Motion is the underrated tool I use to get stuff DONE (Free Trail Affiliate Link): usemotion.sjv.io/XYGz9g it integrates with your calendar and creates time and space for you to work, as well as adjusts tasks to keep you on track -- it's what time management SHOULD be for someone like me!
I shot this vertically on my phone, but then decided i wanted to make it a YT video, so reformatted to 4:3, which took me RIGHT back to some of the first stuff I ever made with video -- super fun and nostalgic.
Thanks so much for being here, watching my vids, supporting and encouraging me!

Sometimes i just enjoy a couple of Cody vlogs during my morning coffee

[@CristinaFilms]

Cody’s talking comfortable as if sitting in a bed, and the amount of time sitting in it….wow. Admiration!!! So strong!

[@RCodyWanner]

once i got out i could barely talk because my teeth were chattering for so long haha

[@CristinaFilms]

@@RCodyWanner you are very tough! Motivational!

[@JimBowieMack]

Mate, this is the best thing I’ve watched in ages on YT! The pacing, the ASMR, the anticipation, the storytelling, the entertainment and overall the actual message were all on point!

[@RCodyWanner]

aw wow!! Thank You!!

[@ODriscolls]

Pursue what makes you healthier, I love that!

[@AshleyMurphyArt]

Master of cold plung!

[@raulgolfs]

Haha man you’re a brave man for this one bud. That is sooo cold.

[@RCodyWanner]

ahah thank you so much Raul!

[@BradPeens]

Cody always being real, uncomfortable real. saying like it is the way only Cody can say it, just keep going you have come this far. 64k people I mean com on !!

[@RCodyWanner]

❤️🚀🚀

[@finnagainandagain]

Thank you for sharing your art Cody. You have inspired me for so many years and I have immense gratitude and appreciation for you. It's crazy how much impact a little play button can have. Keep being a true person. It's refreshing to see on the infinite void that has become the internet. Be well and take care now.

[@RCodyWanner]

🙏 thank you so much!! honored!!

[@FeelingsOHome]

Love the 4:3 setup! I've seen some people try to use it but for some reason it doesn't resonate as much as your video. Also i remember when you started off the cold plunges and you were shivering then throughout the experience and now you just sit down and chill. Human bodies are awesome!

[@RCodyWanner]

yes!!! I was just thinking about that as well - truly very awesome how we are able to adapt!

[@NorthMaybe]

Music was top notch it built up with what you were saying perfectly..... I'm not sure what you do after a cold plunge, but i would need a hot shower lol...Brrrr

[@RCodyWanner]

why thank you!!

[@JeremyTGrant]

isnt that the best cup of coffee ever! Loved this man keep inspiring!

[@RCodyWanner]

it 100% is as thank you for the idea!!

[@SteveSacramento]

Wow! Not me! You rock Cody! Long time watcher here, keep it up!

[@OverlandTrailer]

Dude! Exactly my combo. Tea in the plunge. Now you know why I Love it. Mushroom broth is also good!

[@RCodyWanner]

awww yeah!!

[@MrPfifeDawg]

There was something very moving about this vlog. Good choice of music, composition with the closeups etc. well done Cody. Good day to you sir! Keep up the inspiring work!

[@RCodyWanner]

thank you!!

[@HayseFilms]

Beautiful message! Loving it! Thank you for sharing! That cold plunge tho. #Savage

[@RCodyWanner]

so glad it resonated!! 🙏🏼

[@mlegrand]

Interesting aspect ratio here Cody. Stay cool buddy. 🥶

[@RCodyWanner]

captured in vertical but didn't want to go full 9:16 on youtube 😂 -- went 4:3

[@mlegrand]

@@RCodyWanner - I just thought you wanted me to feel nostalgic about the good old days when those sub zero weeks last a bit longer.

[@dtpennington]

I hope you have a bell or something you can ring to get help when you accidentally freeze yourself into the tub. But I needed to hear the message, even if it hurt to watch all of that ice.

