Speaker 1 (00:06):
Welcome to the Bobbycast. This is episode number five hundred
and thirty one. Glad you guys are here. We're gonna
talk close to a half hour with Laney Wilson, and
then I'm gonna go and basically clear out some of
my notes. I've been preparing an episode on some of
the greatest mysteries or mysteries that I find still I'm
super curious about, and so I had them on my
(00:27):
notes and I was gonna do it somebody. But I'll
talk about that later, but I do have some mysteries
coming up, and then I'm going to review everything I
have on my pad here that I've been wanting to
review for the last three months, all at once. But
we're gonna start with this with Laney Wilson. Now, I'll
say this about Lanny. I've known her forever and it's
been awesome to see her rise and I did a
(00:47):
series for Amazon Prime. You could probably still watch it.
You can watch It's all up in one episode now.
It's called the ac I don't remember, but it's like
the ACM Awards pre art. I don't even know the
name of the show. But that being said, I've searched
for it. Maybe just go to Amazon Prime and search
for Bobby Bones. That show will be up there. And
(01:11):
I sat with Brooks and Don and I sat with
Laney obviously, and I never got to put the audio
out of the interview, and I thought it was really good.
So you're gonna hear me talk a little bit about
the ACM Awards, and that is because that's actually why
we were doing it. And you can also watch this video.
We took our whole crew out there and shot it.
It's super cool. I hope you like it. I thought
it was just great of Laney, so I wanted to
(01:31):
play it here on this episode. So it's Laney Wilson.
This is the full interview. By the way, this full
interview did not exist on the ACM Awards show. We
used like five minutes of it of this half hour
interview because I think at the time, Laney's documentary was
coming out, which you can still watch. I believe that
is on Hulu. You know, you gotta have a lot
(01:51):
of description services. Sure, I think I'm in that one too.
I think I'm talking about Laney. I think so. I
think they came to my office and interviewed me about
Laney and it had a hat on. They had to
blur out. They're like, can you take your hat off?
And I was like, nah, you really can't because they
kind of called me last minute and said can we
come set up and talk about Lanny. But anyway you
can watch that, you can watch the ACM special. You
(02:13):
can listen to this. This has never been heard before.
Thank you for listening to the Podycast. So we'll do this,
then mysteries, then full reviews, and then that's what's up.
Thank you very much. Here we go with Lanny Wilson.
I look at your social media, it seems like you're everywhere.
What does your calendar look like?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Probably like yours. It's crazy. I do feel like I
am like always looking ahead of a head of a head,
just to make sure I'm prepared for what's around the corner.
I don't see a day where I'm not staring at
my calendar.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Do you getting nervous that maybe you'll miss something?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Oh? See, my mama used to make us light for everything,
like ball practice, school, It did not matter, And so
I'm always trying to make sure that, like I show
up where I'm supposed to show up. And I feel
like I'm like ready to rock, and I'm always scared
I'm gonna miss something. I have nightmares about that. I
have nightmares that like, I'm about to walk on stage
(03:18):
and I still haven't picked out my outfit or know
what I'm about to sing.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Do you enjoy things now at all? Can you? Because
when you're so busy that can be difficult.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I do enjoy things. I mean, I feel like, just
like every job in general, there are definitely parts of
the job that are not enjoyable and you just got
to do it anyway. But I have to be very
aware not to just like go through the motions. I
have to make sure that when these moments, you know,
(03:54):
take place, that I'm I'm aware and my team is aware,
making sure that we like they celebrate these moments because
they can pass you by and then poof, they're gone.
I'm not gonna say that I've always done the best
job at that, but I feel like I'm I'm kind
of coming out of the thug.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Do you have someone that's close to you that reminds
you to be human.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
My fiance, Duck reminds me to be human. He definitely
helps me keep my feet on the ground. Also, just
kind of reminds me of like what's important. I know,
you know, we've talked about this song, but like, I
know that I'm not gonna be sitting on the couch
with my music career when I'm ninety years old. So
(04:40):
I want to make sure that I'm like taking all
the opportunities that i can, but I also need to
make sure that I'm taking care of my people and
my relationships and creating those memories. And he helps me.
He reminds me how important that is.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I've known you for a long time, yeap, I haven't
seen much change, except your clothes are nicer.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
What about back home? How has it changed for your
family and your parents.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I think it's been a big adjustment for my folks
back at home. I think it kind of like snuck
up on them. I think, uh, you know, being eight
hours away from Nashville and not along like on the
ride with me every step of the way, I feel
like I'm more kind of in it, so I am
aware of like what's happening and the changes that are happening,
(05:33):
uh to my life. But I think it's kind of
been a few pills to swallow at a time, and
they'd be like, oh, oh, okay, so like this is
the new reality. For the most part, everybody at home
still treats them the same. I mean, there's a few
people who have come out of the woodworks and acting
(05:53):
like we're cousins and stuff like.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
When you're we're from everybody's our cousin now yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
But it's been an adjustment, but I feel like they're
doing a good job.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I think one of the things that makes you special,
and one of the things that allowed your explosion was
your voice, not just your singing voice, but where you
come from. How you talk about where you come from.
