one place to start.
Uh-uh. Rest in peace, Dolly.
We cannot go anywhere without paying our respects to Dolly Parton first thing.
There you go. That was a rough one. How did you find out, Sai? Sitting there watching T V and it came out.
What did you I just went what What's the first thing you did? Huh? I played nine to five.
Hey. And we lost a good one there, boys.
Yeah. We really did. Oh, Dolly's great, man.
I I saw a thing that said of the most universally liked people Who would be on the univ most universally liked Mount Rushmore of humans?
She's up there.
She's on. She was yeah. And she might be number one. No, no, I will say she is number one.
Everybody loves her. She the queen. She the queen, man.
Like I I don't
know anybody that's like
Holly Parton.
Ugh.
Yeah.
Well she was she was such a uh Icon? Well, on an original.
Yeah, she didn't really care. 'Cause you
know, she was just a simple kind of she was just a simple mountain country girl.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, that was very valid, very, very talented playing and then her her really deal was yo songwriting. Yeah, yeah. And a smart business woman. And and well no no, that's another thing. And and and they all called her names, okay, throughout her career and she just laughed it off. Okay. But her and her husband had a unique relationship. He didn't care nothing about what she did and and never I don't think he ever went to anything that she'd done. No, he saved the house. You won't talk about a sweet gig. Ollie Parton's husband. I can mold myself
into that.
Well, no, no. And they had a very, very good marriage. Yeah. Which is hard to do when someone is as as talented and well known as Dolly is and is always gone.
Yeah.
Yeah. Because that woman never stopped. Yeah. She was still. From the time she was little enough to to actually be on the stage, she was and she didn't get off of it, you know.
How tall was she? Was she five foot? Yeah. She hit five. Like right out. Five even. Five even. I suppose she won.
And Drew Brees is six foot. Same thing, y'all. Yeah, she was four eleven.
Yeah. I thought so. I, you know, she was at a couple of things where I never got to talk to her, but I saw her, and you know what? She was talking to everybody that wanted to come up there and talk to her. Well, no, no. And I didn't want to be one more, right? Like I would've.
Oh, I would've
there's
some people you break.
That's the one thing I when when I was out I never did get to meet her.
Uh see and the way she actually interacted in person was how you saw it on camera was good enough for me. I was like, That woman is who she says she is and I can appreciate that. Well, there was
no pretense with Dolly. None.
Yeah.
She was who she was and she didn't give a flip what you what you thought either way. Okay.
I saw something uh and it could have been AI, but like she got some song to release on her hundredth birthday. There's a rumor that's like more songs coming in Hollywood and No
no for the last few years she had I mean, oh they showed it on on the television the other day. She had like forty people that she done done songs with. Mm-hmm. And it was the Rock World. Rock and Roll World.
What's uh
Oh she went and took that collective soul song and said, Whoops, made it better. Well no Shine is a jail. Which gotta stink for like your one song for like just old lady to just be like, Watch me and a banjo make this song better. Uh But she never would,
you know, like with the fans. You know y you know, when you walked up and was talking to her,
yeah,
there was nobody else.
Yeah, that's why I'm saying
she's talking directly to you, eye to eye, and you know, and and that was everybody.
Yeah. I hate that we didn't get to meet her.
No, no, I oh, I I would've, you know, I'd have loved to to met her personally.
It's probably a good thing you didn't.
Well, no, no, I'd have got in trouble.
