In this episode, the opening is impeccable and beyond reproach. We discuss the fine art of anime-themed cocktails, the strange economic forces that keep Tokyo’s restaurants affordable, and whether or not Julian is being set up for a tragic fate. Also in this episode: the surreal experience of seeing a monkey in a hot spring, a heated debate about natto, and the baffling persistence of Elon Musk.

Plus: futuristic train stations, the unbearable cost of London, and a philosophical inquiry into whether all orangutans are just guys.
