Assistant Coach David Fudor returned to the Bench for this Matt Takimoto-hosted game. In it we learned that the Benchwarmers are looking for an apple sponsor (like the Buffalo Bills), that USC is STILL cheating, that the ACC will have to change its name when Cal and Stanford join their conference (All Coastal Conference; All Country Conference; Any College Conference); that Matt's Halftime Show wasn't a Pre & Post Game but was a "squish," that Taylor Swift finally made an appearance (in question form) on the podcast, and that the name Biker Sherlock is misleading. #quarterback #philiprivers #jordanaddison #apple #buffalobills #usc #acc #cal #stanford #squish #taylorswift #bikersherlock https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

David hosts this engaging all-Benchwarmer episode with Ede & Matt D teaming up against Matt T & Josh. Ede continues a theme with his team name, and it's all uphill from there. One benchwarmer poses the all important question: Just who is Geddy Lee? And that was before anyone had drunk their befuddlejuice. Ede throws out the answer of Sheryl Dimaggio, and not suprrisingly, it doesn't land. Josh challenges David's question writing by simply asking: Why would we want to have sports trivia that is actually about sports? It's a fair question. Oh, and let's not forget that Steph Curry's real name is Wardell. #balls #geddylee #befuddlejuice #dimaggio #fairquestion #stephcurry #wardell https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Scott hosts this edition of the BTP podcast, in which Jake Manne finally shows up to pay the piper (though honestly his only crime was carrying an undfeated record). In this game, the Benchwarmers tried diligently to help Mason name his to be child. The teams also discussed Omaha Palm Trees (as if), and concluded that Josh Allen has all the personality of an only child. One benchwarmer asserts, I have, "No Strategy; I have Ede". #undefeated #babynames #omaha #palmtrees #joshallen #whoneedstrategy https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Assistant Coach Adrian Bias and Equipment Manager Joe O'Brien returned to the Bench for this Walling-hosted game. In it, we learned that Walling and Joe were both suffering from jet lag from recent European trips, that Joe couldn't get Jonathan Cheechoo out of his head, that there should be a penalty box for BTP players (e.g., two minutes for skimming), that David could only get the rhythm of a player's name and not the name itself (it wasn't Wu-Tang Clan), and that Joe had two "misplaced feel bads" (ask David). Oh yeah, and archbishop Desmond Tutu got a shout-out during the episode. #flamingthumbtacks #tombrunansky #thewire #jetlag #europe #jonathancheechoo #penaltybox #rhythmofhisname #misplacedfeelbad #desmondtutu https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Head Coach Philip Sanford returns to host his (almost annual) all-basketball Benchwarmer game. The teams degenerate quickly into a discussion of just how many food pantries are in the state of Iowa (they still don't know). In an effort to help his teammate, Mason attempts to give a police sketch description of one answer. Ede also has many opportunities to overthink NBA answers. And of course, in team trivia, there are two players, but only one ball. #basketball #nba #wnba #collegebasketball #foodpantry #iowa #policesketch #overthInk #teamtrivia #twoplayers #oneball #urkel https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Assistant Coach Scott Hyland and guest Andrew Vahlenkamp returned to the Bench for this Josh-hosted game. In it, we learned that Scott Hyland wanted to submit a drawing as an answer (a stick figure with a mustache), that Kim Kardashian was married to a Minnesota Mr. Basketball, that Loy Vaught got a shoutout, that the name Randy O'Neal sounds very fireable, and that with the power of music and boxing, anything is possible. #wealth #superpower #penix #colorado #drawing #stickfigure #mustache #kimkardashian #minnesota #mrbasketball #loyvaught #randyoneal #music #boxing #anythingispossible https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Assistant Coach Marc Grenier returns to the Bench for this game hosted by Eric Ede. In it, we learned that the haiku police won't be happy with this game (counting syllables is hard), that you should just know that your gut is always better than a coin, that sometimes you can't trust the internet, that we will be starting a baby name pool for Mason's baby (with one name being a clear betting favorite), that you might not know this, but everyone is related, and that Matt Dougherty is still sleeping. #haikus #countingsyllablesishard #gut > #coin #canttrust #internet #babyname #everyoneisrelated #asleep

Guest Sam Collins returns to the Bench, teaming with Eric Ede, in a close game against Benchwarers Josh and Markkus. The teams have fun answering David's questions, surfacing Rick Mind-flayer, Giants legend Harry Carey, Mrs. Coliseum, and even Paul Westphal, before realizing he is no longer with us. One player wants to say something inappropriate, but gives up instead. We also see Eric evolve before our eyes, trying to read questions (or at least part of them). In the end, it doesn't matter, David still gets canceled, and Mason takes abuse even though he wasn't playing. #demogorgon #mindflayer #harrycarey #mrscoliseum #paulwestphal #inappropriate #ericsevolution #readthequestion #canceled #poormason https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast
