Teams Tournament: Tom & Paul vs Final Exam - Movie Trivia Schmoedown

[@TheDrumstickNinja]

Brad has gotta be one of my favorite announcers/interviewers. He just has a professionalism and a natural charm. Glad to see him on the desk again

[@outsidelookinginprod]

Other than maybe NerdChronic and his editing prowess, he has to be the biggest steal by Kristian in terms of bringing him into the Schmoedown. Brad is a true professional. He has a successful career in radio and podcasting and television. And he brings those talents to the Schmoedown. I think The Boat is a fair nickname for him.

[@bythangho]

Agree Brad should host all the time

[@jackx3546]

​@@bythangho yeah very impressive

[@tiagocruz10]

Couldn't agree more. He adds a lot to whatever he does in the Schmoedown.

[@maryhm711]

Absolutely agree with your comment Skip. Definitely a favorite!

[@coreylee3378]

He really said "not into a filter!" I'm dead

[@Just_Ben_]

Rough season for Preston. Have a feeling he’s going to be back with an vengeance next season. 31 points without a third round is insane for Final Exam

[@Weaponator18]

This teams tournament has lived up to the hype so far. We got another sweet match here today! Final exam lived up to their full potential today. 31 points without needing to answer a round 3 question is a fantastic day. They just seized momentum at the beginning and just never let go. Their match against (probably) the founding fathers should be really good. Tom and Paul are proof that you can't just put two good players together and just magically expect great results. I'm glad Paul was able to let loose at the end. He's had a rough year and he may not win a title, but he's still a ton of fun to watch. Tom's a truly unique character, but he does have some 'achity syndrome' where the bit gets in the way of his gameplay. I like this team, and although I don't think they'll be together in 2021, I'm interested to see what Tom and Paul both do.

[@jameslevario2254]

Dude, I loved the post match interview with Tom, Paul, and Kate. I rewound and watched it a few times!!

[@tomiwaaina5499]

"Where did a Grace go." Was fuckimg hilarious

[@maryhm711]

Can I just say Winston is GOLD. His Al Pacino bit was awesome! I couldn’t stop laughing and smiling. He is so great, every match.

[@navtektv]

"I can get us some goats." LOL Holy Schmoedown Gods protect Tom at all cost!

[@DrAndyShick]

Before Night Falls sounds like a movie Kristian would have made up

[@LAnimeMaster]

Nice match. Kate and Tom are always cracking me up. Paul Preston did as well. lol

[@maxmilianmusic]

Lon's character is making ppl sleep on how well he's been playing.

[@maryhm711]

Lon was playing phenomenal in this match. I love this team!!

[@dancollins3999]

paul played well but toms character doesn't work on online teams when he can't communicate properly. however final exam with 31 after 2 rounds is very very impressive

[@KDMantz]

Me, anytime Lon’s dog shows up: “HI TACO!” ...Like he can hear me lol

[@chronos5385]

this one stings for me cuz both Lon and Preston deserve wins, I hope whoever's season ends today gets a couple early shots next year

[@bsbgirl85]

Yeah, I love both of them and both teams. I wish they weren't facing each other in the first round. Lon and Preston's singles records don't do them justice at all.

[@BrittsBites402]

I couldn't help but giggle whenever someone said "Grace-Kate"

[@ZachBobBob]

Such a good match and the character work was excellent all round

[@josemont25]

I want Tom & Paul to get their revenge. Let’s go!

[@jackx3546]

Good match all round guys, keep it up!

[@kamshafty]

Lon, TOM, Oyama - some of my favorite players and men of all time!

[@qdandnful]

Tom and Paul are giving me KD and Westbrook vibes.

[@sidarthur475]

So good to see a little ASTROs jab on the schmoedown... made my day. Bang bang

[@romeyroe]

I'm loving the H-town skyline behind Brad....Da H is in the house babyyyy

[@Mike12131984]

Lmao at P Preston at the end

[@ChrisWoodburn83]

That was definitely the first time where 3 different competitors got a perfect 1st round

[@nwworrior28]

SPOILERS Paul has to leave this team. Tom is fun but a terrible partner imo. Paul should team up with Bateman next year! They'd be a killer duo!!

