Kevin and Cody think about things too much. Then they talk to each other. Cody over analyzes sociopolitical trends in modern culture while Kevin sniffs his fingers and tells ridiculous jokes.

When eating at restaurants, Kevin will order the calamari and Cody will get the veggie sub with bacon and lemonade.
