#The12HubPodcast

This week, the crew dives into the viral fallout from our Jordan vs. LeBron sneaker debate and the hypocrisy of sneaker culture. We kick things off by reacting to a clip from our own show going viral on TikTok and the wild, out-of-context narratives that fans created.

The conversation then shifts to the bigger picture of content creation, celebrating the first viral moment and discussing what's next for the channel. We also get into some wild pop culture stories, from the bizarre rumors surrounding Hulk Hogan's death to a deep dive into the conspiracy that Hollywood forces Black actors to wear a dress to get famous.

What would you do for $10 million dollars?

Finally, the episode gets personal with raw, honest stories about the politics of relationships, the challenges of work-life balance, and why older generations are more equipped to handle the apocalypse. It's a raw, unfiltered conversation you won't want to miss.
