Hello, my name is Andrew Chappelle. And my name is Cody Rigsby. And if you have just taken your first dose of Ozympic and are feeling lightheaded, this is your weekly episode of tactical. Petty. Bitch, you gave me no beat. She went straight into it. I thought we rehearsed this. That's one of the worst ones ever. Well, you know, I don't, wait, are we going to go back and do it? Oh, I kind of thought it was nice that it was like that. Okay, well, you're listening to tactful pettiness. Are we going to say it together every episode? I thought that was what we rehearsed. Wow. You know, for someone that's over. We'll do it next weekend. But, you know, speaking of weight loss, it is a very sad weekend in America.

We have lost one of the greats Richard Simmons.

Truly.

And Richard Simmons obviously carved a path out for your fitness guru journey. Absolutely. There would be no Cody Rigsby without a Richard Simmons obviously carved a path out for your fitness guru journey.

Absolutely.

There would be no Cody Rigsby without a Richard Simmons.

Honey, she stepped touch so I could cycle.

Uh-huh.

And I talk about it in my book how Richard Simmons really inspired me and everyone kind of like looked at me a little side eye.

But like I always think that

Richard Simmons brought a lot of joy and levity and silliness to the fitness space and I always

aspire to do that as well. I always loved just his energy as a pop culture person. He made

everything that he was on so fun. So Richard, thank you for the laughs.

Thank you for the fierce little outfits. You know, he had that exuberant, gregarious personality that he

brought to every single piece of media that he put out into the world. Yeah. I kind of get sad that we haven't

seen him in such a long time and there were so much speculation circling around him. So I hope he

lived out his last years, at least with some joy and knew that he was beloved in this country.

Well, so he actually has a really interesting story because his,

you know, his fitness journey started because he was almost 200 pounds when he was 15 years old.

Oh, wow. And by the time he graduated high school, I think he was like 268 pounds or something.

And then, of course, he became into fitness and health. And he went from, I think, 268 pounds, like 154 pounds, something like that.

Wow.
