The Benchwarmers Trivia Podcast

EP 31: The Cajun Brady Hoke (featuring guest Jake Manne)

Jake Manne joins Dan on the bench against Mason and Josh in a great game hosted by Scott. Scott gets to pull out some dance moves during halftime (which no one will be able to see), the teams reminisce about some legendary NFL and NBA drafts busts, and Jake gives a unique take on a current NCAA coach. Plus, a new quarter style makes its podcast debut!

EP 30: Gheorghe Muresan's Cologne

In a 9th inning double switch, Dan hosts an all-benchwarmers game with Josh and Scott teaming up against Eric and Matt. Evidently Eric knows' A LOT about the year 2000, NHL expansion, astrological signs, and Gheorghe Muresan. Meanwhile, Dan is hell bent on making everyone aware of how great a sport Cricket is. And the pod has another first!

EP 29: Wahoo Whalers (featuring guest Chris Shen)

Guest Chris Shen joins the bench and teams up with Scott against Eric & Matt for a heck of a game hosted by Dan. One team was down big and stages a fierce comeback late in the 4th. In the episode we learned: More about snooker, shuttle cocks are fast, the Hartford Whalers had a beloved team song, what former Viking sat on the MN Supreme Court for years, and how to properly say Wow Nelly!

EP 28: Starring Vincent Price as Babe Ruth (featuring guest Trevor Hogg)

All things Wisconsin fan, Trevor Hogg, joined the bench with Eric, Scott and Mason for this episode hosted by Josh. In it we learned about Packer running backs, why the University of Wisconsin sued Washburn University, that Scott likes Rob Corddry, one team decides NOT to use it's mulligan even though they could, and sets an all-time low for points in a Missing Link round. Oh, and it's the University of Wisconsin, not THE Wisconsin University.

EP 27: Brian Boitano-h my balls! (featuring guest Markkus Ellis)

Markkus Ellis joins the guys on the bench for this episode hosted by Eric. In the episode we learn about NBA sixth man award winners, that in the 90's NFL QBs threw a lot of INTs, Eric LOVES the Mighty Ducks movies, he also writes a solid pre & post game, but then ruins all the good credit he made by asking a fourth quarter question that is nearly impossible.

EP 26: The Continuing Story of Snoopy and Prickly Pete (featuring guests Peter Andolina & Philip Sandford)

Geek Bowl teammates team up against each other for this one! Peter Andolina and Eric take on Philip Sandford and Dan in a game hosted by JJ. In the episode we lose ALL of our potential sponsors (looking at you Olive Garden!). We THINK JJ MIGHT like Drew Brees, just a guess though. And JJ struggles with some challenging team names.

EP 25: It's a Soft A (featuring guest Scott Barber & Wesley Wells)

Two members of the Sinister Six trivia team join the bench to face Scott & Matt. Dan hosts with a duplicate Deans List (Ooops!), a bear of a Missing Link round, a David v Goliath that gets swept, and a new high score is set.

BTP Fantasy Banter

In this Bonus Episode Scott and Eric discuss all the ins and outs of Fantasy Football while Matt pretends to sound smart listening to them and laughing once in a while. We go over some positions tiers, some sleepers, draft strategies and some fantasy football oddities.

EP 24: Flirting with the Mendoza Line (featuring guests John Pina & Trey Kelso)

Guests John Pina and Trey Kelso join the bench for a wild game hosted by Josh. In the episode, one team almost gets blanked in Pre & Post Game; but luckily didn't get traded for a player to be named later. Both teams also struggle with NFL Pick Six leaders. We also learn that The Simpsons have had a lot of athletes on their show, and that both teams know the NHLer who loves to lick. Lastly, John reveals that his sister's name is actually Yamaguchi Pina.

EP 23: You thought we were done with Omaha? (featuring guest Nicolle Neulist)

Guest Nicolle Neulist joins us for a fun, exciting game that will have you singing along! Nicolle teams up with Eric in a nail biter against Scott and Dan. The players attempt to use the “Know Your Host” strategy to answer Matt’s questions involving Beastie Boys lyrics, triple crown winners and Polish soccer stars. Matt also spins us right round like a record in the 4th quarter. And we THINK Matt's wife is from Nebraska... not sure though.
