Hey guys, Bobby here. We're gonna have a couple episodes up at this point of the Bobby cast and it just felt weird to not put something out about Dolly. We had talked on the Bobby Bones show a lot about her and our memories, but I wanted to play something. What I want to play for you guys is the final time that Dolly and I were together. This is about a half hour plus interview that we did that I loved and she dedicated so much time. It went out to her place. We did this. I don't know, it was just so cool. She was so cool. I was able to spend, I was counting last night, I think seven different occasions with her. Some for relatively long, some were show appearances. I know one specifically was when the fires hit East Tennessee, the Smokey Mountain area, and she did the telethon.

3:11I went up and helped with that and we're just able to be around her a lot as far as I was around her enough that she never was there. She never wasn't that same person, which is kind of crazy because I think we all get in good moods and bad moods and hasty moods. But Dolly was always the same. She was so kind to everybody and to me she was always so generous. I wanted to play this. This is the last time that Dolly and I hung out, Rest in Peace to Dolly Parton. The great Dolly Parton. Country music is going to miss her. 80 years old. I hope you enjoy the last interview that I did with Dolly. Dolly, I love you. I want to leave with that. Okay. Thank you. I love you back. Would that be fair to say? Yeah, especially now. I think we've been there. We all love you. So a question. I want to set it up first. I have a story that I do on my act where I talk about people that show up whenever you really can't. They're to offer you something, but nothing in return. And I talk about Lionel Richie and how I was freaking out one day because Ryan Seacrest, he got sick and had to miss Idol.

4:14So I had to go host it with like four minutes before the show starts. He's never missed an episode. And here I am. And it's not that I can't host a show, but the stage direction is such a big part about it. And I talk about how Lionel gets up all the way across the arena. He's got to get back to his seat too and just gives me this real, Hey man, hands on the shoulders. You can do this. The comedors did this. He didn't have to do that. Like Lionel Richie's as famous as nice as coolest could be. He didn't have to do that. And so I talk about how amazing it is when people will give to you when they want nothing in return. And so when I say a story like that to you, who comes to mind that did not have to be there for you, but was there? Well, so many people actually have more than one. In my early days, my uncle Bill, who's the one that took me around because he saw my great potential. And he would take me around to shows and things. And even when my dad didn't even want me to go, you know, getting out in the world like my uncle Bill used to bring me down to Nashville in the early days.

5:15So he was definitely one of the people that didn't have to do it. He just saw that that was my dream and my desire. But there are many people like in the business, many Pearl, when I first came to Nashville, she called me over one day and she said, I'm a real rapper girl. And you seem like you got a lot of talent because I've heard some of your songs. She said, but don't let anybody ever tell you that you need to be this way or you need to be that way. You just be you. And she said, don't let none of these old hairy, like good boys try to make you believe that you're not as good as they are. Because you can be whatever you want to be. And she didn't have to do that. But she saw that I was about to do my number. And she did not want me to get caught up. And like some of the girls were just kind of do whatever they needed to do to get a break. But she saw something else in me. But she just said, don't do it. You just be you and believe in your talent and believe in yourself.

6:16Why do you think she did that? Because she's a good person. Like you said, people that are good tend to do good things. And I think that was probably Lionel's good heart. The saw that he'd been in that spot before. And she probably had in her own time and in her own way, been in that spot. We went to Italy, my wife and I, and I'm from a real-time market. So I never went out of the country until I started to have some success. So now that we're older, get to do some cool stuff. And then we go and they would have Italian music on these places, but I eat sorely because my schedule is pretty early. And they would turn on American music everywhere we went. And three of the four places they turned on your music when we walked in. They assume every American, and it's probably right, loves Dolly Parton. Well, I'm sure every American don't have sure that they like, yeah, I'm sure there's a lot of people like, slap me up the side of the head. But I don't want to hear about them. It's a great compliment. I've been at this a long time.

