That's fire. bro and i was like bro i used to get ready for dances like that yeah you know getting excited exactly you know i actually didn't get to go to the dance and a lot of people don't know why that's what i was gonna ask you what we have because you said for a dance i don't even get to go to and i'm like yeah and i was like yo what all the comments like i went to the doctor once right and i was i was at the doctor like sick like sick sick right after i posted this video and I was like sick and I and I was walking into the doctor's office and two different people were like yo Maddox why didn't you go to the dance and I'm like dude I'm doubled over right now it's not the right time to be asking this question I was like yeah man I was actually sick I was sick during the dance it was like it was like yeah right after I posted I did that video sick oh wow yeah so that was it so the reason you didn't get to go was just because you were ill yeah exactly I've been ill a lot bro like I've gotten sick like six times in the winter I don't know if I'm just catching everything.

2:27You think it's genetics or something? Are your parents ill a lot? Nah, not really. My dad is, but my mom has type 1 diabetes. Who doesn't? Exactly, bro. Most people do. I mean, who doesn't? Yeah, if you even have half a bag of Skittles, I feel like when you're a kid, you get it. Yeah, yeah. Well, I think, no, type 1 isn't like the sugar stuff. Oh, it isn't? Type 1, you get diagnosed with. She was like 19. Yeah. Yeah, because I think there's type 1, 2, 3, I don't know what some of the higher up ones. Yeah. Six or seven, I think, just means like you're just a real sweetie pie. Yeah, type six diabetes might be diabetes basics.

3:03Yeah, I think type six just means... Are there more types? Bro, there's so many types. Yeah, see, they don't label three through whatever because those are the crazy ones. They only label the normal ones. Most people do. You kind of look like a Dalmatian, I think, a little. Like you start getting dots all over you? Yeah. I haven't seen that one yet. Oh, that's the real, that's the one when you start to. That's the one you're just like, dang, I have Dalmatian diabetes. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, that's the one where the neighbors start to honk at you if you run after their car. Yeah, and you start getting dog instincts and you start picking up sticks, start pooping everywhere.

3:46You'll start catching a Frisbee with your mouth. they're like oh wow this guy has really he has some high grade diabetes yeah you know just all that um have you had have you gone to a dance before yet though yeah no no i've gone to them bro they're they're mad mid i'm not gonna lie i'm eighth grade you know still middle school so it's kind of like boring no one be dancing with each other they just sit there with their phones out and every time really you know i'm trying to dance bro yeah i go there like that why are they gonna call it a dance instead of like a phone gathering you know what i'm saying yeah i go there they put on bieber and i'm dancing bro you're me and my me and my homie joseph we're dancing every time sixth grade dance everyone was looking at us crazy filming me and stuff and you know i was just out there having a blast yeah you got to do it i paid ten dollars i'm gonna go in there and dance you know what i'm saying and even if you're single you pay ten dollars to go yeah exactly i didn't even have a girl yet exactly they're just like yo maddox you don't have a girl so i'm gonna make you pay more money.

4:42So now I don't have a girl and I'm broke. I lost my entire allowance and I don't have a girlfriend, bro. Dang, bro, they really be cracking y 'all up. Tragic, bro. And, bro, I used to get so nervous when I'd go to the dance when the slow songs would come on. I would go in the bathroom and just to hide. I was so nervous of girls. I would be that far away from them. I would be in the bathroom. Nah, I'm a girl guy, bro. I am too, but at the time I was too nervous. Oh, yeah, yeah, like sixth grade, bro, until like the end of the year, bro, I was not having girls, bro. But yeah, but right at the end, I was like, yo, these girls are, you know, they're pretty cool, I guess.

5:19Yeah. You know what I'm saying? That's all you got to think, yeah. Exactly. As long as your mind's right, you're right. Yeah. Exactly. Damn, all right. But yeah, we get so nervous, dude. And then one time, this guy that lived across the street, his grandfather, like my dad didn't live with us and my mom was always gone. And so like his grandpa helped me get ready for the dance at our school. And he like was in the war or something. So he put me in like all of his like military like attire. Nice. So you're like walking in like, yeah, I'm a sergeant. Get a discount. Military discount. I showed up.

