The Benchwarmers Trivia Podcast

EP 308: All I am is a cheerleader right now (featuring guest host Nick Arno)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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

EP 303: White Wolves (featuring guest host Drew Topp)

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

EP 302: BTP Group Therapy

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

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)

EP 301: Don't ask Ede about a movie called "The Hammer" (featuring guest Trey Cleeter)

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
