Yeah, at the age of fiftythree. Sad, that's too young.
She was such an icon though thatshe was always serving. Looks man
Shannon, what about yeah, anotherbattye. We lost doctor Ruth. Doctor

(01:25):
Ruth Westheimer, the iconic sex therapist. She was the lady with the accent.
She did a ton of shows whereshe would talk about six all the
time, and that was her thing. Yeah, ninety six years old,
that's an old lady right there.She really did live for her up and
you know, I think she wasstill doing it in her nineties. Probably

(01:48):
not, No, No, Idon't think she did. She even have
a man like she wasn't married,was she? Oh? She never married.
You know, I never saw aman by her side. I'm sure
she had a paramour or two,you know what I mean. Yeah,
no, I'm sure that. Imean, doctor Ruce. She don't know
all that about you know about thesix. If she's not participating, she

(02:08):
got first hand noting. I mean, dude, yeah, exactly. She
went the freaking frequently, Doctor Ruth. Yes, but you know, she
definitely her time on earth. Shedid a great job. Doctor Ruth was
the truth. I'll tell you.That was the truth. And as much
as it's sad to see her go. It did say that she went peacefully.

(02:29):
They didn't say that how she went, but we imagine, you know,
ninety six years old, she wentpeacefully, not like the other passengers
in her car. What about RichardSimmons passage Simmons, Now there's another one.
First of all, seventy six yearsold. Richard had had some health
problems. He had some skin cancerand then he, uh, he became

(02:51):
a recluse like a while back,like he just stopped going out in public.
You used to see Richard Simmons ontalk shows all the time, you
know, and he'd be there withhis really short shorts and his tank tops
and to be out there with histhey're all be dazzled by the way his
shorts and his tank tops like,and he'd go out there and he'd just
be Richard, you know what Imean. This is the thing right about
the rich Right, it sounded likejazz hands when I said it. Richard,

(03:16):
Yeah, like he was Richard,you know for sure. But this
is the thing about him. Andno matter how many times you've seen him
on TV or what you think aboutRichard Simmons and whatever, the thing is
this is that you've never seen somebodygive of themselves more fully than Richard Simmons,
did you know what I mean?Like in those tiny shorts, he

(03:38):
gave a lot of himself, youknow, a lot more than we needed
to see. We didn't need tosee her, yam bag the moment that
you sit down, But that's okay. But he loved people and he wanted
to help people. And you cantell that that was very genuine. You
know, it came from a placeof love. You know. So Richard
Simmons really in and of himself,he was kind of the truth, like
doctor Ruth. You know. Yeah, Richard was a little too sassy for

(03:58):
me sometimes pretty sass attitude. Butno, he was an icon though forever
really was. He did his thing. But Richard Simmons locked himself up,
you know, like the past tenyou know, ten years or so,
whatever it's been. And you know, he was making cryptic messages for a
long time saying that he was dying. And then towards the end also it
was rumored that he was being heldcaptive by his housekeeper and that he was

(04:21):
being abused, and there was allthese stories and rumors and then Richard would
come forward and go, no,I'm fine, which is exactly what somebody
who's being abused says. Yeah.No. And then you had Polly Shore,
who you know, is trying tomake a biopic about Richard Simmons,
and he went to Richard Simmons andRichard Simmons is like, absolutely not.
I am not having you play mein my life story. I'm not going

(04:44):
out like that, Polly. AndPolly's like, well, that's fine,
I'm gonna make the movie anyway.And Richard's like, well, I'm gonna
beat you to the punch. I'mgonna make a Broadway play about my life.
And he was working on that.That was what he was working on.
Did not know that. And nowhe died. He died the day
after his birthday. By the way, Richard Simmons, that sucks. Yeah,
I guess at least you celebrate it, you know. But this is
after they said that they had,you know, gotten rid of the skin

(05:06):
cancer. How do he die?We don't know. He was murdered,
That's what it was. No,he was not. Yeah, he was
by Paul Shore. Because now PaulyShore can do whatever he wants. He
can make whatever little movie he wantsto, you know what I mean?
Rather than making Biodome two, whichis what we all want to see.
He's wanted to make a Richard Simmonsbio pick guilty. Yeah, if you'd

(05:28):
asked me a couple of months ago, I would have said, get ready
for an Oscar poly Shore, youknow what I mean. I would already
have been applauding. But no more. No, Well, I don't know
how you'll be applauding or not applottingfor this, but reacted. It's fifty
cent reacting to the alleged Trump assassinationattempts. Yeah. Now, for it
doesn't matter what side of the aisleyou're on on this one. Right,

(05:51):
this was hilarious, you know whatI mean? Because what fifty cent did
very cleverly, Because fifty cent isknown for having been shot like nine times.
Right, It's like one of thewell known things about fifty cent is
that he's been shot a bunch,right, Uh huh. So there's a
very famous album cover. It's gotfifty on the cover and he's wearing a
bulletproof vest. Right. Well,what fifty did very ingeniously is he removed

(06:14):
his own head, not surgically oranything, just from the picture with the
bulletproofvest when the album cover and he'ssuperimposed Donald Trump's face, right, so
it looks like Donald Trump is wearingthe bulletproof vest and you know, the
whole thing. And I've seen othersthat are, you know, equally as
funny. But fifty posted that andthen he said somebody tried to shoot Donald
Trump and I'm trending and it's gothim. It's hilarious. I don't care

(06:39):
what your politics are. That isfunny. Yeah, so he's been.
And also I will say this toback that up. I'm sorry, Brittany,
but real quick because I know Iwanted to say something else because again
this one also doesn't matter what sideyou're on, trying to shoot somebody and
kill somebody is wrong. So youknow what I mean, Like, I
don't care who you are, andI don't care what what politics you play

(07:00):
or whatever. I think we canall agree that trying to take out a
candidate is not cool. He hasshared some stuff on Twitter. U how
he is a photo of Trump too. He's got it. He's got the
black over his eyes. Yes,but it's also because they're playing many men

(07:24):
on the with the video or thephotos of him. That song many men
is trendy, and there's the pictureright there on the TV, but he's
on the picture of black bots overhis eyes and it's the black and white
photo. It's the photoshops are hilarious. I will say that, Oh my
goodness. And then he also postedsaying I know the feeling of I know

(07:45):
the vibes. And then he sayswe're all in trouble now I'm scared.
