Opi & the Bear

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 we are 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 -...

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 bante...

This starts out with the boys doing a 8-team fantasy draft including 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 wi...

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,...

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 ga...

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...

It's been a bit, so we spent time just shooting the shit and having 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 hittin...

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...

We spend a lot of this trying to play a little catch up from the lost 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...

This isn't about us...it's about a dear friend so please listen!!

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...

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 wit...

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...

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. Show Me Some Love by Bear - 3:37; Opi's NCAA Bowl Game Update - 10:23; NFL Auction Update - 13:40; Black Monday NFL Chat - 16...

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 mo...

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...

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 &quo...

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. Plus, we talk in depth about the games this weekend and give some pretty outstanding insight about the NFL matchups that are going  to be 100% incorrect. Show Me Some Love - 7:21; AJ's Distillery Talk - 21:09; Ryan's Brewery - 24:...

We're back in full force this week as we give a recap on grand-papa Bear and his heart surgery. We then go into the normal podcast stuff. Make sure to catch Bear's Blunder this week as we had a riot recapping how last week went without Bear. Opi & Bear go through the  playoff possibilities for both conferences which may give you a headache as it did us! Grandpa Behrens Update - 4:28; S...

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...

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! Show M...

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...

Opi just COULDN'T RESIST getting Bear all worked up about the Cubs coaching move right off the bat. We get a lot more light hearted after that though and everyone gets a little giggly for a while. We also bring El Hoker in the house to make it a very full house, but the podcast stayed strong and all the guys had a good time! We add in some FBFL Playoff Predictions at the end, who is going to b...

AJ had to work thanks to Halloween getting in the way and the Produca Ryan fell ill and was not feeling it. They completed their write ups but were not available for speak so Bear, Grimbo, and Opi took this podcast and ran, which is easier to do without AJ, he no run. Bear is the Produca this week and by the end, they BEG for Ryan to be back next week!! Show Me Some Love - 3:29; AJ's Distiller...

Opi is just crabby right out of the gate! We talk a little MLB which gets Bear and Opi into a hilarious heated shouting match at each other with neither of them listening to the other. Don't worry, it was all for fun, but it was aggressive. We go on to talk quite a bit about different NFL and FBFL interests including is the team we like, buying or selling, and who are they looking to buy or se...