5:56I showed up to an eighth grade dance. Literally like walking in like this, bro. And people were like, what? You're not in any military. Dude, you can't even run that path. Yeah you wouldn't even pass the physical Yeah your 40's bad bro But yeah it was just so embarrassing But I wore it all because I just didn't know And you told me it was right Yeah exactly you didn't know What other dances have you gone to Have you gone to like Sadie Hawkins Do you guys have like Sadie Hawkins or anything like that I don't even know what that is bro It's where the girls ask the guys Oh no Never had one of those You know like I only went to one right because one was my sixth grade year i actually went to that one and had this crush on this girl i didn't ask her out though she wasn't my girl yet but i was like i was like yo so did you see her at the dance yeah and i was like i was like yo and but it was not it bro i did not i did not have game like i thought i had game you were like 200 feet away yeah i'm sitting on the other side of the cafeteria eating my pizza i'm trying to talk to her like texting her yeah yeah i'm like yo where you at and i'm looking dead at her but yeah it's pretty pretty funny bro that's hilarious yeah that's how nervous i used to get exactly and um and so you never got to go so when's the next dance do you have another dance coming up or what's it look like they're always at the end of the year so like we've already had ours and that's what i missed oh yeah yeah bro it's pretty tragic dude i missed it last year too seventh and eighth grade bro I'm going to have to wait until, like, what?

All right, bro. All right, bro. But what, yeah, there's, why didn't you go to the other one, though? Why didn't you go last year? Oh, I was actually filming a commercial, bro. Oh, you were? Shout out Rooms to Go. If you're watching any Rooms to Go commercial on your TV right now, you get, like, an ad of this, like, podcast. That might be me. You might see me bouncing on the bed, top right corner. Yep. About 36 seconds in, too.

8:02Really? Yeah, dude. So you've been an actress. You were acting and doing a lot of stuff like that for a long time. Yes, bro. Before I started singing, like, I started singing, like, young age. My parents, both of my parents, like, singing stuff. But I started acting, like, six. Like, right when I moved to Alabama, right? I started acting, and I was, like, getting into plays and stuff. I was Simba in The Lion King. Were you really? Yeah. Funny story. I was third grade. and young Simba was like fifth grade and he was like way taller, way bigger. And I was adult Simba and it just made no sense at all.

8:33But, you know, got the job done. I guess I was just a better actor. And you were so you had. Oh, there you are right there. Boom, bro. That's in. Wow. Dude, look at them pigs. Whoa. That one looks like a perp right there. Go back to the other one. The other one looks like a low key Trank dealer, dude. dude uh okay no shade bro no shade it's good okay yeah no it's really good yo my mom my mom my mom used to put me in them high and tight hairstyles bro I look like I'm staring into the stole soul of anyone who's looking at me bro that is bad that one looks like somebody just climbed up out of a wishing well it looks like but really cool though definitely it's like that is a vibe bro whoever just pulled this up you did me dirty dude like you're doing me wrong man I don't know yeah we You know, whoever's doing that, I don't know who's doing that.

9:20But look, no, actually go back to it real quick. Look, you can say theater, best Christmas pageant ever. You probably don't know what that is, but it was a pretty big play. Wizard of Oz, you know, Lion King Jr. I wasn't in Broadway. If I was going to be Aladdin and then COVID hit and I just, I fell off acting. And then music kind of has just like blasted off for you recently. Yeah, dude, it was actually super crazy. So I'm a baller. I play basketball and baseball. Yeah, I saw some of your highlights on YouTube. I'm him, bro. Yeah, I like that. You need to put some other highlights up. Should I?

9:54Yeah. Should I? I was just going to say. The ones you have are good. Yeah. The jumper, yeah, I love this, like, about. Bro, that was sixth grade me, bro. That's what I'm saying. No, no, no. You've definitely been watching, like, the wrong highlights. Really? Yeah, you've been watching, like, third grade Maddox. I was still cooking, but, like, that's not it, bro. But, like, I actually got, like, this knee disorder in both of my knees, and that's why I, like, couldn't play ball no more. and like it's called osgood slaughters disease what is that i was good same for real like when i heard it i was like who names their child osgood and who had that like poor guy your name's osgood and you have a disease like you're cooked and first of all how can i even tell people i have exactly every time i'm like should i really tell them i just say i have a knee thing you see osgood slaughters disease it's like some bone sticks up out of my kneecap wow it's pretty pretty strange, man.

10:46So you're like a real you're like a base now. Yeah. I can't move most. Yeah. It's pretty bad, bro. I'm like walking around like, you know, like you watch Schwarzkopf. Yeah. You know how he had like the knee braces like he couldn't move. It's not based on a true story. You know that? For real? Yeah. It's not. It's not? No. Dang, I'm actually really sad about it. Is it actually? It's not. Dude, Alabama has nothing. Little Todd Willie you have. He's all right, you know. But, you know, you ever see him before he had his knee braces off? That's what I feel like every time I walk. Oh, really? When he escaped the braces?

