Ede hosts this game, pitting the first-ever pairing of the Benchwarmer Daves vs. Scott & Equipment Manager of our Patreon team, John Ross. In this game, Luks & Wortz nearly pull off the biggest backup truck answer ever, and in the same round, John and Scott have one of the most awkward misses ever. When John recovers, he points out that it really doesn't take much to get minutes with the Sacramento Kings when he says, "I'm close to getting minutes with the Kings". We also get to an all-time Bermanism: Al Iafrate No Ghost. Also, find out who we deem to be a ColorALdo (sic) legend. #woodyjohnson #backuptruck #sacramentokings #aliafrate #alharrington #rikspitz https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Trey Cleeter returns to the Bench, teaming up with Scott against Bohmbach and Dave in a Tako-hosted game. In this episode, Dave and Bohmbach attempt to spoil a future question with their team name, Scott and Trey have to decide on an answer between one-fourth of Petey Pablo's Freek-a-Leek, Dave does one of the more impressive things ever heard on the Benchwarmers Trivia Podcast, we talk a lot of smack about Field of Dreams, and we consider what a world would be if Greg Norman were a football coach. #ohio #bodydonnas #chrispratt #oscartavares #lisasalters #soulpatrol #peteypablo #yungjoka #fieldofdreams #gregnorman https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

David hosts this episode, featuring Equipment Manager Ian Hollenberg, teaming with Walling, competing against Scott and the newest Benchwarmer, Josh Snyder. The teams struggle early with some rhyming scheme issues, until Snyder points out to Scott that they aren't obligated to rhyme when they talk to each other. Snyder and Scott wonder whether it is possible that there was actually a player named Ding Dong. The team also tries to fit a theme with players such as Tommy Discovery, Johnny Bravo, or the under-appreciated FX Robinson.  Please tune in to see if Scott and Snyder can actually get out of the cesspool of loss, or off the Schnyder. And remember: when it comes to some sports, humans don't do the sport, the horse does. #chuckwoolery #heismantrophy #rhymingishard #dingdong #johnnybravo #offtheschnyder https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

New guest Matt Fraier joined the Bench for this game hosted by Josh (the non-rabbi). In this episode, Matt calls Dave "Rude!" after a shot is taken at Murray State, Walling doesn't think that Will Shipley had a dad..., Mason would like us to stay away from John Popper, Dave and Mason were stuck on double letters, and Dave stated during the Halftime Show that "I don't like that." #samcassell #hpnotiq #hennessey #nonrabbi #rude #murraystate #willshipley #johnpopper #doubleletters #idontlikethat https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Josh Snyder returns to the bench to host this game with more mishegas (Yiddish for shenanigans) than Michigan for returning guest Jake Manne. Eric Ede and Jake bury the hatchet long enough to team up against Scott and David Luks, who find out Jake’s dad is a fellow 8/5er. As chaos reigns during "Pre- and Post-Game ..and Concessions", there are multiple concussions as Luks and Ede are nearly broken by Snyder’s rule-breaking. Scott resorts to Kraken Skulls, David is down, and Jake pulls a Markkus. Ede is bouncing between frustration that he knows the answer but doesn’t know why or how and using his geography bee and deep Weird Al discography to insta-check, while Jake lies on the ground with a hatchet in his back. By the time everyone is done flopping after an epic finish, a new Benchwarmer (Menschwarmer? Tenthwarmer?) has emerged - and it's Snyder! #michiganandmishegasfan #partyingwithjakesdad #letsburythehatchetrightinhisback #lukstheboomerang #avalancheblindspot #krakenskulls #preandpostgameandconcessions #riverturnandflop #toomuchbiggestballoftwineinminnesota  https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

