The Benchwarmers Trivia Podcast

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 Univers...

Markkus Ellis joins the guys on the bench for this episode hosted by Eric. In the episode we learn about NBA sixth man award winners, that in the 90's NFL QBs threw a lot of INTs, Eric LOVES the Mighty Ducks movies, he also writes a solid pre & post game, but then ruins all the good credit he made by asking a fourth quarter question that is nearly impossible.

Geek Bowl teammates team up against each other for this one! Peter Andolina and Eric take on Philip Sandford and Dan in a game hosted by JJ. In the episode we lose ALL of our potential sponsors (looking at you Olive Garden!). We THINK JJ MIGHT like Drew Brees, just a guess though. And JJ struggles with some challenging team names.

Two members of the Sinister Six trivia team join the bench to face Scott & Matt. Dan hosts with a duplicate Deans List (Ooops!), a bear of a Missing Link round, a David v Goliath that gets swept, and a new high score is set.

In this Bonus Episode Scott and Eric discuss all the ins and outs of Fantasy Football while Matt pretends to sound smart listening to them and laughing once in a while. We go over some positions tiers, some sleepers, draft strategies and some fantasy football oddities.

Guests John Pina and Trey Kelso join the bench for a wild game hosted by Josh. In the episode, one team almost gets blanked in Pre & Post Game; but luckily didn't get traded for a player to be named later. Both teams also struggle with NFL Pick Six leaders. We also learn that The Simpsons have had a lot of athletes on their show, and that both teams know the NHLer who loves to lick. Lastly, John r...

Guest Nicolle Neulist joins us for a fun, exciting game that will have you singing along! Nicolle teams up with Eric in a nail biter against Scott and Dan. The players attempt to use the “Know Your Host” strategy to answer Matt’s questions involving Beastie Boys lyrics, triple crown winners and Polish soccer stars. Matt also spins us right round like a record in the 4th quarter. And we THINK Matt'...

Guest Eric Walling joined the bench for a very interesting game hosted by Eric Ede. In it we get some breaking news, Eric Walling sets a new record in How Low Can You Go, Eric Ede loses control multiple times, not much is known about the 1990 NBA assist leaders, everyone wants Rick Pitino to have Ryan Fitzpatrick's beard, and Eric Ede comes up with two virtually un-answerable 4th quarter questions...

This was an episode recorded in June and we pushed it back with so many great guests on the show. But we figured we had to get it out sometime. Enjoy!    Evidently Eric didn't know that Elton John was from the UK, but he thinks Sir Charles Barkley MIGHT be British. And there's some confusion about who had an affair with LeBron's mom... Either way, Eric and Mason take on JJ and Dan while Scott mixe...

Houston native Taylor Scholl joins the podcast which is great, but the only problem is that he is facing the juggernaut team of Eric and Dan. Can Taylor and benchwarmer JJ overcome the odds? In this episode we learn that palindromes are ALWAYS correct, that Wayne Gretzky is the far superior brother, and that apparently you can walk into a Cheesecake Factory and meet a plethora of famous people! Wa...

Adrian Dater, editor-in-chief of Colorado Hockey Now (coloradohockeynow.com), teamed up with Eric against Josh and Dan in a game hosted by Mason. The teams show off their knowledge of team mascots and Marlins players (even though they thought they didn't know that many), Mason is once again given a hard time for older sports questions, Eric somehow remembers a terrible song about basketball, and e...

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.

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...

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...

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 Sa...

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.

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.

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! :-) 

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!

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.

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.

Josh hosts a 1 on 1 on 1 show pitting Mason v Matt v Eric. In it we learn more about cricket, who killed the queen in The Naked Gun, that Arsenal is very good, the Mariners are very bad, and everyone wonders what kind of person has never seen The Sandlot.

Matt from Triviality joined the gang today! Josh B hosted a great game that Matt, Dan & Eric crushed. Matt D let Eric carry him the whole way and showed the world yet again why he's better at editing than playing. In this episode we learn about the top ten athletes of the 2010s, how to properly score professional wrestlers, Bob Dylan is a good song writer, there are two Antoine Winfield's, and why...

Dan confuses his former Vikings Quarterbacks and creates a brand new mediocre Vikings QB out of thin air. Then he shows off his singing voice at halftime.

Josh Johnson joins in the fun and is treated to an old timie classic written by Matt featuring all of your favorite early 20th century sports trivia hits!
