Speaker 1: Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello. Welcome to
0:16
Speaker 1: the Naughty But Nice Show. I'm your host, Rob Schueter,
0:19
Speaker 1: and it's Thursday, which means our dear, dear friend Mark
0:22
Speaker 1: Lupo's joining us. Hey, Lupi, are you there?
0:24
Speaker 2: Lupi-lu-lu is here.
0:25
Speaker 1: Hey, Rob. Hey, Lupi-lu. You look very refreshed today, very polished.
0:31
Speaker 1: You've just jumped out the shower, or you're going somewhere lovely?
0:34
Speaker 1: What's happening?
0:35
Speaker 2: I have a hydrofacial this weekend. Ah! They sucked out
0:38
Speaker 2: all the gunk in my face, so I'm feeling pretty fresh.
0:41
Speaker 1: They're amazing. I've only had that done once. Our friend
0:44
Speaker 1: Valerie hooked me up. I got a freebie. I'm not
0:46
Speaker 1: paying that money. Oh, my goodness. It's like a vacuum
0:50
Speaker 1: cleaner on your face. It is. It sucks out all
0:53
Speaker 1: the dirt.
0:53
Speaker 2: They show it to you after, which is really gross.
0:55
Speaker 1: That's very clever. But it's really clever because once you
0:57
Speaker 1: see that tube full of just like blackheads and dirt
1:01
Speaker 1: and New York City grits, I was like, I'm going
1:03
Speaker 1: to pay for this next time. Well, you look great.
1:05
Speaker 1: It did work. I knew it did work. OK, let's
1:08
Speaker 1: jump into the show. What time is it, my friends?
1:10
Speaker 1: It is tea time. It's a big Dolly Parton show today.
1:14
Speaker 1: So when Dolly passed, I jumped on the mic really
1:16
Speaker 1: fast and did a short 15 minute show. And then
1:19
Speaker 1: Donny and I did the show yesterday and I wanted
1:22
Speaker 1: to get back to Dolly. But I wanted a day.
1:24
Speaker 1: I needed a day to process this because it really
1:27
Speaker 1: upset me. This is one of those shows. deaths that
1:30
Speaker 1: that knocked the stuffing out of me a little bit
1:32
Speaker 1: i was at dinner with bruce the night she died
1:35
Speaker 1: and the night we found out about it and both
1:37
Speaker 1: of us were subdued like it was a sad dinner
1:41
Speaker 1: it's had such an effect on us we're finding out
1:43
Speaker 1: a lot more information now including what caused dolly's death
1:47
Speaker 1: it was a secret cancer battle so she died at
1:51
Speaker 1: 80 following a very private battle with cancer her reps
1:55
Speaker 1: are now confirming this they said the following quote After
1:58
Speaker 1: bravely facing a brief, that's a key word, a brief
2:01
Speaker 1: battle with cancer, Dolly departed her earthly life today at
2:07
Speaker 1: the Vanderbilt Centre, a cancer hospital surrounded by loved ones.
2:14
Speaker 1: The type of cancer has not been disclosed. Now, the legend,
2:18
Speaker 1: the music legend, acknowledged that she had had some health problems,
2:22
Speaker 1: digestive issues. immune issues but she'd never used the c
2:27
Speaker 1: word and this this this was on purpose i spoke
2:30
Speaker 1: to some friends who didn't know she kept this a
2:33
Speaker 1: secret from a lot of people she didn't want us
2:37
Speaker 1: to have dolly and cancer in the same sentence while
2:40
Speaker 1: she was still with us obviously now that she's gone
2:43
Speaker 1: her team have put out the truth but this was
2:46
Speaker 1: this was a blow mark a couple of things did
2:48
Speaker 1: you know had you heard the cancer rumors i did
2:51
Speaker 1: hear some rumors And B, did you ever meet Dolly?
2:53
Speaker 1: What's your experience with Dolly?
2:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I had the feeling something was wrong. I
2:58
Speaker 2: remember her sister a few months ago came out and
3:00
Speaker 2: said there was something really bad happening and then Dolly
3:03
Speaker 2: came out and corrected the record. You know what I
3:05
Speaker 2: love about Dahlia is that she's the most recognizable person
3:09
Speaker 2: in this world, and yet we knew nothing about those
3:12
Speaker 2: intimate details. You really had no idea her husband, what
3:15
Speaker 2: he was going through, even her cancer diagnosis. So I
3:18
Speaker 2: really have a lot of respect for the way that
3:19
Speaker 2: she was able to handle fame, but also maintain her
3:22
Speaker 2: personal life. And then to the second question, yes, I
3:26
Speaker 2: did meet her at the great fortune of meeting her.
