Hello — Cody Wymore on JoCo Cruise 2020
Channel: Angela Brett
Date: 2020-04-10

(to the tune of ‘Hallelujah’)
You're always welcome to his show
As long as you can say "hello"
You'll really want to listen to this guy more
His singing prowess is so strong
Just makes stuff up as he goes along
Let's hear it for our good friend Cody Wymore

I was still at the A Bunch of Monkeys Read Some Stuff event (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJ-l6mr1dW0ixrSXw4PzmvU1gnJw5CLjh) for the first few minutes of this, so Joey Marianer, who also wrote the above, recorded the beginning and sent me the recording to edit into mine. My video is clearer, but for some reason I continued to film it at an odd angle that almost cut Cody’s head off, so I rotated it in Final Cut and used Joey’s video to fill in the corners.

Cody Wymore starts his performance by doing what Vance Gilbert taught us not to do: asking the audience how they’re doing. One thing that he would like us to take away from this experience is that he is 100% not Vance Gilbert. 

He starts by sanitising his hands, because he cares about everybody on this boat. That’s always a good thing to do on cruise ships, but this was on March 11, 2020, the day the WHO declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic. (Five minutes after this show was over, someone came over to tell me that a ban of flights from Europe to the USA had just been announced — I still managed to fly in the opposite direction to get home on my original flights.)

Anyhow, Cody Wymore says hello, and tells us that his name is Cody Wymore, and he has a Masters degree in musical theatre and writing, and he works in ad tech. The topic for debate is whether ‘we might go to a nice place’ even contains a subjunctive at all — tense, mood, or otherwise. It is important, therefore, that this sentence be an example of an actual subjunctive or three, though it’s not imperative that it have content — it’s only imperative that it not be in the imperative.

I'll put the rest of this show in the playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJ-l6mr1dW0jDIxkbh82MExirTlbhmXi5
