Assistant Coach Josh Snyder joined the bench and hosted this game that featured all-benchwarmer players with teams of Eric Walling & Scott Grimes versus Matt Dougherty & Matt Takimoto. In it, we learned about uncastrated wild boar Wednesday, Vodka Drunkinski to wash down your Drysdale Chicken, D2 the Mighty Ducks makes a comeback, Josh discovers a new way to monetize leisure activities, special teams are very unspecial, and no one remembers kick sixes. Oh, and Walling got a 1330 on his SATs. #SATS #WildBoardWednesday #UncleRicoEnergy #TopKite #ScottNorton #JohnDenver #IWasToldThereWouldBeNoShakespeare #1330 #SecondBestGlennon #SuperCanadians #SuperMario 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

Tuesday Dec 05, 2023
Tuesday Dec 05, 2023
Assistant Coach Dave Wortz returned to the Bench for this thicc game hosted by Josh. In it we learned that Bruce Bochy's hat size is 8-1/4 (thus the episode title), that Steve is a good dad name, that Dave DeBusschere's last name shoud be pronounced Début Chéri, that a certain Husky quarterback has "Big Penix energy," that it's pronounced "Garbage," that there was entirely too much How I Met Your Mother slander, and that while Josh may sometimes sound Canadian both Ede (who is Canadian) and Markkus live closer to the border...and the closest border to Dave is Taco Bell. #brucebochy #markbuehrle #husky #thicc #steve #davedebusschere #début #chéri #michaelpenix #garbage #himym #canadian #tacobell 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 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

EP 230: Balls Ede has seen
Tuesday Nov 21, 2023
Tuesday Nov 21, 2023
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

EP 229: Wendell Scott Legend Wendell Scott (featuring guest Jake Manne)

Tuesday Nov 14, 2023
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

EP 227: Spin Urkel (featuring Head Coach Philip Sanford)
Tuesday Oct 31, 2023
Tuesday Oct 31, 2023
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

EP 225: Haiku Imposter Syndrome (featuring Assistant Coach Marc Grenier)
Tuesday Oct 17, 2023
Tuesday Oct 17, 2023
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