11:30Yeah, exactly. Those little leg prisons or whatever they had to mean? Exactly. The leg bars. Yeah, once Osgood, like, sinks back down. Osgood. Osgood, bro. He needs to soften up, bro. Bro, once he softens up, bro, I'm breaking free. Bro, I was good and I was gone. That's how I was. Exactly, bro. Oh, that's how I was. But yeah, that prevented me from playing ball, so I had nothing else to do during that summer. So, you know, me and my dad started playing music on TikTok Live. And I'm like, yeah, I'm actually doing pretty good. I had like 50 ,000 followers. But for me, I was like, yo, this is crazy.

12:04That's amazing, man. Exactly, in like a month. Yeah, that's exciting, man. Exactly. And yeah, and what was that right there? said that Forrest Gump was maybe based on, although Forrest Gump wasn't a real person. Inspired. A high possibility he was partially inspired by veteran Sammy Lee Lewis. Was he the guy who dressed you up for the dance? Yeah. He probably was. Yeah. Nice. If music doesn't work out, you have a future in being my co-host. There we go, bro. We're dialed in. No joke. Yeah, Sammy Lee Lewis. That was me going to prom. That was my haberdasher. That was my fit god. Dude, did you have – Oh, he had me all souped up, dude.

12:44Like bubblegum strip patches. Yeah, I had like a purple heart. And then I had like a – yeah, I had like a discount. Yo, make sure I get my discount. Still had to pay$10, bro. So what's it been like at home? Because your life has probably started to change some. Yeah, for real. So what does that kind of feel like and what is that – has it been scary or kind of like what's that seem like? You know, the home life, I try to get it as much as I can. Like when I'm home with both of my parents at the same time, we try to slow it down and all that stuff. But yeah, it's pretty cool. I mean, I love the music stuff, but I just try to stay down to earth for most times when I'm with my parents.

13:28Yeah, because they're still your parents. I mean, they make a lot of the rules and everything. Exactly, bro. They're the ones who birthed me. So without them, yeah, I wouldn't be here talking to you right now. So shout out to mom and dad if you're watching. bro. Y 'all made a great son.

13:44I gotta do that. Hey, shout out, Mom. You made a great son. Yeah, shout out Miss Vaughn. Yeah, shout out Miss Vaughn, dude. She's dialed in. She's totally dialed in, dude. My mom works for Amazon. What does your mom do? My mom with the diabetes, she don't work. Oh, she doesn't? No, no, no. My dad, he does operations, stuff like that. He runs the entire plant or two plants or something. I don't know. He's like a foreman kind of? I don't know what that is. Like a man, I think, that runs something, basically? Yeah, he's a foreman. My dad's a foreman. Hard worker, man. I think I've watched him miss one day of work his entire life.

14:21Wow. My entire life, it's crazy, bro. He's always gone. And are you similar to him? Whose characteristics do you have? So in some ways, I'm dialed in. When I'm in the studio, bro, I'm locked. When I'm making my music, I'm dialed in. But other than that, bro, no. I'm trying to get out of it as much as I can, bro. Yeah. But I love it, bro. You know, I still love it. It's not like for the fact I don't want to do it. Sometimes I just be lazy. You know what I'm saying? Oh, yeah. Exactly. And you're at the age where you can be lazy. Exactly. I'm only 14, man. Yeah. If you can't be lazy, then why be alive?

14:57Exactly. You know what I'm saying? Exactly. Exactly. I just have to take a minute, man. You're 100 % right. You know, I'm 14 years old. if I don't take time to be a kid how will I be a kid? Wise words. Put that on a shirt, dude. I swear. Put that, yeah. Tattoo that on somebody's. That'll be my first tattoo. Yeah, man. Yeah, I think sometimes because things can happen so things get going so fast. Yeah. What about at school? Can you still go to school or what's that kind of like? Nah, it's crazy, bro. Like, uh. So were you going to school? I was. I was. Yeah, and then. And what classes were you in?

15:31Were you in. No, I had like all the core classes. You know what I'm saying? Okay. Like, you know. English math I hated English bro I'm just gonna give it a buck bro I was not good I was cooked really because you speak it pretty well I know I'm trying bro but like they be doing some like non-English English you know what I'm saying like who cares if I can diagram eight sentences in a minute you know what I'm saying and then I get a D and I'm just like you know what I'm saying I don't need to do all that I'm talking pretty fast yeah the guy's good I think I think they should ask your friends can this guy speak English or not yeah exactly that's the final exam Can you say a sentence?

