Opi & the Bear

"If you get my son to call you daddy, then I find your wife" - Cam Brady '012. That's right, starting you off with a great (PG version) Will Ferrell quote since the podcast crew, with the addition of Kate, talk about what they feel is Will Ferrell's Best, Bust, and Underrated movies since we have much on the sports end to talk about. Although, we do get into the decision making of the MLB and MLBPA (yikes), Dream Teams Season winner, how the Legendary Season is going, the Producer found a fun, shiny new toy that he makes sure to play with on the podcast, and much more! You think it's strange times? Well, when you listen to any of these episodes, they get even more strange. :P Hope you enjoy. Here is the email fbflqc@gmail.com. Still haven't seen any emails come in, but it is here and you are welcome to reach out. Even it is just to say hello! 

Things are starting to slowly get back to normal for these podcasters. After many weeks of doing the podcast at separate places (for the fellas in the QC), we got the band back together in the Producers basement! This time they have another new toy as the podcast equipment is starting to become more advanced (and FREE!!) This one is long overdue to come out so sorry to our 5 listeners for the wait! ;) Join us for another fun one as we go over AJ's quote, the first 2 weeks of the Legendary Season (who's bad and who's good), and much more! Thanks to those of you that are still listening through some quiet times in the sports world and crazy times in the world in general! As always, feel free to reach out via fbflqc@gmail.com! Stay safe!

Oh boy, even during a time without sports, your boys continue to produce 2 hours worth of podcast! A big chunk of this podcast is taken up by a draft that was created by Behr, a Legendary Draft! Went down fantasy memory lane and round up all of the top fantasy great's from the past dating back to the Stone Age. Found out that Ryan was the D-Bear of the draft (took FOREVER to pick a player). If you would like, feel free to submit your all time greatest fantasy team from any player in the past to fbflqc@gmail.com! This did get slightly political, but what else would you expect with Rob and the Old Man back on the Podcast. :) Yes, to join the Opi & the Bear crew, we bring on the 2 guys that have been in the FBFL league since Day 1 way back in 1994. Also, you can thank AJ for getting you drunk this week if you are playing the new drinking game on the podcast, Finish That Quote! Thanks for joining us for this one as it was one of our favorites since we started this podcast (besides all of the damn internet issues the stupid producer ran into). Hope these podcasts have given our 10 listeners some fun during these weird times! :) 

DRAFT DAY...recap! In this podcast, the boys talk about how they felt about the NFL draft, the MLB The Show Tourney, and the invention of the new nickname for fuck you Kevin, Yum Yum! Listen in to know what the wonderful wizzing world of the Opi & the Bear is all about. Even without sports, these guys know how to have a good time. Doesn't even feel like we are in quarantine when we get together. Like always, our email is open and has a lot of space, so send us an email even for shits and giggles. :)

SOUND THE ALARMS!! The Opi and the Bear crew is giving you a special EXTRA EPISODE!!!! This extra episode is because we have no sports, so we were all extra excited about the NFL Draft. There were many people in and out of this episode. The Opi & the Bear crew brought in a few Opi & the Bear vets with fuck you Kevin, Grimbo, Greg and Kayla, and Rob. We also got a new guest on in Bobby Marks, who is a friend of ours and he is a big NFL fan. He doesn't talk much, but it was good to have a new face on to chat with us all. This was a fun one to do especially during this quarantine and it felt like we were all watching the draft in Bear's man cave, but you know sitting in our own home.... Hope you all enjoy this special episode as the guys talk about who they think each team is going to pick, figure out at the end how wrong everyone was, and soooooo much more! Feel free to give us feedback by emailing fbflqc@gmail.com. 

We have made it through 25 episodes!! We have really enjoyed the first 24 and we hope that you all have also. This one is packed full of information! The guys looked up some stats on a few guys that were brought up in the previous episode, AJ (yes AJ) comes up with a new and really cool game for the guys to play (and guess what, its a drinking game :P), and the biggest segment is talking about what is all tied into the NFL Salary Cap. We wanted to make sure we had all of the information that Bear could find so then we could all get some clarification behind the Salary Cap. Big thank you for those of you that continue to listen! We hope every week we can bring some sort of happiness or knowledge (doubtful) to you in these weird times. Sorry in advance as there was some techinical difficulties in parts of this episode. You would think after 24 we would have this down, but your producer really struggles... Reach out to us personally or by emailing fbflqc@gmail.com for any feedback you might have! 

