It's me, Don Toliver If I could describe the open earbud, I would describe it as very seamless. It's like you clipping onto your ear and then sometimes you can forget it's there but it's not going anywhere because it's like clipped. It's kind of crazy. If I could bring my music with me wherever I go, it just make life easier and seamless without interruption. To be able to have the music on hand like that without any interruptions would be great.

There's joy in every journey. Here we go. Come on, Bobby. Let's go. Welcome to Monday's show. Morning studio. Morning. Okay, so here is the goal over the next few minutes is. By the way, we'll have the Blake Shelton interview coming up in just a little bit. It's great. Amy did it. I was gone. Amy did it. Amy's the leader. When I'm not here, Amy's the leader. And you led in this situation. I liked it. I had some stuff last week. Maybe. Maybe one of the best. I get critiqued for playing too many video games. I found a news story that's like, you should play all the video games you want. Find a news story that contradicts any hate you get. Oh, okay. Because I'm telling you, there's a story for anything.
Netflix Representative
Any hate.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Find us. Find a new story that contradicts any hate you get. Okay. So I want to start the show here. Thank you guys for being here. Let's play this song. We will come right back. Find that story that we can. We can then go, ah, Eddie shouldn't be eating so many tortillas. And you're like, oh, tortillas. Don't use that one.
Don Toliver
Let me start looking.
Bobby Bones
All right. Back. All right. I have a story I'd like to read. Thank you all for being here. This story justifies a lot of what I've said on this show for many years from a research journal called cyrix. A recent study found that people who play video games four, five, six, or more hours a week have brain function 14 years younger. So I'd like to say for all those times you guys have made fun of me for playing video games, for those times that my wife's been like, have you been up on your PlayStation 5 the last couple hours? It's helping my brain.
Don Toliver
Have you sent that to your wife yet?
Bobby Bones
Not yet. I'm about to take a picture of her and send it over, though. Even playing video games just sometimes is linked to a brain that's five years younger because of what the video game is doing for the brain. It's basically working out. Video games are important for people. They keep your brain active and constantly functioning at a high level. They also improve your problem solving abilities. Boom. That story justifies everything I've Said and all you guys can kick her eyes. Boom. Amy, you have one of those.
Netflix Representative
Well, sometimes y'all make fun of me for forest bathing or y'all don't really understand what I'm doing.
Don Toliver
What is that?
Netflix Representative
It's just going for a walk with the trees and being one with them. Yes, out of Stanford, which. I mean credible source. It is scientifically measurable. So this is based on science. It's not just that I'm going into the forest and hanging out with the trees to just feel better and it's like all in my mind. No, it lowers your cortisol. They've measured it. So if you're feeling anxious or you need to calm down or you just need to feel like, just better, go forest bathe.
Bobby Bones
And forest bathing isn't actually in water.
Netflix Representative
You're not naked. You can be clothed.
Bobby Bones
I wouldn't even say naked. I was just saying water.
Don Toliver
Yeah, because it's bathing.
Bobby Bones
It's a season of Amy. You know what I'm saying, Right? Everything's like pervy.
Netflix Representative
No.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox. What do you have to prove us all?
Lunchbox
Oh, you guys get mad at me. Oh, you don't shower. I can't believe you go three days without showering. But Harvard Health, they say pretty reputable. Yeah, exactly.
Bobby Bones
Go ahead.
Lunchbox
They say showering every day is bad for you.
Bobby Bones
Sorry. We laughed because you. Shay, shay, shay, shay. Sorry. Go again.
Lunchbox
They say showering every day is bad for your health and bad for your skin. Antibacterial soaps can actually kill off normal bacteria that upset and that upsets the microorganisms on your skin and encourages bad bacteria to get on your skin. Your immune system needs a certain amount of stimulation by normal microorganisms. Dirt and gunk and sweat. And by using that soap, you're messing with it. Bad news for your body if you shower every day.
Don Toliver
Look at this.
Lunchbox
And Harvard says it wastes a ton.
Bobby Bones
Of water from Harvard. And Amy's from Stanford. Look at all this stuff we can make fun of for we're actually right, Eddie.
Don Toliver
Well, mine just says from science. Science says science is not a source. Well, I don't know. You guys make fun of me for watching old black and white movies. But science says. Says that old black and white movies can be considered good for your mental health because of their slow pace storytelling and they're under stimulating and over overwhelming because they're just old black and white movies.
Bobby Bones
So these new movies, they're boring as crap, correct?
Don Toliver
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Okay. The science says it.
Don Toliver
That's science.
Bobby Bones
Anybody else have something they want to prove everybody wrong about. Yeah, I have one. Go ahead. So, according to the Mayo Clinic, getting random acts of kindness done to you can increase your sense of connectivity and decrease loneliness. And all of you guys make fun of me for getting all my ducks all the time and having all my ducks on my Jeep. And those things have really brought me a lot of joy and decreased my loneliness. I think we. I should say I, not we. I think mostly that's just dudes hitting on you. Yes, I have ducks. They don't ever see me. Eddie, don't near as many ducks. Like, she drives. It's like she's driving in a ball pit from Chuck E. Cheese. She's having a fight. Like, because so many dudes are putting ducks inside of her Jeep.
