EP 367: Air Bud: Endgame (featuring guest host and Assistant Coach Trevor Hogg)

2 days ago

1hr 14 min

OG Assistant Coach Trevor Hogg returned to the Bench to host this game, which pitted Bohmbach and Dave versus Mason and Snyder. During this episode, we mused about what a Post-modern Pentathlon would entail, we learned about legendary college football coach Herman Twoadays, we got to experience a temporary team name change during halftime ("Two Masons, One Team"), we came to an agreement that there are too many initialisms, and Bohmbach asserted that he "went to school with some real Todds, not just the proverbial Todds." Lastly, we ponder the question, "How does Randy Johnson get so small?" #airbud #endgame #thefateofbuddythedog #todd #initialisms #nftg #nsfw #phrasing #xfiles #randyjohnson #small

EP 366: Chiefs legend Tiny Gonzalez...cousin of Tiny Martinez (featuring guest Kyle Molitor)

Aug 11, 2026

1hr 2 min

New guest and friend of the Podcast Kyle Molitor (no relation to Paul) joins the Bench to team with Walling to face Markkus and Scott. Our guest fits in well by missing part of a question - and calling himself for a 2-minutes for skimming penalty. We have other misreads - the clues says Lager, not Logger! We also learn about the lead singer of Lipps, Inc. And let's just watch our pronunciation when we discuss the Big Blocks guys. #chiefs #scooby #paulmolitor #twominutesforskimming #lager #logger #lippsinc

EP 365: Good-Time Slim, Uncle Doobie, and the Great "Frisco Freak-Out" (featuring Gabe Pulver & Jamie Hirsh of the Menschwarmers Podcast)

Aug 4, 2026

1hr 18 min

Snyder hosts as Dave and Bohmbach take on Gabe Pulver and Jamie Hirsh from the Menschwarmers podcast in a game featuring Jewish Sports Quarterly All-Stars. Gabe names Bohmbach a “Mike Jacobs All-Star” (sounds Jewish but isn’t), along with hammer toss champ Ethan Katzberg. In the first quarter, Luks reveals Bob Geldof’s unknown child, Zach, and Gabe recalls Charles Barkley racing Dick Bavetta. During a second-quarter Missing Link, Gabe remembers Remember the Titans, and guesses that the Jewish link might somehow be related to papal names. In halftime, we learn that Nemo’s dad came up with the theory of relativity, and that the star of a Fish Called Wanda could have been Jamie Lee …Schwartz??? The third quarter sees both teams go deep in the very shallow pool of Jewish Quarterbacks, as the Menschwarmers unwrap the kimono on Scott Zolak, and query (quite un-Jewishly, I might add) that if Charlie Whitehurst was clipboard Jesus, was his dad David “clipboard God”? In a very Luks moment, David makes a pop culture reference to Allan Sherman, who did “Harvey and Sheila.” The Menschwarmers answer at least two questions correctly because of Jewish Geography, and while kibbitzing in the fourth quarter, David shares that, contrary to popular belief, he was not at the 1946 All-Star Game, because it was his Bar Mitzvah. No one gets Snyder’s clue on the last question, and we end by exchanging misdelivered mail. #philiproth #riseball #demardiedforthis #Jewishgeography #MichaelJordon #LuksisBostonPops

EP 364: Bell Biv DeLundberg (featuring Assistant Coach John Ross)

Jul 28, 2026

59 min

Assistant Coach John Ross returns to the Bench in this Tako-hosted game. In this episode, Walling assures us that they have medicine for that, Dave tries to get us all in trouble with HR for Googling things that should not be Googled at work, Scott turns into Benchwarmers Icarus with his soccer and Mark Wahlberg hubris, both teams attempt to 3-2-1 Nik Stauskas for the first time in podcast history, and we posit the theory that Post Malone and Willie Cauley-Stein could actually be the same person. #bellbivdevoe #olindomare #radickey #google #nsfw #icarus #markwahlberg #nikstauskas #postmalone #williwcauleystein

EP 363: Between Two Benchwarmers (featuring Assistant Coaches Jerry Filbin and Adrian Bias)