16:07If you can't, bro, sorry. That's okay. You still get a C. You still get a C. Yeah. You'll still make it. So what happened over there? Did you have to just take a break from it? No, I'm homeschooled now. Oh, you are? I'm straight up homeschooled. I got taken out, yeah. But it was just for my career, and I just wanted to. It's just something I felt like was the right decision to do. I'm ready for it, bro. I'm very excited about my career, and that's why I did it. I just want to keep it to music. Does your mom teach you at home? Yeah. Yeah, she's at home school. She's pretty smart, bro. She don't give herself credit, but, dude, she's once again dialed in.

16:44She's dialed in on this teaching stuff. Some teachers aren't that good. No. No, I actually had one. You did? I can't. Yeah, let's go. Name her Miss Rug. Okay. Shout out to the rug below me. Name her Miss Rug. and Miss Rug, dude, she was strange. Like, she wouldn't teach us. Oh, yeah. Just gonna throw that out there. She did not teach us at all. She would just like, hey, do this, and if we didn't do it, we'd get like an F. And we're just like, bruh, you know? We don't know. Get up here and teach us, bro. And she was strange, too. No, there's teachers sometimes that it's like, yeah, they don't even, like, we had a woman that would keep like little, she would do like little positive notes and she had like a hair bun, like a big bun on her hair and she would put these little positive notes into her hair and you'd have to come up like during a certain part of class and pick one out and read it to the class or whatever.

17:43Yeah, that's weird. Yeah, she was kind of like a wizard's wife or whatever. Yeah, I don't think I've ever had that weird of a teacher. Yeah, this lady was bananas, dude. And we had a lady that would eat frozen yogurt all day in her class. All day. And so she would keep going to the teacher's lounge or whatever. Yeah. And getting just more and more and more frozen yogurt. Mm-hmm. And just keep having it. Just frozen yogurt. And we're kids, you want some. Yeah, you're just like, yo, give me some. Yeah. Fiends. Fiends. A lot of teachers are addicted. Not a big frozen yogurt guy, bro. You're not a frozen yogurt guy?

18:15Yeah, bro. Give me some ice cream. Yeah? Yeah. Big cow guy, not whatever frozen yogurt is made out of. Dude. Probably cows, too. I don't know. Bro, I doubt it. Yeah, I doubt it. And if they start pulling yogurt out of something, I'm out of here. Yeah, exactly. Like, my nan will be coming up to me, yo, Max, you want a yogurt cup? And I'm like, nah. I'm not trying to eat that, bro. Give me a popsicle. Like, no. See, here's the difference. Frozen yogurt versus ice cream. Cream, ice cream, tends to have a higher fat content, while frozen yogurt contains more sugar to hide its tangier taste. Oh, wow.

18:49Well, frozen yogurt, it's just like, it's like, it's like Adidas. Yeah. Ice cream is Nike. That's a good way to put it. Yeah. You know, like ice cream, Jordan. It's the goat. Frozen yogurt is like Charles Barkley. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Oh, yeah. I feel you 100%, man. Do you, yeah, like when you think about music next, like what does it kind of look like for you? Because you have your song right now, Tears in a River, that people are really digging. Make sure I go stream it, by the way. I see you playing it for people and playing it for people that are really big fans of yours and stuff like that.

19:21Yeah, exactly. It's real special, man. Yes, sir. Thank you. And so what is that? Yeah, because how do you put an album together now so you just start creating new songs? No, man, bro. I probably got like 30 songs. Really? Just in the vault. Uh-uh. Not even recorded, just written out. But you've written? Yeah. My dad's a writer, too. Wrote for the newspaper. He did? Yeah. Fun fact. Fun fact. This guy cannot spell. My dad cannot spell worth a lick. And he wouldn't read after he wrote them, and then he would publish them. My mom's reading it just like, Dan, bro, eight misspells today. Your dad's got freaking Rita Beatty's it sounds like.

19:58Rita Beatty's. He's got glasses, bro, he's cross-eyed. You'll be looking at him, and then he's looking over here, and you're just like, dude, where are you at? That's awesome. He probably couldn't see the words. Oh, yeah, half my family's cross-eyed, dude. It's awesome. Nice, nice. Oh, it gets pretty crazy, yeah. You'll be looking at him just like, dude, are you hot? But love dad, though. Oh, yeah. Good writer, good music. Yeah, love you, dad. Shout out Dan. Shout out Dan. Shout out Dan. Exactly. But yeah, he's written a lot of songs. He actually did what I'm doing like 30 years ago. Really? Mm-hmm.

