Kathleen reviews the circumstances surrounding the incident, and also Baskin’s two dismal performances on Season 29 of ABC’s reality show “Dancing With the Stars.” AIRLINES VS EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS: As a frequent flier, Kathleen has strong feelings regarding Emotional Support Animals flying on commercial planes.

Kathleen then gives a shoutout to Anita Baker for being an amazing singer and general badass in life. The conversation turns to Dolly Parton, who was emboldened in an interview with Billboard Magazine relating to the “Black Lives Matter” movement stating that “of course Black lives matter,” which was a move that could shock the generally conservative world of Country Music. Dolly also discusses her 2018 decision to remove the word “Dixie” from her “Dolly Parton’s Dixieland Stampede” in an effort to be more sensitive to patrons who are not supportive of the ideology of the Confederate South.

Kathleen tells listeners to download Dolly’s “Those Were The Days” album for something fun to listen to.
