His speaking skills are incredible given his lack of muscle control

It must be frustrating being so smart but having a body that holds you back a little. Kinda like Steven hawking

Thank you Cody for reminding me to get off my a$s and get it there, I often feel sorry for myself and don’t make improvements. You’re an inspirational man

It's quite a talent that Chris can understand instantly what some people are saying. I know I'd struggle with it. Chris, you're an awesome soul

Amazing how he's able to talk without moving his lips. Wow, what a warrior he is.

It is a little sad that his dream girl is simply someone who can understand what he's going through. Everyone deserves that, and while you think it'd be easy, unfortunately we all know how much that isn't.

It might sound strange but my first reaction was: He is really handsome ! Then, I thought about how clever he is.

I hope a kind and loving girl can offer him the affection he needs ...

My 3 year old son fell in the pool 23 years ago, I was lucky he didn’t drown as he was quickly pulled out when he rose to the top. He has mild Autism and is gifted. This video is a reminder that we humans are very fragile and we never know if an accident might happen. Cody, you are a living miracle - you are beautiful and God’s gift to others. A big hug to you ❤️

The effort this guy puts into just speaking. I hope the people he meets in life give him the time to hear him out.

Cody, in my humble opinion, you are smart, charming, funny and an absolute gentleman. God bless and sending you a big hug from Australia.

Kudos to this man for trying to speak as normally as possible, I think my mouth not doing what I wanted it to would be really frustrating. Then again, he's been doing it for at least a decade and a half. I was telling my six-year-old about this and trying to speak just using my tongue, it was super hard. His enunciation is impeccable, considering.

This dude has always been an inspiration for me, hope he's ok and living a good life.

I really like how this channel isn’t afraid to ask questions and is trying to teach people HOW to be more open and accepting with practical information as well as reminding others or everyone’s humanity.

This guy is amazing. Most people wouldn't know that he is trapped in his body. I hope one day they find a way to fix his body not only for him but everyone. There's probably a lot more that can't talk but the brain in working. Real eye opener...

If I stare to Cody's face while he's talking, I barely get what he says. But if I close my eyes and I focus myself only on his voice, I'm able to understand every single word. Brain is such and incredibile machine, and Cody's will to be understood is mindblowing

Cody seems so cool. He’s also quite handsome, I’m surprised he wasn’t already married off by the time this video was made. It’s not often you meet a handsome AND funny guy lol. I hope he finds all he wants in life!

“a girlfriend” 🥺 i hope he finds someone who thinks he’s beautiful on the inside and out. He seems so kind and willing to do anything he can for his people ❤️❤️

I understood every word. I even closed my eyes so I didn't see subtitles. That takes skill considering how hard it must be bro. You seem like a great dude and some girl out there is gonna be lucky to be your lady.

Its super impressive that he learned how to talk without using his mouth! Seems like a nice guy who's really impressive.

I can’t imagine how frustrating it is to have total awareness and understanding but your body can’t physically keep up with your brain. He is so handsome btw!!!

To be able to talk using his throat muscles is amazing!

I watched a few videos last week but when he said “thank you for making this platform where people with disabilities can tell stories” how can you not hit the subscribe button?❤️

I wish he woke up one day fully recovered. At least for a day. I am sure he would live this 1 day the way some of us are not able to live our whole lives.

This mean has more determination than most others on this planet. He's a compassionate and wonderful person. I hope you come back to read these and get that feeling of support if and when you need it.

This guy is so positive. I know that it’s so hard to live with a body that doesn’t work right, but he’s doing so good. He’s staying positive, which is impressive after the first year, and a miracle after a decade or two!

Two very sweet souls. My heart goes out to Cody. I hope he finds someone as gifted as he deserves.

I’m super glad he is alive I hope he does good for the rest of his life

Most of us could learn a valuable lesson from this. Myself included. Keep on shining, Cody.

This guy cleans up real nice.

It's easy to tell Cody is one stylish and cool guy :) I wish him a happy life! Sending love

Would love an update on this amazing man. I hope he's living his dream, and with that dream girlfriend. Much love brother man

He deserves all the love he can get. What a beautiful soul. One day he will be free and shine brighter than the brightest star.

This man is such a gem. Any girl would be so lucky to have such an amazing wholesome man in her life. I can tell he'd treat her right and treat her like a queen.

