Episode 11: Never Grow Up, Never Surrender

Real OTG
We're back! That's right, after a much needed break - hey, we have day jobs...cut us some slack - we bring unto you a gift just in time for the holidays, with some reflection upon the struggle our OTG has with growing up. As we discuss how various generations define maturity, we journey through how our generation grapples with its own definition of what being an adult really means. We reminisce on the things from our past that we continue to cling to, like cartoons and toys, and have frank discussions on possible culprits that trapped us in our youth, like lacking access to real estate and consumerist culture. So, grab your collectible action figures and turn on your Adult Swim, we're going to talk about adulting and stuff and whatever.
