The Benchwarmers Trivia Podcast (Sports Trivia)

Assistant Coach and long-time Sporting News writer Vinnie Iyer joins the bench, teaming with Ede in a highly competitive match against Markkus & David. On script, Ede hates halftime and forgets to read a question, and the game gets to Bingo before the 1st quarter is over. Dan goes old school with a few questions, and also experiments with some extremely David questions. Aside from that, was it *really* Dorothy Hamill who voiced the Joker? #lindseyvonn #sportingnews #readthequestion #toomuchdavid #davidquestions #bingo #oldschool

Assistant Coach Tim Geving pinch hits last minute, returning to the bench to team with Dan in a competitive match against Josh and Mason. This David-hosted game generates the usual ridicule for the Simple Farm Boy. Of course, David brings it on himself by asking David-questions in a David vs. Goliath round, and Josh piles on with some classic eye-rolling at halftime. In other moments, Mason also posits that Shakespeare may have been referred to as Billy Shakes on the streets and asks whether it is possible that there was a football player who went by the name of "Another Day," while Dan remembers that one quarterback may have played for 23 different teams (or close to that). #anotherday #billyshakes #eyeroll #davidquestions #simplefarmboy #johnurschel

Guest Andrew Vahlenkamp teams up with Mason to face Dan & Matt in this Ede hosted game. In it Mason appologizes for Andrew choosing to team up with him, Mason suspects a hidden food theme, this episode may contain shell fish, and for some reason Little Spanish Flea runs through everyone's head. #HerbWilliams #TijuanaBrass #HerbAlbert #HerbBrooks #BurgerKingHerb #HerbDean #PeachsAndHerb #JustinHerbert #HerbieHancock #HerbThomas #HerbAdderley #HerbieTheLoveBug #HerbStemple #HerbertBeerbohmtree #KertHrbek

Ryan Meyers returned to the Bench as a player in this Josh-hosted game. In it, we learned that Ede doesn't know all hockey questions, and he still knows nothing about women's sports, that Josh confused German footballer Bastian Schweinsteiger with Braunschweiger, and finally that Ede confused an American President with a McDonalds character. #herpes #yachtrock #hockey #women #braunschweiger #presidents #mcdonalds

The crew discusses these episodes: Dan's Fireside Trivia Part 2 EP 185: Pit Stains: Team Bonding (featuring Assistant Coach Sam Collins) EP 186: Rheumatoid Arthritis Dickey EP 187: Children Of the Candy Corn

Head Coach David Fudor joined the Bench for this Eric-hosted game. In it, we learned that Eric is buying his wife thigh-high winter boots for Christmas, that David was in a great mood with Argentina winning the World Cup until Markkus went rogue during the Missing Link, that Scott knows way too much about Nickleback, that Josh was confused why an MMA fighter had to get naked to perform a rear choke hold, and that Eric couldn't even say the name of the Clipboard Captain after his Cowboys lost to the Jaguars. #mouthbreather #rihanna #breanna #thighhigh #argentina #worldcup #nickleback #rearnakedchoke

Dan hosted this episode featuring Markkus and David versus Walling and Matt. In it, we learned what types of sports make people a good drunk, a lot about 1980s commercials, David likes to take the hard ones, and mark your bingo cards, because there's an epic Markkus rant. #candycorn #drunk #1980s #hardones #bingo

Matt hosted this initial-laden game pitting two Benchwarmer teams against each other. In it, we learned there would be whistles-a-plenty during the game, that numerous questions/answers involved people straight out of Josh's Rolodex, and that both Dan and Walling are "Dueling Not Hintsters." #radickey #initials #whistle #rolodex #ftg #nohintneeded

The team welcomed first-time guest Sam Collins to the Bench. Sam teamed with Dan to compete against Mason and Scott in this David-hosted game, though David-questions were notably kept to a minimum. In this episode, Dan offers to name five good field hockey teams west of the Mississippi, though thankfully no one takes him up on his offer. Later, Scott rejects Bruce Chen as an answer, largely because he may never be an answer for the Benchwarmers again. #needforspeed #readforede #fieldhockey #brucechen

 

For the second year in a row, Dan leads a Fireside Chat with his trivia friends Graig Zethner, Scott Barber, and Gary Middleton. Gary educates everyone about curling, Graig goes through his educational career via sports, and Dan returns with another stream-of-consciousness set of trivia questions.