20:30Oh, wow. It was like 18, 19, moved to Nashville. Nuh-uh. Yeah. It's almost like this has been in your genes kind of to - Exactly. Yes, sir. He was like, he introduced me to music when I was a kid. He did? Yes, sir. Wow. Yeah. Grew up on it. Do you remember like the first show y 'all ever went to? First show, I think I remember I went to a bluegrass festival, bro. He played bluegrass. He was like, he won the - He was a picker? Yeah, exactly. He won the Mandolin National Championship back in 92, bro. Your father did? Yep. Shout out Dan Batts. Exactly, bro. Name on a plaque and everything. Uh-uh.

21:01If you know who Bill Monroe is. Yeah, yeah, I know who Bill Monroe is. Yeah, he played with him. He played with him like three times. It's crazy. Yeah, Dan's the man. Dan the man. Dude, so Dan was pretty prolific then. He did sound like he did a good bit. Exactly, bro. He was famous in the bluegrass, you know, industry. And then he, like, fell off after age 13. So, you know, short-lived career. Age 13, you know? Yeah. Bro started smoking at 13. Oh, that'll do it. Yeah, things can go downhill fast. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, we just had a guy, Billy Strings, in here. Yeah, dude. And he's a great. He's sick.

21:34He's sick, man. And so that was really, it was really cool just to talk with him and learn about what he likes to do. I went fishing with him this weekend, actually. Oh, that's sick. Yeah, so you're a big fisherman. It's fun, man. Yeah. I like going. Yeah. It's just like, I wish I had more time to go sometimes because of doing comedy and stuff. I'm on the road, but I'm going to try to keep making more time. Yeah. Fishing's fun. I'm a big hunting guy. Really? I like hunting with my papa. Yeah. Big hunt. So who's that? Your grandfather? Yeah. Nice. Man and papa. Are they cool? Yeah. They're pretty cool.

22:04Where do they live at? Well, I was talking about this farm earlier. I used to live on a farm, like about an hour north of here. Yeah. Yeah, I live on that farm until I was seven, then I moved to Bama. Okay. But we lived, for real, right next to each other. Oh, nice. Like, within, like, me to you. Dang. Yeah, pretty crazy. That's beautiful, man. Exactly, man. And how do your grandparents feel about your new... At first, they were, like, pretty skeptical because, you know, they're grandparents. They're not going to, like, you know... Yeah, they're skeptical, and they should be. Exactly. That's what we expected.

22:38That's what we expected out of Nana and Papa, right? and then oh my god I'm a joke yeah that's exactly what we expected out of them yeah exactly and then a couple months down the road they start seeing that it's like the people I'm working with more trustworthy they start like they met they met the people I'm working with today yeah like literally today oh yeah today yeah so they started feeling better about it yeah and they're like oh okay he's not like you know you know like yeah you're not they're not out here selling your soul you know yeah Yeah, and they figured that out after the fact that I was literally just singing music.

23:15Right. And they're like, oh, you know what I'm saying? Well, I think it's popularity that scares people, you know? Fame can be real scary. Exactly. Fame can be scary. Are there parts of being popular that feel scary to you, or are there parts that it just feels like you're just learning the ropes, or what is it like? Yeah, people asking me for money, and I'm like, dog, I don't have money. You know what I'm saying? Like, I make TikToks, bro. I make music. I ain't got my paychecks in. I'm 14. I can't even get paychecks. My parents get those. And they're like, yo, man, you sold me a 20. And I'm like, I don't have 20.

23:46That's in my lunch account, bro. Stop trying to exploit me, Dan. Dad does not do that, by the way. Great dad, by the way. That is a great guy, dude. He's a mandolin champion, too, I think in 90. 92? 92. I don't know. I have to fact check. He was great back then, dude. Yeah. Legend. He was a legend, too. He was a high school wrestler, too, wasn't he? No. He wasn't? No. Oh, I thought you told me what it was. No, he played basketball. Oh, he played basketball. Yeah, that's where I got it from. And then you lost it, though. Yeah, and then I lost it. Whole dreams crushed. But then after that, I was like, yo, am I really going to make it into the league?

24:22You know, you just have to accept that at a point. And I said this on one of my videos, bro. I've heard it's like two inches, especially with Osgood over there. Like, he's restricting me. Oh, no. Turn this off, bro. Ain't no way. This is you? Yeah. This feels illegal to watch. I don't even think I can watch this on YouTube. No, you can't. Oh, here you go right here, dude.
