  Speaker 1: you know?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: That's fire.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Bro. And I was like, bro, I used to get
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: ready for dances like that.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Just getting excited.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Exactly. You know, I actually didn't get to go to
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the dance. And a lot of people don't know why.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: That's what I was going to ask you. Yeah, because
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: you said for a dance I don't even get to
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: go to.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, what happened? And I was like, yo, what?
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: All the comments. I went to the doctor once, right?
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: And I was at the doctor like sick, like sick, sick,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: right after I posted this video. And I was like sick.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: And I was walking into the doctor's office and two
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: different people were like, yo, Maddox, why didn't you go
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: to the dance? And I'm like, dude, I'm doubled over
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: right now. It's not the right time to be asking
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: this question. I was like.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I was actually sick. I was sick during the dance.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: It was like, it was like, yeah, right after I posted,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I did that video sick. Oh, wow. Yeah.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: So that was it. So the reason you didn't get
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: to go was just because you were ill.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. I've been ill a lot, bro. Like I've
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: gotten sick like six times in the winter. I don't
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: know if I'm just catching everything.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: You think it's genetics or something? Are your parents ill
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: a lot?
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Nah, not really. My dad is, but my mom has
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: type one diabetes. So like. Other than that, she's not exactly, bro.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Most people do.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, who doesn't? Yeah, if you even have half
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: a bag of Skittles, I feel like when you're a kid,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you get it.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I think, no, type 1 isn't like the
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: sugar stuff. Oh, it isn't? Type 1, you get like
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: diagnosed with it. She was like 19. Yeah.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I think there's type 1, 2, 3. I
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: don't know what some of the higher up ones.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: 6 or 7, I think, just means like you're a little,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: like you're just a real sweetie pie.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, type 6 diabetes might be your diabetes basics.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think type 6 just means... Are there more types? Bro,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: there's so many types.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, see, they don't label types. They don't label 3
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: through whatever because those are the crazy ones. They only
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: label the normal ones.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Most people, you kind of look like a Dalmatian, I think,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: a little.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Like you start getting dots all over you? Yeah. I
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: haven't seen that one yet.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's the real... That's the one when you start.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: That's the one you're just like, dang, I have Dalmatian diabetes.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? Like.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the one where, like, the neighbors start to, like,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: they start to honk at you if you, like, run.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: After their car. Yeah, and you start getting, like, dog instincts,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: and you start, like, picking up sticks, start pooping everywhere.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: You'll start catching a frisbee with your mouth. You're like, oh, wow,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: this guy has really, he has some high-grade diabetes.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Pick up your speed, you know, just all that good stuff.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Um, have you had, have you gone to a dance
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: before yet though?
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, no. I've gone to them, bro. They're,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: they're mad mid. I'm not gonna lie. I'm eighth grade,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: you know, still middle school. So it's kind of like boring.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: No one be dancing with each other. They just sit
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: there with their phones out every time.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm trying to dance, bro. I go there
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: like that. Why are they going to call it a
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: dance instead of like a phone gathering?
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I go there, they put on Bieber and I'm, I'm dancing, bro.

  Speaker 2: Me and my, me and my homie Joseph, we're dancing
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: every time. Sixth grade dance, everyone was looking at us crazy,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: filming me and stuff. And, you know, I was just
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: out there having a blast.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to do it.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I paid $ 10. I'm going to go in there and dance.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: And even if you're single, you pay $ 10 to go?
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Just for like a lonely tax or whatever?
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Exactly. They're just like, yo, Maddox, you don't have a girl,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: so I'm going to make you pay more money.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: So now I don't have a girl and I'm broke.

  Speaker 1: go to the dance, when the slow songs would come on, like,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I would go in the bathroom, and just to hide, like,

  Speaker 2: time I walk.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, really?
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: When he escaped the braces?
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Those little leg prisons or whatever they had him in? Exactly.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: The leg bars. Yeah, once Osgood, like, sinks back down.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Osgood.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Osgood, bro. He needs to soften up, bro. Once he
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: softens up, bro, I'm breaking free.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Bro, Osgood and Osgone. That's how Os is.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Exactly, bro.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's how Os is.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: But, yeah, that prevented me from playing ball, so I
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: had nothing else to do during that summer. So, you know,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: me and my dad started playing. music on TikTok live.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, yeah, I'm actually doing pretty good. I
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: have like 50,000 followers. But for me, I was like, yo,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: this is crazy.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: That's amazing.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Exactly. In like a month.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's exciting, man.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: And yeah. And what was that right there? It said
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: that Forrest Gump was maybe based on, although Forrest Gump
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: wasn't a real person.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Inspired.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: A high possibility he was partially inspired by veteran Sammy
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Lee Lewis.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Was he the guy who dressed you up for the dance?
• 12:06

• 14:15
  Speaker 2: in the studio, bro, I'm, like, locked. When I'm making
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: my music, I'm dialed in. But, like, other than that, bro, nah.

