  SPEAKER_02: That's awesome!
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_01: So I want to say this.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_01: I think the truck stop thing makes sense for her, and here's why.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_01: She did so much touring growing up.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_01: And because the first time, I don't know if you know this, but I'm gonna have you guess.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_01: What is the age she first appeared on Grand Old Opry?
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, she was young.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_02: Was she 16?
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_02: Younger.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_01: Oh 12?
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_01: 13.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, wow.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_01: Which means she had to build her career.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, she is the but she's the best example of building a career.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_02: Building an empire.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_02: Growing up.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_02: You're doing it the right way, by the way.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_01: So when you're touring, and we heard that story just a few minutes ago about how she was in Hornell.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_01: So when you're growing up, building your empire, you're stopping at truck stops all the time, gas stations.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_01: So I think it just makes sense that that she's doing that business venture.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_02: I think it or did, yeah.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_02: No, no, that it'll do quite well.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_02: Uh they're they're probably gonna have booming business for quite a period of time.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_01: I can't wait to see the merch.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I'm wearing my Dolly t shirt today, but what else are they gonna?
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_01: Are they gonna have like uh some there's gotta be like bumper stickers that say like honk hold on a second.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_02: Honk for Dolly.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, or like double honks.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_02: Give us two honks?
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, something, something like that.
