You know, the first couple shows you showed me of Cody somewhat grated somehow. I didn't have a problem with what he was saying or anything, it was just the literal way he was saying it... maybe? Not sure, probably just wasn't use to him. These days though I rather enjoy watching the videos. :)

It's almost to the point where I ponder looking into getting a paypal account again just so I can fund some peeps patreons like his. Perhaps I'll look at it again after christmas.

I've never watched any of that Some News show that used to be on Cracked (of which Some More News is the spiritual successor [legally distinct, as Cody would say]), but from what I gather, the earlier episodes of Some More News was more in the Cracked mold(?), but now that he's hit his stride as far as being able to do his own thing, i.e. not be as... limited(?) as before(?), it's gotten better. Or so I've heard anyway, from others who are more familiar with both. As I said, I never bothered to watch any of the original Some News show. (For what it's worth, I haven't touched the Cracked website at all, ever since they got rid of Cody and most of the other bigger name people that were involved in most of the video stuff, the ones that hadn't already left by that point, anyway.)

As for me, now, I have to say that of all the news-shows-masquerading-as-comedy-shows, Some More News is by far the best, even above stuff like Last Week Tonight or The Daily Show, which is pretty impressive given that they're basically on a shoestring budget, based on whatever they get from Patreon, etc., however much that may be. (Also, as far as I know, Some More News doesn't put its content behind bullshit region-locking like some of the others. *cough*HBO*cough*)

Speaking of Cracked, or rather those that used to be on Cracked before Cracked got rid of them, I only just today learned of the existence of Small Beans, which appears to be Michael Swaim's attempt to "get the band back together" with other former Cracked employees, which seems to include Cody. So far, I haven't watched anything other than that intro video, but if it's anything like the old Cracked video stuff, it should be pretty good. Just the fact that they're doing a spiritual successor to After Hours is enough to get me interested.

Doesn't look like Soren Bowie or Dan O'Brien are involved, sadly, but at least they seem to be supportive of it, from what I've seen. As for those two, they're apparently doing a podcast or something together? Podcasts aren't really my thing, though, so I probably won't be getting into that. The last podcast I tried to keep up with was the Super Best Friendcast, and I got behind on that after 20 eps in and just never bothered to keep up after that, especially when they started entering the two and three-plus hour range.
