Richard Simmons Strikes Back, 'Trigger Warning' Debate, and Casting JonBenet

Published: May 12, 2017, 9:27 p.m.

b'We open up the mail bag and let you weigh in on our discussions about "13 Reasons Why" and the former-profiler-turned-podcaster who\'s caused a bit of a dust-up among our fans.\\n\\nRichard Simmons may have lost touch with many people, but his lawyers aren\'t among them. The now-reclusive fitness guru is suing the National Enquirer for a story saying he\'s had a sex change operation. He also says he\'s being blackmailed by (say it ain\'t so!) former companion Mauro. If the stories are false, we think it should be easy to demonstrate so ("Your honor, we submit exhibit D.").\\n\\nThen we explore the most original entrant in the JonBenet Ramsey look-back-a-thon. Netflix\'s non-investigation "Casting JonBenet" features average Coloradoans who think they\'re auditioning for a movie on the case. In reality, the auditions are an excuse to get them to candidly share their thoughts and observations about the crime. And we get to see kids smash watermelons with flashlights for good measure.\\n\\nIn the Crime of the Week, what did the drunk driver know and when did she know it?\\nOUR SPONSORS THIS WEEK\\n\\nAudible - Get a 30-day free trial at audible.com/crime.\\n\\nLe Tote - Get 50% off your subscription at LeTote.com with promo code CRIME.\\n\\nLola - Get 60% off your first order at MyLola.com with promo code CRIME.\\n\\nClick here to get the Crime Writers On After Show, plus more exclusive content, on Patreon.: https://patreon.com/partnersincrimemedia'
