Since their first chat, they have continued to bond over what makes them so comfortable with each other: their Cajun roots. We love that they always give a big nod to Louisiana, even bringing a little bit of home to Nashville with crawfish boils.

Lainey Talks Burnout, But Still Puts in the Work

In the episode, Wilson opened up about watching her wildest dreams come true, but also the real burnout that followed the biggest year of her career. The honesty was refreshing and relatable. While she admitted to being tired, Lainey assured Theo and listeners that she was "alright" and was still rolling up her sleeves and putting in the work. It’s a great reminder that even at the top, a true Louisiana girl always keeps her head down and stays humble.

A Louisiana Episode Turns Into a Spooky Season Special

Just a few minutes into the episode, Lainey brought up The Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville, Louisiana, and the creepy experience her mother had there. Her mom, a former teacher, would take her students on trips to the plantations. She claimed that every single photo she took at the Myrtles came out with weird, unexplainable things in the pictures.

The Myrtles is a historic home and former antebellum plantation built in 1796. The property, worked by enslaved people in its early history, is widely known as one of the most haunted places in Louisiana and has been featured on television shows for decades.

Lainey’s Louisiana Trick-or-Treat Tradition

When Theo asked Lainey about her childhood Halloweens, she shared a sweet and relatable tradition. Since she was raised in tiny Baskin, Louisiana, not far from Monroe, she and her family would get all dressed up and drive to Monroe to go trick-or-treating. It’s a moment that perfectly captures that small-town Louisiana charm.
