He's a mess. He's a menace. And he's more fun than a lunatic can hip toss! By the way, we vote evil.Make your parents buy you alcohol, beat up several 15 year old girls, and throw away every undeserved chance you get with Cody "Freight Train" East!!Check us out, every Tuesday.

Yay!
Oh, yay indeed.
We're back.
We are back.
My name is James Petrigallo.
I'm here with my co-host.
I am Jimmy Wissman.
We have a lot to yay about today.
I got to tell you guys.
A lot to yay about.
A crazy, crazy story of wildness.
Not unlike last week's crazy story of wildness with Ron LaFleur.
Hope you enjoyed that.
The inverted mess of crime. And I realized, too, how I knew the last name LaFleur. Hope you enjoyed that, the inverted mess of crime.
And I realized, too, how I knew the last name was from Dodgeball.
Oh, oh, oh.
It was Vince Vaughn's character in the movie LaFleur.
It turns out it was Peter LaFleur.
The hockey player there is at Guy LaFleur.
I knew there was one, but it's spelled different.
It doesn't matter.
Same thing.
Crazy story.
If you haven't listened to that, go back to last week and listen to Ron LaFleur because
it's a story kind of unlike any other we've ever
heard. It's like some ridiculous TV movie
which it actually was, but it's true.
It's crazy. With a twink and a
reading guy. The whole
thing's insane, but I hope
you guys enjoyed that, honestly. If you did,
I hope you got on iTunes
and gave us five stars on there.
If you haven't done that, if you did do that,
thank you, first of all. Thank you guys so much for the reviews last week.
They help us out enormously on the business end.
They really do.
So when we ask you to do this, it's not just for, like, make us feel good,
make us have an ego.
We don't need that.
It helps us on the business.
No matter what you can say to us positive, we're still miserable.
That's not going to help.
We're still going to be negative.
We're going to hate ourselves anyway.
So that's not going to help. But it does help on the business
end, just a tremendous amount. So if you could do that, get on iTunes, give us five stars. You
don't have to say anything crazy. Tell us you're following instructions, following directions,
whatever you want to say. It really doesn't matter. It's just the five stars on the business
end that drives you up the charts. It's a really big deal. If that's not enough for you, if you love this more than that and you're like, these
guys give me damn near two hours of this every damn week with crazy research and lots of
jokes, then you can get on patreon.com slash crime in sports and you can make a donation
to us.
There's some cool rewards and that sort of thing on there.
Or you want to make a one time donation.
You're like, I don't want to give you assholes money every month.
I want to give you a little bit here.
From time to time.
From time to time.
You can get on PayPal and you can do a one-time donation on there using our email address,
which is crimeandsports at gmail.com.
Dot com.
You can do that.
And I'm telling you guys, you guys drive the show and keep it alive and keep it going.
Because, yeah, honestly, we don't really make much on anything else off of this show.
We don't make a lot on sponsors.
We just don't.
It's just the way it is.
It's just we're not famous or anything like that.
Network or not, that doesn't help us.
That doesn't make it more lucrative financially for us.
So you guys keep it going.
You guys are the ones that are in charge of the show because you guys are driving us.
So thank you guys.
Let's meet our fella this week, shall we?
He's a winner, too, this guy, boy.
This is another story where you're just like, the whole time, just like, asshole.
Just God damn it, the son of a bitch.
Let's get back into the brain damage sports, as I like to call them.
We did baseball.
We did cricket.
Back into the brain damage sports, I like to call them boxing, MMA, wrestling, football.
These are the ones where you really get some insane violent assholes with issues.
With cricket, the brain damage is in the audience because you have to be nuts to be able to watch that shit.
You have to be bored or English or something to watch that.
I'm not sure which one.
Or just like you got fucking, I don't know what the word is because I apparently have it.
Dementia.
Dementia.
There you go.
If you can't remember dementia, that's a bad sign, I think, Jimmy.
That means you possibly are afflicted, my friend.
So let's go to MMA, brain damage sport number one, honestly.
Boxing maybe beats it out slightly, but MMA guys are crazy as we found.
They sure are.
And they're always a lot of fun for us anyway for a show.
You've got to be crazy to do that shit.
You do.
You have to be a little bit crazy like this fella here, Cody East.
Cody Terry East is his full name.
And full disclosure, I have to say, it took me two hours to choose between him and his brother of which guy to do.
Isn't that great?
His brother will have his own episode.
Like Michael and Marcus Vick.
This is worse because it's like, God, this is really 50-50.
It's hard.
Really?
It's like, he's a bigger asshole like this, but oh my, what a bigger asshole here.
I'm telling you, I had to decide this guy's brother will have his own show in the future.
We'll do it early next year or something.
But this guy here, what a lunatic.
Cody East, known as the Freight Train in his fighting times, known as the Freight Train.
Born June 29, 1988.
The craziness bubbles to the surface.
A young man.
Yeah, he's a younger guy, this guy here.
Yeah, we did the 70s.
We went back in time.
We've kind of come back up in time.
Dude's still in the 70s. We went back in time. We've kind of come back up in time. We went from like the 50s to the 70s and 80s, and now we're going to come into today like a radio station, from the 50s through today.
Now, he –
What a shit radio station that would be.
That's a shit radio.
It's just everything.
You never duplicate a song with 50s to today.
It's weird when you hear Kanye and Dion back to back, too.
You're like, that's super weird.
I don't think I...
Earth, Wind & Fire, followed by Garth Brooks.
Coming up in the 11 o'clock hour.
This is the strangest radio station I've ever heard.
What in the fuck happened?
The only people that would like this are middle-aged white ladies.
They like everything.
I just like all music.
No, you fucking don't.
I like that.
Sometimes I want to dance, and then Garth Brooks comes on, and that's okay, too.
All right, then.
We've got Taylor Swift followed by Bruce Springsteen coming up.
Followed by Bruce Springsteen.
He's an athlete, Cody East.
He's an athlete from the very beginning.
Big guy, too.
Grows up to be 6'3 or 6'4.
It's debated somehow on that.
260 pounds.
He's a big, big dude.
So is his brother.
Big heavyweight.
Coming up, just an athlete all around.
He wrestles in high school.
He plays football in high school.
In 2004, I found, good Lord, this is one of those ones where it was a lot of digging on this one to find certain things.
I found a, he's from Albuquerque, New Mexico
is where he was born. He grows
up in New Mexico. I found
a bracket from a high school
wrestling tournament from 2004.
That was not easy to find
for some New Mexico
state championship tournament.
Wow. He was I think
a sophomore that year.
He lost in a semifinal match that year.
He won a couple matches and lost in the semifinals to a guy who eventually came in third.
So that's what happened to him in 2004.
So he lost to the bronze medalist.
Apparently so, but he was only in 10th grade at the time.
At the same time he's doing this, he's also playing fullback and defensive end on the Los Lunas high school football team at the same time.
So he's a big athlete on campus.
And like I said, he's a big guy and he's a successful athlete for the most part.
So he's a popular guy, parties a lot, likes to drink.
Big fucking jock.
Big jock guy.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Just a very stereotypical deal here.
February 2005, Cody wins the Class 5A state wrestling title.
Okay.
So that's the next year's junior year.
It's always fascinating to me that guys like him are very loose with the homo F word.
Oh, God, yeah.
Yet he's in a fucking tight-ass singlet.
His whole life.
And he is going under legs.
Wrestling, MMA.
He's like, I want to grapple with men.
I want to have balls on my face at some point.
But he will be so fast to call you a fast.
Thin piece of lycra between us, that's fine.
Put your balls right on my face.
That's the only thing keeping those shits off your chin, bro.
Thin, thin.
Almost see-through.
It's paper thin.
It's paper thin.
Otherwise, there's balls on you, brother.
Or an ass, or there's lots of stuff. Which is fine if that's what you're into. Totally cool. Otherwise, there's balls on you, brother, or an ass, or there's lots of stuff, which is fine if that's what you're into.
Totally cool.
Otherwise, there's balls on you.
I'm not judging.
I'm just saying if you're going to be super fearful, homophobic, I don't want to say homoerotic.
I'm like, that's definitely not the right word.
That's exactly what it is.
I need more sleep.
Exactly what he is. I need more sleep.
If you're definitely, if you're, by the way, a little explanation here for our exhaustedness
too.
Like, I just couldn't think of.
Homosexual.
God, Jesus, I still can't think of the word.
Oh, that's hilarious.
I couldn't even think of it because we had a crazy long night and we haven't slept at
all.
And yeah, I got married last night.
James got married on like in-between courses of meals.
Pretty much.
He's like, hey, we're going to get married quick.
So the steaks are done.
You guys want some steaks, some shrimp.
I got the salad being tossed right now.
But I'm going to get married.
By the way, there's 11 people at my door.
Yeah.
My mom.
Yeah, they're coming over.
We're getting married real quick.
Sarah's mom's here.
So let's just, what are you going to say?
Let's just fucking get married.
So we did that,
and then after that,
I went,
she went to bed,
everybody left,
and I did small town murder research
all night long.
So this is crazy.
We're committed to this, guys.
We're so damn committed to this.
We give a shit.
We're so damn, yeah.
So yeah,
you would think
he would be not so scared of gays, you would think there.
That's the point.
But he is.
He's very scared.
He's terrified.
Terrified, which is hilarious in my opinion.
So he wins.
This is the 189-pound division.
Yeah.
Which is way different than when he's a couple years from now and he's 260.
So, I mean, he's in high school here.
He's a junior.
He's 16, 17 years old.
180 pounds in high school is crazy.
190, yeah. That's bananas. He's 16, 17 years old. 180 pounds in high school is crazy. 190, yeah.
That's bananas. He's a big kid, man.
Also,
he's just playing defensive end for
the Tigers football team this year, too.
He's working his way up there. You can't get past that fucker.
No. You're not getting past him. He's huge, and he's
crazy, as we'll get into also here.
Friday, September 16,
2005, Cody has
a little bit of trouble at school.
Yeah.
A little bit of trouble.
Nothing much here.
He is arrested on a Friday morning at school.
A little bit of trouble.
A little bit of trouble.
It's when your assignment's late.
Well, that's when you're like sitting in a vice principal's office waiting to hear if you've got to do Saturday detention.
This is he's hauled away from school in handcuffs on a Friday morning
on charges that he allegedly sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl
a couple weeks earlier, a 15-year-old classmate.
The police detective, Captain Charles Nuances,
says that 17-year-old Cody here was taken in while the team bus,
the football team's bus, was leaving for a game in Las Cruces.
They yanked his ass.
They're pulling away.
They head all the way down there.
And they pulled him off the bus?
They were getting on the bus.
And they were like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Yeah, you're fine.
You're fine.
One of you doesn't go.
Number 28, get your ass off the bus.
Let's go, jerk off.
So they pull him off the bus.
He is being charged with 10 counts of sexual contact of a minor,
four counts of criminal sexual penetration of a minor,
and one count of false imprisonment.
Even voluntary penetration sounds aggressive, like we've said before.
Even please penetrate me sounds very aggressive.
When you add criminal and sexual and minor to that, wow, is that a strong one?
That's a Long Island iced tea.
That's a strong one.
Her dad was pissed.
Her dad was the one that called the cops, as a matter of fact, here.
The incident, the alleged incident, took place during a party at Cody's parents' home.
Cody's parents, as we're going to find out through this,
are just as big of assholes as he is,
which is why they have two complete menace to society
fuckhead sons.
This is why.
Parents like this fucking cause this.
Stop being friends with your kids.
Stop letting them have parties,
because between him and his brother for years,
there's so many party time crimes going on.
Your kid goes to school where there's hundreds of kids to be his friend.
He needs a fucking parent.
He needs a parent.
Exactly.
Get your ass home.
Tell him you can have a party, but don't buy them all booze and let them do whatever they want.
Don't be the cool parent.
That's the problem here.
It was apparently on September 9th of that year, following a Bellin High School versus Los Lunas High School football game.
This happened in 2005.
According to the police here, the parents of the girl called the police about a week after the alleged incident.
And a week later, after doing a little investigating, they pull Cody's ass off the bus and they go, someone's not playing defensive end this week.
pull Cody's ass off the bus and they go, someone's not playing defensive end this week.
The police said they interviewed several witnesses, including the alleged victim, and all had very similar stories of the goings on that night.
A warrant is issued for his arrest, and there you go.
They pull his ass in.
He is being held at the time at the Juvenile Detention Center in Albuquerque and was supposed
to make his first appearance in Children's Court on the next Monday because he's only 17.
Children's Court.
17 years old.
Yeah, I know, but calling it Children's Court.
It's silly.
Find a better word because Children's Hospital implies like sick kids.
Children's Court sounds like you're fighting for custody.
It sounds like displaced children that are like, again, little chimney sweep Dickens kids.
And they're like, please, may I have a home?
And they're like, I don't know, kid.
Banging a gavel.
Children's court.
That's the case that was right before his.
Please, may I have a home?
No.
Fuck you.
Next course.
Rape.
What the fuck is this?
This is a six foot four, 200 pound man raping people at a high school football party.
So this is way different.
He walks in with a balloon tied to his wrist, and they're about to try him for rape.
For rape.
Unbelievable.
For actual rape here.
Yeah, a week later, he's indicted.
He remains in jail.
A week later, he's indicted on 15 counts of sexual assault.
Like we said, the sexual penetration in the first degree, all the other ones.
In addition to that, they also throw in a false imprisonment in there for keeping her,
which is a fourth-degree felony.
So a lot going on.
That's crazy.
That's a lot of shit popping off.
And four counts of penetration.
That's a lot of penetration.
He was with her for a long time.
Well, yeah, we'll get into exactly what happened here.
He pleads not guilty, pleads innocent to all these charges.
They're going to set a trial date later.
At the time, he is suspended from all sports teams after allegations.
He's in jail.
It doesn't matter.
He's still sitting in juvie.
So suspended or not, he's not playing.
Kind of forced suspension.
A little bit.
He spends, from this, from his initial arrest, he spends 36 days in juvenile detention awaiting some sort of resolution for this whole thing.
Over a month.
Finally, District Judge John Pope grants his release and placed Cody on house arrest.
Under the terms of his release, he's required to wear a monitoring device.
He's not going to school yet, though.
They're having him have at-home tutoring also.
Because he's about to be the coolest kid in school with a fucking ankle bracelet.
With an ankle bracelet.
Well, I don't know.
He's a rapist, so they might not be like, well, he did rape Sally, but that bracelet's
pretty cool.
