Opi & the Bear ·

2025/08/16

We continue the Distillery player protection predictions and this one has an interruption from friend of the podcast and Bear's least favorite daughter, Kayla and granddaughter Kinsley as Kayla tells us a story about her kids having some shart issues and pooping on the kids toilet out by the pool, it's an intriguing story and discussion. Bear also complains a little about the cost of the NFL ticket that automatically got tacked on again this year. We day "ado" to a long-time FBFL

Smelling salts are now illegal, Shedeur is moving up the depth chart quickly, Cleveland QB room, some injury and contract dispute discussions, and then after all that chat, we hammer the Distillery Conference Protection Predictions and this is the first half of the discussion with the 2nd half coming out next week. This prediction is about certain teams but realistically, we spend a lot of time discussing player value, round they should go, and other intricacies of fantasy drafting.YouTube Link: Opi

Opi & the Bear Episode 189 - We are Back…back again

Opi & the Bear ·

2025/08/01

Hi…we are still alive!! We come back very loosie goosy and just have a good time. We talk a little MLB, golf, NFL, and our rotisserie draft. Bear goes off on gutless Jed (Hoyer) while Opi gives praises to the White Sox and their moves. We spend some time giving Grim and his Steeler fans shit about Rodgers but have a fun time with it, nothing gregarious. Then we chat about the Bears and the hope that most of us no longer have. Opi likes the Seahawks defense this year but is questioning the offense

Opi & the Bear Episode 188 - High & Hungry

2025/04/20

The 2nd part of episode 187 and it's a little different but very light hearted and was a lot of fun. We spend most of the time talking turkey, literally, as we go into a big section speaking of the local cuisine here in the QC and what we like and don't like. It transcends into us putting the pictures of the food from the restaurants on the screen and chatting about them at length. Maybe it's not your cup of tea, maybe it is, but changing up a little and getting away from the world of

Oops dude…sorry Opi. We really open this just trashing the guy, after that, it's really just all over the place and we throw sports in there. AJ, Kipp, & Bear chat for a while. We rip open some baseball cards and go through them. Doesn't take long and we got some good cards. Then we just ramble about things. We talk about the guys jobs, Kipp's Only Fans, some baseball, NFL draft day, and then Ryan shows up and the gummies kick in and we do get off the rails a little. We do get our

We just wanted to get together to make sure you guys didn't completely forget about us! We get some preseason baseball chat in and then follow up with some fun NCAA men's basketball talk and go over the auction that we do every year including the go over the how we do the money and payouts so it gives good context to a fun way to make the tournament a little more exciting. Then we go strong watching a turtle blow a fat load all over a group of redneck's patio. If you don't understand

2025/02/13

Keep an eye on Bear during this one because he took a gummy about an hour before hand and though he doesn't feel the buzz that much, it definitely hit him as his body freezes up a few times throughout this episode. We just talk football for the most part. We brief on a couple other subjects and Ryan starts us with some headlines which we've come to enjoy. We do get both sides of the coin on the SB Halftime show since Ryan & AJ enjoyed but Opi & Bear were not as impressed…."GET

We DID IT!! We have good sound! We have good video!! We have a friggin MIRACLE!! Hopefully, we can keep that rolling but of course, no promises. Along with the weird idea that the technology actually worked, we spend most of this one just off the cuff chatting about the FBFL Meeting, our fantasy Basketball league, putting the fantasy Baseball league together and you get to witness AJ kicking his cousin out of the league, we then talk about the names of Opi's daughter's team since she'll

OK, we officially hate technology. From a podcast standpoint, all is good. The sound was good this week and everyone was able to be heard. From a YouTube standpoint, not so good. Our "server" for video has gone to hell in a hand basket and you get still frames throughout the whole video with a change in still frame every few minutes. Time for new hardware again. We chat about the coaching hirings that occurred this week. We chat about the MLB Hall of Fame voting, with a little bit of

