The Benchwarmers Trivia Podcast

General Manager Riley Scherer returned to the Bench for this Ede-hosted game. Right off the bat, an over/under was set at 3.5 drinks for Riley (bet the over). Josh was not amused with the Halftime Show until he realized that Trey Parker and Matt Stone must have made all three movies. And during a fourth quarter hockey question, Riley reminisced about Montreal Canadien legend Jason Voorhees and informed us that he does in fact have particular plant(e)s in his yard. #worf #overunder #treyparker #mattstone #montrealcanadiens #jasonvoorhees #greatbarrierthief #vacuum https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Guest Nick Arno (from the Rounding Third podcast) returned to the Bench to host an all-baseball game for Luks & Scott to play against Markkus & Benchwarmer Emeritus Dan Lundberg. During this game, we found out that Dan has not been spending his post-Benchwarmer retirement studying modern baseball. Later, Markkus cracked out his favorite Randy Johnson quote (to Kenny Lofton): "If I wanted to hit you, I'd hit you." Nick also surprised the Benchwarmers with a brain-breaking 4th quarter. #roundingthirdpodcast #cheerleader #baseball #randyjohnson #kennylofton https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Guest Andrew Vahlenkamp returned to the Bench for this Josh-hosted game to play with Mason against Walling & Tako, who teamed up for the first time ever! During this game, Tako triggered Andrew's Alexa before the game even started, Josh asked the first free-response question in BTP history (we think), Andrew had to avoid a tornado during the recording, Tako wondered if Rae Carruth would have played in 100 games before he decided to kill someone, and Josh ensured that Foreigner will receive mailbox money by telling Alexa, Google, and Siri to play their songs. #tornado #cooperflagg #freeresponse #raecarruth #foreigner #alexa #google #siri

Assistant Coach Dave Brown returns to the Bench, teaming up with Ede in this Tako-hosted game. In this episode, Markkus contributes nothing but bad puns, everyone is sore, Ede is inevitable, Josh loses a million dollars by not knowing that his first name is Craig, and there are more Formula One questions than in all other Benchwarmer games combined (probably). #toomuchF1 #cocktailnickname #crimsonmask #feeltherhythm #princealbert https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Our General Manager Riley returned to the Bench for this Ede-hosted game. During this game, Walling mused about a Pre & Post Game answer of Jonathan Mingo-Daddy.com Arena, we discussed the acceptable amount of urine allowed at an NFL Draft - we agreed on somewhere between the amounts at the drafts in Kansas City (National WWI Museum and Memorial) and in Green Bay (Lambeau Field), and Riley (jokingly) answered "Five People at Freddy's" for an MTV show halftime question (we all agreed that was way too clever for MTV). #poutine #shedeursanders #abdulcarter #jaxsondart #jonathanmingo #urine #nfldraft https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Assistant Coach Byron Grubman returns to the Bench to team up with Matt for this Tako-hosted game. In this episode, Matt thinks Tako is both handsome and in his twenties (he is only one of those), we learn that there's only one Pole in Boston, Tako debuts a new quarter style in secret because Josh won't listen to this episode, we try and rhyme words in a Southern accent and accidentally invent Texas ballers Manute B'all and Y'all Ming, we evade chupacabras, and we wonder if it counts as plagiarism if no one saw the original.

Benchwarmer Emeritus Dan returned to the Bench for this game hosted by guest Drew Topp. During the game, we all agreed that it is time for Lee Corso to retire, we wondered what role Lewis Black might have played in Friday Night Lights, there was "Steiner Math" being done, and we fondly(?) reminisced about (too many) white Timberwolves players. #pleaseretireleecorso #lewisblack #steinermath #timberwolves #jimshikenjanski https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast 

In this episode, Eric Walling pinch hits last minute to team with Scott, competing against Tako and Matt. The team engages in a long debate about Muppet Paws (well, it seemed long).  David tries to convince the Benchwarmers that he didn't actually write the game. The team resists David's Missing Link, maybe because the first quarter felt a little too themish. But in the end, Scott admits that it was really just Gene-ius. #grouptherapy #smackdown #rangers #pinchhit #muppets #gene-ius https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast 

In this month's OT, Luks shows up to discuss recent episodes with Walling & Scott.  Specifically, the group discusses:   EP297: Varsity Noodling (featuring guest Jake Manne) EP298: Beanie Baby TY Hilton (featuring assistant coach, Will Weiss) EP299: The Mason Memorial Halftime-out chair (featuring assistant coach, John Ross) EP300: Scoopes Sherylsdottir (featuring guest, Alex Binder)

