Max McDaniel

What’s your name and where do you live? 
Max McDaniel. Seattle.

When did you start listening to TBTL? How did you find the show
I met Luke at a football game in 2014 and decided to try a listen to the podcast he mentioned he hosted. Twelve years later I’m still listening daily, for some inexplicable reason. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

How would your friends describe you?
Their tallest friend. Most likely to try and 3D print you something, or bake you a scone.

What was your favorite cereal when you were a kid? Is it still your fav? 
I was allergic to anything with corn in it so I was limited to boring stuff. I longed for Honey Nut Cheerios and Special K Red Berry. They still hit home, but not so much of a cereal guy these days.

What food do you love to eat the most of?
Burritos. Multiple per day, if possible.

What’s the best or worst nickname you ever had?
In high school I was called Big Max to differentiate myself from my best friend who was also named Max. You’d think he could have at least been Little Max!

If you could play one song on TBTL, what would it be? 
Even Flow by Pearl Jam as sung by Opera Man from SNL

What’s a special skill that you have?
Empathy and compassion.

What’s a special skill that you wish you had?
Playing the piano.

If you were driving down the street and you saw Luke and Andrew on the sidewalk, what would you yell at them as you drove past?
“Keep up the good work!”
