''90% of people who lose weight gain it back. Not only do they gain back the weight they've lost, but they gain more. This is not a game. Your life is not a game. You have to eat healthy and you have to exercise. You have to feel good about yourself.'' I love that
This is the best interview with Richard Simmons I ever saw. Thank you Shay for treating him with such respect. He deserves so much respect and compassion for helping so many people through the years. God Bless you Shay & Richard.
My grandma had all his sweating to the oldies VHS tapes, I sit and watch as I was very young at the time lol fond memories with Richard Simmons on my grandma's tv :')
Thank you guys! Keep of the good work. I loved this video, I laughed, I cried... Richard it's so wonderful that you answer your e-mails! Love it. God bless and keep you all.
The last part of the video when Richard was praising Shay summed him up. Simmons says things as they are and what he said to Shay at the end I completely agreed with and is the reason I watch the Shaytards. Proud of you Shay, Well done!
i love richard.say what you will about him - he's such a bundle of positive energy since i first saw him on tv. since i was a kid till now - his energy is the same as always. ncie to have people like that in this world.
I literally was not fussed about watching this shoot but WOW I'm glad I did!! It was hilarious and insightful and, frankly, it was pretty motivating! Shay, you were awesome!
richard is great. the first time i have ever watched him. he is beautiful inside and out. very touching interview. i cried and laughed all the way through it
AWEsome! I remember my first workout I did on a regular basis was, "Sweatin' to the Oldies Part 2" on my parents VHS player. Still know most of the dance moves!
He's so sweet :) I like Richard, he seems to really care about helping people not just selling himself or his product unlike a lot of other weight loss gurus, granted he makes money doing it but I really think its not solely about the money. He reaches out to people who realistically need to lose weight and is realistic about the weight loss, again,unlike the rest of those weight loss "pros".
This was so great! Inspiring AND entertaining. I can only imagine how difficult it would be to do a video like this with the crazy Richard Simmons. But Shay, you were a pro. Your quick wit made it look so easy. Fantastic job!
All you people saying negative things about Richard Simmons... you should be ashamed of yourself. He is just different. He's misunderstood. He is a really awesome person and does a ton of good things -- more good than most people could ever hope to do in a lifetime. He likes to bring out the most in people, and he likes to make people laugh. If he seems rude, it's just that you're too uptight to understand his dry sarcastic sense of humor. He is an inspiration and an amazing soul. Thank you Shay for this :)
He was odd at the start, but throughout the video, he composed himself very well on serious topics. He knows when to be funny, and when to have composure. I would save my critiques for Shay.
Why the funk are people getting so angry at Richard, he just speaks his mine, unlike most people on this Earth, and he seems like a brilliant dude! p.s.- did not mean to come across rude
Richard Simmons made me cry. How the F did that happen? He said everything I feel there at the end. I just wish I could loose the weight but I really suck a dieting. I mean I REALLY suck at it. Thankyou for all the advice.
I think people need to accept the fact that some people are very different and do express themselves in different ways. I don't feel that this was awkward at all, this was just a clash of big personalities and they both made some amazing points on the topic!!
I'm now 52 and have M.S. In 1995 when my kids were young (and I was still healthy), I started Weight Watchers. I also started power walking. Every single evening when I walked I listened to Richard's walking tape on my walkman (wow, that really ages me!) That tape helped me lose 60 pounds and I never got tired of Richards encouraging voice. I still have the tape and it's a prized possession...reminding me of a wonderful time in my life :)
Richard is using Jedi Mind Control on You! Richard is actually a Jedi Mind Master! It is impossible to beat him! If Yoda and Richard were sitting in a tree ...... Richard would easily win!
My entire life (I'm 34) my parents & brother who is 2 years older then I am have made fun of me my entire life, They call me hateful names, They would moo at me, Make fun of my size in front of people & tell me they were ashamed to have me as their child. They still tell me they hate me, They still make fun of me. I was thin as a child, I however am now 376 pounds & losing my ability to walk because of my back & the weight doesn't help. I cry a lot, I don't like being in crowns because I feel ugly & scared. I need help but I don't know where to start. I don't want to be like this. I want to live life not hide at home anymore.
please get in touch with richard.i know he reads and responds to emails.i do hope you have people around you now that bring happiness into your life.shame on your parents and brother.why do that to a human being? you deserve better!
