thanks for having me guys! this was genuinely like my version of going on Jimmy Kimmel!
-
Big daddy Fosho dropping gems, loved this convo gents
-
I would love to see Max in a Taskmaster season
-
I guess I'm "The Crocs Glove Guy" 😆
-
Max is so criminally underrated, and also very silly. I never skip an upload.
-
Max is one of the few creators that can upload a video and be very sure that no one has done anything like it before
-
I say this as a matter of FACT... Max Fosh is the UK's Greatest YouTuber 👏
-
Max is one of the most creative minds on YouTube. Knew it was only a matter of time before you guys interviewed this man!
-
This was literally a therapy session - one of my favorite episodes to date, I loved the back and forth between joking and real talk. Thank you C&S + Max for making this!
-
In true Max Fosh fashion: “I Interviewed the YouTube interviewers.”
-
Max talking about this struggles with being able to value himself other than from numbers and Samir talking about his growth was amazing to listen to
-
I click on Max’s videos because of the idea. I watch them because of his personality. If he stopped doing pranks I’d still click on his videos because I know he’ll do something super creative in whatever genre he takes on.
-
Really loved this episode! Max brings a very unique presence to Youtube. Such a great conversation
-
I feel Max's strength is also how, despite his sillyness, he feels so normal and genuine. He's the kind of guy you would want to hang out with.
-
Almost 2 hours of Max? Sign me up! He seems like such a genuinely fun and great guy, I can’t wait to see this little peek into him.
-
One of the most interesting shows you've had. I think Max isn't getting enough credit in the YT community.
-
This is a collab i have been waiting a long time for! super excited to watch!
-
Max is so good at thinking outside the box, it’s incredible. I laugh every time I see his newest idea, he’s a genius
-
Max is just a very likeable guy he deserves the success
-
