EP 329: Why don't we have an ABA team? (featuring Assistant Coach Scott Hyland)

4 days ago

Assistant Coach Scott Hyland returned to the Bench for this Dave-hosted game. In this episode, Dave scored a trifecta with three Whooo?! calls from Bohmbach, Snyder checked in with the semi-inappropriate answer of Ronal...do's Nuts, we learned that a certain fast food franchise has items in Milwaukee that don't seem to exist anywhere else #shakegate, there are apparently 123 ABA teams that completed at least one game last season, and lastly we pondered on this question, "Is ChatGPT racist?" #bwaba #6-7 #powersofjosh #whooo #ronaldo #milwaukee #chatgpt

EP 328: We Call That a Woody Johnson (featuring Equipment Manager John Ross)

Tuesday Nov 04, 2025

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

EP 327: That's Right, Birds Do Swoop (featuring guest Trey Cleeter)

Tuesday Oct 28, 2025

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

EP 326: Chuck Woolery, Heisman Trophy Winner (featuring Equipment Manager Ian Hollenberg)

Tuesday Oct 21, 2025

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

EP 325: Second Ugliest Player Next to Sam Cassell (featuring guest Matt Fraier)

Tuesday Oct 14, 2025

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

EP 324: Yiddish Mischief (featuring guest Jake Manne)

Tuesday Oct 07, 2025

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

EP 323: Can You Say Kikuchi on a Podcast? (featuring Assistant Coach Will Weiss)

Tuesday Sep 30, 2025

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

EP 322: Are we in the Trust Tree? (featuring guest Tommy Wortz)

Tuesday Sep 23, 2025

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

EP 321: "Undeserved" Hosted by Lynn Swann

Tuesday Sep 16, 2025

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

EP 320: He Walked So Adam Dunn Could Run (featuring Assistant Coach Marc Grenier)

Tuesday Sep 09, 2025

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
