Antonsen in comeback: – Has gone from idiot to crown idiot
The program «Misjonen» is back on the air with the fast duo Johan Golden and Atle Antonsen.
For two hours, the two comrades will entertain the Norwegian people.
– This time we have chosen to have it with both Antonsen and Golden, as we have tried before. We don’t know how it will go, but we are betting that it will be successful, says Johan Golden in the year’s first “Misjonen” broadcast.
– Very shamed
Golden called the “Mission” the “Permission” during Antonsen’s absence. On Friday, he suggests that it should be called the «Accident Commission».
– I agree. I have, in a way, recently taken further education. I have recently been cleaned up from idiot to crown idiot, says Antonsen.
Golden wonders how Antonsen has been.
– It has gone better before, I have to be honest and say that. I have been very ashamed. I have known guilt, shame and self-loathing, he adds.
He was so ashamed that he was unable to leave the house, Antonsen continues.
– But it’s not my fault. I am far from a victim here.
Since he does not want to be outdoors in Oslo, after a few weeks he will go indoors on a road trip to Copenhagen.
– Quite a few Norwegians travel to Copenhagen at weekends. I discovered it when I entered the door of the hotel. I got the fright again. I went into the hotel room and stayed there for four days.
When the case came out, Antonsen thought that he was going to get support from the “wrong” people.
He confirms to questions from Golden, and he does not want to support from the right, but he has been given that.
– I did not read those messages. I squinted and deleted everything I got inn. I didn’t follow social media, but not any news stories. They were not to my advantage, understandably enough, says Antonsen.
Golden ends the first sequence of the episode by saying that there has been a lot of Antonsen in the monitor lately.
– We just have to get on, he says.
Antonsen replies that he finally has the papers to be a crown idiot.
– I get a completely different weight when I have to speak about other idiots, he says.
The duo then move on to one of their favourites: Partiet Rødt.
Back in the public eye
This is the first time Antonsen is back in the public eye since social debater Sumaya Jirde Ali in November told about an incident at Bar Boca on October 23 last year.
Antonsen said, among other things, that Ali was “too dark to be here”, which resulted in a police report and a case where he was investigated for hate speech.
Even he has publicly apologized and called it all a poor attempt at humor.
In the wake of the incident, Antonsen asked to be excused from the program, but earlier this week he announced his comeback after the Attorney General dropped the case.