A lot of that comes through your writing. Now, to write,
you have to be creative. To be creative, you need time.
Are you able to set aside time to allow creativity
(06:26):
or how do you do that?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
It's been a juggling act, but I have had to
force that time. We talked about this too, but how
important it is, like to just get bored and watch
paint dry, and I mean I was I've been in
Nashville for fifteen years. In the last five years of
being here, it has been like ninety to nothing. I
(06:49):
haven't hardly even been in Nashville. But I feel like
those like, first ten years I was here, I had
all the time in the world to find inspiration and
get creative and like go check check out writers Nights
and get inspired from other songwriters. And now it's like
I'm having a fine inspiration in different places and sometimes
(07:12):
that is that's work, you know, It's it's like opening
a book, watching in the show, having conversations, like digging
a little bit deeper than maybe I had to, the
first ten years I was here.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
When you were living in an a trailer outside of
somebody else's house, what would you tell her ten years ago.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Who I would say, Honestly, you don't even know what
you're getting yourself into. But it's like the most rewarding
thing you ever do, also the hardest thing you ever do,
all kind of wrapped in one I would say, be
(07:54):
sure to look up because just like we talked about,
you know, there's definitely moments, you know, it's like you
dream about if I could just get my first car,
if I could just get my first boyfriend, if I
could just do this. The same thing happens in the
music business. It's like if I could just get a
publishing deal, if I could just get a record deal.
If I could just get a song on the radio
and have a hit song, and then if I could
(08:15):
just sell a ticket to make sure that I'm not
missing those moments.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I want to flip it ten years ago talking to
you now, what would she tell you now?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Oh my gosh, I would think she would. I think
she would tell me that she is proud of me.
I do feel like, for the most part, I am
the same person, you know. I look back at it,
like a picture of me in my camper trailer days
and I can't help but like shake my head a
(08:53):
little bit and be like that poor girl, like had
no clue. But I feel like at the root of
all of it, like who I am and what I
say for it, all those things, I still think that,
like I'm staying true to that. I think she would.
I think she would just say, remember why you started
(09:13):
doing this?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Are you proud of you?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I am proud of me, I will say, as proud
as I am of myself. I am also my biggest critic.
Then people on Facebook cain't got nothing on me, you
know what I'm saying. I'm like, Oh, you think you
can hurt me, I can hurt myself. But that's I
feel like that's part of the reason why I am
even here is because I have been hard on myself
(09:41):
and I'm like, Okay, this song is okay, but it's
not like what I think it can be, or that
performance was. It did the job, but like, what can
I do to take it a step further? And it's
very rare when I walk off the stage and I
feel like I did everything how I was supposed to
do it. I'm always mentally taking notes about, Okay, that
(10:03):
did not work here, Maybe I need to try something
a little different the next night.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Are you a perfectionist?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I guess you would say I am a perfectionist.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Do you think that the product needs to be perfect
in order to have a perfect night or do you
think you need to perfectly attempt in how you have
your night? Like where does perfection come from?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
The thing is like when I think about my music
and I think about even like being in the studio,
I'm not trying to make that perfect, you know what
I'm saying. I'm not trying to. I don't know. I
want people to feel like they can come as they
are and they can listen as they are. Because I
wrote in that from that perspective as who I am,
(10:51):
you know, from a place that is not perfect, who's
like trying to be better and trying to be my
best self. But I definitely think that there's something on stage,
and I think you'll probably be able to understand this
from like from your perspective. When you do shows, it's
like it all depends on the energy that is out there,
(11:14):
and you feel like if you're not getting it, there's
something missing and it could be a weird night for
the crowd, it could be a weird night for you.
But it truly is like an energy exchange. And there
are some nights where it is just absolutely on fire
and you feel like you can communicate without even hardly
saying a word. But there are other nights where you
(11:36):
feel like you are fighting for it.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Have you learned through that experience that a lot of
times you're wrong, because I have where I've felt like
I'm doing terrible, the night is not going well, nobody's
laughing at my jokes. This, I've got eleven things happening
in my brain, not going right, and I get off
and the feedback from the people that I trust is
exactly the opposite. And that's happened enough times where I
(12:01):
just commit and go and understand that I don't always
understand have have you had that happen yet where you
realize maybe you don't have it figured out up there.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
One hundred percent? And it makes me feel better because
I was like there for a while I was walking
off the stage. I think it was just because I
had done so many shows in a row and I
was so tired and beating myself up that I couldn't
really see it for everything that it was. And Duck Mandolin,
my manager, all of them were like, that was the
(12:32):
best show that you've ever played. Like that one right
there is like one that you better remember. And in
my brain and in my heart, I was like wow,
Like I did not. I did not feel that way
when I walked off the stage just because I want to.
I want to leave it all out there. But I
will tell you this. Melissa Etheridge told me something which
(12:54):
kind of helped me. And every time that I go
on stage and I have this thought in my head,
I feel like I leave the stage in a much
healthier way. She told me about the eighty percent role.
