When Marcel, from his bar stool, criticizes television connoisseur Angela de Jong in the program, René states that it is precisely Marcel and Gijs Groenteman, who will be holding the baton from June for four weeks. Inside today take over with their talk show Marcel & Gijs, take themselves too seriously. For example, Marcel would not want the VI-men call Gijs ‘Greengrocer’.
“We are in the line of fire, Gijs”, Marcel begins in the podcast. According to him, René becomes visibly irritated during the broadcast, after which he receives support from Wilfred. “Then that Gijp started screaming out of nowhere. To be honest, I didn’t know what it was about at all. It was about saying Groentboer that I couldn’t stand that and that I would have said that. (…) I came not really in between.”
Instructing Wilfred never to say Groentboer again, according to Marcel, that is out of the question. “That is so strange. When you are attacked a, with a lie, and b, that you think: what is this about? (…) As if I take Wilfred Genee, a man with whom I hardly speak, aside to say: ‘Would you please stop calling Gijs Groenteman Gijs Groenteboer, we can’t handle that very well.'”
The reason for the ‘hate relationship’ was a joke that The Orange Summer did not make it at the time. Marcel appeared as a columnist in the program and made a joke about Wilfred when he was ‘under attack privately and professionally’. It woke the VIpresenter ‘a thorn of anger’, after which the column was deleted that broadcast.
After a broadcast of Inside today in February Marcel got the full blow from Wilfred. “Every time he sees me, it triggers something in him. After that broadcast, he was also yelling at me that I shouldn’t assume that my children are being threatened. ‘You don’t take other people’s children into account at all!'” , Wilfred is said to have said.
“In that conversation, which was no longer a conversation, someone from the production said: ‘Would you like to stand between the set pieces, because it will be so embarrassing’.”
Marcel was furious with René after last Friday’s broadcast and confronted him about the altercation. “He can’t handle that at all. Then you see those eyes turn away and then he says: ‘That’s not good.'” He also met Wilfred behind the scenes. “Wilfred puts his hands in the air like: did I do it again?”
Wilfred is an ‘idiot of a game master’, says Marcel. “It’s such a strange thing when you experience that. You just feel assaulted on that stool. There’s nowhere to go.” The writer reads from his book in the broadcast Total. “I should have thrown that book at them. I was done with it.”
After Marcel’s account, Gijs makes it clear: “I would like to make an official statement that I don’t find it funny, but I don’t mind if people call me Groenteboer. People can call me Gray Groenteboer as much as they want. I think it’s not funny.”
“I do have the feeling that we are stepping into a very warm bath at Talpa”, Marcel concludes cynically. The gentlemen let us know that they have the first meeting about their talk show today. You can listen to the full podcast below.
Rob Goossens thinks that the VIriot will have a positive effect on Marcel and Gijs’ talk show:
