The Benchwarmers Trivia Podcast

Our old pal Sam Carr, host of MANY podcasts, joined his buddy Justin McClure on the bench to face off against Scott & Markkus in this Eric Ede-hosted game. In it, the backup truck makes a comeback(up) to help out guests, Markkus uses his best Lou Holtz impersonation to break down a Benchwarmers game, sometimes it doesn't pay to know everything about an answer if you don't know the answer, and get...

Dan’s Online Quiz League teammates Graig Zethner, Gary Middleton, and Scott Barber join him on the bench for an informal session of sports trivia. In this episode we learn that Gary once nearly got run over by a world class Tennis Champion, that Graig REALLY knows his beloved Mets, and that Scott is the ONLY one on the show that knows ANYTHING about the UFC.

In this Holiday Break Bonus episode, we get in our WAY back machines and listen to the very first recording, our BTP test episode. Matt had written a patreon bonus game for STFO that never got used. So he used that game to test out our recording process.  From all of us Benchwarmers, enjoy your holidays!

Scott finally gets his chance for a homecourt game playing against Dan & Eric Ede, though Scott fights valiantly against a persistent flare up.  In this match, we learn that Dan Lundberg was in a hip hop band, and actually may be spending his hiatus preparing his master class in rhyming schemes.  Surprising no one, we also learn that David can't pronounce hiphop artist names.

Everyone's favorite Cyrano & Head Coach, David Luks, returned to host a game that pitted Josh & Markkus against Dan in a 2v1 game. In it we learned that while Dan doesn't believe that mascots pick up "chicks," Markkus made the the following observation, "I don't know...there's a furry community that would probably disagree with you." And we were all shocked that Dan took a heel turn and now is in...
