Tucker Max

[ferretgod]

Me and my friends recently became fans of this guy. Anyone else read his book I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell or the movie of the same name? He just had a new book out in September called Assholes Finish First.

Anyway, just thought I'd see what other people think of him; like, love, or hate him?

I liked the movie, I wanna read the book but my favorites of his that I've literally spent hours reading are the stories on his website. I like how he's the person so many people wish they could be. I disagree with some of the stuff he does but I think people should try to follow his thing of doing what he wants to do. So many people these days are afraid to do things and be honest. This guy's not and I respect the hell out of that

I went to the University of Chicago a few years after he did, and the undergrad grapevine's hearsay believes he BSed a lot in his book "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell." I suspect he does the same on his website. Truthfulness of his exploits aside, he does a very good job of marketing himself and his persona, making a lot of money with it.

I'll just never understand the appeal of Tucker Max, though. I'm not sure if acting like a dick or glorifying the acting like a dick bothers me more.

A friend of mine and myself found his book when we went on a trip to Boston. Even though most of the stuff in there is hilarious, we quickly came to the conclusion that it was BS. The guy knows how to captivate an audience with words and it was fun to read bits and parts. Maybe some of it is true, maybe none of it is true, but I know not all of it is true. All in all, good bathroom material stuff right there. lol

I'm not saying waking up in dog shit is something to aspire to, I'm just saying people should aspire to having the courage to do as the please and not be afraid of what people think.

I personally think most if not all is true. It's not like what he writes in his book is about one crazy weekend. I've heard him say that it's an accumulation of 10 years of partying. Not to mention he says several times in his first book that he is right at the top of the bell curve when it comes to how much he's packing in his pants. I would think if he was gonna lie about anything it would be that. He also said in an interview that he isn't the craziest, or the coolest, or the funniest guy doing what he's doing. He was just smart enough to write it down.
