#The12HubPodcast

The shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk has sent shockwaves, but the aftermath is even more complicated. In this special edition of the 12 Hub Podcast, we dive headfirst into the flood of conspiracy theories, from TikTok sleuths claiming they found the "real" killer to questions about AI-enhanced photos and the suspect's own father turning him in.

But the conversation goes deeper. We explore how this event is a symptom of a much larger issue in America, leading to an intense debate on the very concepts of 'white culture' and 'black culture.' Is Black culture a 'manufactured' result of historical oppression, or an authentic, evolving force? Is 'white culture' even a real thing, or just a collection of appropriated traditions?

Stick around for a heated breakdown of the online rhetoric and a controversial take on victim blaming that sparks a major argument.

In Episode 31 of the 12Hub Podcast, Hugh and Sean hold down the fort while Car is stuck with some mysterious "mandatory overtime." The guys take a trip down memory lane, recalling their first jobs at Staples and McDonald's, the thrill of cracking double-digit hourly wages, and some wild workplace stories from back in the day.

The conversation shifts to the current state of hip-hop, discussing the "snitching" culture surrounding Young Thug, the ongoing drama between Dame Dash and Cam'ron, and Drake's surprisingly candid new persona. They also touch on generational differences, the struggles of going viral on TikTok, and whether it's cheaper to cook at home or just hit the McDonald's value menu. Plus, you won't want to miss Hugh's hilarious interaction with a surprisingly "urban" sounding ChatGPT.
