It seems to me that Cody stood by his principles.I could picture the scene."Cody, we want you and Joe to do this really stupid, dangerous and needless thing/stunt." Then Cody's reply would be,"No #*%@% way".The producers would say do it or yer fired.Cody's reply "well I'm fired"....
JMHO

I respect Cody
