Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another episode. I tell you what. Justin Moore, Hey.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
There, it's Justin.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
What are you doing, dude?

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Nothing? Many? Hey you guys.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
What's up?

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Dude? You're coming up the country days this weekend. That's
pretty cooly, corcor. So you're gonna be here Saturday night.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
We are, man, We're we're looking forward to coming that
way and looking forward to some some cooler weather.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Man.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Down here in the South, it's been uh, incredibly incredibly warm,
like like I'm a warm weather guy, but it's been ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
What kind of temperatures are we talking?

Speaker 2 (00:47):
We're talking heating he heat index of like a hundred plus.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
We get we get hundred minus here. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah. So what's funny is like everywhere we go, you know,
for the like I mean during the summer, everywhere we go,
they go, how about this heat? Is this too much
heat for you? Or humidity or whatever? And we're like,
we're from like this, like way down south, like like

(01:24):
it's way different down there, like this is this is
a break for us.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
But anyway, so why why, Justin, why do you wear this?
Sounds weird, I know, but why do you wear like
and not just you, but others wear such super like
tight jeans when you perform on stages when it's ninety
five degrees and the heat indecks is like you know,
one hundred something. Why do you why?

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, no, that's a great question. I actually just told
my tour manager recently, I think I'm going to at
my age now I'm almost twenty years into this, I
think I'm going to adopt the George Strait attire because

(02:13):
it's like really loose jeans, loose shirt. But I grew
up loving my My idol was really still is Dwhite Yokum,
and he wore his pants probably three four sizes too small,

(02:36):
and and so that's what I've done, because that's that's
what I, you know, looked up to. So I don't
know why we I don't know why we do that,
but it's really stupid, but we all do it. A
lot of us do it.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
It's a hit record. Why don't you write a song?
Why do we wear such tight jeans on hot days?
I mean, yeah, I don't.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
So like Dwight Yoakim, if he had a gig on
Saturday night, like you have a gig on Saturday night,
he would start putting his pants on right now. I
think to kind of get those things fitted up there
and well you had.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
To, you had to like light down and pull them on,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Oh, you've watched them, You've seen him do that. You've
helped them.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
No, no, no, no, I'm talking about me. I've not
helped him, you know.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
I'm just I know, I'm just you know me, I
got to give you some ship. I mean, it's just
the way he goes.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
Of course, you could just start wearing some really comfy clothes,
go out there and some shorts or sweatpants or something.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Well, yeah, that's what I'm saying that, that's what I'm
talking about, the George Straight attire, because he wears like
like the uh.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
The cowboy cowboy what do they call him?

Speaker 2 (03:47):
H oh?

Speaker 1 (03:49):
The uh sweatpants like relax fit, Oh, the relax fit. Yeah,
justin It's amazing you have kids. I mean, I thought
you killed those sperms off a long time.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah, you're not wrong.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah, how old are they now? Hold your kids?

Speaker 2 (04:08):
My kids are? They just went Uh this is their
first day at school for the year. I was just
sending some pictures in them before they went to school today.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
You could just say, you don't remember, what's that? Justin was.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
No. I had three daughters who are fifteen, thirteen.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
And.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Eleven, and then I have a little boy who's eight.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Why in the world are they starting school in the
deep semi deep South Now, I mean, my dolly, you
think you'd wait until like September and it cools off
a little bit. That's too early.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah. Well, and the weird thing is this is act
kind of late. Like we're one of the later schools
to start.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
I did I know that up here in Minnesota they
start until after Labor Day?

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Well?

Speaker 1 (05:10):
I know, well we we you know, Oh, okay, a
couple of weeks of snow on the girl before we start.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
When when do you When do you guys get out?

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Usually it's beginning of June, early June.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, okay, so that's probably why. So we get out
in like the first or second week in May's.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Sweet Okay, So that makes sense timing wise, school.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Well, and it makes sense too because in Minnesota in
May you could still have icy i mean ice on things.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah. See, we never get snow. I mean, I mean
it's it's pretty much in the winter here. It's probably
fifty sixty degrees, you.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Know what I mean, Like it's going to be this
weekend when you're playing, it's gonna be thirty seven. I
think when you hit the stage on Saturday.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Perfect. Yeah see what I was thought about earlier exactly.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yeah, you can wear your tight pants.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Are you liking this stage of the kids or is
it like because they're you know, they're they're getting a
little older now and I'm going through the I mean, dude,
my kids are now going to college. Like the first
couple of years of college, I'm losing it. Like I
don't know what to do with myself. It's really weird.
It's a weird feeling like where are you at with
all that? Because oh man, ticking. I mean, it just

