LtdIt was close to a real explosion at the home of Dieter Coppens (46). The presenter confessed one of his worst pranks to Ruben Van Gucht (37) in the Radio 2 program ‘Weekwatchers’. Is there a little pyromaniac in Dieter and his cousins Mathias (45) and Staf Coppens (43)? And what was he doing at a family party with a dog turd?
“Have you ever been a pyromaniac?” Dieter Coppens’ Ruben Van Gucht wanted to know, after which Dieter had no choice but to confess what he had accomplished as a child, together with cousins Mathias and Staf. “My cousins regularly came to stay with us,” Dieter starts. “I have to say: we watched some films at the time. And in films you often see a line of gasoline being laid like that. If you light it, it follows that line so nicely. And we wanted to do that one time. My parents were not at home. We went into the garden shed and took the jerry can with gasoline for the lawn mower. In the end we left the bus behind. (laughs) We lit that line and it did its thing perfectly. And then we walked to that bus. We were able to remove him in time.”

Everything covered in dog shit
Ruben Van Gucht had also contacted Mathias and he brought a crazy story about bombs at Christmas. “I remember a family party where Dieter and his brother had not thought it would be better to smuggle bombs into our family party,” says Mathias. “They thought they were those bombs that exploded after ten seconds. They wouldn’t have thought better of calling us outside, finding a really big dog shit together and pushing a bomb into it. Then we would count to ten and then walk away. Only the bomb exploded after five seconds. We count down and it explodes. Everything was covered in dog shit. Our Sunday clothes, our face, our hair. And then we had to go back to the family party and say, “Mom, Dad, look what happened!” (laughs)
