EP 365: Good-Time Slim, Uncle Doobie, and the Great "Frisco Freak-Out" (featuring Gabe Pulver & Jamie Hirsh of the Menschwarmers Podcast)
2w ago01:18:10Tap to summarizeSnyder 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 *For a glossary of Jewish terms and phrases used in this episode, go to https://tinyurl.com/Menschwarmers 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

3w ago00:59:14Tap to summarizeAssistant Coach John Ross returns to the Bench in this Tako-hosted game. In this episode, Walling assures us that they have medicine for that, Dave tries to get us all in trouble with HR for Googling things that should not be Googled at work, Scott turns into Benchwarmers Icarus with his soccer and Mark Wahlberg hubris, both teams attempt to 3-2-1 Nik Stauskas for the first time in podcast history, and we posit the theory that Post Malone and Willie Cauley-Stein could actually be the same person. #bellbivdevoe #olindomare #radickey #google #nsfw #icarus #markwahlberg #nikstauskas #postmalone #williwcauleystein 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
Transcribe →EP 363: Between Two Benchwarmers (featuring Assistant Coaches Jerry Filbin and Adrian Bias)
4w ago01:12:19Tap to summarizeAssistant Coaches Adrian Bias and Jerry Filbin join Dave and Mason on the bench for a Snyder-hosted game that starts out a little like a certain Zach Galifianakis show. After Jerry informs us that Brendan Sorsby has been banned from NFL Europe, the Missing Link is, well, very missing. In the second, Adrian knows CBA players, and Dave gets irate with the NHL original 6, and with Jerry for knowing the Goliath answers without telling him. Appropriately, we take a halftime trip to the liquor store, where Jerry extols an answer for “tasting good coming back up”. In the “Let it Ride” third, Dave inaugurates the Roman Reigns Award for Best Practice Squad Defensive End. After some complicated wagering in the fourth, Snyder clues a bonus question with references to moose and diabetes, leading Dave to declare: I have one of those! And leading the rest of the crew to inquire: You have a moose? #everythingchanges #Moussadiabate #namepolynesians #messysabreball 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
Transcribe →EP 362: Has Nothing Ever Happened in Myanmar? (featuring Assistant Coach Marc Grenier)
Jul 1401:00:59Tap to summarizeAssistant Coach Marc Grenier returns to the Bench to team with Scott and compete against Bohmbach & Tako. In the first quarter, the teams managed to have an obvious answer with a "3-2-1 Response", and then soon after, a difficult question brings them to a "1-2-3 Silence." David is criticized for his questions (blasphemous!) as Tako implies David doesn't know what difficult is, and then later Scott jumps the gun on an answer that David may not have thought through (again, blasphemous!). At one stage, Tako suggests we talk about Lynn Swann with the sole purpose of pissing off Markkus, and David accuses one team of just having the Wrong Long. Watch out for the return of Wemby Jones, and oh yes, if anyone is curious, mugs should still be available. #myanmar #321 #123 #blasphemous #lynnswann #wronglong #wembyjones #mugs 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

Jul 701:24:40Tap to summarizeLong-time guest, Benchie Award winner, and Equipment Manager for our Patreon team Chris Shen returns to the bench to host this great game! In this episode, we discuss women who take public transportation, reaffirm that Jon Heder is definitely not Tongan, and ask the eternal question, "What is the Powerslap of Curling?" #benchie #publictransportation #bobbyorr #jonheder #tongan #powerslap #curling 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

Jun 3000:54:28Tap to summarizeAssistant Coach Sam Cook returns to the Bench for this Tako-hosted game. In this episode, Luks gets to hear the correct pronunciation of Chimere Dike, there is a game-changing Missing Link ruling, we briefly become a Benjamin Franklin podcast, there is a golf-hockey crossover that somehow doesn't involve Happy Gilmore, and Dave tries to recall an answer he learned while drunk. #chimeredike #missinglink #benjaminfranklin #happygilmore 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
Transcribe →EP 359: Can I Click the Hyperlink? (featuring Equipment Manager David Fudor)
Jun 2301:23:46Tap to summarizeLongtime Supporter and Equipment Manager David Fudor returns to the Bench to team with Dave as the Mortarboard (NOT Motorboat) Double D's to take on the team of Bohmbach and Mason in this Snyder-hosted game. Dave invents the game of Strugball, which is played in Alabama rather than Quebec. The Odd One Out becomes 19th-Century Rules Odd One In as Bohmbach uncaps his veto pen, and Dave proclaims, "That is a LOT of sawdust!" When Snyder experiences technical difficulties during the halftime song quiz Pre-and-Post Game, David proclaims the answer is "The Sounds of SiLance Armstrong". Plus, Bohmbach RAPS! Snyder's fourth quarter lack of editing leaves Mason grasping for straws with a run of gems: "Can I click the hyperlink?"; "What is this - an escape room?"; "I don’t understand why all these capital letters are in here – this is how Donald Trump punctuates his sentences!"; and, at last, "Good old Bobby Grapefruit." In the end, just like after any good sporting event (as Dan would say), the clues leave both teams feeling dirty and needing a shower. #overunder #ballsports #oddonein #pomade #queensberries #eurostep #positivek #pantherpride #worldcup #bowlerhats 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

Transcribe →EP 357: Da'Penguin (featuring Assistant Coach Jerry Filbin and Equipment Manager Hugh Gitlin)
Jun 901:27:16Tap to summarizeMarkkus has a rare hosting appearance in this game, featuring Luks and Assistant Coach Jerry Philbin competing against Snyder and Equipment Manager Hugh Gitlin. In this game, Jerry points out that one answer may have four ex-wives, just like his dad. Markkus stumps the teams with an obscure (Whooo?!) series of David v Goliath questions, and one player asks for his teammate to throw out the whitest name he knows. We also witnessed some guesses, like Man-o-Warren Moon and Emmanuel Mudiayvid Njoku. Shockingly, both were wrong. #carolina #exwives #whooo #whitestname #manowar #warrenmoon #emmanualmudiay #davidnjoku 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
Transcribe →EP 356: Ridin' Clergy (features Assistant Coach Trevor Hogg)
Jun 201:09:59Tap to summarizeAssistant Coach and podcast favorite Trevor Hogg returns to the Bench for this David-hosted game to team with Snyder to take on the team of Scott and Markkus. At the beginning of the game, Scott is happier to see David than he is with his new marriage - but that changes over the course of the game. Scott & Markkus figure it out early when they try to get inside David's head to second-guess his questions. Big shoutout later to Marfan Syndrome (don't ask!), and of course to Rabbi Rainwater.