• 14:24
  Speaker 2: I can, bro. But I love it, bro. You know,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: I still love it. It's not, like, for the fact
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: I don't want to do it. Sometimes I just be lazy.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 14:32

  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Just going to throw that out there. She did not
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: teach us at all. She would just like, hey, do this.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: And if we didn't do it, we'd get like an F.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: And we're just like, bruh. You know? We don't know.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Get up here and teach us, bro. And she was strange, too.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: No, there's teachers sometimes that it's like, yeah, they don't even... Like,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: we had a... We had a woman that would keep, like, little...
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: She would do, like, little positive notes. And she had, like,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: a hair bun, like a big bun on her hair.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: And she would put these little positive notes into her hair.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: And you'd have to come up, like, during a certain
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: part of class and pick one out and read it
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: to the class or whatever.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's weird.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she was kind of like a wizard's wife or whatever.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think I've ever had that weird of
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: a teacher.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this lady was bananas, dude. And we had a lady...
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: That would eat frozen yogurt all day in her class.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: All day. And so she would keep going to the
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: teacher's lounge or whatever.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: And getting just more and more and more frozen yogurt. Mm-hmm.

  Speaker 2: Just frozen yogurt. And we're kids.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: You want some.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're just like, yo, give me some.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.

  Speaker 1: A lot of teachers are addicted.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Not a big frozen yogurt guy, bro.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: You're not a frozen yogurt guy?
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: No, bro. Give me some ice cream.

• 18:18
  Speaker 2: not trying to eat that, bro. Give me a Popsicle. Like, no. See,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: here's the difference. Frozen yogurt versus ice cream. Cream, ice cream,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: tends to have a higher fat content while frozen yogurt
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: contains more sugar. to hide its tangier taste. Oh, wow. Well,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: frozen yogurt, it's just like, it's like Adidas.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Ice cream is Nike. That's a good way to put it. Yeah.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: You know, like ice cream, Jordan. It's the goat. Frozen

• 21:53
  Speaker 2: live on a farm, like about an hour north of here. Yeah,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: I lived on that farm until I was seven. Then
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: I moved to Bama.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Okay.

  Speaker 2: going to choke.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly what we expected out of them.

  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah?

  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not out here selling your soul, you know?
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they figured that out after the fact that
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: I was literally just singing music. Right. And they're like, oh,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying?
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Well, I think it's popularity that scares people, you know?
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Fame can be real scary.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Fame can be scary.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Are there parts of being popular that feel scary to you,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: or are there parts that it just feels like you're
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: just learning the ropes, or what is it like?
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, people asking me for money, and I'm like, dog,
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: I don't have money. You know what I'm saying? Like,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: I make TikToks, bro. I make music. I ain't got
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: my paychecks in. I'm 14. I can't even get paychecks.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: My parents get those, and they're like, Yo, man, sell
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: me a 20. And I'm like, I don't have 20.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: That's in my lunch account, bro. Stop trying to exploit me, Dan.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Dad does not do that, by the way.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Great dad, by the way. That is a great guy, dude.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: He was a mandolin champion, too, I think in 90... 92?
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: I think. I don't know. I'd have to fact check.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: He was great back then, dude.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Legend.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: He was a legend, too. He was a high school wrestler, too,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: wasn't he?
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: No.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: He wasn't? No. Oh, I thought you told me that
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: he was. No.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: He played basketball.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, he played basketball.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's where I got it from. Yeah.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: And then you lost it, though.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I lost it. Whole dream's crushed. But
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: then after that, I was like, yo, am I really
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: going to make it to the league? You know, you
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: just have to accept that at a point. And I
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: said this on one of my videos, bro. I've heard
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: it's like two inches, especially with Osgood over there. Like,

