We're rapidly approaching the end of arena football season, with only 3 IFL playoff games left before the outdoor game captures everyone's attention in the fall. We dive into the first round of the IFL playoffs and recap the games that took place, discussing what went well for the teams that advanced and what didn't for the teams that are going home. I give my predictions for the Conference Championship next week that you should probably fade based on my pre-playoffs prediction of a Bay Area-Frisco championship, but hey I had a decent argument, okay! I then had a chance to chat with ArenaBowl XXXIII champion & Billings Outlaws RB Hunter Swoboda about his football journey, this year's Billings team, playing for AFL legends like Coach Walker & Coach Bonner, & this year's ArenaBowl aka the #BrawlAtTheMall!

We’ve reached the final week of the year where we will have both AFL & IFL action! AFL Playoffs will be wrapping up with ArenaBowl XXXIII on Friday, July 19th (hopefully) and the IFL is heading into the final week of the regular season before the playoffs begin. In the AFL, we got the matchup that most people probably expected with the the top 2 teams all year making it to the BrawlAtTheMall in New Jersey. In the IFL, we had two more teams clinch their playoff spot - leaving one more up for grabs in the West heading into the final season. Seeding is still up for grabs in both conferences, so plenty to play for in Week 19! We also had the pleasure of chatting with Anthony Carter from Arena Insider! We talked about the origins of Arena Insider, navigating this crazy 2024 AFL season, the upcoming docuseries, what we can expect from Arena Insider in the future, & more.

Another tremendous week of IFL & AFL football is in the books! We've got one more week of the AFL regular season before the playoffs start and the IFL is hitting the final stretch of their season with an extremely competitive playoff race in both conferences. In this episode, we dive into each game of the weekend in both leagues and get an idea of where teams are at in this late stage of the season. We went into even further detail about one of the AFL Games of the Year between Albany & Billings, how the game ended and some of the aftermath. I got a little fired up. Also, at the time of recording this the AFL playoff picture was only going to be 5 teams. Of course immediately after recording, it was announced that there would be 6 teams making the playoffs -- so they are making me looking like a BAFOON saying SW Kansas-Nashville next week is a "win and in" game.

| Ep. 9: Mass. Pirates LB Calvin Bundage, IFL Week 11 & AFL Week 5 | 29 May 2024 | 01:15:10 | |
Another solid week of indoor and arena football! IFL provided another great slate of entertaining games and the AFL had some really good games as well (and some really bad ones). We start off with a recap of IFL Week 11 and go game by game & team by team breaking down the week and where they stand moving forward. We then do a preview and take a guess at the betting lines that will come out later in the week. Then had the pleasure of welcoming a true day-one Off The Wall supporter in LB Calvin Bundage of the Massachusetts Pirates on to the show where we talked about his football journey, this year's Massachusetts Pirates team and some of the work he puts in to showcasing life as a pro athlete on his social channels. Calvin was the very first subscriber to our YouTube channel and we could not be more thankful for him joining the show! We then wrap up the show by walking through AFL Week 5 and discuss some of the highs and lows of the week, and another team biting the dust! Lots to get into, but please give out guy Calvin Bundage a follow on his Instagram & IG - @Calvin_Bundage YouTube - @Coo_Coo_Cal TikTok - @CooCooCal_

| Ep. 8: Quad City DB Malik Duncan, AFL Week 4 & IFL Week 10 Recaps | 22 May 2024 | 01:34:29 | |
IFL had a great week as usual we might finally be past the BS and entering our stride with the AFL! We started off with an AFL Week 4 Recap of the week that was in the league, where we had ALL 5 games streamed (which is a huge win at this point) and a couple games that ended up being really good! Then we had the pleasure of welcoming Malik Duncan of the Quad City Steamwheelers on to the show where we talked about his career in the IFL so far, how he adjusted to life in the indoor game and all of the highs and lows that came with it. He was very open and honest about his journey and I am an even bigger fan of his after this. Such a great story and a great player. We then do a game by game breakdown and recap of IFL Week 10 (which had a couple of #OffTheWallCertifiedBangers) and we take a peak at what is to come in IFL Week 11. Jam packed episode but we wouldn’t have it any other way!
