Lainey Wilson Recalls HARDY Taking Her To A Strip Club That Featured “Biscuits And Gravy Wrasslin’”

This Past Weekend

Who says white people have no culture?

I’ll admit, I’ve never been a big strip club guy. Just never really been my scene, because I always just end up feeling more awkward and sad after I walk in. But obviously some people like them, so hey, more power to them.

Some people, apparently, including HARDY and Lainey Wilson.

The Queen of Bell Bottom Country recently appeared on Theo Von’s podcast, This Past Weekend, where she recalled a time when she ended up an adult ballet with her then-tourmate…and it turns out, the strip club they went to had an interesting promotion.

According to Lainey, it was at the end of the tour when HARDY took her to a strip club in Huntsville, Alabama called Uncle Buck’s Boobie Bungalow. But unfortunately, they missed out on the main event: Biscuits and gravy wrasslin’.

“HARDY took me and some of my crew to a strip club in Huntsville, and they have biscuits and gravy night… He gave me 100 ones and was like, ‘Have fun.’ It wasn’t biscuits and gravy night that night, this was like a Friday night or something.”

But apparently when they told Lainey and her party to come back for biscuits and gravy night, she misunderstood what they meant:

“Supposedly, I don’t know if this is true or not, they were like, ‘Y’all gotta come back for biscuits and gravy night.’ And I thought, ‘Oh, that’s nice, sit around eating some biscuits and gravy.’

Nah, they’re rolling around in the gravy and people are throwing the biscuits.”

Sure enough, that’s exactly what it was: Biscuits and gravy wrestling. (Or “wrasslin,” as they advertise it). You can see the flyer here, which promises that “8 sexy ladies from all 4 clubs will be competing for braggin’ rights and the title belt.”

I love the south.

I was also able to find a comment from someone who claims to have worked the event in the past, and said they use instant white gravy that’s mixed in five gallon buckets with hot tap water from the sink. He also claims that the smell was “god awful,” so if you’re planning on hitting up biscuits and gravy night, just be aware that it might not be as good as what your mama makes…

Honestly though, seems like a waste of good biscuits and gravy.

Of course, the Louisiana native has truly had a whirlwind last few years, becoming one of the prominent mainstream faces of country music, after building her career on great records like Sayin’ What I’m Thinkin’, Bell Bottom Country and more. She grew up full immersed in the country lifestyle in small town Louisiana, the daughter of a farmer, and that influence is very prominent in all of her music still to this day.

She often talks about how her upbringing influenced her, and it’s clear how much those values mean to her now and how she has carried them all of these years. She’s proud of that, as she should be, and those themes are on full display in the song “King Ranch, King George, King James,” which was written by Lainey’s frequent collaborators Trannie Anderson, Dallas Wilson and Chase McGill.

The lyrics find her reflecting on how her “four-door, George, and Jesus” get her through the good and bad times in life, and I love the play on words and how she uses the “King” names in all three phrases, with each having a significant role in her life, to tie it all together:

“I could go out without makeup
Hell, I’d love to lose my phone
I could go stone-cold sober
Even though I like a drink and a little smoke
I can pack light, like a cowboy
A set of strings and a change of clothes
But there’s a few things you won’t catch me
Without when I hit the road

They get me where I’m going
Keep these soles on solid ground
From these leather seats to my leather boots
To that gold-leaf leather-bound
Got a ride back home, a Troubadour song
And a dashboard prayer to pray
I’m rolling deep with royalty
King Ranch, King George, King James”

If it wasn’t to authentic and true to her, it could almost be a little cheesy and cliché… but the simplicity in the message is so relatable, especially if you grew up like Lainey in any way, and it’s a creative title that I can’t believe hasn’t already been written in country music. I mean, it’s probably the most “country” song title I’ve seen this year.

Of course, King Ranch is a reference to her truck, King George is obviously about Mr. George Strait, and the King James Bible is the version that many of us grew up learning and reading, and it’s clearly still a very important aspect of Lainey’s life.

They’re an incredible trifecta, and I really don’t think you need anything more to have a content and happy life… Lainey got this one right, and I was surprised to find she wasn’t a co-writer on it because it’s just so her.
