Max

Max is Psyche's second dog, introduced in the archive as a more reserved and masculine presence within Psyche's household. He appears briefly in Episode 1602 as part of a comedic exploration of the interpersonal dynamics between Psyche's two dogs.

Max enters the archive as a foil to Spencer's gregarious energy. In his single documented appearance, Max is presented as the more restrained member of Psyche's pack—described by the host in terms suggesting a contrasting temperament to Spencer's more openly affectionate behavior. The episode frames their interaction playfully, with Spencer's romantic or flirtatious advances meeting Max's reserved demeanor, creating a dynamic that Psyche uses to open the broadcast. Max's role, though minor, establishes him as an embodiment of a particular energy within Psyche's immediate environment: grounded, contained, resistant to the softer displays of connection that characterize Spencer's approach.

Max's primary documented relationship is with Spencer, Psyche's other dog, where he functions as the withdrawn counterpoint to Spencer's animated nature. Both exist within Psyche's domestic sphere and appear to serve as living metaphors or energetic mirrors that the host references when opening his broadcast. The dynamic between them—reserved versus effusive—suggests they may represent complementary principles within the household's symbolic landscape.
