This week, Brooke, Conrad, and Derek are joined by friend of the show Adrian MacKinder to break down the latest news in Denmark.

We dive into America’s egg shortage—and why the U.S. asked Denmark to buy up surplus shipments—before debating whether a Danish boycott of American goods is a meaningful solution or just virtue signaling.

Plus, on a more positive note, we highlight the volunteer efforts helping Danish seniors navigate cybersecurity and stay safe online.