What a beautiful guy. Cody, you are brilliant!

This guy is really handsome and attractive.

Cody is an amazing man, and a huge inspiration, and a funny guy, too. This might be the greatest clip I have ever seen on KZfaq. People's lives can change in an instant. Never take a second of precious life for granted; ever.

He is very very handsome and intelligent. Winner in my book.

This man is doing the God's work by sharing their messages. It's impossible to not love him and his work!

this really makes me feel awful for ever complaining about my life. look at him, fighting desperately just to be heard and understood. we take so much for granted and we really have no excuse not to achieve our goals.

The people on this channel show what the real meaning of unconditional love is!🌹🌹❤❤ You, " The Host Do As Well"!🌹🌹❤❤ I pray for these families & individuals.

What an awesome guy. Love his sense of humor. And handsome, too!

Can we just admire Chris’ eye contact when his guests are speaking? He’s always so engaged with them and 100% focused on them

This guy is such a champ, so smart, so brave, we can all learn from this man, patience, humility, understanding, what a great guy.❤️

Wow!! Amazing he has the fortitude and strength in his body to speak again and live life! Wonderful man!

I think he's very handsome!! Yes, it might take a bit to get accustomed to his speech and disability, but I know there's a girl out there just right for him. This channel is proof of that. Lets get this man some love!! Any takers ladies?!! 😍

He's so adorable I pray he has a beautiful rest of his life im crying because he's so precious to the holy spirit

Awww I wish I can hug him in person!! He's a trooper! So proud of him! ❤️

Comments are turned back on, so here I am! You are amazing, you embody "Keep Moving Forward!" and I'm here for it!

I have so much love and respect for people with disabilities. I help them as much as I can!! They are smart and passionate and have so much to give! Listen to them with your heart and you will understand EVERYTHING!!

Cody is one of the reasons I am grateful to have found this channel. If the work Chris does with these extraordinary people doesn't open your heart, your soul and your mind, nothing will.

I'm glad he can communicate...that's huge! Cody is badass 🙌

This makes my heart break and reform. Thank you. What a special gift to be able to give the world. ❤️

Cody is my favorite guy ever.

Cody is awesome and has helped me to be positive :) Thank you so much for interviewing him, and thank you, Cody, for sharing with us!

He's got a great attitude and great advice. What a cool guy. Hope he's well and found his girl. This was so cool

Very inspired with everyone I meet on here. I can’t say it enough how great this channel is.

Chris. I don't know you, but you're the most incredible man I've ever seen. I love you. God loves you. Thank you for loving so damn hard. It doesn't go unnoticed and your mansion in Heaven will be one of the most glorious and beautiful places that ever was. God bless you.

I have major depression and bipolar 1 and coming to this channel helps put things into perspective. I hope he’s doing well these days.

Upsets me to think of how frustrating it must get for him at times. Clearly a smart and charismatic guy struggling with his body to get it across to everyone. Really brings home the meaning of don't judge a book by its cover. Really take the time to get to know people. There's some really special gems out here.

Out of curiosity, as he ever tried a communication device? One that can operate by hands, switches or eye gaze. Not for all the time but just for times when someone might have trouble understanding. My young client uses one and is an actual genius but has severe cerebral palsy so can't speak or move. He uses his eyes on his device to speak to people.

I love what you're doing. I want to hug all of your guests because they are all so beautiful and precious but so often misunderstood and passed over.

Thank you, Cody!! You speak so well-without having the use of your tongue and facial muscles. How amazing you are!!! I love that you prize authenticity, a sense of humor, and grit!! Get off your backside and get out there!! Woo-hoo!! Thank you for saying that!! 💪♥️

Thank you Chris (and Cody) for this, and many other reminders, that every iteration of life is beautiful and worth valuing. With them, I’m able to more truly appreciate how lucky I am for my health and fortune. You’ll find that girl Cody.

This is an incredible channel and I’m happy the comments are back for good ❤️

He's such a handsome, wholesome man

Breaks my heart, no one should go through these pains, I wish it could all be healed. Such a strong soul to endure so much each day, and still be positive and kind.

Wow, he’s got the most gorgeous eyes, and sense of humour.

I like this guy. I just like him.

