And now, NFL Network is on the ESPN app. More football, more coverage, more ways to watch. Football's on, all season long, on ESPN and streaming on the ESPN app.

**David** (0:30)
Five, four, three, two.

**Ethan Klein** (0:38)
Yo, what up? Hello. H3 After Dark.
Welcome.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:47)
I don't think it's going to be good.

**David** (0:54)
But we're trying.

**Kate** (0:55)
We're trying.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:56)
We're here.

**Ethan Klein** (0:58)
Did we also hit the live button to make sure that it didn't do the thing?

**Kate** (1:02)
Yeah, are we live?

**David** (1:03)
It's live and it's counting.

**Ethan Klein** (1:05)
We're good.

**David** (1:05)
We're good.
And I just want to point out one more time, I was not the only one afflicted by this. That the smartest man I know was also afflicted by this.

**Ethan Klein** (1:14)
Yeah, once I saw the smartest man that I know suffer from it too, I was like, okay, David, you're good.

**David** (1:20)
I get a pass this time.

**Ethan Klein** (1:22)
Anyone else? It could have been someone else there. Look at the goofballs they're hiring over there.

**Kate** (1:27)
Jack wagons, all of them.
Guys, I don't know if you know this, but Ethan is on a competing stream right now. Shout out to Ethan and Hutch.

**Ethan Klein** (1:39)
Don't holler in that. They're doing serious stuff there anyway.
It's not chakra opening stuff like what we got. What do you got planned for us by the way today?

**Kate** (1:50)
Well, Dolly Parton is dead.

**Ethan Klein** (1:55)
Hold on, let me go to that other stream.

**Kate** (1:59)
Let me just pull up Israel Palestine to take the edge off.
Yeah, very sad. I just found out as I was setting up for the show that she has passed away. We have a message from her team, which is very sad.

**Ethan Klein** (2:18)
I thought you were going to say we have a message from her and we were doing one of those old like J station style videos. I was like, come on, Kate.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:25)
Really?

**Kate** (2:25)
No, I went to the gathering of the Juggalos and this is the content I would never I would never.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:31)
All right.

**Kate** (2:31)
So this is this is from her team posted just an hour ago.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:36)
Hey, everyone, my name is Brian Siever. This is a son of Cassie Parton.

**Kate** (2:40)
Shut up.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:41)
And I'm representing the partner and Owen's family today, announcing the passing of my aunt, Dolly Rebecca Parton Dean. Sister, sis, aunt granny to one generation and Gigi to the next. This video announcement is something Dolly asked of me years ago before I fully absorbed it as a future reality. As her head of security for more than two decades, a role my father Larry held before me, I've imagined the heaviness of this moment, but haven't truly felt it until now. It is an honor, an honor that is mixed with absolute pride and great sadness. But sadness lies with us, not with Dolly. Dolly has lived in the light and is in the arms of Jesus surely met by Carl, her parents, and countless others who have watched her and longed for her to meet them in the heavens.
I first went on the road with Dolly as a kid, getting a taste of the road life in the 80s. Dolly opened doors not just for me, but for her entire family to reach the potential we didn't even know was possible. Dolly also opened doors for generations of singers, songwriters, musicians, and dreamers from every walk of life and across every continent. By her example, we believe that anything was possible. She never saw a door she couldn't open, and the door she opened made and changed history.
My family and I have shared a lifetime of beautiful memories with Dolly.

**Kate** (4:00)
So is our internet still good? I'm just making sure.

**David** (4:03)
Yeah, we're still good so far.

**Kate** (4:04)
Literally today, literally today.

**Ethan Klein** (4:08)
I did not know this actually happened.

**Kate** (4:10)
Really? Yeah, I mean, I just found out as I was putting the show, the final touches on the show. And David, you said that she had posted about how she hadn't been feeling well and was getting back to it.

**David** (4:23)
Yeah, like a couple days ago, she did an interview of saying like, she hadn't been paying attention to her health because she was caring for her husband. But she was like on the road back to taking care of herself. And it was like an interview that got published like two or three days ago.
