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 himself! He promises to sample a different bourbon from his collection for each question that he actually knows an answer. Tune in to see just how much alcohol our guest imbibes. #ttt #bourbon #nickminicucci https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

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 another incredible baseball list, and the fourth quarter is a sandwich. #ZachMiller #HappyChanukah #sevenkidsinsevencities #TheAnnexationofPuertoRico #switch https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

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, Walling) we learned that all babies look like potatoes, and if the Black Eyed Peas said something, it must be true. David and Walling are stumped on the Missing Link because David can only remember four things at a time and Walling is stuck on first-person shooters when he's not stuck on jellyfish. #phillipriversstudfee #bigbeautifultimemachine #luksonthe1869chaingang #lilsebastianjanikowski https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

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, and lastly we pondered, "What is woodstick?" #willsmith #og #newschool #knucklehead #johnclayton #clayaiken #cowboys #woodstick #ritchievalens #landocalrissian #randyandyanderson https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

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?" Snyder's second quarter again saps the teams, as Trevor remarks "Mamma Mia - I'm all out of brain power". A new halftime style with audio clips leads to more Luks overthinking...or does it? Tommy can't read, but neither can Snyder by the end of the game. As Tommy turns heel, the Benchwarmers confidently(?) reveal their shoe sizes. #lukewarmloyvaught #icantreadeither #themissinglink #ifyoucantsaycolloquially #allthepelinkasicanthinkof #abba                                                                                                                   https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

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 completed at least one game last season, and lastly we pondered on this question, "Is ChatGPT racist?" #bwaba #6-7 #powersofjosh #whooo #ronaldo #milwaukee #chatgpt https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

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 Sacramento Kings when he says, "I'm close to getting minutes with the Kings". We also get to an all-time Bermanism: Al Iafrate No Ghost. Also, find out who we deem to be a ColorALdo (sic) legend. #woodyjohnson #backuptruck #sacramentokings #aliafrate #alharrington #rikspitz https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

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 smack about Field of Dreams, and we consider what a world would be if Greg Norman were a football coach. #ohio #bodydonnas #chrispratt #oscartavares #lisasalters #soulpatrol #peteypablo #yungjoka #fieldofdreams #gregnorman https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

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 Ding Dong. The team also tries to fit a theme with players such as Tommy Discovery, Johnny Bravo, or the under-appreciated FX Robinson.  Please tune in to see if Scott and Snyder can actually get out of the cesspool of loss, or off the Schnyder. And remember: when it comes to some sports, humans don't do the sport, the horse does. #chuckwoolery #heismantrophy #rhymingishard #dingdong #johnnybravo #offtheschnyder https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

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 #hpnotiq #hennessey #nonrabbi #rude #murraystate #willshipley #johnpopper #doubleletters #idontlikethat https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

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 by Snyder’s rule-breaking. Scott resorts to Kraken Skulls, David is down, and Jake pulls a Markkus. Ede is bouncing between frustration that he knows the answer but doesn’t know why or how and using his geography bee and deep Weird Al discography to insta-check, while Jake lies on the ground with a hatchet in his back. By the time everyone is done flopping after an epic finish, a new Benchwarmer (Menschwarmer? Tenthwarmer?) has emerged - and it's Snyder! #michiganandmishegasfan #partyingwithjakesdad #letsburythehatchetrightinhisback #lukstheboomerang #avalancheblindspot #krakenskulls #preandpostgameandconcessions #riverturnandflop #toomuchbiggestballoftwineinminnesota  https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

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 intentional dig at Markkus in their ongoing Oregon-Washington feud, we ask, "Why would you ever want to leave Detroit?" and in the end, the teams end up right back where they started. #alonzomourning #carolineinthecity #oregon #washington #detroit #chinesebasketball #alldefensiveteam #itsokayimalimodriver https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

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 and just played with peanut butter in his mouth. The teams also named Luks' new funk band - David & the Ghost Chair.  Early on, Dave mistakes a Milwaukee Brewer former infielder for Wiki Leaks. And we return to our discussion on which MLB manager has a massive head. Luks may have also learned in this episode who the Rizzler is. #kajagoogoo #kajagoogooglechromebook #gustypopup #peanutbutter #minorleader https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

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 below the rim. Lastly, Josh fell victim to posting answers in the main chat - Thanks, Zoom! <insert eyeroll here> #undeserved #lynnswann #kurtwarner #garycarter #haroldbaines #weirdal #aliafrate #41eggs #trevorlawrence #trentrichardson #tugofwords #drlayupstein #maccabeecohenbergstein #thankszoom https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

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 dating? And did Steve McNair play for the A's?  Ede also accuses Luks of taking artistic liberties in the pre- and post-game round - a charge which Luks vehemently denied. #adamdunn #hiatus #benaffleck #stevemcnair #athletics #artisticliberties https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

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 that F1 legend Michael Schumacher directed two Batman movies (Bat nipples? Really?!), and for a second time since Zoom changed their chat function, a team has given away an answer in the main chat. #miketyson #kiss #iowa #hatchchili #washyourhands #claymation #michaelschumacher #batman #batnipples #checkyourchat #thankszoom https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

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 question, "What is the Arabic Smith?" #walsh #mingnawen #watchwomenssports #thisnamehasnovowels https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

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 waterslide tycoon (note that he had never seen any of the three movies, but Mason had). And once again, Ede tried to kill off Skip Bayless by mentioning him during the fourth quarter. #normalsizedhands #hockey #vinceordom #waynegretzky #disney #waterslidetycoon #skipbayless https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

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. Olympic race walking, including two-time bronze medalist Larry Young (1968 and 1972). #fantasticfour #skins #what #whataburger #stonecold #steveaustin #mumblerap #racewalking #larryyoung #janvesely #kimbo #weloveyoufrance https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTainthttps://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstphttps://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast
