Tongue firmly in cheek, Cody covers a lot of ground, from being a 25-year-old man without a driver’s licence sporting an eight-year-old learner’s permit, to the dangers of drinking grey milk in Thailand.

David Mould knows his enemy well and gives the duck hunting community a well honed working over.