Jul 21, 2026

1hr 12 min

Assistant Coaches Adrian Bias and Jerry Filbin join Dave and Mason on the bench for a Snyder-hosted game that starts out a little like a certain Zach Galifianakis show. After Jerry informs us that Brendan Sorsby has been banned from NFL Europe, the Missing Link is, well, very missing. In the second, Adrian knows CBA players, and Dave gets irate with the NHL original 6, and with Jerry for knowing the Goliath answers without telling him. Appropriately, we take a halftime trip to the liquor store, where Jerry extols an answer for “tasting good coming back up”. In the “Let it Ride” third, Dave inaugurates the Roman Reigns Award for Best Practice Squad Defensive End. After some complicated wagering in the fourth, Snyder clues a bonus question with references to moose and diabetes, leading Dave to declare: I have one of those! And leading the rest of the crew to inquire: You have a moose? #everythingchanges #Moussadiabate #namepolynesians #messysabreball

EP 362: Has Nothing Ever Happened in Myanmar? (featuring Assistant Coach Marc Grenier)

Jul 14, 2026

1hr 59 sec

Assistant Coach Marc Grenier returns to the Bench to team with Scott and compete against Bohmbach & Tako. In the first quarter, the teams managed to have an obvious answer with a "3-2-1 Response", and then soon after, a difficult question brings them to a "1-2-3 Silence." David is criticized for his questions (blasphemous!) as Tako implies David doesn't know what difficult is, and then later Scott jumps the gun on an answer that David may not have thought through (again, blasphemous!). At one stage, Tako suggests we talk about Lynn Swann with the sole purpose of pissing off Markkus, and David accuses one team of just having the Wrong Long. Watch out for the return of Wemby Jones, and oh yes, if anyone is curious, mugs should still be available. #myanmar #321 #123 #blasphemous #lynnswann #wronglong #wembyjones #mugs

EP 361: Purple Drank Lafayette (featuring Equipment Manager and guest host Chris Shen)

Jul 7, 2026

1hr 24 min

Long-time guest, Benchie Award winner, and Equipment Manager for our Patreon team Chris Shen returns to the bench to host this great game! In this episode, we discuss women who take public transportation, reaffirm that Jon Heder is definitely not Tongan, and ask the eternal question, "What is the Powerslap of Curling?" #benchie #publictransportation #bobbyorr #jonheder #tongan #powerslap #curling

EP 360: I Question His Physical Fitness (featuring Assistant Coach Sam Cook)

Jun 30, 2026

54 min

Assistant Coach Sam Cook returns to the Bench for this Tako-hosted game. In this episode, Luks gets to hear the correct pronunciation of Chimere Dike, there is a game-changing Missing Link ruling, we briefly become a Benjamin Franklin podcast, there is a golf-hockey crossover that somehow doesn't involve Happy Gilmore, and Dave tries to recall an answer he learned while drunk. #chimeredike #missinglink #benjaminfranklin #happygilmore

EP 359: Can I Click the Hyperlink? (featuring Equipment Manager David Fudor)

Jun 23, 2026

1hr 23 min

Longtime Supporter and Equipment Manager David Fudor returns to the Bench to team with Dave as the Mortarboard (NOT Motorboat) Double D's to take on the team of Bohmbach and Mason in this Snyder-hosted game. Dave invents the game of Strugball, which is played in Alabama rather than Quebec. The Odd One Out becomes 19th-Century Rules Odd One In as Bohmbach uncaps his veto pen, and Dave proclaims, "That is a LOT of sawdust!" When Snyder experiences technical difficulties during the halftime song quiz Pre-and-Post Game, David proclaims the answer is "The Sounds of SiLance Armstrong". Plus, Bohmbach RAPS! Snyder's fourth quarter lack of editing leaves Mason grasping for straws with a run of gems: "Can I click the hyperlink?"; "What is this - an escape room?"; "I don’t understand why all these capital letters are in here – this is how Donald Trump punctuates his sentences!"; and, at last, "Good old Bobby Grapefruit." In the end, just like after any good sporting event (as Dan would say), the clues leave both teams feeling dirty and needing a shower. #overunder #ballsports #oddonein #pomade #queensberries #eurostep #positivek #pantherpride #worldcup #bowlerhats
