The comedian’s advice for desperate parents of young children

Watch ten Premier League matches live from Saturday morning to Monday night on TV 2 Sumo and TV 2 Sport Premium!

On Saturday, Premier League football is rolling again, with four games live on TV 2 channels.

In a hectic everyday life, it can be difficult to make time to prioritize seeing everything you want, and especially if you have young children who demand their own way.

Of course, priority should be given to children, but if you still want to try juggling and see as much of the sport you love as possible, now a comedian can come to your aid.

On the occasion of his visit to the TV 2 Premier League podcast last week, Chelsea fan, comedian and comedian Olav Svarstad Haugland released a list of five tips on how to watch the Premier League anyway.

– I’ve made a list of this before. These are the things I do. And it might sound silly, because you want to sit back and watch the game on a big screen and get feedback and everything. That’s what you want, but it’s not always helpful, says Svarstad Haugland, who is the father of a four-year-old and a two-year-old daughter.

The question from TV 2 presenter Espen Ween was “How do we of young children manage to combine all that Premier League football and Champions League football and all that now comes with being in a well-functioning home?”.

This is the answer:

Here are the comedian’s five PL tips for desperate parents of young children:

1. Hide
Play hide and seek if there are games you want to see the end of. If you think, “Okay, now the last 20 minutes are exciting,” then you are playing hide and seek. You can hide and watch your cell phone while the kids search. Then there are two or three minutes of searching, there are many fights, and then they hide afterwards. Then you count to ten, and then it’s 10 + 1, 10 + 2 and then you get the last part of the matches that way.

2. Time to sleep
When it’s 6.30 p.m. for the game, then you put the children in. Bedtime is usually 6:30, and then she makes it for you to put them to bed and read to her for the first 20 minutes. Then you say “now we will watch a soccer game together”, and then you lie down and watch a soccer game together where you explain a little what happens until the child sleeps in the corner of her arm. It’s nice, and also hopefully the kids will get a bit interested over time as well.

Svarstad Haugland also comes here with an extra tip, to preserve the interest of the children, which he is currently using successfully for his four-year-old son.

– He has understood that I encourage Chelsea and grandfather encourages Arsenal, so it is very important that all matches are Chelsea-Arsenal no matter who plays. If it’s Brighton-Crystal Palace, it’s also Chelsea-Arsenal. So I’m just pretending it is, says the comedian.

In the podcast you can hear why Øyvind Alsaker thinks this is risky advice.

3. Cook
In relation to round 16, always prepare dinner. Make sure you cook and have it ready by 6pm. Then you do something that takes an hour, so you get the last 45 minutes of the Premier League round. It is also inside.

4. “Something at the same time”
A very sober and good advice is to buy everything made of plasticine, drawing and beads and simply put it on the table and play with them while you watch the game. It is also deep inside. So you can be a good father or mother even if you play soccer.

5. Destination program
Establish a relationship with the “Goal Show.” (This is a program that is broadcast in parallel with the main match at 4:00 p.m. on Saturdays, where during the match you can also see the results and summaries of the other matches. At the moment this is not broadcast, since the Premier League has spread the matches so they are all broadcast live, daily. .Note.) Have the show on speaker, and then just go and watch every time you’re directly inside from, say, Stamford Bridge.

– It’s absolutely fantastic. The goal show is a dream for all soccer-loving fathers and mothers, says Svarstad Haugland.

On the podcast, you’ll also hear why he was heavily cursed the first time a change was made to Målshowet, and why he thinks it’s TV 2 commentator and father of five, Øyvind Alsaker, who has really given the best advice on how. see as much as possible. PL as a parent of young children!

P.S! For tv2.no, the comedian reveals after the podcast that he possibly regrets something about his performance.

– I have probably made a general mistake in disclosing these tips. My partner hasn’t really understood why I always want to put the kids to bed and make dinner exactly on Saturdays, says Svarstad Haugland.
