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

EP 311: The Smash Mouth Ship of Theseus (featuring Equipment Manager Yael Wylie)
Tuesday Jul 08, 2025
Tuesday Jul 08, 2025
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

EP 310: This Is a Farce!
Tuesday Jul 01, 2025
Tuesday Jul 01, 2025
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

EP 309: He Died the Next Day (featuring General Manager Riley Scherer)
Tuesday Jun 24, 2025
Tuesday Jun 24, 2025
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

EP 308: All I am is a cheerleader right now (featuring guest host Nick Arno)
Tuesday Jun 17, 2025
Tuesday Jun 17, 2025
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

EP 307: Andrew Versus the Tornado (featuring guest Andrew Vahlenkamp)
Tuesday Jun 10, 2025
Tuesday Jun 10, 2025
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

EP 306: Lazy Eye Bob Iglesias (featuring Assistant Coach Dave Brown)
Tuesday Jun 03, 2025
Tuesday Jun 03, 2025
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

EP 305: Poutine Roy (featuring General Manager Riley Scherer)
Tuesday May 27, 2025
Tuesday May 27, 2025
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

EP 304: Kurt Rhombus (featuring Assistant Coach Byron Grubman)
Tuesday May 20, 2025
Tuesday May 20, 2025
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. Finally, on the first day, God said, "Let there be Luks." #chupacabra #siblings #yallming #rhymetime #toomanypierces #errol #floyd #errborne #chensanity #brokenfreakinneck #rickporcello