Guest Trey Cleeter returned to the Bench for this Josh-hosted game. During this game, Mason and Walling once again come up with an underwhelming team name, Walling pre-called a Sporting Haiku answer (Josh has gotten too predictable), Ede missed a hockey question (and it wasn't even about women), Josh tried out a movie soundtrack CV Halftime Show, and Walling almost challenged Josh (AGAIN) on if a player was actually a small forward. #thehammer #wallingisaprecog #joshispredictable #edeshootsandmisses #challengeflag #smallforward https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast 

Returning guest Alex Binder teams up with Tako to face Matt and Scott (who might just be a permanent team at this point) in this Ede-hosted episode. In this episode, one team leads wire-to-wire, we invoke the name of famed gangster DeShone Kizer Soze, the teams check in different Pre and Post Game answers but both get points, we create the TV show Two Guys with Mustaches, a Princess, and a Pizza Place, we are forced to do math against our will (and without any of the math guys in attendance), we reminisce about old wrester/darts player Bullseye Bollea, and Ede surprises the teams after the fourth quarter with MORE TRIVIA. #jaxbeforedaks #weirdal #deanslist #nfldraft #math  https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast 

Assistant Coach John Ross returns to the bench to team with Mason to face the formidable team of Josh and Tako. Our guest, John, shows up for our recording wearing a jersey of one of the 4th quarter answers. It's a good thing this is an audio medium. What are the odds?  Josh rolls his eyes at Luks' halftime, and later refers to one answer's imagery as a little unsettling.  And finally, Tako asserts that all Longs look the same. #stephenasmith #punchableface #hugeheadedmanagers https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast 

New guest and Assistant Coach Will Weiss joins the Bench for this Tako-hosted game. In this episode, we wish we were rich, we accidentally give Missing Link hits to the other team, we reminisce about Craig James killing five hookers, and invent Florida Marlins shortstops that somehow played for the 1975 Red Sox. But above all, we practice integrity, because that's what the Benchwarmers Trivia Podcast is all about. #IRS #beaniebabies #jackmorris #jeopardy #canadianhorse #jewishsportsquarterly https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast 

Tako subs for Walling and joins Scott and Matt in this months OT, For this episode we discuss:  EP 293: I Should Watch Baseball - But It's So F'ing Boring (featuring General Manager Riley Scherer & Drew Topp) EP 294: Schrodinger's Astin (featuring guest James Tyler) EP 295: Coming Soon to Netflix: Once Upon a Time in MexiGLOW and ChicaGLOW PD (featuring guest Jared Watson) EP 296: I hate this, but I'm good at it (featuring Assistant Coach Chris Shen)

Jake Manne retuned to the Bench for this Ede-hosted game. During this game, Ede pulled a Dougherty (three of the same quarter style - thanks, Matt!) and it was apparent early on that he wrote many backhanded wheelhouse questions for Jake. There was some discussion as to whether the word "slut" needed to be whistled - hopefully not, given that it was said way too many times. And Jake just wasn't satified with being on one Benchwarmers bad side, so he alienated another...Mason?

Assistant Coach (and Benchie winner) Chris Shen returns to the bench to team with Mason Guillot (or Gason Muillot) again Scott and Matt D.  Right from the start, Scott foreshadows a question in his introductions.  Later, our guest is very pleased that he pulls one answer in the Lucky 7.  One team panics and conjures up Jackie Gleason as an answer.  And finally, Mason completes his character arc on the podcast. #horseface #chirsmullin #carrierpigeons #jackiegleason #benchies https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Jeopardy! champion Jared Watson returned to the Bench for this Josh-hosted game. During this game, we learned that the Dallas Mavericks have signed center Jake Taylor (they are definitely going full Major League), Walling and Markkus were shilling for Corncob TV, we had the return of ChatGPT Pre and Postgame for the Halftime Show, we all agreed that Jack Reacher has a hell of a wingspan unless you are subscribed to the Tom Cruise version (Jared immediatley unsubscribed), and we had birthday storytime with Walling and Scott. #anthonydavis #coffinflop #dallas #mavericks #jaketaylor #corncobtv #chatgpt #carlilloyd #jackreacher #tomcruise #unsubscibe #birthdaystorytime  https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast 

First-timer (and Jeopardy! champion) James Tyler joins the Bench for this Ede-hosted game. In this game, we ask the important question, "Is Four Inches Enough?" We also discuss our favorite constellations, invoke the name of Roy Helu to divine wisdom, brutally misunderstand The Day the Music Died, and Ede asks a question about women's sports!

