Assistant Coach Marc Grenier returns to the Bench after a 9-month hiatus to team with Scott, competing against Markkus & Eric Ede. Luks hosts the game and witnesses Markkus throwing a tirade on question 1. It really doesn't take much. Both teams foreshadow an answer from the 4th quarter in early discussions. Important life questions are also pondered; for example, who has Ben Affleck not been dating? And did Steve McNair play for the A's? Ede also accuses Luks of taking artistic liberties in the pre- and post-game round - a charge which Luks vehemently denied. #adamdunn #hiatus #benaffleck #stevemcnair #athletics #artisticliberties

Head Coach Dave Wortz and Equipment Manager Hugh Gitlin returned to the Bench for this Josh-hosted game. Walling wished everyone a Happy Hatch Chili Season before he rubbed his eye after handling peppers...PSA - wash your hands! In this episode, Markkus checked out of an entire quarter due to the sports involved, after a Halftime Show question Dave imagined Benchwarmers in claymation, we learned that F1 legend Michael Schumacher directed two Batman movies (Bat nipples? Really?!), and for a second time since Zoom changed their chat function, a team has given away an answer in the main chat. #miketyson #kiss #iowa #hatchchili #washyourhands #claymation #michaelschumacher #batman #batnipples #checkyourchat #thankszoom

It's an all-Benchwarmer affair, and an all-women's sports game! In this episode, Scott tries to trade David to Throwback Trivia Takedown before the trade deadline, one team has their name changed mid-episode to the Old Pervs (guess which one?), we have a Magic Mike/Disney crossover discussion, we discuss softball pitchers who look like they play football at North Dakota, and ask the philosophical question, "What is the Arabic Smith?" #walsh #mingnawen #watchwomenssports #thisnamehasnovowels

Assistant Coach David Fudor returned to the Bench for this Ede-hosted game. During Ede's all-hockey Curriculum Vitae quarter, Tako inquired if Ede was talking about Vince or Dom when referencing Wayne Gretzky's brother. After that quarter was finished, Josh proclaimed that "we are good at hockey questions" (and you may be too). During halftime, Josh was wondering what Disney film featured a waterslide tycoon (note that he had never seen any of the three movies, but Mason had). And once again, Ede tried to kill off Skip Bayless by mentioning him during the fourth quarter. #normalsizedhands #hockey #vinceordom #waynegretzky #disney #waterslidetycoon #skipbayless

Head Coach Dave Wortz returned to the Bench for this Tako-written game hosted by Markkus. For the first time, Dave did not have a new job to announce during introductions. With it being Episode 316, Markkus busted out his best Lou Holtz impersonation of Stone Cold Steve Austin. Josh declared his frustration with loose rhyming schemes. We also learned about the illustrious(?) history of U.S. Olympic race walking, including two-time bronze medalist Larry Young (1968 and 1972). #fantasticfour #skins #what #whataburger #stonecold #steveaustin #mumblerap #racewalking #larryyoung #janvesely #kimbo #weloveyoufrance

Scott Hyland returned to the Bench and drew the short straw, having to team up with Josh, for this music-heavy Mason-hosted game. After the first two questions Josh proclaimed that the game was #toomuchminnesotaadjacent, but it did not take long for him to get super salty during the second quarter (and not solely due to a repeat quarter style). However, classical music saved the day and lifted Josh out of his salt funk. We discovered that Reggie Roby was a three-sport athlete as he was a catcher for the Colorado Rockies and a big man for the Washington Wizards. Walling invented a new genre of music known as Bafredwa (not sure which larger genre it fits within, but it's probably yacht rock, knowing Walling). And we had a lively discussion about tall and ugly Wizards (Gandalf excluded). #rjharvey #music #salty #classicalmusic #reggieroby #coloradorockies #washingtonwizards #bafredwa #yachtrock #gandalf

Assistant Coach Jerry Philbin joins the squad to team with Tako, competing against Scott & Mason, in this David-hosted game. From the get-go, it is clear that Scott has forgotten that he has teamed with Mason more than 20 times in the past, as he treats him like a guest. Mason demonstrates his knowledge of first ladies of the U.S., going back to Grace Coolidge, cutting himself off there before he gets all the way back to Babe Van Buren. Later in the game, Tako compares the 1999 Orlando Magic to Colorado Rockies catchers - we clearly can't remember either one. (Unless you are Scott Grimes, of course). #firstladies #gracecoolidge #babevanburen #orlandomagic #coloradorockies

Newcomer Colin Ireland joined the Bench to team up with Benchwarmer Emeritus Dan, reuniting half of an old trivia team (The Four Horsemen), in this #toomuchminnesota Josh-hosted game. Early on, Dan inquired if a stanza from a Sporting Haiku question was a Meatloaf reference, which triggered Scott to say, "Oh, hi mom!" Mason informed the crew that he had a dream recently that was similar to a Halftime Show movie plot. Mason also thought that a movie titled "Celtic Pride, Cowboy Ride" could be a hit (stay tuned, you may hear the trailer for it if we ever have a second Benchies episode). And last, but not least, Mason and Scott introduced us to the infamous German-Finnish NHL enforcer Nöpe Same (pronounced Noo-pay Sah-may). #karlanthonytowns #fourhorsemen #meatloaf #himom #celticpride #cowboyride #nhl #nopesame
