  Speaker 1: to talk to that guy in Hartford. I don't remember

  Speaker 1: Haven pizza. That would be glorious.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, I will take it. I like pizza. I like

  Speaker 2: like sausage. I like anchovies. I like any kind of
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: pizza you hand me. I'm going to eat it.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Sister, you will be in the right area then, man. Oh, man.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: That's what I hear.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: And tonight you get to spend your birthday in Boston.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: So that's kind of cool. That's a good town, too.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, I know. And I have my little nine year
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: old with me. So Dolly and I are going to
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: do a little, you know, I mean, for a mama,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: that's the perfect birthday. I would rather be with my
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: other daughter also and my hubby. But but for a
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: mama to be able to be with one baby on
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: her birthday when she turns 35, that's good for me. Perfect.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: How was Dolly's summer? Because nine's a great age. My
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: daughter just turned 10, so I'm very familiar with what
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: a glorious... Although she's gotten a little bit of attitude
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: this year, so... Oh, shoot.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: We don't want that to happen yet. I've already been through,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: you know, so my sister raised four girls. So I'm
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: on my second. And my older daughter is 19. So
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: we got through the, you know, I need you, Mama.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: And then I need you, Mama, but I don't want
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: to tell anybody I need you. And then I need you,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: but I'm not even going to let you know that
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I need you. But you know what? They come back.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: They come back. You know, I'm hoping to shorten that
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: little time that we lose them for a few years
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: on my second time around.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, sister. I'm telling them. Well, 10 years between the girls, right?
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: 10 years. Yes. We didn't plan it that way, but
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: that's how the good Lord worked it out. And it's perfection.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: It's just perfect. Our little one is adopted. And the
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: older one prayed for her literally every night by her
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: bed for five years. She prayed for a baby. And,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: you know, we tried all the things that mamas and
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: daddies do to try to have a baby, and it
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: didn't work out like we planned. But then we adopted her,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: and now we understand why the other didn't work out,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: because it's perfection.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, man. You don't always see the plan until
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: it comes through, and you go, aha, that's the reason
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: that Jesus did that. I get you.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: That's exactly right. Why didn't we believe all along?
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Well, I got you beat because I have a son
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: that's 39, and then I have my 10-year-old daughter and
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: 11-year-old son, so.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Wow, you have all the, you got all the range.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like to put a couple decades between my kids.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: You really, people say we started over, you really, really
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: started over.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: So real quick, some business here. It's a dying art.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Just came out in August. Loaded with goodness. If I
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: can drop a couple of my favorites. I really like
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Jet Plane a lot.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Aw, thanks. Isn't that a sweet song? Speaking of family,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: so Jimmy wrote that. And that song is just about
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: wanting so desperately to get back to the people you love.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: And our job is so incredibly amazing and wonderful and
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: a dream literally bigger than our wildest dreams. But the
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: hardest part is leaving our families. And so that song,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: it says what my heart would have said if If
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I had been the one to think of it. I
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: love that song.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: It's a good one. And obviously, Closing Time is a
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: big goodie because you gave that little gal, Kelsey Ballerini,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: some help, which is nice.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: We thought she might need a little boost, so we
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: called her up and said, we're going to do something
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: for you. No, she and Karen and some other... amazing
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: girls wrote that song. And when we decided to put
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: it on our record, we were like, wait, we got
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: to get Kelsey in here to just sprinkle some of
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: her magic fairy dust. And she did. And what people
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: might not know about Kelsey is that she likes to
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: harmonize with herself. So all those parts on there that
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: harmonize with Kelsey, besides us, she did. She stacked herself
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: in Much better than one Kelsey Ballerini, like six Kelsey Ballerinis.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Wow. Six Kelsey Ballerinis. I'll tell you, though, I know
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you've been in this business for a while. This is
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: a really, really good time for the women of country music.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Long overdue, but boy, is it a solid time.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Long overdue, but I am so proud to be a
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: woman in this business right now, and I'm so happy
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: that women's voices are being heard like they are and celebrated.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: It's about time, and we are here for it.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: So you're on the For the Art of It tour,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: which I believe started last month, September?
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, started in September, yep.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: And this Sunday, you're coming to Connecticut to the beautiful
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Oakdale Theater, which is going to be glorious.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I know. We love coming up in your neck of
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: the woods, and we don't get to that often. And
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: so we'll be there with bells on, and we'll be
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: eating your pizza and singing you some songs. And it's
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: a really special show. So it's in theaters all across
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: the country. And because the record is called A Dying Art,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: and that song is not sad like dying. It's about
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: all the things in our lives that are going away.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Like long-time 60-year marriages or long-time friendships or handwritten notes
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: or handwritten recipe cards and things like that that seem
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: to be dying away. Hey, bands that stay together for
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: 27 years, that's also a dying art. So anyway, so
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: the tour is called For the Art of It. So
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: the production, the staging is so beautiful and so special.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: And one of my favorite things we've ever, ever done.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: And of course, we'll sing songs from the new record
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: and we'll sing all the hits that everybody knows. And
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: it's a great, fun thing. show to bring your family to.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: It's just a good time. And so y'all come out
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: and promise we'll make it worth it and we'll have
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: a big old time together.
