Nick Arno and Harrison Smith (we found him!) from the Rounding Third Baseball Podcast join us for a podcast vs. podcast showdown against Scott and David, and it's a baseball-only episode! In this episode, we fix Major League Baseball by creating the Oakland Rays and Vancouver Eh's, we reinforce the mantra that every answer comes from baseball cards or video games, things get all Fricked up, halfti...

Equipment Manager Hugh Gitlin teams up with Josh to face the self-proclaimed math nerds David and Mason. In this episode, we ask whether a hockey player is 130 years old, David talks Mason into an answer while simultaneously talking himself out of it, we get our directions and continents all mixed up, and we need multiple spellings of Korea, in a manner of speaking. #Math #BigMacs #Asia #WestGeorg...

Assistant Coach Marc Grenier teamed up with Walling to face Mason and Josh in this Matt-hosted game. In it, we learned that salty Mason threatened to rage quit, ChatGPT can't do much with opposite TV show summaries, toast is the best meal for an Olympic athlete, Walling repeatedly interrupts Mason, and "idiot number 29" triggers an answer. #FillTheGaps #FillMoreGaps #FillEvenMoreGaps #TedLasso #Le...

Assistant Coach Trevor Hogg and Benchwarmer Emeritus Dan Lundberg returned to the Bench for this Scott-hosted game. During this game, Scott appeased Matt with some old-school baseball names, autocorrect posed an alternate name for a podcast favorite for when they are slightly less than hot on the court, Dan stated "This is dumb" about an answer because he couldn't get Chicago out of his mind, Scot...

First timer (and Jeopardy! TOC semifinalist) Jared Watson joins The Bench in this Tako-hosted game. In this episode, we debate how big goggles have to be to be considered Rec Specs, practice our Jamaican accents, create a dentist from Sheboygan, wonder about the longevity of the the Insight.com bowl, and swear in the chat about the final question of the fourth quarter. Additionally, Markkus gets s...

David Luks hosts this all-Benchwarmer game with Eric Walling & Josh teaming up to face Tako & Mason. It was a grouchy game all around as we learn early on that Mason is playing with a double ear infection, Walling has a hate scale, and Josh, well, Josh isn't a big fan of a David clue. Luckily (or Luksily?), most of that hits the cutting room floor before David and Josh have to make semanti...

Head Coach Philip Sanford hosts this game with Head Coach Dave Wortz teaming up with Tako to take on Matt D and Markkus. In this episode, we cast Jon Gruden in Goodfellas, try our best not to be anti-Semitic, give David Luks a new nickname, name some white NBA legends, and try to get Markkus hired by Ben and Jerry's. #danboysenberry #kiwikarlsson #birdracing #jeopardyrules #mikebreen #jongruden ht...

Assistant Coach Tim Simplot returns to the Bench for this Josh-hosted game. In this episode, one team's name is directly connected to the answer to the first question of the game, Rickey Henderson gets added to Josh's Knucklehead Rolodex, Scott proclaims he had an answer "once you got to White Chicks," we decide that there is an "Aaron Rodgers Zone" which is the entire space between Knucklehead an...

Assistant Coach John Ross hosts this fabulous game pitting Mason and Tako against Matt and Markkus. In this episode, we make a lot of noises, John has some legendary Pre and Post Games, we mention little-known Morehouse College quarterbacks, imagine a muscly Drew Bledsoe, try and avoid sneaky Canadians, spell lots of complicated names very poorly, and Markkus is hardcore triggered into another ran...

Assistant Coaches Trevor Hogg and Marc Grenier team up to present a game all about non-Big Three sports! In this episode, we wonder if colds are transmissable via Zoom, Walling has white guy country club problems and wishes death on an entire family, Josh declares war on Louisiana and is sent into a midlife darts crisis, and Luks and Tako fail to think about women, and have a "good talk". #sumo #p...

