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 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!

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Oni_eyes@sh.itjust.works 3 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

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 22 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.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

I thought it was Codsworth

[–] NinePeedles@sh.itjust.works 40 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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 15 points 3 days ago

Not dead, though

Yes dead inside doesn’t count

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 days ago

8th for me. Can confirm otherwise, though.

[–] douz0a0bouz@midwest.social 18 points 2 days ago

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

[–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 30 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Wait what about Doctor Mister Cody?

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 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.

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Thought you were talking to me for a second

[–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No no you are Mister doctor Cody

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

omg I’m so embarrassed you’re right

Oh we're using our superhero names? I'm Spider-Man.

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

It's just not a very popular name

[–] Goretantath@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 5 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

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 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

[–] Wolf@lemmy.today 6 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 9 points 2 days ago

Cody's Showdy.

[–] chrisbtoo@lemmy.ca 20 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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

Cum Once Die Young

[–] Carvex@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] DeceasedPassenger@lemmy.world 26 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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!

[–] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 13 points 3 days ago

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

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

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 3 days ago

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

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

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 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.

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So you're going to need a replacement soon?