7:16And I've been famous in Europe for years and years and years because of the songs that I used to sing and write like, code of many colors. And people related to that. They knew that I was brought up in a family of 12 children. I was kind of a mountain-centered, real story. And people related to my music. And so therefore, they related to me. And then when I got to being on TV and stuff, people felt like they knew me. It wasn't uncommon. A lot of my music was playing more overseas than it did here for a long time, you know, from my early records. But it's not to be loved by anybody any whiter. I was eating pasta, your music, though. That's what it was. Most places we went, it was you playing over the top or eating our pasta and it had a... Was that make you happy? Was you trying to get out of the country? No, it made me feel like I was at home, which is great. My set on my show, I have a couch and a couple lamps. And really, that's it because when I grew up in this... We grew up in a 900 square foot house in Arkansas, I never had a bedroom.

8:16My whole life, I slept on the couch. And so my closet was underneath my couch and it was literally... Everything was on the couch. Never had a bedroom. And so that was what it was like, though, for me growing up. And it's small house with a lot of people around. Your story, similar-ish, you're from small town. And Tennessee, what was home like for you growing up? Well, home was like full. There was a lot of kids. We had... Mom had one kid owner and one kid owner, as long as I remember. One owner here, and one girl in it. But we lived in the house where we... And we didn't have a run of water unless we'd run and get it. And we just kind of washed in a washpan. And people say, how in the world did you take a bath? That many people in the house. Because there were six boys and six girls in my family, ultimately. And then after we were all there, after Mom and had them all. But people say, how did you take a bath? How did you have any privacy? I said, well, we had a little screen, you know, a little sheet.

9:17Mom would have a little string over there. And we'd washed up as far as possible. And then we'd washed down as far as possible. And when the boys cleared the room, we washed possible. Yeah, I did, yes. Yes, I did. Well, it's basically, yes, like that. Because it was about your privacy. Because you knew when you could... You know, you had the girls had to do their thing, the boys had to do their things. A moment, make sure that we cared about such things as privacy and decency and all that. But when you were growing up, it's just natural. Growing up like we did. You learn the rules and you go by them. When you have all those brothers and sisters, you have to somehow get attention for your... I mean, you're born into an environment of everybody, even indirectly seeking attention. You've got a couple of parents, 12 kids. I mean, is that where this performance gene came from? Yeah. Well, my mother's people were all very musical.

10:18So, music was always a part of our family. My grandpa was a preacher. He also played piano and played guitar. So, my people were the ones that sang at funerals and weddings and shindigs and anything around locally, some of my relatives, somebody was playing. But when I was young, my uncle Bill and my uncle Lewis, they paid attention to me. My uncle Lewis gave me my first little Martin... Maybe Martin Gittar, because he saw how serious I was. When everybody would come bringing their instruments, we'd sit on the porch and sing. Well, I learned to play that little guitar. And that's when my uncle Bill saw the great potential. But when I was like... I learned to play when I was like seven. So, I started writing some serious songs. And then, my mom was fascinated with how I could rhyme and write songs about stuff I never lived. But I'd hear them talk about people in the war, somebody's seat, somebody's... Just those old-world songs that you just just think. So, I would write all these songs. And when people would come to the house, my mom would say,

11:19running Gittar Gittar, I would use to hear what this little thing is, you know? And so, I would get my Gittar and I would sing those songs. And so, I saw right away that I was getting more attention. Because I was... I have a sister and two brothers older. So, I was fourth one down and then I was eight younger. So, I didn't get a lot of attention. But I saw... I could get it. And I was one of those kids that needed a lot of attention. And I knew my mom and daddy loved us all the same. But we didn't get picked up unless we was getting them busted or... You know, or sick or something. So, that Gittar, my music, was my first entrance into getting the attention that I needed. And I'm still at it. Yeah, I was gonna ask you to still crave it? I do. I think that's... But I crave it now because it fulfills what I feel is my true gift. You know, I love to write songs and I've written tons and tons of songs through the year. But it's... I don't know that it's...