  Speaker 1: Did you?
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's any videos of it, but yeah,
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: most definitely did, bro. Actually, like, funny story. I was
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: doing a wax museum at my school. You know what
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: those are? Where you're like, they tap the button, you
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: have to be someone. I was JFK. Okay.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Kind of a scary thing to make a kid be
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, but, you know, it started off
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: good for him.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Exactly, exactly. And then he was like, My teacher was like, yo,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: no one spend any money on this. Don't go overboard.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: My parents bought me a Brooks Brothers suit and tie.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: And I was, dude, if we all had the video, bro,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: this is fire. Like, I knew every word. Like, born Massachusetts. Like,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: I was dialed in.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: For JFK?
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: For JFK. Wow. Yeah. I didn't reenact it, though.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: You didn't?
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: No.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: That's good. Yeah. I think, yeah, you got to stay
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: within certain.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Bounds, you know? Second grade, my acting skills.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: I guess that's pretty much it. And I don't think
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: we have the budget for that either.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: No.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: My acting skills weren't there yet. Yeah.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's acting skills need to be there
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: for the end of JFK, bro.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: No.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Wow, you're crazy.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Hopefully not. Hopefully not.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: You got to get some help, but. Yeah. Do you
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: miss being at school? Is it kind of weird sometimes?
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: You don't?
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Nah, nah.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: I guess it's crazy to ask a 14-year-old, do you
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: miss being at school?
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no. I mean, yeah, you would expect me to
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: say no, but there's good reasons, because honestly, I wasn't
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: good at school. I mean, I was, but then I
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: low-key fell off. I don't know what happened, but I
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: went from a 93 in English to like a 60. Oh, wow.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: I fell off, bro. It's like. Jordan, I mean, Jordan
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: after he left the Bulls.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: That's how it felt like. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: I still cheered for him.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. He was the man. I wasn't alive, but, you know.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: I still tune in, though.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: I don't wish it at all.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: You don't?
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Mm-mm.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of what else were some things
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: we're going to talk about. Anything else that we wanted
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: to look at?
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: I'd like to know.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Who you consider locked in and not locked in.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: You like that word. Who's locked in right now?
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, or guess who's locked in on your playlist, man?
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: What do you mean?
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: I guess we talked about some artists that you like.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Do you think like you would maybe go on, because
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: you have to come out with more music, because right
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: now you have how many songs out?
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: One. wow singular yeah singular yeah.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Because people kept tagging us in videos together like you
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: guys reminds.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Me of you yeah exactly especially after the suit one
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: bro i was getting mad theobond comments yeah yeah i
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: was like yo for real and then he followed me
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: and i was like yo i was actually in the
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: studio and i ran around the studio like really slowly
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: yeah all right yeah my 40 times like 40.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: It's still hot.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. But, you know, I was pretty excited.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you ran the best of your ability around
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: the studio.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Exactly, exactly.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, thanks, bro.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dude.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just, yeah, people were like, these guys, it
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: reminds me of you maybe when you was a kid.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, I definitely remember getting ready
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: for a dance, you know. Yeah. But I would just
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: be so nervous. My back would always just, I would
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: see the girls and I would just like, and my
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: back would start sweating. And then I would have to
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: just go stand in the bathroom for a while.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, because you must have women just throwing rocks
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: at your window at night.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, it's pretty weird. I'm not going to lie. Like, yeah,
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: I got it at the beginning. I was like, yeah,
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: this is normal. But then eventually, like, I was starting
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: to get, like, a lot. If I had a P.O. box, bro,
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: I'm cooked. But I don't. But, like, if I did,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: I'm done.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think you can legally have one.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: No, but Dad can. Put it under his name.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, get it, Dan.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, get it.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Dan's just over there just reading mail from children all day.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Pretty weird messages, probably.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: But do people make you some nice things or anything
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: like that?
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they be drawing me and stuff. I'm like, y'all, thanks, y'all.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Thank y'all. I be seeing on the videos, like I
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: saw this video yesterday, this girl. was like crying. She
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: was like crying. I put, I put her on my story.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: That was it. And she just busted out in tears
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: and her mom was filming. I was like, yo, that's
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: what I do it for, bro.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, it made her day, huh?
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Exactly, man. I do it for the fans. That's like,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: that's the main reason. Oh yeah.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: I saw you stop by a woman's house, um, and
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: play some music for her.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir. It was, it was a very fun experience.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: It was actually my first time doing that, like meeting
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: fans and playing my songs before it came out. Shout
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: out Miss Hannah. Yeah.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: What's up Miss Hannah?
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Was that nerve wracking kind of? Yes, sir.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: It was honestly. I mean, I don't get nervous a
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: whole lot, but when I'm around my fans, I do.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Because once again, it's just like they're the reason I'm here.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: They're the reason I'm talking to you. They're the reason
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: I put out music. So, yeah.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: What do you think, people? Let me think about it.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: I think, for one, you're definitely funny. I realize that
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: even more sitting here with you.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Appreciate it.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, great energy. And I think moments like with a
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: dance or... with like talking to a young lady, like
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: those are things that a lot of people can relate to. Exactly.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Like when you were getting ready for the dance, even
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: if you weren't going, it took me back to all
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: the moments like, oh dude, I was at home. I
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: didn't even have anybody to go with. And I'm like,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: I'm just, cause then you get there and you're like, oh,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: it's just my same lane.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: But we just all smell better than that.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. We all put on the odor and act. Yeah.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, acts had come out hot, dude. And people were
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: doing all, people were drinking it. People were doing all
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: kinds of stuff.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Drinking Axe is devious work. I'm not going to lie.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: We'd be doing Axe bombs at my school. We'd open
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: up the locker and, like, throw it in. They open it,
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: and they're, like, cooked. All their papers are, like, drenched
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: in Axe. Just Axe?
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Everything they tear in smells like Axe. Yeah, exactly. Like, gosh,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: this D- is wearing deodorant? That seems a little wild.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Dude.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: At homeschool, do you get grades, or what do you
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: even— I don't know.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: I just be, like, I can, like, if I do
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: it through a, like, actual homeschool, like, system, I'll get, like,
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: grades and stuff. But, like, right now until the end
• 34:22

  Speaker 2: And you can, like, see, because I'm a little behind.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? I missed, like, 30 days
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: in the last nine weeks, you know. But, all right.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: So you're going to be going to summer school at home?

