If I'm Cody, I don't want anyone looking like him near me unless it's some kind of Make A Wish situation. Horrifically ugly man whose pictures have an odor.
That out of the way, I don't understand why he got hired for a real job there. Cody should've paid him in exposure like a real neo-carny promoter. From what I pick up, and please correct me if I'm wrong, he was doing absolutely nothing a real production guy could do except sacrifice his existence for a chance to make eye contact one of the roster. I don't think I disbelieve him, there's some pieces missing, like he's the static in some communication.
And DDP Yoga isn't a Scientology-like cult. It's a Getting Things Done-like cult.
