Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?
I'm going to start. Here's what's going on right now. It's a big day. Not only do we have a guest joining the pod, but also Jorm's back, everybody.
Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew. Yeah.
Last day tomorrow, guys, of the shoot. Oh. So back on the pod, still in Finland. And Jorm, let me just say, we missed you a lot. And I've heard from people who enjoy the pod, it was a nice dramatic built-in arc that you were sort of both in Finland and didn't understand time zones. It was all of a sudden our podcast had a like serial element to it.
Yeah. And then I got drunk and then I disappeared, which, you know, could have been related to that. You know, they had a story arc to it.
I do really like that when you get drunk, you will find the nearest celebrity and drag them to do a podcast.
Immediately. Well, that guy's pretty willing, I got to say.
I feel like there are nights you've been drunk where you have then texted us all, hey, you know, I could bring this person, too.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like you're at a bar talking to someone and being like, you want to do a podcast?

Chapter 2: What was the experience of shooting The Japanese Office?
Criterion extras, maybe?
Yeah, I don't know. Shitbox, I don't feel like shitbox. Okay, let's stick with shitbox then. First thought, best thought. Well, extras? Oh, here's something from the last episode. You guys can just pile on as soon as I say this out loud. I have a book club. I have a monthly book club with some gentlemen. I go to my book club. Thank you. A little late. Yeah.
I was taking another one of those famous sips of water. This has been one continuous sip since Beetlejuice. I spiked it. You've been talking out the side of your mouth a little bit last year. So we got a room at a restaurant, and we rotate who hosts, and we try to find a private place to have dinner and talk about a book.
And I walked in, and one of the other guys goes, you have to grease a palm to get in here? And it was very nice to hear a lot of the book club guys had listened to the episode, and then we had a long conversation about palm greasing.
And had? Had any of them greased a palm?
There was one guy we all knew. We were like, you're the palm greaser. And he said, I grease in, I grease out. I like walk by a restaurant I'm not even having dinner at and I'll just grease a palm.
Is it a born and bred New Yorker? Yeah. Because my uncle's the only person I've seen do that. It is. And it was at a Yankee stadium and he handed $20 and a whole other section opened up for parking. I was like, whoa, shit. Oh.
I'm going to go on a limb. I'm going to say, John Lutz, you've never greased a palm.
I don't think. No, wait. I did in college when I took a girl out on a date before a dance at Olive Garden. Oh, my God. You greased an Olive Garden palm? How much did you give? So it's like $20. It was $20. To get what? I was just like, take care of us. To the waiter or the maitre d', the host? No, to the waiter. To the waiter, because I was really trying to impress this girl and it didn't work.