She said, get out there and instead of giving it
like one hundred and ninety percent and feeling like you
have to get up there on that stage and like
bleed out and like, you know, just leave it all
(13:14):
up there if you if you do the eighty percent role,
it gives you that like twenty percent window and wiggle
room to not let yourself down so much.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Like having grace for yourself is a really hard thing
to learn. I don't think I'm that good at it yet,
but I think I understand I'm not good at it,
And that's like therapy talking where I think I'm getting
better at having grace for myself is exactly what you're
talking about hard. It's it's yeah, it's hard when you
hold yourself to a standard because those people paid money
that they went and worked for, waited for months to
(13:48):
watch Landy Wilson right, and there is an expectation within
yourself that's right that they don't go home sad, yeah,
or disappointed.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
I know because I think about like me as a fan,
which if there's anything that I miss more than anything,
it is being a fan out in the crowd. I
missed that so much. But when I think about me
as a fan, I think about like how hard it
was for me to buy that ticket and how hard
(14:20):
it was for me to like get to that show
and made the arrangements and buy the hotel room, and
like the entire year we were planning for that. That
was like a bigger deal than Christmas, you know what
I'm saying. It was like the highlight of my year,
the highlight of my life. And I still think about
(14:42):
those like memories. And I think too, it's probably coming
from knowing how important those moments were for me that
I put a little bit more pressure on myself because
I know that these people had come and worked hard
to be there, and they came there to feel something,
and I got to make sure that they do.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
My last question before we talk about the ACM specifically,
do you have anybody in your life that tells you
when things aren't good? Because I have found I can
only believe people to tell me when I am good
when they've told me that I'm not good. Yes, because
everybody wants to be your buddy and be like, that's
so great. But the people I trust to tell me
I did something good to the people that have had
(15:21):
to tell me, hey, that wasn't so good. Oh yeah,
Do you have those people in your circle.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I do, and I keep those people close. Like the
truth is, I always say, like I don't want to
take advice from people who aren't where I want to be.
I remember, even like growing up and singing, and my
mama cannot carry a tune in a bucket, but she
would try to tell me how to sing, and it
would make me so mad because I was like, you
can't sing. But I will say when it comes to
(15:48):
like choosing songs and picking songs and the ones that
I write, I can't always trust my mama's judgment, and
she will tell me. She'll be like, I don't think
that one is as good as you think it is.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
That means you can trust her when she says that
one is awesome.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Yes, her mandolin, my manager, my sister. They don't tell
me the stuff that I always want to hear.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
You need somebody to tell you suck, because that's really
the only people that you can believe to tell you're awesome.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
And also, I don't really take criticism from people. I
wouldn't take advice from That's it. And that's hard sometimes
because the Internet can be brutal. I think we all
can be like I don't read the comments, but sometimes
we read the comments. Yes, and it hurts. Sometimes it hurts.
It does, to be honest, it hurts, it does. But
I try not to take criticisms of people I don't
(16:37):
take advice from. And I commend your relationship with your
fans online because I see how dedicated you are to it.
I think they feel like they know you, and I
think you do a good job at allowing them to
know you and stay the same person.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Well, I hope so, I hope they feel like they
do know me, because I really feel like I know them.
I mean when they're coming through my meet and greet
lives and I've never seen these people a day in
my life, there is a there's like a true genuine connection.
I feel like they're just they're good people, like they
work hard, they take care of their families. They're not
the mean people on the internet.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I will tell you that that's true.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
My fans are not sure.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Let's reflect a bit. When you win Best New Female Artist, yep,
Phil is like twenty years ago, but it's not that's
your first real big award, Like, what can you remember
about that night?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Oh my gosh, well, I remember Miranda calling me and
telling me on a zoom and that was it was
hard for me to wrap my head around because her
and I we had like I think hung out a
time or two, but we weren't like buddies at that point.
But for her to call me and like deliver that news,
(17:54):
it was I was like, this is Miranda Lambert calling me?
And she told me she felt like she was passing
the baton and that meant a lot to me. It did.
It felt like I was really finally starting to like
enter the game.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
And you get to go to the ACMs an award winner,
Like you're going You're walking the red carpet as the
Best Female Artist. That's super special. That's the first time
you got to have your first award. Like do you
remember that night? Like, do you remember the experience of that?
Do you remember that that show? Where was that show?
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Was that one in Vegas? That was at that like
the big the big, big Arena that year? I think
that's where they did it.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
See, I would have held it. I would have had
an award with me even if it wasn't the real one.
I would have had a fake one.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Walk we do you know how that goes. They don't
get to months.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yeah, it comes in the mail. It's like, here's your
packing it. Let's talk about let's go off a level.
Best female Artist you win that ACM. It's like you've
just had kindergarten graduation. Now you did sixth grade graduation
and you're valedictorian of great graduation, which is pretty sick. Okay,
new level. How does that feel?
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I felt like, Okay, I mean, these these folks thought
enough of me and my talent and what I do
to to think that I am, so now I got
to show them that I am.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Were you surprised? Hmmm? I was?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Uh. I always like go into these award shows like
when my fingers crossed and like hoping for the best.