[@Maitch3000]

Tom is probably a better partner in the studio matches when they can whisper to each other, but he is too committed to the bit in the online matches.

[@max_6763]

Paul and Ben would be a great heel combo

[@DVouts11]

Holy hell Paul and Ben!? Yes!!

[@maryhm711]

I really am a huge Paul fan and I’d love him to have an opportunity to really have a great dynamic team member and go far in this teams league. He is a top tier player.

[@nwworrior28]

@@maryhm711 Completely agree! Hope he has a good year next year!

[@bsbgirl85]

lol Why is Kristian always avoiding the matches that Preston is in? I wish both of these teams weren't facing each other so early, but at least I kind of get my Lon vs. Tom match. Still want a singles match with those two! Love Preston's Dan Murrell cosplay. Good match, love both teams so another torn match too. Congrats to Final Exam, they definitely kicked ass in this match and showed once again why they are one of the most dangerous teams in the Schmoedown. Just another accomplishment on Winston's resume for MOTY. All day every day! I'm not going to underestimate The Witching Power, but if Final Exam face The Founding Fathers that is going to be a hell of a match! Let's see what happens.

[@Tereza_Sky]

awesome match

[@mildmanneredcomicnerd8849]

Great match. Tom reminds me more and more of “L” from 💀Death Note 📝 more and more ☺️

[@Molson-xg9hs]

I really like all four of these...sad to see one team lose.... And it’s the one I expected. Poor Paul. No points this season from him, just snakebit from start to finish. I love Tom...but virtual teams is a hard fit for him. Final Exam is my favorite team this year. Lon has had a lot of fun with his character. Paul being relaxed and laidback is so much more fun than Generic Cool Heel #12. An expected matchup against the Fathers should be a lot of fun. Who does Winston keep next year? He has Chandru and Ace playing title matches, Lon and Paul are a top 5 team and Liz went to the semis in singles. I’d hate to see any of them move on, but he can’t keep them all.

[@kamshafty]

Just watching now at 8pm pst

[@AllOutMovies]

Paul is one of my favorite Schmoedown players. He’ll bounce back next year.

[@potterpotty01]

loved it when Lon got up and left!

[@jasonfasthorse8939]

Paul Preston he deserves a New and Better partner that isn’t so concerned about his act, Paul has been through too much

[@anthonytutone]

I agree entirely. I felt bad for him while watching the match. I think Tom should lay the bit to rest, especially for teams

I was going to say the same thing. Booth are great players but they don't match well in teams. Tom should just be in singles if he is going to keep up the character the whole time.

[@Nightfall815]

Paul did really good, and while Tom is a strong player, he is maybe too deeply committed to his character, which hurts a team synergy... outside of Video Drew perhaps...

[@2010adsf]

The Grace impression is on point.

[@clooner_]

Tom vs Lon, top tier character vs top tier character

[@bsbgirl85]

This has to happen dammit! I think that's the Singles match I want the most.

[@HamzaJJ1]

Great match! Kate rocks.

[@FinalLevelBoss]

Second time this season that someone cosplays Murrell.

[@michaelkaine9985]

I like Tom and Paul as a team. The two questions they got wrong I was not sure about either. Final Exam is a tough team.

[@DVouts11]

Really hate to see either team lose here and definitely would hate to see either of these teams play The Found Fathers (assuming they get past their first match) because then one of those teams would have to lose as well... Either way, this match was great (and hilarious) and I look forward to every match in this tournament... I hope Paul isn't too disappointed in their loss. They put up a ton of points.

[@Arcadio_Castellanoz]

The 70’s porn comment DESTROYED me

[@BrynjarReynisson]

What a match by Final Exam. Wow. They did great. I think they have a great chance of beating Founding Fathers if they win Witching Power

[@bsbgirl85]

I personally see them winning this Team Tournament, but anything could still happen going by the Singles Tournament outcome *pukes* but Final Exam is still my pick to take this.

