What you want to know today: Arjen Lubach is angry

Arjan Lubach

To stay up to date during quarantine times, we summarize the news for you. Lubach gives the Netherlands a wake-up call and, to keep the balance a bit: GTST is one evening less on the air.

GTST will be broadcast at a lower frequency
And you thought this was the moment to dust off your old guilty pleasure? It can, but just a little less than you were used to. Due to the corona crisis, GTST has immediately halted recordings, and as a result, the soap will now be shown four evenings a week. On Fridays, you can watch The Voice from 8:00 PM, causing Jinek to start at 10:00 PM.

Jeroen Pauw is back on TV
Just when it seemed like a farewell for Jeroen Pauw, he is already back at the NPO. Draconian times call for draconian measures. The presenter takes care of Op1 on Sunday evenings together with Fidan Ekiz, which immediately results in a viewership record of nearly 1.9 million for the program. It's a good thing I didn't run him over last week in the parking lot of the Albert Heijn; my parking sensors even went haywire. By the way, Pauw is back on his own initiative because he missed a talk show during this corona time.

Yes, your YouTube and Netflix are lower in quality
Maybe you let things buffer a bit over the weekend because everything looked a little less sharp? That's right. YouTube and Netflix are lowering the quality of the image due to the massive traffic worldwide.

The first senior hour in the supermarket
I walked in the supermarket last week, which had been pretty much raided in our village. There was hardly anything left except for a zucchini. And there was an older couple, I estimated them to be in their early nineties, who couldn't stock up on potatoes anymore. My heart broke a little. The supermarkets responded to this and are introducing a senior hour starting today, from seven to eight in the morning. This way, people face fewer health risks and also have a chance to do their shopping. The elderly association ANBO has mixed feelings about the hour: even though they think it is well-intentioned, they also find it stigmatizing and a limitation of the freedom of the elderly. It all depends on how you interpret it; I believe it's not forbidden to just do your shopping at another time, right? The senior hour seems to be catching on for now.

UberEats delivers for free these weeks
Perhaps the tastiest news of today, as UberEats is waiving delivery fees. I just checked if they are finally active in ’s-Graveland, but unfortunately not. You lucky bastards in the larger cities. Bon appetit.

Lubach explains the rules again
Irritated as he was, Arjen Lubach kicked off his show on Sunday evening with unmistakable instructions. It can be that simple.
