Jussi: No… not really. It’s nice if we talk about music, so I don’t need to worry so much.
Host: Aalright. Oh do I look pregnant in this!?
[Jussi just looks at her, voicing ’no‘, but not really saying anything.]
Host: Well well now, did you …
[A weird guy comes in]
Weird guy [interrupts her]: Aaha so now you’re ready for the first interview? What… who are you?
Jussi: Jussi, hi.
Guy: Jussi!? Which Jussi?
Host: Well, Uniklubin Jussi.
Guy: STRIKE! Yes! I’ve like.. Damn, I’ve always… really I’ve always wanted to talk to you!! I thought you were only a musician but then, god help me, you also own that bed-company! Splendid!! [Jussi looks at him questioningly, but doesn’t interrupt] Hey, let’s do the interview in a way that a part as big as possible is about that. So, Jussi tells about the company, and then we can tell our consulters that we have a really high class businessman here in the studio.
Host: Well now how confused are you? Jussi is a rock artist, not a bed-seller!
Guy: What rock-…
Host: A rock artist!
Guy: But but but we.. we’ll have to get him dressed, we don’t have … now… just put this on [gives Jussi his jacket], quickly, and then… we’ll clear this up somehow, we’ll just say …
Host: You cannot just dress him up! I think the artist can just wear his own clothes! Really, take this back!
Guy: Ooh but we have the consulters coming and now all we have is some musician!!!
Host: I’m sorry.
Guy: Oh let’s do it this way. I’ll sent you text-messages from the flight!! Recording’s started, Jenny, get ready! [runs off]
Host: Hello everyone from Radio Millennium. I’m Jenny and today we also have a guest: Jussi from Uniklubi. Jussi, welcome!
Jussi: Thanks.
Host: Nice to have you here. How are you?
Jussi: I feel just fine, thank you. It’s been… a good year and it was fun and now it’s nice to go back to playing shows with the band after having taken a little, little break from the festivals.
Host: The song Mitä Vittua is playing at the moment. What is it about?
Jussi: It’s about … mhh… it’s like Hämeenkyrö-feeling, things that happened there. A young and bitter guy falls in love with a girl who doesn’t notice it. Like that. Things happening to a young man.
Host: When was it filmed?
Jussi: It was recorded last summer. …The video was recorded then, or…?
Host: Okay, yes.
Jussi: Summerfeeling.
Host: Cool. Well… Hey! Tell me, I heard a few rumours that you one dreamt of a career as an actor. Is that true?
Jussi: Yes, some times I actually did… secretly.
Host: Secretly? Now have you ever been playing at some theatre or something?
Jussi: Noo, in secondary school I made this sort of school-project with special kurses and there we produced a film.
[She interrupts asking „being forced to go?“ but he’s still talking, when he’s finished she goes on, ignoring her own question]
Host: Oh really!! Now, where are you from?
Jussi [obviously wants to say something more but then answers the question]: I’m from Hämeenkyrö, but I went to school in Parkano.
Host: Ah well. Greetings to Parkano!! Haha… no, sorry…
[Both are lauhging and she’s embarrassed]
Anyway, now… anyways now we’re playing … Mitä— Mitä Vittua