But with kids, they're probably like, well, he's out, so he probably didn't do it.
And not only that, kids are assholes, and they're probably just like, fucking Sally's
a slut anyway.
I heard she gave fucking Billy a handjob, so fuck, I'm sure she fucked him and everybody else.
That's how kids, they don't even think like, oh, maybe she's just over there and didn't want to have sex with this fucking guy.
There was a girl in our school that we called Blumpkin because she gave blowjobs to dudes sitting on the toilet.
That's what we called her.
I thought you were going to say sitting on a pumpkin.
I don't know why I said that.
I'm like, where's the umpkin come into? I'm you were going to say sitting on a pumpkin. No. I don't know why you said that. I'm like, where's the umpkin come into?
I'm like, why are they sitting on a pumpkin?
That's a very specific incident that happened.
Well, it's usually while you're taking a shit.
That's the blowjob.
That's a blowjob while you're-
Wow.
Dumpkin.
I don't know.
I want a pumpkin involved in that in some way, shape, or form.
Can someone chew on some pumpkin seeds?
And that's what they called her.
And everybody thought it was-
And looking back, I thought it was hysterical.
Now looking forward, I'm like, I like i don't anybody call my daughter that
that's fucked up yeah and god you know what god bless her that's a sweet girl no shit she's making
dreams come true she's making dreams come true man so nice yeah we had a fart girl is what we
had in our school we didn't have that there was this girl she was a nice girl too and she was new
and in like 11th or 12th grade.
And we were at this party.
And it was like out, you know, wherever the fuck in the woods or somewhere.
And we were at this party.
And she got sick and was throwing up.
Oh, no.
And just blasted.
I'd say an eight-second-long fart.
That was.
Because it was like.
While throwing up?
Yeah, it was like.
It was one of those.
And it was so aggressive.
Her poor stomach muscles flexed so hard.
And it was one of those farts where it didn't happen quick to where people would have turned around and said, where'd that fart come from?
Or what was that?
It was so long that people had time to go, is that a fart?
Really?
And look around and go, oh, it's coming from her right now.
Holy shit, that's a long fart.
And then have it stop.
That's a long fart.
That'll earn you fart girl.
And that'll earn you fart girl for the rest of your days in the school.
This was like her second week in school.
And from then on, poor fart girl.
Poor little fart girl.
But again, as the other girl who should have been made a martyr at school and told every day how amazing she is.
All the guys should have been like, I admire your commitment.
It's true.
At some point, you're like, you got to be like embarrassing and stop.
But no, she was just like fucking.
She couldn't control it.
She was like.
I'm just letting it go.
Fuck it.
It was coming out as she was like.
She's my hero at this point.
It was impressive.
I got to say.
It was an impression.
It was a hell of a fart. It really point. It was impressive, I've got to say. And it was a hell of a fart.
It really was.
It was good.
She's trying to get all the poison out of her stomach, all this beer.
She's getting something out of her stomach.
And she expels it everywhere.
Wow, she must have eaten a lot of cheese earlier that day.
That's all I know.
I like her.
Fart girl.
I wonder what ever happened to fart girl.
I'm not sure.
Fart girl is the shit.
Fart girl.
We're going to find fart girl.
That's my goal. We're going to find out what her name is and email her. I know not sure. Fart Girl is the shit. Fart Girl. We're going to find Fart Girl.
That's my goal.
We're going to find out what her name is and email her. I know her name.
I'm not going to say it.
I know her name and I'm going to look her up on Facebook.
Don't say it.
She could be a CEO at Wells Fargo or some shit.
I guarantee you she's not.
I remember this girl.
She is not a CEO of anything at all.
I guarantee you she'd rather be known as Fart Girl than Blumpkin.
Probably.
They'd call that to her face.
They'd be like, Blumpkin, come here.
But that doesn't even have a connotation of actual.
I didn't even know what it was.
Everybody in our school apparently knew.
Fart Girl.
There's no mistaking that.
She's fucking Fart Girl.
There's no fucking double entendre there.
That is one meaning and one meaning only.
So what we're trying to say is kids are dicks.
Yeah, they are. Especially teenagers. Fucking assholes. Especially to women and to girls. Oh is one meaning and one meaning only. So what we're trying to say is kids are dicks. Yeah.
Especially teenagers.
Fucking assholes.
Especially to women
and to girls.
Oh, they're so mean to girls.
Such assholes.
And it's just because
they want to fuck them.
Oh, God, yeah.
That's all it is.
That's all it is.
They're shaking with...
And they have no cool
about them to just be
fucking...
There's no game whatsoever there.
To just be...
To fucking play it cool.
No.
Be you.
January 15th, 2006. Yeah. Like I said, he's been tutoring. He's readmitted to school, Cody. Okay. No. Be you. January 15th, 2006.
Like I said, he's been tutoring.
He's readmitted to school, Cody.
Okay.
They readmit him.
No trial date's been set yet.
Okay.
So it's just floating in the air.
The superintendent of schools for Los Lunas, Walter Gibson, said that East had, you know,
Cody made up his schoolwork that he missed when he was incarcerated, when he was in tutoring,
and he's academically in good standing.
And he says, quote, he is innocent until proven guilty.
Quite frankly, I can't keep a kid out of school without a good reason.
I don't know.
Rape?
That's a good reason.
I mean, he's a menace.
Hey, look, you know, he is kind of accused of rape.
So until that's cleared up, once he's cleared up, then hey, fine.
Once it's all, hey, not guilty, then great.
Come on back.
Even though you probably did it anyway.
Still, come on back in. We can't keep you out for that. But there's a rape charge hanging. Whatever? Then great. Come on back. Come on back. Even though you probably did it anyway. Still, come on back in.
We can't keep you out for that.
But there's a rape charge hanging.
Whatever.
We'll see what happens here.
How many 15-year-old girls you got at that school, sir?
Yeah.
That's a good point.
What the fuck?
Yeah.
So lots of them.
Just lots of them.
Let's bring him right back.
No parties for Cody, let's say.
No parties.
But he's going to have parties.
He's going to have more parties.
He's going to party like a motherfucker.
You know it.
going to have parties. He's going to have more parties. He's going to party like a motherfucker. You know it.
January 22nd, 2006,
which is a week later,
turns out he's going to have a chance
to defend his state
wrestling championship after all
because even though he's still wearing
an electronic device on his ankle and everything
else, he is ready to make his season
debut at the Rio Grande
Invitational Wrestling Tournament.
He's reinstated to sports.
Wow.
I get that you might have to let the kid back into school for education.
You don't have to give him privileges of sports until the rape case is fucking cleared up.
Extracurriculars can be held.
No.
Hold it back.
That's fun for him.
It is.
You know what I mean?
He gets no fun.
No.
Well, guess what?
And he's excited about it, and we know so because we have an in their own words about this.
In their own words, quote, it's been a long wait.
It's been hard because I've done sports my whole life and I've had to sit out.
But now I'm back into it.
So it's a lot better.
So many mentions of dicks there.
Long, hard, long, hard, better, lot.
So I'm glad he's happy.
He seems like everything's a lot better. I hope the So I'm glad he's happy.
He seems like everything's a lot better.
I hope the girl is feeling the same way.
I'm not sure.
Also, he's reinstated to football also at that point. I mean, hopefully, at minimum here, it was a mutual agreed upon experience to have sex.
Yes.
And then her dad just found out.
That's what we hope for.
That's the best case scenario.
That's the best case scenario.
But don't fuck 15-year-olds ever.
Don't do that at all, especially when you're drinking with them at your house.
Oh, God.
Jesus, the whole thing is.
Unless you're 15.
You know what?
Even then, don't fuck a 15-year-old.
I have a 15-year-old daughter.
Stay the fuck away from her.
Don't fuck 15-year-olds.
Keep your 15-year-old dick away from my daughter.
Period.
End of story.
Done and done.
Don't fuck a 15-year-old.
Please don't.
I beg of you.
That's crime and sports' plea to you. Please don't fuck 15-year-old. Please don't. I beg of you. That's crime and sports' plea to you.
Please don't fuck 15-year-olds.
That's our next shirt.
And then next year, please don't fuck 16-year-olds.
And then please don't fuck 16-year-olds.
And then it peters out around 18.
But please still don't fuck 16-year-olds.
Yeah, please don't.
And try to even go up from 18 if you're older.
Unless you're 18.
If you're capable, please do.
Knock yourself out.
So 2006, the Los Lunas football team went 5-6.
Not that great that year.
Nationally, they were ranked 5,379th nationally.
They're killing it.
But 23rd in New Mexico.
That lets you know how the competition is.
That tells you in New Mexico why you don't hear a lot of NFL players hailing from New Mexico.
Because their 23rd is 5,300th nationally. you in New Mexico why you don't hear a lot of NFL players hailing from New Mexico because their
23rd is 5300th
nationally. It's generally
overweight Native Americans
that live in New Mexico.
Is that the population there?
That is really sweeping.
Not just...
There's a lot of Native Americans there.
Overweight, all of them.
Are they all diabetic too, Jimmy?
What else?
They wait in a scalpia?
What's going on?
There's a lot of tomahawk sharpening.
Have they been attacking settlers?
Has that been the problem?
Everybody, my co-host Andrew Jackson here.
This is terrific.
It did sound really terrible.
Welcome to Crime and Sports.
My name is James Petrigal.
I'm here with my co-host, Andrew Jackson.
Co-host, right.
Terribly, terribly inappropriate, Jimmy Westman.
He did not mean it like that, like it sounded.
But God damn it, was it funny.
I'm better off calling him horrible names.
You would be at that point.
August of 2006.
He's got rape charges dangling.
Okay.
You'd think he's going to keep straight and narrow. He's in high school. He's got rape charges dangling. Okay. You'd think he's going to keep straight and narrow.
He's in high school.
He's trying to.
No.
A smart kid would.
A smart kid would.
A smart kid probably wouldn't be in that position to begin with.
But now that he's in it.
Yeah.
Get your shit together here.
Or ride it fucking out.
Yeah.
Just be a menace.
Just go out and just have like a.
Balls to the wall.
Do it up, man.
That's me.
That could be.
Well, he might be working on that.
August of 2006, he's arrested again.
Oh, boy.
This time, it is for a domestic dispute at home, not with a girlfriend or a wife, but
instead with his younger brother, Tyler, who is also an MMA fighter.
Tyler Beast East is his name.
And like I said, we'll be doing an episode on him because he's maybe a bigger asshole
than this guy, but I don't think so.
I think Cody's the bigger asshole.
He's the older brother.
He's had more time to cultivate his asshole-ness, and I feel like it comes to the surface.
It really shows in the end.
Proof is in the pudding.
You know what I mean?
He's put the work in, this guy.
He's had the years, the experience.
It's good stock.
He's arrested for throwing a wrench at Tyler.
Holy shit.
Threw a wrench at him during a fight.
How does it accelerate to that?
I don't know.
These guys are nuts. That's a weapon, man. And they're probably drinking, too. Theyrew a wrench at him during a fight. How does it accelerate to that? I don't know. These guys are nuts.
That's a weapon, man.
And they're probably drinking, too.
They drink a ton.
When I was a kid, we fought with things, and we grabbed a wrench.
That's hardcore.
That's killing material.
Yeah, so he could kill somebody, but he throws a wrench at this kid, and the cops come, and
he also resists officers, too.
So now he's a kid being arrested in his own home trying to fight back
against the cops
after he hit his younger brother
in the head
with a fucking wrench.
Wow.
Holy shit.
What a mess already
and he's not even
out of high school yet
and this is already
a fucking disaster
and it gets worse.
Really?
Oh, this is going to get
worse and worse
and worse and worse.
This guy is a disaster
from chapter one
to the back cover
of the dust jacket thing.
I'm going to go on a limb and say he hasn't even dropped out of high school yet.
And he's already got a rape charge.
He's on his way.
Horrible, horrible, I don't know, what do you call that?
Attack, abuse?
I guess it's your younger brother.
You hit him with a wrench.
It's a psychotic way of attacking your brother.
That's definitely different.
Yeah, I've never attacked my brother with any toolbox level tools at all.
Something I've actually got to go to the garage
for. Yeah, like, hold on a minute here.
I'll be right back. Oh, where's the three-quarter?
I got to leave the room
to get what I'm going to beat you with. That's something.
Probably the house. He probably had to
walk out to the tool shed. Maybe.
It's bananas. Yeah, they're kind of white
trash. They probably just had tools laying around.
I figured, just standing there.
August 28, 2006. He graduated they're kind of white trash. They probably just had tools laying around, I figured, just standing there. So August 28, 2006.
Now, he graduated in June.
He did graduate.
He did graduate in June.
So August 28, 2006.
He's bored.
You know what I mean?
This whole time he's got to fight his brother.
Imagine this guy sitting around for a whole summer in the middle of New Mexico somewhere.
Awful.
He is trying to get the court, because he's still got the rape charge hanging.
It still hasn't been taken care of yet.
He is trying to get the court to allow him to attend a junior college in Irvine, California.
Leaving the state.
Leaving the state where he would be living off campus.
He's not even supervised there.
And he would also have a chance to wrestle on the school's wrestling team.
So that's what he's trying to do here.
But the silver lining is they get him the fuck out of this town.
That's the thing.
Can we get rid of this guy?
But then, yeah, you don't want to be casting your problems off on some other poor, unsuspecting town.
I guess during they had a hearing for all this.
He's looking for a change of the conditions of his release.
The district attorney, Beverly Taylor, told the judge that Cody had violated conditions of his release several times of the at-home release.
A juvenile probation officer testified that Cody's electronic monitor had shown he was out of range for several minutes at a time on four different days just that month.
And that he was reported out of range two months ago, too, when his parents said they
claimed they took him to a hospital in Albuquerque.
Yeah.
So he's out of range a lot of his monitoring device.
And so they're like, why are we going to reward this kid?
The net on that has to be so big, too.
It is.
To get out of range, you've really got to move.
It's a house arrest.
So I remember I had a friend in high school who was on house arrest.
And he lived right near a 7-Eleven. So he could go to the 7-Eleven, but on house arrest and like he lived right near like a 7-Eleven.
So he could go to the 7-Eleven, but he couldn't go to the back coolers of the 7-Eleven.
Like he can only go up by the counter and be out of range.
If you want candy and chips were like his limit of how far he could go away from his house.
Like literally, he's like, I really want a soda, but I'll go to jail if I get arrested.
