Max B: Thank you, beloved. The one and only. 

So let’s get started. You came home Nov. 9, right? French’s birthday, and you went straight to the Jets game. Can you kind of talk about why you were at the you were, like, on the field and everything. 

Well, that was kind of like one of the signs where I knew I was, it was, I was like, the come out was gonna be impactful. So it just so happens I’m a Jet fan, anyway. 

OK, all right. 

So, you know, we needed to win. You know, it all ran good company that day. We wanted to win. And I wanted to, you know, finally meet Shedeur Sanders. So it was love, one of the fun days I’ll remember for a long time, very long time.

So how crazy was it, though, when you was on the field and you saw Method Man taking pictures?

I thought he found some type of loopholes. I said, “You don’t found some loopholes to the game.” And I’m like, “OK, do they let the guys take, you know, maybe you need some type of little photo, the little, you know?”

Yeah, like, he’s, like– 

And they gonna give you a job, a volunteer, doing some photo. You be caught sight sidelined the game. You get to see all the players. You get, like, that’s some official s–t. So it was good shout-out to Meth, yo, because I been a Method fan forever. So to see him like that on that in that circumstance, it was just like, I knew the day was just beginning. I’m like, it’s gonna get more exciting.
