This week, Brooke shares a disturbing story of how the use of Fabreeze air-freshener sparked conflict with her Danish husband. Like any couple would want, we brought their issues to this podcast for public debate and ridicule. At the core of the issue is whether scented products are appropriate or should be avoided at all costs. We have noticed, with no scientific evidence, that Danes seem to be more sensitive to smells and scented products than people in our homelands. Is there data to back this up, or are they just more vocal about their displeasure and aversion to anything but a neutral scented product?Derek found several studies that shed a little bit of light on the subject as well as action taken by the government in the last decade that could be influencing how Danes respond and react to perfumes and other scented products. Conrad shares some of his experiences with odors and scents in Denmark, specifically on Danish trains and in nightclubs. How does smoking play a role in all of this?We get to the bottom of it all and have plenty of laughs along the way. Get ready to learn more about how Danish people smell and if it's more intense than other nationalities.Don’t forget to share this podcast with any friends who have made the move to Denmark.For more clips and tips on living in Denmark and follow us on social media:What Are You Doing in Denmark podcast:Instagram: https://instagram.com/waydidpodWatch all episodes of What Are You Doing in Denmark on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFCSH6KqKooZmSx1GJu9CWZYjX8esjl2FDerek Hartman:Instagram: https://instagram.com/robetrottingYouTube: https://youtube.com/c/robetrottingTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@robetrottingFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/robetrottingBrooke Black:Instagram: https://instagram.com/brookeblackjustTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brookeblackjustConrad Molden:Instagram: https://instagram.com/conradmoldencomedyYouTube: https://youtube.com/c/conradmoldenTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@conradmolden Facebook: https://facebook.com/conradmoldenSee Conrad Live: https://www.conradmolden.dk

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!For more clips and tips on living in Denmark and follow us on social media:What Are You Doing in Denmark podcast: Instagram: https://instagram.com/waydidpodWatch all episodes of What Are You Doing in Denmark on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFCSH6KqKooZmSx1GJu9CWZYjX8esjl2FDerek Hartman: Instagram: https://instagram.com/robetrottingYouTube: https://youtube.com/c/robetrottingTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@robetrottingFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/robetrottingIra Sylvester:Instagram: https://instagram.com/irasylvesterofficialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/IraSylvesterOfficial/
