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 going, thanks for that Microsoft!! We finally got good sound and in a week, back to bullshit. Other than that, we had a pretty good podcast and we're giving advice as to who to play for some FBFL teams who look to have the depth to make choices. So, if you want to watch the YouTube video, I still made one and it's the sound of the podcast to go with a picture video of your podcast guys.

We've been doing a podcast about our fantasy football league for several years now and thought we'd try out best at getting to the next level of technology and introduce ourselves to YouTube. We spend a lot of time with FBFL talk along with our usual mix of just talking about fantasy football. We go over how we did in our predictions along with some predictions for week 3s fantasy players and as always, go off into stupid tangents with silly banter and some normal singing between Ryan & AJ and it's a lot of fun. We hope you have fun with it also! If you want to take the next technology leap with us and watch a few idiots, go to: Opi & the Bear Episode - 166 Welcome to YouTube

I give this podcast a C+. All our sound issues are worked out and we're actually practicing video to try to get a YouTube channel up and going. The grading, yeah, because we grade the Brewery Conference and since we are all in it, it's not easy to do. Also, Bear had a golf outing the day of recording so there's a lot of nonsense and slurred words cut out LOL!

3:35 - Show me some love - changed this year to 1 league of Ryan's choice and then he'll go over the survivor, NFL pick, MVP, & guillotine pools so lots of FBFL information in here.

30:10 - NFL AFC Predictions

1:08:05 - Brewery Draft Grades

1:46:08 - Quick rundown of Week 2's Predictions

One of the better, well rounded podcasts and we're not just talking about AJ. We have some fun and interesting predictions and then go into the draft grades for the Distillery league. If you're not in the FBFL, don't worry because during the grading we discuss fantasy players and what round they went in at LENGTH so you don't need to be part of the league to enjoy the fantasy banter!

1:38 - Quick chat about the draft, the golf outing, and the rotisserie draft.

8:27 - NFC Predictions including playoff teams, NFC North Champs, and some fun predictions like what week does a holdout named CeeDee pull his hammy?

29:29 - Bear wants a petition and needs everyone's signature.

35:23 - NFL Predictions for the NFL Awards.

49:12 - Distillery Grades…sorry not sorry! We also start changing team names during some of these using the names of the players and it gets fun!

This starts out with the boys doing a 8-team fantasy draft including the OatB group and a couple outsiders. It sounds boring, but there's a LOT of fantasy talk about when to take a player, who is possibly falling in the ranks and who is rising. We talk about what round players should get picked, if they should be a starter, and then bring back AJ's games. This one was very light hearted with a lot of laughs and sober people!

The timeline below tells the story! The boys got the band back together to talk football since it's right around the corner and they were so excited about this, Bear, AJ, and Ryan shot 18 prior to the podcast and then had dinner at Parkside where shots were the main course. This falls apart early and fast but if you can keep up, there's some funny stuff in there! Somehow within this mess, we draft a fantasy team, not well mind you, but we did it! The ending becomes funny and intriguing so stick around or fast forward a little bit. At the very end we give some FBFL news that's pertinent to hear!

0:01 - Shit-Show…that is it…

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.

• 9:10 - AJ's Surgery Story
• 10:28 - Opi asks if April matters in the MLB
• 17:45 - Chat about the new kicking rules in the NFL
• 20:43 - Bear offered his kidney
• 21:30 - Bear talks about a surprise retirement
• 23:40 - Bear talks about the wait staff in Oakland
• 27:13 - Bear's story about DBear at the golf course
• 29:11 - Bear's story about being late to golf

• 55:11 - AJs Game

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!