Hi Kacecozy. Sorry to hear how cruel your family are to you. I don't believe anyone is ugly , some people may not conform to what the media dictates as good looking ,but after getting to know anyone you forget the physical and see the inner soul . I hope Shay and Richards tips will help you lose weight to feel more healthy
LOL... the part where they talk about Simmons getting hit by a Sara Lee truck had me laughing so hard I almost fell off my chair! Suddenly I had this visual in my mind of sequins and plastic rhinestones exploding everywhere on impact! OMG... I must be over tired or something because I can't stop laughing!
I cried when Richard was talking about support I am a mother who is grossly overweight. Growing up I was always told IF YOU JUST LOST 10 more lbs you would be so pretty. I wasn't over weight then. When I had my daughters I choice to say and do positive things with them. Now is my turn to loose the weight that I gained over the years. I know that I didn't gain the weight over night so the weight isn't going to come off over night.
Richard Simmons has an odd obsession about white teeth. I remember watching an episode of Who's Line Is It Anyway and he fell in love with Wayne Brady and his perfect white teeth lol I freaking love him.
I wasn't planning to watch this whole thing, but I did, and im glad I did this was really funny! p.s my grandma has a lot of his work out videos on VHS lol!
LOVED this soooooooo much! i used to dance with richard on the dancing to the oldies video in my livingroom.he is so motivational and inspirational. just like YOU,shaycarl!AND a big ol goofball like you too.LOL -although your shayloss channel has helped so many,i don't know if i can keep up with you.i've got about 20 years on you.and since i'm older,like richard is,i do believe i'll look him up to see if i can get a little healthier again.ok.a LOT healthier.thank you shaycarl for reintroducing an old friend back to me! :)
RIP Richard Simmons. Thank you so much for being such a life force of energy, happiness, and inspiring multiple generations of people to live their life to the fullest and love yourself unconditionally.
Just watched Shay's video where he lost 5 lbs of water weight in one day in order to make his 4% weight loss for his contest. This is completely opposite of what he talks about at 14:20. Needs to practice what he preaches.
I am so gladI followed your little light to your page here! ( I only said "little" light because of the song...God has actually shone your light nice and brightly!) haha-anyway. I love watching Shay's channel but what is UP with Richard's hair? So, Kyle, have you met the lady God has for you yet? Also, how old are you? I am a mom of two beautiful Christian girls but if either of them saw your pick up lines (take this in the humorous tone I mean it in okay?)...they would RUN AWAY!!! hahaha. God bless you. It's awesome that you are shining.
I have loved Richard's humor and caring since the 80s. I had a record album with a picture book of his exercises.
''90% of people who lose weight gain it back. Not only do they gain back the weight they've lost, but they gain more. This is not a game. Your life is not a game. You have to eat healthy and you have to exercise. You have to feel good about yourself.'' I love that
I loved this line from richard
Oh my gosh...I love Richard Simmons! I have all his sweating to the oldies work out DVD's. He makes exercising so fun💕
This is the best interview with Richard Simmons I ever saw. Thank you Shay for treating him with such respect. He deserves so much respect and compassion for helping so many people through the years. God Bless you Shay & Richard.
❤️
"Stop making the crew laugh."
"Well you aren't."
I DIED. What an icon.
❤️
This is such a appropriate team. Both such very inspirational people. Great video.
Richard Simmons is not only an icon but an AMAZING human being. I love him so much
❤️
OMG, I am so glad I took the time to watch this. Beyond awesome. What a pair!
My grandma had all his sweating to the oldies VHS tapes, I sit and watch as I was very young at the time lol fond memories with Richard Simmons on my grandma's tv :')
Richard is a delight. Such light and spirit, so genuine.
I love how Shay asks questions and Richard completely goes off on a different topic lol
True! 😂
Thank you guys! Keep of the good work. I loved this video, I laughed, I cried...
Richard it's so wonderful that you answer your e-mails! Love it.
God bless and keep you all.
This is probably the one of the best interviews I've seen!
The last part of the video when Richard was praising Shay summed him up. Simmons says things as they are and what he said to Shay at the end I completely agreed with and is the reason I watch the Shaytards. Proud of you Shay, Well done!
I didn't honestly know what to expect.. But I laughed a lot! He's crazy... you've truly met your match Shay!!!
I'm so jealous. I always wanted to meet Richard Simmons. He has so much energy and seems like a very nice and caring man.
