Today, it's a sad event, but it's uniting because Dolly Parton passed away sadly at the age of 80 But everyone likes Dolly Parton.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:05)
Yeah, it is sad though.

**Marc Fellhauer** (1:06)
It's sad.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:08)
Very sad.

**Brandon McAfee** (1:10)
But you're right.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:11)
It's been driving me around for a while.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:13)
Everyone loved Dolly Parton.

**Brandon McAfee** (1:15)
They do. And she was very humble. She was born in a one room cabin. Her father couldn't pay the doctor who delivered her. She was dirt poor. She talked about being dirt poor. Not all the time. Not like an oh poor me thing either.
She was beloved by everyone. She was respected by everyone. She was a great songwriter. She wrote some fabulous songs. How did she keep in people's good stead though? Why is she one of those people?

**SPEAKER_5** (1:42)
Oh, I mean, well, because she's just likable. She was bubbly.

**Brandon McAfee** (1:46)
She is.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:47)
Brandon, do you have the eulogy you sent me on text? I thought that was the best eulogy so far, that tweet that guy put out.

**SPEAKER_9** (1:55)
I did see a tweet that came out three minutes. That's the second thing that I saw about Dolly Parton. So it was breaking news. Hearing the news today about Dolly Parton and immediately started crying, she had huge tits.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:10)
That was a tweet.

**Brandon McAfee** (2:12)
I think she'd laugh. I really do.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:14)
She would, just like I told her, look at the...

**SPEAKER_10** (2:17)
Do you know what this is, Drew?

**SPEAKER_5** (2:18)
Have you ever seen this? Do you know what that is?

**Brandon McAfee** (2:20)
What is that?

**SPEAKER_5** (2:20)
That's Dolly Parton hiding behind a tree. That was the big joke when we were in fourth grade.

**Brandon McAfee** (2:26)
She would laugh at that too.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:27)
Yeah, she knew she had big boobs.

**Brandon McAfee** (2:29)
I want to squeeze them. She seemed real. She loved her big boobs.
She didn't act like someone who needed to tell us how to think, who to vote for. She never felt sorry for herself. She's been ill for a while now and she keeps saying, hey, I'm going to be all right, I'm going to be all right. The last notice wasn't quite as good.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:46)
It was on Friday though, right? Friday, she's like, I'm just going through some things. It sounded like she went quick. Is the story?

**Brandon McAfee** (2:53)
That's what it sounds like, for sure.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:54)
She got sick and it was just over.

**Brandon McAfee** (2:56)
But the fact that she was reassuring fans that she was going to be okay, that's different. We have so many stars who go, oh, look at me, I'm in the hospital. Pray for me. Yeah. Yeah, pray for me.
That's not what she did. She didn't do that at all.

**Karl Heberger** (3:13)
She was very talented.

**Brandon McAfee** (3:14)
You know what?

**SPEAKER_5** (3:15)
She was positive, right? She's a positive person.

**Brandon McAfee** (3:17)
Very true. She entertained us, she focused on entertaining us, she wrote great songs. She was authentic. I felt she was very real. You know, she, I remember she used to talk a lot about how short she was.
And I saw recently she said something about, that's why I wasn't afraid to emphasize my assets, because I knew being five feet tall was a big disadvantage for even for a female, she felt. Although I always thought she was beautiful. I always thought she was very attractive.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:45)
You liked her boobs.
