Your body can use alcohol as an energy source in place of food if you're an alcoholic, which will cause you to visibly "slim down" while your health deteriorates. It depends on a lot of factors. It'll be tougher with something like beers which causes men to produce estrogen and therefore store fat.

His sugary drink mixes won’t help either. He can’t drink anything without Mountain Dew it seems

 

[The REAL MagnaRyuu]

Cobes is gonna get so FAT in the next 5 years. It's gonna be hilarious. Notice he doesn't flex or show off on stream anymore, because he's turning into the Pillsbury dough boy. Not even the Boglim Delusions can convince Josh the mirror is lying. Can't wait to see how big the gunt gets.

“My ass- MY ASSCHEEKS don’t clap when I walk that comment just got you blocked. How can my fucking ass clap if it doesn’t even have hands? My trolls are so dumb it’s pathetic, YouTube. Welp, gonna grab another bud light plat from the fridge and end the stream.”

*clap clap clap clap pap pip pap*

Insulin is released when sugar levels in the blood are high. Insulin tells the cells to take up sugar, and make fat out of the sugar. If you completely avoid carbs, then fat storage can't really happen which is the basics of Keto or the Atkins Diet. Pure alcohol does not trigger an insulin response last I looked into it, but the excess carbs in normal beer could.

His amazing metabolism is falling him. Overweight saga coming in nicely toobz.

The sad thing is is that there are people who follow him who try to white knight and help buuuuuuuuuuuut.... he tends to believe the trolls who blow smoke up his ass. For example, when he was being offered that acting contract people were reeing that it was fake, but Cobes refused to believe them. Clint must have tried to talk sense into him too. I doubt ' a decent friend' would make any difference to Cobes' life.

 

[Bixby Snyder]

He only does what he wants too. It’s a sign of his lack of maturity that shitty or unpleasant (non instantly gratifying) work goes unfinished.

If he wants something your opinion either backs up what he already believes (usually delusions) or if you tell him otherwise you are a troll trying to screw him over, even if you sincerely wanted to help him.

He has the brain of an animal. Anyone who thinks they can reason with him deserves all the frustration that comes with such a wasted effort.

 

[TurdFondler]

You can't help anyone unless they want help. Cobes doesn't actually want to change, he just wants what he's already doing to have different results. If he had self reflection and motivation he wouldn't have a thread here, TWU.

Clint is the only one who can stop this drunken shitshow.

I can understand him wanting to let his kid has independence. His 'kid' however is not a normal functioning adult and it's obvious he is fucking circling the drain.

Cobes does seem to somewhat listen to his old man. We don't see all their interactions but it's obvious they talk and cobes will somewhat change his behaviour after a fuck up, if only for a short period of time. I think everyone is right that no one can talk the boglim into trying to fix his situation. He's too fucking delusional and stupid.

However, as a parent of a highly regarded child, Clint has the option to put all this shit to an end. An Involuntary Guardianship would not be hard to enforce on Cobes. He is the literal reason they created it. Someone who cannot take care of themselves, make rational decisions, and are putting themselves in danger. It's usually for addicts and mentally disabled people. I'm sure he is both.

Does he want the dirty alcoholic to be his permanent responsibility? Probably no.

But at the current rate, this will end with Clint making some fucking Facebook post about his son living his 'best life' and 'marching to his own drum'.

iirc, at some point, Cobra had angrily declared he'd be a bum rather than be homed. The logistics of him actually being institutionalized aside (it is still my belief he cannot be put anywhere against his will outside of being arrested) that he'd very much take to slumming should he be put in a position to clean up "or else". In that first documentary, not only did Jarod Brown the Drunken Marine explain to him the life of a bum , but one of the nameless run ins he encounters talks about being poor and having to stay at "The Mission" as a result. I can see him easily, barring some initial difficulties, becoming fond of an idea of just bumming about the city during the day and eating charity food and sleeping on a cot at night.

I think the common opinion is that he's a baby boy at heart and if push comes to shove he'll do whatever it takes to stay in his comfy hole in the ground, but I can just as easily see him making the change to true Sexy Gothic Hobo status and not minding it too much.