So I'm going to stick to Reese's Pieces for now.
Like that's what he would do.
I swear to God.
He would ask us, can you go get me a soda?
Because I can't go back there.
He'd be like, all right.
So this kid's an idiot, and he's going out, and he's probably hanging out with his friends,
and I'm sure he's drinking.
Of course.
He's a fucking asshole.
Back to State District Judge John Pope, the guy from earlier here.
He denies the request.
He said, no, no, no.
I'd like to keep an eye on you here and keep you close.
He also said that he's not inclined to reward someone who had violated his own court order.
He's like, I ordered it.
You didn't listen.
Now you're asking me for a favor?
Go fuck yourself, dude.
You didn't have the decency to ask a different judge?
Like, what the fuck?
What are we doing here?
No, that's the one he got.
The judge did agree, though, to consider.
He also put in a request, East.
The judge said he will consider the request to work with his father at an Albuquerque construction company because he wants to go work there, which that's fine.
Gainful employment.
Yeah, go ahead.
Go work and that's fine.
Trying to better himself.
Yeah, I'm okay with that.
This is within the judge said he'll rule within the next 30 days. And he does end up letting him work with his dad.
So there's that.
Both the everybody, all the lawyers say the trial is going to be ready to roll in the fall on this one.
Doesn't it doesn't happen until April of 2007.
Jesus.
So, you know, it's like two years removed here.
The sexual assault trial begins on April 16th.
The prosecutor in the case, Aaron Jordan, he told the jurors in the opening that Cody raped this girl.
And a very familiar way, too, he used a dresser to barricade the door.
Oh, shit.
We remember that from our, I don't even want to say pal, but our one-time covered subject, Eddie Johnson, who was top five piece of shit that we've covered.
Awful guy.
He moved a dresser in front of a bedroom door so he could rape an eight-year-old, which
got him life in prison, thankfully.
This one, though, he does it so you can, so five years, or seven years makes a difference
between life in prison and you can be on the football team, apparently, at a girl's age,
which either way, just as bad.
So that implies that it was not, it absolutely was not a willing participant.
Usually I don't.
Yeah, I wouldn't be like, hey, let's get it on.
Hold on.
Let me barricade the door.
That's not normal behavior.
I've never done that before in my life.
Never.
I've never.
Several times.
Several.
At least twice.
I know for a fact, at least twice.
Judged on you.
Judging by your children.
Yeah.
So, yeah, I see the move the bedroom moved the dresser in front of the bedroom door.
The prosecutor said there was nothing consensual about the sex whatsoever.
Prosecutor Jordan said, quote, she didn't consent to any of this.
She told the defendant no over and over again.
Problem is, at this point, Tyler is up to 220 pounds.
He's 6'4". This girl is 4' pounds he's six foot four this girl is 4 11
oh jesus this girl is 4 11 so to me when i look at that that doesn't look great right away you're
like oh boy she's saying she forced you forced yeah yourself on her and it looks like you really
could force yourself on her if you wanted to like that is no problem here so that that looks bad
right there but his defense attorney of course he got a woman defense attorney because he's not, you know, he's thinking here.
He's very strategic in his fucking arguments and his guess.
Yes, he is.
And he is for his whole life here.
His attorney here, Jane Rocha de Gondera, said the sex was consensual.
And her contention here, and this is why you would get a female attorney to say – not that this is why you would need a female attorney.
They're the same either way in terms of skill level, but a man couldn't say what this woman says in court.
A man couldn't say that this girl is a nice church-going girl and made up the rape story to not piss her family off.
A male attorney could not stand up in court and fucking say that.
You just, she essentially.
You could, but you'll fuck your client pretty good if you do.
A girl called a girl a slut.
Like, that's okay.
He's like, look, she, you know, she's supposed to be a nice girl, but she's a little whore-y
and didn't want to tell her parents about it.
And it's like, wow, that's quite the defense.
That's interesting.
Yeah.
But a woman says it and it's okay because they say it all the time.
That's slut back. Yeah, that's slut back. Yeah, exactly. They can talk shit about each other, and it's okay, because they say it all the time. That's slut back.
Yeah, that's slut back.
Yeah, exactly.
They can talk shit about each other, which I guess we talk shit about each other, too.
So I guess we keep it all in house.
Let's do this, guys.
Make fun of your own, everybody.
Make fun of your own.
Keep it on your own side.
Keep it in your own pants.
Right.
So police here in the trial say that they not only claim that he raped her, they say
he raped her several times over a several hour
period. What? Kept her trapped
in the room, preventing her from leaving
for several hours, and that's
why you get the false imprisonment.
And several counts, I assume
four. I assume he probably raped her
maybe four times based on the number of
counts of forcible
penetration and all this.
So this looks really bad for Cody.
Terrible.
Not looking great so far.
I wouldn't want to be in his shoes right now.
I wouldn't because, like we've said, staunch record of non-rape for both of us.
It's pretty weird.
I try to keep that one impeccable.
That and a thousand on non-raping.
Every day I wake up and I go, didn't rape anybody again.
I'm the king of non-rape.
Yeah.
I am the king.
I don't know.
I'm challenging you.
I'm running with you.
I don't know, man.
You know what? Let's throw down for the crown let's do this shit whoever lives longer is going to get it i think at that point because neither of us are i'm not raping into raping
anybody so this looks bad uh they have uh this goes to the to the jury yeah they come back
cody is found not guilty he's acquitted of everything. What?
Of everything.
They believed that church going, she's a hussy shit.
Apparently so. Wow.
They believed it.
They believed him.
He had, you know, he's an upstanding.
They did the whole thing with him being a great athlete.
Yeah.
And he's a, you know, he's a state champion wrestler.
And this is, you know, silly.
And literally that's what they did.
They did the, he's such a good kid and he's a good representation of the community
and he's got a big future ahead of him.
Why would we want to ruin it with a little rape charge?
Did they find 12 of our past subjects
to have on this fucking jury?
What happened?
That's, I mean, the whole court,
it's like the silver haired middle-aged entire court that day.
Like what the fuck happened?
They all were wagering on what they can make off of him.
That's crazy.
Yeah, they were buying stock.
It's insane.
So July 24th here so okay
he's gonna calm down now this is you know he's got he's got to chill the fuck out it's that's
april 16 2007 he's just graduated he wasn't even allowed to go off to college he just won the
lottery essentially he just won the lottery yeah because he could have been in deep shit for a long
time there and instead holy shit whole life ahead of him.
So chill the fuck out.
Go home.
Relax.
Work with your dad.
Stay away from the beer.
Get a job.
Enroll in college.
Try to wrestle on the team.
Do whatever you're doing sports-wise.
Whatever.
You would imagine that.
But instead, on July 24, 2007, he makes bad decisions, this guy, always.
He is going to face charges stemming
from this night of aggravated assault
and child abuse. Oh, boy.
Following a complete
lunatic fucking nutcase
rampage at his parents' home
during a party. And child
abuse? Child abuse, yeah, because he's
got minors at the party because
he's just 18. Because he's the cool kid.
Yeah, and he's not that old.
And he beat a rape charge.
And he beat a rape charge.
He's an athlete and he's tough and he's all this shit and he's throwing wrenches at his little brother.
So you know that's a good guy.
So there's a bunch of people there, underage people and people from school and people that are under 18.
So now at this point, if you abuse anyone, it's child abuse.
Like on Sony in Philadelphia where they do the underage drinking bar.
Yes, it's the best.
Yeah.
It's like, oh, that's where the, that's an untapped market.
Yeah, obviously.
You can make so much money this way.
Doesn't that show just take off when Danny DeVito gets on there?
Once he comes in the door, you're like, oh, God.
Season one is great.
It's fine.
It's fun.
But once he comes in, they're like, you're on.
Next level. Why are you here? It's like, no, tell me why Danny DeVito's there. I want fun. But once he comes in, they're like, why are you here?
It's like, no, tell me why Danny DeVito's here.
I want to know.
Next level with DeVito.
He's the best.
And it's fucking amazing.
We're going to the strip club.
Why is he always in the strip club?
Yeah, he's just got money.
He's a problem.
You'll see some more.
He gets worse.
It's amazing.
You'll love that as it goes on.
Jimmy's on season two of Always Sunny.
So let's all encourage Jimmy.
It's beautiful, man.
Keep watching. Keep watching.
Keep watching.
Now, at this party, it's him and a shitload of other people drinking and partying at his
parents' house all day on a Tuesday starting at 9 a.m.
Holy shit.
9 a.m. on a Tuesday.
And summer vacation, 9 a.m. on a Tuesday, they have a house full of teenagers that are drunk and drinking 9 a.m. on a Tuesday they have a house full of teenagers
that are drunk and drinking yeah 9 a.m. on this is not gonna end well no obviously this isn't
gonna end well once the afternoon comes around a fight breaks out of course yeah between some
girls here there's some girls that are ready at the party that are drunk and hammered and some
girls their booze can't well shit. Yeah. Most teenagers can't.
Yeah.
They don't know.
They don't have a tolerance yet.
Apparently some other girls came in that these drunk girls had beef with and they were like,
oh, there's Becky and Susie.
They're going to go over there and kick their ass.
So they started getting into a fracas.
Cody gets pissed off at one of the groups.
We're not sure exactly which one of these groups, but he gets super mad and just starts raging around the house, yelling and screaming at the girls, breaking
windows and doors.
In his own house.
Breaking doors out and busting windows in his own parents' house.
Oh my God.
Going batshit, right?
Misplaced rage.
I would say, but then he places it.
He's misplaced for a moment.
He's like, window, door, oh no, I want to beat up 15-year-old girls instead.
Oh, God.
So he goes over, and this is amazing.
It's not nice, but it's funny.
He hip tosses.
He hip tosses several 14- to 15-year-old girls.
What?
He's hip tossing teenage girls.
That's where you arm wrap, and then you throw them over your shoulder. Yeah, like a hip toss. Yeah, yeah. That where you arm wrap and then you throw them over your shoulder.
Yeah, like a hip toss.
Yeah, yeah.
That's a hip toss.
And you throw them around you.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
He is hip tossing.
Several.
Well, that's like an arm drag is what you're thinking.
A hip toss is like you're both standing facing the same direction and you lock your arm under
and do that.
So he flips over.
Yeah, flips over.
Oh, my God.
He's hip tossing several 14 to 15-year-old girls.
While also, he'd like hip-toss a couple, kick a door out, hip-toss another one.
That's what he was doing.
I don't know if he was practicing that move or what.
Are they all just lined up and they're just like, my turn, my turn?
I don't know.
I think they're just in shock.
What the fuck happened to Cody?
What is going on, man?
Cody sounds like a little pussy name.
He's freaking out.
Why, Cody? What is going on, man? Cody sounds like a little pussy name. He's freaking out. Why, Cody?
Why?
During this alleged insanity, he breaks a couple noses.
Oh, boy.
One of the girls gets a broken arm.
And then he also attacks his own mother and father.
Oh, my God.
His own mother and father he starts beating up.
Oh, my God.
He pushed his mother, knocked her over.
He's a kid.
Jesus Christ.
Wait till you hear what he did to his dad, too, which is insane.
This is fucking nuts already.
And he's barely legal.
And it's already insane.
How are the cops not here yet, too?
Once again, not a fight yet.
No sports yet coming this.
He wrestled a little in high school.
Nothing professional yet.
And he's already a mess.
Holy shit.
And it's going to continue all the way through so anyway uh he is accused of beating as many as nine people
wow during this nine fucking people he just went around beating up everybody and doors and windows
so you figure his parents are two of them yeah so that's seven other people at the party seven
15 year old girls like how do you as a 15 yearyear-old girl see him hip-toss one and then be like, I got this one.
Line right up.
I'll get him.
Don't worry.
Like ninjas in a kung fu movie.
It's my turn to get beat up now.
I'll get in there.
And then she flies.
And then another one's like, listen, he's probably tired now.
I got him.
What 15-year-old girls are going over to his house?
Yeah.
Be like, stay the fuck away from that house.
Six foot something dude that's giant.
I've been accused of raping a 15-year-old girl.
I'd be like, I don't want to.
I'm 15.
This isn't going to work. So nine people. It's an all-day drinking party, which's giant. I've been accused of raping a 15-year-old girl. I'd be like, I don't want to. I'm 15. This isn't going to work.
So nine people.
It's an all-day drinking party, which is crazy.
Wow.
The broken arm, broken noses.
And also, too, Cody broke his, I keep wanting to call him Tyler because his brother's name is Tyler.
And I read a lot about him.
So he also broke his hand in three places.
Tyler did? Cody. Oh, Cody. Cody, yeah. No, Tyler's not involved in this. read a lot about him so uh he also broke his hand in three places tyler cody oh cody yeah no
tyler's not involved he broke his hand in three places on on doors and windows and teenage girls
holy christ and his father and his father and his father and let's get into the father thing here
valencia county sheriff uh detective aaron jones said quote, we understand he kicked his father twice and stomped him in the head while his dad was down begging for mercy.
He evidently kept stomping him.
Wow.
So, yeah.
Picture that as a parent that you're trying to beg for mercy from your own child, who's a giant monster.
Who's pummeling you with his feet.
Because I figure he's breaking shit.
The parents are like, what the fuck?
He starts hip tossing 14-year-olds.
And then the dad probably came in and went, Cody, calm the shit down.
And then he starts attacking him and he's stomping.
He's stomping his head.
You know the kind of aggression you have to have to stomp someone's head?
You know how dangerous that fucking is to stomp a head?
Fucking fracture a skull and kill somebody.
It's frightening as shit.
So somebody calls the cops, thankfully.
Cops arrive.
When they arrive, Cody isn't like standing on the front yard like with his hands up waiting to be taken into custody.
He is instead holding a knife out, not wanting to be taken.
He's got a knife now.
Begging the cops to kill him.
I picture the scene, too.
They show up.
There is 14-year-old girls lying all over the floor, moaning, holding their bloody noses,
going, oh, God.
The father's like, the parents are trying to get themselves together.
And he's in the middle with a knife.
You have to show up and go, what the fuck?
I should have taken the postal exam.
This is ridiculous.
Yeah.
I should have got a different fucking job.
This is nuts.
I should have gone to college for sure.
What is happening here?
Why am I here right now?
How did I find myself here?
Wrong civil service test I took is what happened here.
What the fuck is going on here?
What he did was he sat there at the knife for a while.
They talked to him.
And this tells you that he's a white kid in New Mexico.
