Max Koch Uncorked

Two nights this week my dog Malcolm had diarrhea. That’s two nights I lost sleep because I had to keep taking the poor little bugger down and out into the streets because I can’t have pug poo soup stinking up my condo and staining my Berber carpets (now don’t take me on about Berber, I agree, it sucks). […]

I was invited to call in tomorrow (9/17/2014) at 4:30 EST to the Anthony Cumia Show. You might know Cumia as a former cast member of the widely popular Opie & Anthony Show. And now, like a true maverick, he has branched out with his very own program, dictated by his terms. It’s quite an impressive enterprise, too. I […]

I did it! I did it! I really did it! I LEARNED iMOVIE!!! No, you don’t understand. This is a MAJOR breakthrough for me. Have I mentioned how lame I am at technology??  I’ve been TERRIFIED of learning a new editing program since I switched from PC to MAC. But I shot a fun video with […]

Counting down the leaves to September 23, the first day of autumn. Summer is still here and I hate it more than ever. Breaking local news alerts keep popping on my phone that an “intense” heat wave is about to broil our organs and roast our skins alive out here in the drought-stricken Southern California hellscape. It doesn’t […]

If you’re at all familiar with my F-level YouTube fame, you know me as the guy who did all those Tony Soprano tribute videos. “The Sopranos” is my favorite dramatic series of all time and it really killed me when the show ended in 2007. So part of the fun of those clips was trying to keep the […]

In a strident effort to become a little healthier at 44 years of age, I agreed to go on a Pressed Juicery cleanse this weekend with my wife. Of course I had to make a video document of the surreal, incommodious process, which you can witness HERE. Special thanks to my dear old friend Jen Paige for hooking […]

I love all monsters. Man-made, supernatural, mutant-hillbilly…vampires. Especially vampires. My garlic-adoring wife Nichole doesn’t do vampires. She does zombies. My friend Kari doesn’t do zombies. She does vampires. In this case, I suppose you could go ahead and declare Kari my Vampire Buddy. We watched “True Blood” together, suffered the “Twilight” movies together, caught a screening of Werner […]

Labor Day weekends are just not the same now that the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethons are no more. I grew up on those and I remember staying up all night to watch Jerry and Ed and Dean Martin and Don Rickles and Frank Sinatra and Tony Orlando and the Kasems all pretend they were sober […]

I’ll be honest here: I don’t make many new friends these days. Sadly, I’ve become very distrusting of people who act like they wanna get close to me and that’s a bad thing. But my new friend Marica Thomas, who I took a hosting class with earlier this year, is one I don’t appear to distrust. […]

So some how, some way, my wife managed to rope me AGAIN into attending a night of 80’s acts at the Greek Theatre.  A lotta my friends crack my nuts because they think I don’t feel burdened at ALL to patronize these bands and that I love ALL 80’s music because, of course, I came […]
