The Benchwarmers Trivia Podcast (Sports Trivia)

Assistant Coach Sam Cook takes the host seat on the Bench with a slightly distracted crew thanks to the NFL Draft. The gang loses their mind before Sam does the first question as the Rams pick ... Ty Simpson?!!? Some stuff happened and the game was the best part of a very bad day (or greatest day?) for Markkus as the NFL draft turned into a rotten pile of garbage. #nlf #nfldraft #rams #tysimpson #rottenpileofgarbage

Head Coach Philip Sanford returned to the Bench for this Dave-hosted game to team up with Bohmbach and face off against Mason and Snyder. For the second episode in a row, we had quarters with multiple styles (Newsflash - Bohmbach doesn't mind these "shenanigans"). Dave struggled with the scoring spreadsheet (apparently, it's not foolproof), and only 25% of the players have seen the Mighty Ducks movies, which made one quarter rather difficult. Plus, we learned that Chris Gaines played baseball in college. #delicious #vaguelydirty #newsflash #shenanigans #mightyducks #chrisgaines

In this Tako-hosted all-Benchwarmer affair, Bohmbach and Ede team up with Walling and Dave. In this episode, we mix some trivia amid rampant slander of David Luks, who isn't here to defend himself. In other news, Walling doesn't attend the Masters, a tradition unlike any other; we refuse to dive into the debate of whether something is yacht rock or not, Bohmbach's favorite FTG makes an appearance, both teams throw in the towel because they were too tired and didn't feel like reading anymore, and after four hard-fought quarters, it all comes down to knowledge of Cynthia Cooper's WNBA career. #masters #yachtrock #ftg #tootired #cynthiacooper

Returning guest and host Yael Wylie returns with a great game that pits Tako and Ede against Scott and Snyder. In this episode, the Benchwarmers fix NASCAR by making the drivers race barefoot and drive with actual moonshine liquor in the car, we remind everyone that Goon is a mindset and not a body type, we declare that "Linda is retired, and everyone's Jackson," and Snyder reminds everyone that only one person (not even his cousin Mike "Quickie" Lauda) can call him Josh Climax. #starzz #racecardrivers #icecube #lizzo #rodstewart #PWHL #tubularmeat #noshoes

BTP skips the mock draft just a fun chat about the 2026 Draft! 

Matt Coleman returns to the Bench after a long hiatus to team with Tako in a game facing Eric Walling and Josh Snyder. In the first quarter, one team rushes into an answer that may have cost them a question, but at least nets a clear joke opener about Alberto Del Rio, Dennis Pitta, and Plácido Domingo walking into a bar. In the 2nd quarter, Tako accurately points out that there isn't much to get out of a Drysdale. One team again invents old-timey baseball names, starting with good ol' Tungsten Arm Demetrius Lloyd. Finally, in desperation, one team had no choice but to posit that Horatio a.k.a Cap'n Crunch could very well have won a Heisman Trophy. Lucas Duda sang this song, Duda Duda. #albertodelrio #plácidodomingo #dennispitta #drysdale #horatio #capncrunch #lucasduda

First-time guest Aaron Kessler joins the Bench for this Bohmbach-hosted game, teaming up with Snyder to take on Mason and Dave. Early on (and often), Mason called for Dave to be fact-checked, and we learned that Mason understands Copilot better than ChatGPT (#moviesavant). There was a discussion about the need for more pitchers with presidents' names like Richard Nixon Jeffries. Lastly, we determined that for Bears fans, 4,000 passing yards is like breaking the sound barrier, in that they understand that it is theoretically possible. #factcheck #copilot #kylemaclachlan #richardnixon #marioregretti #foreshadowing #chipmunks

First-time guest and Bay Areas enthusiast David Sibony teams with Ede against Luks and Tako for a Snyder-hosted game where questions are more complicated than they should be. Tako opens by recalling the largest man he has ever stood next to, and closes the first quarter by remarking that "this answer just sounds like a scam. It's a $1,500 Lite Brite." Ede stays in the bathroom, sharing that most of his life is poop related. In the second quarter and halftime, we learn that Luks had a college roommate from the first Baseball Hall of Fame Class; he ate a fish hot dog at Game 1 of the 1954 World Series; and finally our guest takes a shot by asking "was that show in black and white?" Finally, Luks himself shares his signed picture "To David Luks - I'm better than you, Antawn Jamison." In the third, Luks smells shenanigans as River, Turn and Flop returns and Ede questions if anyone cares about the Blues or Grizzlies, and that a certain MLB team's mascot is a D - oh never mind. In the fourth, it feels personal when we learn Bingo Smith retired rather than playing for the Mavericks. #ToothpasteCollege #ArgumentsAboutWizardOfOz #FlushableWipesAreNotFlushable #Riverturnflop #BioMax #OldBae

Assistant Coach Vinnie Iyer returns to the Bench for a Tako-hosted game. In this episode, the Missing Link starts slow before a flood of knowledge, the players and the host feel Big Emotions during Curriculum Vitae (QUAY WALKER?!?!?!?!), we demand justice for Alanis Morissette during halftime, the teams navigate a tough Lucky 7 round with a little bit of gamesmanship, and, in the fourth quarter, we consider as an answer Benny the Jet's brother, Paulie "Walnuts" Rodriguez. Finally, we are reasonably confident that this episode is better than the nominees for the 1992 Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series. #worldbaseballclassic #teamitaly #yououghtaknow #seinfeld #sopranos #saturdaynightlive #lawandorder #oscars #emmys #grammys

Host Ede is back with another installment of the all-Benchwarmers series, and things get weird fast. We’ve got Snyder and Luks facing off against Markkus and Dave in a battle of wits (and questionable meat products). In this episode, we took a Deli Meat Deep Dive to investigate the legends of "Natural Ham" and "John Roast Beef." We envisioned hockey legend Berry Gordy, and got unexpectedly emotional about birthmark stories. We experienced the Spouse Takeover, where Ede got lazy and asked his wife to write an entire quarter of the game (OK, fine it was halftime). We imagined the Biopic Nobody Asked For, in which David Spade is destined to play Kurt Cobain. In the 3rd quarter, we experienced a Pop Culture Collision, as Dave identified our "Bad Bunny/Courtney Love" moment. Finally, during the "In Memoriam" 4th quarter: A somber (but hilarious) tribute, featuring a flurry of timely imitations from Markkus. #stuholtz #draftbusts #hiddenhockeyquestions #slowjohnson #quintoncoples #yamonfigurs #witharebelyelledewantsmooremooremoore
