Bunnie Xo's podcast might be getting a little more exciting.
The entrepreneur, 44, revealed in a Facebook post on Friday, July 19 that she might be getting a certain country icon on her Dumb Blonde podcast this season — Dolly Parton.
"Y’all, I MIGHT get Dolly on the podcast this season & if I do I’ll faint," Bunnie wrote on the social media platform. "LIKE WHATTTT?? Queen MOTHER DOLLY - I’ll cry & croak all at the same time."
She also revealed how much of a full-circle moment it would be for the "Jolene" singer, 78, to appear on her podcast.
"I literally named my podcast as homage to her," Bunnie added.
Parton's 1967 debut single was notably called "Dumb Blonde." Written by Curly Putman, the track was featured on her debut album Hello, I'm Dolly.
The single features lyrics like, “Just because I’m blonde don’t think I’m dumb / ‘Cause this dumb blonde ain’t nobody’s fool.”
The 10-time Grammy winner recorded a new version of the track with Miranda Lambert in 2018 for the soundtrack of the Netflix movie Dumplin'.
Since the launch of her podcast in 2019, Bunnie has featured guests including Melanie Martin, Dita Von Teese, Demps, Brantley Gilbert, Colt Ford and her husband, Jelly Roll. Episodes generally feature conversations about relat -
ionships and other life experiences.
During an episode of herDumb Blondepodcastearlier this month, Bunnie recalled the first time she saw the "Save Me" artist, years before his country music career took off.
"We met at Las Vegas Country Saloon in 2015," she said. "He was opening for the Moonshine Bandits and I was like, 'What is this? What is this man? This big southern boy.'"

Bunnie revealed that they were able to get to know one another because there were "not that many people" at the venue, which felt more like "a big room with a stage."
"We were backstage drinking and stuff like that, but J wasn’t — nobody even knew who he was," she explained. "He was opening for the Moonshine Bandits, you know? He might have had a little pop in Nashville, but people on the West Coast didn't know who he was. We were there for the Moonshine Bandits."
Bunnie and Jelly Roll have been married since 2016, and the internet personality is stepmom toJelly's two kidsfrom a previous relationship: daughter Bailee, 15, and son Noah, 7.
