20:00 If we get what we want. Let's just go there. Not sure about that.. But great guest and interview.

Interesting conversation, and enjoyed learning about the differences between US and DK in the workplace. Mike, can you return and say a bit more about _what kind of work you do_ , apart from managing? Does it take all your time, since you left the podcast? I think you should re-host.🙂 Annie, several times you just say "love" ...not sure if you're aware of it yourself, or just thinking out loud...like I'm doing here. Derek, I appreciate your honesty and humour.😊 When I hear about the American workplace, where you can't leave if you're ill, I shake my head. Completely unfair and unhealthy.

I think most people and work places in Denmark are not influenced by USA. Most look at work place culture in USA and feel sorry for USA. No one really wants the work life balance of USA. No maternity leave, no holidays etc etc. Don’t worry, no one in Denmark looks to USA for inspiration. I wouldn’t want to have work life balance I had in New Zealand, where I am born and raised, either. Denmark is great. Loved your show today. Mike really had great insight and was pretty accurate. So interesting hearing everyone explain the way American people are in general.

Derek, why doesn't Mike cohost the Podcast anymore? What does Mike do apart from you, workwise? Also, it would be interesting to listen to a video wherein we learn what both of your income is from both UA-cam and your other endeavors. I have always been curious as to how people survive and thrive creating YT content here and working in a foreign country. Apologies if I appear personal. My intent has often been misunderstood, which saddens me. I never mean to be rude. I am just naturally inquisitive.

Tak for et godt program

awesome show!

Hi/hej😊

As a danish person, I find the title pretty offensive

Hello,can one parent sign for the new born baby certificate, if the other parent is far or living in another country? My girlfriend just gave birth, she's a African but a Denmark citizen, I live in Germany?

Skilled workers ≠ Asylum seekers.

It’s a necessity I’m afraid , especially with regard to certain religions and primitive values and ideology. It doesn’t belong in Denmark nor in Europe nor in the US, nowhere. Be careful though and don’t ever support a certain type of immigrants because they want gay people like you and me dead and they would kill us if they could and also subjugate women . Don’t be naive folks

Biggest problem is lumping everyone into the label of "immigrant." People who just show up with no plan and demand you take care of them because of some nebulous conflict are not immigrants and they're not refugees. They're opportunists and con men (mostly men) who are looking for the best welfare deal. It's disruptive and dangerous and I don't blame any country who cracks down on it. People who follow the rules and bring the best of their culture to add to their new home are immigrants. Asylum seekers should be held to a stricter standard and should go to the nearest safe country only after proving they are, in fact, asylum seekers.

DISCLAMER: This is my PERSONALE expirence as a dane. So about the down playing things: If you are speaking with a dane and you compliment someone, please don't over do it it might make the dane you're talking to uncomforable, When it is a teen/pre-teen you are talking to at least. AGAIN: This is my personale expirence as a dane

I got rid of my car solely because of the environment, I do just fine, and I live in rural Jutland. Regarding Ms. Sands... just make me miss Rufus Gifford even more..

It's not just "a few" or "some" people in usa that goes bankrupt in USA, more than 200.000 people have been bankrupted due to health expenses.

As a swede, yeas the winter here is grey, rainy, not much snow and only last 3 or 4 months

Even worse than "how are you" is "what's up". No one in Scandinavia knows what they should answer! 😂

Here in the Faroe Islands, we use the same Danish educational system, but we have our own alphabet, just like the Danes have their. Ours has no C, no Q, and no X and we have no Å, which the Danes use. we have Ð (Edd) and 2 double letters EI, EY and OY. The Danes don't use those either. So for example: No = Nej (Danish) = Nei (Faroese). the Danes use "ej" to make the same sound as our EI letter. it sounds exactly the same, just spelled differently. I started school at 7. I think they have pre-school now which is 5 or 6, not sure. we had Danish as a subject in school in the third grade, so by the age of 9, I started reading Danish and we started reading English in 6th grade. Now it's earlier I think, 4th or 5th grade. That said I knew how to speak English before I learned to read it because of television. all my Saturday morning cartoons were in English, now everything is Danish, the kids today are ruined.

One thing that really irritated me in both the USA and Canada were tips that I was not used to, as the salary for one is higher here in the Nordics. I think I spent $200 in a week in tips because I felt pressured and didn't understand how it worked.

Sild og snaps.

IM ALSO FROM PHILADELPHIA MOVING TO DENMARK OMG!!!! this video is perfect and very informative (I’m going there for college) tysm for the information, I’ll definitely be combing through more of your videos

A system of measurement is a language. To convert the Untied States to metric, would be the same as to try and change the national language form English to Spanish, because Spanish is a much more simple language and in a number of ways, better than English, Such a thing would be flat out impossible.

A British stone is 14 American pounds

Vibrant political system? Are you kidding???

You know your body?? Really? Better than a (WELL trained) doctor (7 years vs 1½ year training)? I guess danes have a bit more respect for education? :D

Julemandskum

Dr Nielsen of course

was just about to say Flødeboller in a bag on the airplane was a risky business :D

I AM a danish

A hot blonde

I have worked in Sweden for 10 years and I completely agree on almost everything even for Sweden. I love working in Scandinavia!

Will it charge phones when not near any sockets???

I hate that we Danes don’t think it’s okay to promote or just want to be a winner, most Danes is team players i think that’s stupid, and i am a Dane.

You are right it is horrifying to watch who police treat people in America it would never happen in Denmark.

Shoues of in my house only if they are very dirty or wet, otherwise you can keep them on 😉

Spot on 👏🏻🥳🥰 Hugs from a Dane 🇩🇰

Maybe don't put beer in the same case as the cream buns. The beer will crush them.

😅

Koldskål

The examples he gave were kinda tone deaf. He seems a bit classist. People are diverse and sure, some parts of the country has more of a certain industry... but his assumption is that the academics are in the big cities, which is just wrong.

We have the app solution in Sweden and I'd say id rather keep the rfid cards. Much easier to use. Always hard getting those readers on the busses to read the QR code from the phone app

OMG we are terrible, I can see that now!! No wonder why we can't get anyone to move here and everybody leaves, sigh ..

YAY!! So nice, best wishes from Denmark to you and your family!! :D

Æbleskiver, lakridskonfekt, marcipan and nougat (so you can make konfekt), gløgg, hvidtøl, snebolde med marcipan... all of these things are very Christmasy.

as an american, everything here makes way more sense except for the water thing…u gotta stay hydrated!!! one thing that makes NO sense at all is how europeans can spend all day drinking coffee and beer and smoke cigs and NOT! BE! THIRSTY!! (i got thirsty writing this comment)

The problem seems to be that our culture is insulting you, so sad, we really don't mean to, very eye opening, didn't really think of danes as narrow minded racists, and our society is that alien - food for thoughts, definitely!

i skal lave gammel dags æblekage og æbleskiver

I can’t speak danish but I can speak Italian: ciao French: Bonjour German: hallo Polish: czesc Spanish: hola I’ll say hello in each language: 👇 please like not forcing 😊