12:20I guess it is about attention. I just love doing it. And I just want people to see that I can do it. I want them to appreciate what I am doing. That I have written these songs that I hope are good. I think we're good. But that's for somebody else to judge. But then when they do judge me, you know, and I get the accolades from all that, then I feel like I've done something great. And so... And I do crave that. So, I guess... I guess the tension is the best word for it. Don't you guess? Yeah, I think I just was seeking love. Like, I think that was it for me where I would go. Okay, well, I didn't get a lot of love growing up because I don't have parents really. And so, I would go and perform where we're be funny and people would go, like that. I would be like, wow, I'm liked. And so, it didn't start working with me with girls until probably my 20s. Yeah, and then I just got married a couple years ago. I've been married two years, so... Thank you. Never been married two years in. Ah! But it's difficult because I already kind of had my ways wired. It was 40 when I got married.

13:20Well, yeah, does she have her ways wired? Yeah, I mean, I feel... I feel like I'm way more wired, though. Oh, are you? Yeah, I'm almost 12 years older than her, so it's not a crazy difference, but it's enough of a difference to where... Like, she still got some landing room to... Where I am who I am. I'm trying to not be that way, but what... No, don't you not be... Let her change, don't you change. I've never heard anyone advise... No, I have never heard anyone advise that. Okay, well, what... Well, you can't change. This is the greatest segment. Give me more advice like that. You know what? I've been with my husband for 59 years. He knew who I was when he met me, and I knew who he was. But we kind of... I was only 18 when we met, and he was 21. So we kind of grew up together. We kind of learned each other as we went. But I saw who he was early on. He saw who I was, and he saw right away that I was going to change my life. And I was going to change much. But I was able to adapt. I think that word is better about adapting than it is change.

14:22You got to adapt to certain things, because you can't just have it all your way. I'm going to take her to that clip, though. Have you saying she needs a change? I think you will, she... And cut the rest of it out, except for that. Well, I don't think you need to... I don't know where she's going to come. I ain't her. But I like her being... But... So... But don't change. That similarity that I think your husband not known for being a super public guy. My wife does not like to be in the spotlight. Oh, my husband hates it. He don't. He never was. So, how do you... What was that balance? Because we struggle with that now, because I... Again, I need it to be successful. She does not want it at all. How did you guys do that? Well, my husband was a homebody. And he's very quiet. And he didn't want to be at home. He's a homebody. He's a cancer. You know, if you go about the signs, I'm a Capricorn. He's a cancer. Those are compatible signs. If you go... If you put any faith in that, but if you don't, and I don't, to that degree, but he was...

15:24He loved being... Who he was and loved being left alone to do it. And I love being... It wasn't being left alone to do it. And so, we just found ways, things that we did like together, and things that we enjoyed doing that was us. So maybe you be you and let her be her, and then you've got to find some new things so you can... You can be us. You can be... You know, who you are, because that's the key of just trying to find that. You can't just... You can't just make somebody be what you want them to be. They are who they want. I'm trying to make her be what I want to be. But she's also very strong herself. That's what I'm saying. You can't make anybody change. You've just got to make them want to do some things different. Or be what I'm doing. If not, it won't last. And you can come with me in my husband. Well, you won't. I will. I'll be all right. You use this in court when I show up at your house, and you guys try to pick me up. Yeah, yeah. So...

16:24But it's not easy. We've been together all these years. But like I say, so much is how do you... You know, how do you... What do you attribute to your long marriage? You ask, well, I'll stay gone. So maybe that's your answer. Do you guys have... Just an example about my wife and I. I usually don't work three weekends in a row, meaning I'll work all week doing the radio show or shooting TV. And I'll tour. But I'd really try hard not to do three in a row to for sure carve out that weekend. Like we try to set these little benchmarks and pillars. Did you guys have any of that in your relationship early on? So you didn't get lost because my time management skills are not great to do personal and private. Well, I hadn't become a star when I met my husband. I just came here to be one. And he knew that. And so he went with it. But did she not know that about you? She did. I think though, when we dated pre-COVID for six, eight months or so long distance, then COVID and COVID, I'm home all the time. Well, that's when you get to know somebody. We got to know each other. Yeah. You don't know somebody too. You have to live with them. So you get a poop roll close to them. You know what I'm saying? That's...