Lunchbox
She has extra ones in a plastic bag in her car because she has so many.
Bobby Bones
Because I'm going to give them to people.
Lunchbox
And it's absolutely 100% dudes hitting on you.
Bobby Bones
Almost. Almost dangerous. Like, I saw her once driving up and I was like, what is in the wind? And you see her little head and all the ducks guys.
Amy
But this is what I'm saying.
Bobby Bones
They. People putting them on my Jeep not.
Amy
Only made me feel less lonely, it.
Bobby Bones
Combated my low mood and improved my relationships with people. And this is all according to the Mayo Clinic. So we all found stories to prove everybody wrong.
Netflix Representative
I tried to find something about cardinals, for sure, being lost loved ones, but there's no. There's no scientific research on that, unfortunately. It's unmeasur.
Bobby Bones
It's the anonymous sandbox. Anonymous sandbox. There's a question to be had. Send it into the mail bag. Hello, Bobby Bones. About a month ago, I met a girl. We hit it off to the point where we exchanged numbers, went on a date, started texting. I'm starting to get a red flag feeling. We've made plans to get together five times, and each time something comes up or she's busy at work or her mom needs help. I would like to give her the benefit of the doubt, but something feels off here. What can I do to find out if she's really that busy or if I'm getting the blow off sign blown off? Bob. Okay, Bob, you're the problem. Yeah, it's five times. You're the problem.
Netflix Representative
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So one time. Absolutely. Cool. Two times. Dang, that sucks. I start to go, do they really just not want to hang out with me? Two times. That's that. Three times in a row. I am no longer going to invest any time or energy Trying to get together with this person, it is now on them if they want to get together with me anytime after three, that's on you, Bob. And I can tell you this because I'm not with you right now and you won't punch me in the face. But, Bob, that's on you five times. Also. You're way too available. You're way too available, Bob. Why does she want to go out with you? You're so available. I'm free anytime. Who wants to go with somebody's free anytime, Bob? That's not a red flag. That is a roadblock. Stop.
Netflix Representative
Well, yeah, she either doesn't like him or she's not. Or she's not real, so stop talking.
Bobby Bones
But they met. They said they met, okay? And they exchanged numbers and they even went on a date.
Netflix Representative
Sorry. My brain immediately went to some crazy documentary. I just watched this girl that talked to a guy online for eight years and he scammed her completely. They never met up.
Bobby Bones
That could be true. I believe that one.
Netflix Representative
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
No, but this one, again, he's a matter. It's five times. What you do after two is you put it on them to make the next Plan 2 completely acceptable. That it happens twice. That sucks. It's rare, but it sucks. And it does happen. But after two, it's on them to make the next plan. Bob, you're the problem. It's you. Not that you're a bad person, but that you're just letting yourself suffer like this because she's. You're probably like her third choice. You're like third round draft pick.
Netflix Representative
Yeah.
Don Toliver
Are you saying it's you?
Bobby Bones
I'm saying, Bob, it's you. Bob, the problem. It's you. You may be surprised to learn you can bring Thanksgiving dinner with you. If you fly, it's possible to transport an entire turkey. All the fixings, as long as it's packed safely inside your checked bags. Stop.
Netflix Representative
Right.
Bobby Bones
I'd be afraid that things would, like, get out. But items that are liquid but have frozen completely solid, if you're gravy in it, yeah, it's considered a solid. You can, you can even put that in your carry on.
Netflix Representative
Well, as long as it doesn't exceed the ounces.
Bobby Bones
No, it's solid. It's not liquid.
Don Toliver
And alcohol doesn't freeze. So.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I can't do that.
Bobby Bones
Well, you can get that on the other side. You just buy that. But no, yeah, I mean, if you freeze it, it's a solid.
Netflix Representative
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So anytime I, like take a weapon through, I freeze it and they Never even question it. It's, it's really cool. But baked goods like pies, cakes, Thanksgiving sides like Mac and cheese, they can be frozen properly and carry on or you can put it in your checked.
Netflix Representative
Okay. That's the part where I guess I just get nervous that they suddenly tell me it wasn't properly frozen and they throw it out and I'd be like, good point.
Don Toliver
Or TSA or is that a TikTok?
Bobby Bones
It's from eater.com.
Don Toliver
Okay.
Bobby Bones
So I would assume it's from like TSA. So what I would be worried about is that the tsa, when they go through your stuff, they think they're like scrumptious and take it for themselves.
Netflix Representative
Right. So just go ahead and, and check it. That's what I used to do when I wanted to take my own stuff.
Bobby Bones
No, I mean when they check it. Cuz sometimes they open your bag and there's a piece of paper like we went through your stuff. Yeah, we searched it and I'm like, where's my dressing? You know they're eating in a break room back there somewhere.