3:27
Speaker 2: She was a guest on Wendy Williams. And what was
3:30
Speaker 2: so awesome about Dahlia is that when she showed up
3:32
Speaker 2: with her her crew and she does not roll with
3:34
Speaker 2: just a few people it's a whole production almost everyone
3:38
Speaker 2: on the crew is like a family member or a
3:40
Speaker 2: close friend and they all ride together and she was
3:43
Speaker 2: so lovely she showed up in the full drag she
3:46
Speaker 2: performed for us she was like truly a light that
3:49
Speaker 2: you only see once in a lifetime.
3:52
Speaker 1: And that's why it was kept secret her inner circle
3:56
Speaker 1: Was really close. Yes. They weren't random people. They were
4:00
Speaker 1: family members. The head of her security was her nephew.
4:04
Speaker 1: It was the sister that first gave me the heads
4:07
Speaker 1: up to. And she did it out of just, I think,
4:10
Speaker 1: just grief and just sadness that Dolly was sick. And
4:14
Speaker 1: she put out a very simple message, sending prayers to
4:19
Speaker 1: Dolly and the whole world. Dolly had to address it.
4:24
Speaker 1: And Dolly didn't tell the whole truth. We'll let Dolly
4:27
Speaker 1: have a moment there. But Dolly wanted this to go away.
4:31
Speaker 1: I spoke to some friends of Dolly's yesterday and I said,
4:34
Speaker 1: why was she so private about this? And they choked
4:37
Speaker 1: up a little bit and said, it's because she didn't
4:39
Speaker 1: want it to be about her. Her life was bringing you, us, joy.
4:45
Speaker 1: And if we were talking about cancer and Dolly... We
4:48
Speaker 1: weren't singing her songs. We weren't smiling. We weren't laughing
4:51
Speaker 1: at how ridiculous she deliberately looked. Dolly put on that drag.
4:55
Speaker 1: You call it drag, and I think it's a word
4:57
Speaker 1: that Dolly used too. She said, it costs a lot
4:59
Speaker 1: of money to look this cheap. And she just was
5:02
Speaker 1: in on the joke. I love that because it's behind
5:05
Speaker 1: the scenes where you really know who people are. You
5:08
Speaker 1: and I, Mark, have been lucky enough, sometimes not so lucky,
5:11
Speaker 1: to meet a lot of famous people. More times than not,
5:15
Speaker 1: and this is an honest observation, they don't live up
5:19
Speaker 1: to who you want them to be. I have been
5:22
Speaker 1: disappointed more than I have been charmed. Dolly was the
5:26
Speaker 1: exception to that rule. She was the same person you
5:30
Speaker 1: saw backstage in the makeup room as putting on a show.
5:35
Speaker 1: What was the chemistry like between her and Wendy? That
5:37
Speaker 1: is a fun, fun combination.
5:39
Speaker 2: It was. You know, they bonded over having big boobs, right?
5:42
Speaker 2: And like over-the-top personalities and over-the-top And so it was
5:47
Speaker 2: an immediate and instant chemistry there. And it made the
5:50
Speaker 2: show really fun. And she also sang for us. She
5:53
Speaker 2: sang Jolene and other hit songs of hers. So it
5:55
Speaker 2: was truly a special time. thing to be a witness of.
5:58
Speaker 2: I think, you know, in the audience or whether you
6:00
Speaker 2: worked there, whatever it was, everyone was so excited. The
6:03
Speaker 2: janitor stopped, you know.
6:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you really know. I've been on a
6:07
Speaker 1: lot of sets, many of them with you, Mark, when
6:10
Speaker 1: the janitor stops, when the people come out the accounting
6:13
Speaker 1: office and take it. That's when you know you're in
6:16
Speaker 1: the company of royalty. That's what Dolly Parton was, royal.
6:20
Speaker 1: But now we do know she had a short, they're
6:23
Speaker 1: saying a brief, that's their word, a brief battle with cancer.
6:27
Speaker 1: When she started cancelling shows, that's when people in the
6:29
Speaker 1: music business knew something was up because she didn't cancel shows.
