Assistant Coach (and Benchie winner) Chris Shen returns to the bench to team with Mason Guillot (or Gason Muillot) again Scott and Matt D. Right from the start, Scott foreshadows a question in his introductions. Later, our guest is very pleased that he pulls one answer in the Lucky 7. One team panics and conjures up Jackie Gleason as an answer. And finally, Mason completes his character arc on the podcast. #horseface #chirsmullin #carrierpigeons #jackiegleason #benchies https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast…

David hosts this game with Matt D and Mason teaming up to face Markkus and Assistant Coach to our Patreon Team, Josh Snyder. David clearly had returning player Josh in mind when wrote this game, which featured a Dad joke inspired hafltime, and a return of the Missing Limerink. Mason and Matt tried their best to throw David off his game out of the gate with their team name. David gets his revenge when Mason struggles to pronounce a pre- and post-game answer. The teams also learn some important lessons including that it is difficult to have your head be in Detroit if the rest of you is somewhere else, and even more importantly, a worm is not an arachnid. #mitchtrubisky #skydome #dadjokes #detroit #worm #arachnid https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast…

Josh hosts the first recorded game of 2025, and the teams set all kinds of milestones checking in. In this episode, all the players fight the cold weather (especially Tako in mid-50s California). We try and guess Eastern European first names (and are somehow aided by Gilbert Arenas?), create adult film parodies, and talk a lot about meats, including wondering what cut of steak the Donovan cut would be, and fondly remembering NASCAR Champion Big Beef and Phoenix Suns legend Bacon Busch. #percyjackin #armyofthedead #secretoftheooze #snowday https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast ,…

Walling finally professionally hosts his contractually obligated yearly game pitting Assitant Coach Matt Coleman and Mason vs Markkus and Dougherty. In it, Walling kicks us off with a top tier dad joke, Mason raises some Ds throughout the game, we discuss pricey players and former Yankees, and the players attempt to get inside the mind of an enigma. In spite of all of his efforts to maintain professionalism, Walling breaks Markkus who breaks Walling in return during the third quarter. #shannonsharpe #louholth #lisp #mettaworldpeace #glutenfree #pasta #auntjemima #ccmusicfactory #transferportal https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast ,…

In this all-Benchwarmer game hosted by Josh, we discover that old Venezuelans are not Tako's forte, we imagine a world where Alan Rickman played a Batman villain, Ede asks "Is it a stupid face?" and informs us that his dad only watched Hunter and M*A*S*H, we were slightly surprised that Mason has never watched The Goonies, we speculate that Ice Pirates would be a great name for an EDM band and should open for Diplo, and we finally jumped the shark by referring to country singer Mel Tillis. #jumptheshark #thunder #turkeydinnerpotatochips #venezuela #alanrickman #batman #stupidface #hunter #mash #thegoonies #icepirates #diplo #meltillis https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast…
David hosts this all-Benchwarmer game that sees Eric Ede team with Matt Dougherty to take on the formidable team of Scott and Mason. Despite the fact that David is hosting and Ede is playing, David avoids getting fired. Ede declares that since 2024 has come to an end, he can stop the charade, and he doesn't have to be pro-woman any more. However, he thinks that Dak Prescott still stinks. If you are curious about what TV quotes may reference Frank Gore, or what makes Scott conjure the idea of a Nathan's Hot Dog contest with multiple countries, then please have a listen.…
