It was thrilling. One can sense that. -Or maybe riveting.
Sorry. But Rippe and Alfred, how did you experience your recording?
-It went very well. -Do you think so?
You were a bit of a host.
I took on the host role and guided you a little.
We didn't get to see everything. You came up with new tracks all the time.
-New tracks. -Car tracks!
Now we will assess which of these podcasts has the greatest potential.
We have called in one of Sweden's most successful podcasters.
With us on the line from his home in Marbella, Alexander Pärleros!
Hello, Babben! And good day, David!
What a wonderful evening we have tonight and what a great show. Wow!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, Alexander.
-Could we get your points? -Yes, but of course.
I think this way, that "Salt is Everything"-
-and "The Car-Guys and the Car-Girl" are indeed two completely incredible podcasts.
I would preferably like to salt myself in an EPA tractor- [Cars, often for kids, modified for a 30km/h limit]
-and listen for hour after hour. [Cars, often for kids, modified for a 30km/h limit]
-Season after season. -That stands for you.
But which of the podcasts would you give your points to?
It's indeed an incredibly good question. Both are completely fantastic.
"Salt is Everything"? An incredibly strong name.
"The Car-Guys and the Car-Girl" aims at a broader target audience.
So that the podcast that I see has the greatest probability-
-to become most successful in the world is...
The one that is produced by Alfred, Rippe, and Ellen!
Douze points! ["12 points", a common line from Eurovision]
Thank you, Alexander Pärleros for the points from Marbella.
But instead of douze points, it will just be the usual three points to the winning team.
Three points to Alfred and Rippe and of course Ellen Bergström.
-What she is now going to do with the points, it is entirely up to her.
What is it we are competing for tonight?
Oh, oh, oh. It is the premiere episodes of both of these podcasts.
In all imaginable formats. Vinyl, CD, and cassette!
The winner of the evening can listen to the podcasts over and over again.
And for you others who want to listen digitally-
-both of these podcasts are available in their entirety wherever podcasts are found.
-No. -I hope not.
It's for real. Oh, yes.
-Then we'll move on to the next test. -We will.
It is a test that is remarkably good. The fact is that it is goosebumps good.
-Hi. -Hello there.
-Should I sit down? -That works.
Bam! God, how silly that sounds.
Hello, champ!
-Yes, David. Absolutely. -Don't you like "champ"?
I can put you here on my lap, champ.
Now I'm going to read for you and everyone else. "Get goosebumps."
"Or give someone else goosebumps."
"The one who gets goosebumps the fastest wins."
-"You have 20 minutes." -"Your time starts now."
I have them, because I think that it's such an exciting test.
-Can you raise it up a bit? -I can.
-Keep the goosebumps. -I feel that it...
-Is it on the way down? -Or? What do we say?
Yes, one would thus as quickly as possible-
-raise goosebumps on one's own arm or on someone else's arm.
Or any other body part. But the arm is the most common.
I hope it stays there for everyone's common comfort.
And we will start with Olle and Rippe.
-Are you married? -Yes.
Yes, go ahead.
I'm a sports fanatic.
And it should suffice to watch all of Sarah Sjöström's swimming races. [World record Olympic swimmer]
Are you going to watch one of those, then? Fetch the clip.
Should I fetch the clip? I can look in the storage room, then.
-After the clip? -Yes, or do you have it?
You have it on your phone, right?
We were at New Year's Eve at Tivoli in Copenhagen. [amusement park]
-Mhmm. -There they have a cool light show.
Sorry to interrupt. Do we have ice in the fridge?
-It's usually in the freezer. -Yes, I mean the freezer.
Now I get the feeling that you were thinking of something else.
Sarah Sjöström finishes in 24.63! That's the third fastest time...
-She is very happy. And you become... -She is absolutely incredible!
Oh, how nice.
No, no, no. I can't think of anything else.
-Okay. So we stand there. -Yes?
My child has drunk hot chocolate and burned their tongue.
-You see, the eyes tear up. -But no goosebumps.
