The Benchwarmers Trivia Podcast

Chris Shen returns to the bench to team with Dan in this combative game against Matt & Scott. The team starts fast as one team confuses Connor McDavid and Connor McGregor. David hypothesizes that 1988 must have been a soft year for Rookies (and baseball cards), but at least Walt Weiss had his number retired (not really). And in an amazing discovery, the teams discuss the possibility that Albert Pu...

Assistant Coach Tim Geving joins the Bench for his scheduled game after pinch hitting a few weeks ago. In this Walling-hosted game we learned that Dan's "spenning [sic] isn't good" after a day of drinking, that Fireball would make for a terrible victory shower, that Josh busted out his handy TI-83 to do some math, that in an alternate universe Charleton Heston starred in Chariots of Fire, and fina...

Assistant Coach Byron Grubman returned to the Bench to host this all-Benchwarmer game. In it, we learned that there is a penalty in the NFL for "Illegal Feet to the Feet," that there was a famous British Boxer named Juan Prince Amukamara (or maybe not), that Josh doesn't dislike spicy pickles, and that it's a whiskey that belongs to Jack Daniel, thus the apostrophe. #toddvanpoppel #whiskey #illega...

Assistant Coach and long-time Sporting News writer Vinnie Iyer joins the bench, teaming with Ede in a highly competitive match against Markkus & David. On script, Ede hates halftime and forgets to read a question, and the game gets to Bingo before the 1st quarter is over. Dan goes old school with a few questions, and also experiments with some extremely David questions. Aside from that, was it *re...

Assistant Coach Tim Geving pinch hits last minute, returning to the bench to team with Dan in a competitive match against Josh and Mason. This David-hosted game generates the usual ridicule for the Simple Farm Boy. Of course, David brings it on himself by asking David-questions in a David vs. Goliath round, and Josh piles on with some classic eye-rolling at halftime. In other moments, Mason also p...

Guest Andrew Vahlenkamp teams up with Mason to face Dan & Matt in this Ede hosted game. In it Mason appologizes for Andrew choosing to team up with him, Mason suspects a hidden food theme, this episode may contain shell fish, and for some reason Little Spanish Flea runs through everyone's head. #HerbWilliams #TijuanaBrass #HerbAlbert #HerbBrooks #BurgerKingHerb #HerbDean #PeachsAndHerb #JustinHerb...

Ryan Meyers returned to the Bench as a player in this Josh-hosted game. In it, we learned that Ede doesn't know all hockey questions, and he still knows nothing about women's sports, that Josh confused German footballer Bastian Schweinsteiger with Braunschweiger, and finally that Ede confused an American President with a McDonalds character. #herpes #yachtrock #hockey #women #braunschweiger #presi...

Head Coach David Fudor joined the Bench for this Eric-hosted game. In it, we learned that Eric is buying his wife thigh-high winter boots for Christmas, that David was in a great mood with Argentina winning the World Cup until Markkus went rogue during the Missing Link, that Scott knows way too much about Nickleback, that Josh was confused why an MMA fighter had to get naked to perform a rear chok...

The crew discusses these episodes: Dan's Fireside Trivia Part 2 EP 185: Pit Stains: Team Bonding (featuring Assistant Coach Sam Collins) EP 186: Rheumatoid Arthritis Dickey EP 187: Children Of the Candy Corn

Dan hosted this episode featuring Markkus and David versus Walling and Matt. In it, we learned what types of sports make people a good drunk, a lot about 1980s commercials, David likes to take the hard ones, and mark your bingo cards, because there's an epic Markkus rant. #candycorn #drunk #1980s #hardones #bingo

Matt hosted this initial-laden game pitting two Benchwarmer teams against each other. In it, we learned there would be whistles-a-plenty during the game, that numerous questions/answers involved people straight out of Josh's Rolodex, and that both Dan and Walling are "Dueling Not Hintsters." #radickey #initials #whistle #rolodex #ftg #nohintneeded

The team welcomed first-time guest Sam Collins to the Bench. Sam teamed with Dan to compete against Mason and Scott in this David-hosted game, though David-questions were notably kept to a minimum. In this episode, Dan offers to name five good field hockey teams west of the Mississippi, though thankfully no one takes him up on his offer. Later, Scott rejects Bruce Chen as an answer, largely becaus...

For the second year in a row, Dan leads a Fireside Chat with his trivia friends Graig Zethner, Scott Barber, and Gary Middleton. Gary educates everyone about curling, Graig goes through his educational career via sports, and Dan returns with another stream-of-consciousness set of trivia questions. https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.co...

In this 2022 BTP Tournament Championship, Byron Grubman takes on David Luks hosted by our friend Ryan Meyers. In it we learn about Jewish basketball players not in the hall of fame, motor sports can be very deadly, and there's a Toronto Maple Leaf who sounds like he should play for a baseball team. https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.c...

Josh hosted a 2021 Year-in-Review Fast Break Episode in which David proclaimed that "I'm an idiot", both Dan and David claimed to know nothing about current sports *eye roll*, and there was some discussion about the number of Heavy Johnsons in Miranda.   https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/b...

It was another all-Benchwarmer affair as Dan and Scott faced off against Eric and Mason in this Josh-hosted game. In it, we learned that David was held back...at Brown, that Neal Broten has a brother named Sauer, that Gary is not a cool name, and that, as previously mentioned on this podcast, David does prefer his audio raw. #dumb #old #brown #sauerbraten #gary #rawaudio https://www.patreon.com/be...

In this Patron Championship match we have Marc Grenier versus Byron Grubman hosted by our friend Ryan Meyers. In it Ryan breaks out the scattergories round styles with some follow ups while challenging the guys on their knowledge of the MLS, NFL MVPs, MLB Cy Young award winners, Olympics host cities and ESPN programming. https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerst...

Scott hosts an exciting all-Benchwarmers game as Eric the Elder teams up with David the Simple Farm Boy to compete against the intimidating pair of OG Eric and Dan. Flare ups were largely kept under control, and the game was competitive throughout. Elder's traditional saltiness rubbed off on David when they missed a question by a mere percentage point. Later, Dan is inspired to sing his Missing Li...

In this Second round match of the 2022 BTP Tournament we have Benchwarmers Mason v David. In it we learned a lot about what sumo wrestlers can and can't do, sports power couples, David is prompted to be more specific than figure skating, and David is cruel to Mason by making him answer questions about pop culture. #FridayNightLights #SandraO #MintJulep https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https:...

Equipment Manager Seth McCracken joins the bench and teams up with Mason to face Josh and Matt in this Eric-hosted game. In it Matt shares his cooking tips, Seth exclaims "Oh My God, It's A Real Song!", we learned that hockey is still hard (if your name isn't Eric Ede), that David likes his audio raw, and that the Dick Weber debate continues. #meatloaf #cookingwithmatt #realsong #hockey #rawaudio...
