Dolly Parton Recalls Johnny Cash’s Hilarious Quip About Wife June [Video]

June Carter Cash may have been something of a chatterbox, but Johnny Cash certainly didn’t mind — at least, according to Dolly Parton.

The country queen shared a sweet story about Johnny and June in a new interview on Bunnie Xo’s Dumb Blonde podcast, saying that over the years she became “best friends” with the legendary couple.

“He was a real nice guy and very quiet… She was a loudmouth like me, so we got along just fine,” Parton said. “And I remember when somebody said something about, ‘Johnny, don’t you get tired of hearing June talk all the time?’ And he said, ‘No. I do some of my best thinking when June’s talking.’”

Parton, 78, joked that the response was similar to one that Carl Dean, her husband of nearly 60 years, might give.

“That’s kind of like my husband!” she said. “I think he does some of his best thinking when I’m talking.”
