Couch-jumping? Royal speeches? Fireworks that feel slightly… unregulated? In this end-of-year episode, Derek and Conrad break down Danish New Year traditions from the perspective of internationals who’ve learned them the hard (and funny) way. From watching the King’s speech at 6 pm and playing speech bingo, to the cult classic Dinner for One , jumping into the new year at midnight, and surviving Denmark’s famously intense fireworks, this episode is your practical (and humorous) guide to doing New Year’s “the Danish way.” They also share personal New Year routines, cozy dinner-party culture, parenting hacks to fake midnight for small kids, and a few classic cultural misunderstandings, including what happens when you accidentally perform comedy at the wrong julefrokost. Whether this is your first New Year in Denmark or your tenth, this episode will help you feel a little less like the odd one out and maybe even a bit more Danish. Happy New Year, or as we say in Denmark, Godt nytår! 🎆 Derek Hartman:  https://www.instagram.com/derekhartmandk   https://youtube.com/c/robetrotting https://tiktok.com/@derekhartmandk www.facebook.com/robetrotting Conrad Molden: https://instagram.com/conradmoldencomedy https://youtube.com/c/conradmolden https://tiktok.com/@conradmolden   https://facebook.com/conradmolden https://www.conradmolden.dk 🎟️ Come see the show in person!
