Does life sometimes feel like a hamster wheel where you’re constantly chasing more money, sex or something else?

Since we all end up dead anyway, should life be taken seriously?

And how is it possible that a man from India can literally spank you into enlightenment?

In this episode:

• How does spanking bring us to enlightenment?
• Will chasing more ass, cash or status just bring you more pain?
• Why Bill Gates’ money, George Clooney’s sex life or the body of Shawn Phillips won’t bring lasting happiness
• What do you really want beyond paying the bills, orgasms, etc.?

• Is figuring out the mystery of life a mistake?
• How can “shit” be a holy word?
• Should you take life seriously?
• Why are some “spiritual” or “personal growth” people such a drag?

Our culture and its expanding arena of attention-grabbers like Facebook and Twitter make it more challenging to just have a glass of wine or a simple meal. For instance, we’re finding it increasingly necessary to eat AND read email AND watch TV.
