How Richard Simmons became the Original Fitness Influencer

from The Doomscroll Diaries · host Laura Sogar and Mae Planert

We're turning up the heat this week with an homage to the late Richard Simmons, the guy who made jazzercise look like a Studio 54 party. From his wild infomercials to "Sweating with the Oldies", Richard was the original inspirational influencer fitness instructor. He danced so SoulCycle could spin. We also talk about his mysterious end-of-life disappearance and the public's obsession with making this old man come out(side). We then go over the budding career of Hailey Welch aka "The Hawk Tuah Girl". How is she going to take "You gotta give 'em that hawk tuah and spit on that thang." and make money? Should "Cash me outside" Bahd Bhabie give her a template? Buckle up, it's gonna get weird!  Follow us @risquebusinessnews @laurasogar @mae_planert and write us a kind review for a good old-fashioned in-the-mail gift! https://forms.gle/gRZ1j9vEwoGYhWQR9 #RichardSimmons #FitnessLegend #SweatinWithTheOldies #Jazzercise #HawkTuahGirl #HaileyWelch #ViralInterview #InternetSensation #ComedyPodcast #PodcastCommunity
