A new first for the pod! We have a guest host! John Southard crafted a GREAT game that at some times stumped the all-benchwarmer teams of Scott & Mason versus JJ and Eric. In this episode we learn what the tools of ignorance are, what NBA brothers got traded for each other, Rowdy Roddy Piper was a great entertainer, and JJ loves to give the answer to questions, forcing his partner to pick that answer.

Josh hosts this game that features Scott and Eric against Matt and guest Tim Simplot. Matt violates a trademarked phrase, our guest may have been the first child on the moon, and there are WAY too many Minnesota questions. Josh writes a game that is chock full of dead people, and finally adapts to the 4th quarter category naming convention that has long been the bane of his existence!

Guest Scott Gant joins the bench to team up with Eric against Dan & Josh in a game hosted by Scott. In the game we learn that Dan does not like Reggie Miller, who Jordin Sparks' dad is and Arian Foster is interesting. We also have multiple answers backed into, and reference Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway like 6 times.

Marc Grenier brings all of his New England knowledge and then some to team up with Dan in this episode hosted by Eric. Scott and Matt struggle with a couple Mighty Ducks questions. No one knew some ridiculous Eric Olympics question. And somehow we have Tony Amonte owning a pizza joint in Boston.

Andy Steinbrenner joins Mason in this game against Scott and JJ, with Dan in the hosting chair. We embrace our inner poets with a Haiku round, JJ wants to fight the entire United Kingdom, Mason almost gets abducted, and we have probably lost EA as a sponsor. So do your best Will Farrell impression and join us for a well fought game by both teams.

Byron Grubman joins the Bench and teams up with Scott against Eric and Josh in a game hosted by Mason. The teams rack their brains about NCAA lacrosse teams, Scott gets to hear Dominique Moceanu’s name once again and regrets not looking at The Bench on Facebook, and one team remembers that Landry Fields still exists.

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!

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!

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!

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.
