Cody's Showdy gets no respect.

I think it's consistently good occasionally great, and they crank out a lot of content (like besides weekly videos they do podcasts multiple times a week)

e; Oh, the show is called Some More News and the podcast is Even More News btw

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

I was made aware of his stuff after one of his appearances on the Behind The Bastards podcast. Some More News is good stuff!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's similar in terms of detail to Last Week Tonight but not as funny.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

It does get a lot more information and nuance though. Last week tonight only runs once a week. I don't know that Last Week Tonight cites all of their sources for each episode like Some More News does.

Turn out the only alive adult Cody is locked away in a room with only fox news and the communist Manifesto as info... For his safety of course

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago (2 children)

That's because when they grow up it is no longer acceptable to use that nickname and they go by Codward instead.

That's an Irish name and it's pronounced "Doug".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I thought it was Codsworth

I had a friend named Cody who was a straight A student, changed schools in 7th grade, fell in with a bad group of kids, got into a car accident, fell into a coma, lost site in one eye, and now coaches snowboarding. Not dead, though

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago

Not dead, though

Yes dead inside doesn’t count

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago

I have a cousin named Cody... that I haven't seen since high school 🤔🤔🤔😯

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Wait what about Doctor Mister Cody?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Warmbo is actually his bodyguard, and the corn cream is actually antidote.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

Now we know why. It all makes sense. It's all a ploy to get his bodyguard paid in plain sight.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Thought you were talking to me for a second

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No no you are Mister doctor Cody

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

omg I’m so embarrassed you’re right

I managed a Cody whom I called Codeine because he was a such a dope. 30ish, sold himself as a technician. In a car shop, pulled a ceiling mounted air hose over the left front fender to fill the rear tire, scratched the paint badly from the gritty hose. Left the bosses rolling stool under the alignment lift and heard plywood cracking as he lowered it, didn’t bother stopping until it was flat. Found out a week later he left the tierod nuts loose after adjustment. Left a flathead screwdriver in his back pocket and popped a hole in the customer seat. Worked one full day, sent home at lunch the next day with a full days pay, worth the price to get rid of him.

I was thinking that was dude's first month from the way you were describing it. One day?! He's like a walking condom advertisement!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

Got a nickname like that in a day and a half.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Isnt there a youtuber called codyslab? He looks pretty old.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

WhistlinDiesel is in his 20s too. Though portrays himself as having the intelligence of a 7th grader, so maybe that got him alived

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Uh, is that really a "portrayal"? Dude hangs out with Jake Paul.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Dude is a millionaire in his 20s and got there by destroying expensive cars he needs to buy first. He's got at least 2 businesses besides YouTube that he uses his videos to advertise for, because destroying increasingly expensive cars is not sustainable and he knows it.

I can't stand some of his recent videos either, but to call him stupid is definitely an overstatement. Not saying he's a genius, but he must have at least average intelligence to have gotten to where he is.

To the best of my knowledge, he didn't exactly grow up with money either. He was pretty poor when he started making videos

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 days ago (2 children)

That's because Cody is short for Come On Die Young.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Cum Once Die Young

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

Cody's Showdy.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

8th for me. Can confirm otherwise, though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

My uncle's name is Cody, he is 39. Unfortunately no one has strangled him yet. 🤞

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago

Or switches to their middle name to avoid the shame of being "Cody."

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

A disproportionate number of them become NFL quarterbacks. Who then end up playing for the Cleveland Browns, which kills them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

There are less than 300k people named Cody in the US

It's just not a very popular name

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They usually change it back to Cod Liver Oil when they become adults

The real name of Youtuber Alternate History hub is Cody, and he is probably in his Thirty's by now.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

The few codys I've met all wound up in logistics and/warehousing

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Nah, Cody teaches jujitsu at my kids’ afterschool program and looks to be in his early 30’s.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So you're going to need a replacement soon?

Damn..the one Cody I knew committed suicide and it was before 34

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

No way a bloke on my street named Cody died in car accident at the ripe age of 33. Conspiracy is real. /s

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I knew a Cody grade but I don't have any memories of him after that. Theory checks out..m

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Riptide anyone?