6:33
Speaker 1: She had a work ethic like no other. She worked.
6:38
Speaker 1: She worked constantly. And it was about the fans. She
6:42
Speaker 1: once said, But she knows how difficult it is to
6:45
Speaker 1: get off your bottom, get in the car, drive to
6:47
Speaker 1: a concert, pay the babysitter, maybe buy dinner, buy a
6:51
Speaker 1: Diet Coke, drive home. It's really expensive. She never forgot that.
6:55
Speaker 1: And she always wanted to be there for her fans.
6:58
Speaker 1: So the combination of her cancelling concerts and then her
7:01
Speaker 1: sister loose lips, that sister, that sister. It'll be Doris.
7:06
Speaker 1: God forbid you're ever sick, Mark, but it'll be Doris. Oh, yes.
7:09
Speaker 1: We've got to all keep a dark... Mine will be
7:11
Speaker 1: my sister, Christine. Which brings us to our poll question
7:14
Speaker 1: of the day. Dolly did not reveal that she had
7:17
Speaker 1: cancer to even some of her closest friends. Are you
7:21
Speaker 1: surprised that Dolly kept this a secret? As Mark said,
7:24
Speaker 1: we know so much about her, or we thought we did.
7:27
Speaker 1: We actually didn't. She kept that marriage of almost 60
7:31
Speaker 1: years with Carl really under wraps. Dolly only let us
7:36
Speaker 1: know what she wanted us to know. So were you surprised? Hey,
7:38
Speaker 1: go vote on our X page, our Twitter page at
7:41
Speaker 1: Naughty Nice Rob, our Facebook pages, Naughty Gossip, and be
7:46
Speaker 1: sure to check back tomorrow to hear your results. More
7:49
Speaker 1: on Dolly. What else do we know, Mark? What are
7:51
Speaker 1: you working on? That's right.
7:52
Speaker 2: So we have Dolly's private funeral plans. They've been revealed.
7:56
Speaker 2: So Dolly will be remembered at the small private funeral
7:59
Speaker 2: attended by an immediate family. According to her reps, the
8:02
Speaker 2: national service was planned at Dolly's request, but the country
8:06
Speaker 2: legend expects to be laid to rest by her beloved husband,
8:09
Speaker 2: Carl Dean, at the Woodlawn Memorial and Mausoleum. Now, in
8:12
Speaker 2: true Dolly fashion, she says she'll be buried in her
8:15
Speaker 2: signature high heels... And instead of flowers, she's asking fans
8:19
Speaker 2: to donate to her imagination library. And this is the
8:23
Speaker 2: best part. Dolly revealed the song she wanted to play
8:26
Speaker 2: at her funeral, which is not going to be, you know,
8:29
Speaker 2: the Whitney Houston. It's going to be It's Going to
8:32
Speaker 2: Be If We Never Met Again.
8:34
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a gospel song. That's a very big... I
8:38
Speaker 1: think her father, her father, Robert Lee... part and that
8:43
Speaker 1: was his favourite song too. I think we've got to
8:46
Speaker 1: be honest here. I Will Always Love You will play somewhere.
8:50
Speaker 1: It might not be Dolly's number one choice. I was
8:53
Speaker 1: talking about this this morning to a radio programmer, a
8:57
Speaker 1: friend of mine who programs the big Z100 type channels
9:02
Speaker 1: and I said what song are you going to play?
9:04
Speaker 1: Now it's interesting. On iTunes Dolly is number one, two
9:08
Speaker 1: and three. Number one is Jolene. It's not I Will
9:12
Speaker 1: Always Love You. Number two is 9 to 5. Number
9:17
Speaker 1: three is I Will Always Love You. And I said,
9:19
Speaker 1: why is that? And they said, it's quite complicated. Because
9:23
Speaker 1: when Dolly recorded that song, it wasn't a big hit.
9:26
Speaker 1: It was Whitney Houston that turned it into the biggest
9:29
Speaker 1: song maybe of a generation, the biggest single by a
9:32
Speaker 1: female singer of all time. Do you play the Whitney version?
9:36
Speaker 1: Or do you play the Dolly version? Which version would
9:39
Speaker 1: you play on your radio show?
9:40
Speaker 2: I mean, for a long time, I didn't know that
9:42
Speaker 2: Dolly had the version. Shame on you. Shame, shame, shame.
