Tracy Lawrence catches up with Multi-Platinum hitmaker Justin Moore this week for an honest conversation about recent life updates, music, sports and everything in between. Justin opens up about his recent decision to step back from the spotlight to get the help he needed for his health and get sober. Now back on the road with Riley Green and already working on new music for next year, Justin is ready for what's ahead. The two reflect on the lessons that come with life on the road and years spent in the music business, while also diving into the world of sports. As co-host of the morning sports talk show “Morning Mayhem,” he gets into college athletics with Tracy, as the two share their takes on how much the game has changed and where it could be headed. With plenty of stories, opinions and experience between them, there's no telling where the conversation will go.

Joey and Nancy returned from vacation and immediately compared trips. Nancy described Key West as disappointing because of seaweed-covered beaches, smelly water, bad food, and a rundown golf cart rental, while Joey shared stories from his family’s 1,100-mile New England road trip. Joey spent much of his vacation waking up angry at Producer Karly after discovering she had secretly set a 3:30 a.m. alarm on his phone weeks ago. The alarm continued going off every morning of vacation, no matter what hotel he was staying in. The World Cup wrapped up with Spain defeating Argentina 1-0 in the championship match. Joey and Nancy admitted they don't know much about soccer but were fascinated by the massive prize money awarded to the top teams. Nancy warned listeners about the ongoing “Dookie-demic” lettuce outbreak after reports of a parasite linked to fresh produce caused severe stomach issues for some people. Hot Tea: Jelly Roll and Bunny XO officially finalized their divorce, with Bunny explaining why she removed her podcast episode about the split. Riley Green had fans debating whether his interview on Theo Von’s podcast showed dry humor or arrogance. A man had to be rescued from inside a porta-potty after climbing in headfirst to retrieve a dropped Mountain Dew bottle. The show talked about the massive opening weekend of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. Producer Karly shared info about the special IMAX cameras used to film it, while Joey and Nancy debated whether the film was appropriate for younger viewers. Nancy shared her first-ever road rage experience while driving a golf cart in Key West. A group of scooter riders approached her family until one of them noticed her husband’s massive arms and suddenly decided he wanted no part of the confrontation. Lucky 7 for $50 gift card to Copper Cellar Family of Restaurants Joey recapped his Great American Road Trip through seven New England states. His favorite discoveries included Vermont, coffee milk, maple creamies, lighthouses, historic battleships, and renovated boutique motels. His least favorite parts included expensive airport parking, paying for soda refills, deep-sea fishing in rough water, Augusta, Maine, and Nantucket. The show discussed a study claiming that driving the speed limit could save millions of gallons of fuel every day while only adding about 54 seconds to the average commute. Neither Joey nor Nancy seemed especially convinced they were ready to slow down. Joey shared a travel complaint about a flight attendant who denied his request to move into an empty Comfort+ row, citing a “weight and balance issue.” Moments later, another flight attendant moved his family into those exact seats anyway, leaving Joey convinced he had been fed a creative excuse rather than the truth.

Just three chords and the truth. Or a double-minded genre, unstable in all its ways. One song praises God; the next glorifies drunkenness. One minute it's faith; the next it's fornication. And millions of Christians are singing along to both without blinking an eye. From Ella Langley to Morgan Wallen to Riley Green to Tucker Wetmore, the message is incredibly consistent: get drunk, sleep around, break hearts, ignore conviction—but talk about the big man upstairs. Just sprinkle a little Jesus on top to pull in the nominals and voila… you've got yourself some country music. What we want to get in today is what Eric Church calls, quote, "Country Music Jesus."

Nancy was shopping at a plant nursery with her dog, and someone called out “OMG, is that Brisket the bulldog?” She was not expecting her dog to ever get recognized in public. Joey’s family had a reunion with the dog that they rehomed several years ago. Her name is Minnie-Boots, and she never really liked the Tack family when she lived with them... and still doesn’t really like them now. Nancy’s son Parker wants to lease-to-own a nice mobile home in Blount County. His friend is doing something similar and got some money out of his inheritance for the downpayment, so Parker asked Nancy if he could do the same. She had to inform him that he does not have an inheritance. Hot Tea: Megan Moroney had an awkward moment when getting laser hair removal in a sensitive area, and one of her songs came on the speakers. Riley Green wasn’t allowed to shave his mustache while filming his episodes of Marshals. Red Lobster is bringing back unlimited shrimp day. John Mayer had Lainey Wilson on his podcast and mentioned his hot takes on country music. He thinks too many songs are about alcohol and too many mention old, legendary artists. Joey really wants a pet guinea pig, but his wife says no. We called her to try to convince her.

From the Patriot Mobile studio powered by E|Spaces, the guys dive into a packed episode of Try That In A Small Town. They kick things off by reacting to the latest ACM Award nominations: who belongs, who doesn't, and why politics still run the game. Entertainer, Group, Duo, New Artist, Album, Song, Single, and Musical Event of the Year all get the TTIAST treatment, with plenty of opinions on names like Morgan Wallen, Jason Aldean, Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, Cody Johnson, Megan Moroney, Chris Stapleton, Lainey Wilson, Alabama, Zac Brown Band, Parmalee, and more. Kelly shares a huge personal milestone: after interning for Reba's company back in the 90s, he finally lands his first Reba cut on a song written in 2005. That opens up a conversation about prayer, persistence, and whether Christians should pray about career and business. The guys revisit the backstory of “If I Didn't Love You” (Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood), from losing a duet slot to writing something ultra-specific on a deadline and watching it connect. In the fan-favorite Dip Shitty-its segment, they unload on Masters “pond jumpers,” public bathroom pee etiquette, clapping when servers drop dishes, trash in urinals, rental car abuse, and more everyday behaviors that drive them crazy. They close with a powerful Small Town Hero story from Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, where a principal charged an armed student, took a bullet, and likely saved lives. It's exactly the kind of “try that in a small town” courage the show was built to highlight. If you like country music, songwriting war stories, small town grit, and unfiltered opinions, this one delivers from front to back.
