    Wow. So glad Willam was interviewed. Possibly the only sane voice in this series. Bye girl bye.

    No one, and I mean, no one, can tell a story in the engaging way Dan does. While this story is sad, it’s incredibly compelling.

  • Leave Richard Simmons alone!

    Richard Simmons did not go missing. He wanted to stay out of the spotlight. This podcast directly contradicts Richard’s wishes and exploits his name and likeliness without Richard’s consent. It feels icky to me.

  • Love Dan!

    I came across the hysterical show and have been binge listening to all his shows now. Im sorry to hear about Richard but I truly understand how he went about things. To be honest I would have done things the exact same way. Saying goodbye is what people would want, but for once it sounds like he did something for himself after years of playing a role for everyone else. Fly high Richard.
