The Benchwarmers Trivia Podcast (Sports Trivia)

Although he claimed that he wasn't much of a sports trivia person, evidently our guest Bevan had competed on Sports Jeopardy, and it definitely showed! Bevan took up residence in Dan’s Mind Palace as he teamed up with him to face Scott and JJ in a game hosted by Matt. In it we learned a little bit about trick plays, that Matt is unable to count syllables, and that there may have been a movie where Air Bud was a washed up wide receiver. Also, surprise surprise! Matt can ACTUALLY write questions about modern sports topics! 

Pate Hogan joins the Bench to team up with Eric against Mason and our newest official Benchwarmer, Markkus Ellis. Josh hosts a game that includes flavor text about Ice Dancers(Yes, Ice Dancers), MORE Minnesota questions, and a new way to identify Snowboarders, courtesy of our guest. Josh also debuted a brand new quarter style, so follow along and enjoy!

Equipment Manager Ian Hollenberg joined the bench and was unfortunately teamed up with Matt to face Dan & Scott in a game hosted by JJ. In it we learned that Ian and Matt are NOT a good pair for pre & post game, evidently Ferrari has a nickname and a very clever missing link round causes Matt to come to a harsh realization.

Assistant Coach and, spoiler, then future Benchwarmer, Markkus Ellis joined the bench and teamed up with Scott against Eric & Josh. Mason hosts and in this episode we learn: which Roy Williams was a bust, Nadia and Young & The Restless had the same theme song, Jamal MaGloire's last name is not pronounced MaGLaurie, and the 1986 Met's had a lot of fictitious thoughts about dinosaurs. 

Head Coach Brandon Reese joined the bench teaming up with Scott to play a game hosted by Dan. JJ and Matt team up to face them and in this episode we learn: It's never too late for water polo, Scott read a book as a kid, Bobby Boucher played for the Oilers and somehow Wile E Coyote gets his first mention on the show. 

Assistant Coach Trevor Hogg joins the bench to guest host an awesome game. Matt and Scott team up to face off against Dan and JJ, who may or may not be able to co-exist long enough to finish the episode. In the episode we learn that Matt knows NOTHING about strikeout leaders, there is more discussion on that truly amazing man Dick Weber, and Scott & Matt cheer aggressively when they get an answer wrong in the 3rd quarter.

The crew of Tim, Mac and Heather from the Home Town Crowd podcast joins the bench to face the Benchwarmer team of Scott, Dan & Matt for a game hosted by Josh. In it we learned: What year Kevin Greene got into the hall of fame, a lot of sports people have hosted SNL, Josh is good at sports & entertainment pre-post games, and one team has a big fourth quarter comeback to make the final score super close.
