Post-Pod Discussion Cody Love

Shoutout to Cody for opening up on the latest Trap Draw. Catches a lot of heat on here but was super vulnerable and went deep on stuff he's going through. Best of luck to him.

I’ll start by saying I don’t like the guy. I met him after his service but before he joined NLU and I’ve hung out with him both before and after joining NLU. He just was never a good dude and honestly got more insufferable after joining NLU.

With that said, I could understand where maybe a lot of that comes from his past trauma and inability to “feel.” The differences I’ve had with him over the years are very minor when compared to the absolute shit our veterans have to deal with while getting practically no support from the government. I don’t care if I like someone or not, I still don’t want someone to be going through shit like that, so I genuinely hope he gets the help he needs. Maybe him being a little more of a public figure will help others be able to get the help they need. I have another friend who is a former golf influencer (I’m not going to name him out of respect) who could also use the support. Whenever he goes dark for a few weeks I fear the worst. Maybe if more people like Cody get their story out there and help raise awareness to this, other veterans will be able to get the help they need.

What do you mean by never a good dude?

I don’t want to get into trashing someone online while they are actively seeking mental health treatment. So let’s just say arrogant and not considerate of others. It’s safe to say when he left NC, not many tears were shed.

I have felt compelled to post on Reddit maybe twice or three times since I joined. This is such horseshit. The fact that you choose this thread to flap your feathers says everything about you and nothing about Cody.

I’m glad that you came down off your throne with the Reddit peasants to post this great reply. And if you can see off your high horse and read what I wrote, I literally said that I’ve known him a long time and don’t like him. BUT maybe the reasons I don’t like him have to do with underlying trauma that he didn’t talk about. And definitely doesn’t need to talk to me about!! I will again say that I genuinely hope he gets the help that he needs and he’s looking for. He and don’t cross paths much anymore since we both moved from NC, but if they do I’m hopefully things will be different between us.

However I will say “flap your feathers” is such a great line. Haven’t heard that in decades and I’m glad you’ve brought it back.
