Is Hans the luckiest man alive... or the most gullible? In this episode, we dive into the Brothers Grimm story Hans in Luck, a tale of bad trades, questionable life choices, and maybe—just maybe—the secret to true happiness (hint: it involves getting rid of literally everything you own). We break down the story, debate whether Hans reached Nirvana or just lost his mind, and share some fun history behind this odd little fairy tale.
