Opi & the Bear Episode 183 - 2025 Brewery Protection...

Opi & the Bear ·

2025/01/24

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

2025/01/17

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

2024/12/06

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

2024/11/22

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. There's a lot of just banter but it gets really silly at the end when we PREDICT THE PLAYOFF TEAMS FOR THE FBFL!!YouTube Link: Opi & the Bear Episode 174 Bear, Grandpa & the Boys 6:15 - League Love 16:38 - Ryan's Dreadful, Disgusting, Deluge of Drama 22:20 -

2024/11/14

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.

2024/11/01

Week 8 starts the wind up to the wind down and we spend a LOT of time just talking football itself. Of course fantasy rules the roost here but just talking NFL with a lot of liveliness. You also get the best of both worlds thanks to the spirit of Halloween as Opi spends a lot of time changing his masks so you don't have to look at that mug the whole time. Grimbo comes in HOT with a lot of GM questions for both the NFL & the fantasy league stirring up some great conversation. Lastly, as we

2024/10/25

Why did we call it "The Grim Episode" and he's noteven in studio? Because it's short and stubby, that's why! It was literally Opi & the Bear so we cut out a lot of extra and just talked football and then fantasy. We keep it pretty upbeat but definitely miss the troops!

2024/10/17

We get Grimbo back this week so we're at full force as wecontinue along our merry ways of getting most predictions wrong. It's more of the same for the most part but Opi & Bear introduce and explain the leagues "Grudge Week" and they discuss the matchups and even give the games bowl names. We come up with some stupid but fun names for bowl games so the NCAA may want to have a listen in case they're tired of stupid shit like the Tostitos Bowl or the Duke's Mayo Bowl……just awful!

Bear is starting to get some production value on YouTube as he's learning the software and how to create scenes. Next up, trying to figure out how to get Opi's mic to be a little louder, but then again, that may work against the crew and we may lose watchers/listeners. Bear did forget the record button and we figured it out about 10 minutes in and we started over, but we got it all. We also added in some visuals for certain sections so you can actually see what we're talking about. Other than that,

We did it! Back on video and this one is pretty fun both onvideo and on the audio alone. Bear did play around with transitions for the video side of things giving some more visuals as we talk showing close ups as we talk, predictions and the weekly hottie that Opi chooses. As far as content, it's the usual except we're missing AJ though he dials in from work, listens, and fires off the occasional text for us to read to the listener. We had a fun night of chatter and are learning to spend a lot more

<sigh> Stupid Bear!! The guy who has worked hard on getting us up and running on YouTube made a rookie mistake and forgot to hit the "Record" button for video. We also changed a setting that MICROSOFT SUGGESTED we change for better sound quality and it causes a cut out if there are multiple sounds going, thanks for that Microsoft!! We finally got good sound and in a week, back to bullshit. Other than that, we had a prettygood podcast and we're giving advice as to who to play for

We've been doing a podcast about our fantasy football league for several years now and thought we'd try out best at getting to the next level of technology and introduce ourselves to YouTube. We spend a lot of time with FBFLtalk along with our usual mix of just talking about fantasy football. We go over how we did in our predictions along with some predictions for week 3s fantasy players and as always, go off into stupid tangents with silly banter and some normal singing between Ryan &

I give this podcast a C+. All our sound issues are worked out and we're actually practicing video to try to get a YouTube channel up and going. The grading, yeah, because we grade the Brewery Conference and since weare all in it, it's not easy to do. Also, Bear had a golf outing the day of recording so there's a lot of nonsense and slurred words cut out LOL! 3:35 - Show me some love - changed this year to 1 league of Ryan's choice and then he'll go over the survivor, NFL pick,

One of the better, well rounded podcasts and we're not just talking about AJ. We have some fun and interesting predictions and then go into the draft grades for the Distillery league. If you're not in the FBFL, don't worry because during the grading we discuss fantasy players and what round they went in at LENGTH so you don't need to be part of the league to enjoy the fantasy banter!1:38 - Quick chat about the draft, the golf outing, and the rotisserie draft. 8:27 - NFC Predictions
