The Benchwarmers Trivia Podcast

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 becaus...

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. https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.co...

Scott hosts an exciting all-Benchwarmers game as Eric the Elder teams up with David the Simple Farm Boy to compete against the intimidating pair of OG Eric and Dan.

Later, Dan is inspired to sing his Missing Li...

David hosts an all-Benchwarmer game pitting Dan & Mason against Scott & Josh. The teams branded the match a "David game" before we even got going; little did they know. In a heated moment, one team is requested to take a long walk off a Juan Pierre. Dan also reasons out an answer (or misreads a question?) by pondering if a certain player went to Canada? Lastly, Dan does offer up a new WWE PPV idea...