  Speaker 1: Okay, okay. So you get to help set the curriculum.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Okay. But still, you got to finish it all, right?
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: And is your mom, like, do you have to call
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: her Miss Batson? No.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Okay. No, I mean, I haven't taken it that far.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, I could, but, like, you know.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: I would.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, I would set the parameters, like, from.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: If your mom was teaching, you'd call her Miss Vaughn.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: No, you wouldn't.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: From 9 to 2 p.m. From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: you're Miss Vaughn. And if you get out of line,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: I'm calling the school board.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Who's the school board? Miss Vaughn Vaughn?
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Her?
• 35:20

• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Bring the paddle out, bro. You're cooked.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm doing. Dude, they used to paddle
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: us when I was in school, bro.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not allowed anymore. I'm not going to lie.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: You think it should bring it back?
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: No. You know, this is a topic that's crazy. I'm
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: not going to lie. With some of the kids in
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: my school, yes. With me, no. I don't need all that.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: I'd probably start crying in front of the girls and
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: my whole social life's ruined.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Your whole stele would be gone, huh? But also, since
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: you're out of school now, yeah, they should have it then. No.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: No. But you don't have to deal with it?
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, oh, oh, like at school still?
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Since I'm out there, yeah, sure, whatever. Do whatever you want. Like,
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: I'm out there, you know?
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this is definitely start really beating some kids.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: No, this is not allowed.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: And that's not what we're talking about today. So what
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: else do you think about, man? At your age, what
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: are some things that you think about right now? Like
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: what keeps you excited every day? What do you like
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: to do? Are there any hobbies? Give me a little
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: bit more. I just want to know a little bit
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: more about Maddox Batson.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Get out of here.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: You know, women. I'm just going to keep it a buck.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Them and then everything else. Women above music.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: You know? Wow. Sorry.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: You remind me of Morgan Wall actually. That was his answer.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Mini Morgan, bro. Morgan Bieber.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Is it hard to stay focused then?
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, people want to hear what you're going to do next.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: It is true, huh? I guess there becomes a point,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: because this doesn't happen for comedians. So for musicians, you
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: put out something, people get intrigued by it, and then
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, what are you going to do next?
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. It's crazy. Wow.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: So do you feel some pressure with that or not really?
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Not really. I try to not think about it, you
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying? So when the moment comes, I'll
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: think about it, and when I put out my song,
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: I'll think about it. But like, Like, right after I
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: put the song out, I'm not like, oh, when's my
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: next song? You know what I'm saying? If that makes sense.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. So, in the meantime, what else
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: do you do to kind of take up your time?
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: I'm a big gamer, bro. You are? Yeah, dude. You
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: like games?
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: I play Zelda right now on Switch. That's where I'm at.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: That's a pretty weird game. I'm not going to lie, dude.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fair.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: You're a weird guy, so I feel like... No offense,
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: by the way.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: No, I believe you.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? So, Zelda fits you.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: You look... Once again, he looks like Zelda. And he's
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: had three resemblances since I met him.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Elon Musk, Zelda, and Keith Whitley. Pretty broad. Wait, no, no.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Not Zelda, like the girl, but like the other main character.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: What's his name?
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, Link. Link is a little too, yeah, he's got
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: it together a little too much for me.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: So we don't know when the new music's going to happen,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: but we know it's on the way.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir. It is most definitely on the way. Yes, sir.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Been working. Been working pretty hard with some pretty cool people,
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: so I'm very excited for what's to come. Yes, sir.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: And what about some new dance? We're going to see

  Speaker 2: What's the next year ready to be? You know what
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: I was thinking?
• 38:29

  Speaker 1: Cut that out. Okay, you need to go back in time.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. That's what you got to do sometimes.
• 38:46

• 38:49
  Speaker 1: would do a reenactment of your Get Ready video. Have
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: people done a lot of those? A couple.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: I've actually seen a couple people like, doing stuff like
• 38:59

• 39:01
  Speaker 2: like that I impact people like that it's pretty cool.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah well it's fun I think it's exciting because people

• 39:10
  Speaker 1: or whatever you're kind of like you know you're kind
