  SPEAKER_00: The most beautiful girl, woman I had ever seen in my life lived.
• 0:39
  SPEAKER_00: We didn't go to town that much, but when I would, I would go to see her because she had these long red fingernails, she wore bright lipstick, she had peroxide blonde hair, wore tight clothes, short, and I thought she was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_00: And my mother said, Oh, she's just trash, she's just a tramp.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_00: And I thought that's what I want to be when I love it.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_02: It was she greater once.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_02: Let me tell you how great she is in this one business transaction that she did.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_02: And this is why her light shines so bright.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_02: Do you know how she actually got her start?
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_02: Or one of the one of the key factors I should say to getting her start.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_01: Because there's been so much information thrown at us in the past, you know, let's say 17 hours.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know if I remember this part.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_02: She was on a show with a guy named Porter Wagner.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yes.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_02: And it he brought her on the show.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_02: And it it catapulted her career essentially.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_02: So her and Porter, they had a good business relationship for a while, performed together, all this good stuff.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_02: Well, then they had a major, major falling out.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_02: But then Porter he kind of fell out of grace in the limelight, and he had no money.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_02: He was going bankrupt.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_02: He had literally nothing.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_02: He was one of those celebrities that just pretty much fell on the hardest of times.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_02: So what did Porter do?
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_02: He needed to sell his music catalog.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_02: So Dolly purchased his music catalog for how many dollars it was so he could have the money, sold it back to Porter for a dollar.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_02: Oh wow.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_02: So he could keep his art, but at the same time provide him with some money to live.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_01: I want to say I saw something very briefly in passing yesterday, too, that you know, she had even and this is tough.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_01: Like you said, they they did not it's hard to believe Dolly not getting along with somebody.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_01: But obviously, whatever had happened that we may not be a hundred percent privy to, there was the falling out.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_01: Falling outs happen.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_01: Think about personal relationships, think about family, think about and it would be hard, I think, for the average person if you found out that person, let's say it had stayed icy.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_01: We'll we'll we'll call it icy.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, it wasn't the nice warm, you know.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I doubt that a lot of people would stand up and go, you know, to like a funeral or you know, pay respects and that.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_01: And and I saw in one clip on the news yesterday, she did that.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_01: She actually went past all of that and went and uh and and paid you know tribute to that, which is another great respect for her roots with that.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's what another thing that I think people tend to just fall towards her because and not even just gravitate, I mean fall towards her because she is so kind.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and that is something that we don't have a lot of in this world.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_01: Well, and especially with everything going on around us, and the world's in a a level of turmoil right now on so many different levels, which we'll talk about in the next few minutes in the big three.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, uh, that it's one of those things where you know people, you know, people really right now.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's more of it's sad, but it should be more of a celebration to what she was.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I feel like kindness never goes out of style, and that's something that she exudes all the time or did.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_01: I have to I'm on the fence on reading Natalie's text word for word, but it's Dolly's words.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_01: So if I read this word for word, you have to realize this is Dolly's words.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_01: In no way, shape, or form am I trying to be abrasive or anything like that.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_01: This is it.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_01: So Natalie had text.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_01: We've known Natalie's a friend of the show, we've known her well.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_01: Uh-huh.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_01: And I remember I told you I said one of the things I wish I always was able to do was meet Dolly.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I don't know what I would have said to her.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_01: But I just would have liked to have been in her presence.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_01: I would have loved to have met her and just been like, hi.

  SPEAKER_01: Her friend met Dolly, told her friend, Oh God, this is hard for me to say because it's it's right out there.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_01: I'll say it real quick.