17:24Well, that's when you know who you really are. And that's how I knew I loved her. But then once work opened up, I'm gone again. And it's like... And so I kind of hit her with the rope and dope, or I'd trick her. I was like, look how whole my am. And then I'm gone all the time. But don't you blame her false on COVID? So both of you have to take the blame. Oh, it's all me. Right. I've also learned that. So she said, right? Yes, I've learned it's all me. It's not all you. I take it. I have to apologize for what she does for what I do in her dreams. That's the thing now. Like, she has a bad dream. I do something bad in her dream. I better take a look. Or I'll say too much. Well, you talk about fame. Like, what is it? Fame. Well, I guess the word fame is after you. I think that word must have been invented after people were already stars had to be. Because I think fame and success are not necessarily the same words. And successful and successful are not the same words.

18:25You can't... You can be a success, but not successful. If you don't know how to enjoy it, if you can't enjoy it, if you don't appreciate it, if it doesn't work for you, and make you happy. Because that is money. Whoever said it, money can make a man. But, you know, I mean, man can make money, but money cannot make a man. It's the same. It's like, you got to... But fame, I guess that just means you've made it. And there you are. Just like a star. But it's like that movie, Ronstone, there was a line-in that I always laughed at. A star is just a big ball of gas. And that's kind of what it is if you look at it like that. So, I guess what you tag it too. I feel like I'm famous, meaning everybody. I think fame means that everybody knows who you are. You know, you're famous because everybody knows your name. And you, you know, they'll see you on TV. But that still doesn't... Should not make you a different person. Hang tight.

19:25The bobby cast will be right back. When I was 14 years old, I was kidnapped and health captive for nine months. I survived. And I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart. And these are the survivor files. I just remember this low-taunting voice next to my ear saying, Shut up. Don't say anything. Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable. I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me. I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed. And I just started screaming. They are abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced. But these aren't stories about what's taken from them. They're stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the survivor files with Elizabeth Smart on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts

20:28or wherever you get your podcasts. On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I choose option B. I'm Julie Beniero and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word Solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people and they were like, You smiled at us, not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

From bestselling authors and your favorite book talk creators to the latest pop culture moments, nothing is off the table.

22:59I was more afraid of being unhappy than I was broke and in a dead and job that I didn't enjoy. And feminist legend, Gloria Steinem. All of us were trying to express women's real lives. We need a meeting place of our own and if I can contribute to that, I'd like to maintain that and leave this house for that purpose. Listen to She Pivots on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back on the BobbyCast. Or it doesn't make you more of who you kind of really are. Since you have access and since you have resources, does fame, success make you more of who you originally are? I think so. I'd like to think so in my case it does because I've never been in diva.

24:00I'm thankful that I'm successful. I always wanted to have money. I wrote a song called Sacrificing and says, I was going to be rich no matter how much it took. I was going to be rich no matter how much it costs. I was going to win no matter how much I lost. And that to me, those two lines, it's like if you're willing to sacrifice all through the years, I kept my eye on the prize. And you ask if it's worth the sacrifice, but you don't, it's like empty or full. I've carried my pay, but you don't drink the water if you don't dig the well. It's like all those things, I think that I'm the same person I always was. I'm just more relaxed now, more comfortable because I can afford to be. That's what you were saying. I can afford to be myself. Just like when I started cutting, I had to wait. I never could make money. Big money, saying I'm bluegrass and I love bluegrass. And so when I did my bluegrass out of my side, I had to get rich in order to sing like I'm fooling.

25:03And it's like you kind of, you know, you could look at things like that. But I guess everybody has their own version of what they think fame and star to me is, I'm a celebrity. But all those words like celebrity star, you know, and fame, they're just words that tag the people that hopefully that have become successful and what they're best at. And if you're, like I said, if you're a true success, that means you should be able to enjoy it. Do you enjoy it? Yeah. When did you start being able to enjoy it? Well, when I quit being able to enjoy it, I'm going to quit altogether. Now, there are times I get stressed out because there's so much you have to do that you just get, you know, you're just burnt out. You just beat. Then you think all kinds of things. Well, you know, maybe it's time. You know, maybe I should do this and do that. But I mean, you're up the next morning thinking about something you want to go do. You can't help it if that's who you are. You know, like, it's like my song. I wrote a song called, Whatever You Are, Be That.

26:05Whatever you do do that because anything else is just an act. So whoever you are, be that. So if you're a comedian, be that. If you're a DJ, be that, you know, whatever you are, that's true to you and that's how you express yourself. We don't have to make ourselves over or allow somebody else to make us over. We need to be who we are and find ways to make that workforce. I've found that if I lie or fabricate a story, it's nothing I'm too good for. I just can't remember it all the time. So I try not to. So I don't. I just try to tell the truth and be as honest as I can. No, because I'm too good to lie because I would love to lie and remember it. This is more entertaining, but I can't remember it. So stay honest with you. I feel like that's been a big part of who you are. I just honesty at all costs. Was that always the idea with you? Well, I don't think no. I don't think about it like that. I always say, oh, my lives are true. No, it's like, I think sometimes you have to make excuses that might turn out you like a lot of people might say that that's a lie.

27:09But usually it's an excuse you have to make. You have to bend it to some mostly to spare someone else's feelings. So why lie? For myself. Well, I'm not saying a lie is okay. I'm just saying sometimes. When you say I come to your house, that's lie. When I what? When you say I can come to your house and live with you in your husband, that's a lie. That's a lie. Right. That's my point. Yeah. That's about some saying here. But my good heart would allow you to if you needed to. If you need to come. Of course, I was saying it to be funny. Sure. But my good heart would welcome you in my house. So that guess that's when you're successful. If you appreciate what you've got and be able to help somebody else with it. The album rock star in the book behind the scenes. Like they are both so new. Meaning you put new songs on an album. You didn't have to do that. You could have just done these amazing songs with these amazing artists and do your version of it. Same thing with the book.

28:14It is a book you have something you've never released before. Your fashion and. You have created fashion for so many people. So why keep on pushing as hard as you do. Oh, I'm not pushing. That's just I want to leave things like I was talking earlier before we went on the air about working so hard, but you know, I feel like I got to make a song. I'm 77 years old and I've done a lot in my time and I'm thankful for every bit of it. But there's stuff out there that I want to have my hands on to be part of my legacy. I want to be part of all these things that I know somebody going to cash in on when I'm dead. So why not make it right? Why not do it and why not do it great? Well, I certainly went with the book. You know, I had a book called Songteller and it was all about my songwriting. I wrote songs. How was feeling when I wrote the song? What inspired them? What period of, you know, in my life I was in. And so this one is the behind the scenes and it's about who can tell my story better than me? I know those feelings. I know those thoughts.

29:17I know the pain in the sorrow and the joy and fun of all of it and the people and the jerks and everything that has to do in my life. Nobody can guess that. You might guess at it, but you're not going to know. So I'm doing that because I want to get as much stuff out as I can with as much quality as I can. So it don't just get counterfeited when I'm dead and gone. And I've got my next book is going to be called... You have another, you have another song. It's like a three, you know, the songteller behind the scenes and the one I'm calling a star of the show, which is a name of one of my songs. And it's about my life on the road, the musicians, the travel, the hotels, the craziness and all the stuff. So I want to tell those stories. I don't want somebody else to tell them. But anyway, getting back to what you're saying, I'm the kind of person I have to be busy and I can tell you're the same way. I've got a lot of energy. And if I didn't use that to be creative, I'd just turn that in on myself and that'd be dangerous.

30:20Or I'd turn it in on somebody else, that would be worse. So I think that if you're creative and you have these thoughts, you have to just keep on doing it. And you know, it's like, I can't even imagine just quitting. That's why I say I'll never retire. I might have to quit if my husband got sick and I need to be with him. And if I was ill, you know, it would have to be a serious illness. You know, I'd have to, you know, I'd still be writing if my right arm worked, you know, if my arms worked, I could still write. But I just want to do everything I can because it won't always be this way. I won't always have this opportunity. And God's been good to me and people have been good to me. And I get scared sometimes when everybody tries to put me on some sort of a pedestal, I think, God, don't put me up there. All you can do is do not be off. You know, I'm not all that. You know, I talk about things like I'm not an angel. I just play one on TV and that's the truth. So I'm a lot of things. But when I try to be mostly, is a good person and try to be creative and try to be good to others?