Netflix Representative
True.
Bobby Bones
Anyway, there's that. Here's Amy's pile of stories.
Netflix Representative
I saw a hack on Tik Tok. If you're hosting Thanksgiving, use Chat GPT to enter in everything that you have to cook. And it will print out or spit out a plan for when you need to put everything in and what order you should do it all in what based on like, you know, temperatures and times. And it can get really, really complicated and overwhelming. But use AI.
Bobby Bones
Do you guys use Chat GPT?
Don Toliver
When I Google it pops up on the top, right? Yeah, same thing.
Bobby Bones
May have to pay for it.
Netflix Representative
I have to pay for it. Oh, I guess I use the free version.
Bobby Bones
Maybe. Maybe there's a free version like anything I'm saying now. Chat GPT just told me to say, so I pay for the other version, so.
Netflix Representative
Oh, that's why I can only ask you like one question.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Netflix Representative
But right now I guess because the free, it'll give you one for free and then, and then it's like you've hit your limit for the day. I'm like, that's probably it.
Bobby Bones
What else you got?
Netflix Representative
Oh, the formula for the perfect night at home has been studied, so I'll tell you exactly what that is. But Bobby, I'm curious what a perfect night looks like for you.
Bobby Bones
First, if I can be in bed by 8. If I'm working backward, I would be in bed by 8, falling asleep by 8:30 because gotta wake up so Early. I would say dinner at 6. 5:45 would be good. It doesn't even matter what it is. I don't care really what we eat because I eat boring stuff for the most part. Watch a show with my wife. Get a couple games of NCAA football in. I mean, I would love to for there to be like an Arkansas football game that we win, but we don't win games anymore.
Netflix Representative
This is getting very specific.
Bobby Bones
Well, you asked me. Perfect night.
Netflix Representative
Okay.
Bobby Bones
And maybe it's like a double header because sometimes if it's a weekend, Arkansas will play at like 3pm and they'll play a basketball game that evening. Oh, that's cool. That's cool. I'm going to be super selfish like that. Why? What do they have?
Netflix Representative
Well, the perfect night is getting home from work by 5:30pm and immediately taking an approximately 19 minute shower. And then you follow that up with snacks and relaxing on the couch by no later than 6:42pm I asked Chat GPT.
Bobby Bones
The perfect night for an American can vary widely depending on the personal interest and regional culture. A cozy home, warmer summer evenings or crystal nights. Barbecue, maybe a favorite craft beer. Watching a big game.
Netflix Representative
Streaming a blockbuster movie by 6:42pm yeah.
Bobby Bones
Bonding over stories with your family. Relaxation out by a fire or a chill evening.
Netflix Representative
Oh, that's. That's mine.
Bobby Bones
All right, what else?
Netflix Representative
If you've ever wondered why Coke tastes better at McDonald's, there's a reason and it's a whole process. A lot of fast food restaurants, they have their Coke syrup delivered to them in plaque plastic bags. But McDonald's gets it delivered in stainless steel tanks and the tanks keep the syrup fresh.
Bobby Bones
That's pretty.
Netflix Representative
And that's why it tastes, I thought.
Bobby Bones
It was from an angel's mouth.
Netflix Representative
Different. But I mean, there is. I mean, I love Diet Coke. And yes, there is something about a McDonald's Diet Coke that just hits.
Bobby Bones
Well, it's like they're fries too. Oh, so just hit, as they would say.
Netflix Representative
Yeah, so just hit plastic bags. They don't help keep that syrup flavor quite like the metal tank. All right, I'm Amy. That's my pile.
Bobby Bones
That was Amy's pile of storage. Come on, it's time for the good news with Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
Elaine Rad had just started her shift at the community store right by the river when a little boy runs and goes, help, Help. We tried to walk on the river on the ice and my friend fell in. Elaine runs down to the river, says, icy water. I'm not scared of you.
Bobby Bones
Boom.
Lunchbox
Jumps in the Water grabs the boy, gets him up on the shore, and then she climbs out. The boy was taken to the hospital. He's okay. He had hypothermia, but he's alive.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. She risked her own life there.
Netflix Representative
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Like, I mean, she saved a life and that's always awesome, but I don't know if I'd have done that.
Don Toliver
I see River.
Bobby Bones
I don't think I have. I don't think I have the guts.
Lunchbox
I mean, it's real cold.
Bobby Bones
Somebody started yelling, help. And I'd run to it. I've been like, yeah, help.
Don Toliver
Yeah, somebody.
