The Benchwarmers Trivia Podcast

Tim Geving, an OG supporter of BTP, returned to the Bench for this Bohmbach-hosted game that was dubbed "Josh's Festivus Game" (he aired many grievances). Tim declared that BTP is "just like riding a bike" during this game, and we learned that all Josh wants for Christmas is geographical continuity, that all roads lead to Daredevil...and Kansas City, and that nobody should seek out AI Pete Rose fo...

David hosts this episode with first-time guest and Assistant Coach to our Patreon team Sam Cook. He may not know much about history, science books, or the French he took, but he clearly knows sports trivia. Meanwhile, the Benchwarmers crack out Sesame Street references and imitations. We also discovered just at which school Scott could play, who one NBA hall-of-famer's kid could play for, and pond...

Trivia Hall of Famer Jay Borsom of Liquid Kourage Entertainment joined the Bench for the first time making BTP an OFFICIAL trivia podcast (TM). During this game, neither Josh could stop thinking about Charles in Charge (though maybe for different reasons #nicoleeggert), Bohmbach had an answer to a wrestling question before Dave, and we all pondered the question "Are you ready to throw 30 guys over...

Dan hosts the 5th annual fireside chat with his trivia friends Graig Zethner, Scott Barber, Gary Middleton, and special guest David Luks. Enjoy and happy holidays from BTP!!!

Our annual Holiday Episode is here... Join us for some good wholesome Holiday fun.... With one very special guest. 

Throwback Trivia Takedown host and Assistant Coach to our Patreon team Adam Speas returns to the bench to team with Scott to compete against Markkus and Snyder. We witness Luks mess up a question, while simultaneously trying to keep the teams on the rails (not likely), and we all learn about Nick Minicucci (who??). Most notably, our guest Adam throws the gauntlet down early, betting against himsel...

Assistant Coach Adrian Bias returns to the program, teaming up with Bohmbach to face Dave and...good God, that's Josh Snyder's music! In this episode, we start with #TooMuchMinnesota, Snyder shows up to make the save in his jammy jams, Tako gets a Josh Eyeroll over his Missing Link theme, we remember some cinematic football plays for halftime, Dave checks into the Hardball Hotel to rattle off anot...

Rowan Ward returned to the Bench to team with Tako against Walling and Luks in a horsey-themed game hosted by Snyder. Much equine knowledge was shared, including the facts that all horses like shiny things and are descended from known horses, a famous racehorse may have worn a hairpiece, and there's no rule that says a horse can't play baseball. In the field of horticulture (not related to madams,...

This all-Benchwarmer affair, hosted by Bohmbach, pitted the OG team of Scott & Mason versus the New School team of Dave & Snyder. In this episode, Mason travelled back to 1995 after hitting his F1 key, Bohmbach gave a trigger warning to Dan AFTER reading a question (what a knucklehead - sorry Dan), we were forced to imagine John Clayton and Clay Aiken as cornerbacks for the 1990s Cowboys,...

Assistant Coach Trevor Hogg returned to the bench, along with Benchbro Tommy Wortz for this Snyder-hosted game. Both teams took ABBA-themed names for no apparent reason. Tommy asked if "Saturn Nuts" means what we all think, and Scott decided that Bae-Blade had to be the nickname of Wesley Snipes’ wife. Local connections between Trevor and Tommy were revealed, leading David to ask "What’s a Wilmer?...

Assistant Coach Scott Hyland returned to the Bench for this Dave-hosted game. In this episode, Dave scored a trifecta with three Whooo?! calls from Bohmbach, Snyder checked in with the semi-inappropriate answer of Ronal...do's Nuts, we learned that a certain fast food franchise has items in Milwaukee that don't seem to exist anywhere else #shakegate, there are apparently 123 ABA teams that complet...

Ede hosts this game, pitting the first-ever pairing of the Benchwarmer Daves vs. Scott & Equipment Manager of our Patreon team, John Ross. In this game, Luks & Wortz nearly pull off the biggest backup truck answer ever, and in the same round, John and Scott have one of the most awkward misses ever. When John recovers, he points out that it really doesn't take much to get minutes with the S...

Trey Cleeter returns to the Bench, teaming up with Scott against Bohmbach and Dave in a Tako-hosted game. In this episode, Dave and Bohmbach attempt to spoil a future question with their team name, Scott and Trey have to decide on an answer between one-fourth of Petey Pablo's Freek-a-Leek, Dave does one of the more impressive things ever heard on the Benchwarmers Trivia Podcast, we talk a lot of s...