Who is that athlete? You know, ole what’s his nuts? This can turn into a new add to the Opi & the Bear drinking game, every time you hear someone say what’s his nuts or what’s his face, take a drink! In this podcast, we talk about how much we said that in the last podcast, and then we kept saying it! The guys also talk about other NFL deals, how much of a shyte show the Lazer Ninja Dragon League draft was (AKA how smashed Ryan got), and some athletes that are complete pieces of shyte! Sorry for getting this out late for there was miscommunication on the producers end (like usual)! Like usual, feel free to reach out to our fbflqc@gmail.com email if you don’t know us all to text.

This episode of Opi & the Bear is all but cute. Didn't think there would be much to talk about with the pandemic underway around the world, but we thought wrong. Thanks to the NFL, the guys had a TON to talk about with all of the shocking free agent signings, releases, and extensions! Once we get done applying Vaseline to our chappy dumpers, we have our FIRST EVER Lazer Ninja Dragon (Fantasy Baseball) League DRAFT ORDER SELECTION. This is much better than the NBA Lottery picks since we bring in Deb & Kate to help us out in selecting the draft order in their bikinis (jk, but you would never know...) Hope you all enjoy this sports talk since I bet you are getting sick of watching the sports reruns and SportsCenter not talking about squat! As always, feel free to reach out to us with any questions or if you want to join the podcast by emailing fbflqc@gmail.com. Stay safe!

Can Kayla ever make a decision? Listen in to find out and also, you might as well make the decision for her since she won't do it. The daughter of Bear (or Opi, only Momma Deb knows) joins the Opi and the Bear crew to bring on a little bit of a female touch to the podcast. This one is a long one as we touch on a TON of different topics! We go from Fantasy Basketball to Baseball stuff to Hometown Athletes having success in the sports they are playing. We really enjoyed the identifying how well some individuals are doing that came from the local area and we will try to incorporate that subject more in future podcasts. Kayla brought some insightful information whenever she would speak. We have some fun conversations in this one and hope you bare through the lengthiness of this podcast. Any new listeners, let us know about what you think about the podcast by emailing fbflqc@gmail.com. 

There is no better time than the start of the baseball season! It is the time when the weather starts to get warmer, the grass begins to turn greener, and the winter depression of not being able to hang out outside starts to fade away. Spring fever is coming very soon, but it feels like Spring already when you are able to enjoy baseball's Spring Training season! The guys talk about there predictions on the upcoming Fantasy Baseball (Lazer Ninja Dragon League) season, give there thoughts on the NBA All Star game, the Astros Sign Stealing Scandal, and MORE!! Hope everyone enjoys this episode! If anyone has any topic ideas they want to hear about, feel free to reach out to our email fbflqc@gmail.com!

WEEE'RRREEE BAAAACCCCKKKKK!! There is nothing better than listening to 5 guys in one room googling over a bunch of movies and pointing out the hot women in them right? That is exactly what you are getting with this episode as the Opi & the Bear crew brings back Rob (the owner of the Zombie Raiders) to talk MOVIES! The guys talk some sports, but take a little break with sports and talk about movies from the 80's, 90's, 00's, and 10's. HOW ABOUT A DRINKING GAME? We got one for you right here in this podcast! Rob doesn't know, but we planned a drinking game where every time he admires over a woman that gets brought up (listen closely for Bear to say "Ding, Drink"), take a shot or a drink... just to warn you, might be safer to take a drink compared to a shot (1. DON'T DRIVE, 2. we are not responsible for the way you choose to play this drinking game). Plan a weekend to listen to this podcast if you want to play this drinking game. Other topics of discussion includes recap of our Super Bowl LIV predictions, the tragic death of Kobe Bryant, Bear's Stats from the Past, and what chaps our asses! 

WHAT CHAP'S YOUR ASS?!?! In this one we start a new segment where Opi & the Bear, the Producer and even the mighty Intern tells everyone what chaps their ass. We also talk about some good stats like Dan Marino's 1984 season, MJ vs Lebron vs Kobe and a little snippet about poor little Derek Jeter not getting a unanimous vote...boo friggin' who! Fantasy is over but the fun continues!!

