Premier Jetten moet ontgroenen?!

I'm Rick and today Emma, Lars and I are sitting in a cozy cafe talking about something

that might seem boring at first, but trust me, it matters way more than you think.

We're diving into a piece of Dutch news that's actually pretty interesting.

Stick around.

Youngens, I'm wearing something very rare on NOS.

Oh no, Rick starts with his news.

What is he now?

No, but seriously, this is really funny.

Okay, okay, tell me.

They have a new premiere in the Netherlands.

Yeah, I know that.

That's yet to come.

Exactly, but do you know what's happening now?

No.

He has to learn how he is premiere.

That's normal.

Yeah, I don't understand that at all.

They call it green in the article.

Green is still for students.

Yeah, exactly, at the university.

Exactly, that's why it's so funny.

They have to let him do weird things.

Maybe he has to jump into a swimming pool.

No, it's just that he's working.

Oh, so no real green.

Yeah, but actually.

Yeah, the NOS makes a big deal of it.

Is he new then?

Yeah, he's still young too.

How old is he?

Wait, I think he's around 40.

That's not so young, right?

For a premiere, well.

Okay, that's right.

What does he have to learn about all of them?

Well, how does the cabinet work?

It sounds like that.

Yeah, but he's now the base of the whole Netherlands.

That's exciting.

Do you think he's doing well?

No idea.

I just started.

We have to wait, I think.

Typical Dutch.

How so typical?

Well, we always make a drama of everything.

Yeah, that's true.

I think the media.

Exactly, they write everywhere.

You also read all of them, right?

Yeah, okay, you're right.

How many new sites did you read per day?

Maybe 5 or 6?

That's a lot.

I live here, far away.

I want to know what happened.

I understand, actually.

Mission in the Netherlands?

Sometimes, yes.

Also the Dutch politician?

No, that's not it.

That's what I understand.

But okay, this site is okay.

Yeah, we see what happened.

When did he start?

I think he read a few days ago.

So he's really new.

Yeah, super new.

Spannend for him.

I sure know.

I wouldn't want to hear it.

No, I don't want to.

I think too much stress.

And everyone has a meaning about you.

Yeah, exactly.

That's annoying.

The comments online are always so negative.

Do you read them all?

Sometimes?

Rick, you're really sleeping at news.

Yeah, okay.

Maybe a bit.

How about you?

Success for him.

Yeah, he has it noted.

Yeah, we see what happened.
