Is Chuck a Hub-Son?

There was a time when all people ever wanted to do was move out of their parents house. Things have changed for some. The world is a different place and there are many factors that can be attributed to the change. Well, we learned a new term today. There are a growing number of 'trad-sons' or 'hub-sons' that are staying home in exchange for essentially working for their parents.
According to NYPost, "Luke Parkhurst is living the dream. And at nearly 34 years old, he’s doing it jobless and rent-free at his mother’s house — a sweet setup that mom, Patty, loves. But the millennial’s spongy life on easy street doesn’t come as a totally free ride. Instead, it comes with the homemaking duties of a stay-at-home-wife. Rather than loafing about all day, eating bonbons and scrolling through social media while Patty, a flight attendant, works, Luke’s taking care of business around the abode. His is an unpaid, unproblematic position that’s rising in popularity among the Gen Z and Gen Y2K guys — called “trad-son” by some, or, “hub-son,” as Patty calls Luke."
It's not for everyone. We were debating whether this is more a son problem or mom problem. It's probably a combination of the two. But, Lisa asked Chuck if he could imagine doing something like this with his dad, the Bryster. And, you're going to want to watch Chuck's portrayal of how life would be if he was a "hub-son".
It starts with him driving his dad around town doing errands. Then, he is being yelled at for not doing dishes, or cleaning up the house. It would be a hard life for Chuck and one that he knows isn't for him to live.
