Israeli host Avri Gilad has revealed he brings his own comfort items to work, including an orthopedic chair and an espresso machine, stating he is no longer willing to tolerate uncomfortable conditions. Gilad explained on Itay Segal's podcast that the chairs at Channel 12's news company are 'terrible' and cause him back pain, prompting him to purchase his own orthopedic chair for the studio. He added that he also brings his own "t-shirts" and that anyone is welcome to use his chair.
When asked by Segal what would happen if news anchor Yonit Levi wanted to use his chair, Gilad humorously responded, "It would be my honor for Yonit's butt to sit on my chair." Gilad also mentioned bringing an espresso machine and other necessities to events, such as the Kfar Noqdim festival, to ensure his personal comfort.
Gilad attributed this approach to aging, stating that as people get older, they prioritize comfort and do not rely on others to provide it. He hosts his current program with Shariki on Channel 12.