Looking at the episode name, it is what you are getting. This one is a longer one since we went off the rails a few times in our conversations, which is what makes for a great podcast! The guys bring back Nick and it seemed like he was playing the Opi & the Bear drinking game as the podcast went on... The guys finish up the FBFL 2020 Protection Predictions for next year, predict which teams are making their way to the Super Bowl, and they predict who is going to win the LSU vs Clemson National Championship game on Monday Night. Yes, it is a little longer but it was so much fun to do and I think it is worth that amount of time! Remember members of the FBFL, go out and vote on the FBFL-QC.com website for the award winners, where you think the meeting should be, and if you will be attending.

FBFL season might be over, but the talk about the offseason has just begun! There will be other sports talk in the offseason, but the guys want give everyone their predictions about the players that the each FBFL team will be protecting. Opi and Ryan talk about the teams in the Miller League since they are not part of that league, and next podcast Bear and AJ will be talking about the FBFL teams protections in the Bud League. The guys also bring in an expert (or an additional moron to the moron crew, I'll let you be the judge) Nick Runco (Runc-Diggity) for some NFL Playoff talk since his Saints crew played that weekend. Bear should be putting up some funny pictures and memes on the fbfl-qc.com website for the Skullcrushers (Opi's) winner winner chicken dinner of the Championship. Which for this podcast's drinking game, take a drink everytime Opi talks about winning the Championship, the guys say Joker's name, and Nick brings up how old Tom Brady is. You will probably need to get your stomach pumped. Enjoy the podcast guys and welcome to the Year 2020 of the podcast!

You all already know the outcome to the FBFL Championship now, but don't you want to find out how wrong the guys were in their predictions? We brought back Grimbo and brought in the GM of the Diggers, Hammer, who was opposing Opi's Skullcrushers in the Ship. There was some good smack talking and some hopeful jinxing from both teams. We break down player vs player for each team, pick who we thought was going to win it all, guess who was going to make the 6 seed from AFC and NFC, and guess who wins in the NFC West showdown between 49ers and Seahawks. A lot of great stuff in this podcast that you don't want to miss! We will not do another podcast until next year (2020 :P), but from all of us we hope you have a Happy New Year! 

Playoffs? You want to talk about Playoffs? Again? Yep, the guys are chatting about the upcoming Semi-Final match ups between Stalkers vs Diggers and Bench Mob vs Skullcrushers. We bring back Grimbo to talk about how he felt about the first round of the playoffs (fuck you Opi), Ryan talks about his depression after being the number 1 seed and losing in the first round, the guys talk about a new 2 week tournament bracket called the Captain's Cup, and they talk about much, much more. There were a lot of laughs in this one since everyone was healthy this week, hence the podcast being longer than last week. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and if the guys aren't going to be able to get together beforehand, have a Happy New Year!

One of the hosts of this podcast, one of the commissioners of the FBFL league, and one of the biggest asses in Iowa City (literally his ass is HUGE)! We have the Opi part of Opi & the Bear as our guest this week. What a wonderful way to get to know one of our Commissioners. Join this podcast to get to really know how Opi got started in the league, what one of the Commissioners likes and dislikes about the league, and who is a better hitter between him and his daughter. As always, reach out by emailing fbflqc@gmail.com and check out the FBFL website. 

Get used to laughing and not falling asleep (Wenis) in this weeks episode. GM Jeffy of the Newport Ninjas packs a punch this week as the Opi & the Bear crew talk about Week 12 recap, interview Jeff about his shitty problems (literally), Jeff edumacates us all (not sure why anyone would listen to this podcast to learn something...), Jeff lets us know why he is still in the league, Week 13 predictions, and SO MUCH MORE!!! It's a family affair in this one and we have a lot of great laughs! Hope you enjoy! Let us know what you think by emailing fbflqc@gmail.com. Go to the FBFL Homepage by clicking here to view some more on the league.

The podcast gained a lot more hair in this weeks episode. The crew gets back their producer from his shit show and they bring in GM Jody of the Barracudas! This Dolphin (the football team) lover gets first hand experience of the podcast and crushes the podcast game like a professional. We get into so many topics in this one. From talks about how Jody feels about the season to how many beers he rolls through to if he would pick a manbun or ponytail. This was such a fun podcast and we hope you all enjoy!

We went to our local cemetery and dug up this weeks guest. The Zombie Raiders have been in the league since well, the league started. One of the founding fathers of this league brought in his talk show radio history and made this episode a good one! The Ryan-less crew make this one worth while as Opi and the Bear got a Substitute Producer in Greg the Great. Tune into another great episode of the Opi and the Bear!