Patreon General Manager Riley Scherer teams up with Josh to take on David and Drew Topp in this Tako-hosted game. In this game, we sample bad Hungarian liquor, invent a new sport: Water Hurdles, and imagine the abomination that is Don King Cobra.

First timer (and yet another guest who did better on Jeopardy! than Tako) Jake DeArruda joins for a Scott-hosted game. In this episode, Scott tries to set a record for the longest Curriculum Vitae of all time, Markkus feels young for coaching but old for his body, we discover a sports movie Mason has seen but Markkus has not, Tako shows off his voice acting skills, we find the baseball equivalent of the Chicago Bears all-time quarterbacks list, we remember to wipe before we go to bed, and we think Mason looks like a young Sean Connery. #yourethemannowdog #seabass #yorvittorrealba #oldtomatoface #toomuchboston #avoidpjbrown #timotheechalamet https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast 

Firstime guest and Equipment Manager for our Patreon Team Yael Wylie joined the Bench for this Ede-hosted game. In this episode, Ede stumped both teams with his Missing Link (Hint: It was not that they were all running backs or that they're all black), we came to an agreement that there is no such thing as Alvin beans, we reminisced about Hall of Fame pitchers Jack Ass and Milfred Hunter (whose catchphrase was "Keep Pounding!"), we answered the question "What if Josh was one of us?", and Ede introduced us to the first (of many to come) Women in Sports question based on the Secret Santa gift he was given (Thanks David) #harleyquinn #sandiegosuperchargers #runningbacks #alvinbeans #hof #keeppounding #womeninsports #thanksdavid https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast 

David hosts this game with Matt D and Mason teaming up to face Markkus and Assistant Coach to our Patreon Team, Josh Snyder. David clearly had returning player Josh in mind when wrote this game, which featured a Dad joke inspired hafltime, and a return of the Missing Limerink.  Mason and Matt tried their best to throw David off his game out of the gate with their team name. David gets his revenge when Mason struggles to pronounce a pre- and post-game answer. The teams also learn some important lessons including that it is difficult to have your head be in Detroit if the rest of you is somewhere else, and even more importantly, a worm is not an arachnid. #mitchtrubisky #skydome #dadjokes #detroit #worm #arachnid https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast 

Josh hosts the first recorded game of 2025, and the teams set all kinds of milestones checking in. In this episode, all the players fight the cold weather (especially Tako in mid-50s California). We try and guess Eastern European first names (and are somehow aided by Gilbert Arenas?), create adult film parodies, and talk a lot about meats, including wondering what cut of steak the Donovan cut would be, and fondly remembering NASCAR Champion Big Beef and Phoenix Suns legend Bacon Busch. #percyjackin #armyofthedead #secretoftheooze #snowday                                                 https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast ,

Walling finally professionally hosts his contractually obligated yearly game pitting Assitant Coach Matt Coleman and Mason vs Markkus and Dougherty. In it, Walling kicks us off with a top tier dad joke, Mason raises some Ds throughout the game, we discuss pricey players and former Yankees, and the players attempt to get inside the mind of an enigma. In spite of all of his efforts to maintain professionalism, Walling breaks Markkus who breaks Walling in return during the third quarter.  #shannonsharpe #louholth #lisp #mettaworldpeace #glutenfree #pasta #auntjemima #ccmusicfactory #transferportal https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast ,

In this all-Benchwarmer game hosted by Josh, we discover that old Venezuelans are not Tako's forte, we imagine a world where Alan Rickman played a Batman villain, Ede asks "Is it a stupid face?" and informs us that his dad only watched Hunter and M*A*S*H, we were slightly surprised that Mason has never watched The Goonies, we speculate that Ice Pirates would be a great name for an EDM band and should open for Diplo, and we finally jumped the shark by referring to country singer Mel Tillis. #jumptheshark #thunder #turkeydinnerpotatochips #venezuela #alanrickman #batman #stupidface #hunter #mash #thegoonies #icepirates #diplo #meltillis https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast 

David hosts this all-Benchwarmer game that sees Eric Ede team with Matt Dougherty to take on the formidable team of Scott and Mason.  Despite the fact that David is hosting and Ede is playing, David avoids getting fired.  Ede declares that since 2024 has come to an end, he can stop the charade, and he doesn't have to be pro-woman any more.  However, he thinks that Dak Prescott still stinks.  If you are curious about what TV quotes may reference Frank Gore, or what makes Scott conjure the idea of a Nathan's Hot Dog contest with multiple countries, then please have a listen.

