This week on Adulthood Pending, we argue about things that absolutely should not be controversial… but somehow are. Bedtimes. Public fights. Quitting your job. Living with your parents past 30. Being single at 3...

Episode 38 of Adulthood Pending is completely unplanned—and somehow that makes it one of the most honest episodes we’ve done. No outline. No topic.