But yes, at the end of the day, you can
sit you can sit around and like dream about that
day happening all you want, but like when it actually does,
you can't help it, but just be like Okay, like
I told myself I was gonna be here, but like
(19:42):
this really, this is really happening.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
I want to go another year and it's Best Team
of all Artists again. But then it's Entertainer of the Year,
which is the graduation, Like that's the big one. Yeah,
that's the one that the greats have won. That's the
one that some of the the greats haven't won. Yeah,
were you surprised?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
I was very surprised. For me. It was kind of
one of those moments where I was like, how did
we like wind up here? Like I knew how we
were like wound up there. But in the grand scheme
of things, I know that it looks like from the
outside looking in, like I like I just showed up here,
you know, and I'm like, no to school. But the
(20:29):
truth is, you know, even when I won like New
Female Artists of the Year, I think I had been
in town at that point in time for twelve years.
I've been here for fifteen years now.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
And so.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Entertainer of the Year, that is the biggest title.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
That's the well, that's that's it. That's it. So it's
it's still something that I can't believe like happened as
early on as it did. But again it went back
to that same feeling of just like, Okay, well, these
these people voted for me for this, and now I
(21:12):
got to show them why they did.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Where do you keep that award?
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I built me a trophy case upstairs so I got
on my on. My trophies used to be participation trophies.
I don't feel like that's the case anymore.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Let's talk about Riba.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
When I say Riba, you say.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Fancy, fancy fancy, It's good U. Riba is. She is
country music. Riba is a legend. Riba is an icon.
Riba is Riba, I mean literally like it. It just
you don't even have to say her last name. It's Reba.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
The first time I met Riba, and there have been
three people that I've had this experience with where you
just meet them and you go, oh, this is why
they're iconic. Not only do they have the talent, but
there's whatever that is whatever Dolly Garth, Riba, whatever that is.
(22:17):
You're like, I don't know how to define it, but
they have it. Yes, that and that's Riba. It is.
She's so warm, and she's so famous, and she's so
and she's everything. But she's so approachable. Still when you
see Riba do it at such a high level for
(22:37):
so long, like, how does that inspire you?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Oh my gosh, the amount of times that I think
about Riba and Dolly Parton when it comes to decisions
that I make in this business. I feel like they
taught me a lot before I ever even knew them,
But like now that I can call them friends and
I can text Riba and say what do you do
when this happens? And what do you do when you're
feeling this way and whatever? And then she just willingly
(23:04):
sends me like pages of wisdom that shows you why
she is where she is, because you can tell that
there has been people before her who have poured into
her and she's like willing to do the same now.
It's she is a good woman.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
The parallel that I see with Reband, with you, you
just feel like the same person. It doesn't matter what's happened,
It doesn't matter what's going to happen, good or bad,
highs or lows, fame or not fame, money or not money.
You're the same. And I think that's a testament to
(23:47):
who you are as a person. But also the kind
of music that you're making and will continue to make.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
That means a lot. That means a whole lot to
me because just even like watching old interviews, it's the
same exact person as when me and her went and
got suffered together in Los Angeles a few months back.
What you see is what you get, and no amount
(24:13):
of awards and accolades and money and stardom and all
of these things will ever like take her away from
the things that might her her. And that's inspiring. The
main that sounds like a lot easier.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Actually, what's funny in the parallel is, and I'll be
brief about this, is that you're talking about you at
the same time. Because I can remember dming you going, hey,
can you come teach me how to do this dance
at my house? And you're like, yeah, I'll be there
in a minute, I'll be there tomorrow, whatever the case is.
And you just show up and you're like, here's how
to do this. The Goofy video sent you the same person.
(24:51):
It okay, you're closing, nice sir, selling more tickets. Yep.
But I swear we talked for twenty minutes before the
mix came on. It's the same thing that it was
five six years.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I am back at you. But the Bobby that I
met then, I swear to you. I mean, a lot
has happened in the last few years, even for you.
It's like it would be it would be really easy
to you.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Know, I'm Ai, it's not even me. This is my replacement. AI.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
You need to let me know how to get one
of them, because I need one of those.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Give me your favorite Riba memory.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
My favorite Riva memory would have to be getting to
sit down and have supper with her in LA with
her and her boyfriend, and I called my boyfriend Duck
and they were facetiming. They were talking about duck hunting,
and her and I were just sitting there and I
would just like dreaming up questions and asking her about
(25:49):
what things were like. And it is really crazy to
even though we're like in a completely different time, that
a lot of her struggles then are the same struggles
that I have now, and a lot of the things
that uh that you're just kind of scared to like
ask people, it's uh, it didn't seem like a silly
(26:09):
question to her. She she is a beautiful person inside
and out. So getting to know her has been, Uh,
it's been more than I could have ever imagined.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
And I'll say the same thing about you. Getting to
know you has been one of my favorite parts about
being in this city because to watch somebody like be
wildly famous now and then you can just be like,
what up, dude, Like that's you. You're an inspiration to
a lot of artists. Continue killing it. Congratulations on your success,
(26:45):
And that's not what I'm even happiest for you about.
