Unless you work in a hazardous area or whatever, dress codes are kinda dumb.

I work in a basement of a company that is contracted out to to Federal government. The campus is secured via badge, the parking garage is secured by badge, the building is secured by badge, and the department is secured by badge. The only people I see are the 4 people that sit near me, my manager, and the random people in the lunch cafeteria. The contract doesn't stipulate any sort of dress code, but upper management requires business wear with ties 4 days a week and business casual on Fridays. So dumb.

I work in the same level of place, but for us it's jeans, cowboy boots/hats, and t-shirts. Sometimes I wear a button up shirt or something, and we wear Carhartts when it's cold. It's always funny when you tie guys show up for a visit.

Get better lighting, your cuts are awkward, work on your back and forths, and come up with jokes that aren't ancient unfunny mainstays.

Maybe smoke some weed before filming.

You sound like an rear end in a top hat you know that right? They aren't pros they are just looking to do something fun it looks like.

I could be wrong and if I am sorry.

Those are like 4 things incredibly amateur people can do in 15 minutes to make things look almost professional. Adjusting your lighting so your face isn't washed out, making the back and forth cuts smoother, running through the skit 4 or 5 times to make it sound more natural, and the "you really suck at cooking, even though you keep trying" joke was old when my grandma was young.

Also, if both of them were hella high, it would be pretty entertaining.

That's a good point. Why didn't you say that to begin with? I agree like I said they were wooden and needed to relax and ignore the camera.

Does anyone have any recs for recipes that show off lovage (leaves, not roots) well? Or, for that matter, has anyone had a preparation of agretti/okahijiki that's pretty good?

The classic Loveage dish is Loveage Soup. Sophie Grigson made a blue cheese dip with loveage so there's that. It goes very well with smoked fish, salmon or trout, and the leaves sprinkled over a salad are drat fine things.

Loveage, for sure. Classic, if underrepresented expression. Saltwort I've never had but steeping things in vodka is a fun way of playing with flavors.
