    That really sucks. I hope this not prying. Were they wrestling action figures? Other types. It’s crazy that you mention this because I had a relative who had the original Spider-Man, XMen, Thor, and iron man issues. Like put in the special mint condition and wrapped so delicately. They valued their collection around 65K. Bro, their mother was so pissed with them one day, they threw them all away in the 80s. I think they had the 60s original issues. People can be such dbags.

    Have you ever had a conversation with someone side by side like this? I ask because I have and to keep your back and head looking to your side for a long time hurts. Do it in a car. You’ll notice it hurts your neck or at the very least, creates an uncomfortable feeling in your neck. Could be that for Cody. Or he just feels like it’s uncomfortable for him. Or since they are both sitting down in front of a camera side by side, normally like reporters do, you look at the camera more than your reporting partners. Could be a mix of all that. Don’t think it has anything to do with not liking the dude since Cody is being professional and likable. Either way though, I’m not a fan of it since it looks like he doesn’t care about him which I don’t like. But Cody has always been great at always looking at his interviewers in the eye especially if there’s multiple of them like the podcast on impaulsive. So that leads me to believe it’s probably uncomfortable or he just didn’t care to look at him. Either way again, it does look odd 😂
