The PTL Club - Special Guests - Richard Simmons & Allan Mayer

[@melaniexoxo]

Tammy and Richard together. Two of the nicest most amazing human beings ever ❤️❤️

[@mikecollinsUTV]

I was a kindergarten student at Heritage Academy, and I'll never forget leaving class to go meet Richard Simmons, and how he playfully screamed at us "When I get done with you kids, you won't eat sugar for a weeeeek!" What an interesting place to grow up! Thank you for posting this and for giving me the chance to see my grandpa on the set of the Jim Bakker show once again. Blessings.

[@ptlclub]

You're welcome, Mike! Richard was very outgoing and loved to have fun but in his corky way he taught others. Richard was like Tammy, they walked into a room and it came alive.

[@David-kv9yh]

I interviewed Tammy on my radio talk show in Palm Springs in 1997. She and her husband Roe were a pleasure to meet. I was somewhat new to broadcasting and she was very sweet and encouraged me.

[@ptlclub]

Hi David! Thank you for sharing your experience. Tammy brighten everyone's day she met.

[@michaeloh6]

RIP Richard. Hope you and Tammy had a beautiful hug when you met each other in heaven.

[@ptlfan8812]

I always loved Richard Simmons. I never thought he was a homosexual, just happy about life. A lot of people aren't happy, but Richard overcame the odds to become an inspiration.

[@ptlclub]

Richard was just a plain ole happy guy. So many people put him down.

[@brianrenollet9663]

He’s Gay. So what? A LOT of Christians are Gay & Lesbian. Who cares.

[@bravesoul5743]

I dont look at him that way either. For me hes a human being.

[@melissaedwards8936]

I LOVE RICHARD SIMMONS!

[@timnail844]

Richard had a beautiful spirit that was so infectious!! We miss seeing you! Hope you're well and happy!! If he is gay I don't care. He made made people happy and helped overweight people for decades. God bless you sir!

[@lagrandkenyon]

29:19 - I loved little Kevin. I'd to get mad when my sons used to call him "Cannonball Run". I just hope that he's riding a golden chariot up in Heaven, chasing Jesus around, and living the best life this world could never give him.

[@nettiemarie2556]

Keep uploading these classics, Ray! Enjoying the guests

[@ptlclub]

I definitely will, Nettie! Thank you for appreciating them.

[@daniellesperance7297]

I remember sitting in on the show with a band I was preforming with called The Nations. It was an awesome experience.

[@ptlclub]

Hi David! I bet it was. Wish I had experienced Heritage USA just once. Thank you for sharing.

[@heidisierra9833]

The sexual tension between Richard and Jim is setting my phone on fire 🔥🤗--seriously tho I loved Richard Simmons as a kid!

[@Valkonnen]

Richard isn't interested in Jim. Plus we know Jim prefers coercing workers like Jessica Hahn into group sex with he and his friends.

[@MP-ox1iz]

Interesting point

[@crlewis]

So much ❤️ in that room!

[@davideconomou5061]

Thanks for uploading these classics, Ray! Hope you have more!!

[@ptlclub]

You're welcome, David! I do have more. I will continue to post. Stay tuned! :)

[@roybarlett4880]

I absolutely love Tammy Faye ! May she rest in peace..

[@rob3223]

advice back than is still rock solid "Put the fork down!"

[@kristynlawson383]

I love this… ❤️

[@Elvis__TCB]

Another one with Richard ! Thank you ! Is this about 1985? Jay looks to be 10? I can’t guess !

[@ptlclub]

You're welcome, Elvis P! It's possible. But most of the videos I have are from the year 1986. Yes, Jay was young there unfortunate for me I'm not good at judging someone's age, old or young but especially the young ones! :))

[@jackbyrd8111]

You can say what you want to about Jim and Tammy Baker people are still fascinated with them when I was a young kid I remember them living in a traile at the last they were making a 150 million dollars a year they had a 30 million dollar satellite.

[@ptlclub]

Yes Jack, Jim & Tammy started out just like 90% of Americans. Very poor but we all had a dream to better ourselves. Jim & Tammy was no different than the founders of Walmart, Amazon and Apple to name a few. They turned a dream into a billion+ dollar companies.

[@bluedevils-ot3oz]

Victory Day 1986 was Friday, July 4th so Count Down to Victory 47 days was Monday, May 19th, 1986

[@ptlclub]

That sounds about right, bluedevils! :))

[@diannacashion2047]

Too sad that Richard has stopped appearing on different shows and has withdrawn from the public eye… And I miss Tammy Faye….She always looked on the bright side of life till the very end.🙏😇🙏 And Jim …..Well…..I have nothing nice to say about Jim Bakker…...👎👎👎

[@karensparks2509]

I know I heard Richard is a recluse. I am private too! Yet, he was so bubbly?