Then we have Frida Karlsson. [Olympic cross-country skier]
Ah! But I have to refrain from thinking about it.
Because this is potentially the last chance.
-Yes! -Oh, oh, oh!
Then I asked if she wanted to get married, and she wanted to.
What an effort she has made!
-No. -It's cold, anyway.
-I feel all warm and tingly. -Yes, but it's not goosebumps.
-Did you get them when you told it yourself? -No.
You are unaffected.
No, no. But I didn't get goosebumps, and neither did you.
Three, two, one, zero.
-Very good attempt. Good job. -No.
-Yes, yes. -No.
Olle, you didn't get too moved by the story about David's proposal.
-The ice didn't seem to work either. -Apparently not.
Rippe, you were about to go out to the storage room to get a clip?
I was thinking a big screen and show the whole...
It's clear that one gets goosebumps from Swedish successes. Right?
-No goosebumps yet. We won't give up. -We never do, Babben.
After the break, I can promise you that you will see at least one goosebump.
There will be touching moments with Christine, Alfred, and Gina.
You are watching "Bäst i Test" where we now will get goosebumps on demand.
So far, no one has succeeded, but two are very eager.
They are called Christine Meltzer and Alfred Svensson.
Can't I just scratch and get eczema-bubbly?
This is going to be disgusting. From nausea, I get goosebumps.
It's in progress.
If I tickle a little under your arm, maybe you will get them.
With a feather.
That won't work.
You haven't experienced this. Has Gina done this?
Scratch my back. Scratch me on the back. For heaven's sake!
This should suffice. David! This is what you should give me.
-Are you ready? -Quite hard. It gets sexual.
Wait, this doesn't work with the shirt.
-A dog that comes back? -If it has been gone for a long time.
-Keep working with the pencil troll in the meantime. -I can do that.
You have to scratch with longer pulls.
Yuck!
-I want to see if you get goosebumps. -Here. Where I'm pointing.
And on the side. On the side.
-What are you searching for? -Meeting with lions. Nice.
-Many lion meetings have gone wrong. -But I will add "nice".
It's so... I get no feeling.
-Are there too many people in the room? -Here, here, here.
-"Christian the Lion Reunion". -That's it.
"Soldiers come home to dogs." Sit there, you.
Here he comes!
Wait!
I need a couple more, then we are good to go.
-Do you see? -Yes, I see!
-Those are goosebumps. -They're goosebumps!
Strong goosebumps.
-What? Is it him? -It was an old dog.
-There it came. -Yes, you have goosebumps.
-Good job. -Thank you, kindly.
-Now I feel really sick and... -Ashamed?
-Cool. -See you. Maybe.
Yes, Alfred. These were strong scenes with sobs and bare upper body.
What was this last clip, then?
It was soldiers, dogs, and children. Reunions are you sensitive to.
Christine, is it your hobby to watch clips with lions?
Yes, it's kind of the same thing. When they reunite.
-Whitney Houston helped too. -Yes, and the pencil troll.
It's a trio you can't mess with!
Here we note two successful attempts, but how long did it take for them?
Christine evoked goosebumps after 16 minutes and 50 seconds.
That's good work, but Alfred was twice as fast.
-Eight minutes and 55 seconds. -Did it go that fast?
A lot of humiliation in a short time, but we have one left.
Can Gina, of all people, beat Alfred? We’ll see now.
Where is it... Here it is cold.
-I'm really good at freezing. -One wants to see...
What does it mean that the hair stands up? I have shaved my arms.
-Yes, but a few bumps would be fun. -Now.
-That's goosebumps. Up here. -Champ! Buddy!
Buddy boy!
-That went fast. -Yes.
-That was all that was needed. -I'm freezing. I'm an icicle.
-But I'm also ice cold in my hands. -Nice job. What was the score?
We have one point each for those who didn't succeed at all-
-but still showed up, that was Rippe and Olle.
Three points to Christine, four to Alfred.
But the fastest was Gina, who got goosebumps in under a minute.