David hosts this episode, featuring Equipment Manager Ian Hollenberg, teaming with Walling, competing against Scott and the newest Benchwarmer, Josh Snyder. The teams struggle early with some rhyming scheme issues, until Snyder points out to Scott that they aren't obligated to rhyme when they talk to each other. Snyder and Scott wonder whether it is possible that there was actually a player named...

New guest Matt Fraier joined the Bench for this game hosted by Josh (the non-rabbi). In this episode, Matt calls Dave "Rude!" after a shot is taken at Murray State, Walling doesn't think that Will Shipley had a dad..., Mason would like us to stay away from John Popper, Dave and Mason were stuck on double letters, and Dave stated during the Halftime Show that "I don't like that." #samcassell #hpnot...

Josh Snyder returns to the bench to host this game with more mishegas (Yiddish for shenanigans) than Michigan for returning guest Jake Manne. Eric Ede and Jake bury the hatchet long enough to team up against Scott and David Luks, who find out Jake’s dad is a fellow 8/5er. As chaos reigns during "Pre- and Post-Game ..and Concessions", there are multiple concussions as Luks and Ede are nearly broken...

In this Tako-hosted game, Assistant Coach Will Weiss teams up with Mason to take on Josh and Scott, who have no chance of winning since they aren't playing against Ede. In this episode, Scott earns Triple Gold Club status, Alonzo Mourning plays defense, Scott can't think of any Black Russians, Josh makes what has to be the first Caroline in the City reference in BTP history, Tako takes an intentio...

Tommy Wortz, host of the Leadoff Show in Milwaukee, makes his debut on the Bench to partner with his brother Dave, our latest Benchwarmer. Their opponents were Eric Ede and David Luks in this Walling-hosted affair. Walling brought the return of the Shannon Sharpe-inspired pre- and post- game round, which basically resulted in Luks sounding like Daffy Duck. Perhaps if he had followed Dave's advice...

Dave Wortz returned to the Bench to host his first official episode as the newest Benchwarmer <add applause here>. During the game, we all agreed that Trevor Lawrence and Trent Richardson "had good season" and Dave informed the teams that David was very happy about a Jewish-sounding nickname, but unfortunately it was not Dr. Layupstein (aka Maccabee Cohenbergstein)...he was known for playing...

Assistant Coach Marc Grenier returns to the Bench after a 9-month hiatus to team with Scott, competing against Markkus & Eric Ede.  Luks hosts the game and witnesses Markkus throwing a tirade on question 1. It really doesn't take much. Both teams foreshadow an answer from the 4th quarter in early discussions. Important life questions are also pondered; for example, who has Ben Affleck not been...

Head Coach Dave Wortz and Equipment Manager Hugh Gitlin returned to the Bench for this Josh-hosted game. Walling wished everyone a Happy Hatch Chili Season before he rubbed his eye after handling peppers...PSA - wash your hands! In this episode, Markkus checked out of an entire quarter due to the sports involved, after a Halftime Show question Dave imagined Benchwarmers in claymation, we learned t...

It's an all-Benchwarmer affair, and an all-women's sports game! In this episode, Scott tries to trade David to Throwback Trivia Takedown before the trade deadline, one team has their name changed mid-episode to the Old Pervs (guess which one?), we have a Magic Mike/Disney crossover discussion, we discuss softball pitchers who look like they play football at North Dakota, and ask the philosophical...

Assistant Coach David Fudor returned to the Bench for this Ede-hosted game. During Ede's all-hockey Curriculum Vitae quarter, Tako inquired if Ede was talking about Vince or Dom when referencing Wayne Gretzky's brother. After that quarter was finished, Josh proclaimed that "we are good at hockey questions" (and you may be too). During halftime, Josh was wondering what Disney film featured a waters...

Head Coach Dave Wortz returned to the Bench for this Tako-written game hosted by Markkus. For the first time, Dave did not have a new job to announce during introductions. With it being Episode 316, Markkus busted out his best Lou Holtz impersonation of Stone Cold Steve Austin. Josh declared his frustration with loose rhyming schemes. We also learned about the illustrious(?) history of U.S. Olympi...

Scott Hyland returned to the Bench and drew the short straw, having to team up with Josh, for this music-heavy Mason-hosted game. After the first two questions Josh proclaimed that the game was #toomuchminnesotaadjacent, but it did not take long for him to get super salty during the second quarter (and not solely due to a repeat quarter style). However, classical music saved the day and lifted Jos...