[@RCodyWanner]

thank you! and glad it resonated!!

[@scottmckenna]

Loved this. The beginning was great. Great music choice.

[@RCodyWanner]

thanks man 🙏🏼

[@DadDare]

I like the close up shots

[@christinecamley]

This is a beautiful, moving, amazing video! Thanks Cody!

[@RCodyWanner]

thanks so much Christine!

[@christinecamley]

@@RCodyWanner You are so welcome! 🙂

[@MichaelMinneboo]

I guess we can say that you are the COOLEST vlogger on KZbin now :) Cool video, Cody.

[@RCodyWanner]

hahaha i love it!

[@SusannahPerri]

OMG, so crazy, Cody!! 😮

[@Brandon4Weiss]

maybe it's the music, but I was a little worried that was the last we were gonna see of ol' Cody ever again for a second there 😂 Glad that ice didn't freeze over on ya buddy 🥶

[@RCodyWanner]

haha surely the music, i had that vibe while editing too

[@jdstrobist]

👀💥Unbelievable, but true😱 you are very inspirational Cody. A real legend in my mind 👍😎✌️

[@RCodyWanner]

I really appreciate that!! lets get this thing!

[@JacobCarlson]

Wildly impressive and a great message 👏👏👏

[@RCodyWanner]

❤️ thanks so much Jacob!!!

[@AndreSjoberg]

Love it :) And the 4:3, good times, works great for certain types of videos :) Also, just wanted to say thanks: Been watching your stuff for a while, finally made a couple of videos at the end of year, and got my first one this year out last saturday, and suddenly yesterday it popped off and got almost 400 views in 24 hours - and that would probably never have happened if it wasn’t for people like you, so thanks, and enjoy that coffee :)

[@RCodyWanner]

i just love to hear it!!! thanks so much!!

[@jamestheredd]

A more healthy, optimized, and productive version of myself is what I obsess about. And I agree, I don't have time for what other people think when I am thinking about that. 💪🏻

[@Wesley-Insley-Comedy]

The ice Yamaka at the end killed me

[@RCodyWanner]

hahahaha

[@GarthEnsley]

Cody you are an inspiration , you have been working hard at this thing never giving up and always positive as a small youtuber from South Africa who is still trying to get to 10k you give me hope and inspiraton to keep going , and so dig you keeping fit and strong and plunging like a machine. Have a most excellent day. G

[@RCodyWanner]

thanks you so much!!! lets get it!!

[@Penfriendrocks]

I love this video and this message, thanks for the reminder Cody! And wow, huge kudos to you for being able to think vaguely straight while in an ice tub...brrrrrrrrrr

[@RCodyWanner]

haha i think it makes me think even clearer honestly! i don't like i said "um" once in the whole monologue -- made editing really easy! i think i just slowed down and thought about my words before i said them -- i was in there for 9 mins 30 seconds 🥶🥶

[@davidr7236]

​@@RCodyWanner please keep Amber nearby or a phone or cowbell or something. I know there's all the science on how great these things are, just wouldn't want a shock like that to be accidentally not what your body needs on some random day. Brave, man.

[@RCodyWanner]

@@davidr7236 very true! thank you!! 🙏🏼

[@BenjaminMedlock]

Great as always. LETS GET THIS THING!

[@RCodyWanner]

🙏🏼🙏🏼 thank you!!

[@DennisPoulette]

I am cold now. But I love what you said. People are kinda funny that way…crazy comments that look to pick a fight and then move on with their day.

[@RCodyWanner]

haha sorry to make you cold!! and i agree -- crazy indeed

[@VidadePaiOficial]

I’d like more videos 😢 that’s the true, you inspired so much from the other side of planet! I miss your daily 😅

[@RCodyWanner]

🙏🏼 thank you!! more on the way! I miss my ddaily too!

[@JustinLewisWeb]

Loved the music selection man. Very relaxing and helped me get through a set of pushups I didn’t want to do haha.

[@RCodyWanner]

haha i love that. I am gonna do a set right now you've inspired me.

