live news person / world's hairiest seventh grader reaction

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

[–] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months 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!

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

[–] Oni_eyes@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months 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

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

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

Not dead, though

Yes dead inside doesn’t count

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months 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.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

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

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

I thought it was Codsworth

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.

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

Cum Once Die Young

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

[–] Goretantath@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months 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

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months 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

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 10 months ago

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

Cody's Showdy.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So you're going to need a replacement soon?

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago
[–] Wolf@lemmy.today 6 points 10 months ago

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

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

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

[–] HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

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

It's just not a very popular name

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

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

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

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

[–] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 3 points 10 months ago

I’ve never met a Cody, period. They aren’t common here.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Riptide anyone?

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

A friend of my husband's is a Cody and teaches at their old school now!

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 3 points 10 months ago

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

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I don't know about "executed", but if you go by the Matchbox 20 song Kody, there might be some mental health problems.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

Cody & Ko! Noooo! Watch out!!

[–] RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

I met one. He was an asshole.