I swear to GOD we can't get anything to work right anymore. Bear turned on surround sound 2.1 on the software and put a delay in to synch our mouths and for some reason, that froze the video completely…<sigh>. Technology is great when it works which we're finding is very seldom. We also miss AJ & Ryan as Ryan was home with a sick child…again, and AJ slept through his alarm…again. We do give our protection predictions for the Distillery league, otherwise known as the B league. We

We get our buddy Grimbo back in action and his mic was offpretty much the whole time so there's that…BUT we have an incredible amount of banter going back and forth and have a LOT of fun with it. This one had a lot of laughs and was just flat out fun. We have some major issues until the 11:56 mark when our recording server blew a gasket and lost a wheel, but we replaced and kept on keeping on! The good part is you mainly miss Opi just running his yap! Make sure you check out the NFL song again as

Happy New Year to all!! And with a new year comes the excitement of a championship! We break down the championship game as both sides of the league need to make solid pickups and try to prove they are the best owners in the league. Opi goes on a little rant about the college football season as if he's an old man yelling about not liking things that change. At one time, AJ explains to the guys what a labia is and how it looks using his jacket. Intriguing science for those who need to learn. This

Ho, ho, holy cow the playoffs are going HARD! Bear starts thisbad boy out with a nice little joke and then the boys are off and running as we run down the how Ryan has done in the other leagues, then chat about the who-gives-a-shit bowl, and then get into the important stuff which is your FBFL playoffs including doing some GM talk about the teams remaining and giving our usual bold predictions. The boys look pretty festive even though Opi's colors are black and white, like his humor…noooo, that was

2024/12/21

We have our new mixer and have a different set up to make it work and it was an OK start. The sound is good, but Bear had a TON of editing to do because Opi was super loud while we were super soft, so you'll hear some fluctuation in the voices this time around. Bear did figure out the issue and will have a better sound next time. We predict the playoffs again this week along with GMing some of the playoff teams. Next week we will try to hammer one out on Christmas Eve but not sure how soon Bear will

Grimbo is BACK! And so are we…at being bad at everything LOL! We had some MORE technical issues but we were able to plow through it without issues believe it or not! The GM session this time is off the hook as we talk about the 33s, Maniacs, Troopers, Fumbduckers, and Stalkers who all need help with their teams this week despite being in the post-season already. LT (LaDainian Tomlinson) is the man for the NFL preview this week and it is absolutely LIT!! So, LIT…for LT, so no "I" in LIT for

Grimbo is still missing, rumor is he's the cabinet member forTrump as the Liaison to Height Challenged Individuals. With him missing, we bring Opi back into the house and we have a nice dinner that has been owed to Bear for about a year. We do the usual and then during the Ominous Thoughts and Blunder of Wonder we run down the playoff picture and it's a DISASTER! But we'll get it all worked out! It always seems to run pretty well when Opi is in house because the talking is easier, but he always

This is normal except we lost Grimbo for the week as he travels to do something with someone that we really didn't care about. This is a normal podcast for the guys and about half way through we do pay a little tribute to our buddy Jerry Myers who passed away a short while ago. He's the father of FBFLer Bob Myers. Lots of talk about the RB points this week and how they've exploded and of course, if you haven't heard it yet, the GMing we do for other teams always gets fun conversations going.YouTube

As it says above, we are without our buddy Opi today as he made out with Bear at poker and caught the Dominican Black Lung disease. Bear does his best Opi impersonation by sucking at introductions, but we had a lot of laughs anyway.

Bear brought back some 3rd world disease and is on severaldifferent medications that make him tired and weird. Ryan & AJ make up for it as they have some massive amount of cross-talk going on today which makes the points hard to hear, but makes the commentary a lot more giggly. We do some chit-chat about the past couple weeks and then roll on through some Fantasy GM'ing of other teams and then call it a little earlier than usual so Bear doesn't fall asleep at the wheel.