Of course.
The fact that he is a-
Not shot.
Beated up a bunch of people and is threatening officers with a knife, and they're like, hey, Cody, calm down.
They're like, Cody, put the goddamn knife down.
His name is Jamal and not Cody.
I don't think-
They didn't even show up with tasers or guns out.
They're like, it's a Cody.
We're good, guys.
We're good.
Code Cody.
We're fine.
That's what they call a white kid acting a fool.
Code Cody.
Hilarious.
It's fine. They do- He told the officers kid acting a fool. Code Cody. Hilarious.
He told the officers, too, that he wanted them to kill him.
He said he wants the deputies to kill him.
Officers had to draw their weapons and not kill him, but eventually kind of get him to calm down with their weapons out. Aimed at the floor, though.
They're just like, look, Cody, it's out.
Look, Cody, guys.
The gun's out.
Look, I'm taking the clip out.
I don't want any accidents.
But listen, Cody. No magazine out. Look, Cody, guys. The gun's out. Look, I'm taking the clip out. I don't want any accidents. But listen, Cody.
No magazine.
There's nothing in the chamber.
Listen, Cody, just put the knife down.
Just put the knife down.
So then they're trying.
It's going to be fine, Cody.
Everything's going to be fine.
Get some mac and cheese.
We'll get you some cookies, Cody.
Everything's going to be good.
Get chocolate milk, Cody.
Chocolate milk.
Yeah, come on.
Someone get.
Will you get Cody chocolate milk?
Nilla wafers.
No Nilla wafers.
Cody's thirsty.
He's thirsty.
He's a peanut allergy.
Put the peanuts away.
He hates Nilla wafers.
It's Nilla.
He likes graham crackers.
Get him graham crackers.
He dips them in the milk.
What the fuck?
It's wonderful.
So yeah, he's telling them that he wanted the deputies to shoot and kill him.
Yeah.
The whole deal.
He basically goes nuts.
They have trouble subduing him also because he's a big, giant, drunken lunatic,
and he has recently started practicing cage fighting a little bit also,
so he's got a couple of moves, which is where the hip toss came from.
I don't think that's legal in amateur high school wrestling.
I don't think you can hip toss someone or jump from the top rope.
I think those are both banned at that point.
WWE and fucking MMA shit.
Both of those are banned at that point here.
East has to be, wow, I keep saying wow,
and I'm going to keep saying it over and over because it's crazy.
He has to be wheeled away from his home while handcuffed to a gurney
like Hannibal fucking Lecter.
They had to Lecter this guy.
Like I said, imagine the carnage behind him, these girls holding their noses and all that.
He's being taken away on a gurney.
Two people have to be with him.
Wow.
One to hold him and one to push the fucking gurney.
This is a scene, man.
It's crazy.
Right here.
They take him to, he's going to be placed on mental health observation at Valencia County
Jail.
Probably wise, I think.
Yeah.
You know.
It's a bit nuts.
It doesn't seem like normal behavior. That's odd. Yeah. We'll call it. Yeah. It's a bit nuts. It doesn't seem like normal behavior.
That's odd. We'll call it
aberrant. It's aberrant behavior.
Not great. Reckless. Reckless.
His parents here, also
his mom, Dolly,
and the husband, Terry, here,
the mother and father, may also be
facing charges, including providing
alcohol to minors. Yeah, contributing to
delinquency. Fuck else would you get booze at 9 o'clock on a Tuesday morning while your parents are
home?
And what the fuck are they doing home at 9 o'clock on a Tuesday morning?
Yeah, get to work, fuckers.
Go do some.
One of you go to work.
Maybe Terry was at work and then he came home.
We'll see.
Police say that Dolly, this is the other thing.
She didn't just go out and was like, here, I got you guys two cases of beer.
Leave me alone.
thing she didn't just go out and was like here i got you guys two cases of beer you know leave me alone dolly the mother took several of the girl girls with her to the store to pick out the
alcohol for the party do ladies like let's come up alcohol run guys how pathetic are these fucking
parents get you something you guys don't like so come with me how pathetic are these parents that
they need to how do they not have any friends they need so much
that appreciation yeah and we've all been there too we all know that family that was like
they the parents are too hangout with the kids and you it was all kind of loosey-goosey over
there the worst everyone's allowed to smoke in the house yeah and people are like they're like
teenagers drink and you're like those kids it never works out well for them ever they are doing roofing yeah
in a hot climate in 10 years within every time you're doing fucking roofing never ends and i'm
sorry if you're a roofer but you know that job sucks it wasn't your first pick no if you had
any ambition you would fucking move indoors at least put it that way any ambition any ambition
just something to get off the fucking roof because you won't even make more working inside.
You might make more on the roof.
You just won't have skin cancer.
Not only that, you won't be covered in tar all the time.
You're not going to be covered in tar.
What is wrong with you?
Don't know where that came from.
At least be able to bang your wife when you get home without taking a shower.
Yeah.
The first thing you do when you walk in the door, she's like, shower.
Hold on.
I've got to scrape tar off of me.
Hold on one second here.
Now, so she does that.
And apparently Terry, the father, also Cody's middle name here, Terry.
At least they didn't make him a junior.
They could have really ruined his life.
Yeah.
But they instead just acted like assholes.
At least they saved his life by giving him Cody.
That's true.
He would for sure be dead if it was anything else.
No, if his name was Tyrone, he'd be dead as fuck right now.
Dead as shit.
They would have been like, there's a Tyrone.
Everybody get the shotguns.
Even Tyrell.
It's an old cowboy named Tyrell.
But they would show up and be like, Tyrell, just in case.
That sounds black.
Lock and loaded, boys.
You see a knife.
He could be light-skinned and hit him.
You never know now.
You never know.
Luckily for Cody, he's excessively white.
Really, really white and bald.
With a crew cut.
Yeah.
So Terry East, the father, apparently allegedly served liquor to several girls at the party.
Of course.
He was going around like making drinks for them.
Fucking sure.
So they're like, you host a party.
We'll go out, get booze.
I'll go around and serve.
Like, what the fuck is going on?
I will fuck a parent up for getting my daughter drunk.
This is ridiculous, man.
I'll ruin you.
And that's the thing.
They're not 18, 19-year-old girls. No.
They're 14, 15-year-old high school girls.
These parents should have been like, hey, Tyler,
guess what, dickhead? You're 18 years
old. Get a fucking job.
Get out of the fucking house. Find a place to go
for college since you've been acquitted of this horse shit.
You mean Cody. Cody.
Yeah, so I call him Tyler again.
I was like, wait, what did Tyler do now? Listen,
Cody, you Tyler impersonating cocksucker.
You get your shit together.
You get out there.
You get a fucking job.
Do something with yourself.
Go to college.
Stop hanging.
You realize you were accused of raping a 15-year-old girl.
You know how you could not be accused of raping more?
By not hanging out with 15-year-old girls.
Stay the fuck away from 15-year-old girls.
Wednesday, July.
Also, who's cool when they hang out with a 15-year-old when they're 15 or 18?
Nobody.
That's disgusting.
I don't know what he was thinking.
He just wanted girls that looked up to him, apparently.
It's easier the younger they are, probably.
The older ones are like, you're an asshole.
They've gotten to that point already where they're like, I don't think...
I'm a scumbag.
Fuck you, dude.
Didn't you try to fuck a 15-year-old?
Yeah, didn't you several times?
Weren't you accused of that?
Was there a dresser involved?
So the next day, July 25th of 2007, Cody is released from the 72-hour mental evaluation
hall.
I guess they figure out that he's not a danger to himself or others.
He was just drunk and acting a fool.
He's booked into the Valencia County Detention Center that day.
Yeah.
Also, August 1st, a week later, 2007, Terry and Dolly, his parents, are arrested for their part in the alcohol.
So good for them.
They get fucking arrested.
They charged that they served and bought alcohol for the teenagers and let them do whatever they wanted and it didn't matter.
Now, August 15th, a grand jury charges his parents.
They indict him on charges of giving or selling liquor to minors, child abuse, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
They plead not guilty to the charges, but they both remain in custody on $50,000 cash bonds they can't get at the moment.
Now, Cody, Cody, for his part, scheduled to appear for arraignment before District Judge John Pope, his old buddy again, while Dolly is going to be arraigned later on in the week.
Isn't that cute?
The family that gets arraigned together stays together.
Isn't that nice?
What a week for that judge, too. Everybody, come on.
Can we get a picture?
Can someone take a picture of all of us?
Because you don't get arraigned in the same week a lot.
Everybody, come on.
Get in here, Cody.
The last time we did a picture like this...
Terry, you'll be arrested, sir. Tyler, you'll be
arrested soon. Come on in, pal. The last time we did
a picture like this, it was at one of those old
West towns. Remember when you were behind the bars and stuff?
This is for real. This is the good one.
Let's all get back there. Come on, guys.
This commemoration is... Can you make it look
really old? Can I get a cowboy hat?
Can you do a filter where it looks really old?
Can you sepia it up a little bit?
Hilarious.
Is there a wanted that you can put over the top?
Just something.
Cody's charges.
He pleads not guilty to charges of aggravated battery, child abuse contributing to the delinquency of a minor,
aggravated battery on a household member or his dad,
also charged with another aggravated battery count in connection with a completely separate incident, which we'll talk about.
Another asshole incident that he did.
He's a menace, this fucking guy.
And he's probably going to kill us.
So this is one of those frightening ones where I'm like, God, I hope he never is in town with me.
And I'm staying the fuck away from New Mexico.
Because this guy's crazy.
And his brother.
They're going to kill us both.
That's the thing.
And as dad's sitting in jail right now, he's going, if he wouldn't have freaked the fuck out, everything would be fine.
Everything's fine.
He can't handle his booze.
Can't handle it.
Can't handle his booze.
That's the problem.
What an asshole.
We raised him poorly.
Now, December of 2007, December 20th, he is still in jail, Cody, by the way.
Sweet Pete.
From July.
Wow.
Still away.
They don't want to let him out.
Six months.
Yeah.
He petitions a court to lower the bond or be released with electronic monitoring, something like that.
His parents are there, which I'd be like, I don't need your help, guys.
Your fuck up's enough here.
They were there free on bond to see his whole thing here.
District Judge John Pope again.
The Pope is deciding.
This John Pope.
Black smoke coming out of his chamber when he's done.
You know he goes home and tells his wife everything.
Can you believe this fucking family?
This asshole, boy.
These East assholes.
This whole family is fucking, they suck so bad.
I'm keeping an eye on the little brother, too.
I don't trust him.
I know he got hit in the head with a wrench, but still.
Pope says, I don't think so, asshole.
Does not lower bond or release on electronic monitoring,
saying he needs more information, particularly on Cody's mental state.
He's like, I'd like him to be fully evaluated before I start letting him out walking around the streets.
He said he might be open to changing Cody's conditions of release at some point in the future,
but for now, take a seat, asshole.
Let's calm down here.
Let's have a nice time out.
Yeah. Now, they do nice time out. Yeah.
Now, they do let him out here very soon, and
they let him out in time for
early 2008 for him to get
arrested, again, for
beating up a friend of his at a big
drinking party in Tome Hill.
This is crazy. So he's just...
Stop drinking! Why is he even touching
booze? Why does anyone want to hang out with this fucking guy?
Yeah, how does he have friends?
That's the thing.
Yeah, like, don't drink with Cody.
Jesus, he's dangerous.
He'll hip toss you.
You usually make friends at that age by drinking with them.
How do you drink with a guy and be like, this is definitely somebody I want to hang out with?
Yeah, he's cool, dude.
Cody's a cool guy.
What a fucking menace.
He's a psycho.
Early April 2008, Dolly, East, his mother, pleads no contest to two fourth-degree felony counts of giving alcohol or selling alcohol to minors
and several counts, including three counts of child abuse that they dismissed as part of the agreement.
So she just pleads no contest to the fourth-degree felony counts of giving or selling alcohol to minors.
So, yeah, now she's got a felony on her record.
felony counts of giving or selling alcohol to minors.
So, yeah, now she's got a felony on her record.
Now, April 18th, 2008, he has been, this is a mountain of shit so far,
and he's still in the shit.
And now he's, like I said, got arrested again for the drinking party.
He's free on $100,000 bond and awaiting trial on assault charges here for the whole July incident with the tip-tossing young girls.
But it doesn't matter because Alberto Leon, who's the chairman of the New Mexico Athletic Commission,
said that Cody's license application for MMA fighting in the state was approved unanimously at their April meeting.
More than one person.
Unanimously.
He said, quote, there were some discussions held in an executive session because they pertain to attorney-client privilege.
But as far as the discussion that took place in the public meeting, there were no reservations.
East was admonished, as all of our licensees are, to comply with our rules.
Just, you know, it's cool if you –
Don't do it again.
Don't do it again.
Oh, if you get convicted, whatever.
This is just like we've convened
a panel of silver-haired middle-aged white men.
Unanimous. No one disagreed
either.
He said that he has not been
convicted of a crime, so he has no
grounds to deny him a license, which makes
sense, but you think you'd be able to say, let's see
how that assault case works out, and then we'll talk
about a license. Hey, guys, he's been in jail
a lot. He's been in courtrooms a lot. talk about a license. Hey, guys, he's been in jail a lot.
He's been in courtrooms a lot.
How about where there's smoke, there's fire?
Maybe.
Maybe we don't need him.
I mean, the Bill Cosby thing, after like six or seven girls, you're just like, eh, they all have the same story.
Yeah.
This Leon said, quote, the guiding principle was twofold.
Number one, the limitations under our rules as to the things we can take into account in granting a license.
Number two, the fact that East has not been proven guilty or convicted of any crime whatsoever.
He said his manager, Tom Vaughn, who's Cody's fighting manager here, says that he is, quote, championship material in the octagon.
So, look.
In beer pong octagon?
Jesus.
Silver, baby.
I'm going to get you out of trouble.
And he also says that Cody's behavior outside of the ring has been exemplary in the three
months they've worked together.
He hasn't gotten arrested for literally three months.
And he's like, he's been fantastic.
You guys, he broke his hand in three places and still knocked his dad out.
Come on. This is championship material. Yeah, no shit. He's a fantastic. You guys, he broke his hand in three places and still knocked his dad out. Come on.
This is championship material.
Yeah, no shit.
He's a fucking warrior.
He can do it.
Vaughn continued, quote, he's a great athlete, but it's not worth it to me if he's not going to show character as well.
