Olcay Gulsen and Ruud de Wild are being put through a lot after their trip to Turkey, where they went to help victims of the earthquake. “Vain gloating!”
They felt ‘sad and defeated’ after everything they saw in the earthquake zone: Olcay Gulsen and Ruud de Wild sat at Op1’s talk show table one day after their return from Turkey last month. The two made a very shaken impression at the table and explained in detail what their feelings were about the earthquake suffering.
Kek showbiz set
Youp van ‘t Hek is now making mincemeat of that. ‘Vain gloating’, is the headline of his column in the VARA guide. “Inspired by a cool showbiz set, I thought: I’ll go with the next disaster too. I’m just going there. What am I going to do? To look. Also with my wife”, he writes, without mentioning the name of Olcay and Ruud.
It seems that Youp doubts the intentions of the ‘cool showbiz set’. How will he follow in their footsteps in the next disaster? “I will take a serious look at it and later declare that I did not keep it dry there.”
On all talk shows
What if Youp comes back from that next disaster? “Then I will be on all the talk shows. And wondering out loud what I was doing there, but that I’m still glad I went. Shownieuws also gets a few snotty words. Just like Blvd. And I will report on the radio. In a well-behaved tone, of course.”
What does Youp say when asked if his airplane seat would not have been better served by a real rescue worker? “Then I will answer that that is a good question and that I wondered that too. But something inside me told me to go. And I’m very glad I went. Something like that? It seems delicious. In fact, I can’t wait!”