It's just like the real life stuff you're getting to
do now, that's what I'm the happiest for So congratulations.
And I don't know, I feel like we'll be doing
this for a lot more years, So we will. Yeah,
there's no there's unless I might I make a fire.
You know. I'm very proud of you and proud for you.
Thank lady, Thank you brother.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor,
and we're back on the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I've kept a list all summer long of pretty much
everything I've watched and some of the stuff I've been
able to review on the show, and some of the
stuff I haven't been able to review on the show
because we ran out of time or we just forgot
to do Tuesday reviews day. But I'm gonna get to
that in a second. And this is my final I
guess summer is not even here yet, really, but with
(27:42):
Labor Day coming up, and I guess it's not balls
hot right now it feels like we're on the downturn
of summer. So I'm gonna give that review coming up
in a minute. But I keep a list of notes
in my phone, and the notes are everything from things
I want to talk about on the Bobby Bone Show,
things I want to talk about on the Sports show,
things I want to talk about on this show. And
(28:03):
so underneath all the reviews I had these one, two, three,
four five different things I wanted to mention, and I
think I had thought about doing it with a guest.
I just never got to it. So before I get
to the reviews, these are like five different really crazy
(28:26):
things I've been reading about. Number one, the Mary Celeste
eighteen seventy two, December fourth, eighteen seventy two. The Mary Celeste,
which was a boat, a big ship, was spotted drifting
in the Atlantic Ocean about four hundred miles east of
the Azores. I don't know where that is, but they
sent a big boat over to intercept it, and the
(28:48):
crew of the Dagracia boarded the Mary Celeste, which was
this big ship, and they got on the ship and
they were confused because the ship was seaworthy. Some people
had prepared the ship not only to go on a
long voyage, but had been on the ship. It was
(29:10):
stocked with six months of food and water. The Mary
Celeste had seventeen hundred barrels of industrial alcohol. All the alcohol,
all the food, and water, completely untouched. The captain's log
stopped suddenly, meaning the captain's log was It didn't have
to be the captain, but it was a book that
(29:31):
kept all the notes where we're going, what we'd run into,
what our goals are, etc. The only thing missing from
this massive ship was the ship's lifeboat. There was no
sign of struggle, no damage to the vessel. The valuables
were still in place and in the places that they
were left. But there was nobody on the boat. And
(29:55):
so I started reading into this. I started reading the
top theories as to why there was nobody on this boat.
Number one, alcohol vapor panic. There may have been leaking
fumes that caused the captain to fear an explosion was imminent,
and he made everybody evacuate the boat. The problem is
(30:18):
the lifeboat they took. There is no way it could
have taken all the people that were on the big boat.
So a little problem with that theory Number two, there
was a sudden water spout or a seaquake which scared
the crew, and then they abandoned the ship, which again
makes sense, except for everybody on the boat couldn't get
(30:40):
in to the little lifeboat. Next up pirates, except nothing
was stolen, there were no holes kicked in things. The
fate of the captain, Benjamin Briggs, his family, the crew
remains unknown. The Mary Celeste simply became the most famous
ghost ship in history. Nobody ever turned up from the ship.
(31:06):
Nobody knows what happened to the ship. It was just
out there. Wild story. That's number one. I got a
few of these. Number two the Tunguska event in nineteen
oh eight. Just after seven am on June thirtieth, nineteen
oh eight, a blinding flash lit up the skies over
(31:27):
this region of Siberia called Tunguska. Moments later, a shock
wave equivalent to one thousand Hiroshima bombs flattened over eighty
million trees across eight hundred square miles. I think about
that for a second. So whenever the United States World
War two dropped the bombs, the atom bombs, it was
(31:51):
over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and it did me a major damage,
killed a lot of people. This was one thousand of those.
And again i'll read you the numbers. Eighty million trees,
eight hundred square miles, eight hundred square miles. That's wild.
(32:13):
So there were witnesses sort of. Now, this was such
a part of Siberia where there wasn't a lot of
life there, but anybody that was close that were knocked
off their feet. And not only that, the night that
(32:35):
it happened, the light was so bright you could read
outdoors like it was daylight. The thing is, they never
found an impact crater. Scientists believe that a one hundred
and sixty foot meteor or comet exploded midair about three
to six miles above the ground, creating a blast, but
(32:57):
without impact. The thing is, if that is what happened,
no fragments were ever recovered. So if it is a
this meteor or comet that exploded midair, which was kind
of the leading theory, there would have been fragments below
on the ground because if something explodes, well there are
(33:17):
pieces of that explosion. But nothing they found nothing, No
definitive proof was ever found, so it opens it up
to other theories. Volcanic gas eruptions, alien spacecraft explosions. That's
where I like to go, although it's probably not realistic,
but this is one of the most mysterious natural disasters
(33:40):
ever recorded because we have no idea what happened, nor
have we seen anything like it since, and we all
wasn't alive then, obviously. Next up, nineteen forty five Flight nineteen.