9:45
Speaker 2: But I'm being honest here with all of you guys.
9:48
Speaker 2: You know, I like both. They're very different. But Dolly's is, like,
9:51
Speaker 2: kind of soothing and very country and sweet. So I
9:54
Speaker 2: would play both, maybe.
9:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd play Jolene. I'd get out of the problem.
9:58
Speaker 1: I just would say, like, let's do 9 to 5
10:02
Speaker 1: or Jolene. Because if you play the Whitney Houston one,
10:05
Speaker 1: it's not Dolly singing, but it is magnificent. Even Dolly
10:08
Speaker 1: said that. Dolly acknowledged the Whitney one's better. It is
10:12
Speaker 1: one of the greatest. I'm married to a songwriter, a
10:15
Speaker 1: Grammy-winning songwriter. He would admit... The Whitney Houston record is
10:20
Speaker 1: one of the best produced records. That's what a producer does.
10:24
Speaker 1: If you don't know what a producer does, listen to
10:26
Speaker 1: Dolly's version. Listen to Whitney's and the key changes and
10:31
Speaker 1: the big finish and that moment when she closes her
10:34
Speaker 1: eyes and the music pauses and then she opens her
10:36
Speaker 1: eyes and keeps.
10:37
Speaker 2: Oh, I love it.
10:38
Speaker 1: It's full drag queen deliciousness. And so I think I
10:42
Speaker 1: would play Jolene too. Okay, moving along. Dolly made a
10:46
Speaker 1: final request to her family. Just before she died, she
10:50
Speaker 1: said she wanted to be laid to rest on a, quote,
10:54
Speaker 1: beautiful bed of plush cotton. So her head of security,
10:58
Speaker 1: her nephew, Brian, revealed this. He said, after a lifetime
11:02
Speaker 1: of wearing heavy rhinestones, she wanted to be comfortable. I
11:09
Speaker 1: love this, but there's a little bit of a joke
11:11
Speaker 1: in this, too. Dolly will be buried as Dolly. the wigs,
11:16
Speaker 1: the shoes, the riser. There's going to be a lot
11:18
Speaker 1: of plush cotton. I hope she's on a bed of
11:22
Speaker 1: just heaven, but she's going to go off as Dolly.
11:27
Speaker 2: Of course, you know, but it sounds like I want
11:28
Speaker 2: that now, maybe.
11:29
Speaker 1: Oh, Oh, would you rather the bed of cotton right now?
11:35
Speaker 1: Or would you rather the rhinestones? I do love me
11:37
Speaker 1: a rhinestone.
11:38
Speaker 2: We are in New York City, so I think rhinestones.
11:41
Speaker 1: I'm going with the rhinestones. Okay, moving along. I thought
11:44
Speaker 1: this was really, really sweet too. Taylor Swift, arguably the
11:49
Speaker 1: biggest country artist of the moment or the biggest artist
11:52
Speaker 1: of the moment. really admired Dolly. What does Taylor have
11:55
Speaker 1: to say about all this, Mark? That's right.
11:57
Speaker 2: She paid an emotional tribute to Dolly following her death.
12:00
Speaker 2: And she said, a world without Dolly doesn't feel possible,
12:03
Speaker 2: real or right. She said Dolly was the gift that
12:07
Speaker 2: kept on giving and celebrated her combination of true grace
12:11
Speaker 2: and grit.
12:13
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful thing. There would be no Taylor Swift
12:15
Speaker 1: without Dolly Parton. There really wouldn't be. And so I
12:18
Speaker 1: think we have to acknowledge that and really tip our
12:22
Speaker 1: Hats to that. I do know there's going to be
12:24
Speaker 1: a private service. The family said Dolly did not want
12:27
Speaker 1: a massive, massive celebration immediately. She's going to be laid
12:32
Speaker 1: to rest in a very private service. She was, what,
12:35
Speaker 1: the fourth of 12 kids. There's a massive family. They
12:38
Speaker 1: have children, nieces, nephews. So it's going to be family members.