This guy's showing character.
He says, quote, I don't want to give the impression that I don't care about what he did because I do, but he's 19 years old.
And so it's kind of a slippery slope when you start condemning someone for life at 19.
I don't want to give the idea that I don't care, but I fucking don't.
I think he's championship material.
So that's really what's important here.
There's so many I don't want to be racist, but statements going on.
This is ridiculous.
Leon, the head of the board that gave him the license, said, quote, he was very articulate
and everything went smoothly.
Vaughn is the coach. He says, quote,
Vaughn is a highly respected and regarded manager
and trainer in that discipline, and that was also
very important to us. So he's got himself a
nice silver, literally a silver-haired, middle-aged
white man came in and said, he's with
me now, and he's good now.
And they said, he's good now, okay.
We gave him a silver gavel,
came out, and bang, bang.
No more 15-year-old girls.
No more.
We got him.
So he's doing so well.
He's so good now that on May 31, 2008, he is fighting his first fight at the UTE Mountain Casino in Towayock, Colorado.
Towayock?
How the fuck do you say that?
How do you spell it?
T-O-W-A-O-C.
Towack.
Towack, Colorado.
How the fuck do you say that? How do you spell it?
T-O-W-A-O-C.
TOWAC.
TOWAC, Colorado.
It is at King of the Cage.
We've talked about this company several times.
This particular show is called Smashing Machine.
Oh, boy.
Which sounds like it's translated from Russian.
It sounds like robot wars.
You know, the bot wars.
Exactly, yeah.
He's fighting Blair Silversmith.
He's a pussy because his name's Blair.
Blair.
Well, you know what, too?
And let's dispel any drama to this fight, whatever.
Blair's career record turns out to be 0-1, so we know what happened in this fight.
Probably because he loses this fight by knockout with punches in 56 seconds of round one.
Jesus.
This isn't for me.
Blair is like, I made a huge mistake.
I fucked up bad here.
Just a giant.
How dare I think this was my career.
Giant miscalculation.
I've got other shit to do here.
I'm going to go.
Hey, Cody, does your dad need more help on the construction site?
Because I'll do roofing.
I don't give a shit.
I can turn a wrench.
Jesus Christ.
So July 2nd, 2008, a couple months later, his trial begins.
There's a testimony from a neighbor of these teenage girls who were at the party, and they testified as to what happened.
Neighbors, some of the teenage girls, everybody's testifying.
They all testify to the fracas and the melee that we have talked about.
Finally, on July 3rd, 2008, there's a verdict on this whole thing.
The jury returns its verdict at 730 at night, so they stayed for the day, four hours of deliberation.
All-day event.
All-day event.
This jury finds Cody guilty of child abuse, but acquits him on battery counts of his dad.
Because I have a feeling his dad said, no, no, no, it's fine.
Drop the charges?
Well, it wasn't up to his dad.
But I feel like his dad could go up there and go, that part wasn't true.
What's the jury going to do?
But the child abuse, he's guilty on that.
They found him not guilty of the battery, one count of aggravated battery on a household member,
and deadlocked on one charge of aggravated battery with great bodily harm, which that'll get retried.
We'll talk about that charge.
He, like I said, he faces a maximum of 10 years in prison on sentencing for this.
That's so deep.
And he just started fighting.
Yeah, one fight he's had.
He beat the shit out of a guy, retired him.
Retired a guy right away. He's ended a guy's career.
Ended it. Sentencing date not set
yet. It'll happen. The judge sets a
$100,000 bond until sentencing
with two conditions.
Cody is not to contact any trial
witnesses and don't break any other
fucking laws, you idiot.
Stay away from 15-year-olds.
Later that night, that same exact night, Cody's at a house party in Albuquerque.
Jesus, what the fuck?
Drinking it up.
What are you celebrating, asshole?
Drinking it up.
First of all, you're breaking one law as you're underage right away.
You're drinking.
You shouldn't be at a house party.
You fucking know better.
Complete idiot.
There's 15-year-olds everywhere.
Everywhere.
house party you fucking know better complete idiot 15 year olds everywhere everywhere at this house party it's on uh genero southwest and in albuquerque that's the street uh he is stabbed at this house
party holy shit he gets in some kind of fracas with somebody in his stab nothing serious but
he's stabbed to my a couple of two minor stab wounds he has at this party. That's that night. Wild.
July 11th, 2008, the district attorney Lemuel Martinez wants his bond revoked because of
this whole thing.
He said he's calling Cody a danger to society and saying he should be locked up.
And he says just the reports of the booze should block him, get him locked up.
He's not supposed to be doing that.
You said obey all laws.
He's not obeying that law.
So, no.
We're still in July.
His father in July, Terry, pleads no contest to one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
And he is placed on 18 months probation, his father, Terry.
If he completes probation, it's a felony.
If he completes the probation without any incident, it'll be expunged from his record.
So Terry can be fined there, the father.
Now, July 17, 2008, Cody ordered back to jail.
He's the gift that keeps on giving this guy, I swear to God.
He goes back to jail after violating conditions of his release by drinking at a pair of parties.
Because there was another party that we'll talk about here.
Officers from the probation and parole and the Albuquerque Police Department told Judge Pope.
Judge Pope is ruling over this again.
Is he the only judge in Albuquerque?
That's it.
He's just the judge, buddy. They told this judge Pope that East Cody admitted to drinking at least on two occasions, including the Albuquerque night in Albuquerque, where he and his brother Tyler were hanging out.
No wrenches involved, but they were drinking a shitload of beer and shots of hard liquor.
Fuck.
Don't give this guy liquor.
No.
This is like keep the tequila away from this guy.
No booze.
No beer.
Nothing.
Yeah, this is crazy.
This is like keep the tequila away from this guy.
No beer, nothing.
Yeah, this is crazy.
Also, too, part of the revocation was the police reported that he'd been stabbed while drinking at the party that we talked about.
You've ever been stabbed?
Yes.
I have a stab wound scar on my back where I got hit with one.
That is the – I blew up my hand before.
I've had so much traumatic experience.
That is the most – I know. That's the most white trash. I've had so much traumatic experience. That is the most.
I know that's the most white trash statement I've ever said.
But I got stabbed in the back once.
And that is the most panicked I've ever been.
Because you see movies and stuff where there's so much stuff exposed right there. There's no rib cage right there.
And I got hit in the back.
And I've never panicked more.
There's blood running down my back.
And I think I'm dying. And he got stabbed twice. I feel like he wasn never panicked more. There's blood running down my back, and I think I'm dying.
And he got stabbed twice.
I feel like he wasn't panicking, though.
He was probably quite drunk.
He was probably angry and hip-tossed somebody.
He was just like, I'll kill that guy.
I'm going to kill that guy.
He just hip-tossed a woman in response to it.
It was fucking terrifying to be stabbed.
Yeah.
Well, July, speaking of terrifying, his mom Dolly's in court here on July 23, 2008.
And another judge here, William Sanchez,
imposes a sentence
of three years probation for her.
Yeah, this is, wow.
Well, because she took him
to the store to buy it.
Yeah, but we'll get into his sentence
in a second here.
But the judge said that if he could have,
he would have given her
the same sentence as the son.
Like, you were just as fucking responsible.
Oh, shit.
That's what he said.
If that was possible, I would do it.
Now, October 22nd, 2008, a couple months later, now we have a trial for, Jesus Christ, remember
I said he had an unrelated charge of assault?
Well, here it is.
He's on trial for breaking the ankle of a friend of his at a drinking party on purpose.
How do you break an ankle on purpose? Snapped it while he was the victim. This guy, his at a drinking party on purpose. How do you break an ankle on purpose?
Snapped it while he was the victim.
This guy, his name is Ramon Sanchez.
He testifies.
This is a two-day trial.
This is a big party.
There's like 40 kids drinking at a party here.
And he testifies, the alleged victim here, that as it was going on late in the evening,
as things tend to do as people get drunker, a bunch of people began to fight.
A whole bunch of people.
A little melee breaks out, as sometimes happens at drinking parties.
And he tried to break up this fight between two girls.
So Sanchez is trying to calm Cody down.
Cody is arguing.
There's two girls that are fighting.
Cody's in the middle of this whole shit.
So Sanchez comes over.
Always with the fucking girls.
Always with the girls.
I don't understand it.
He doesn't fight a lot of men here except in the ring.
Out of the ring, I'm women only, pal.
Oh, fuck.
15 and under.
That's it.
So as Sanchez, Ramon Sanchez, tries to come over and break it up, he says Cody completely
attacked him and got him on the ground and put him in some kind of move because he's
been doing MMA and snapped his fucking ankle.
Unbelievable.
Like a lunatic.
He didn't tap.
He didn't tap.
No, he didn't tap fast enough.
The jury deliberates for an hour before returning their verdict.
So that's just paperwork.
He is convicted on one count of misdemeanor battery in connection with the ankle breaking.
Misdemeanor?
Misdemeanor.
Misdemeanor.
He's found guilty of another count of misdemeanor battery, but he was acquitted of the felony
aggravated battery and child abuse charges.
So lucky.
How lucky can you fucking get with this kid?
That jury loved him.
He should be in prison six times over already, and they just keep letting him go.
He could spend a year in jail for this when he's awaiting sentencing, because he's still
awaiting the other sentencing, too. He's got a couple of convictions hanging over him wow uh november 6 2008 let's
have a retrial why don't we from that last acquittal or the last deadlocked uh he has a
retrial for aggravated battery with great bodily harm this is for the drinking party this is one
of the girls this is the broken arm girl one of the hip tosses. Her name is Sally Apodaca. Her
arm was broken. She told police and the court
that Cody invited
her over and they drank all day
and then once these
girls started arguing, he became angry
and just started going off on everybody.
Drinking all day? All day. What's going on
in Albuquerque? I have no clue.
Fucking get it together, New Mexico. How do you drink
all day in your teenage
years and give it to the give liquor to children yeah at some point pass out would you what the
fuck no 15 year old girls going strong all day go hard yeah for sure apparently sally tried to
get in the middle of it and uh you know say calm down do your thing. And he threw her to the ground and broke her arm for her troubles.
Yeah.
They showed the x-rays to the jurors and all that sort of thing.
And so the jury comes back and they acquit him of one count of aggravated battery with great bodily harm for breaking the arm.
Broke somebody's arm.
How I don't know.
A bunch of witnesses saw it.
She said it.
There's x-rays.
And they go, nah.
Not him.
Could have happened at another point. Not that guy. Yeah. There was and they go, nah. Not him. Could have happened at another point.
Not that guy.
Yeah.
There was a kind of a fracas, so it could have happened at another point.
Probably caused by him.
I can't imagine it was him.
Wow.
Jesus.
Unreal.
So December 19th, 2008, is sentencing for a bunch of this shit.
He apologizes to the court, and he apologizes to the people he's hurt.
He admitted he's had an alcohol problem for years
and that's his main issue.
District judge, our buddy John Pope
here. He's back.
Johnny Pope is back. Where the fuck?
And you know what?
In his defense. He should take Cody out for
ice cream at this point. They've had like this
mentor relationship.
I've known him since he was just a kid.
In his defense, maybe they're just like,
you know what, you're going to be that guy's fucking
judge forever because he's just going to come back.
Just stick with him, okay? We'll just keep giving him to
Pope. Pope will handle it. Pope knows what
he's doing. Pope's got it. Pope's got him covered.
So, District
Judge John Pope sentences Cody
to nine years in prison.
Holy shit. You, sir, may
fuck off.
For sure.
That's a good one.
But he suspends all but three.
What?
Six of it suspended in case he fucks up again.
He can tack more on.
Oh, my God.
You know, whatever.
So he sentences him basically to three years in jail.
So that's like a just in case you fuck up, we can keep society safe, but I just gave you a sentence that I could keep society
fucking safe.
Ridiculous. Also, too,
Cody's already served more than
eight months in jail, which will be counted toward that.
So he's got a little over
two years to do here.
Not bad. He's been rolling the dice for a while
here. He's been hitting sevens
all the time. He finally fucked up.
That's not too bad here. Finally with the snake eyes. Jesus. Finally. So he goes to jail. He's been hitting sevens all the time. He finally fucked up. I mean, that's not too bad here.
Finally with the snake eyes. Jesus. Finally.
So he goes to jail. He stays there.
This is in 2008. He is
in jail until January
2010.
By the way, what's he had? One fight?
One fucking fight. I mean,
unless you count the seven 15 year old girls.
He's had a lot of fights.
Once he's actually been paid for or actually
account for something. Rewarded for.
Cody is given
probation and parole supervision
in Albuquerque so he's let out
for that on probation
on parole. August
2010. So he's
out. January 2010 he's out.
Free man. Do your thing.
He's on probation and parole but he's out yeah free man do your thing uh he's not he's on probation and parole
but he's still like there so august 2010 you'd imagine he's going to stay on the straight and
narrow and be fine uh eight months later no he is arrested and charged with probation and parole
violations for pending charges including assault on a household member and criminal damage uh to
property of a household member his family's family's not safe, who the fuck is?
Domestic fucking violence here.
And this is with a woman, I'm pretty sure.
This is with a girlfriend.
This is not his family family.
He pleads not guilty to both charges.
Eventually, the state decides not to proceed with the prosecution.
She might have dropped.
She might have said, I'm not cooperating anymore, which happens in a lot of domestic violence.
What in the fuck?
Yeah.
So, but it's okay because his parole is revoked and they shit cannon back to jail for a little while.
Just for having the problem.
Let's calm down.
Yeah, you shouldn't have any issues.
You should be the most upstanding son of a bitch on earth.
Any opportunity for gray area, nothing blurry.
You should be doing fantastic.
Crystal clear.
Crystal clear. Fantastic. Sorry. Every day is better than yesterday. for gray area nothing blurry doing fantastic crystal clear crystal clear fantastic sorry
every day is better than yesterday fucking celebrate life every day uh so december 2010
graham crackers so many december 2010 couple months later he's released again under new
supervision uh and uh the new charges are the violations of parole and probation are dismissed.
October 2011, his parole expires, but probation status will continue on for a few more years.
But parole expires.
He's ready to go.
He can, like, leave the state and shit like that.
He can go all the way to Lubbock, Texas.
Oh, boy.
On November 11, 2011.
Jesus, what a reward.
The garden center of America.
November 11, 2011 for SF21, which stands for Shark Fights 21.
Jesus.
Which is a stupid shit name for an MMA card.
