cousin max
Okay, so I'm on my way to shoot a sweeps story yesterday, and I get a phone call from my mother:
Right away I called my girlfriend and had her throw a tape in her VCR at work. Then, I hauled ass to my interview and watched the last five minutes of the segment. And, it was TOTALLY MY COUSIN MAX. How weird is that? I haven't really talked to him in like seven years or something, but my mom reads us xmas cards from hi every year or so.
Anyway, I only caught like two minutes of the show and they kept talking about his "RAGE." My mind was totally blown when I found out that it was a follow-up show, and somehow I missed that whole thing the first time around. Here's the episode posting on Oprah's website.
I've always had fond memories of Cousin Max. He's actually my mom's cousin, and I was always follwing him around when I was 15. He was in his late twenties, and really cool. He was the DJ at my school dances, and would let me hang out with him at his radio station while he did his late-night show. It was so cool having a cousin that was a big town radio DJ - although it didn't really make me cool by default, since I still wore retarded Star trek t-shirts and pretended to talk in Klingon a lot.
But, I got to thinking back if there were any RAGE issues whith him at the time. The only thing that comes to mind was one time where he broke up with a woman in his apartment complex and she wouldn't return his calls. So, he wrote her a 24 page letter and plastered it all over her door. A bit extreme, but it didn't quite register at the time - I guess we just thought he was having a bad break-up or something - I don't know.
From what I saw on the show, it was all about his RAGE, and probably not-so-much physical abuse. I'm gonna go watch the tape now, and check the whole thing out.
So weird.
LL: hello?
MOM: hey. I was watching Oprah, and Max is one of the guests?
LL: What?
MOM: Cousin Max, he's on the Oprah show. I was just watching and...it's him. It's totally him. It says he's a radio DJ and his name is Max.
LL: really? I'm not near a TV right now. That's funny.
MOM: Well, it's not all that funny. I guess he's a wife beater or something.
LL: no way!
MOM: Yes way. It's him, it's totally him.
LL: Umm..okay...I'm gonna find a TV...bye.
MOM: it's totally him! bye.
