00:00Well, Dolly Parton has been on the minds of millions of her fans since, I don't know, late yesterday when her sister said,
00:08I need everyone to pray for Dolly, that she is really under the weather, and her sister seemed concerned that this was going to be almost life or death.
00:20Well, there's a reason that Dolly had canceled the beginning of her residency in Vegas, and that was the beginning of what's going on with Dolly.
00:28And then it was followed by, put her in your prayers, and now the sister is apologizing for that.
00:34The sister is apologizing, which we'll get to in a moment, because more importantly, Dolly herself is reaching out to her fans and saying, I'm going to be okay.
00:44Well, today's October the 8th, and obviously I'm here doing some commercials for the Grand Ole Opry.
00:51But before I got started, I wanted to say, I know lately everybody thinks that I am sicker than I am.
00:58Do I look sick to you? I'm working hard here.
01:02Anyway, there's just a lot of rumors flying around, but I figured if you heard it from me, you'd know that I was okay.
01:10And I'm not ready to die yet. I don't think God is through with me, and I ain't done working.
01:15Interesting she didn't call out her sister at all.
01:18Well, but what I found interesting was when she said, people think I'm sicker than I am.
01:24So there is something, obviously, because we knew she canceled a residency.
01:28She canceled a residency.
01:29Well, she didn't cancel it. She moved it to the next year.
01:32But she had a procedure for kidney stone removal?
01:36Yeah, for kidney stones. Yeah, so, I mean...
01:38So there's something she's been going through, but that's what was shocking when her sister said, pray for her,
01:44and suddenly you're like, well, wait, what could have gone so horribly wrong with a kidney stone procedure?
01:49She is 79, but still, you wouldn't think.
01:52It's weird, because I think in our culture, when you say pray for her, it means she could die.
01:58I think pray for her when she's 79 is more...
02:00But what about 45?
02:02No, that doesn't necessarily mean that they're going to die.
02:04We've talked about that when we're seeing...
02:06By the way, her sister did clear this up and said that she didn't mean to scare anyone,
02:11and she didn't mean to make it sound so serious.
02:14You clearly took it that seriously, but I think that's because of 79, not because of prayer.
02:19But the reality is people pray Dolly did pass a kidney stone.
02:25You don't know that.
02:26Hi, I'm Ash from Atlanta, and I wanted to say, regardless of what Dolly's health status is right now
02:33or how open she's being about it, it's wild to see someone like Dolly go through something like this
02:39when she's always been larger than life.
02:41She's been a rock for so many people that now I think it's our turn to lift her up.
02:46So I think this just goes to show either way, our biggest legends are really human.
02:51So sending love and good energy to both her and her sister, Frida.
02:55Did I ever tell you my favorite trial I ever covered?
