Thanks for having me on the show brother! - MAX

[@EL-ws1fs]

I know for a fact you won't see this but you were perfect for Burn It. Your voice is incredible and full of emotion, complementing Yoongi's so well - honestly it is one of my favourite songs on the album. It was 100% worth the wait!! 💜

[@simi23]

tysm for sharing this, you're so sweet and friendly and your friendship with yoongi is so cute and precious. burn it is amazing!! i'm so glad this collab could take place

[@umida2558]

tysm. I loved your voice in burn it. I hope to see more future collaborations with bts❤💜

[@rubiperez1871]

If you ever read this.. just out of curiosity when you hung out with Yoongi, did y’all have a translator with you ? Or were y’all communicating in some other way ? Much love ❤️

[@kiannagriffin6631]

Thank you for being a genuine friend to our boy and making a great song together

[@emilyyang7960]

Am I the only one who didn’t know about Eric and yoongi’s adorable friendship and freaking out???

[@day_saram]

I didn't know either! And now I'm reading through the comments and I'm like damn how can I love both these artists but I've never known they were actually friends

[@crescent_8668]

I feel you!!! Like am I missing half of my life for not knowing this? Hahaha that's too much but yeah- 😅 *looking for all vids with BTS & Eric interactions 😂

[@dieseangi]

Well, I think Eric is basically with all of them pretty good friends but they don't show it off

[@KentaXX]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3fLln5qqK2ng6M

[@secretarmy1764]

Eric is basically like a big brother to BTS. He has been such a big fan of there since their debut, and throughout these podcasts you can hear him talk about his love for the boys. I always assumed that they were friends, but this just confirms it.

[@nobreadnojam]

the fact that male musicians have to COURT Suga

[@Sana-jk7jm]

They need to prove that they are worthy 😂

Yoongi said Female supremacy

[@kiannagriffin6631]

Yoongi said "I don't collaborate on the first date" 😂

[@msKaiAnna]

@@kiannagriffin6631 😂😂😂😭 this comment took me out

[@aznsweety]

I'm so glad Yoongi has a genuine friend like Max. When Yoongi talked about not having a lot of friends, I was sad for him. It's really nice that Max shares a love of basketball and took Yoongi to the game which honored Kobe Bryant. A special memory. Max's voice is perfect for "Burn It." I hope they stay good friends for a long time. And Eric, you have the best personality. I'm also glad the boys have a true friend like you.

[@KiahRenamae]

carmoa 0707 pretty sure he had a translator with him 😂

[@ColinNguyen]

@@KiahRenamae I'm sure Yoongi can hear and understand English. He's just not a fluent speaker but he can definitely say simple sentences that MAX could understand :)

[@prodsuga9482]

I'm so happy for him I swear

[@ILovePlayingZeldaGamesOnSwitch]

I could feel Max's sincerity towards Yoongi and Yoongi to Max too. Burn it is in my top 3 faves in D-2,his voice is perfect for it! And Eric is such a good listener.

[@ILovePlayingZeldaGamesOnSwitch]

@carmoa 0707 he went with an interpreter. Yoongi can understand english but doesn't speak much of it

[@twice8091]

Imagine going to a basketball game with Yoongi, my life would be so complete

[@takumis8613]

Lmao I play basketball I would wanna play with him one of my dreams

[@samanthachowdhury2928]

tbh I would give up in sec T-T if I had to play with Yoongi

[@jdcv17]

Not to mention that the game they attended was Kobe Bryant's tribute game. Wow!

[@twice8091]

“Who has the power to make it #1 in their country by just singing it” our kings that’s who

What song please

[@sawnlee8873]

I’m sorry but can someone explain me what’s he taking about with that? Did jk sing a Max’s song?

[@seokjinnie.]

@@sawnlee8873 yes he sang it on a live then everybody listen to it an then it was no 1 on korea

[@1anna1]

So basically max and Yoongi went on a dream date. They went to a basketball game, something both enjoy, then they went to have dinner, food is always good, and then they ended up working together. No words...

[@michalg9438]

And I wonder in which language they talk hahhahaha. PD: I am not a english speaker, sorry for my bad writing.

