59 | Why Don't Danes Like You? Part 1 (with Ira Sylvester)
Manage episode 440647596 series 3529085
Comedian Ira Sylvester returns to WAYDID for a hilarious conversation about how to drive a Dane crazy. Derek and Ira break down some unwritten rules of social etiquette in Denmark that are often violated by unaware foreigners. Derek explains how his personal preferences have flipped while living in Denmark and that many of the rules he used to break are now dreadfully important to maintain. Ira gets deep and personal about the many facades that we put forth in life, including how the way we act in front of the Danes may be different than the way we act in front of our national kinfolk. In the process he also critiques Derek's podcast persona versus his out-of-studio persona using a dose of British nicety and the Danish directness.
This is part one of the discussion, make sure to follow the podcast to catch part 2 and help us grow the show by sharing it with a friend!