How are we seriously back to the "Clint should have parented him better/I could fix him!" discussion? Every other page it's this, over and over, I swear.
Other threads usually never have this discussion, with cobra it's a weekly cycle. What's the deal?

 

[Grift Garrison]

I think its because unlike most other cows, people want to see Josh do well. By cow standards he's as wholesome as it gets, and he's pretty far off the deep end so people want to hope that help is possible.

Because every week it's some new low or deeper delusion. As much as it is funny to laugh at, I cannot help but wonder how the fuck is he being left alone to continue being a drunk piece of shit. There are a lot of drunk pieces of shit but he is highly regarded, which is why it keeps coming back to Clint.

I started following him because he is entertaining -- not to watch someone slowly commit suicide and lose their fucking mind.

I think you are being incredibly dramatic.
You can stop watching at any time btw

Edit to expand my thoughts a bit:
Cobra is doing a lot better than many other people. People always say he is on pills, I flat out don't believe that. His addictions are nicotine and booze. You can do a lot worse than that. When's the last time he went to the hospital? People that are ACTUALLY in really bad health mentally and physically end up being regulars for the EMT. How many fucking ex-alcoholics have we seen come into this thread? Cobra has been drinking 10 years, heavily only 4 maybe. There's a lot more people like that out there than you think. Most of them end up fine.
I just enjoy laughing at his autism tbh

By his own admission he's a recreational pill popper, though I guess at the same time they're not a favorite of his, either.

In regards to his health, I feel like that's really a grey area. The obvious, of course, is his mouth being rotted all to shit and the inevitable problems that will come from that. While I guess he's still in better shape than a lot of other drunkard cows, he's bloating at a blistering pace and I feel like that one time everyone saw him pass out on stream with Darf and yack himself blue is probably happening more often than people realize. I feel like the next couple of years might be a real shitshow for him, considering the brain rot between now and just barely 5 years ago.

Or hell, even 2 years ago.

Here's an older video - titled 'Kingcobrajfs sucks' - of that dude that Cobes did a response video for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRa7dwhzJLw&t=12s&ab_channel=BrianBushfamily

 

[Mr Sister]

If those 2 big lenny cameos can't change cobra, nothing will.

where does he admit this? Haven't seen

Cobes in 10 years?

I'll find links in a bit, but in the Discord leak call he talks (lies) about being sent back from Heaven after OD'ing on "pills with Alex Andersen", and in one of the Bailey videos he says Homebody Scotty "gave her a pain pill he was saving for me to help her after her dog died". He doesn't bring it up a lot, presumably because he knows Homedad will eventually see, but he's dropped it here and there casually enough to demonstrate it's something he indulges with little hesitation.

There are other Sugars in booze that are not Alcohol, they might be identical to glucose but they trigger the same reactions, this isn't limited to Alcohol either, Artifical Sweentners can trigger the same reactions physiologically.

Cobes isn't quite scraping the bottom yet but he's at the point family will start cutting him out and that's what we are seeing with Clint. He wont let him starve or be homeless but he doesnt want him in close proximity to him or the rest of the family but at the moment feels a sense of obligation towards him that's getting lower and lower as time and his problem gets worse.

I'd honestly like a good work up on his drug use, even in passing shitty funny pharms can fuck you up, we all know he smokes weed but given his spending habits and connections I have to believe that it's not always just weed and bulked with other stuff or adulterated in some way, he occasionally acts like a Spice user on stream.

His physical health though is shot not irrecoverably so when it comes to strength or endurance, and he's not doing some stuff that would fry his kidneys (that we know of) but his liver is likely just about working, he makes mixer drinks out of flavored booze regularly and can't do basic social functions without a "Buzz" but if he doesnt stop or seriously cut back soon he will be at the point where he can't function.

I can see what I've been called as mineral cannibalism happening to cobes in 12 months time, if he doesnt get a handle on his drinking where his body needs support for critical functions that he's not feeding and it diping into its emergency stores of them and him starting to look worse than he already is.

Looking at him over videos over the last year I can see a early thinning in his tissues (not his mouth) I'd associate with this he's not rebuilding lost tissues or compensating for that loss, he is visablly getting weaker than he was in his own videos it's slow at the moment but it's going to compound going forward.