[@shepardcommander5174]

I'm jealous of max😂😭

[@amber743]

Michel Algarin we all know yoongi is secretly fluent in English even if he acts like he isn’t lol

[@1anna1]

Michel Algarin they had a translator! Definitely had one when max visited Korea (85% sure max was the one mentioning it in another interview) and I'm pretty sure they had one when they were in LA

[@prodsuga9482]

Yoongi English king

[@luv4risa444]

are we just gonna ignore the fact that Eric had dinner with Yoongi in K town-

[@ghizlaneelallati8267]

Eric goes out with bts members more often apparently. He's also been to a Alex Benjamin concert with jimin so yeah

[@carmenuniocruz2578]

i was thinking the fking same hahah none talks about it XDXDXDXD

they're good friends lol

[@aarushi._.]

Can I just say that I am proud of Suga for having friends like Eric and Max like if I had such genuine souls as friends I would flex them EVERYDAY!!

[@MISSJONASFOREVER2]

I think suga is very picky with who he befriends and knowing these two are his friends shows how genuine they actually are.

[@jet1270]

imagine having such caring friends like max and eric. i love that yoongi's friendships.

[@esme4048]

Suga is so lucky to have such cool friends who share interests with him

[@ruthcarrasco3644]

I don’t think you would be the only one flexing...

[@kaitlyndiep9526]

Same

[@AyaKay413]

I swear to god I thought MAX was an up and coming artist when I heard about him and Yoongi. Then after the mixtape dropped, I searched him and MY GOD I'M A DUMBASS. I knew him as Max Schneider from Nick and the movie he did with Keke Palmer. I've known this man since I was a kid! Btw Rags is a BOMBASS movie and no one can tell me otherwise.

[@ailaikuse1922]

LITERALLY ME. I screamed when I saw it was Max Schneider!

[@blackandbluemadness7965]

I knew him because of all the covers he uses to do especially when he would feature on Kurt Schneider's channel. So when the mixtape dropped I was shook lol Ive been listening to him since I was in middle school

[@rachiehahaha]

What!!!!! He’s max Schneider??? My life is a lie

[@miaisabel783]

period

[@sunii7856]

MY DUMBASS JUST REALIZED THAT MAX IS FROM RAGS AAAAAAA

[@jenniosorio5584]

the fact that suga still talks to Eric makes my heart flutter 🥺❤️

[@sparkleblue2264]

yes, eric with them from the beggining.. and I love them so much

[@bltotrs92]

Mine too :-) i love that they still are in contact

[@jenniosorio5584]

blue lemonade LITERALLY the beginning 🥺💓

[@Summy70613]

Yeah he goes to things with the members sometimes like when he went to Alec Benjamins concert with Jimin and I'm guessing he has all their numbers which is so cool considering that they were on his show a lot and he's been friends with them since then!!

[@oktadewiviani]

TRUE

ERIC AND max casually talking about texting and hanging out with Yoongi...they really are living a dream 😍

[@soybeanlegs1987]

Imagine texting BTS lmao

[@zuzannabrzeszczak1578]

Okay, putting all the hype about BTS aside, I just wanna say that MAX is a vocal beast, alright??? His vocal tone fits so perfectly with Yoongi's raspy, husky rap, it's unreal. I love him even more now.

[@persona8208]

Honestly in the playlist I felt Burn it was Max ft. Suga, I am not being disrespectful to Yoongi, there are other collabs too but may be because of the texture of the song I felt like this, he really owned it

[@lenanana8]

Totally agree. I've been watching Max on Kurt Hugo Schneider's challenge and was blown away by how high his vocal range could go. When I heard he was doing a collab with Yoongi, I was like. .. boom this gonna be the bomb!

[@lilkookiedough7043]

I'm so picky when people say they like BTS because I've seen people use BTS' name for clout but MAX feels so genuine, being so supportive of their collab, gave his 💯 in promoting the song..... Hence I can confirm I love MAX

[@knitted_sweater_near_fireplace]

And his songs are amazing, they have a unique vibe

[@diilnuv7052]

Max is a real one ✊

[@prodsuga9482]

Max the only guy with rights

[@almochiii5449]

The fact that they’ve literally became friends despite the language barrier and Suga bringing him to Korean barbecue 🥺 So fucking awesome and adorable

[@maria_5966]

No, Suga is officially a fluent English speaker, PERIODT.