On December fifth, nineteen forty five, five US Navy TBM
Avenger torpedo bombers left Fort Lauderdale on a routine training
(34:02):
flight over the Atlantic. The weather was clear, but about
ninety minutes in, radio transmissions revealed the pilots were basically lost.
Hopelessly lost, that's what they were saying. Lieutenant Charles Taylor,
the flight leader, reported faulty compasses and believed they were
over the Florida Keys, but navigators later concluded they had
(34:24):
likely been heading east into open ocean. Puil ranlow. Taylor
instructed the squadron to ditch their planes altogether. They sent
out a rescue seaplane. The rescue seaplane vanished as well,
with thirteen men aboard. No wreckage from any of the
six planes was ever recorded. The incident became the Bermuda triangle.
(34:47):
Maybe've heard of the Bermuda triangle, the Navy officially reported
as navigational error and disorientation. But this is where well,
a big part of the United States is lore with
the I muted triangle happened, but everybody disappeared. All the
compasses started blue flipping around. I got two more of these,
(35:13):
the Voynick Manuscript, housed at Yale University's Benicky Rare Book
and Manuscript Library. This manuscript, again called the Voyne Manuscript,
is a two hundred and forty page book dating back
to the early fourteen hundreds. It is written in an
unknown alphabet. It features drawings of plants that don't match
any known species. Now again we're going back to the
(35:36):
fourteen hundreds, so they're not trolling diagrams of astronomical and
zodiac like symptoms, illustrations of nude women bathing in pools
connected by elaborate plumbing, which again I'll say it, it's
fourteen hundreds. They put the best decoders onto this, every
(35:57):
attempt to decode the text from the code breakers at
World War Two, which you may have seen movies about two.
They've even recently they've stuck the pages of these into
AI and that's failed. Some scholars believe it's an encrypted
medical or botanical treaties. I don't even know what that means.
Others think it's a medieval hoax. Its author language and
(36:22):
purpose still remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in
literary history. And then finally, I give you one more
that had on my list to talk about. And I
think my plan was I was going to invite whomever
it was, Eddie, a different guest, to bring some unsolved
(36:42):
mysteries that type thing to the podcast, and we would
go back and forth. And I think I was going
to research these out a little more. I think I
did mid level research, because these are ones that I've
heard of just in passing, so I looked them up
a little more. But obviously I didn't go into it
because there are a couple of these things I didn't
don't even know. But and then we go back and
forth talking about them that didn't happen, and I don't
(37:03):
want to lose them. So that's where we are. Final
one the Taos hum in a small town and it
could be toasts Taos of Taos, New Mexico. And this
is so bizarre, A strange, low frequency humming sound has
been reported since the early nineteen nineties. About two percent
(37:26):
of residents claim to hear it, describing it as a
distant diesel engine that is idling, it's constant, it's inescapable,
and it's way more noticeable at night. Now, this is
about two percent of the population, and they don't live together.
They don't even know each other. Some of them do now,
But it's not like they got together and said, we're
(37:48):
all going to act like we hear this. This was
all independently reported and it's been happening since the nineties.
They have been studying this. Scientists from Los Alamo National
Laboratory and other institutions did a bunch of studying. They
found no clear origin as to what this sound was
that these people were hearing. They weren't living in the
(38:10):
exact same part of the city either, not the same age,
not the same part of the city, not. They have
no history of knowing each other, A lot of them didn't.
So here we go. We have industrial equipment, though no
consistent source has been identified, because you would think if
it was and they said, yes, this is obviously it's
this machine over here, this factory there would be a
(38:32):
machine they could tie it to next up high pressure
gas lines, or electromagnetic interference or psychoacoustic phenomenon, the idea
that it's generated by the brain rather than an actual
sound wave. For those who hear it, the hum can
be maddening, linked to headaches, sleep problems, and anxiety. For
(38:56):
everybody else, it's pure silence. What is it? Probably it's probably.
If I were guessing on this one, and I'll use
the word receptor, I think everybody's receptors are not equal.
Some of them are more sensitive. You can say the
(39:16):
same thing with like vision, with hearing, smelling, with senses.
I would say everybody's sensors aren't the same. And I
think there's probably something happening there. You know what, I
bet you some people know what it is, but they
can't say what it is because again, if we look
at where it is, New Mexico, that's where a lot
(39:36):
of the alien stuff is happening. Not to get back
on the alien track, but my guess is there's something
happening in this area in the desert that they don't
want us to know about. And there are people whose
sensors are sharpened a bit more or they're on the
same frequency to be able to hear this. Also, I'm
moving the crap out of that town if this is
affecting me, even if and I understand, YE have to
(40:00):
stay some more because you got a job, even if
I have to stay and work there, I'm moving two
towns away and I'm driving into work. If I got
to drive in forty five minutes to keep that home
from giving me a headache or causing me to go crazy,
you got it. I'm in there. You go. There's some
mysteries that I was going to bring. I may do
(40:22):
this type of show with somebody else, but I didn't
want to lose all that. Because I'm going through my
notes now. I'm actually recording this part of it on
the Sunday before we go back to work, which is
why I'm kind of looking through my notes. We go
back to work on the show tomorrow after we had
a week's vacation, and so as I was going through
(40:47):
all which I'm about to give you all my reviews
and I'm not going to do any spoilers. I saw this, okay,
So next up, we're going to do my complete list
of and it's mostly television shows that I have watched,
(41:07):
and I'll be quick for the most part.