[@TheWayneReport]

I don’t talk about you…. Promise. 😜😎. Be the best version of yourself. Always. Unless you can be a unicorn. Then be a freaking Unicorn! - your kids would agree. Ps: even the best me couldn’t get in that tub! Good job Cody!

[@RCodyWanner]

haha thank you!! and agree - be the unicorn version of yourself at all costs

[@clarkeemalarkee]

Holy hell, you got so RED. That's terrifying, but also inspiring. It's a goal of mine to get back into content creation more consistently this year so this message is much needed! Hopefully get to see you this year too! Lmk if you're ever coming out to my area!

[@RCodyWanner]

yes man!!!! lets get this thing!!!

[@ZdenkaDarula]

I loved it.... I am frozen looking at you.... How can you do this???? I will never understand

[@RCodyWanner]

thanks so much!! it feels great afterward, that's the only way haha

[@LivingLifewithJudith]

Very true... but people on the internet are not as scared to say weird/bad/sometimes horrific stuff that would never be said in a face to face situation. Got to have thick skin "here". Take care!

[@RCodyWanner]

very very true - i always try to remember that too

[@timovehkaoja]

Never stop making videos, Cody. Never.

[@RCodyWanner]

🫡 you have my word

[@KBlidkvist]

Nice plunge! Keep it up!

[@KostasLazanas]

Checkin in on you buddy. Lookin great! Keep getting it.

[@RCodyWanner]

👏🏼🚀 thanks Kostas!!!

[@philoupc2239]

So well done Cody 👌

[@RCodyWanner]

ah thank you so much!!

[@DarzRojas]

Love love love the series of shots at the beginning. SO good. Also yes, such true thoughts. I'm very impressed how calmly you said all that with ice sitting on your chest lol xD

[@RCodyWanner]

haha thank you!!!!

[@KrizAkoni]

Really liking the intensity and message in this one…the 4:3 adds something unexpected that works with this.

[@RCodyWanner]

thank you! it wasn't on purpose, but became and interesting limitation to encourage creativity

[@motivationtheoryrunning]

I have been doing this for 9 years. At this point i just feel bad for people who write nasty things on videos that are just people living their lives or helping or entertaining people online...how sad of a person does one have to be to use time out of their day to try to make someone feel bad for just being themselves?

[@RCodyWanner]

YEP. great perspective. Hopefully they can find the light!!

[@AshleyMurphyArt]

“I should’ve done this before”😂

[@TouchLifeStudio]

Well said Cody! Don’t let the cold water or cold people stop you from expressing yourself!

[@RCodyWanner]

haha well said!!

EMBRACE YOU! Love this message! ❤

[@RCodyWanner]

ah man thanks!! and thanks for sending that written down quote!

[@cwTheDrummist]

@@RCodyWanner It was a great quote!

[@AshleyMurphyArt]

What’s this new video format? I like!

[@RCodyWanner]

it is 4:3 Ashley!! A throwback to my very first sony handy cam!! I actually didn't use it by choice, I captured this for instagram (vertical) but after it was over, decided I wanted it on YT - so I had to improvise!

[@AshleyMurphyArt]

@@RCodyWanner awesome… figured that was this case… always a great leader showing others to just go with it regardless making the best of it!!!!! Keep creating friend!

Да ты гребенный супермен!?!?!! Я бы бе годовой подготовки так не стал бы делать. А то и пару лет на подготовку через контрастный душ

haha thank you!! i did cold plunges last year, and cold showers before that! so i did sort do exactly what you said!

[@OaklynMediaLLC]

New aspect ratio for this one?

[@RCodyWanner]

yes 4:3! i was originally creating this vid for IG, so i was capturing vertical -- when i decided it should be on KZbin i had to reframe in post!

[@OaklynMediaLLC]

@@RCodyWanner I've noticed a lot of music videos being done in 4:3 because it plays on mobile without rotating and fills the whole screen. Now that I bring it up, you'll be noticing all the time haha