Hi Cody! Talk about perseverance! I am glad you were able to be on a large platform and share your story. Our son he has cerebral palsy, and it can be frustrating to him when his body is not cooperating, but he has worked through it, and has taught his father and I some lessons in life. Take care and sending good vibes your way!

It’s incredibly thoughtful for him to come and share his story with us!! Thank you 🥰

Thank you for your kindness

What an amazing human being 💕

He is so attractive & so smart & confident.

Cody, you are definitely more than a guy in a wheelchair or a guy with a disability. You’re just as worthy as anybody else. A beautiful human being, a beautiful soul that has the power to be an inspiration with your story.

He has such beautiful eyes and personality. I hope neurologists find a way to help him and give him more freedom to communicate.

Don't give up There is always someone for everyone

Hi everyone: It's so nice to see you all again on KZfaq. I want to meet you all one day. Take care and stay safe.

I'm curious how he seems so full of joy, when I have everything and still dread waking up every morning.

It's amazing how he learned to speak that way and pronounce the hard letters f, p, b and so on, without closing their lips, mouth

whenever Cody speaks i subconciously open my mouth as well i have no idea why

Cody, yo también doy gracias por que Chris haga estos maravillosos encuentros con personas distintas... no tan distintas. 🌍

I wanted to thank you for the care and support you show all your guests, its heartwarming.

Cody, you are so inspiring. I appreciate your advice to 'get off your butts and get out there'. That's definitely something I need to hear sometimes! You seem like a really great guy. I know once the right lady has a chance to get to know you, you'll find your dream girl. Don't be discouraged if it doesn't happen quickly. These things take time. Matters of the heart are the most complex in nature, but worth waiting for. Thank you for doing this interview! I wish you all the best life has to offer. Xoxo

he seems like such a great guy! wish him luck on finding a good girlfriend!

I understand him perfectly, and I'm so happy he's alive and well! God bless you for what you do! ❤️

Bro I love your channel, I find myself crying with compassion during your videos. Someone who i would've not understood all of a sudden becomes understandable. Thankyou for the love you share and the encouragement to love people even when it may be complicated

I just want to thank you Chris for giving us the opportunity to meet all of these AMAZING PEOPLE!! I have been so blessed by countless stories you've done. Thank you again Chris and please don't stop, there's so many more beautiful people we have yet to meet!!🥰

Sending so much love from Ghana ❤️❤️❤️

His disability makes him seem to have a talent in talking without closing his mouth

It such beautiful thing for differently abled people to have a platform to share their voice and experiences ,because so many wise people go unheard and that's a tragedy. Keep on keeping on my man your so strong and wise I got mad respect for you

Thank you for doing such a great job with these videos helping people to be seen for what they are and not for what they could be.

Awesome. CONGRATS TO THIS MAN FOR THIS AMAZINGS INTERVIEWS THAT BRING HOPE TO THIS AMAZING PEOPLE

What a great man, and hella nice suit. 👌 I've been recovering from a broken leg and it's been a incredibly humbling experience, I've had some of the worst depression and frustration just temporarily not being able to walk and do my usual things - I cannot imagine the way he feels having a totally able brain and a body that just can't. Anyone know his @?

He's so expressive. This man shows you can still live for tomorrow even when today may suck being misunderstood or body fighting for those struggling out there 💕

Omg dude I am so sorry you have to live with this. It blows when your brain and your body don't synchronize. As someone with TBI and was paralyzed with a tracheotomy, I feel you. You just want to speak.....but you can't get it out the way normal people do, and they simply don't have the understanding to listen and have patience. I hope you find love!! It really makes life worth living.

He is amazing. I would love to meet you. I am so impressed with the work he has done to be able to make so many sounds and to be understood with the limitations he has! So funny and smart. I would love to joke around with this amazing dude.

Jesus radiates off you Chris :) God bless you

My grandson drowned 5 years ago and he was brought back to life and was in the ice for 1 month and the doctors told my daughter to let him go because that's as good as it will get, but she refused and he started to progress until he was discharged home and he has had daily nursing since then. The recovery is very slow but we keep praying and having faith in God's time he will speak to us. He knows us but he can't talk or smile and he seems like he gets frustrated trying to communicate. He's always having some sort of therapy and they never give up on him.He is 10 years old now and I can't wait till the day when he can communicate with us, our faith will get us through this. This gentleman proves there is always hope. God bless him!
