I translated an interesting article about Ylvek :)

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

Total geniuses

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

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

Were nearly beaten up

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

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

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