  Old Dominion got a little parental appreciation for their big hit, “Break up with Him.” (:15)
Geoff: “Somebody came up, was like, ‘You’re in Old Dominion…that song — it totally worked; I broke up with him.’ And then her mom (laughs) was at the table next to her, or, you know, like, next to us at dinner, and she’s like, ‘I’m a fan, too. She needed to break up with that guy.'”
(band laughter)
Geoff: “I was like, ‘Alright, okay.'”
Matthew: “That’s awesome. Changin’ lives.”
