The Benchwarmers Trivia Podcast (Sports Trivia)

Geek Bowl teammates team up against each other for this one! Peter Andolina and Eric take on Philip Sandford and Dan in a game hosted by JJ. In the episode we lose ALL of our potential sponsors (looking at you Olive Garden!). We THINK JJ MIGHT like Drew Brees, just a guess though. And JJ struggles with some challenging team names.

Two members of the Sinister Six trivia team join the bench to face Scott & Matt. Dan hosts with a duplicate Deans List (Ooops!), a bear of a Missing Link round, a David v Goliath that gets swept, and a new high score is set.

Guest Nicolle Neulist joins us for a fun, exciting game that will have you singing along! Nicolle teams up with Eric in a nail biter against Scott and Dan. The players attempt to use the “Know Your Host” strategy to answer Matt’s questions involving Beastie Boys lyrics, triple crown winners and Polish soccer stars. Matt also spins us right round like a record in the 4th quarter. And we THINK Matt's wife is from Nebraska... not sure though. 

Guest Eric Walling joined the bench for a very interesting game hosted by Eric Ede. In it we get some breaking news, Eric Walling sets a new record in How Low Can You Go, Eric Ede loses control multiple times, not much is known about the 1990 NBA assist leaders, everyone wants Rick Pitino to have Ryan Fitzpatrick's beard, and Eric Ede comes up with two virtually un-answerable 4th quarter questions. Oh, and Eric Ede just gives the teams the answer to a question. Classic Beanchwarmer move bro!

This was an episode recorded in June and we pushed it back with so many great guests on the show. But we figured we had to get it out sometime. Enjoy! 

Evidently Eric didn't know that Elton John was from the UK, but he thinks Sir Charles Barkley MIGHT be British. And there's some confusion about who had an affair with LeBron's mom... Either way, Eric and Mason take on JJ and Dan while Scott mixes a nice spread of easier questions with some challenging one. 

Houston native Taylor Scholl joins the podcast which is great, but the only problem is that he is facing the juggernaut team of Eric and Dan. Can Taylor and benchwarmer JJ overcome the odds? In this episode we learn that palindromes are ALWAYS correct, that Wayne Gretzky is the far superior brother, and that apparently you can walk into a Cheesecake Factory and meet a plethora of famous people! Wait until the end for a fourth quarter JJ meltdown. :-)

Adrian Dater, editor-in-chief of Colorado Hockey Now (coloradohockeynow.com), teamed up with Eric against Josh and Dan in a game hosted by Mason. The teams show off their knowledge of team mascots and Marlins players (even though they thought they didn't know that many), Mason is once again given a hard time for older sports questions, Eric somehow remembers a terrible song about basketball, and everyone has to wonder what might cause someone to throw a bowl of soup.

Matt hosted a game with guest Tim Geving teaming up with Mason, against the benchwarmer team of Scott & JJ. In the episode we covered: Perfection snatched away in the last second, that Brett Favre had a ton of good backups, the Pirates have had a tough run over the past 40 years, Matt loves talking about the ABA and he crams in another Lynn Dickey reference.
