Opi & the Bear

Sorry for the back-to-back, but life happens! Yes, high is spelled correctly for all you critics out there. Grimbo had to miss because he was ill, or at least he said he was, but he texted the group 2 minutes after Opi said he was coming in town. Opi said he came into town because he missed everyone. Truth be told, he wanted Portillo's. Things do run smoother when we're all in 1 room thoug...

We start this one off with a pizza, and a strange interview as Josephine, the delivery driver, agrees to sit down and shoot the shat with the guys. During this, we find out that Opi's bragging about knowing the language of love is more like the language of derrrr. We do our usual and then name all the grudge week games. Grandpa Behrens News: 10:43; Show Me Some Love - 13:45; AJ's Distiller...

This is just a typical podcast this week. The boys have a good time finalizing the baseball league and catching you up on the changes being worked on in the rotisserie league. Then we move on to some family favorable music for AJ & Ryan's recap. From there, the normal smack talk begins! We got this one out quick, hope you all enjoy! Show Me Some Love - 5:09; AJ's Distillery Talk - 21:5...

If that title doesn't get you listening, no title will! We have a lengthy "Show Me Your Love" section as the guys really get into having fun with this at Opi and Jody's expense. We follow that with a spirited debate during Opi's Oral piece that was a lot of fun, but got interrupted by the Cubs stupid decision of putting in Smyly every time they have the lead only to watch him...

This week's episode is sans AJ, so that's a bummer, but the big bummer is around the 2 minute mark you can hear about the hard times that long time and original FBFLer Dave Behrens has come across health wise. Please pray and wish him the best! After that, we get down to business with our review of week 2, making fun of Kevin and his injuries, and then get into the predictions! It's a...

For those in the new Rotisserie, not chicken, football league, Bear does a Fantrax 101 class to help you guys understand how to use the software to your advantage. Then we have a spirited discussion surprising things about the first week of the season. Followed up by grades and finally the normal fun predictions that we fail at every week. Lastly, Kyler asked that we add in the time frames of the...

The post draft blues was the theme for Bear, but the rest of the guys were having fun brow beating him for his poor draft. But, we beat up a few teams in this one and give a lot of props. Grimbo joins us again and we're having a heck of a fun time with him joining us this whole time. We also drop in our week 1 predictions to get you all prepared for your fantasy week!

Worked fine a week ago, now it's nothing but echo and it's becoming FRUSTRATING! Plus, this one stopped recording about half way through it…<sigh>…so we finish without the real talent, Ryan and AJ. Grimbo came back to help us out for this whole thing though making it worthwhile to listen to. We talk a little baseball, but spend most of our time looking at the Bud protection. We draft...

This week we bring in podcast buddy Grimbo to run down a few dates coming up including the various different drafts we are partaking in, and a couple golf outings. After that we do have to discuss the glaring opposites that is south side and north side baseball. Then, we get into what we're all waiting for! PREDICTIONS! We predict who the keepers for 2023 are in the Miller league, for non-FBFL...

It's fixed!! Well, mostly. The boys move the show to Bear's house with the better internet and the sound is fixed. Until about 10 minutes in and Mediacom just goes out for no reason! They just can't win!! LOL!! We kept recording during that time and Bear kept some of those in because some of the shit they talked was funny. That being said, they get it back online and get good productio...

We spend all night watching and talking about the MLB Home Run Derby, which was a lot of fun again this year. We did have quite a bit of technical difficulty thanks to T-Mobile's new wireless service at the Produca's house. We do have some weird noise in the background that sounds like someone is playing the tambourine, we apologize for that, changes are underway to fix that. It takes abou...

This one is short! Mainly because we are missing our main mouth! If you're looking for a mostly Opi-less podcast…this one is for you! If Opi is your guy, you may want to pass on this one! Our talent was in Mexico trying to retrieve his wife or something and calls in late into the podcast. On top of that, the boys really mess around with Opi as he's trying to get into the meeting, which was...

We spend quite a bit of time watching, listening to, and criticizing AJ eating his wings and fries lunch while we also chat about Liam Hendricks comeback from cancer. Then we chat a little NBA and a little NHL. Then we fire up some strong decisioning on who should sell and who should buy in the MLB. Then we finish with a quick-fire on what 2024 NFL free agent will have the strongest fantasy impact...