-Only 58 seconds. Five points! -Oh, how nice. Finally!
Don't forget that tonight's prize-
-is, as said, the premiere episodes of the podcasts "Salt is Everything"-
-and "The Car-Guys and the Car-Girl" on vinyl, CD, and cassette.
Remember, anything can happen and everything can turn.
For now it's the final.
Yes, a warm welcome to this final.
Participants, you have your hands full.
I will do you a favor and read this letter for you.
"For 100 seconds, eat pasta puttanesca with one hand."
"At the same time as you bounce your balloon in the air with the other hand."
"At the same time as you participate in Babben's quiz."
"At the same time as you constantly keep yourself maximally photogenic."
"The camera will take your picture at a random moment."
-No! -"Best portrait wins."
"Most correct answers in Babben's quiz gets two bonus points."
"The one who eats the most pasta puttanesca gets one bonus point."
"The one whose balloon touches the floor the most times loses one point."
"The time starts on David's signal." That's me.
Then it's 100 seconds from...
In which capital is the Spanish Steps located?
-No! -Rome.
How many Italian Serie A teams has Zlatan played for?
-Three. -Two!
Which country had a population of 58.76 million in 2023?
No idea. Pass.
What is pasta puttanesca called in Italian?
Pasta puttanesca!
How many countries does Italy share a land border with?
-Ball, ball. Ball, Alfred. -You see well that I am juggling!
Ni talar bra latin. ["You speak good Latin."] What is such a phrase called?
-Palindrome! -Yes.
-How many L's in Kolosseum? -One!
-What is special about the tower in Pisa? -It leans!
Name a Neapolitan mountain that sounds like a pizza.
-Vesuvius! -Yes, good. [Vesuvio pizza]
Oh, my God!
Come back so we can look at your pictures and distribute points.
Yes, welcome back to the sofas.
We have analyzed your pictures and how photogenic they were.
The picture that was second most photogenic gets four points.
Here it comes, and it is Rippe!
-Wow, a flag. -The flag in mouth.
The next picture was a little less photogenic and gets three points.
Here it comes, and it is Christine.
-No. -Oops.
It's really good. A great picture, actually.
Now we take the picture that was second least photogenic, for two points, and it's Olle's picture.
-Oops! -It's good.
-The balloon is up there. -You bet on the pasta.
And the picture that was least photogenic, for one point, is Alfred's picture.
-Yes, what a surprise. -Very angry.
Now the picture that was most photogenic and gets five points. Gina!
How could you hit that? It was completely incredible.
-Then we have some bonus points, David. -We do.
The one with the most correct answers in the quiz and who gets two points is Alfred.
-Good! -Thank you.
The one who ate the most pasta puttanesca then gets a bonus point.
It's Gina. But the one whose balloon touched the floor the most times...
Gina's balloon broke and landed on the floor.
-You lose that bonus point. -Yes, but I'm still happy.
If we take the bonus points and your other points, then Olle got two points.
Christine and Alfred get three points. The four goes to Rippe.
-And then a five to Gina. -But God!
Then one wonders how it's gone in the whole episode.
-One really does. -Yes!
It's cool that I have this and can tell you-
-that in fourth place we find...
-...Christine. -Isn't that last?
-In this arrangement, it's last. -I'll take it.
We have a shared third place, namely. Rippe and Olle at 16 points each.
-Oh. -Then we have it tight at the top.
-Gina came rushing at the end. -What?! What a surprise.
She got five points in the last test. She gets 19 points.
Alfred got only three points, but he had 18.
So he gets a total of 21 points. He wins tonight's program!
Yes!
And he gets to go forward and take a look at what we have there.
-Look, look. -This shitty prize.
No, I'm kidding. Really fun. Wow!
What have we learned tonight? Well...
Don't have more things on the list than you can finish.
One can paint three pictures at a time. And cars are broader than chips.
"Bäst i Test" is on TV4 Play. In a week we will see each other again. Bye!
Come, let's congratulate Alfred.
