Max shatters the cubing world record

It is not Elijah. She's Andy Miss P and

that is a piece of candy. You take that. Yeah

Um What just happened? Uh Max just broke the world record. The atmosphere was electric

Um Everybody knew uh that he broke the record and I think uh partially everybody was in shock

Um It's a record that has been long standing since uh for 4.5 years by Yu Sheng Dus uh 347

I'm not sure anybody thought that that record was ever gonna be broken. The

the Cuban world. It's been uh just nothing short of a static

I think everybody was uh really uh waiting to see who was gonna break that uh three by 343 47 record

Um uh When Max did it, I, I think everybody was very, very happy for him

It, it's really exciting anytime anybody breaks a record. So, uh but for the three by three single is sort of like the

the, the creme de la creme uh when that gets broken. Uh I think the whole Cuban community uh knows

Um Additionally, I think a lot of people uh uh that aren't in the Cuban community were generally really surprised and

and very excited. A lot of Max's fans um from the Netflix documentary

Uh They all reached out, emailed him or texted him or very

very happy for him. Um A few people said that they even cried

Basically, Max's Cuban career started to help him with his fine motor skills because he had uh fine motor skill problems as a young kid

with autism when he was 789 years old. So he couldn't like hold pennies or he couldn't open up a water bottle mean he couldn't

do anything with his fingers. The cube itself was just something that was going to be an exercise

Oh, what is it? 31 2nd. OK. We found out about the Cuban community

We decided to go there and exploit the Cuban community for social reasons

So we could work on Max's social cues. The second competition he ever went to

he won the six by six, which really took us all by prize. When you actually see the final podium

there's these two guys that look like they're in college and here's a little Max, he's like literally 4 ft underneath them

The cubing actually being good at cubing or solving cubes or the competitive aspect was never a component for us to get max involved with
