The Benchwarmers Trivia Podcast (Sports Trivia)

New guest Scott Aebly joins the Bench to team up with his friend Dave Wortz to compete against Bohmbach and Grimes, and trash-talks from the start with their team name, "Let's Punish Luks". This turned into an attempt to throw curse words at David just to make the edit harder. Later, Josh gets in the act and curses as well. New insults that may be heard on this podcast: "Back off - you're just hosting", and "Yo mama memorizes wedding anniversaries". We also learned that David has joined the meme culture, and in this week's PSA: "Always massage the middle". Our guest learns quickly of Benchwarmer lore, and our propensity for accidentally killing famous people by mentioning them. #monetization #ltrain #curse #weddinganniversaries #joshbonczkowski

It's a two-man Naked Bootleg, where Ede and Dave air out their sports grievances.

David Sibony returns to the Bench to team with Dave Wortz in this David Luks-hosted game (#toomanydavids). Early on, we learn what it means to sniss oneself (if you have to ask...). We also have such hot takes as, "There should be more pretzels in more things...", "Sonny is a name David likes to call people", and exactly what it is that would make Walling go to the movie by himself. Nice guy Luks admits that he enjoys watching people fall apart, and that he may just elope with Davey Lopes. Finally, our guest admits that he must make his zoom bigger just to read David's whole question. #cromagnon #jimmyclausen #sniss #sonny #daveylopes #zoom

New guest Clint Fitch, who is apparently part bat, becomes the first BTP participant to play an entire episode upside down for this Snyder-hosted game. Ede proclaims 1) his rec league lied to him when they said no participants can have the physical ability to dunk, and 2) he is an avid runner...virtually. The card collectors among us salivate over a one-of-one, OG ligament card from the recently deceased UCL repair pioneer (Too soon?). In the Ocho or Stinko halftime, Bohmbach questions his life choices, and Walling finds a new sport to train for. New characters are revealed in the fourth as Walling approximates a nameless, impatient, hunched-over, vaguely Eastern European old man, and Snyder reveals his alter ego as Mr. No-Depth Perception, captured on video grainier than the Zapruder film. Finally, Clint reveals that he chewed a 38-year-old candy bar, along with gum from the 80s that tasted like Reaganomics. #lougehrig #idontwannadrivesixmilesletalonerun #zapruderfilm #reaganomics #batboy #itsnotbrainsurgery #theantiwoman

An action packed episode of BTP sees Dave host a game full of shenanigans with returning guest and brother, Tom Wortz, teaming up with Luks against the Benchwarmer team of Scott and Snyder. Scott shares his basketball stat line, Snyder is full of non-sequiturs, Tom needs some rules, and Luks is just old. The boys have some MVP fun, get a little theatrical in halftime, and end on some of the most random questions Dave can drum up. We like to believe that Tom said it best: "I didn't think there would be BS on question 2!" Well, guess what? There was! #bs #shenanigans #statline #nonsequitur #mvp

Assistant Coach Scott Hyland retuned to the Bench to team with Dave and take on Bohmbach and Mason in this Markkus-hosted game. Early on, this was dubbed the "Fraud Episode" and it was declared that "You're going to jail!" We learned that Keegan Michael Key was 2026 Big Ten Freshman of the Year, that AJ Styles sounds like a wrestler, that Dave Wortz is not on this list, and that nobody wanted to do a Jamaican accent. #ivorycoast #fraud #jail #keeganmichaelkey #bigten #ajstyles #jamaica #jonqueljones

It's a hotshot Triple Threat match as Scott, Markkus, and Dave battle it out, where the champ does not have to be pinned to lose his title. It is clear from the first question of the game that Hulk Hogan would not approve; we posit that Bohmbach definitely drives a milk truck; we discuss our favorite Systems; we open up a can of clams; and a little Spanish boy declares, "I'm taller! Yay." #brandonphillips #markellis #pod #saliva #nigeriandrummatch #wwe #aew #tna

OG Assistant Coach Trevor Hogg returned to the Bench to host this game, which pitted Bohmbach and Dave versus Mason and Snyder. During this episode, we mused about what a Post-modern Pentathlon would entail, we learned about legendary college football coach Herman Twoadays,  we got to experience a temporary team name change during halftime ("Two Masons, One Team"), we came to an agreement that there are too many initialisms, and Bohmbach asserted that he "went to school with some real Todds, not just the proverbial Todds." Lastly, we ponder the question, "How does Randy Johnson get so small?" #airbud #endgame #thefateofbuddythedog #todd #initialisms #nftg #nsfw #phrasing #xfiles #randyjohnson #small

New guest and friend of the Podcast Kyle Molitor (no relation to Paul) joins the Bench to team with Walling to face Markkus and Scott.  Our guest fits in well by missing part of a question - and calling himself for a 2-minutes for skimming penalty.  We have other misreads - the clues says Lager, not Logger!  We also learn about the lead singer of Lipps, Inc.  And let's just watch our pronunciation when we discuss the Big Blocks guys. #chiefs #scooby #paulmolitor #twominutesforskimming #lager #logger #lippsinc

Snyder hosts as Dave and Bohmbach take on Gabe Pulver and Jamie Hirsh from the Menschwarmers podcast in a game featuring Jewish Sports Quarterly All-Stars. Gabe names Bohmbach a “Mike Jacobs All-Star” (sounds Jewish but isn’t), along with hammer toss champ Ethan Katzberg. In the first quarter, Luks reveals Bob Geldof’s unknown child, Zach, and Gabe recalls Charles Barkley racing Dick Bavetta.  During a second-quarter Missing Link, Gabe remembers Remember the Titans, and guesses that the Jewish link might somehow be related to papal names.  In halftime, we learn that Nemo’s dad came up with the theory of relativity, and that the star of a Fish Called Wanda could have been Jamie Lee …Schwartz??? The third quarter sees both teams go deep in the very shallow pool of Jewish Quarterbacks, as the Menschwarmers unwrap the kimono on Scott Zolak, and query (quite un-Jewishly, I might add) that if Charlie Whitehurst was clipboard Jesus, was his dad David “clipboard God”? In a very Luks moment, David makes a pop culture reference to Allan Sherman, who did “Harvey and Sheila.”  The Menschwarmers answer at least two questions correctly because of Jewish Geography, and while kibbitzing in the fourth quarter, David shares that, contrary to popular belief, he was not at the 1946 All-Star Game, because it was his Bar Mitzvah.  No one gets Snyder’s clue on the last question, and we end by exchanging misdelivered mail.  #philiproth #riseball #demardiedforthis #Jewishgeography #MichaelJordon #LuksisBostonPops