31:26Final three questions. I have a lot of people that will be watching this and they're watching because they want to laugh and have a good time. But hopefully to be inspired to just, you know, commit to being better. If it's a mom, if it's a dad or a better fireman or a bank or working a bank, it's just committing to it. And a lot of people have trouble just committing to it because of the fear of failure. And I have to imagine that someone that has all these successes as yourself has had a fair share of pretty big failures too. Well, we all have failures, but you don't look at it like that if you're a smart person. Because even just like when I had my variety show years ago, it was intended to be going to be this or that. And I got a ton of money for it, which they had to pay me for anyway, even though it didn't last. But I was, you know, I was disappointed that it didn't work, but it didn't work for all the reasons I knew it wasn't going to work when we started it. I wasn't me. I couldn't be me. They were trying to revamp the overriding shows.

32:28And I'm, you know, I'm just a one kind of person. I'm just me. And if we can work off on me, I can make it successful. But if I try to go outside of my comfort zone, I never can make it work. But, but I learned so much about that show. Learn, you learn what you should not look at it like a failure, but as a stepping stone, I learned so much from that of what not to do, what not to allow to happen next time. That even another shows I've done since then that I've produced or worked in, I've learned from that. So everything is something you can learn from. It's just a stepping stone. And so I'm even, you know, I really am almost glad that it didn't work because I didn't want to continue. I was understress with it because I wasn't happy doing that. So as it was, I could have still been on there and fitted with me, you know, do more of what I know who I am.

33:29But we all have those things in our lives. And we're all, you know, it takes a while to overcome it. You know, you're embarrassed by certain things and all that. But if you're the right kind of talent and the right kind of person, you'll just take that as a good lesson. And by the way, I'm going to do a comedy album these days since you're having a comedy show. That's going to be one of my next things. People have always said, Your songs are super funny and witty. Like even the ones you don't mean to be funny. Yeah. What do you think is the most clever line, the cup, most clever, couplet rhyming line that you have in your song? Well, I think I'll top your head. I just think that one I just said, you know, I was going to be rich no matter how much it cost. And I was going to, I was going to win no matter how much I lost. Or one of my favorite lines in the songs I've written is a cup of ambition. You know, I get excited about those, those kind of things. But I don't know. I can't think right off the top of my head, but a lot of my songs are, you have a lot of comedy, but I'm going to do a stand-up comedy album someday.

34:32Because I like being funny. Me too. I just wish I was. You are funny. I want to say you are funny and you are good. And you are capable of so many things and you are so liked. I start crying. This is not even about me. I know. No, I mean, you're saying this. I don't like comedy, Jeffrey. But you're a DJ. Let me just say a lot of these people that watch this. You know, they'll be all over the world, all over the country. But you, we think of you as like a local boy. And here in Nashville, I mean, you are just fantastic on the radio. Everybody loves the low-go show. I mean, just like we get up to do it, you know, Amy and all the people you have on the show. But, and then when you go out and do some of these shows like American Idol, and you just have a spirit and an energy and a little, I don't know, you just got magic somehow. And I think you're good. And I think you ought to just be allowed to be good.

35:33I don't need any more questions after that. I think we end on that. And I'm not even going to play any other interview just that last segment over and over. Well, we like you. You're a local boy to us. Thank you very much. You are the best. Thank you for the time and the inspiration to so many and for letting me fondle your joy here. So do you get help from me. No, that's that. You got to come to Modern Carl's house and he's got to give you permission. You told me at the beginning I had permission. All right. Thank you guys. Back to you guys. There's nobody there. Okay. All right. Thanks for listening to the Bobby cast. Share this episode with a friend because they don't pay to advertise us. I'm Brett Coleman and I'm Trevor Sikama.