12:42
Speaker 1: But I am told down the road and not that
12:45
Speaker 1: far down the road, There are already talks and plans
12:49
Speaker 1: about having a tribute. I know the network, CBS and
12:52
Speaker 1: ABC and NBC, they would be silly not to put
12:55
Speaker 1: together this big thing. And so I'm told every artist
13:00
Speaker 1: is lining up to do this. I'm talking about Beyonce,
13:04
Speaker 1: who gave a beautiful statement calling Dolly the barometer. Beyonce,
13:10
Speaker 1: Miley Cyrus. If Miley can perform, she will, I am told.
13:14
Speaker 1: Miley is devastated. Taylor Swift. We also have Paul McCartney,
13:19
Speaker 1: a Beatle. There is no genre of music that didn't
13:24
Speaker 1: respect the Queen, Dolly Parton. I would definitely tune in.
13:29
Speaker 1: I'd love to go to a big celebration event of
13:33
Speaker 1: her life. I don't think there's a stadium big enough,
13:36
Speaker 1: do you, for all these artists?
13:38
Speaker 2: I don't think there is. She's looked at as an
13:41
Speaker 2: icon of American culture, and they're even going to be
13:43
Speaker 2: lowering the flag of staff for the next week or
13:46
Speaker 2: so because that's the influence she's had on all of us.
13:48
Speaker 2: It's such a major deal. And so I can't imagine,
13:51
Speaker 2: maybe multiple stadiums could fit all these people.
13:55
Speaker 1: I was thinking about it. I guess Live Aid is
13:57
Speaker 1: the example of these multiple artists who are all together.
14:00
Speaker 1: Funeral Rise, Michael Jackson was at the Staples Center. I
14:04
Speaker 1: think this is going to be bigger. I think that
14:06
Speaker 1: this is going to be bigger than that. Oh, Dolly Parton,
14:10
Speaker 1: the joy, the joy that you have brought us. And
14:13
Speaker 1: it's not ended. That's the thing with people like Dolly.
14:17
Speaker 1: They leave behind a legacy, a history of this music
14:21
Speaker 1: that we can play forever. At the minute, I think
14:25
Speaker 1: four of her songs are on the top five on iTunes.
14:29
Speaker 1: By the end of tonight, it might be five. It
14:32
Speaker 1: really might be. I would imagine her album sales are
14:35
Speaker 1: going to explode this week. It's so interesting. Jolene, Bruce said,
14:40
Speaker 1: my husband Bruce is a songwriter. He said one of
14:43
Speaker 1: the reasons that Jolene might be number one is it
14:46
Speaker 1: also appeals to a country crowd. So Jolene is a
14:50
Speaker 1: very much a country song that did cross over. So
14:52
Speaker 1: it gets the best of both worlds, doesn't it? We're
14:55
Speaker 1: definitely going to keep an eye on the charts. Dolly,
14:58
Speaker 1: we will always love you. Okay, we're going to take
15:01
Speaker 1: a quick break and we will be right back. Welcome
15:05
Speaker 1: back to the Naughty But Nice Show. I'm your host,
15:08
Speaker 1: Rob Shooter. Hey, Mark. Let's get to the polls. Last
15:12
Speaker 1: show we talked about Hayden Panettiere. Could not leave. Could
15:16
Speaker 1: not leave her troubled boyfriend because he was so charming.
15:20
Speaker 1: His sister said he was so charming. She couldn't get
15:23
Speaker 1: away from this guy every time she left. His charm
15:27
Speaker 1: made her come back. Can you relate? Have you ever
15:29
Speaker 1: been with a bad guy, a bad person who was
15:32
Speaker 1: just charming? Maybe not even romantically. Maybe friend-wise. Mark, I
15:36
Speaker 1: see you're grinning. Sometimes it's hard to walk away from
15:39
Speaker 1: people that we know are stinkers.
15:40
Speaker 2: It's a mix of a grin and also a hard
15:43
Speaker 2: eye roll because we've all been there. We know it
15:45
Speaker 2: never works out the way you.
15:46
Speaker 1: Want it to. Yeah. I've had it mainly with friends.
15:49
Speaker 1: I've been with Bruce so long, there's not much romance
15:53
Speaker 1: in my life before I met Bruce. Like, I've not
15:55
Speaker 1: had a lot of guys in my life, but I
15:58
Speaker 1: have had a lot of friends. And I've had some
16:00
Speaker 1: friends who I knew were trouble. Just, you know what I'm... Oh, yes. Just...
