Episode description

In this episode, we sit down with award-winning Danish creator Mathias Bach—TikToker of the Year, mastermind behind some of Denmark’s most viral videos, and former child YouTuber who once tried to shorten school days for everyone.

Brooke, Conrad, and Derek get Mathias's view on growing up in Denmark, what most foreigners really don’t understand about Danish culture, and how he balances humor with social commentary. We discuss the strange reality of being a creator in one of the smallest countries on the internet and what topics are best to poke at for a Danish sense of humor.

We take a serious turn discussing the polarization between Copenhagen and the rural parts of Denmark and where the divide could lead in the future.

Whether you’re an international living in Denmark or just fascinated by how the Danish sense of humor works, this episode is funny, honest, and full of surprises.
