362: Chinese folklore: Broken

Two stories from Chinese folklore about broken things. A broken pot, a broken future, and how things can come together to heal. And why you shouldn't go to work drunk or else you might have to arrest a tiger.

The creature is the tooth tyrant, the Odontotyrannos, and it's not an angry dentist.