Bobby Bones
Somebody help. What he said, it's because that is. That is a great story. Good for her, good for them. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. The show is sponsored by BetterHelp. You know, I was a therapy yesterday. It's one of those sessions where I go and I'm in there and it feels like work, but I leave. And it felt like I just had a good day's work. And I'm like, man, I really gained some stuff yesterday. Meaning when you go to therapy, it actually, it doesn't fix you. But what it does is it gives you the tools that when you start spiraling or doubting or you don't have gratitude or for me, it readjusts and gives me those tools to find that. This month, by the way, all about gratitude. And so it's about understanding at times what you do have. Sometimes we just focus on what we don't. So here's a reminder too, to have a little gratitude for one or two things in your life. And here's a little reminder too, that therapy has helped me so much. Again, I did not grow up with therapy. Didn't even know what it was other than people talking about it on tv. But for me, therapy has been a life changer. If you're thinking of starting therapy for many reasons, I would recommend giving BetterHelp a try. One, it's entirely online, designed to be convenient, flexible, suited to your schedule. You fill out a brief questionnaire, you get matched with a licensed therapist, and hopefully they match you right based on what you put down and if not, switch at any time for no additional charge.

Netflix Representative
Aliens. Are you APs?
Bobby Bones
I think I've kind of stoked that fear here in this room.
Don Toliver
Yeah. Yeah. And in the world.
Bobby Bones
Aliens.
Netflix Representative
Oh, cool.
Lunchbox
What?
Netflix Representative
I won.
Bobby Bones
You did win. So we'll get to that in a second. Your number three answer was fear of public speaking. Number five answer is not having enough money for the future. Number six is losing a loved one. Number nine is corrupt government officials. And number ten is terrorist attack.
Netflix Representative
I almost. I almost said war. Would that have counted?
Bobby Bones
I don't think so. You had to be more specific. But you did win. But that means Justin did not win. Now, Justin, you chose Lunchbox, and he let you down. What are your thoughts? If I was Lunchbox, I'd probably throw a couple of words his way. But I love Lunchbox. All right.
Lunchbox
Smart dude. I mean, sometimes it doesn't get done.
Bobby Bones
I mean, how much you can buy at Walmart without love is what I say. Just kidding. Just kidding. All right, thank you, Justin. Let's get Justin off for another game later, okay? Maybe today or tomorrow we do that. Scuba. I never want to, like, give somebody a one to note.
Don Toliver
Yeah, but he was pretty kind, so I like him.
Bobby Bones
Let's do it again. If he's mean, we don't. Do we not let him back.
Don Toliver
We don't let him back in.
Bobby Bones
No, we're gonna have you on for another game. Okay. Awesome. All right, buddy. I love y'all. Thanks, man. See?
Don Toliver
Love you too, man.
Bobby Bones
Now we're good. I got a really cool Cody Johnson story for you.
Don Toliver
I literally gave my phone to Brandy and said, I can't Take it anymore because there's like 105 text messages on there, and I have no clue who they're from. So I'll decipher through that on the.
Bobby Bones
16 hour ride back to Texas. So, one, congrats to Cody. That's awesome. Two, what was the moment in your life that was your phone blew up moment? It could be good or bad, but all of a sudden you're looking at. You're like, holy crap, I got a lot of text messages, Amy, I'll go to you first.
Netflix Representative
Gosh, Just a recent one for me would probably be when we announced that I was getting divorced on air.
Bobby Bones
People were texting you after that?
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Heard this. What are they? What?
Don Toliver
Like what?
Bobby Bones
What was the comment?
Netflix Representative
I think it was people in our inner circle knew people close, especially in Nashville, but just so many people, you know, being from Austin and Ron air there, and so many people that I grew up with, and they just weren't aware because we kept it so like, to our tight group. And I just started to get random text of support and just thinking of y'all, praying for you. And I was like, oh, okay, that's.
Bobby Bones
Why she's over it.
Netflix Representative
Yeah. Or, hey, we went through the same thing. Like, let me know how I can help you all. So I think that that tops the list for some stuff.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox, your phone blowing up moment.
Lunchbox
It's easy as when I'm ran the marathon without any training. I mean, people didn't think I could do it. And when I got done, I mean, I had so many text mess. Took me a couple days to respond if I responded. Just people saying what a beast I was.
Bobby Bones
And, you know, what year was that, by the way? Do you know what year that was?
Netflix Representative
2010.
Lunchbox
Yeah, maybe 2010.
Bobby Bones
It's been 14 years. Morgan wasn't even born yet. Eddie.
Don Toliver
Yeah, I think when I did my walk from West Virginia to Tennessee. But it was cool because, like, when you're walking, you know, 25 miles a day, like, you have nothing else to do. So when people were texting, it was cool. I'd text back, but I got lots of texts. I think I was texting the whole time. Then at the end of the day when we were at the hotel, I just responded more texts. A lot of texts came in that time.
Bobby Bones
If you're new. Eddie walked from West Virginia to Tennessee just like the song, because he came on the air going, that's not that far.
Don Toliver
Right?
Bobby Bones
And so we're like, then do it. And he raised a couple hundred thousand bucks for charity. Yeah.
Don Toliver
It was amazing for foster children.
Bobby Bones
And his foot still hurts. He has an injury in his foot.
Netflix Representative
A sacrifice.
Don Toliver
Yeah. Hey, for the kids, man. Sacrifice for the kids.
Bobby Bones
I don't think you knew your foot was going to be hurt, but I think, yeah, that's one. Mine is whenever I want. Dancing with the Stars.
Netflix Representative
Oh, for sure.
Bobby Bones
I don't even know. Some people were that were texting me and I hate red dots. So I spent out right afterward just trying to clear it all and then I just would copy and paste hey, hey, man. Thanks. But then I realized everybody wasn't a man and I was in a. Hey, man.
Netflix Representative
I know all three of yalls are all physically taxing. Yeah, I guess mine was emotionally taxing.
Bobby Bones
I think mine's more emotional taxing physically, though.
Netflix Representative
Oh, really? One of that shows you did hurt yourself a lot on your body.
Bobby Bones
It was a lot more on my brain.
Netflix Representative
Okay, well then we're good. I'm like, well, I need to go do something active.
Bobby Bones
What's the best gift card to give somebody for the holidays? Because they have a whole list here. So if you have to get somebody, maybe you're not even that close, but you gotta get them a gift. What do you get them?
Netflix Representative
Amazon.
Bobby Bones
Number one is Amazon.
Netflix Representative
Okay, that can come in handy for everybody.
Bobby Bones
You're tuned in. Go ahead. What else you got?
Netflix Representative
Like a Uber Eats.
Don Toliver
That's a good one.
Bobby Bones
Not everybody. A lot of rural places don't have it.
Netflix Representative
I know, True.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Number two is Target.
Netflix Representative
Oh, yeah. Okay, now that. Now my brain's working on that. Walmart.
Bobby Bones
That four is Walmart.
Netflix Representative
Okay. Instacart delivery.
Bobby Bones
You're. You're in the future. Ah, gosh, you're big city in right now.
Netflix Representative
Oh, oh, gaming cards.
Bobby Bones
No, no.
Netflix Representative
If it's. Oh, I saw that. That's the number one thing kids want for Christmas is gift cards for video games.
Bobby Bones
Sephora's at three. Starbucks is an obvious one. That's there. Nike, eBay, REI, which I was surprised because I don't REI.
Netflix Representative
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Home Depot, Disney. Okay, but what do you get from. Because it's not going to Disney World. What do you get from the Disney gift card shows?
Netflix Representative
Can you download movies and stuff or.
Bobby Bones
I don't know, I don't have one. I don't know.
Netflix Representative
I can't check mine to see Disney.
Bobby Bones
They say Disney's top 10 on the gift card list as well. I take the Amazon. Amazon and ebay though, are the solid ones because you can get whatever you want from those. Or cash. Yeah, give me the cash. It May not feel personal, but cash. It's time for the good news with producer Eddie.
Don Toliver
Jared is from Mesquite, Texas, and when he was a little kid, he remembers his dad talking about this Chevy Camaro that he had. A 1967 Camaro. Loved it, but he had to get rid of it because, well, he had kids. He had to buy diapers. He couldn't afford it anymore, so he had to sell it. Well, now Jared's older. He said, you know what? I'm gonna try to find this Camaro for my dad. So he went on a nationwide search, and turns out it was only 70 miles away. He found the exact Camaro. It took him two years to restore it, but now his dad turned 65, and he surprised him for his birthday.
Bobby Bones
That's pretty awesome, dad.
Don Toliver
Here's the Camaro that you had to sacrifice for us.
Netflix Representative
I love that.
Bobby Bones
Are you, like, replaying the voice of the kid? Yeah.
Don Toliver
Well, I kind of feel it because since I became a dad, I start realizing. And I never thought about it, but when I became a dad, I was like, man, my dad really, like, sacrificed a lot for us, and I didn't realize it then, so I wish I could have done something like this.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you could have got him a Camaro. I don't know. He never had a Camaro, but that'd have been cool. Getting anybody a Camaro would be cool. Yeah.
Netflix Representative
Maybe now your kids can do something like this for you.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Play this for him.
Don Toliver
What would that be, though?
Netflix Representative
Whatever.
Bobby Bones
You haven't given up much. You haven't really given up much. You play a lot of golf?
Don Toliver
Yeah, I do.
Bobby Bones
Also, Amy's looking for a Bronco still.
Netflix Representative
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Netflix Representative
My kids could come to me and say, mom, but I didn't sacrifice it for them. But that's okay.
Bobby Bones
Who cares? Yeah, you just want the Bronco. That'd be awesome. All right. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Here's a little tip for all the music fans out there.

Bobby Bones
Time now for Amy's morning Corny. The morning Corny.
Netflix Representative
What do you call a stolen spud?
Bobby Bones
What do you call a stolen spud?
Netflix Representative
Hot potato.
Bobby Bones
Hot potato. Got it. That was the morning corny. You know the saying open sesame?
Netflix Representative
Yeah. Open sesame.
Bobby Bones
I say it open sesame. What do you think that means? Open sesame.
Netflix Representative
I can honestly say I've never thought about this. But is it that. Do sesame seeds come in little shells like a pistachio and you have to open them?