[@lenanana8]

I want to ask the question everyone is wondering, because Max is making it sound like they are really good friends and get along well. So, Isn't Yoongi proficient at speaking English to the point he can hold a conversation and talk about music in English enough to make a close friend ???? Just saying ... PETITION FOR YOONGI TO COME CLEAN ABOUT HIS ENGLISH SKILLS OR WE'LL SUE HIM!!!

[@JStar101567]

@@lenanana8 in the full interview max talks about the interpreter, nicole, that helped when he was in korea and even when recording bluebery eyes

[@Backflipgal12]

I feel so bad for him, everyone on twitter was like “I’m tired of seeing this man” because he kept teasing the collab!! But he delivered and I’m so happy. He seems so genuinely kind too, thats awesome.

Max is a whole ass cutie

[@lucymay446]

I love how yoongi basically goes on the best dates with his collab artists. Like he commits to the friendship on a level I can really respect

[@starrynight4893]

I get it now, SUGA for Shooting Guard given his love for basketball. “Burn It” Agust_D and Max collaboration means a lot more now. It is not just a mere collaboration but one made between friends

[@micahlazo8011]

That's how I learned to pronounce his name by thinking Shooting Guard So cool seeing Max collab with Suga Hope his music career continues to soar as well

[@hypothesised4453]

the way eric saw them “court each other from both sides” 🥺😅

[@reisatsuki5891]

Lol eric was THAT friends 😂

[@weeaboh]

"they just wanna make sure you're not full of it" max gets it man, he knows how many people out there are foaming at the mouth to use BTS and their success to boost their own careers, and that's why a lot of fans are wary when they get approached by western artists for collabs and stuff. but max seems like such a genuine dude with a real appreciation for them. it's an awesome song and i was blown away by max's voice. definitely gotta look at his music now.

[@edenthoughts]

Max is such a cutie, he talks with a smile on his face.

[@elizabeth1351]

I’m happy that Suga has friends like Eric and Max. The song “Burn it” is such a bop

[@jisungsguitar]

burn it is so fire. and max’s vocals in it is a major blessing edit: how do i have 84 likes on this?! Edit 2: HOW DID I GET 200+ LIKES?

[@jisungsguitar]

Blinkeu FOREVER ya i like overall best of the song

[@eri6130]

MAX just seems like such a genuine guy I’m so glad him and yoongi kicked off like that and gave us such an amazing song they sound fantastic together. It’s just something about celebs talking about BTS bc we know how genuine the guys are but it’s always really nice to hear it from a third party.

[@LilyKato]

I'm just saying but Max's eyes were filled with so much passion and love for the project and for working with Suga, and this is exactly the face I'm making every time I think about what an amazing mixtape we were blessed with! Heart eyes 😍

Eric witnessing the musical/friendship 'courting' is so adobs. They are all great musicians tbh

Max being aware he was teasing that song for sooo long... 🤣 but all that teasing was worth it, "Burn It" is easily one of the best tracks on D-2! 💜

[@skywinchester]

Wow, I love how positive and bright he is even when talking about twitter users' reactions. And he put it in such a nice way while he actually was HATED (there were a LOT of comments saying to stop trying to gain attention lol) just because he tweeted that he had something interesting coming.

When I saw Max and Yoongi at a basketball game I lost my shit It's rare to hear people who are really genuine about BTS and have so many positive things to say, for the longest we only had Halsey Jimmy Fallon, James Corden, Jimmy Kimmel and John Cena . I'm glad to hear and and to know the process in which he had the collab with BTS . I've loved watching and listening to max ( I used to watch Rags and How to Rock) and that's what got me into his music. I've been into kpop since like 2014/2015 because of people like .... Psy Wonder Girls Exo Big Bang

[@taechimyoonkookie8647]

this video never fails to make me smile because max seems so genuine about his friendship with yoongi, like they have a genuine connection and he enjoys yoongi outside of “using him for clout” (which is something we see a lot in western artists that ‘collab’ with bts), it just makes me happy. max seems like a really cool guy that just clicks with yoongi and im happy for both of them. eric is such a good host as always love u bae

[@internationalplayboi3210]

Omg just the fact that max doesn't know korean and yoongi doesn't know a lot of english but still they hung out together, understood each other and became friends. That is just heart warming and incredible hope they meet again and wish for their friendship to last long.💜
