Traders and Haters with Big Daddy Max

Traders & Haters isn’t a podcast—it’s a fight-to-the-death coliseum for retail traders and trading influencers.

Hosted by Big Daddy Max and The Trading Lama, this no-holds-barred show pulls back the curtain on the trading world with unfiltered conversations, real market war stories, and zero respect for fake gurus. No scripts. No softballs. No PR answers.

Each episode is recorded in front of a live audience that reacts in real time—cheering wins, roasting bad takes, and calling out nonsense on the spot. If you can’t handle the truth, the crowd will make sure you hear it anyway.

Max and Lama sit down with heavyweights from Wall Street, prop firms, hedge funds, and the retail trenches to talk about what actually works, what blows accounts up, and what nobody wants to admit once the cameras are off. Expect raw opinions, hard lessons, brutal honesty, and plenty of laughs along the way.

This is trading culture without the polish:

• Real traders
• Real money
• Real egos
• Real consequences

If you’re looking for motivation posters and safe conversations, this isn’t it.

Traders & Haters is loud. It’s chaotic. It’s educational.

And the audience isn’t just watching—they’re part of the show.

Interested in voices who can shed light on the raw, unfiltered realities of trading, we're seeking seasoned Wall Street traders, hedge fund managers, and prop trading professionals who aren't afraid to share their unscripted market war stories and real opinions in front of a live, interactive audience.