Speaker 4 (41:10):
Here we go, The Bobby Cast will be right back.
This is the Bobby Cast F one.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
I thought it was really good. If you haven't seen
it yet, probably about to come out on streaming. I
thought it was really good. I don't know anything about
F one racing. I barely know anything about NASCAR, and
being from Arkansas, I should know more. I don't know
anything about NASCAR. I have sometimes have drivers on the
show and some people freak out, but it'd be like
(41:49):
having a soccer player on. Once I got a card
I don't even know who it was, but a card
like a sports card, and it was signed and it
was a soccer player, and I was like, I don't
know even know what this is. One of my friends
freaked out and it's worth like seven hundred bucks, no
idea who the player was. It's kind of like that.
But F one was really good, and I don't remember
the review I gave it on the show. But I
don't think you need to know anything about F one.
They kind of walk you through it, but I didn't
(42:12):
feel like they were like cradling the baby goo goo gooooo.
But I don't know, but I thought Brad Pitt's awesome.
Crazy He's over sixty years old and still looks that good.
But f one four and a half out of five
race cars. I watched the New Jurassic Park. It's for
kids or dinosaur lovers or people just trying to find
(42:36):
some American conditioning. Kind of stupid. Scarlet Johanson's in it.
She's good in it. There's a couple other people in it. Obviously.
I give it two and a half out of five.
Islands with dinosaurs on it, I recommend you can skip
that one. I have Squid Game season three, So there
are a few movies some TV shows. Three and a
(42:59):
half out of five violent deaths. Squid Game season one
is one of the best seasons of television shows I've
ever seen, and not really a guy that loves shows
in another language. That being said, man, you know who's
making the best TV right now places in arm America,
(43:19):
because we've watched like seven in a row. So as
much as I say I don't like it, we turn
the English subtitles on and we make them speak English
in case we look at our phone. Squid Game season
one excellent, Season two, good, season three, But you gotta
watch it, because that's the end. I'll say no more.
There's a show called Criminal Record. It's a British show.
(43:41):
It's about an investigator. I'm gonna be quick. It's two
out of five. Don't watch it. The some of this
I don't even remember the shows. There's a show called Nobody.
Now what I'm gonna do here though, because it sets
four and a half out of five. Oh I know
what it is? Yeah, Okay, So here's what I'm gonna say.
Bob Odenkirk is the guy and Nobody he's better call Saul,
(44:06):
better call Yeah, and from Breaking Bad than his own
series obviously. Uh. If you're just looking for a movie
that is pow Pal Punch, Punch, Kickkick, It's awesome. It's
not that long. And I think I watched it one
night after my wife had gone to sleep because I
saw that Nobody Too was coming out and I think
(44:27):
I saw that on the preview of F one and
I was like, Nobody Too. I'd never heard of Nobody one.
So I went back and I watched Nobody one four
and a half out of five. I'm not gonna say
it's John Wick because John Wick is in a class
of its own. When it comes to action movies, that's
simple and it's like it's just action, Like there's a
plot for her, but nothing in depth. You can go
(44:47):
to the bathroom and come back. He didn't miss anything
except maybe a few kicks to the throat. But if
you like that kind of movie, nobody is awesome. Four
out of five, No, four point five out of five
explosions boom. If you're over on Amazon, there's a movie
called Head of State. Idris elba and John Cena are
in it. It's pretty good. It's worth the time if
(45:11):
there's nothing else to watch. It's action, it's kind of funny.
If Idris elba in is in it, you know it's
gonna be at least invested in by the company that
made it. So it's a little kookie. It's a little funny.
There's some action, but I'm gonna give you that three
and a half out of five presidents. Head of State Boom.
(45:35):
There's a show called Treason Now. This is a British show.
The guy that's in Daredevil, he actually plays Daredevil. He's
the blind superhero. Treeson's pretty good. I believe it's on Netflix.
I give that three and a half out of five
m I five's or six. I want to what the
difference is in m I five and m I six,
(45:55):
because I think it's like CIA FBI, you don't really
know the difference. I can ask what's the difference in
five and six?
Speaker 5 (46:11):
Absolutely? So five and six are basically two different branches
of the United Kingdom's intelligence services, and they have different
areas of focus. M five is essentially the UK's domestic
intelligence agency. They're kind of like the British equivalent of
the FBI in the US. Their main job is to
protect national security within the UK, so they focus on
(46:31):
things like counter terrorism, counter espionage, and domestic threats. Six,
on the other hand, is the UK's foreign intelligence service.
They're more like the British equivalent of the CIA. They
operate outside of the UK and gather intelligence internationally to
support the UK's foreign policy and national security interests. And yes,
six is.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
The one that you see in all those James Bond movies.
