WHO WE ARE
Licensed & Unhinged is the podcast where two wildly different careers crash headfirst into chaos, absurdity, and situations so insane you’ll wonder if anyone survives spoiler: they did. Cody is an insurance man crisscrossing the country, trying to plant his roots, make a buck, and somehow avoid turning every day into a disaster movie. Chris is a pastor who planted one church in West Virginia but somehow managed to stumble into enough ridiculous, jaw-dropping, and occasionally terrifying moments to fill a season of podcasts all on his own. And now he’s here, the heroic pastor trying to save Cody from the metaphorical “ring of fire” he keeps stepping into… mostly unsuccessfully.
They’ve never worked together, but their lives share one thing in common: wild stories so unbelievable, you’ll think someone made them up except they’re 100% real, with witnesses to prove it. From getting hopelessly lost in the middle of nowhere, to being chased by angry mobs, to nearly being held captive, the chaos is nonstop, the laughs are guaranteed, and the stories will make you question everything you thought was “normal.”
Equal parts hilarious, insane, and totally unfiltered, Licensed & Unhinged is your front-row seat to the absurd, the chaotic, and the absolutely human moments that most people only whisper about… if they survive to tell the tale. Buckle up, because this isn’t just storytelling—it’s a masterclass in mayhem.
BEHIND THE MICS
Cody
Cody is an insurance man who’s spent years working all over the country and collecting more wild, hilarious, and downright unbelievable stories than he can count. He started this podcast with his partner-in-crime, Chris, to finally share the chaos, the laughs, and the conversations that probably shouldn’t stay off the record. Now he’s nestled in the West Virginia mountains with his beautiful wife, two amazing stepkids, and his irrepressible dogs, Riley and Remmy, Where life might look calm… but with Cody around, the stories are never finished.
Chris
Chris is a pastor, husband, dad, teacher… and somehow he ended up on a podcast with Cody.
Most of his life is spent teaching students, preaching truth, raising kids, loving his wife, and trying to keep everyone alive, fed, and moderately respectful. He believes faith should be lived, not just talked about, parenting is the hardest leadership role on the planet, and laughter is often the only thing holding the whole operation together.
Chris doesn't have all the answers, but he's got stories, opinions, a Bible that’s seen some wear, and a deep suspicion of anything that sounds too polished.
