OatB Ep. 213 - PreSeason Fun!

We talk: Football...that's really all you need to know because…bum bum bum baaaahhh, bedadap bedadap!! It's that time of year! We mainly go over NFL and talk about who we like from team to player. We make fun of a few NFL player head shots and then move into fantasy briefly. It's good to be back guys! We had a surprise text that needed a protection opinion that we talked about as if it was a live podcast. We had a lot of fun and had several upbeat discussions. We read off this year's protected players, Bear tells a disturbing golf story, and we call it a day.YouTube Link: OatB Ep  213  PreSeason Fun!

We talk: Getting high and watching certain movies, quick takes on the Super Bowl and our picks, Bears bets, top free agents of 2026, 6 of some-half dozen of another origins, a "baker's dozen", and after that fun, we go into Brewery Player Protection, which is always a fun subject. At the end, we discuss F You Kevin and Bear's near 300s in bowling and the upcoming shows since this is our last show for a little bit but we will have an NCAA March Madness show, NFL Draft show and a pre-season or early season baseball show! Protection Predictions start at the 42:56 minute mark on YouTube and 39:27 minute mark on Spotify.YouTube Link: OatB Ep.  212 - Stuff & More Protection Predictions

We talk: WoW (World of Warcraft), DnD, the Steelers, Mike Tomlin, last week's playoffs, this week's playoffs, Cherriola makes its way back to the banter, some replacements for playoff injuries, the Super Bowl, the Bears season as a whole in relation to the Williams to Kmet TD, during this part Tara joins Opi and the guys have a hell of a time razzing Opi as he's on screen but no mic or headphones, and then we get into player protection predictions for the Distillery. We will wrap up in a couple weeks with the Brewery and some post-super bowl talk but with Bear being unavailable next week, nobody will do the work so we will not be putting out content next week.Protection Predictions start at the 60 minute mark on YouTube and 58:43 minute mark on Spotify.YouTube Link: OatB Ep. 211 - Stuff & Protection Predictions

A little shorthanded again this week but we just chat a ton. We talk about the games from last weekend and talk the future games but really, this was just a nice little chat session about different things going on in our lives along with some sports and how we felt about things like the Eagle fans pelting 49er fans relentlessly with snowballs and some of the coaching carousel going on. Poor AJ didn't feel real well and worse than that was Grim's playoff loss hangover by the Steelers.YouTube Link: OatB Ep. - 210 - Bear the Lane Fairy

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 everyone a lesson on who holds the Guinness Book of World Record for biggest poo, then we go on a diatribe of stuff. In the mix of mayhem, we do talk some football. But first we have to rip on Opi's family and soon to be son-in-law. Then, we go over the FBFL championship, Rotisserie championship, week 18 of the NFL, and the NFL playoffs coming up. We finish chatting about that and then discuss who we think should get the NFL awards for the 2025-2026 season.YouTube Link: OatB Ep. 209 - Tyler & Adara Cherriola

Bear and the boys have some fun as Opi has stayed in Florida and Grimbo has pretty much checked out. We have a lively and fun talk about Rosie O'Donnell, the Illini bowl game, the messy NFC South, go over our normal stuff but do it in a more chatty way as opposed to structured. Then Bear has some endof the season quiz numbers for the guys, talk some NFL, lots of Bears and Packers talk, then spend a bunch of time on the FBFL championship game. Ryan does let everyone know how nervous he is this week as he takes on the 33s in said championship. We finish with some quick Christmas talk and move into 2026. Happy New Year's everyone!YouTube Link: OatB Ep. 208 - Playoff Week 3

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 some quick talk about the upcoming games in the FBFL. Bear throws in a couple comments on Nixon's cheap shot on DJ. Bear does his best Grim imitation and the first one isn't good, but he nails it on the 2nd one. He finishes with some injury chat. OatB would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!YouTube Link: OatB Ep.  207 - Playoff Week 2

We are short players again and are down to the stinkiest of the podcast guys and it starts that way. Then we talk about the missing guys and the lack of offensive flexibility in the NFL, hiring these coordinators, Phillip Rivers and his "eh", last week's predictions, playoff games, Boom, Bust, Sleeper, NFL Picks with this week's video being NFL bloopers or what they call "Ooops Plays", SouthPark 12 Days of Christmas, discussthis week's FBFL playoffs, quick hit the FBFL pick 'em pool and Survivor, and a couple news points and then finish with a chat about the Stalkers roster again.YouTube Link: OatB Ep. 206 - Playoff Week 1

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? Joe Namath stats, sort of, last week's prediction results, Grim's computer prowess, Boom players, Bust players, Grimbo trying to pee at Arrowhead Stadium, Adara doesn't understand running backpower, Mad Men, Hightown, Stranger Things, & Knights Tale, The Patriot, and then moved to Sleepers, the NFL, and then we get into the meat of the podcast talking this week's FBFL playoff battles. 31:30 - This week's football video isn't football. It's atribute to our very own Greg Ventris who made history by starting the Moline Girls Wrestling Team. Congrats to Greg and the girls who are working so hard to create this historic moment!YouTube Link: OatB Ep. - 205 - WK 14 - Someonehas to win

We get the gang back together to chat football and then spend a lot of time going over the different playoff scenarios in the FBFL. We also talk: Joker's long life, Opi broke Grimbo, Koo's kick, Grimbo moving draft picks, Fuck You Kevin's Draft Pick addiction, Boom, the Bear's offensive line, Bust, QB injuries, the Raiders, Sleepers, NFL Picks, Bears fans need to shut the fuck up, Ryan's mom (yeah, that's Bear's wife), other random NFL stuff, and then on YouTube, the FBFL Playoff Rundown starts at 55:04. If listening as a podcast, it starts at 50:32 if you want to fast forward to that section. Then we complete the podcast with talking about the trades that occurred in the FBFL. And the NFL theme song features lingerie football plays once again! YouTube Link: OatB Ep  204  WK 13   FBFL Playoff Rundown