He hasn't fought in anything that sounds great yet.
No, no.
He won't for a while.
All right.
This is at the Fair Park Coliseum in Lubbock, Texas, which sounds terrible. The main event
on this show is actually Bobby Lashley
versus a guy named Carl Noth.
Bobby Lashley was a popular
wrestler. They went to MMA. For people that
are out of the country, Lubbock,
Texas is historically known as
a shithole. Oh, it's a dump. Sorry,
Texas, but Lubbock sucks. It's so shitty
that country singers sing about it as
like a shit gig.
Yeah.
My life was on the skids.
I was living in Lubbock, Texas.
Like, that's the shit.
Lubbock and Amarillo could fight to the death for shittiest town.
Isn't Lubbock where Neil Diamond was and the jazz singer where they went and found him
singing in a little bar with a huge cowboy hat on after he disappeared from L.A.?
All right?
They love him rocks.
Nothing, nothing.
You can say the word Lubbock describing anything.
You can.
It doesn't sound good.
And I'll just assume it's shit.
God.
Would you like a Lubbock beer?
A Lubbock's beer?
No, I would not.
No, I don't want anything from Lubbock, thank you.
That's very cheap, I'm sure.
No.
On this card, Cody fights Aidan Eelson Clementino.
Yeah. He's a big guy, 6'7", 261 pound, big son of a bitch.
6-5 career record for Clementino.
Cody wins with a TKO with punches in a minute 45 of round one.
He's a punching motherfucker.
He's a punching dude.
It's odd because he comes from a wrestling background, but he really gets into it.
Except for when he fights his dad.
Except for when he fights his dad. Except for when he fights his dad.
But he throws punches a lot, and most of his wins come from punches, and I watched him.
He's a good striker.
He's got a good hard punch, you can tell.
He can throw.
Now, February 11, 2012, Jesus, this fucking guy, man.
Probation and parole officers conduct a home visit to Cody's address and discover that he is not
residing there, even though he says he's residing there in the court documents and he needs
to be residing where he says he is for this whole thing.
So February 13th, 2012.
In addition to this, there's also several other instances of that are documented where
he wasn't staying at his approved address or So he's ordered to appear in court.
His mistakes are so dumb.
They're so dumb.
They're so dumb.
He's told to come to probation and parole office on the Monday after that
where he's placed under arrest and taken back to jail where he fucking belongs.
Where we'll know where you live.
Where we will know where the fuck you live.
He serves a grand total of three days in jail from that.
So he's going, but he's sitting there in jail.
And I don't know, do you, would you even process this if you're him?
That's the thing.
I mean, he hasn't processed anything yet.
Is it just in and out?
Is it like being drunk and just kind of, you're just floating by, like you fall down, you get up, you don't notice your legs bleeding.
Like, is that what it is?
I can't figure for the life of me.
His whole life, just a weird alcohol haze.
He's dumb.
He's very dumb and dense, and he doesn't absorb what normal people absorb.
No.
At all.
That's the thing.
He's just sitting in fucking, sitting in jail like an asshole constantly.
Constantly.
In this gray cell.
Staring at a brick wall.
Yeah.
Trying to gather.
How did I get here?
What the fuck did I do here?
What am I here for?
It's weird, too.
And then the one day, like, the door opens.
He thinks it's a new cellmate.
And it's Dexter Manley, interior decorator from New York City.
And he says.
How is it you've come to arrive here?
Why are you here?
What are you doing?
You've got parents.
They take care of you, but it don't matter to you.
You're hip-tossing girls all over the place.
Why?
You want to hip-toss somebody, darling?
You come hip-toss me, big guy, because I'll tell you why I could take a hip-toss now.
Not like these little 15-year-old girls.
You come see Dexter Manley if you want somebody that could take something, if you know what
I mean.
By the way, we need to fix this up.
It's very drab in here.
It's very drab.
I need to fix.
I need to get some.
If we could put a drape on.
I got to go.
Never mind.
I'm sorry.
And poof, and a puff of glitter and purple smoke.
He's gone.
Before you can call him a fag.
Yeah, Cody was just a bit hit that he was like.
What are you doing here?
Where'd you go?
See, that's the thing.
And Cody was pissed too because he's like, I like calling people gay.
This is what I do.
I'm a meathead and I call people gay and I make fun of gays.
So I really wanted to make fun of that guy even though he wasn't specifically explicit
about his sexual orientation.
I'm pretty sure he might be gay.
I don't know.
He told me he'd take it.
He told me he'd take it.
I don't know if he meant a hip toss.
He's very ambiguous, this guy.
I don't understand it.
That's how Dexter Manley gets through life.
You don't know about Dexter Manley.
You don't know what he does with his life.
Maybe he's straight.
Maybe he's gay.
Maybe it's none of your goddamn business.
That's what it is.
That's right, man.
Dexter Manley's his own man.
Don't fuck with him.
So March 10, 2012. He's out of the po That's right, man. Dexter Manley's his own man. Don't fuck with him. So March 10th, 2012.
He's out of the pokey here, appropriately named.
He's out of the pokey.
He's fighting at King of the Ring, King of the Cage.
The breakthrough is the event at the River Spirit Event Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where dreams come true.
You betcha.
He fights Jeff Karaman, who is a big guy 66 250 an oh and two career
record for him so they are lining up the pros for him this is his first fight jeff carriman uh
cody wins by submission with an r an arm triangle choke which i don't know is that a triangle
an arm triangle how do you okay never mind i'm not into it. At 252 in round three. It's a weird name of a move.
I don't like it. So. Like that,
James. It's a triangle. Oh, with
your arm, not with their arm. Gotcha.
So it's a fucking. It's a triangle arm. So it's
a chin lock? Right. You're fucking putting someone
in a sleeper hold. Sorry,
MMA. You're putting someone in a Hulk
Hogan sleeper hold. You can fucking
goddamn call it. You're using
Adrian Adonis' finishing move.
Do you understand that?
That's not fair.
Only 80s wrestling fans will get that.
Anyway, Gorilla Monsoon would get very excited.
Oh, there it is.
Okay, so he's fighting this idiot.
He submits him in round three, so it takes a while.
252 in round three.
That was on March 10th. very next month, April 14th.
We have King of the Cage, Bad Intentions 2.
It's at the Windstar World Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma.
You betcha.
Where anything good happens, really.
That's where it all happens, in Thackerville, Oklahoma.
Thackerville is the Midwest New York City.
I was going to say, I believe they call it the Sunset Strip of the Midwest, I believe,
of the Bible Belt.
It's very Fifth Avenue.
Definitely.
It's so cosmopolitan.
This is such an amazingly prestigious event that Cody's already in a main event here.
Holy shit.
Against a guy named Tony Lopez, who's 55 and 25.
I thought you were going to say who is 15.
No, no.
He's 15 years old.
He's a girl, and he's you were going to say who is 15. No, he's 15 years old.
He's a girl, and he's been drinking heavily since 9 a.m.
Cody hip-tossed him twice.
He was arrested by the cops, and the fight's over.
Hilarious.
They called it a no contest.
Tony Lopez is 55 and 25 career.
He's a big guy, 6'5", 243.
Cody actually loses this fight.
1 minute, 16 seconds in round three with a TKO of punches.
It stopped.
That's his first loss.
He has a daughter in 2012, which obviously this guy needs a daughter.
I want to give him control of fragile young lives, especially female. You can call her Cody.
Is this a junior?
Yeah.
Well, if he had a son, he'd end up being a fucking rapist probably anyway.
So it's probably better it's a daughter.
Less likely to murder people.
Yeah, you know, this may soften him right up.
When he goes to throw a punch at a girl, he sees his daughter's face.
You want to find out?
Let's find out.
Let's find out in a little while what he does.
It's coming.
Don't worry.
You want to find out what happens?
That's the greatest part.
We'll know it by the end of this.
We're going to know.
September 21st,
2012 at King of the Ring Heavy Duty.
It's at the River Spirit Casino in
Tulsa. He fights Kenny
Spotwood, who's a 6 foot
tall, 226 pound guy.
That's a little dude fighting him.
He's a big guy to be fighting.
100 and how much? He's 226.
He's only 6 foot tall, too.
He's a midget. He's got 40 pounds and 4 too. So he's got a lot. He's got, you know.
He's a midget.
He's got 40 pounds and four inches on him. So that's a lot in the fight game.
This guy is three and two career for Spotwood is.
Cody wins by submission with a rear naked choke in 115 of round one.
So pretty much as soon as he could get his hands on him, he choked him out and that was that.
So there's an interview in 2012 here where, you here where they're talking to him about his violence.
And the question is, coming from that wrestling background, how much fun was it when you finally got to put your hands on someone?
Shockingly, his answer wasn't, well, this wasn't the first time I put my hands on someone.
I have hip-tossed young girls for years now.
I'm very, very prolific at it. What are you telling me about this alleged
rape that happened? Let me tell you.
But let's find out
what he actually said in their own
words. Quote,
at first I would just take people down and I would
forget you could punch him. And then my coach
would be screaming at me, punch him, punch him.
So I started punching him. Started
adding more and more and got my boxing
coach and my kickboxing
coach so now i'm pretty well rounded how do you train to fight and then as soon as you get in the
ring forget that you get that you're allowed to punch forget how to fight this actual that's why
you train crazy the fuck that's like muhammad ali walking in there and being starting just
insulting people and they're like no no you can punch him you can i can't shit oh this is great
this is i thought just had to talk shit
and make him leave voluntarily.
I thought I was just going to call him fat and tell him he's ugly.
I thought I was trying to embarrass him. I thought that was the deal here.
December 8, 2012.
King of the Cage unification.
River Spirit Casino in Tulsa.
He fights Clementino again. Same guy.
Cody, same result. Wins with
punches. TKO at
1 minute 45 seconds of round one.
It's a terribly named fight, by the way.
That's the opposite of what you want to do.
Unification.
You want to knock somebody out and fucking.
I think it was of titles.
Oh, okay.
Unifying titles.
Oh, I got you.
That sort of thing.
Yeah, unification.
Like, they're going to come together and find some common ground and sing Kumbaya after they
punch each other's faces off.
They're going to solve some political differences, maybe some racial divide.
They're going to get this country together.
We'll see.
Through punching each other in the fucking face.
I think if anyone can do it, it's Cody.
January 19, 2013 at the Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale.
Oh, what?
Which is barely in Scottsdale.
The Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale.
That's on the fucking Indian Reservation.
It's technically Scottsdale.
That's how they listed it here.
It's King of the Cage Regulators.
He fights Lola Heya Mahahi.
Lola?
Lolo Heya Mahahi.
Okay.
Lolo Heya Mahahi.
I assume he is a short black man from East Coast City, I'm going to say.
Probably not.
He is definitely an island person.
This guy is 6'2 and 1 coming into the fight.
He's actually still fighting Lil La Haya.
He's 10'4 and 1 currently.
All right.
Cody wins in three minutes and one second of round one with a TKO with punches.
So he's feeling good about his punching ability.
He's feeling cocky.
So what's he do on March 23, 2013?
He takes a crack at boxing.
Get out of MMA.
Straight boxing.
Fights at the Sunset Station in San Antonio.
He fights Angelo Gutierrez, who's 2-1.
Cody wins it with a first-round knockout.
It is Gutierrez's last fight.
He wins two, loses to Cody, retires.
I'm done.
He's retired several people here.
Big right uppercut knocks him on his ass.
It looked outmatched the guy. He's a legit fighter. He's retired several people here. Big right uppercut knocks him on his ass. I mean, it was just, it looked outmatched the guy.
He's a legit fighter.
He can punch.
He'll punch the shit out of you, Cody East.
No, he's a tough son of a bitch.
May 25th, 2013, more boxing at the Pueblo Convention Center.
He fights Joey Montoya, 9, 5, and 3 lifetime.
Wins TKO very, very early again.
Pueblo Colorado or like some Pueblo in Texas.
I think this is actually New Mexico.
Oh, okay.
The Pueblo Convention Center.
I think it's a city in New Mexico for some reason.
June 22nd, 2013, King of the Cage again.
He's back in the cage.
Yeah.
He's done boxing for right this minute.
It's King of the Cage, East versus West.
It's the Sunshine Theater in Albuquerque.
Could he fight Kanye West? I wish. God, that'd be great. Wouldn't that be fun? East versus West. It's the Sunshine Theater in Albuquerque. Would you play Kanye West?
I wish. God, that'd be great.
Wouldn't that be fun? East versus West? That'd be brilliant.
I would love that. That'd be amazing.
This guy just drunkenly pummeling
Kanye West while Kanye tries to tell
Cody how wonderful Kanye is.
That'd be amazing. Listen, you don't want to be
hitting me because my face is beautiful.
Let me tell you about Beyonce. She's
amazing. She's amazing. Cody's in the main event against nick uh rossborough uh this guy i want to see beat
because he his self-given nickname which we always love those is quote the slim shady of mma you go
fuck yourself he's a big fat 65 265 pound fuck with a 26-and-20-and-1 career record. There's nothing slim about you.
Forget about Shady.
Nothing.
What the fuck?
You provide shade, so that's what you do for Shady.
You're fat Shady.
Fat Shady.
You're fat Shady.
Fat Shady.
For when it's sun out, you asshole.
This fight goes the distance.
Five rounds.
Cody wins by unanimous decision, and it gets him attention here.
He's in the—there's a big article, the MMA Suns 2014 Prospect Highlights.
So they're highlighting the next prospects for the big year.
The number nine heavyweight is Cody.
They say about him, Cody can be super aggressive on his feet,
especially early on in a fight.
Often his punches come from his hips,
so his punching technique would not be defined as crisp.
Nevertheless, he is effective. There are so
many places in there for them to talk about
how he beats up girls. There are so many.
His hip toss technique is solid. Hips and fucking
what was the first sentence? He can be
super aggressive on his feet. Yeah, around 15
year olds when they're drunk. Especially when his father
has provided him alcohol.
Jesus Christ. Fucking hell.
He fights December 6th
2013.
It's at the Fresquez Productions Havoc show.
It's on the Route 66 Casino in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Main event of this fight was Holly Holm.
Holly Holm versus Angela Hayes.
Cody fights Estevez Jones, who sounds like a Blaxploitation movie character from the 70s.
Blaxploitation.
Doesn't he?
That is maybe the greatest word ever.
It's fucking.
That's so funny.
It is.
Blaxploitation.
Estevez Jones got the neighborhood hooked on that junk, man.