In this Tako-hosted game, Assistant Coach Will Weiss teams up with Mason to take on Josh and Scott, who have no chance of winning since they aren't playing against Ede. In this episode, Scott earns Triple Gold Club status, Alonzo Mourning plays defense, Scott can't think of any Black Russians, Josh makes what has to be the first Caroline in the City reference in BTP history, Tako takes an intentional dig at Markkus in their ongoing Oregon-Washington feud, we ask, "Why would you ever want to leave Detroit?" and in the end, the teams end up right back where they started. #alonzomourning #carolineinthecity #oregon #washington #detroit #chinesebasketball #alldefensiveteam #itsokayimalimodriver https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Tommy Wortz, host of the Leadoff Show in Milwaukee, makes his debut on the Bench to partner with his brother Dave, our latest Benchwarmer. Their opponents were Eric Ede and David Luks in this Walling-hosted affair. Walling brought the return of the Shannon Sharpe-inspired pre- and post- game round, which basically resulted in Luks sounding like Daffy Duck. Perhaps if he had followed Dave's advice and just played with peanut butter in his mouth. The teams also named Luks' new funk band - David & the Ghost Chair.  Early on, Dave mistakes a Milwaukee Brewer former infielder for Wiki Leaks. And we return to our discussion on which MLB manager has a massive head. Luks may have also learned in this episode who the Rizzler is. #kajagoogoo #kajagoogooglechromebook #gustypopup #peanutbutter #minorleader https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Dave Wortz returned to the Bench to host his first official episode as the newest Benchwarmer <add applause here>. During the game, we all agreed that Trevor Lawrence and Trent Richardson "had good season" and Dave informed the teams that David was very happy about a Jewish-sounding nickname, but unfortunately it was not Dr. Layupstein (aka Maccabee Cohenbergstein)...he was known for playing below the rim. Lastly, Josh fell victim to posting answers in the main chat - Thanks, Zoom! <insert eyeroll here> #undeserved #lynnswann #kurtwarner #garycarter #haroldbaines #weirdal #aliafrate #41eggs #trevorlawrence #trentrichardson #tugofwords #drlayupstein #maccabeecohenbergstein #thankszoom https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Assistant Coach Marc Grenier returns to the Bench after a 9-month hiatus to team with Scott, competing against Markkus & Eric Ede.  Luks hosts the game and witnesses Markkus throwing a tirade on question 1. It really doesn't take much. Both teams foreshadow an answer from the 4th quarter in early discussions. Important life questions are also pondered; for example, who has Ben Affleck not been dating? And did Steve McNair play for the A's?  Ede also accuses Luks of taking artistic liberties in the pre- and post-game round - a charge which Luks vehemently denied. #adamdunn #hiatus #benaffleck #stevemcnair #athletics #artisticliberties https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Head Coach Dave Wortz and Equipment Manager Hugh Gitlin returned to the Bench for this Josh-hosted game. Walling wished everyone a Happy Hatch Chili Season before he rubbed his eye after handling peppers...PSA - wash your hands! In this episode, Markkus checked out of an entire quarter due to the sports involved, after a Halftime Show question Dave imagined Benchwarmers in claymation, we learned that F1 legend Michael Schumacher directed two Batman movies (Bat nipples? Really?!), and for a second time since Zoom changed their chat function, a team has given away an answer in the main chat. #miketyson #kiss #iowa #hatchchili #washyourhands #claymation #michaelschumacher #batman #batnipples #checkyourchat #thankszoom https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