Bobby Bones
I don't know if that's true. I read open sesame was originally open says me. Open says me. And now it's said open sesame because it's been said wrong so many times. Open sez me.
Netflix Representative
Open sesame.
Bobby Bones
Open SES me. Which has turned into open sesame.
Netflix Representative
Oh, okay. I see how that happens.
Bobby Bones
Fun fact for you. A flight to Dallas, they had to duct tape a guy down to a seat because he was trying to open the door. I wonder if planes have extra duct tape now because it seems like that's what you do to somebody who's out of control is just duct tape them. But I have audio of this. So the guy's trying to open the door and they all jump. Hold him down. Here's one of the passengers talking about apprehending the guy. There was no time. He was two feet from the door. It was just chaos. He was going for the door. And so I just grabbed the guy from behind and kept him from pulling.
Don Toliver
The thing on the door.
Bobby Bones
You know, we were on our knees holding him down. Do you think you beat the crap out of him first if you have the ability to? Because I think I would. Not that I have the ability, but if I did have the ability and somebody's going crazy, I need to restrain him. I'm gonna beat the crap out of him first and hopefully knock him out and then tie him up. Oh, gosh.
Netflix Representative
Knock him out. See, that seems risky to me.
Bobby Bones
Well, you know what's riskier? Pushing the door of the airplane and they're like. Everybody gets sucked out.
Netflix Representative
I know, I know. I'm in for, like, a little jabber kick. But, like, I don't know about beat the crap.
Bobby Bones
I think I would just try to beat the crap out of him.
Don Toliver
Knock him out. You're right.
Bobby Bones
Incapacitate him and then duct tape them down.
Don Toliver
Yeah, it'd be easier to duct tape and tape them if you just knocked it back. Absolutely.
Netflix Representative
Oh, they might just put him in a sleeper.
Don Toliver
Sure, that'll work.
Bobby Bones
That's not a real thing. Oh, it's not like wrestling. The hand will drop. Here's another one. This is a flight flying to Miami. It had to turn around when it hit serious turbulence. There's a video. Don't watch it.
Netflix Representative
Oh, yeah, I know.
Bobby Bones
It's scary because everybody's screaming, I hate turbulence. I hate flying. So, by the way, no one was seriously hurt, thank goodness. But it is crazy. Here we go. Hit it, everybody. Right? That is. That sounds like a movie. Yes, it's like a movie where they're about to crash on a deserted island and have to live there for years.
Don Toliver
Did you watch the video?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, of course I watched a video.
Don Toliver
So was it one bump or was it lots of bumps?
Bobby Bones
That was one of the bigger bumps, but I think there was some turbulence leading into it with one humongous drop.
Netflix Representative
Yeah. I only saw one person's ankle, and I just saw stuff flying in the air and people freaking out. And, like, to me, it sounds like a roller coaster.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it does. Play that first part again. Right.
Netflix Representative
No, that's an airplane. It's not a roller coaster.
Bobby Bones
And you have to think, too. Everybody doesn't have their phones on the whole time. They only turn it on once the turbulence starts going. Right. So they're catching, like, the biggest moment of it. That's. That makes me not feel good in my, like, sternum.
Netflix Representative
No. And it was like, just like a flight to Miami.
Don Toliver
Oh, yeah.
Netflix Representative
It seems like that should be happening somewhere else.
Bobby Bones
Which would you rather have happen on your flight? One quick boom, turbulence, and you're back up to normal. But everybody screams. Or a guy trying to open the door and they gotta, like, beat him up and duct tape them.
Netflix Representative
The duct tape guy. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Well, he could actually open the door.
Netflix Representative
No, he can't. He cannot. No. That. That turbulence video there, you're scarred for Life, probably. Duct tape guy. You're like, can you believe he was on my flight?
Bobby Bones
It's a good point. Okay, you convince me. Earlier, we were talking about Open Sesame, which was originally open, says me. But now we say open Sesame. There's another thing that I saw. I only want to give you the first part of it because I don't want to ruin it. So the Blink 182 song. What's my age again? Right.
Netflix Representative
What's my age again? What's my age again? What's my age again?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you got it. That's it. Okay, so if I go. I took her out it was a.
Netflix Representative
Friday night I scared alone I get to feeling right do it again. I said, hold on. Start again.
Bobby Bones
I took her out it was a.
Netflix Representative
Friday night I was alone no, you're.
Bobby Bones
Doing what I do.
Netflix Representative
I get to feeling right so this is what.
Bobby Bones
Tell me if this is right. I took her out, it was a Friday night I walk alone and get the feeling right I started making. Right. It's I walk alone. It's not I walk alone.
Netflix Representative
Yeah, because they're together. So that's why I've always said alone. But then you're like, I took her out, it was a Friday night. And then why would he be alone?
Bobby Bones
But I walk alone is how I've sang that song forever.
Don Toliver
But you're right.
Bobby Bones
It makes no sense.
Netflix Representative
I wore cologne that got her feeling.
Don Toliver
Right to get the feeling right I.
