He is the son of a VI icon, so the Nepo baby stamp is lurking. But he was still there last night: Nicky van der Gijp, pontifically in the studio of the Oranjezomer. Does he have a fight with Dad?
The glasses of René van der Gijp have been a fixed part of the decor for today Inside. No VI broadcast in which he does not have those glasses on. The black frame must give him a hint of authority, because otherwise that set piece is not used for anything: his son Nicky van der Gijp revealed last winter that there is not even strength in it. It is fake glasses.
Wooden bench
René could not help but admit it. Uncomfortable, because fake glasses means only one thing: vanity. And let that be the kind of behavior that he has been grinning to others in VI for years. There is a good chance that he would rather have kept it still. Anyway: Nicky seems forgiven. He made his debut on SBS 6 last night.
Nicky, just like his father, a football connoisseur, did not appear at the table and not at the bar, because he is now the Oranjezomer has moved from the Beekse Bergen to Hilversum. He was plumped down on a simple wooden bench, next to the cyber expert of the program.
New face
Thomas van Groningen, who is doing well beyond expectations as a raid-Hélène, announces him. “A new face on the container: Nicky van der Gijp. Did that old man still call today?”
Nicky: “I called him, he didn’t even call me! No, but that is not necessary. We called this week … Yes, it is just fun. He has not given me any advice, but just being myself and that is me.”
Thomas: “What tips did he give?”
Nicky: “No tips. Especially don’t listen to you.”
Fake glasses
Then Thomas brings up a pain. “I won’t do that either. I thought: maybe you listen to your father and put on those fake glasses.”
Nicky: “No, I have doubted about that dildohelmel, but no, no, no.”
Studiogast Gordon: “Is it really fake glasses?”
Thomas: “Isn’t it really fake glasses?”
Nicky: “That was made very big again, isn’t it?”
Gordon: “Well, it’s also huge glasses.”
Book
Nicky again confirms that it is a Bepbril. “If he occasionally reads a book, he has glasses on, but he has no glasses on the whole day. It is not as if he needs his glasses all day for everything and if he should sit at the table here, then he does not necessarily need strength, so …”
Thomas: “You just flap, isn’t it, in a radio interview?”
Nicky: “Yes, but I just have to say what I think about it?”
Quarrel with dad?
Thomas wants to know if he had a fight with Pa. “Does he don’t mind if you talk about him like that?”
Nicky: “We had a fight about it, Thomas. No, of course not. That’s how it works? I don’t think he would expect me to keep my mouth shut and it doesn’t seem like me to be sitting here that I am sitting here.”
Finally: Nicky does not want to become the regular replacement for René at today Inside? “No, that seems terrible to me.”
