The internet’s best guess for Mad Scientist Monster is country singer Brian Kelley. Don’t believe us, take a look at the clues below.

Episode 7

  • “Becoming the Mad Scientist Monster fits perfectly for me, because you have to be a little bit crazy, keep experimenting, and reinventing yourself, which is why I’m here — I’m gonna win this thing. My skills made the scouts go wild, it seemed like everyone wanted to recruit me to their team” but when it was time for his chance he says “everything combusted”

He played college baseball at Daytona State College and Florida State University and pivoted to music full-time.

  • “They sidelined me, I about lost my mind, but in the chaos, a new experiment bubbled to the surface — you see, for every action there is a reaction, and my reaction changed the world”

He made a comeback after parting ways with his longtime label when he signed to Red Bow in October 2012.

  • A radar gun that says “fast” on it

A reference to his athlete days.

  • A fish tank with a big trout in it all appear in the package as well

A reference to his son g”Fish All Day.”

Episode 8

  • When I met my boo, it was a festive fall evening, gathered around a full Friendsgiving table. When our hands brushed passing the cranberry sauce, sparks flew. I swear, right then and there I knew I’d marry that girl someday. But seasons passed, until one sweltering summer day we reconnected. I serenaded her until her bunsens were burnin’. I made her a promise I’d never leave her side — for better or worse. Now here’s an epic boy band song for that woman I made a promise to — my wife.”

Kelley met his wife Brittney, at a Thanksgiving party.

  • “It’s an honor to have won the same award as both Backstreet Boys and BTS.”

Kelley stuns in his time in Florida Georgia Line.

Episode 9

  • “I won every award possible except that Nobel Prize. But I didn’t do it alone, and while we had a very good run together, it didn’t last forever. We had very different theories on life. I wanted to explore new avenues and keep our grand experiment going. But we never tested that hypothesis, so I ventured out on my own. At first I was, well, mad! But life rolls on — and once I went out on my own — I found that I quite liked that I was in control of my results. Now, I realize I learned a major lesson: Sometimes chemistry changes — and that’s OK. Not everybody’s going to love you — and that’s OK, too. As long as you love yourself.”

Kelley split from his Florida Georgia Line bandmate Tyler Hubbard in 2022.

  •  Mad Scientist Monster performed with someone from Season 4.

Kelley sang with Backstreet Boy Nick Carter on CMT Crossroads.