This 90s-heavy game was an all-Benchwarmer affair hosted by Eric Ede. In this episode, Josh opined that Tina Turner's calves should qualify her as an athlete, we discuss at length the sad history of child stardom that led Gentle Ben down a dark path (re: Cocaine Bear), it was discovered that David played the electric triangle (with a crank) with rockabilly pioneer Gene Vincent (Whooo?!), and Ede tricked all of us into singing for zero bonus points. #gentleben #cocainebear #90s #tinaturner #electrictriangle #genevincent #zerobonuspoints   https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Nick Arno and Harrison Smith (we found him!) from the Rounding Third Baseball Podcast join us for a podcast vs. podcast showdown against Scott and David, and it's a baseball-only episode! In this episode, we fix Major League Baseball by creating the Oakland Rays and Vancouver Eh's, we reinforce the mantra that every answer comes from baseball cards or video games, things get all Fricked up, halftime makes Scott feel like Mason, we try and remember if Tony Soprano coached Team Italy in the World Baseball Classic, and we think of Hall of Famers whose last name is Leg. #worldseries #canada #baseketball #italy #netherlands #mexico #japanesebaseball #roundingthirdpodcast https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

During this game, Scott appeased Matt with some old-school baseball names, autocorrect posed an alternate name for a podcast favorite for when they are slightly less than hot on the court, Dan stated "This is dumb" about an answer because he couldn't get Chicago out of his mind, Scott resurrected a quarter style that hadn't been used in over a year, Josh has officially ruined Rudy for Matt (#thruth #facts), and a perfectly good Pre and Postgame Halftime answer was wasted (I am Legend of Bagger Vance). #twix #toomuchfacemask #jordanlove #oldschool #simmer #thisisdumb #chicago #fillthegaps #rudy #iamlegend #thelegendofbaggervance https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

David Luks hosts this all-Benchwarmer game with Eric Walling & Josh teaming up to face Tako & Mason. It was a grouchy game all around as we learn early on that Mason is playing with a double ear infection, Walling has a hate scale, and Josh, well, Josh isn't a big fan of a David clue. Luckily (or Luksily?), most of that hits the cutting room floor before David and Josh have to make semantic arguments in a steel cage. The circle of hate is broken long enough for Mason & Tako to brainstorm about generic white guy names, and Tako poses Guardians Legend Ryan Garko as a guess. https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