(06:32):
it just flies by, dude.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Yeah, I mean, I mean honestly, like I'm a really
emotional guy wearing my heart on my sleeve. I mean,
I I could if I wanted to, I could start
crying right now about it. Like my oldest daughter started
tenth grade today, which is just unbelievable me. I mean,

(07:03):
you know, I mean, all my kids mean a ton
to me. You know, think about your kids starting tenth grade. Man, Wow,
it's just I just bought a car, which is that.
I guess if you had kids in college, you've done
the same.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
But oh, don't get it started.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
I'm too cheap. They got a car, but they don't
drive it to college because it's it's too much money
to park it. But other than what they.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah, My my point though, is like when you buy
your child of vehicle, like it's just bizarre, like you
know what I mean. Like, uh, and then like my youngest, Uh,
he just said his first football practice yesterday, which was

(07:54):
I mean awesome that you're going I can't believe he's
old enough to go tackle somebody, you know what I mean. So,
and then my other two girls are in uh, sixth
grade and eighth grade. So I don't know if you
guys could tell I was getting a little bit emotional.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah, I would be too. But is she is she
allowed to date?

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Oh? Yeah, well she she's not been allowed to go
out like on a date, like like go to movies
or go out to eat or whatever alone. But she
has had a boyfriend for Kyleen now almost three years.

(08:45):
And I hated him, hated him, but he's a really
good kid. I really like him. We actually went and
played golf, he and I. She was with us, but
UH played golf a couple of days ago, and I

(09:06):
went to I went to uh school with his mom
and I'm at a deer least with his dad and like, like,
we're all really good friends. Yeah. I mean, look, I
don't like I mean, I don't like it, but I mean,

(09:28):
you know, it's it is. I mean, it's it's life.
I mean, they're they're gonna have boyfriends and girlfriends and
all this stuff, and uh, we all did the same
stuff and it's part of life. But it don't mean
I have to like it. But I will say he's

(09:51):
a really really good kid. He's good to my other kids,
which means a lot to me. H. And so it's
it's as good a situation as it possibly could be,
if that makes.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Any No, totally, I think it sounds awesome because I'm
sitting there thinking when I was a kid in the
dating phase. That's what kind of gets me scared of
my kids dating is because of the way I when
I was dating, because.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
I know exactly what was Well, here's what I was like.
My wife has always been like, uh, justin like he's
he's a really good kid. I go, yeah, I was
a really good kid. But I know exactly what I
was thinking when I was fourteen.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah, that's what I say.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
And I had a girl, and I.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Had a girlfriend like I'm not you know, oh shit,
he's gonna start crying again. And with your kids, is that?

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Uh, the main reason why you moved out of Nashville
is for that reason your kids and your family or
just other reasons. Yeah, and and selfishly, you know, like
for me when I moved, I moved to Nashville in
two thousand and two. And when I moved there, it

(11:19):
was always my plan to move back, and I didn't know,
you know, exactly when that would be or or you know,
at at what point in my career or whatever. And
but but I knew I never wanted to make Nashville

(11:40):
my like forever home. Does that make sense? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Absolutely, Well you're an Arkansas guy, man, that's that's yet
that is your home. You probably want to be closer.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yeah, And and so I moved there in o two.
My wife and I had our oldest daughter, who we
had in twenty ten, I think, yeah, February eleventh, twenty ten.
I kept begging my wife to like, move back home, please,

(12:13):
can we go? Can we go? Can we go? And
she really actually enjoyed Nashville. I personally did not, but
she did. And then finally, literally one day I came
off the road. You know, we always come home on

(12:37):
a Sunday, you know, so we play like Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
We come home on a Sunday, and she goes, you
want to move home? I go, yeah, I've been begging
you to move home for a year. And man, we

(12:58):
were here and I don't know, four or five days.
Then we rented a house for a while, and then
we bought a house, and then we built a house
and then But it's it's been really good for us.
I mean, look, it's it's not for everybody. I've got
great friends in Nashville, great contacts. I don't have an

(13:24):
issue with that Nashville at all. I don't like it.
Uh it's it's too liberal and too big for me.
But we we we love being back here. And like,
for example, I'll give you one example. My oldest daughter

(13:47):
in first grade had my first grade teacher as her
first first grade teacher.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
That's really clean.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
So like, those are the type things that I don't know,
I hadn't made it worthwhile. I guess if you want
to say it that way.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Yeah, yeah, I mean think that's really cool. I mean,
think about it. I mean I can imagine the stories
that you must tell your daughter too. It's like, you
know your dad, you know, don't be like your dad.
Yeah yeah, your.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Dad used to do that. No, I was actually like,
like I said, I was actually a good kid. I
didn't turn into a third until I was.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
But you're the best, dude. We love catching up with you.
You got so much good things going and it's all
the personal stuff that makes it even better. I mean,
what a great family you have. And uh, it's gonna
be great to see up here on on Saturday and