Bobby Bones
Took her out it was a Friday night I wore cologne to get the feeling right I never knew as I wore cologne I've seen that song 10 million times.
Netflix Representative
Same never.
Bobby Bones
We started making out. I know the rest of the stuff. There's another one for you.
Netflix Representative
And that's about the time she walked away from me so you can tell.
Bobby Bones
All your friends, hey, sing blank 182.
Don Toliver
I'm gonna do that.
Bobby Bones
They'll be like a walk alone.
Netflix Representative
So do y'all wear. Do y'all wear cologne?
Bobby Bones
I don't have. I don't even own cologne.
Netflix Representative
Get the feeling right oh, I wear cologne oh, yeah on date night I.
Don Toliver
Finally found a cologne that I love.
Netflix Representative
Oh, gosh, that.
Bobby Bones
You sound creepy, man.
Don Toliver
What do you mean? Dude, it's awesome. It changes how.
Bobby Bones
That's fine. You say it like that. You were doing, like, some weird.
Don Toliver
He doesn't mean that.
Bobby Bones
I don't. I don't own a bottle of clone.
Netflix Representative
It's so bizarre to me. Because you're so clones.
Bobby Bones
Like, fake.
Netflix Representative
What do you mean? It's not what he means. Fake.
Don Toliver
Yeah. What do you mean?
Bobby Bones
It's like, put on a costume.
Netflix Representative
No, it's not crazy.
Bobby Bones
It's not a clean thing.
Netflix Representative
I know that you're a very clean person. That's my point. And you, like, you typically make you cleaner bones.
Don Toliver
When Keith Urban walks here, you don't go, oh, man, I'm not cloned Guy.
Bobby Bones
I'm like, I'm not hating on clone people. I'm just not cologne Guy.
Netflix Representative
No, but don't you think it's fair for us to say it's odd to us you're not Cologne Guy?
Bobby Bones
No.
Netflix Representative
Oh, it's always been odd to us.
Bobby Bones
If I didn't wear deodorant, I think you could go, it's odd to us you're not a deodorant guy. But I even keep deodorant here at work just in case I forget.
Netflix Representative
Okay. Okay.
Bobby Bones
I just have always thought cologne feels cheesy to me.
Netflix Representative
Yeah, I know. For all these years, I've always thought, how is Bobby not Cologne Guy?
Don Toliver
You should give it a shot, man.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I don't want to be Cologne Guy.
Netflix Representative
Like, everything else about you screams like, no, it doesn't.
Bobby Bones
Don't say I scream Cologne Guy.
Matt Ramsey
Wow.
Bobby Bones
I'm so insulted. Okay, on the Bobby Bones show now, Matt Ramsey from Old Dominion. He's here. What's up? Hey. Yes, yes, yes. Hey, first of all, congratulations on another cma. My question for you guys, because you've done it so many years in a row now. When you get styled or you as a band, you pick out your clothes. Does one stylist work with all of you together so you kind of look like a boy band, kind of matching, kind of not. Or do you all do it separately and just show up and hope you don't, like, accidentally wear the same thing?
Matt Ramsey
No, we have the same stylist. She's been with us for a really long time. So, yeah, she's. She kind of knows our.
Don Toliver
What?
Matt Ramsey
Our preferences.
Bobby Bones
At this point, I feel like a pretty solid question. I'm gonna be honest with you.
Don Toliver
It's pretty good.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Because I'd kind of want to, like, have it. Have a theme.
Matt Ramsey
Pretty good.
Don Toliver
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I don't want to give myself props for that question. I've always wondered that, so. And then you win again, and you're absolutely deserving of it. No doubt about it. You guys have so many hits, but at this point, a little bit, like, you're gonna win until you don't. When they're about to say the name at this point. Right. Like, you're like, it's probably going to be us, you know, this time it.
Matt Ramsey
Did not feel like that. You know, I mean, I think at some point in the run it probably.
Lunchbox
Did feel like that.
Matt Ramsey
But this time I think it was just a little bit more nerve wracking because obviously there was a record at stake and you know, there's some new guys in the category and you know, so you never know anyway. It's such a. Everyone in this category is so good and kind of so on the same level.
Bobby Bones
Seven consecutive vocal group of the year awards. Unbelievable. The only streak that's better is mine. Non being late to work streak. That's it. That's number one. And seven consecutive is number two. Hey, so you're calling equally.
Matt Ramsey
It's hard to achieve.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, I agree. I expect to be at work, though. You're starting to doubt yourself, though. Yeah, yeah. So I do want to talk about the 7 for 7 Ryman residency, which you guys are going to play a bunch of shows at the Ryman seven for seven. So what's the deal with the title? I think I know. And then also, why are you doing these shows?
Matt Ramsey
Seven consecutive wins. Seven consecutive shows. Was the idea just to figure out a way to, like, celebrate it in a big way and give back? Because, man, we're so blessed and have gotten so much out of this career and our fans and you guys and want to figure out a way to like, give it back a little bit. So we thought we'd pick seven different charities. Each show would be for a different charity. It'd be just a fun way to have a hometown residency. We love the rhyming so much. It's a good way to give back a little bit of what, you know, we've been given.