Richard seems like a great guy! I'm glad Shay interviewed him!
Ahhh I've been dying to see this. At my elementary school we would always have to workout to Richard Simmons in rainy days.
Love you shay!!!
RIchard Simmons reminds me of my grandma. Batshit crazy but you have to still show respect. This was just like a half hour visit at nana's.
i love richard.say what you will about him - he's such a bundle of positive energy since i first saw him on tv. since i was a kid till now - his energy is the same as always. ncie to have people like that in this world.

AWEsome! I remember my first workout I did on a regular basis was, "Sweatin' to the Oldies Part 2" on my parents VHS player.
Still know most of the dance moves!
I really like Richard Simmons, Shay and Richard are awesome! I think they are having a really fun time together on this.
He's so sweet :) I like Richard, he seems to really care about helping people not just selling himself or his product unlike a lot of other weight loss gurus, granted he makes money doing it but I really think its not solely about the money. He reaches out to people who realistically need to lose weight and is realistic about the weight loss, again,unlike the rest of those weight loss "pros".
I'm from Texas and the way he said pralines was driving me crazy! Lol, awesome message! Thanks guys!
I love Richard! I remember my mom obsessing over his videos as a kid. And I'd dance with her. lol.
One of the best interviews I have seen. Awesome
He stayed at a hotel where I worked and he stopped and greeted every employee and guest. Mr. Simmons sure knows how to make an entrance! :)
I think Richard is the only person in the whole world that can make Shay feel awkward.
Im cracking up!! CANNOT STOP LAUGHING...... at least I'm working on my abs, right? :P
you have met Shaycarl thats so cooolll!!!
hahaha YEAH! at vloggerfair this past summer :)
One of the best interviews I've watched in awhile!! So funny yet so inspiring!! Thanks shay!
It's funny to see Shay get a taste of the wild energy and random silliness he gives to everyone else.
This was so great! Inspiring AND entertaining. I can only imagine how difficult it would be to do a video like this with the crazy Richard Simmons. But Shay, you were a pro. Your quick wit made it look so easy. Fantastic job!

I thought he was pretty crazy the whole time until the end. What a heart felt statement. And it's true, Shay.
Both of these men are wonderful and inspirational. I'm glad I watched this video.
Richard Simmons made me cry. How the F did that happen? He said everything I feel there at the end. I just wish I could loose the weight but I really suck a dieting. I mean I REALLY suck at it. Thankyou for all the advice.
Such good advice not only for someone losing weight but anyone with a goal. Thanks Shay and Richard! :)
Wow that was beautiful, Richard and dead on. Shay is amazing man with heart and so r u! Xo
Thank you so much for this. This really helped me out a lot!
Shay has met his match. Priceless. Richard you are one amazing man.
I think people need to accept the fact that some people are very different and do express themselves in different ways. I don't feel that this was awkward at all, this was just a clash of big personalities and they both made some amazing points on the topic!!
Excellent response ❤️💯
"And try to save money up for a set" LOL Shay was in stitches.
I'm now 52 and have M.S. In 1995 when my kids were young (and I was still healthy), I started Weight Watchers. I also started power walking. Every single evening when I walked I listened to Richard's walking tape on my walkman (wow, that really ages me!)

The way his brain works is so funny! I like him a lot!
Richard is using Jedi Mind Control on You! Richard is actually a Jedi Mind Master! It is impossible to beat him! If Yoda and Richard were sitting in a tree ...... Richard would easily win!
I loved, loved, loved this interview!
So funny and so inspiring. Love it Shay!
Absolutely love Richard Simmons, this interview is AWESOME.
I was havin such a bad day and I watched this and it made me laugh so much I cried thank you guyz and thank you shay xoxoxoxo
Is that shay blushing? I never thought I'd see the day!
THE most ADD interview i've ever seen!
This is awesome! I've loved Richard all my life.

Hi Kacecozy.
Sorry to hear how cruel your family are to you.
I don't believe anyone is ugly ,
some people may not conform to what the media dictates as good looking ,but after getting to know anyone you forget the physical and see the inner soul .
I hope Shay and Richards tips will help you lose weight to feel more healthy
I think that shay has finally met his match:)
LOL... the part where they talk about Simmons getting hit by a Sara Lee truck had me laughing so hard I almost fell off my chair!

I know that I didn't gain the weight over night so the weight isn't going to come off over night.