It's an all-Benchwarmer affair, and an all-women's sports game! In this episode, Scott tries to trade David to Throwback Trivia Takedown before the trade deadline, one team has their name changed mid-episode to the Old Pervs (guess which one?), we have a Magic Mike/Disney crossover discussion, we discuss softball pitchers who look like they play football at North Dakota, and ask the philosophical question, "What is the Arabic Smith?" #walsh #mingnawen #watchwomenssports #thisnamehasnovowels https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Assistant Coach David Fudor returned to the Bench for this Ede-hosted game. During Ede's all-hockey Curriculum Vitae quarter, Tako inquired if Ede was talking about Vince or Dom when referencing Wayne Gretzky's brother. After that quarter was finished, Josh proclaimed that "we are good at hockey questions" (and you may be too). During halftime, Josh was wondering what Disney film featured a waterslide tycoon (note that he had never seen any of the three movies, but Mason had). And once again, Ede tried to kill off Skip Bayless by mentioning him during the fourth quarter. #normalsizedhands #hockey #vinceordom #waynegretzky #disney #waterslidetycoon #skipbayless https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Head Coach Dave Wortz returned to the Bench for this Tako-written game hosted by Markkus. For the first time, Dave did not have a new job to announce during introductions. With it being Episode 316, Markkus busted out his best Lou Holtz impersonation of Stone Cold Steve Austin. Josh declared his frustration with loose rhyming schemes. We also learned about the illustrious(?) history of U.S. Olympic race walking, including two-time bronze medalist Larry Young (1968 and 1972). #fantasticfour #skins #what #whataburger #stonecold #steveaustin #mumblerap #racewalking #larryyoung #janvesely #kimbo #weloveyoufrance https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Scott Hyland returned to the Bench and drew the short straw, having to team up with Josh, for this music-heavy Mason-hosted game. After the first two questions Josh proclaimed that the game was #toomuchminnesotaadjacent, but it did not take long for him to get super salty during the second quarter (and not solely due to a repeat quarter style). However, classical music saved the day and lifted Josh out of his salt funk. We discovered that Reggie Roby was a three-sport athlete as he was a catcher for the Colorado Rockies and a big man for the Washington Wizards. Walling invented a new genre of music known as Bafredwa (not sure which larger genre it fits within, but it's probably yacht rock, knowing Walling). And we had a lively discussion about tall and ugly Wizards (Gandalf excluded). #rjharvey #music #salty #classicalmusic #reggieroby #coloradorockies #washingtonwizards #bafredwa #yachtrock #gandalf https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Assistant Coach Jerry Philbin joins the squad to team with Tako, competing against Scott & Mason, in this David-hosted game. From the get-go, it is clear that Scott has forgotten that he has teamed with Mason more than 20 times in the past, as he treats him like a guest. Mason demonstrates his knowledge of first ladies of the U.S., going back to Grace Coolidge, cutting himself off there before he gets all the way back to Babe Van Buren. Later in the game, Tako compares the 1999 Orlando Magic to Colorado Rockies catchers - we clearly can't remember either one. (Unless you are Scott Grimes, of course). #firstladies #gracecoolidge #babevanburen #orlandomagic #coloradorockies https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Newcomer Colin Ireland joined the Bench to team up with Benchwarmer Emeritus Dan, reuniting half of an old trivia team (The Four Horsemen), in this #toomuchminnesota Josh-hosted game. Early on, Dan inquired if a stanza from a Sporting Haiku question was a Meatloaf reference, which triggered Scott to say, "Oh, hi mom!" Mason informed the crew that he had a dream recently that was similar to a Halftime Show movie plot. Mason also thought that a movie titled "Celtic Pride, Cowboy Ride" could be a hit (stay tuned, you may hear the trailer for it if we ever have a second Benchies episode). And last, but not least, Mason and Scott introduced us to the infamous German-Finnish NHL enforcer Nöpe Same (pronounced Noo-pay Sah-may). #karlanthonytowns #fourhorsemen #meatloaf #himom #celticpride #cowboyride #nhl #nopesame https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Scott hosted this fascinating matchup when Assistant Coach Trevor Hogg teamed with unable-to-pronounce-his-own-name Tako against Assistant Coach John Ross and Notorious Steals Guy, David. The teams were challenged with some great trivia, but managed to work in discussions of lost NBA brother, Lopez Lopez, all the reasons an answer could NOT be Nelson Cruz, and the all-important question: Is Carl Crawford an 80s police cop? We also witness the return of Jermichael Finley (and were thankful that Josh wasn't there to witness it). And finally, perhaps in a podcast first, two people were thinking of Cole Aldrich, preceded by David thinking of rappers. #reggie #nba #lopezlopez #nelsoncruz #carlcrawford #jermichaelfinley #colealdrich https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Equipment Manager Yael Wylie returned to the Bench to host this game. It was determined early that Limp Bizkit is the Nickelback of rap rock, Josh proclaimed "I'm dumb!" when he forgot there was a theme to Sporting Haikus (but are we 100% sure Mikko Rantanen isn't of Asian decent?), Ede is pretty sure that Takeo Spikes is French, Scott's favorite Eagle-Eye Cherry song is "Save Tinnitus," and much to the delight of Josh, everybody reminisces about great(?) 90s alt-rock. #311 #smashmouth #shipoftheseus #limpbizkit #nickleback #mikkorantanen #takeospikes #eagleeyecherry #90s https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

David hosted this underappreciated (or maybe properly appreciated) All-Benchwarmer game. We had trivia that was powered by Ancestry.com, where we learned that Kobe Bryant could be 3rd cousins with Steve Nash (but unlikely). The teams discussed who might voice Pablo Sandoval in a cartoon tribute to the mid-2010s San Francisco Giants. There was an early discussion of Mason appearing on Naked and Afraid - The Game Show. Most importantly, we learned that, like George McFly, David doesn't know the difference between density and destiny (or dynasty). #farce #ruebenrandle #eyeroll #ancestrydotcom #kobebryant #stevenash #pablosandoval #nakedandafraid #georgemccfly https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/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: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast
