Episode 18: Ancient Chinese Hangover (Monkey King Part 2)

Published: June 16, 2015, 4 p.m.

If you think that enlightenment is about self-control, spirituality, and connectedness, you're wrong. You're so wrong. Enlightenment is about getting wasted, stealing magical fruit and pills, and then hiding from what you've done, starting a war with Heaven in the process. In episode 18 of What the Folklore? we read chapter 5 of "The Journey West."

Suggested talking points: the Bear Foot Immortal, Trump enlightenment, stacked beach bonuses, the Miraculous Investigator
