World Class Weekly

Episode 036 AKA The Last Days of a Dynasty?

On this episode, David and Cody are joined by World Class Rookie manager Shane Moore (current team name: What Can Brown Do For You?) Cody takes a moment to run some more victory laps over his historic championship season in the first (and only?) year of World Class Rookies Dynasty League. The trio discuss the current unknown status of the league. Is it cooked for good? Will it continue in another form? Several options are discussed. JUST IN CASE there is more dynasty fantasy football to come, the hosts hold a mock draft on air to showcase the first round offerings and what each team could expect to land with a first pick. Shane offers up some data on Team Power Rankings for Dynasty, and the episode closes with Cody learning how little David really knows about Cody's family. As always, thanks for listening! Please share your thoughts, comments, suggestions, and questions!

Episode 035 AKA All Hail the Dynasty King

Surprise, Rookies! David and Cody are BACK and bringing you a post-season wrap up episode! David kicks off the show by welcoming the NEWEST (and some are saying GREATEST) champion to the table of World Class Rookies champion, CODY STAUFFER HIMSELF. Cody, David, and special guest Jake Cederwall do a little catching up, and then discuss some of the reasons why Cody had such a dominating season. The trio also discuss the surprising fourth place finish of the Catfishers, who were the pre-season favorites to win it all. Commissioner CeeDee shares some of the important upcoming dates, and all three give some tips on how to handle the offseason, and what to expect at the first Rookie draft of the Dynasty format. As usual, please share your thoughts on the episode, and give us your take on the 2024 season that is now officially in the books. Feel free to comment on the historic domination by Cody and The Fighting Amish as well! Thanks for listening!

Episode 034 AKA This One Deserves a Nobel Peace Prize

This week's epsiode is GROUNDBREAKING! David and Cody host none other than Tahj Bomar, AKA The Catfishers, AKA "I'm 1-2 in the Hamburger Helper Bowl." Since this is the week of the PREMIER rivalry in the World Class Rookies, of course Tahj is on, and of course Cody and Tahj rehash a little Hamburger Helper Bowl history. Tahj first offers up some biographical information-- including what his middle name is! -- before Cody pulls out a TWIST! Normally, Cody hosts a trivia face-off between David and the guest; but on this episode Cody points out that, while he and Tahj have the best rivalry in the league with The Hamburger Helper Bowl, it feels as though David and Tahj have a bitter rivalry, one in need of some resolution. It's here that Cody reveals A SECOND SPECIAL GUEST, one with a background in relationship counseling and conflict resolution. Using his lazer-like insight, the guest soon has David and Tahj reconnecting. Wounds, healed. Bridges, repaired. Relationship, restored. This episode definitely deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. Oh, and of course Tahj and Cody go head-to-head in a weekly pick 'em, where Cody remains undefeated. Make sure you share your thoughts on the episode in the text thread, on Polo, or here in the comments. As always, thanks for listening!

Episode 033 AKA This One's Out of This World

On this week's episode, the fellas are joined by league member Tyson Tucker! Cody kicks off the episode with a quick discussion about Halloween candy, followed by a quick introduciton and bio from Tyson. David and Tyson go head to head in a trivia showdown, featuring questions about space, sci-fi movies, and Tennessee vs. Oregon history. Keep track of how many you get right to find out if you would have topped this week's winner! Then Cody and Tyson face-off in a little league pick 'em action, before the episode wraps up with Tyson and David trading some SEC vs. PAC barbs (all in good fun, of course!) Let us know what you think in the text thread, through comments on the podcast page, or over on Marco Polo. Cody wants to know if YOU'VE tried the Ghost Toast KitKat, his selection for Halloween Candy of the Year. As always, thanks for listening!

Episode 032 AKA Annie's Version

On this week's episode of WCW David and Cody are joined by special guest, Annie Layton, aka Sneaky Petes. Annie gives a little biography, talks about her experience with fantasy football and how she's liking dynasty football so far, plus registers her complaint about the Matchup against the Median format. Annie gets put to the test on her Taylor Swift knowledge in a head-to-head matchup against David in a Swiftie Trivia contest. And while the final result might not surprise you, perhaps how CLOSE of a contest it was might! David wraps up the episode by pitting Cody and Annie against each in a pick 'em battle and a Hard Pass, Full Glass contest (Cody remains undefeated until David finally tabulates the results from previous weeks). Please let us know what you think about the episode in our text thread, on Polo, OR by leaving a comment on the episode page. Yes, you CAN do that, as Tahj knows-- we FINALLY approved his comments for public display TWO MONTHS after he made them because we didn't realize we had to approve them first! But we have that figured out so please leave those comments! And, as always, thanks for listening!
