Run, Uje, Run (Spring Uje spring)

It's like a world on the other side called The Upside Down.

And then a monster from that world...

- Hello! - Hello, Daddy!

- Hello, Vega! - Hi!

- Aren't you going to eat? - Oh, she's half asleep. Hi.

- Hi Bixi. - Hi.

- What did you do at school today? - Nothing special.

Did you talk about convex and concave?

No.

Did you talk about the change to right-hand traffic in 1967?

- No. - Pass me the water, please.

Did you discuss how come bird poo is white?

No, but I know why. It's because bird pee is white...

- ...and bird poo is a mix of the two. - I didn't know that.

- You didn't know that? - No.

Vega, what did you do at day care?

We played cats and dogs.

- Were you a cat or a dog? - I was a cat. Matilda was a dog.

- Great. What about you, honey? - I met with the head teacher...

...about a student's support needs. Then we looked at this week's theme.

Could I have some more sauce, please?

This train is ready to depart. Mind the doors.

IT NOW CONT"UES

- My god, you were great! - Thanks.

- You must have listened to Gudibrallan. - Yeah, they're great.

I was the sound guy for Träd, Gräs och Stenar for years.

- And I dabbled in my own band. - What were you called?

Oh, we were like you - not interested in the fame bit.

- Uje! Bloody great! - Hi, Ullacarin. So glad you came.

Me too!

- I've got to go. See you. - Yeah, see you.

I was born on a summer's day at Löwenströmska Hospital

In Upplands Väsby suburb

My mother's name is Ulla and my father's name is Jerry

If you combine the first letters of their two names

Then you get Uje

And that is why I'm called that

My most famous relation was Harry Brandelius

He was a famous singer in the 1940s

This is my own autobiography

And this is my favourite story

Listen to me when I sing about me

Listen to me when I sing about me

- Who was Tutankhamun? - Do the dialects.

- Do the Skåne dialect. - Okay.

Here is the first question in the category "Egypt":

- Who was Tutankhamun? - An Egyptian king.

- Norrland dialect. - Then I'd like to know:

What was the title of Tutankhamun, that is the Egyptian word for king.

- Pharao. Gothenburg dialect. - Okay!

Next question: What age was Tutankhamun when he died?

Nineteen.

Dalarna dialect.

The question is, how old... No.

- The word for an Egyptian royal tomb? - Pyramid.

Correct! Unbelievable!

You knew all the answers!

Hello in there! Keep it down, will you? I'm putting Vega to bed.

- I'm sorry! - Sorry!

Can you drop her off at day care tomorrow?

Sure. Can you pick her up?

Yes, if you take her to chess class.

Yes. Will you drop her off on Wednesday?

- No. I've got an all-day team conference. - Okay.

I'm seeing the doctor Wednesday morning.

- Why? - This hand thing.

They've got a day out that day.

- I know. So you can't drop her off? - I really can't.

I'll do it.

Remember they leave at 8:30 a.m. exactly.

I know.

Goodnight. Love you.

I love you more.

- I love you most. - I love you...

- ...till the stars end. - I love you as much as I love...

...team conferences.

Thank you. That's lovely.

You say such nice things.

This is Open Phone and I'm Uje Brandelius. We've got another half hour.

Kennet Jansson is on the line. What's on your mind, Kennet?

I want to talk about the begging.

Right.

Nowadays there are beggars everywhere,

and we're to pity them and open our hearts to them.

- But how would they treat us? - What do you mean, Kennet?

How would they treat us if we went begging in their countries?

An interesting intellectual experiment, but it won't happen.

We have a regular income and don't belong to a persecuted ethnic group.

But they're begging outside our supermarkets.

They block the shopping trolleys, they might damage the trolleys...

- Who'll be paying for... - Thanks, Kennet.

Lots of people are calling, so thanks for calling.

Call us here at Open Phone!

Great, Uje. Let's do the electric scooters next.

Right.

We should have had that imam sooner,

because he sparked off so much reaction on Facebook.

- You like Facebook, eh? - Love it!

- I've got a wolf hater who sounds good... - Can I have some?

Sure. There's milk in it.

And I have an anti-vaccine mum who has a blog.

- Have you read about her? - Yes.

And we've got the body activist, though that feels like a Friday thing.

But listen...

You're so good!

- It's so great to work with you, Uje. - You're really great too.

Have you got my charger?

- Bredäng's a mixed suburb, isn't it? - Yes.

So do you own your flat?

- No, we're renting. - Oh, I see.

I've got a friend who's also renting,

and she loves the freedom you get when you rent.

You're not tied to a mortgage.

Right...

And Bredäng's quite nice, isn't it?

Yes, it's nice.

We live in leafy Bromma now,

but before the kids were born we lived in Alby,

and I miss getting a proper falafel. You can't find one in Bromma.

I see.

Yup.

I'm picking up pieces. Look at me picking them up, Daddy.

Hello.

Hello. Is that Uuje?

I'm Uje.

I'm calling from Good Life Insurance. What car insurance have you got?

- I don't have any car insurance. - None at all?

- No. I don't own a car. - I see.

- Because we have an offer this week. - No, thanks.

I see. But listen, Uje, you might be interested in...

- ...our income protection insurance. - No thank you, not just now.

We can also offer you a personal meeting, to...

- I need to hang up. Thanks for calling. - We have travel insurance...

Come on, Vega, let's go.

It's a long and hard road we are walking

But while we're walking we're happier than ever

It's a long tricky path we are strolling

And while we're strolling we stop and start to fondle

Christ...!

It is a long and hard road that we take

- Good morning, Daddy. - Hi, honey.

What time is it...? Oh shit!

Fetch your clothes, Vega.

Put your shoes on so we can go to day care.

Otherwise you'll have to stay with me all day. You've got a day out today.

Vega... That's going to be so much fun, isn't it?

Put it on and the monster will go away.

Okay, bye now! I'm off to work now! Bye-bye!

Vega?

Put them on yourself.

Shit.

- Daddy, you cursed. - Yes. I'm sorry.

Excuse me, is this seat free?

No, that's my bag's seat.

- Uuje Brandelius? - Yes, Uje, that's me.

- I see. Welcome. - Thanks.

Take that book with you.

Let's see...

You've done some motor skills testing.

Yes, that's right. I walked up and down the corridor, and...

Vega, Vega, come on.

Please?

And I did these hand movements.

Grab this.

Do this.

Do it faster.

- Is that the fastest you can do it? - Yes, it is.

Your left hand has been shaking for a while, you say?

Yes, first in my left hand, and then my right hand, too.

And now my kids say my head has started shaking.

And I feel a bit clumsy.

Things I do with my hands are slow, like tying shoelaces.

And then I play the piano, and that's getting harder.

I was never a star, but I'm really slow now.

And you came in to do an MRI scan as well.

Yeah, that was fun - into the tube.

I've got the images here.

And when I look at them...

When I combine what I see here

with the results of the motor skills tests...

...and what you've told me about your hand tremor and rigidity...

...it's evident that you have Parkinson's disease.

Okay...

I don't know what you know about Parkinson's disease,
