    Admire Cody’s bravery in standing up to the “powers that be” but he can be a bit grating sometimes. Simultaneously, I wholly support his views and what he represents. I guess two things can be true at once? I also don’t understand the ‘frozen in time enamoured facial expression’ in the presence of others (and I have a ASD diagnosis)! It’s hard for me to tell when he’s being himself and when he’s playing a character.

    I enjoy the subjects and follow Cody D but the bickering and interrupting is difficult to hear. I had to turn off today when listening about the story on the new Elon Musk film. I wanted to hear the points being made but it was too screechy.

  • Very funny and informative

I have always been frustrated and disgusted by my peers who have enjoyed their privileged lives acting as though everything was fine. It wasn’t. I take a little pleasure in seeing so many of them FINALLY concerned about ... more
