00:00I just heard that Dolly Parton passed away, and this strikes me very hard because I felt

00:07she was a brilliant woman, so outgoing, so nice, she would come onto the set and say

00:12hi y'all to every one of the crew members, everyone loved her. And I don't think people

00:18realize what a brilliant mind she had. She was just incredible. I used to call her the

00:24pioneer woman that could do everything to survive, and she did. And I remember, this is a

00:31crazy story, we were down in Tennessee filming, and when we had a little time off, they took us to

00:38a

00:38horse farm, and down there they bred these Tennessee walking horses that high-stepping, very, very

00:45difficult horse to ride if you don't know what you're doing. So the guy goes, ah, no problem, get

00:51on my favorite gray stallion. So I get on, and he goes, and put Dolly on behind you. I said,

00:57is this

00:58horse used to, like, double-decker? I don't get it, you know? And he goes, no problem. Now, I've ridden

01:05horses all my life, but this thing was gigantic, it's like riding a building. So I said, Dolly, you

01:11okay? Sure I am, honey, go ahead. So I kick the horse, and it starts moving, prancing, then all of

01:17a

01:18sudden, oh, I have to add this, the hoofs are this long. They're not like regular horse

01:22hooves. It's like being on stilts, the horse. That's what gets them to do this. So it taps,

01:30taps, taps, everything is doing well, it sounds beautiful, we look glamorous up there, and then

01:36the horse stubs its toe, it trips, and then we start to roll forward, oh no, it's like everything's

01:44going in slow motion. And Dolly goes, are we falling? I go, we are falling. And this

01:49horse rolled all the way down, and we cascaded off of it, and landed in the grass, and the

01:57horse rolled beside us. Oh my God, we would have been a couple of pancakes. But she got

02:02up laughing, he goes, let's do that again. I went, oh God. So being macho, I said, of course,

02:09I was just waiting for you to ask. I miss you, Dolly. I love you. Sad.