[@jonleibow3604]

I miss this version of Jim.

[@ValleyoftheRogue]

Appreciate you uploading these vintage videos since it appears Jim Bakker himself will never get around to putting these classic programs on his website. He has many hours of tapes, but he has yet to upload any of these, maybe because Tammy Faye is in them.

[@ptlclub]

You're welcome! I wish Jim would upload them too. They started awhile back but stopped.

[@tocool1119]

@@ptlclub I think something happened they made them stop posting them and made them remove the ones that was up

[@gener2682]

@@tocool1119 It could have to do with licensing of the music and replaying it.

[@enerrivers4392]

My grandmother was very stylish. She had the very same eyeglasses ole jimbo wearing. I'm most certain granMa had her's 1st.

[@ptlclub]

I agree Ener! My grandmother, aunts and most of my female family members wear those big eyeglasses. Some even had their monogrammed on the corner of the glass.

[@charlesbarnes9235]

Tammy and Richard should be brother and sister. They act so much alike.....LOL.....i can't believe Tammy is gone...

[@teijaflink2226]

I think they both seem like great people, very empathetic and caring and I like that they dare to be themselves and do what gives them joy.

[@manthony777]

Heritage USA was a beautiful place. Jerry Falwell was motivated by jealousy.

[@ptlclub]

It sure was, Michael. Wish I could have seen it back then.

[@BB-kt5eb]

Jealousy was part of it, but his political agenda was his real motivation. He saw that the Bakkers were encouraging people to love and accept people without having to fear those who aren’t like themselves. Falwell knew that would stand in the way of turning Christians into the kind of republicans he wanted them to be.

[@noahc6246]

I want to stay in the tower!

[@cafeconlechegrl]

12:21 RIP Richard 😢

[@RichardSimmonsoftheSouth]

Richarrrdddddddddd!! 💖💪

[@AiMR]

Richard Simmons and Wieners? I sense this was a theme show.

[@mbouw21]

What happened in 1987 to the residents of Kevin’s house?

[@ptlfan8812]

What happens to all squatters. Remember that song "Hit the Road, Jack"?

[@graceygal2664]

Who's the man who richard Simmons hugged around the start of the show

[@ptlclub]

Hi Dave. I think you're talking about one of the PTL singers.

[@gibby100]

Lee Young

[@walterweddle7644]

It's sad seeing how Heritage USA looked then in contrast as it looks today. I never liked the Falwells. They help destroy what was once a great and beautiful place on earth.

[@ptlclub]

It's amazing how long it took Jim to build Heritage USA. And it's even more amazing how short time someone can destroy it.

[@BB-kt5eb]

I’m amazed at how massive the audience section is. I never realized this at the time.

[@teijaflink2226]

Okay I don't know if this was a planned scam but Jerry Falwell seems like a snake, not someone I would trust.

[@ic1815]

What song is Tammy singing at the end of the program? Ah, it’s He Don’t See Me with His Eyes.

[@komododrag5232]

What year was this?

[@ptlclub]

Hi komodo! The year was 1986. Most of the videos were aired and recorded in 1986.

[@HealingMusiciansLaunchcast]

4 days 3 nights for the rest of... ooooops

[@Valkonnen]

But Richard is a Homosexual man, which goes directly against the scripture that they believe. No one sees this?

[@mj6962]

Watching that “Special” roll-in just made me SO angry at Falwell and all of the anti-Christ demons who worked so hard to destroy ALL of this. All of it. Ruined. And for what? FOR WHAT?!?! Jerry Falwell’s pride? For evil people to have a sick sense of accomplishment??? And worse, the disgusting people who called themselves “Christians” who showed even more hate than most non-believers, to feel more righteous? Please, Lord Jesus, help me to forgive them! Blessed be the NAME OF the Lord, always and forevermore. But vengeance is the Lord’s, and trust me, I’ve seen the judgement of God on people who have done wrong against His people, and it was much better than I could have ever imagined! And I’m thankful that Jim is back now and stronger than ever before. I don’t always agree with him, but God has continued to use him for 8 decades now. Lord bless him! And bless this channel for all the great content!

[@terryowens8563]

He is quite a good conversationalist … but I noticed he talks more about selling products than he does about Christ on his show…

[@myroselle6987]

@@terryowens8563 I'm no expert and I'm certainly no judge....I used to watch Jim and Tammy but I never donated money or anything. But, at least, when the Bakkers were at Heritage USA there was something there for the people who were sending donations. People were getting something for their money. It seems like Falwell got the mailing lists and, maybe the satellite...not sure about details and then just let the "Theme Park" and hotels go to dust. At that time it was the third most popular tourist destination in the country. Third behind Disney World and Disneyland. There's nothing there at all now. Just bits and pieces. What a waste.