Bobby Bones
What song do you guys play in? The crowd sings the loudest.
Matt Ramsey
Back Memory Lane is insanely loud. Like, how's that one going?
Bobby Bones
Oh, that's a good one. Yeah.
Matt Ramsey
You remember that?
Bobby Bones
No, I do. When you sing it. I do remember it. You guys have so many number ones. It's like I just see a title now and I'm like, which one was that? Which one was that? Got it. So they. That's. That's your favorite one, man.
Matt Ramsey
That's. That's the one.
Bobby Bones
You're doing all these shows and you've picked all the different charities. Tickets are on sale now. You guys can buy tickets to go watch Old Dominion and you can. Man, that's a. Do you feel any imposter syndrome at all? Meaning if I had seven shows up I'd be scared to death that, like, none would sell out or only three or six. Like, how do you. How's your mental health when it comes to selling tickets?
Matt Ramsey
I definitely have that fear with every show. I'm like, I wonder if anybody's going to be here tonight. You know, it always works out pretty good. You know, when I was talking to our agent, I was like, is this a stupid idea? Tell me if we're going to get down to the end and nobody's going to be there. And he was like, I think we're going to be good, dude. Like, just stick to it.
Bobby Bones
I think you're going to be good, too. I think they're going to sell so fast, and a lot of them already have. You guys can go to Old Dominion Music, which is the Instagram. Find the link there. They're doing seven for seven. It's a Ryman residency in Nashville, all to benefit charity. You guys have a bar that's Odie's is going to open up. What's going to be the different thing about Odie's than a lot of these other bars that these artists have opened?
Matt Ramsey
For one thing, it's in Midtown. Most of them are. Most of them are downtown, but this one's in Midtown, and just something that we really care about. We really put a lot of work into it. So, you know, the other bars don't really have anything to do with us. So in one way, it's going to be, you know, that's the main difference. This one's going to have something to do with us.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah.
Matt Ramsey
We're not trying to make it a big museum for Old Dominion. We're just trying to make it a place that kind of has the, like, feel good vibe that we try to project with everything that we do. And, you know, we're just going to try to really showcase the local original talent.
Bobby Bones
I want to ask you a couple more questions. If, as a band, you guys were going to the CMAs, and how would you describe, like, what is the dress code at the cmas?
Matt Ramsey
Would you say it's more formal than most of them? I would say it's a pretty formal. You know, we were wearing tuxedo.
Bobby Bones
What if one of the guys, like, most all the guys were in, like, suits, but one of the guys wanted to wear a hoodie and jeans? How would the band feel about that?
Matt Ramsey
Hey, man, you. Do you, you know, do. Do your thing. If it's. That's what you want to wear, man, go for it.
Bobby Bones
Feels like you're Talking down to them a little bit, though.
Matt Ramsey
No, not at all, man. Like, dude, we're so far past that.
Bobby Bones
I guess you guys are.
Matt Ramsey
We've been together. We've been together for so long, man. If you don't want, you know, look, we have a fifth member. Believe it or not, he doesn't come to those things because he just finally said to us, like, guys, that really stresses me out. I don't really want to be there. And we said, that's okay, man. Stay home.
Bobby Bones
He can't wear hoodie and jeans. That's why we went to that. We got our CMA award this year, and Lunchbox showed up in a hoodie, and everybody else was in a full suit and tie, and we were just like, ooh, it's a little more formal than this. So I wondered what you guys would have done as a group.
Matt Ramsey
I see now where the question was coming from.
Lunchbox
Yeah. And that's why he wanted you to say, I'm a loser and I'm an idiot for wearing that. But you were on my side, so, yeah, I'm Old. Old Dominion all the way. I'll be at your bar.
Matt Ramsey
Step it up, Lunchbox. Come on, buddy.
Bobby Bones
Exactly. We're not Old Dominion. Hey, congratulations, Matthew. And good to talk to you. And the 7 for 7 Ryman residency tickets are on sale now. That benefits so many charities. Seven nights and all benefit a different charity. Have a great rest of the week. We'll talk to you soon.
Matt Ramsey
Yeah, appreciate it, y'all.
Don Toliver
Thanks.

This podcast is supported by BetterHelp, offering licensed therapists you can connect with via video phone or chat. Here's BetterHelp head of clinical operations, Hes Yu Jo, discussing who can benefit from therapy. I think a lot of people think that you're supposed to be going to therapy once you're, like, having panic attacks every day. But before you get to that point, I think once you start even noticing that you feel a little bit off and you can't maintain this harmony that you once had in relationships, that could be a sign that maybe you want to go talk to somebody. There's always a benefit in talking to someone because we can all benefit from improved insight about ourselves and who we are and how we behave with other people. So if you're human, that's like a good indicator that you could benefit from talking to somebody. Find out if therapy is right for you. Visit betterhelp.com today.
