Opi & the Bear Opi & the Bear

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 TON just bullshitting and not staying on topic so if you skip, you'll miss out on some fun banter.

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!

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 hitting Bear HARD.

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 all in terrible taste like always.

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 place. If nothing else, go to the end and listen to the sad song Bear put together for Grim's send off. We extend this a little longer by talking about the Kelce bump and the fact that Grim doesn't like drunk people…OK, it wasn't quite that way, but we have a lively discussion about the celebration!
