The kid has balls of steel. He went up there full confidence and had the composure of a vet. Good interview.

He hit that shit on the head right!? Seems like a good kid. Young THEO, for-sho

This kid could play Theo in a show revolved around Theo’s childhood, and it would be such a hit 🔥

I am IMPRESSED at how well Maddox keeps up with Theo. This is good!

[@dbelladay123]

HE didn't skip a beat.

[@GoldenNakai17]

Theo is really that dude at the party that can literally spark up a conversation with anyone and everyone

[@jf5245]

It’s a gift that I wish I had!!

[@Philip_Taylor]

Literally spark up a conversation how? To set it on fire? What are you even trying to say?

That is why I love this man so much. I am the same way ❤

Exactly.

@@Philip_Taylorare you unfamiliar with the phrase, or just a troll? Jw

[@victoryshieldtacticalllc3534]

This kid is witty and rolls with Theo pretty effortlessly. Surprising based on how young he is, since some adults don’t even understand some of the subtleties of Theo’s humor.

[@xXcajunblazeXx]

Maybe having a younger mind makes him more open to different forms of comedy. My dad would never laugh at Theo, but I love him.

[@hobojungle1]

Theo proves yet again that he can kick it and have a good time with literally anyone.

[@bndzmrno]

Except Bill Burr

[@jayrock111]

Theo is a vibe, he literally can kick it with anybody, Maddox has crazy swag to be so young, composed, chill, confidence

[@InspectorButters4]

"I paid my $10 so im gonna dance!" 😂😂😂 That had me cracking up, this kid is a mini Theo 100%

[@MrBtad]

I was looking for this comment XD had me dying laughing

[@hankg6955]

How the F is this child so sharp and funny?? Future great entertainer and he's not even a teenager. Mad respect.

[@rogermontoya6350]

Theo the whole podcast not trying to say something that can get him locked up 😂

[@claudiapacheco9890]

Can’t believe he didn’t let a p diddy joke slide thru

[@2gunz122]

I was waiting the whole podcast for an inappropriate slip up but I'd say Theo did good... although that's probably why it was shorter than most, he knew he couldn't hold back 2-3 hours

[@Imcarsoncrabtree]

He said “that should be tattooed on somebody’s d-“

[@CarolineGant]

but ends it with "meeting chi;dren off of tiktok", i'm dead. thankfully we all know he's a good dude.

[@laurenlaflare]

The quote about children when he said “someone should get it tattooed on their d--“ 😂😂😂

[@Terry_Boyeer]

Theo: "I didn't even finish" Maddox: "Oh, nice. Awesome, yeah..." 😂

[@thelifeofcollinrs6030]

And he even laughed at him for not finishing

[@BexTDG]

Opening with “I don’t even know him” is crazy 😂

[@CassandraV-kl4hq]

I love how this kid has so much love and admiration he has for his Mom and Dad. He genuinely complements them and shows how much love and appreciation he has for them ❤ You don’t see that much these days. He’s also very well mannered saying, Sir to Theo, it was funny, yet shows that he’s respectful to others. I wish that this podcast was the same length as the others, or at least half of the usual time. They had such great chemistry.

[@temeekajones]

Didn't think I could admire or love Theo anymore than I already did. This episode is one of my favorites for sure. You can tell Theo is going to make an amazing dad someday...

[@ineedafernbackhere]

This kid will GO FAR IN LIFE. !! Man this episode is funny. Kudos to Theo for not swearing.

[@CezaMVO]

Correct me if im wrong, but other than Theo's nephews, Maddox is the youngest guest he's ever had. Their dynamic is so infectious, I was laughing & smiling the whole time. He's the mvp guest of the year

I thought most kids his age where clueless...this kid is on point, he's being raised good...Good job mom and dad.

[@AnimeRecksYou]

Most are, this boy is an outlier. He mentions several times how impactful and present both his parents are in his life. Most don’t have that

Holy moley this is like watching Theo and his son finally meet each other.

[@cozmoee]

@Txalcoirwomp womp

[@Valerie-co8th]

​@Txalcoirdude you're on every comment talking about Diddy. Good adults gotta be around kids to be role models/protect them. Like tf. Every interaction of a kid with an adult isnt a Diddy situation. Kids need adults. Shits crazy man. Theos never done anything to seem like he's unsafe. Diddy openly did for years and no one cared. Interviewing a kid on a set in front of hella people sitting in desperate seats ain't even close to abuse. As someone who was abused multiple times as a homeless teenager respectfully its annoying as fuck to call everything a spade so then all the real spades get overshadowed.

[@Tayme-fs3oy]

[@SunnyDallasRealtor]

The Internet has created a generation of kids who can tell stories as good as your drunk uncle, in the dive bar

[@SunnyDallasRealtor]

@BasedGod-ey5ee A real dive bar is the type that advanced alcoholics go to because the drinks are cheap. Often, they have cheap food. A lot of folks with little money rely on them. My hometown is full of them. I’ve never seen hipsters there but yes…I’ve seen that term thrown around a lot

[@OpalBees]

@BasedGod-ey5eeI think you’re misunderstanding something here… there are no $12 drinks at a dive bar lol. I come from an actual real small town, like one stop light type of place. In these places there will typically be the bar, and the dive bar. The people that go there typically wouldn’t call it that though (most people would just call a place by its name if you live there and are familiar with said establishment), and I think that’s where the confusion is coming from. Maybe the term has become recently overused, or you’re just hanging around especially annoying people.

“i dont know i didnt finish highschool” “oh nice aweseome yeah” “nit everyone finishes man” “you know thats fine all good then (laughs at theo)” Maddox im a fan now😂😂😂
