“Full disclosure, I’ve listened to the show for a couple of years and I haven’t financially contributed. So, maybe my opinion does not have much value… However, I just wanted to say that I was thrown off by Max’s snarkiness in episode #353. Max has always seemed to me like an even keeled, confident but not arrogant, wholeheartedly supportive mentor with sweet grandpa-like vibes that resonate through his voice. I’ve felt this way until this week when Max spent the entire cringy episode defending his actions to a listener who accused him of get-there-itis. It wasn’t what Max said in episode 353 (because it was very obvious that Max was in the right), it was how he said it. His tone seemed to show how offended he was by the accusation of being a hypocrite, instead of his normal “teaching moment” tone. Still giving 5 stars because the show is great, and this man has taught us all so much. I imagine it is incredibly difficult to always keep your cool when you’re a public figure. I just hope he loses the snark and brings back my favorite grandpa. Maybe that’ll be what encourages me to become a patron ;)”
