Bez
The 2024 NFFL Regular season has come to an end and in this episode there is a lot of giggling as we discuss:
- The Final Standings
- Playoff matchups we love
- The Play-in tournaments
We also talk through some of your conversation ideas for the future!
Bez is on a solo mission to discover the under the radar Games of the Week across the NFFL, as well as the obvious ones, of course!
Doing something new is always a challenge, so when we heard about the first music and sports festival in the UK to include flag football, we knew we had to talk to the creator of Flagapalooza, Benjamin Newham.
Over the course of the last 7 months the DMs have flown back and forth and this week we caught up with Mr Flagapalooza himself to hear just how it all began, what happened during the build up, the weekend itself and of course, some of the freshest news you'll get on what could happen in 2025.
Bez and Tree take a long look at the news from around the flag footballing landscape since out last show. On the agenda this week:
- The GB Women's National Team
- The IFAF Flag Football World Championships
- BAFA announcements
- SCOFF Updates
- Flagapolooza
- NFFL reviews and playoff pictures.
Two BAFA Gameweeks, Claddagh Bowl and a new BAFA CEO since we were on the air, so there's lots to talk about on this weeks big show.
There's World Championships and National Team chat with the ongoing fundraiser here and crucially, Bez talks through his recent blog post and some of his favourite responses at the time of recording.
Enjoy!
There's been flag football all over the continent these past few weeks and we are back to talk about it all.
From Prague Perfection and King Bowl Crowns to the goings on in every signle division of the BAFA National Flag Football League we have you covered.
If you make it to the very end there's also big news to break about one of the biggest tournements of the coming summer.
Enjoy!

It's been about a month since our last show and an awful lot has gone down. We are in the middle of the World Games 2022 where some of the finest teams in the world are facing off for the right to be on an official live stream. Bez has a conspiracy theory that Greg does not immediately dismiss.
Closer to home there has been some British American Football Association drama that we take a flag view on, before returning domestically to give a rapid run down of what happened in Week 5.
Bez chats about his experience trialling the new refereeing course as well as how it impacted him when it came to make, "a fun call to work out," in one of last weekends games.

There's also much more pirate chat than you would think about, rouge promises, the announcement of who won the spotify wrapped mug and something about a canoe.

Tom and Bez are back and talk in a slightly bias fashion about how the HNC teams fared at Flagging New Year 2020. They talk Smoke, Mass Flag and Raptors and give the run down on the rest of the conference. A new segment: “What We Got Wrong,” makes it’s debut before a fantastic interview with a member of the GB Lions. We think you’re going to like this one. Come laugh with us.