We got to stop him.
You know what I'm saying?
He'd be selling that junk to everybody.
Sold my little brother and it killed him.
Estevez Jones.
Died with a needle in his arm because of Estevez Jones.
Estevez.. Estevez
tries to tamper down
the Blaxploitationists by calling
himself, his nickname is Quiet
Riot. He's like, everybody calm down.
Calm down, everybody. I'm going to name myself
after shitty hair bands.
Let's do it.
I'm going to walk into We're Not Gonna Take It.
You guys ready? On the count of three. We're not
gonna take it. He probably does, doesn't he?
Yeah, you're goddamn right he does. Two fights in a row.
He's fought in Slim Shady and Quiet Riot
in two fights in a row. It's amazing.
Beating his way through the record industry.
This guy is 6'2",
205, so a lot lighter. Cody's
got 60 pounds on him. He's 8'7",
career. His next opponent
is Rat.
Next opponent is Winger. that's who he's fighting the
lead singer of winger that's funny because the 80s bands are fucking great for nicknames
all of them like skid row that's great oh yeah it's a great nickname that's terrific poison
fuck yeah it's a good one fucking motley crew it's a good one. Fucking Motley Crue. I'm in. It's a good name.
Cody wins by TKO with knees and punches.
So he's fucking pummeling him with any limb he can throw.
151, one minute 51 seconds of round one.
By the way, this is Blaxploitation Estevez Jones.
He's going back to the neighborhood to sell junk because this is his last fight.
He retires Estevez Jones.
He retired another one.
Retires him October 17, 2014, LFC 36.
That is Legacy Fighting Championships at the Allen Event Center in Allen, Texas.
It's just a guy named Allen's Dusty Ranch, I feel like.
You all can fight in my ranch.
You're like, thanks, Allen.
This is the Allen Event Center in Allen, Texas.
Cody's the main event fighting.
Feed the hogs while you're out there.
Feed, have somebody do it when you're done with your fight now.
Pay your way.
Pull your weight.
That's what I'm trying to get for.
Do your share.
He fights in the main event, Cody does, versus Vernon Wells, who's four and three career.
Cody wins by TKO with punches, three minutes and 26 seconds of round one.
Guess what?
This is Lewis' last fight.
Really?
Again, retires Lewis, too.
Wow.
So he's just going on a course of...
Wait, Lewis?
I thought you said Vernon Wells.
Vernon Lewis.
Vernon Wells is a baseball player that played for the Blue Jays for years.
Did I say Vernon Wells?
If I see Vernon at sports, I automatically think of Vernon Wells.
He fought the ex-Blue Jays center fielder, Vernon Wells, to a TKO.
Vernon Wells sounded like, did he take his glasses off before this fight?
He also beat Joe Carter after that.
Fuck, man.
And J-Bell came out.
He beat Kelly Gruber really, really bad from the 80s.
That's a deep.
So far you've got an Adrian Adonis and a Kelly Gruber reference in this whole thing.
No podcast on earth is talking about Kelly Gruber.
No.
And fucking who else?
Yeah, no.
Vernon Wells?
Never.
Kelly Gruber and Adrian Adonis and what his finishing move is.
Not at the same time.
It's never happening.
So January 22nd, 2015, he does an interview, Cody does, saying he just wants to box.
By the way, the last fight where he fought Wells, that was for the vacant Legacy Fight Championship heavyweight belt.
So he's the heavyweight champion of these people.
And he's saying he just wants to box.
In MMA, he's 9-1.
But, you know, he's like, I'm just thinking about boxing.
He likes working with his hands.
His boxing coach says, quote, he's the guy.
He's very, very smart now that he is intelligent about his fighting.
I am trying to bring back the head movement that's kind of been lost in the heavyweight division.
He says, Cody says in their own words, quote, I'm going to stick to boxing.
I still have a contract with Legacy, so I have to fulfill my agreement with them.
But after July, I will be focusing more on boxing.
I have my wife, my daughter, and another daughter on the way.
Yep.
I coach high school wrestling team, Valley High School, trying to give back to the community.
Yeah, keep that guy around high school kids.
I go to juvenile detention centers and talk to kids because a lot of people haven't been
there, and I have been there.
You just need to fight through it, and if I can do it, they can do it.
God damn it.
He needs to stay.
What's his fascination with fucking high school kids?
I don't know.
What is this?
He needs to be around them and in physical confrontations with them.
It's so weird.
January 24, 2015 is another boxing match here.
Buffalo Thunder Casino.
Fuck yeah.
In Poac, New Mexico.
Uh-huh.
Wow. Wow.
Holy shit. P-O-W-O-C or some
shit. P-O-J-O-A-Q-U-E.
Fuck you. Exactly.
I gave it the best I can.
That's the best college try ever. If you tweet me with the real
pronunciation, I will fucking block
you. I swear to God.
No, I won't block you. I'm going to find
out where you are and harass you.
I'm going to troll you on Twitter constantly if you do this.
I'll find you on Facebook.
Oh, you're going to be a fucking nightmare.
You're going to get so many horrible pictures.
And I'll turn my minions on you, and we have tons of them.
Don't make me turn Jay Wedbetter on you, because he's an asshole when he wants to be, goddamn it.
Hilarious.
Moving on here, he fights Manuel Easton, who was 2-5-1 at the time.
He's still fighting Manuel Easton.
He just lost by TKO in 2017, so he's going good here.
March 21, 2015, he's back in MMA.
Legacy FC number 40 at Wild Bills in Duluth, Georgia, which you know that's classy.
This is for the Legacy Championship.
He beats Bryce Rotani Coe.
His record is now 10-1.
Coe is 4-3. This is Coe's
second-to-last fight. So he's thinking about
it. This put the
idea in his head. Also in
2015, his probation's up.
So he's off probation. Free
and clear. Has another daughter in
2015 here. So he's got two
kids now, two daughters. He's
laying bricks during the day. Jesus. Also
because these legacy FC
fights are not paying the bills, apparently
with two daughters. So he's laying bricks
during the day. I don't know if it's with his
dad, the construction guy, or what.
But November 21st, 2015
is GKO5.
He has turned himself around. He has.
He's got two jobs. He's got a day job
and chasing a dream.
Good now, right?
Everything's going to be fine.
I love it.
You know what?
This is all going to be a bright story from now on.
I'm proud of him, too.
I think everything's going to be fine from now on.
In case you're listening, we're proud of you.
Your father probably never said it because you punched him in the mouth.
Yeah.
But we're proud of you.
From now on, crime and sport's usually very negative.
For the rest of the show, nothing but positive, right?
I love it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Never happened.
This episode would be over if there was no more bad.
So this is Global Knockout 5.
This is at the Jackson Rancheria Casino Resort in Jackson, California,
which sounds like it's just a building in the middle of a fucking desert.
He fights a guy named, god damn it, Cody fights Roy Boughton, better known as
Black Dynamite. Another
Blaxploitation character. I think the
other guy was in the movie Black
Dynamite. I think that's what happened. Black
Dynamite starring Estevez
Jones. That's what I want to see.
Right there. Unbelievable. Boughton is
14-8. Cody wins by
submission with punches. I don't know how that works.
I guess the guy just gave up because everywhere
I looked for the time and round
of this fight, eight different sites,
it all says 0-0-0
of round zero.
I don't know if they got in there. Cody was
warming up shadow boxing. The guy said, never mind.
Can't do it. I don't know what the fuck it is.
Did you see those punches? Yeah, exactly.
2016, there's a huge
fluff video on him. huge fluff video on him.
Okay.
Fluff video on him.
His coaches are praising him, saying how is he not in the UFC.
Everyone says the UFC guys aren't as good as him.
The whole deal.
Most of them don't have records like his.
Like deep like that.
He has an in their own words in this video, in their own words, quote,
yeah, I've had some ups and downs.
Got in a little bit of trouble when I was younger, 17, 18 years old.
People counted me out saying he ain't never going to be nothing.
He's always going to mess up.
I just stayed focused on my goal, show everyone I'm a good person.
Okay.
That's what he says.
February 5th, 2016, LFC 51 Legacy Fighting Championships.
This is at the Grand Casino Hinkley in Hinkley, Minnesota.
He is fighting. It might as well be
Paris, Madrid.
That's where he's fighting.
Tokyo. This is his Rio.
At this fight
there is a very special guest.
Dana White is there. Dana White,
if you're not a sports fan, is the guy who
is president of UFC.
If you want to be in UFC, this is the guy to talk to.
This is the guy to impress.
White was there filming an episode of his show Dana White Looking for a Fight.
He's looking for new fighters.
On the IMDb, it says about this, quote,
When Dana White took over UFC in 2001, one of the new UFC president's first tasks was to scour the MMA backwaters,
searching for undiscovered talent assigned to the UFC. Backwour the MMA backwaters searching for undiscovered talent
assigned to the UFC.
Backwaters.
The backwaters.
Yeah, that's where you find them.
He's going to be him, him, and he's going to be with his childhood friend Nick the Tooth.
That's his name.
He's got one tooth.
Yeah, interesting.
That's it, one.
So this is the fight.
Cody recalls that there was a lot of pressure on him because
he knew that Dana White was in the building, which
I would assume. So we have it in their own words
about that. In their own words,
quote, I had heard Dana was probably going to
go out there. I fight every fight like
I'm being watched. Every fight matters just the same
to me. I went out there and performed and did
what I did and it got me the contract.
I was lucky enough to fight and show that
Dana White was in the audience and I was lucky enough to fight and show that Dana White was
in the audience and I had a 40 second knockout.
By the time I left the locker room, I had a contract.
Maybe everything happens for a reason
because, yes, he
knocks the shit out of this guy. That's the equivalent of a
comic having somebody from Just for Laughs in the audience
and you get new faces. That's exactly
what it was. This is against Kevin
Asplund, who's a
260 pound guy here who's 17 and 11.
40 seconds with head kicks and punches.
He just pummels the shit out of this guy.
Watch the fight.
He pummels him.
Dana White signs him immediately.
They show the interaction.
He comes up and he's like, hey, man, let's get this going.
I'd like to get you in there.
Let's get this contract going.
And Tyler's like, I'm ready.
I'm ready to go.
Cody's like, I'm ready.
I'm ready to go.
I want to call him Tyler so so fucking bad so ufc signs cody cody is going to face in his first fight
he's going to face walt harris who's a seven and four he's uh seven and four in mma total at ufc
197 which takes place in the mgm grand garden arena in las vegas nevada undercard of baby it
is the undercard of john j Jones is in the main event.
Okay.
You know that.
So John Jones is in the main event.
He's going to be against Walt Harris in the undercard.
Cody's confident.
He says he's just going to start taking care of business in the heavyweight division.
Yeah.
This Harris guy is just first on the list, and then he's going to start working toward
his goal of being the shit.
All right.
He says in their own words, quote, I'm one of the younger guys in the division.
I feel like if UFC wants me to come in here and clean up the trash, I'll do that.
Holy shit.
Whatever they want.
If they want me to take out these guys hanging on by a thread, whatever,
trash in the UFC for a while, I'll take them out.
Last second fights and move me up, I'll take it.
If they want to move me up right away to fight these top guys, I'm ready for that, too.
I'm just here to show my place in the division and eventually one day take over.
Wow.
Yeah.
He's calling his fucking opponent trash.
Trash.
He's calling a shot, basically.
He's pointing the center field wall here.
Fuck yeah, he is.
He starts training with John Jones, which I think makes him feel a little bigger than he is.
This event, by the way, was the first one that UFC wanted to hold at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
But this was when it was going through the court process and a judge had put a preliminary injunction so they had to do it in Vegas.
You should never want to do that there anyway.
In Vegas, it's like so many people come there.
You want that.
I would want the Vegas lights to be fought under anyway.
Why not?
It seems like it's for gambling, too.
The audience constantly
flips over. You'll never have the same people in your fight.
Now, February 27, 2006,
there are articles everywhere about
just why UFC would sign
such an asshole, basically. Like, why
are you signing this asshole?
Jason House,
Cody's manager, responded to the article
saying, quote,
the UFC conducted an extensive background check on Cody before offering him an opportunity to complete in the UFC. That's not very good.
UFC defends Cody, too.
They issue a full response.
It says, quote, from the beginning, Mr. East was very upfront with UFC regarding his past.
In light of Mr. East's history,c had an independent investigation conducted into his past
and current behavior including included in the investigation was a response from east former
probation officer supporting his opportunity to compete in ufc and commenting that it would in
fact uh he would in fact be a good candidate uh yeah so they're saying he's completed many runs
of rehabilitation and counseling they go on to say, and they felt comfortable.
The last sentence, UFC feels comfortable offering Mr. East the opportunity to compete in UFC.
I'm good now. The UFC says he's good now.
Yeah, and they talk about a couple other fighters that were recently denied.
One guy was denied in 2012, Travis Brown, because he had a 2008 guilty plea for fourth-degree assault and sexual harassment.
Holy shit.
Which is way less than this guy did.
And also there was another one where a guy was discharged from the Air Force for domestic violence and his wife.
And they said they don't really like the domestic violence thing.
He had one that was – sexual harassment was dismissed?
No, no. This was a guy who pled to a fourth degree assault and sexual harassment.
Oh, okay.
Like four years before he was going to sign.
And this guy was acquitted of fucking rape.
And this guy was acquitted of rape.
And these fucking fans are pissed.
Yeah.
Okay?
There's some fucking irony here that pisses me off.
So these...
I get the fans.
You want to see a good fight, but you want fearless fighting psychopaths.
But you want good upstanding psychopaths. Yeah.
Yeah.
No.
They're only crazy in the ring.
No, sorry.
You go out there, you get fucking beat up.
You're fearless.
You get a bunch of brain damage and walk around.
Don't cause any trouble.
You want the fucking crazies.
Let them fight from prison. I don't give a shit. I'm serious. Let them fight. Give the money to the victims. I don't give any trouble. You want the fucking crazies. Let them fight from prison.
I don't give a shit.
I'm serious.
Let them fight.
Give the money to the victims.
I don't give a shit.
Make them fight.
Don't even fucking offer it.
Just make them fucking do it.
You want a guy that's walking around with padlock chains, and then you're surprised that he goes fucking nuts in public?
But at least that you're embracing the psychos.
This is bullshit.
This is feigned fucking moralism where you're sitting there going, I want psychopaths.
I really want to see him tear his fucking head off.
