This week Annie Samples joins Mike and Derek in the studio, but you may know her as Annie in Eventyrland. That’s the name she uses while taking over TikTok and Instagram by sharing her life as an American mother raising her four kids in Denmark. 

She opens up about the highs and lows of living in Denmark as an immigrant and her path to becoming a content creator. Mike, Derek, and Annie discuss some of their run-ins with American police - and you’ll find out which one of them ended up handcuffed in the back of a police car after a low speed car chase. 

Annie shares a few things about raising kids in Denmark that she avoids talking to her American friends about, like when she’s not really sure where they are several times per week. You’ll also hear how a social media post about Danish babies napping in strollers took Annie’s content viral around the world.

Derek and Mike welcome back Adrian Mackinder, a British writer, actor, comedian, and man of many talents. In honor of Mike’s upcoming birthday, Mike and Adrian team up for a game where they have to identify historical figures that may or may not have lived longer than Mike. Adrian then discusses the biggest challenges and cultural differences he has experienced when moving from London to Copenhagen. The conversation continues with a discussion on the cultural similarities between Danish and British media, especially the popularity of Danish noir series. A debate takes place over whether a sense of humor is shared between the two countries, and whether or not learning Danish should be a priority for foreigners living in Denmark - and overall, a lot of laughs are had all around.