Offseason screw around time! We just chatter and chatter. The boys talk about the NBA & NHL playoffs, the NFL draft and then Bear rounds it out with just some random questions. The guys come up with a fabulous new invention and we're calling it "The TitBit", use your imagination if you want or listen for the explanation of that one. The ending gets pretty giggly with the question...

We had a LOT of fun with this one. We brought in Rob Barber and Greg the great Ventris and just sat around the table talking smack about the draft as it happened. AJ spent a lot of time just muttering odd sentences while the Produca gave a good review of many of the draftee's wardrobes. We talk about how Kiper gets paid BANK and got 1 pick right! If you want to play the drinking game of "...

The Produca gets another new "Show Me Some Love Song", this one made the boys laugh out loud! We give a quick rundown of Bears first Championship since 1998. Opi & Bear then get into a heated discussion about the O'Neal Cruz slide, it was like listening to 2 old guys yelling "get off my lawn" at each other. As we do the MLB predictions it becomes very apparent that the...

The Produca gets a new "Show Me Some Love Song", to Opi's dismay! Ryan goes in depth about our playoffs for the FBBL and Owen's Hockey League. Then we move into baseball and chat about the opening day and the thriller that was the WBC. We finish baseball up talking both fantasy baseball and Rotisserie. Then the boys talk NCAA and become coaches of the final 4 teams. Each guy pick...

We are WINGING IT! But having fun while doing so. The Produca gives us a crazy stupid rundown of all things fantasy playoffs. Then we slide into the NFLs DMs and talk about the frenzy of free agent signings, who has won and who has lost so far. Then we chat some NCAA and the auction competition that went on Monday night forcing Bear to miss work on Tuesday. We also mention the fact that you can wi...

Let's try this again. The first time we put this out there, we had some serious sound issues but Bear went to work and fixed that stuff up! This is titled after an odd statement made during the podcast, that's how silly this one got at times. Our Assistant to the Produca couldn't keep his bowels from releasing a nauseous gas that attempted to destroy everyone. We also did talk about where free age...

FBFL is done so what is next, a little game called the Super Bowl. We talk a little about that and have fun with the discussion. We actually talk a little NBA and the craze that was the trade deadline. Bear defines what a buyout is and why it happens. We go around the horn and discuss what each member would do as the Bears GM with that first pick. Bear has a new game for the guys as we decide wher...

A favorite time of the year for the guys! Making predictions about YOUR teams! We spend time in all your heads, hope it didn't hurt too much! We have a very deep discussion on who we think each team in the Miller League will protect. For the non-FBFLers, we spend a lot of time talking what round we think certain players are worth in the draft. We also talk Super Bowl predictions along with some po...

A favorite time of the year for the guys! Making predictions about YOUR teams! We spend time in all your heads, hope it didn't hurt too much! We have a very deep discussion on who we think each team in the Bud League will protect. For the non-FBFLers, we do talk about players for next year including possible changes at QB that can affect the player so lots of good football talk! All wrong, but a l...

It's year-end wrap up time so it's a little long. We interview with the 2022-2023 FBFL Champion, the Munster McGibblets, who also happens to be our Produca. We go over all the other FBFL and public betting pools for 2022 and we bring in a couple guests just for the NFL playoff picks. We also reveal the money makers from the 2022 Opi NCAA Bowl Game 43 Games and BCS Championship Giveaway for the Cur...

It's a long one but that's because we spend the first 45 minutes or so talking about Damar Hamlin and have some great stories and thoughts as to the NFL, Skip Bayless, Dan Orlovsky and other items about the on-field near tragedy that happened. After that we pound on the FBFL championship between the Produca and podcast buddy Joker! The boys analyze, tinker, argue, discuss, and come to only one con...

That's right, AJ can't take the heat and got out of the kitchen after his playoff loss this week. The guys make sure he is aware of his mistake if he listens to this one. The other guys tear apart the playoff games coming up as the FBFL is in the semi-finals for the season. That’s right, we go 18 weeks in this league! We also have a brief conversation on soccer star "Hulk" and try to figure out if...
