OatB Ep. 209 - Tyler & Adara Cherriola
Don't let the name fool you, it's just something we mention early on in the podcast that got us pretty lively. We have the whole group back again and you know it quickly, because Opi is really excited to be talking to his friends again…and talking, and talking, and talking LOL. Ryan gives…

This is just the Bear podcast! No Opi, no Ryan, no AJ, and noGrim. Bear has a little spat at the beginning on how awful and discourteous holiday shoppers, or people in general are. Then he goes into the a quick rundown of last week's predictions, Boom, Bust, and Sleeper, followed by NFL and then...

OatB Ep. 205 - WK 14 - "Someone has to win" - Grimbo
Thanks to Spotify, we had to republish, but here ya go...again. After Opi gets done pouting, the topics of conversation become: Phillip Rivers, Hall of Famer or no?

more -
OatB Ep. 202 - WK 10 - Mexico Sent Bear Back
We skipped week 9 for 1 simple reason, no Bear means no cuts so this stuff can't get published. So, we plow through a couple weeks' worth of stuff in 1 decently quick podcast. We start with the picks and normal stuff and sprinkle in some stories of Bear's trip to Cancun. We tangent a lot, talk...
-
OatB Ep. 201 - WK 8 - We See the Future
OK, so we may not be able to see the future but we take a whack at it. We give our boom, bust, sleepers and then we go over who we think is going to be the top 5 players for the rest of the year at their positions. Each guy takes a position and rattles them off and most give decent insight as to...
-
OatB Ep. 200 - WK 7 - Ryan does Homework
This was the opposite of last week when Bear and Grim ran the podcast, this one was done by the other 3 slackers who weren't there as Bear and Grim had work engagement to attend to. The boys chat about the FBFL and actually give Rob Barber a bunch of credit, so you could tell Bear wasn't thereto...
-
OatB Ep. 199 - WK 6 - Short Staffed
Right off the bat we just start ripping Opi, and rightfully sosince this week is just Grim and I as all the other putzes had to bail. Bear and Grim have a great time, keep it lively, and continue to shit on Opi so if you're a fan of Opi getting ripped on, this one is for you! We spend some FBFL...

-
OatB Ep. 197 - WK 3 - Cut me Mick…or Bear
Everyone is on their own this week! Well, not everyone. Bear has to make up for Grim & AJ who didn't have time to record so between school, working 40 hours in 3 days, bags league, and his wife's birthday, Bear made up for those who "didn't have time". Yes, Bear also writes these up so he can…
more -
OatB Ep. 196 - WK 2 - Short but not Sweet

-
Opi & the Bear Episode 195 - Wk. 1 We changed our format!
We changed our format and started this with Opi on his soapbox, then hit the boom, bust, sleeper, and NFL so then we can just talk fantasy football and get less structured. TheBears were a topic for us a couple times and we go over all groups favorite teams with the Seahawks & Steelers. We do a...

We do a live draft and talk shit to each other as we make our picks. You get to view the actual draft online and listen to us yell at each other as we snipe each other. Kayla comes in late and takes the podcast over with her 12 kids and odd picks. It gets a little loud in a couple spots because…

Opi & the Bear Episode 188 - High & Hungry
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...
-
Opi & the Bear Episode 187 - No Opi…No Problem
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...

-
Opi & the Bear Episode 185 - The 2024-2025 Football Freeze Up
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...
-
Opi & the Bear Episode 184 - Super Bowl "Boogie" Episode
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...
-
Opi & the Bear Episode 183 - 2025 Brewery Protection Predictions & more…
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...
-
Opi & the Bear Episode 182 - 2025 Distillery Protection Predictions & more…
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…. Technology is great when it works which we're finding is very seldom. We also miss AJ &...
-
Opi & the Bear Episode 181 - Grim's BACK! Plus We Go Off Script a LOT
We get our buddy Grimbo back in action and his mic was off pretty 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…

-
Opi & the Bear Episode 178 - Week 1 Playoffs
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...
-
Opi & the Bear Episode 177 - Brackets are SET!
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...

-
Opi & the Bear Episode 175 - Getting Playoff Ready, Except Bear
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...
-
Opi & the Bear Episode 174 - Bear, Grandpa & the Boys
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...
-
Opi & the Bear Episode 173 - Not EVERYTHING Stays in the DR
Bear brought back some 3rd world disease and is on several different 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...
-
Opi & the Bear Episode 172 - GM'ing OTHER Fantasy Teams is FUN!!
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...
-
Opi & the Bear Episode 171 - The Grim Episode
Why did we call it "The Grim Episode" and he's not even 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! YouTube Link: Opi & the…
more -
Opi & the Bear Episode 170 - Name That Game
We get Grimbo back this week so we're at full force as we continue 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…

Opi & the Bear Episode 169 - Having Some Fantasy Fun
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...
-
Opi & the Bear Episode 168 - YouTube…we're back!
We did it! Back on video and this one is pretty fun both on video 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…
more -
Opi & the Bear Episode 167 - YouTube…A One Week Wonder???
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...
