    EP 365: Good-Time Slim, Uncle Doobie, and the Great "Frisco Freak-Out" (featuring Gabe Pulver & Jamie Hirsh of the Menschwarmers Podcast)

    Snyder 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

    EP 359: Can I Click the Hyperlink? (featuring Equipment Manager David Fudor)

    Longtime 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
