Maddox Batson is 15, doesn’t have a driver’s license, and is somehow getting his first passport so he can head out on a world tour. In this episode, he talks about bringing his entire family on the road, growing up on bluegrass with a mandolin-master dad, and how being homeschooled actually fits with a life of airports, soundchecks, and hotel rooms. He and Bobby get into what a “normal day” looks like for him, why he begged to get off the screen and onto real stages, and how it feels now to hear crowds singing every word back. Maddox also opens up about the hobbies that keep him grounded such as collecting watches, playing golf, hunting and whether he still feels like a kid when most of his friends are just starting high school. He shares his love for artists like John Mayer, Keith Whitley, George Jones, and Ed Sheeran, his “pinch me” Opry moment, and the story of averaging 35 points a game in basketball before a knee injury changed everything. Plus, there’s a funny clip about being accused of being a ball hog, some “uncountry” talk, and what it’s like playing shows in Nashville and beyond at 15 years old.

Bobbys had it with the Arkansas coaching chaos, and he lay out why the nonstop rumors, misreports, and “done deal” whispers have him completely fed up with the football program for the year. The guys also discuss the big question: are the Dallas Cowboys actually a playoff lock, or is everyone getting a little too comfortable with that 10-win number? Bobby breaks down what the rest of the schedule looks like, why the Chiefs might need to win out, and how a lot of money could potentially be lost in the midst of it all. He also hits on Lane Kiffin’s “soft move” from the weekend involving a reporter and an apology, plus some college playoff talk, Diego Pavia’s big statement game, and a few life notes like Eddie taking his kids to the Y, carving turkey, and why Bobby’s foot is absolutely screaming by the end of the show.

Kaitlyn Bristowe sits down with Bobby for a wild, honest catch-up that starts with their DWTS baggage, Tom Bergeron’s “OUCH” line, the show’s mental toll, and Kaitlyn admitting she literally slept with a fake mirrorball trophy to manifest a win. Bobby also owns up to kind of regretting sending his trophy back, and Kaitlyn reminds him he still earned it. Then Kaitlyn gets real about Bachelor fame, being labeled a polarizing “character,” negotiating her worth, and how the internet loves to pigeonhole you. The two swap stories on therapy, hyper-independence, and growing up around addiction, plus Bobby opens up about why he doesn’t drink and how fear has fueled his whole career. Funny, raw, and way deeper than a reality-TV recap. Check out Off the Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe.

Katie from Girls in Low Places drops in this week and brings a whole different angle on country music — including what it’s like being a fan (and a voice) for the genre in the UK. She and Bobby get into how country is landing overseas, what surprised her most once she got closer to the scene, and why some artists feel bigger across the pond than they do back home. They also rewind to a viral Riley Green moment that blew up fast and didn’t exactly go the way she expected, plus the story behind why she flashed Tucker Wetmore — yes, that happened, and yes, there’s context. From there it turns into a no-filter hang about “industry plants,” the weird stuff fans argue about online, and what makes a honky tonk feel like a honky tonk no matter what country you’re in.
