Opi & the Bear Episode 163 - Fantasy Fantasy Fantasy!!!

Opi & the Bear ·

2024/08/14

This starts out with the boys doing a 8-team fantasy draftincluding the OatB group and a couple outsiders. It sounds boring, but there's a LOT of fantasy talk about when to take a player, who is possibly falling in the ranks and who is rising. We talk about what round players should get picked, if they should be a starter, and then bring back AJ's games. This one was very light hearted with a lot of laughs and sober people! 5:04 - The Boys are Drafting Bear's Chats What Round Do They

2024/08/09

The timeline below tells the story! The boys got the band back together to talk football since it's right around the corner and they were so excited about this, Bear, AJ, and Ryan shot 18 prior to the podcast and then had dinner at Parkside where shots were the main course. This falls apart early and fast but if you can keep up, there's some funny stuff in there! Somehow within this mess, we draft a fantasy team, not well mind you, but we did it! The ending becomes funny and intriguing so

2024/06/11

It's been a minute and we decided to just get together and chat about a few things that are going on in the sports world. Listen up and get an update of AJ's story about his cancer surgery, Bear's story about being late for a tee time, and some interesting sports chatter as we get away from the robotic-ness of our previous format and just try to let it flow. At the end we play an AJ game and Bear has a couple intriguing questions to think about. The time of activity is below BUT we do a

Opi & the Bear - Episode 160 - Pre-Draft Draft Stuff

Opi & the Bear ·

2024/04/23

We wanted to put something out so everyone knew who we picked for the NFL draft contest! You beat our combined picks, you win 25 bucks fresh out of Bear's pocket! This starts out pretty quiet as it's Bear and Opi just chatting and then AJ comes in straight from the links to join in about 1/3rd of the way through. We have some fun trying to figure out who the heck a couple of AJs picks were, because he didn't know either!

Opi & the Bear ·

2024/04/03

It's been a bit, so we spent time just shooting the shit andhaving fun with it. Ryan has a quick announcement about his future with the podcast and then we jump into a fun FBFL night that included Bear drinking with an 80 year old woman named Connie, that he kept calling Deb. We then move to chat about all things sports and towards the end, the boys got giggly as the 10mg gummy started hitting Bear HARD.

2024/03/06

It's the offseason…what do YOU WANT FROM US?!?! Yeah, we could only do so much but we always have some lively fun talks. This week, during Ryan's Love section, we get into who is going to be making the playoffs in the hockey and basketball league and how a couple people can weasel their way in. During the Love section, Bear tells you what NFL players NOT to draft in 2024!! You've been warned! We talk MLB, NFL, and then finish with some games. We get a little goofy later in it, but it was

Opi & the Bear ·

2024/02/21

We spend a lot of this trying to play a little catch up from thelost weeks of technical issues, but we also finalize a lot of things like some of the money winners from leagues other than the FBFL, the predictions, and the end of an era where Grimbo rides off into the night on his White Shetland Pony. You can tell these guys haven't gotten together in a while as the giggling was all over the place. If nothing else, go to the end and listen to the sad song Bear put together for Grim's send

2024/02/03

We got no produca, so we got no love this week as Bear really just didn't want to look anything up, so we go straight into some baseball free agents and have fun with that. We do, however, get a surprise guest with the founder of Grinder, Marcus Laethum coming on site to hang with us. We do have a weird transition early on due to some speak that shall not be played on the air, listen for that as it ended up being a funny transition. We do our Stupid Bowl stuff and then really start losing

2024/01/25

We do some shit talking about mega-agent Scott Boras and then end up spending time getting wet over his daughter…look her up! We go over what we think is the perfect woman for AJ…and fail. AJ and Bear get into a little argument about Brock Purdy and his abilities. We also spend too much time looking at some ladies and commenting on that, though this is AJs best breakdown of the year. We finish with some real fun predictions of certain activities we feel may happen in this weekend's games. Show

Holy CRAP do the boys have some energy this week. Grim & Bear yell at each other. Ryan & AJ can't shut the F up, Opi shows his frustration, it's like the old days of podcasting again and is fun to listen to! Ryan's Love section gets incredibly weird a couple times as we go off into some really disturbing tangents. At the end, the guys really have a lot of fun breaking down the upcoming games and, though most don't care about our picks, the discussions are a good time and fun

Bear ate a little too much of a special cookie and was pretty out of it for the last half of this one. We do the normal and give some updates followed by some FBFL chat and then some predictions. Bear made a special tribute song to our Champion Kyler of the Jelly Rolls.

2024/01/04

We start out with the normal intro and then get into some family chat about how Grandpa Behrens is doing, and then we intro a new Opi & the Bear member Lauren Melissa Behrens who was born just before the New Year. The guys talk quite a bit of golf prior to getting going into the fun stuff. We spend quite a bit of time trying to figure out players who can replace those sitting in week 18 and moves the playoff teams can make. Good luck to the Anacondas & Jelly Rolls who are in the championship

If you like Grimbo, you'll love this one because he has an echo, or as the pro's call it, he has a little reverb. This makes him tough to understand most the time but he always sounds like he has a dick in the mouth anyway, so you may not notice. We go VERY deep into the playoff matchups and give our thoughts on possible changes teams can make to solidify their team for the week. Bear has a database that has 30 years of stats in it and loves to bust it out to give some history on the two

2023/12/22

The boys got Dak'd! And they voice their anger about it early. We skip a lot of the normal sections and really just get down to the brass tax on the FBFL playoffs that happened week 1 and that will happen week 2. We also go further in depth about our thoughts for who to play for the playoff fantasy teams and Bear has an interesting finding on how the FBFL does in NFL picks compared to the "experts" that get paid. You'll want to hear this and pat yourselves on the back FBFL

This episode is mainly about the playoffs in all the different leagues with the number 1 concern, of course, being the FBFL and how the playoff picture ended up.

2023/11/29

This one is Bear-less, so maybe it's Opi and the guys, but Opi's mic sucked the whole time, so maybe it's just called The Guys, but then that's probably already taken so maybe it's Ryan & the Fat Man, or Cuz Love. We don't know but it was quiet without Bear and with Opi's mic issues. That being said, Grimbo gets his first shot at his own section, listen and find out how he does along with all our predictions for the upcoming playoff implicating week! Show Me Some Love

This is a short one, which will upset some, and make others happy but F those people. This show is a wild and wacky, or probably really boring, not sure as the group could not get together this week but wanted to get something out. So we all recorded our sections, sent them to Bear for him to piece this mess together. Some sections may be smoother, some are going to be a shit show…so enjoy!

Bear starts out showing the boys the numbers between Counsel and Rossy and then we go into a great memory of when we learned he was a great guy. Jody sent in a funny song we put on the air for everyone to enjoy. Bear picked a couple disgusting songs for the guys this week, we'll get that cleaned up next week for everyone. Also listen for Bear to just lose complete concentration a couple times causing a Mitch McConnell moment, thanks to the title. Show Me Some Love - 9:08; AJ's Distillery
