  Speaker 1: Okay, I was curious where it came from, and then I met with the family, so now I know.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Well, that would be my ex-wife.

• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you know what Shiloh did to one of my friends, but it was uncalled for and inappropriate and I'm sorry you guys aren't married anymore, but it kind of was a little low to do that.

  Speaker 2: I don't know the details, nor do I need to know.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: No, yeah sure.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I have heart feelings.

  Speaker 2: Okay, those are the heart feelings that I have.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Now, what about feelings towards me as a Christian?
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I'm very sick and I wanted to make things right before you know, things kind of get out of hand, so to speak.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Well, I did my best to move forward.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I carried a lot of pain from my divorce, so everything between me and Shiloh and included what happened between us behind me.

  Speaker 1: I look a little different now, but I've been doing art in Grants Pass and you and I shared a booth at a little con.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I don't think you realized it Congratulations.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Grants Pass doesn't have a new Comic Con, Not in Grants Pass no.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: It was some sort of oh like a thing in Medford.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I forget what it was.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: A lot of my uh, artist friends were there.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: So I grew up in the area and I know pretty much any comic artists in Medford period.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: So I was.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: It was good to see your work out there, and on the sidewalk that was kind of cool.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: It was good to see your work out there.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, thank you, and on the sidewalk that was kind of cool.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Congratulations.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't done that in a while.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: So listen, I just you know it hurt me A lot of anger toward both sides and I wanted to make sure nobody hated each other or anything.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of rumors that are spreading about what happened and I wanted to come to the source, because everybody's taking things out of proportions, both my fans and probably other people around.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: So I uh, I don't know if you know what I've been up to, but I have a total of 91,000 fans.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: If you ever want to stop by and see the art, it's pretty fun.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, congratulations.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Trying to make a difference, mm-hmm.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: And I read your graphic novel, finally, your Dragons in Our Mids thing.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't write it, I just drew it.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, are you going to do it again, or no?
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know it's still up in the air.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you did a good job.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: You did a good job.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I'm just sorry.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry about you know Seattle.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Well, you weren't there in Seattle so you kind of don't know a little bit.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: But I'm sorry about what happened in Medford and at Quinn's and Sarah Rose, and I was really confused actually, actually, who Sarah Rose actually ever was.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: To this day I don't know whose relative is what.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it traumatized me too for a lot of years and I don't hold that against you.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I mainly hold it more against Shiloh because, uh, when it was all over and said and done, she called churches and told them I was cody and my life.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Everybody called me cody, a person I didn't even know, and it got so traumatic that people would not serve me at restaurants or traumatic that people would not serve me at restaurants or even allow me to go to church without me admitting I was Cody.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: And people got real aggressive after that and I lost a lot of friends.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I don't blame that on you, but I'm going to say Cody and Shiloh must have been damn close.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: That's all I'm going to say.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but I just wanted to make amends and make sure you don't hate me and I don't hate you, hate me and I don't hate you, and if I get sick and pass away in a few days that I uh I did everything I could to make amends to the things that I've uh done in my life, and also you, yeah, well, um, yeah, nice, calling that's definitely a good thing.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: If you have anything to say, you can say it or we can call it that, but I really am sorry.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: No, I think I appreciate you reaching out.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm looking forward to the future.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's one other thing too that I don't know if Shiloh has or what.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Some paperwork when you guys took me has emerged and I think if you can get a hold of Shiloh or somebody that has it and get it back into the proper hands, that would be appreciated, because we're missing a few things.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: You know I'm in the hospital and sick and everybody's needing some of that, needing some of that.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: So you could pass it on that.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: If you have any other paperwork, that would be great.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Off the top of my head.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: I can't say that I know where anything exists Okay.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: That's okay.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I gave Shiloh pretty much everything you know, every share between us, that's okay, I'm shocked because you guys were in love like Wow, I'm surprised I.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: What happened to the kids?
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: What happened?
• 13:45

• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, the usual that's going to be hard.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll manage it.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: It's become a new normal now.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I wish you well in your life and I'm sorry for everything that's happened.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Perhaps you can try to get in contact with her.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Maybe she needs to, I don't know.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: I was going to ask you because it would mean a lot to.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: It's really traumatized me, know everybody, the whole Cody thing and I, everybody involved, including the chemo doctor here, and I just want to make amends.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: If she thinks I'm Cody, I want to, I want to, for once and for all, submit it in her mind that no, I'm not.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Here's proof.
