Equipment Manager Hugh Gitlin returns to team with Dan, facing the Benchwarmer team of Scott and Matt. Before the game even started, our players mused that Coach Clem Haskins may have created an alternative musical called "In the Height".

Eight-time guest Byron Grubman joins the bench to team with Mason, facing Markkus and Josh, in this David-hosted game. Thanks to David's covid brain, this game is actually a re-do as just 48 hours prior, the Simple Farm Boy forgot to record a game. He had one job! In this highly-competitive game, Team BM led to one too many euphemisms, including notably when they had a chance to work back-to-front...

Equipment Manager Pate Hogan made an emotional return to The Bench that even had host Josh feeling the feels.

Josh North returns to the bench to team with Scott (big mistake) in this game, playing against Walling & Josh. David inadvertently tortured our six-time guest player with a range of questions that left our guest to exasperatedly muse, "By thought-provoking, I think David really means impossible". Josh North did admit to having googled one of the answers multiple times, but couldn't pull the answer...

Disregarding the on-again/off-again antics of Tom Brady's retirement, Eric Ede wrote an entire game around the 1999-2000 immediate Pre-TB era in professional sports. The game featured Dan & Matt against David & Mason. In the game, we learned that the Saints were on brand with the name of their quarterbacks in 1999 and that Ede loves writing Buffalo questions.

In this Benchwarmer-only episode hosted by David, we learned that Scott prefers Duncan Hines, that the Kia Kuechly would be a dependable vehicle for about 50,000 miles, and that State Farm now covers punches to the groin.
