The Benchwarmers Trivia Podcast

EP18: The Brett Favre Backup Plan (featuring guest Tim Geving)

Matt hosted a game with guest Tim Geving teaming up with Mason, against the benchwarmer team of Scott & JJ. In the episode we covered: Perfection snatched away in the last second, that Brett Favre had a ton of good backups, the Pirates have had a tough run over the past 40 years, Matt loves talking about the ABA and he crams in another Lynn Dickey reference.

EP 17: We lost Matt Prater and Christian Bale as listeners (featuring Davo & Kels from the Brain Ladle Trivia Podcast)

Josh hosted a nail-biter of a game in which the Benchwarmer team of Matt and Scott were challenged by the Tag Team duo of Davo and Kels from the Brain Ladle Trivia Podcast. We found out that Kels isn't to be messed with when it comes to Oscar winners and that Davo likes to check in answers early without the assistance of his teammate (he probably should have waited). We also learned that there can be three Dean's Lists that can't be completed and that Matt tries to cheat in the Missing Link by submitting two themes at once...Nice try, Matt!

EP 16: Benchwarmers in Cars Answering Trivia (featuring guest Mike Williams)

Eric hosted a great game in which we learned that Raiders owner, Mark Davis does not have great hair, The 2000 NBA draft was NOT one of the all time greats, and that an NFL punter used to keep a candy bar in his shoe. We discuss every tight end in the NFL, and seem to confuse the two Ohio NFL teams. And now I am getting hungry. Guest Mike Williams teams up with Josh, against the team of Scott and Mason.

EP 15: Cheeks Richard (Featuring Levak & Goz of 104.5 The Team ESPN Radio New York)

Levack & Goz of 104.5 The Team ESPN Radio joined us on the bench for this game. Dan was rolling as the host until he slayed the ESPN boys in the third quarter. But this close game came down to the last question. In this episode we learned which cities have Big 12 schools, how handsome Eric Decker is, and that the theatre and NBA twitter are two VERY different things. We also found out who Terry Sawchuck is, and Maurice Cheeks Richard was created! Even Goz’s kid joined the fun as he hiccuped through this adventure!

EP 14: John Brodie Croyle (featuring guest Andrew Thomas)

Guest Andrew Thomas joins Benchwarmer Scott against Eric and Josh on the bench. Mason hosts a game where the teams reveal their disdain for Lizzo and for Mason's Matt-esque questions, Eric manages to pull out an answer with an assist from his dad, and Scott shows off his pipes during halftime.

EP 13: Jagr’s Jock Salt (featuring guests Michael Searles & Jeremy Cahnmann)

We welcome guests Jeremy Cahnmann and Michael Searles to the bench for this episode. Eric hosts a game featuring: Doc River's sweatshirt, ESPN anchors in a Hootie & the Blowfish video, another Kevin Costner movie question that Scott loved, the only goal song anyone knows about any other team in the NHL (damn you Chelsea Dagger!!!), and the many different meanings of the 500 club.

EP 12: Who hasn't seen a Kevin Costner baseball movie?! (featuring guest Matt Coleman)

The group welcomes Matt Coleman to the bench, Dan hosts his first Benchwarmer game while slaying it with his singing talents and the undefeated duo of Scott & Eric defend their benchwarmers title. We also learn fun things like: Where Hobey Baker went to college, why Hobey Baker liked tigers, and who Hobey Baker is. Stay tuned to the very end for a special musical treat from Dan! :-) 

EP 11: Proclivity for Brooks Koepka (Featuring Jonathan Oakes of Oakes Media Group)

Jonathan Oakes of Oakes Media Group joined this game that Scott hosted. In the episode we learned who the current 76ers GM is, who the top ten ESPN anchors are, and that Jonathan knows a lot about the Jaguars and Rays! And we officially confirm that the podcast is definitely into Brooks Koepka!

EP 10: What isn't made of sterling silver? (featuring guest Dan Snyder)

Josh B. was the host for this week’s game, with the Benchwarmer team of Mason and Scott taking on the team of Benchwarmer Eric and Guest Dan Snyder. We learned that Dan is not a fan of baseball (at all) and that he had to rely on Eric to “carry him” for those questions. It was a close game all the way down to the last question of the fourth quarter.

EP 9: Scott HIGHLY recommends this episode

Scott tells us how much he REALLY likes the show Pitch (that you can watch on Hulu), and hosts a great game. The NOLA boys, Mason and JJ team up against the Northern Alliance of Dan and Matt. In the episode we learned about athlete siblings, verify that the Dolphins make Darius Rucker cry, and that if Matt just says the name of random baseball players, he'll eventually find his way to an answer.