This was HILARIOUS! Was laughing non-stop! They both are alike in weird ways! Thank you for making me laugh and entertained! :-)
There's some really good content here guys, inspirational. Thanks xx
Richard Simmons has an odd obsession about white teeth. I remember watching an episode of Who's Line Is It Anyway and he fell in love with Wayne Brady and his perfect white teeth lol I freaking love him.
It's awesome that Richard tears up the piece of paper that says FOOD lol... nice :)
I often think 'Shay! Let him/her talk!' But now i was 'Richard! Let Shay talk!'
Wow that man is crazy! Just by watching this he wore me out ;-) !
I wasn't planning to watch this whole thing, but I did, and im glad I did this was really funny! p.s my grandma has a lot of his work out videos on VHS lol!
Robin Williams and Richard Simmons in a buddy cop movie would be amazing. The outtake movie would be even better.
I love the fact that there's a mogwai sitting next to Shay.
When he started to talk about how shay cares about us.... I wanted to cry bc he rly does! Thnks shay(:
I know this is old but i really miss seeing him,more people loved him then he knew.
I cried. Love love this. I am overweight and I feel like if I had more support maybe I'd do better
I think shay has met his match. I loved this!
Shay has finally met his match haha!
Love the interview, but the background music is distracting. It's hard to hear Richard at times.
LOVED this soooooooo much! i used to dance with richard on the dancing to the oldies video in my livingroom.he is so motivational and inspirational. just like YOU,shaycarl!AND a big ol goofball like you too.LOL -although your shayloss channel has helped so many,i don't know if i can keep up with you.i've got about 20 years on you.and since i'm older,like richard is,i do believe i'll look him up to see if i can get a little healthier again.ok.a LOT healthier.thank you shaycarl for reintroducing an old friend back to me! :)
RIP Richard Simmons. Thank you so much for being such a life force of energy, happiness, and inspiring multiple generations of people to live their life to the fullest and love yourself unconditionally.
I wanna see the future video of you, Shay, visiting Richard in his studio! GO! :-)
I have loved Richard for 30 years. Hes so motivational and a great human being. He is a prime example ok keeping the weight off!!
Awesome video, loved it. Thank you both! :-)
Just watched Shay's video where he lost 5 lbs of water weight in one day in order to make his 4% weight loss for his contest. This is completely opposite of what he talks about at 14:20. Needs to practice what he preaches.
He only did that to reach a deadline. It's like cutting weight for sport the next day you most likely gain it back because its water weights
Did you even watch his videos? He talks about this jeez. Do you're research before you talk crap.
You do realize that water weight comes back the very next day right? He isn't doing shortcuts.
This video is probably older.
Shay, you finally met your match. Hahaha
Amongst all the awkwardness and humor the advice Richard has is so true about being patient and humble
I just died when Shay said "if you're gonna spew, spew into this"!! Lol I looooove Wayne's World!!!
Nice to see Shay not get a word in edgewise for a change! What great synergy these two have!
When you say "I'm getting fit, I'm getting skinnier", it actually helps because positive energy boots your immune system(:
Hey shay, I know it was probably very stressful having Richard Simons on set. I think you did a great job working with him. Good luck in the future !!
I don't care what any of these comments say, this video was super inspiring and funny, and I love it! Thank you shay
i honestly just love richard simmons.
I love him so much
This was so awesome. I love how tame Shay seems with Richard :)
Richard is amazing and hilarious love it! And hes also really sweet
this was a great video. watched the whole thing! i dont get why ppl think its 'uncomfortable' to watch, like, how is it so 'uncomfortable'???
You were so patient Shay! Richard is an icon but hard to watch because of his antics.
I love this! A great mixture of humor, feelings & knowledge. :)
What a wonderful video shay!!! I really enjoyed it!!!
Richard!!! Awesome!!!
Great interview but the background music is killing me! Anyway, I love when someone can get Shay to blush... makes me smile :)
This was very inspiring!
I am so gladI followed your little light to your page here! ( I only said "little" light because of the song...God has actually shone your light nice and brightly!) haha-anyway. I love watching Shay's channel but what is UP with Richard's hair? So, Kyle, have you met the lady God has for you yet? Also, how old are you?

It's awesome that you are shining.
I LOVE Richard!!!!
This is the single greatest thing on the internet
Richard has the attention span of a 5 year old lmaooo. I absolutely love you two as a duo