In this episode, one team's name is directly connected to the answer to the first question of the game, Rickey Henderson gets added to Josh's Knucklehead Rolodex, Scott proclaims he had an answer "once you got to White Chicks," we decide that there is an "Aaron Rodgers Zone" which is the entire space between Knucklehead and FTG, a new Smashmouth parody is concocted ("Hey now, you're an All-Scott"), David becomes an oversharer, and it is declared that "We at the Benchwarmers Trivia Podcast do not acknowledge that anyone is older than David." #f1 #piastri #papaya #kat #rickeyhenderson #knucklehead #rolodex #whitechicks #aaronrodgers #smashmouth #all-scott #oversharer https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Assistant Coach John Ross hosts this fabulous game pitting Mason and Tako against Matt and Markkus. In this episode, we make a lot of noises, John has some legendary Pre and Post Games, we mention little-known Morehouse College quarterbacks, imagine a muscly Drew Bledsoe, try and avoid sneaky Canadians, spell lots of complicated names very poorly, and Markkus is hardcore triggered into another rant. #ActionBronson #BoxingDay #ReggieStocker #HBCU #RedVines #ErasTour #DariusRucker https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Assistant Coaches Trevor Hogg and Marc Grenier team up to present a game all about non-Big Three sports! In this episode, we wonder if colds are transmissable via Zoom, Walling has white guy country club problems and wishes death on an entire family, Josh declares war on Louisiana and is sent into a midlife darts crisis, and Luks and Tako fail to think about women, and have a "good talk". #sumo #pink #carrieunderwood #paralympics #olympics #goodtalk https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Head Coach Riley Scherer joins the bench and teams up with David to face Matt & Walling in this Ede hosted episode. In it we try to identify the guy with the neck, or does he have a neck, and which quarterback is the best to get stuff off of the top shelf. Also, David sets a record for being fired twice in one episode, Ede breaks everyone with his missing link, and Riley forecasts a future question answer with a Jennifer Lawrence pre and post game. #Giants #NewYorkGiants #Bills #BuffaloBills #JenniferLawrence #DobosDelights #Pixar #DakPrescott #CarsMovie #JerryJonesIsAGenius #Hungarian #Hungary https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Assistant Coach Adrian Bias returns to the bench for this Tako-hosted game. In this episode, the players are immediately put on edge with an all-golf first quarter; we discuss Scandanavian name origins, and how "it's gonna have a lot of vowels in it"; Scott and Adrian create the first all-athlete boy band, The Really New Edition; we play a quarter that is somehow five different quarter styles; and ultimately, we don't like change. #markthatcher #africa #kennyrogers #dollyparton #juvenile #thechallenge https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Equipment Manager Hugh Gitlin retuns to the bench in this Luks-hosted game. Hugh teamed with Eric to take on the duo of Scott & Mason. Despite his many appearances, Hugh still doesn't quite get the audio medium, imitating one player's batting stance, and sharing his recent gift from the MS-150 bike ride. The teams have a chance to play name generation for old-timey baseball names. Walling searches his roldoex for exercise names, and notes that one person clearly sounds like they were at Hogwarts. Scott also wishes for a new Disney show, "That's So David!". (it's not going to happen). And finally, our guest visits Hugh's Hideaway to come away with an answer. https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Assistant Coach Scott Hyland returned to the Bench for this Josh-hosted game. In it we learned that all four players would have dinner with a living baseball player if given the opportunity, that the players ponder if there is such a thing as a hereditary foot fetish, that Scott (Grimes) made reference to Dan's Benchwarmer grave, that Markkus thinks snooker sounds too much like a slur, that Scott (Hyland) wants the ChatGPT halftime to be retired, that Walling may agree with that sentiment as he responded "I hate that...go with it" to one of said halftime questions, and that Walling asked of his teammate, "Scott, name a country." #lollipop #barbershop #jonathanlucroy #shirsey #reggiewayne #waynebrady #hereditary #footfetish #grave #snooker #slur #chatgpt #nameacountry https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Assistant Coach Tim Geving returns to the Bench and teams up with Mason to face Markkus & Matt in this Ede-hosted game. In it, we learned that Tim & Mason don't want to get canceled, the Missing Link is not about people with huge hogs, a Weird Al-free halftime still has the teams singing, and the teams need a measuring stick for the Sporting Haikus round. #Prefontaine #Postfontaine #SimoneBiles #56inches #SlenderManOnSkates #PileOfHumanWaste #YouTakeTheGoodYouTakeTheBad #BJJ https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Assistant Coach Vinnie Iyer returns to the Bench for a Tako-hosted game. In this episode, we think about robust goatees, Josh's innocent mind doesn't consider the implications of a Bald Johnson, we pitch potential impressions for Markkus that have a slightly smaller tongue than Shannon Sharpe, wonder if Quentin Tarantino is a nepo baby, and get nostalgic about Sports Illustrated for Kids. #shannonsharpe #interiordecorating #taylorswift #baldjohnson #geography https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Eric Ede hosted this all-Benchwarmer game where we learned the following: that Eric only missed one syllable during his Sporting Haiku quarter, that the worst Missing Link performance resulted in both teams getting points (after talking it out together and throwing out a guess at the very last second), that Scott couldn't stop thinking about Kamala catching touchdown passes from Jameis Winston, that both Josh and Scott were canceled during the recording, and that Josh finally got wheelhouse questions with another "Weird Al" Halftime Show. #lefthander #syllable #haiku #missinglink #kamala #jameiswinston #weirdal #halftimeshow https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

First-time guest (and Assistant Coach) John Ross is joined by returning guest (and Assistant Coach) Dave Brown to play this Markkus-hosted game. In this episode, we pitch a sequel to The Program, which is mostly just paperwork; we pay tribute to the Humble Oracle, David Luks; John tries his best to give away an answer, but Matt and Dave refuse to take it; Tako is triggered by mentions of the 2002 World Series; Jason Williams and Rampage Jackson are not answers despite our best efforts; and Dak Prescott isn't as bad as the Erics make him out to be. #michaelcera #theprogram #worldseries #jasonwilliams #rampagejackson #dakprescott #albuquerque #timberwolves #javier #timotheechalamet #cowboysquarterbacks #snick https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast
