    Missing Richard Simmons is a fascinating podcast from… Jesus Christ, seven years ago 💀

    It covers the influence of Richard, and his sudden and complete withdrawal from public life in 2014.

    He seemed to give of himself almost compulsively for most of his life.

    I hope his final years were peaceful and joyous.

      One theory about why he disappeared is because he had to have bilateral knee replacements and couldn’t exercise anymore. I thought that sounded pretty plausible.
