Growing Pains with Andrew Heckman - Ep 47 - Shannon's Pokemon Birthday
Birthdays mean Pokémon at OGGO 🦍 — and this one was no exception!
In this episode of Growing Pains with Andrew Heckman, the crew celebrates Shannon’s birthday in true OGGO fashion — with Pokémon packs, laughs, and a surprise Blooming Waters 151 box drop!
Shannon isn’t exactly a “birthday person” (she hates the spotlight), but when it comes to packs? She’s all in. The team rips through a ton of packs, finds plenty of hits, and of course… we had to ask: did the Zard Hunter himself pull any Charizards? 🔥
Come hang out, celebrate, and see if the birthday luck strikes again!
👉 Watch. Laugh. Grow. Pull. Repeat.

Growing Pains with Andrew Heckman - Ep35 - Cooter McDankerson
In this episode, Andrew sits down with long-time grower and old friend Cooter to swap stories, compare notes, and dive deep into the grower’s grind. From nutrients and hash to soil vs. hydro, aeroponics, and the challenge of finishing sativas in a northern climate—no growing stone is left unturned.
Of course, we’ve gotta talk about OGGO Gorilla Strength Trainers (because when your plants are pushing 8 feet tall, you need some serious support 👊).
But it’s not just about growing—we branch off into music, travel across Ontario, Pokémon battles, Ninja Turtles nostalgia, comics, and even hunting. It’s a full-spectrum conversation that’s equal parts informative and entertaining.
🔥 Whether you’re a grower, a fan of good stories, or just here for the laughs, this episode’s packed with gems.

Growing Pains with Andrew Heckman - Ep 15 - Kyle Annis
This week on Growing Pains, Andrew sits down with his longtime friend Kyle for a heartfelt (and often hilarious) trip down memory lane. From bruising rugby matches to the tender chaos of fatherhood, the two reflect on how far they’ve come—and all the trouble they got into along the way. Expect wild stories from their youth, a few questionable decisions, and the kind of laughter that only decades of friendship can bring. It's an episode full of warmth, wisdom, and a healthy dose of nostalgia.

Growing Pains with Andrew Heckman - Ep 14 - Paige Chambers of Pawsitively Furever
🎙️Rescue, Resilience & Black Dog Syndrome: A Conversation with Paige Chambers In this inspiring episode of Growing Pains with Andrew Heckman, Andrew and Alexandra sit down with Paige Chambers, the executive director and founder of Pawsitively Furever, a non-profit incorporated rescue and charitable organization dedicated to saving dogs from some of the most underserved regions — including Northern Ontario, Manitoba, Texas, and Puerto Rico.
🐾 Paige shares the emotional journey of building a rescue from the ground up, the reality of Black Dog Syndrome, and the often-overlooked challenges both dogs and adopters face during the 3/3/3 transition rule — the first 3 days, 3 weeks, and 3 months after adoption, when adjustment is at its hardest.
💔 From rescuing dogs in crisis to helping them find forever homes, Paige opens up about the heartbreak, healing, and hope that drives her mission — and how we can all be part of the solution. 💬 How did Paige end up here? What keeps her going? And how can you help support her incredible cause? Stay tuned — this is NOT an episode you want to miss.