They love it when somebody snaps somebody's leg or arm or somebody gets knocked out cold,
but they're like, hey, I don't like that he grabbed a woman's ass.
You don't care.
You don't give a shit.
You're watching these people give each other fucking brain damage for five minutes of fucking
time.
Oh my God.
Jesus.
That just makes me so fucking mad.
Because they don't care about anybody else, but they act like they do.
Now they're because they can feel better about themselves.
Go fuck yourself.
Anyway, so Cody is 12-1 coming into this fight against Walt Harris here.
Harris is 7-4.
It was pretty even at first.
Harris is pretty aggressive in the beginning.
They get – basically, it's just a brawl.
These guys are going back and forth, back and forth.
Harris hurts East with a punch and just gets him on the ground and starts whooping on him a little bit.
Cody's attempting to defend himself, but he's eating punches like crazy.
Finally, it's called off at 4 minutes and 18 seconds in round one.
Ouch.
Harris says he thinks he broke his hand, but pain is temporary and joy is forever.
So he sounds like he's excited.
He broke his hand on his fucking face.
On his face, on Cody's big, stupid, bald head.
Cody had a nine-fight winning streak coming into the fight.
Harris made himself $20,000 plus a $10,000 win bonus,
and Cody made $10,000 for the fight.
That's so low.
That does not sound low.
You need to be laying some bricks down the side with that.
So, I mean, we're looking at this now.
This guy, he starts out a menace to teenage girls,
ruined his fucking school's reputation,
silver-haired middle-aged white men,
disappointed them from the end of time. That Judge
Pope has got to be super, super
he's got to be just disappointed
in his whole entire existence.
But now he's coming up. He's doing fine.
All this shit. Now there's women.
There's people. He stomped his
dad. I feel bad for all these people,
Jimmy. All these people.
But not nearly as bad as
I feel for Cody East, a line cook at the Hollywood Casino of Baton Rouge, which sounds glamorous.
Yeah.
In Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Oh, you know it.
Cody East, a welder at JCV in Wichita, Kansas.
Jesus.
Which, again, glamorous.
Cody East, a Winnipeg, Canada area accountant.
He's an accountant at Grant Thornton LLP.
He went to the University of Manitoba.
Or an acquitted rapist.
Or an acquitted rapist.
You never know.
And you wouldn't know until about page eight which one you were looking for if you were
looking for a good accountant in the Winnipeg area.
Jesus.
You'd be like, you've got to search deep.
You'd be like, wow, my accountant's been beating people.
He tried to rape a girl.
He hip-tossed a 15-year-old.
He fucking punched a 15-year-old.
Good Lord.
And finally, Cody East, owner-operator of a Meridian Lake Enterprises construction company up in Canada.
Weird thing with Cody.
He tweets, but his Twitter is boring.
All he does is tweet MMA shit.
Like retweets it.
A lot of retweets of MMA pages.
A lot of just like tweets like, you know, so-and-so versus so-and-so should be a good fight.
Like, that's boring.
He doesn't do anything exciting.
His last tweet is on May 16th, 2016.
Since then, he's done nothing but retweet shit.
MMA shit.
Just retweet, retweet, retweet.
If you follow the same people he follows, you don't even have to fucking read his Twitter feed. And I'm sure they all do. It's all MMA shit. Just retweet, retweet, retweet. If you follow the same people he follows, you don't even have to fucking read his Twitter feed.
No, you don't. And I'm sure they all do. It's all MMA shit.
His last tweet is cryptic as shit. I don't know what this means.
It's just, quote, 783048774593.
No clue what the fuck that number is. No idea.
It's like the first 12 of his credit card.
And if you have the last four, then you got it.
You can do it.
Or it's the last 12.
You need the first four.
I don't know what the hell is going on here.
But that's what it is.
I don't know if it's like some sort of phone number for like Africa or somewhere really
far, another continent.
It doesn't matter.
On October 1st, 2000-
It's a phone number a girl gave him that they didn't want to talk to.
Yeah, and he's like, who did this?
I'm going to hip toss him.
So on October 1st, 2016 is UFC Fight Night 96 at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon.
He fights Curtis Blades.
That's with a Y, B-L-A-Y-D-E-S.
He's a 6'4", 265 pounder with a 5-1 record in MMA.
This is his UFC debut for Blades.
They fight.
This is a nasty fight.
These guys, they are.
They're up and down.
They're taking each other down.
It's a good fight.
They're punching.
Yeah, it's a good fight for heavyweights.
It's active.
It's really good.
By the beginning of the second round, they came out.
They both looked tired.
It was one of those where the first round looked like it drained them both.
They're gassed already yeah uh cody lands a good punch and then blades
takes him down and just starts pummeling cody with punches and short elbows and just wailing on him
in his face uh cody tries to get up blades is just short elbows to the back of the head like
nobody's business it's fucking legal it's legal leaves a giant big nasty lump on the back of the head like nobody's business. It's fucking legal. It's legal. Leaves a giant, big, nasty lump on the back of his head,
this big, gross egg that I'm sure caused more brain damage than he already has.
It's a TKO from elbows at two minutes and two seconds in round two.
So he is now 0-2 in UFC here.
So he's not doing terrific in UFC at this very moment in time.
I would say that's bad.
You're 0-2. You haven't exactly set the world on fire.
Amateur is great. And in the lower ones
he's great, but he's losing to guys who aren't even that
great here. The guys are mediocre
fighters here. He says,
but he's staying strong.
We have an in their own words from Cody here.
Cody says, in their own words,
quote, what I've learned from my experience is that
one mistake can cause a lot of damage.
You don't have to become the person that people make you out to be.
It doesn't matter what anybody says about you or what they think about you.
Just do you.
That's what I did, and now I'm here.
Now I'm here.
I've beat rape charges.
I've done me, and I've done people against their will, and I prefer me, apparently.
Done people against their will.
Jesus.
And then he says, do you, boo-boo.
That's his advice.
You do you, boo.
Yeah.
Jesus Christ.
That's his advice for the world.
Thanks.
Guys, just do you.
Don't take life advice from this guy.
Let's just say that.
No.
October 21st, 2016, 13 fighters are released from their UFC contracts, including Cody.
He is out. He gets two fights. And they're like, nah, including Cody. He is out.
He gets two fights, and they're like, nah, no thanks.
Screw you, and a bunch of other guys that I've never heard of at all.
Cody is depressed, obviously.
It's October 21, 2016.
This happens.
Now he's jobless.
He has no UFC contract anymore, and he has a little problem on December 18, 2016, when
he has a big fight with his girlfriend at 2 o'clock in the morning.
Yeah.
Cody's girlfriend locked him out of their home.
They had an all-day argument, which I assume they've been drinking since 9 probably.
He had hip-tossed her a couple of times.
All-day argument, and she feared that he would hit her.
So she locked him out.
He broke in through the living room window. Oh, fuck.
Aggressive as shit. Took away
her cell phone and refused to return it,
which is a crime right there. You're not allowed to do that.
And accusing her
of attempting to call the police.
Gee, how dare you? Sir, that's
the crime. You just
admitted to the crime. Yeah, and it's funny because
it's like, of course she would
call the police. You're a giant lunatic trying to break in the fucking window.
You're a fighter.
Who's fighting right now.
So, yeah, or was anyway when someone wanted to pay him to.
No, no, fighting her at the bar.
Oh, fighting her.
Yeah, yeah.
She tries to hide in the bathroom, but he, of course, bursts in there and corners her in the bathroom.
This is when it gets nasty.
Okay?
It hasn't even gotten nasty yet.
He then kicks her multiple times in both legs. he's leg kicking her like he's fighting uh when she goes down he knees
her in the head uh slaps her in the chin slaps her in the face and then drags her okay he also
kicked a hole in the mall and the wall when he missed her one time so that's he's just aggressively
swinging going crazy this is flashbacks of the drinking party in 2007 here.
He then grabbed her by the hair, pulled her toward the front door, where he told her that
she was going to leave with him, or he was going to kill her son.
That's what he said.
Those are the options?
Her 10-year-old son that lives in the house.
Those are shit options.
Those are shit options.
Come with me while I beat you and drag you by the hair or i'll kill your child okay uh so also to the
the the son was there and he backs the whole thing up too he went and hid yeah he said that
he was in his room when he heard when he heard cody say he was going to kill him so he ran to
the back of his bedroom and hid in a closet and waited for the cops to come. But before Cody could get into the bathroom when she initially ran away, she did get to call 911.
Great.
And, yeah, it's crazy, this 911 call, too, because I've heard it.
You heard it?
I heard it.
Oh, boy.
It's not cool, man.
We'll get into it in a second.
The report also stated that the 911 operator, and we'll hear it in a little bit.
We'll not hear the call, but I'll tell you about it.
Said that there was yelling in the background.
She could hear a physical struggle, and the caller was screaming for help.
And you could hear a loud bang, and then the call was disconnected.
Oh, shit.
I assume that's him breaking in the door to the bathroom and him getting off.
The next-door neighbor of the couple said that after hearing all this banging and screaming, they watched a
male, Cody, dragging a female out of the house by her arms while she was, quote, screaming
and resisting and forced her into his truck.
Oh, God.
Police arrive.
Yeah.
When they arrive, Cody and his girlfriend are in his truck.
Good.
About to leave the house.
Yeah.
The police stop the vehicle here and they see Cody driving and they see are in his truck about to leave the house. Great timing. Yeah. The police stop the vehicle here, and they see Cody driving,
and they see her in the passenger seat,
and they said that the woman was, quote, crying
and seemed like she was in a physical struggle, according to the officer.
She was also only wearing a tank top and underwear with a blanket covering her,
so obviously she wasn't going out.
No, that's a kidnapping.
Yeah.
Cody tells the cops that he and his girlfriend were just going out to get some coffee.
Just going to go get coffee.
In her underwear.
We've got a 10-year-old in the house.
He said he didn't know why she wasn't wearing pants, socks, or shoes.
That's out of his jurisdiction.
I don't control what she puts on her ass.
She can go in Starbucks like that, I think.
Yeah, he said the two were in an argument, and he broke back into the house after she
locked him out because it was his home. And he said the hole in the bathroom wall, he did that the day before. Yeah, he said the two were in an argument and he broke back into the house after she locked him out because it was his home.
And he said the hole in the bathroom wall,
he did that the day before. So that's fine.
That's perfectly fine. Everybody
does that. He also said
that he was unaware that his girlfriend was injured
and...
Oh my God. And quote, if he had
punched her, deputies would know it.
That's what he said. I'm a fighter,
you guys. You'd know it if I hurt somebody.
When confronted about lying to deputies, Cody stated that nothing happened.
That's it.
He said, nothing happened.
I don't know what you're talking about.
The case is open and currently under review, and they're talking about proceeding with the charges, and they do.
They proceed with three felony charges he's charged
with aggravated battery against a household member uh great bodily harm on that one aggravated
assault against a household member and false imprisonment he's released on thirty thousand
dollars no terroristic threats even for one to kill a ten-year-old unbelievable uh so this 911
call uh she said she was hiding in the bathroom while he was trying to break in.
He said that she threatened her with physical violence because this was before he came in and raged that she was on the phone.
She said, quote, he said he was going to break my face.
I'm hiding in the restroom.
Please, I have my son here.
She pleads with the 911 operator to have the – this is so sad.
I feel so bad for this woman.
She pleads with the 911 operator to not have the
police tell Cody that she was the one
who made the call. She said, just please say it's
somebody else. She said, quote, can you
just say that they heard people that were really loud?
I'm scared that he knows I called.
Oh, Jesus. She's fucking
unbelievable. He should be scared that the cops are
coming and they should be fucking
lumping him in the back of his egghead
with nightsticks all the way to the goddamn station.
He should already feel like a piece of shit trying to break down a bathroom door.
Unbelievable.
She then seemed to put the phone down when he was coming in.
She told the police that he broke into the restroom.
She screams, quote, he's breaking in.
Please.
Oh, my God.
He's opening it.
I got to go.
Please.
And that was when she hung up.
That was the loud bang because he's coming in I gotta go please and that was when she hung up that was the loud bang
because he's coming in that's how scared this poor
woman is she's drug out by her hair
in fear of life of her son
into the car what a fucking
in her underwear and have this
guy going we're just getting coffee that's what
a sick fuck he is too calm as
can be in front of the cops he's like nothing
happened we're just going to get coffee I don't know why she's got
no pants on what the the fuck, man?
I need a macchiato. That's not even a psychopath.
That's guy calculating.
This is ridiculous. March 27,
2017, he says he's going to put
MMA on the back
burner, and he's got his sights set
on making another run in the boxing
world. Jesus. No,
keep it. We're good on your boxing. Thank you.
He does have a testimonial
up at the Red Phoenix Acupuncture Clinic in Albuquerque. They have a huge testimonial from
him about how great their acupuncture is. I don't want him advocating for me at all.
Anything that he buys, I don't want to buy. Yeah, he keeps talking about it. It's a whole long thing
that I know he didn't write and somebody probably wrote for him.
He beat somebody in the submission and made him write it.
That's what it seems like here.
Yeah, he's saying I trained with professional fighters in Albuquerque and I've got to be ready to spar with world-class athletes on any given day.
And I can't perform my best on painkillers.
So you need acupuncture.
Surgery's not an option.
Holy shit.
Have you had acupuncture before?
You've got to wait a couple of
days after that shit to go sparring because you are it you're tender to say i would imagine it's
hundreds of needles and you you feel great but you're sore you're tender it sounds terrible
that's that i don't i don't want to go box after that shit no it sounds awful so this fucking
idiot's doing uh uh testimonials for who would want this guy's opinion on anything.
So he is currently, because this was so recently, this was December of 2016, this is still going through the courts.
He's charged with these things, and we'll see what the hell happens with it.
We'll see.
We don't have a resolution on it because it hasn't been resolved yet.
But I can tell you that he was an asshole from day one, and he's still an asshole.
Literally like a pending case asshole at this point in time.
Cody East is a fucking mess.
It's pretty awesome that you picked this one this week when we have the McGregor and Mayweather fight.
Gee, it's almost like it was planned that way.
It's a fighter.
It's an MMA fighter that's going to box.
And it's a little Mayweather with the woman punching.
And a little McGregor just being an idiot.
Almost like it was planned that way.
Unbelievable.
Jesus Christ.
Would you look at that?
Yeah.
So that is Cody East.
And like I said, we'll get to his brother Tyler at some point in the future.
But that's Cody.
For now.
He's a mess, this Cody.
