B Mason Shut up mate it was 11 years ago.

[@kushlovetenent5478]

I don't think 11 years or any amount of years will ever take away the fact this brother was pounded 10 plus times in the face with a hammer. It's not the most conventional way to pass away is it? You imbecile, perhaps you should shut up. Mate.

[@touyang1687]

You can tell it sucked the life out of Max. Honestly, if you are going to ask a question like that, it should presented beforehand and not just thrown out of the blue.

[@kargs5krun]

was my first thought too; legit question to ask but def prep Max for it first. The other commenters here, have no clue re: legitimacy of it.

[@vonkasey8910]

They might have prepped him but I don’t think any amount of prep could have max comfortable with talking about it.

Super dick move. All for the sake of invoking an emotional response for his show. Very irresponsible thing to do.

I don't think he was trying to pull an emotional response. He mentioned that his wife went through it so it was kinda relevant.

Heavy Rollers7stSP He was murdered by a down on his luck boxer he was helping out. No good deed goes unpunished.

[@heavyrollers7stsp113]

Patrick Dukemajian crazy such a shame🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🙏🏿

[@acsrgaming9194]

Heavy Rollers7stSP *FULL STORY* There was this boxer (forgot his name) but he lost the fight and at the end when they were announcing the winner he ran up to his opponent and suckered punched him (dislocating his jaw and cutting his tongue open) so he was suspended from boxing and was locked up for a few months, and after that his career was on a rapid decline, to the point where he needed a place to stay. So Sam Kellerman helped him out, but after a few weeks he became a freeloader and when Sam threatened to evicted him the guy went crazy and beat him to death with a hammer and I think burned the house down because he plead guilty to arson and voluntary manslaugher... (He turned himself in and is now serving 29 years in jail)

It’s a stupid question to ask on air. Did u notice he put his head down and 273747474 goes thru your head. I lost my sister and dad n it’s hard to answer but he kept it cool and he said thanks for asking sarcastically. N dude compares his wife that lost someone like. That’s different. The guy obviously never lost anyone so close. U don’t ask those questions like that

[@royaleclark]

What’s worse about him asking is that he thought the date was closer than it really was. Why would ask somebody a question like that supposedly so soon and on an occasion like that? It was definitely out of place

"surely a man that successful" man man man i can't believe that dumb ass statement. you assume way too much of people simply because they chose a career that puts their lives under a microscope. the dude's brother was murdered in a horrific way. plain and simple. and the fact Rosenberg brings it up so abruptly and then disrespects the obvious sensitivity around it by going "what year was it, 2010? something like that?" like it's just a casual thing to talk about. Max corrects him, then says "when you say brother my mind goes..." and Rosenberg still continues. Rosenberg's a cunt for that and so are you and anyone who defends that sort of interviewing.

[@GreenEnvy.]

I'm sick of these middle aged guys thinking they're old as dirt. Dude, you're 36 and 42. You're both in your prime. Once your both in your 60's you'll laugh that you thought you were old in your late 30's and early 40's.

[@lolhahah21]

Yeah that's what is so scary man... if and when you're 90 years old, 40 years old will be 50 years ago! And you'll realize... wow that wasn't old.. I was actually young then... and of course your 20s will be 61-70 years ago and that'll be SO long ago. It's extremely scary. :( I am 29 years old right now.. and I'm not living in the moment and appreciating it and life is going by for me so fast now because of that. And I feel like wow me being 15 years old was so long ago... and now I'm 29. 15 is the past. It's terrifying to think that this moment, RIGHT NOW, that I'm living...will also be the EXTREME past many decades from now... so much so that, by then, "15 years old" and "29 years old" will feel like relatively the same time period!

I lost my younger brother when I was 18, he was 15 at the time. We were always close so I felt it when Max talked about this. Crazy thing is my name is Max too. Anyway yeah, it's tough because even years later, you don't even really remember who you were before it happened. It changes you and you never truly get over it. You just have to live on because life requires you to do so. Respect to Max, but this interviewer should've warned him ahead of time. That's not just a whatever subject. Especially considering the way it happened.

Max didn’t like or hate the question, he really just can’t hide the pain. Used to listen to him in LA radio for four plus years and he would talk about his brother randomly at times. Every time you could tell it took him to a dark place...

[@adegucci2k11]

Rosenberg played himself with that question.

[@ubifmcnew]

I wouldn’t say it sucked the life out of him. As Max said in his own words, “you say the word brother and my mind goes blank”. These guys are close enough so that he feels comfortable asking this question, and even prefaced it by saying he hadn’t talked with him immediately afterwords, and wished his condolences. Max wasn’t mad he asked, guaranteed; he got right back into full stride with his articulation.

[@seunstealth]

I would have to assume Rosenberg has never lost a close family member; otherwise he'd know not to ask about it or ask VERY CAREFULLY.
