Tidbits for travelers: Richard Simmons wants you to be fit to fly

See what I mean?
There’s even a ‘making of’ version of this one.

Unless, of course, that rascal Rico had made an appearance.
But seriously, wouldn’t it be great if everyone on an airplane had to stand up and do some synchronized stretching every once in a while?

Funny – and a little naughty…

Now there’s a third: a nursery rhyme gone very wrong
Rico is on his way to the U.S. for a visit and I think I’ll have an opportunity to interview him. What would you ask him?