16:05
Speaker 1: But they're charming. They just make me giggle. So I
16:09
Speaker 1: certainly can feel this. I can relate. Can you? 85%
16:13
Speaker 1: said yes, you can relate. Hey, go vote on today's
16:17
Speaker 1: poll on our Twitter, our X page, at Naughty Nice Rob.

Speaker 1: check back tomorrow to hear your results. And now it's
16:29
Speaker 1: time for our nicest... Of the day.
16:33
Speaker 2: No.
16:35
Speaker 1: What you got?
16:36
Speaker 2: Of course, it's Dolly Parton. She is, you know, she
16:39
Speaker 2: had a really great sense of humor, and she never
16:41
Speaker 2: lost it. Even when joking about her own death, the
16:43
Speaker 2: country legend once said, one of her most famous lines
16:47
Speaker 2: might someday appear on her tombstone. Quote, it costs a
16:50
Speaker 2: lot of money to look this cheap.
16:54
Speaker 1: End quote. I love it. To be in on the joke,
16:57
Speaker 1: did you see that, Mark, when you spent a little
16:59
Speaker 1: time with her backstage? Was she funny? She was funny.
17:02
Speaker 2: She was making jokes. And she just, the energy there was,
17:06
Speaker 2: everyone was just upbeat. And a lot of times when
17:08
Speaker 2: you have music acts, when you're working with them, it
17:10
Speaker 2: can be very stressful.
17:11
Speaker 1: There's a lot of drama.
17:11
Speaker 2: It was not that way at all. She was just
17:13
Speaker 2: really wonderful.
17:14
Speaker 1: Oh, that's interesting. You're right. When you just go on
17:16
Speaker 1: as a talking guest, it's much easier. When you're a
17:18
Speaker 1: musical guest, oh, the cues and the sound checks and
17:21
Speaker 1: the this and the that. Oh, that's lovely to hear.
17:23
Speaker 1: It costs a lot of money to look this cheap.
17:26
Speaker 1: She was always the first to laugh at herself, wasn't she?
17:28
Speaker 1: She was always the first. She said once... I don't
17:32
Speaker 1: know if I'm going to go to heaven, but like
17:34
Speaker 1: hell I'm going to try to get in. Fun. Just
17:37
Speaker 1: so brilliant. And now our naughtiest of the day. Naughty, naughty, naughty.
17:41
Speaker 1: Cancer's the naughtiest of the day. We lost Ollie and
17:43
Speaker 1: now we've lost another great. Tim Curry has died at
17:46
Speaker 1: 80 years old. Tim Curry, the famous, the legendary British
17:50
Speaker 1: actor who became a cult icon as Frankenfurter in the
17:54
Speaker 1: Rocky Horror Picture Show. That's where I first discovered him,
17:57
Speaker 1: has died at 80. He did an animated movie called
18:01
Speaker 1: The Pebble and the Penguin with my husband and Barry Manilow.
18:05
Speaker 1: And so I had a lot of at least conversations
18:08
Speaker 1: about him where people, and Bruce and Barry would say
18:10
Speaker 1: the kindest things. He was a true, true gentleman. He
18:14
Speaker 1: died on Tuesday at his Los Angeles home. He had
18:17
Speaker 1: a stroke a decade ago and has been in bad shape.
18:20
Speaker 1: So hopefully he is now resting. Another, another legend. Let's
18:25
Speaker 1: end with a moment of Rob. You get a Rob,
18:26
Speaker 1: you get a Rob, you get a Rob. This is
18:28
Speaker 1: a really good one for today. Grief is the cost
18:31
Speaker 1: of love. We rarely consider that when somebody dies, when
18:36
Speaker 1: somebody goes, the grief that we feel shows us the
18:42
Speaker 1: cost of the love we had for them. So focus
18:45
Speaker 1: on the laughter, the memories, the ordinary moments. Then one
18:50
Speaker 1: day when they're gone, that love will remain and that
18:54
Speaker 1: you can hold on to. So don't rush grief. Don't
18:58
Speaker 1: apologize for it. The size of your sadness actually reflects
19:02
Speaker 1: the size of what you had. Healing doesn't mean forgetting. No,
19:06
Speaker 1: it means moving forward. That's all that it means. We
19:11
Speaker 1: need to carry people with us, their stories, their habits,
19:14
Speaker 1: their laughter, their music in our hearts. So cry, remember,
19:18
Speaker 1: say their name, then keep living. Hey, that is it
19:22