Head Coach Riley Scherer joins the bench and teams up with David to face Matt & Walling in this Ede hosted episode. In it we try to identify the guy with the neck, or does he have a neck, and which quarterback is the best to get stuff off of the top shelf. Also, David sets a record for being fired twice in one episode, Ede breaks everyone with his missing link, and Riley forecasts a future que...

Assistant Coach Adrian Bias returns to the bench for this Tako-hosted game. In this episode, the players are immediately put on edge with an all-golf first quarter; we discuss Scandanavian name origins, and how "it's gonna have a lot of vowels in it"; Scott and Adrian create the first all-athlete boy band, The Really New Edition; we play a quarter that is somehow five different quarter styles; and...

Equipment Manager Hugh Gitlin retuns to the bench in this Luks-hosted game. Hugh teamed with Eric to take on the duo of Scott & Mason. Despite his many appearances, Hugh still doesn't quite get the audio medium, imitating one player's batting stance, and sharing his recent gift from the MS-150 bike ride. The teams have a chance to play name generation for old-timey baseball names. Walling sear...

Assistant Coach Scott Hyland returned to the Bench for this Josh-hosted game. In it we learned that all four players would have dinner with a living baseball player if given the opportunity, that the players ponder if there is such a thing as a hereditary foot fetish, that Scott (Grimes) made reference to Dan's Benchwarmer grave, that Markkus thinks snooker sounds too much like a slur, that Scott...

Assistant Coach Tim Geving returns to the Bench and teams up with Mason to face Markkus & Matt in this Ede-hosted game. In it, we learned that Tim & Mason don't want to get canceled, the Missing Link is not about people with huge hogs, a Weird Al-free halftime still has the teams singing, and the teams need a measuring stick for the Sporting Haikus round. #Prefontaine #Postfontaine #Simone...

Assistant Coach Vinnie Iyer returns to the Bench for a Tako-hosted game. In this episode, we think about robust goatees, Josh's innocent mind doesn't consider the implications of a Bald Johnson, we pitch potential impressions for Markkus that have a slightly smaller tongue than Shannon Sharpe, wonder if Quentin Tarantino is a nepo baby, and get nostalgic about Sports Illustrated for Kids. #shannon...

Eric Ede hosted this all-Benchwarmer game where we learned the following: that Eric only missed one syllable during his Sporting Haiku quarter, that the worst Missing Link performance resulted in both teams getting points (after talking it out together and throwing out a guess at the very last second), that Scott couldn't stop thinking about Kamala catching touchdown passes from Jameis Winston, th...

First-time guest (and Assistant Coach) John Ross is joined by returning guest (and Assistant Coach) Dave Brown to play this Markkus-hosted game. In this episode, we pitch a sequel to The Program, which is mostly just paperwork; we pay tribute to the Humble Oracle, David Luks; John tries his best to give away an answer, but Matt and Dave refuse to take it; Tako is triggered by mentions of the 2002...

It's a double guest episode! Equipment Manager Ian Hollenberg guests hosts a fantastic game, and Equipment Manager Jerry Filbin makes his BTP debut! Also making his BTP debut (in name only): Chris Duhon. In this episode, Ede foreshadows a tall tennis player, actors change their names and get skinny for attention, Jim Joyce tries to derail yet another perfect game, and despite multiple WNBA questio...

Eric and Matt Discuss the following episodes: EP 260: Why Would He be in a Trivia Game? (featuring head coach Philip Sanford) EP 261 : Only Person who went to New Mexico (featuring Equipment Manager Austin Owings) EP 262: Smoking Ex-Girlfriend (featuring Assistant Coach Josh Snyder) EP 263: Me Tee Martin (featuring guest host & Assistant Coach Josh Snyder) EP 264: Too Much Bohmbach (featuring...

Josh Snyder guest hosts this game that features one of the most unhinged quarters in BTP history. In this episode, we make up children for NBA legends, start building an All-Cheese team featuring hockey great Claude Provolone, and ask the important question, "Can an MLB Hall of Famer really be that good if he doesn't have any Twitter followers?" Also, the swear whistle works overtime as Markkus sp...