Speaker 5 (46:53):
So in a nutshell, m I five is domestic security
and six is international intelligence.
Speaker 1 (47:00):
So in my six, I believe it's what they are.
Pretty good. Yeah, three and a half out of five
close range gun battles I watched Alison Borderland. Alison Borderland
is a show that is very similar to Squid Games. Now,
Squid Games is South Korea, Alison Borderland is Japan, And
(47:21):
if I didn't know any better when I watched Alison Borderland,
I would have thought they stole Squid Games. Turns out
Alison Borderland came out a few months before Squid Games,
same ish idea. If you can remove the Hey, I'm
kind of irritated because this is very much like squid
Games because it's not exactly like squid Games. Basically, Smith's
(47:43):
calling the gate hold one second, Okay, Amazon let him in.
Basically they're somewhere, they don't really know how they got there,
and now they got to stay alive. So there's that
component to it where they have to play games to
stay alive, which squid Game. Ajames is kind of liked
that too, But I really liked season one. I would
(48:05):
give season one four out of five asospades. Now season
two it was pretty good. I would give that three
out of five. King of Clubs and there is a
season three coming out, I believe. September October, I did
(48:27):
go watch Superman. I thought Superman was good. It was
a lot more colorful and a lot more kid like
than I would have expected. I liked the dark, gritty
iron Man, Dark Knight, that type stuff, but I thought
it was good. I give it three and a half
out of five Men of Steel. I watched Fantastic four.
I thought Fantastic four was better than Superman. I think
that is an opinion I don't share with many people,
(48:50):
but I didn't think it was good, and so I
would give that a four out of five. Stretchy Superheroes.
I just watched that show Amy Bradley is Missing. I
think that's what it's called. And it's only three episodes
and they're like forty five minutes each, and it's about
a woman going on a cruise ship basically in the
(49:11):
late nineties, and she goes missing. It's hard to say
you enjoy something like that. So if I'm separating myself
from what the actual reality of the show is, I
thought it was a pretty good show. And I do
have a lot of questions, and I think that i'd
probably theorize hear what had happened, but I don't want
(49:35):
to spoil it. How about this, I'm going to talk
about it now. I'm going to say, only the things
that I knew before I started watching the show. So
this could be a half spoiler, but it's not going
to be. It's not going to be. But if you
want to not hear this, you can turn the podcast
off now if you haven't already. Okay, we're back. Amy
(49:58):
Bradley is still missing. I knew that before I started
watching the show. My theory, it's not my theory. The theory
that I think happened. I think probably she fell off
the boat. I mean that is the least sexy of
all the theories. But the family, they are dedicated to
(50:19):
finding her, and there are a lot of eyewitnesses that
saw her alive after she left the boat. So I
wouldn't bet a whole lot on it. But if I
were to guess, what is it Aukham's Raiser? You familiar
with Aukham's Raiser? I could explain it where the most
simple thing usually is the thing, but I'll have my
(50:39):
assistant to do it. Would you explain Aukham's Raiser?
Speaker 5 (50:48):
Absolutely so. Aukham's Raiser is this handy little philosophical principle
that basically says, when you've got a few different explanations,
for something, the simplest one is usually the best place
to start are In other words, you don't want to
multiply assumptions or make things more complicated than they need
to be. It's not a hard and fast rule that
(51:08):
the simplest explanation is always correct, but it's a really
good guiding principle. It just nudges you to avoid adding
unnecessary complications when a simpler explanation will do the trick.
Speaker 1 (51:20):
So Aukham's raiser is kind of what I've inserted into
this because there are a lot of theories it's good,
though again weird to say it's good because it's a
tragic story. And if it were my sister, my mom
my kid, whatever that is, I think I would be
going crazy too if you never had any sort of finality.
(51:45):
I mean, it's a word, but check it out. I
give it four out of five cruise ships. So I
did watch the SEC show very much. Sports. I like
that a lot better than I thought I would. I
didn't really want to watch it and then find myself
rooting for other SEC teams the people I already liked.
(52:06):
I still like the people I didn't like that much. Well,
I didn't really know to begin with. But I thought
South Carolina came off awesome. Shane Beemer like I've spent
time with him, but he yeah, like we did some
sports stuff with him. I've had a low communication with
them afterward, Like privately, he came off awesome, good dude.
Who else did I like on the show? I thought
(52:27):
Clark Lee from Vanderbilt, Like, that's a dude I didn't
want to play for. Well, I wish I could play
a period, but that's the du I want to play for.
I thought that was awesome. I Brian Kelly from ULSU
came off exactly like I thought he would, like, not
very likable, good football coach, not a likable dude. All right,
Well that's all I got. I can now clear all
(52:50):
this off my notes. Thanks to Laney for being with us,
and we got some other good episodes coming up real soon.
Derk Spentley were sitting with him, and that's it. Appreciate
you guys, and we'll see you soon.
Speaker 3 (53:04):
By thanks for listening to a Bobby Cast production.