[@michaelkaine9985]

Damn 32 points by the end of the second round that is fucking crazy.

[@ChrisWoodburn83]

Great to see The Boat Brad Gilmore in the Building

[@eshna2012]

This is not a round one match up! Gonna suck either way ... 😞☹️🥺😩

[@ChrisWoodburn83]

Paul & Lon are a very deadly combination #FinalExam #Swag

[@michaelkaine9985]

31 points i mean. That is crazy. Tom and Paul have run in to such bad luck in both their matches.

[@maryhm711]

Final Exam is scary good. The teams league should be on notice. LOOK OUT!!! 31 points after round 2!

[@Halderic]

Tom and Paul have no team chemistry. It takes a special kind of person to jell with Tom (like Videodrew) and Paul just doesn't have it, not that I blame him.

[@JonnySuite13]

This match was a complete identity crisis. LOL

[@patrickharden9917]

Now I want a new hat.

[@bigjsquare1988]

That Undercover Brother question hurt my soul. #handsomenumbers

[@briannussbaum4898]

Tough one but gotta go with Tom & paul

[@fjames72]

I think Tom and Paul split next year just a gut feeling.

[@melissajd3312]

Man, this match up broke my heart, love BOTH teams. That said... yes tom and paul don’t fit together well as a team, but even more importantly, they need a manager more suitef to them, especially tom.

[@Flash18487]

Was that a spoiler when Paul said “good luck against the 2 Goats”?

[@LAnimeMaster]

I think he was just saying that because they're huge favorites to win. I think just about everyone is predicting Founding Fathers to beat Witching Power.

[@maryhm711]

No. Not at all. That’s just playing the odds.

[@jeffnicholas6342]

I love the team format. Sucks that Paul and Tom didn’t have manager support.

[@stevenbraswell5616]

Greeting from the future. The Den is still here without Grace but The Troops are gone.

[@SuperSinsir]

A bad season for Paul Preston, sadly don't think he fit with Tom and Kate. He will be a great target for other managers though

Anyone see WINSTON on the premier of SUPERSTORE?!? 🤩

[@musicallynerdy8860]

YES! It was only for a few lines but I got so excited when I saw him. Hope that restaurant opens again at the season finale or whenever it decides to reopen so we can see him again

Tom drop the character a little and help Preston when crunch time!

Paul and Tom doesn't have chemistry. Lon and Oyama good play

[@gabrielleroux1757]

I was waiting for this match, then I saw Brad on the desk 😒 I can’t stand this guy

[@JonNelson523]

Thank you. i thought i was the only one.

[@gantz0949]

Not the same as live😢 this is played out

[@ralphroshia9247]

This the match that I wanted to see lot of questions right and a lot a fun Primetime and Lon got the win and will be tough to beat as for Tom and Paul I think they can be a great team but they need to get away from Mulligan just as long it's not Kaiser those two have got to be the dumbest managers in the league anywhere else and they be fine

[@qdandnful]

That's pretty fucked up, its just a game dude.

[@jbearclowater]

Mulligan is so committed to her bits that I think it gets in the way of being a stronger manager sometimes. Paul Preston needs a manager who can help him grow and improve, and she is just not the person for that job. Tom seems more committed to the bit than the competition, but he would do better under a different manager as well.

[@dotsnhots2440]

Swear Tom is trying to look at stuff in round 2, no hands, again.. Happy for Final Exam, gutted for Paul

[@robertprocon]

I don’t think Tom’s shtick fits teams very well

[@joevonschmidt6898]

I understand the whole thing with these players "acting" or having a whole bit, but Tom's thing is just way too much. Its not really funny and it just seems too much at times.

[@greenday051391]

Tom is so annoying.

[@iluvenisp]

Brad is so annoying, Kristian was SORELY missed!

[@DaniZam41]

I liked Brad

[@BrittsBites402]

I thought he was fine

[@jadeybarnett6296]

Two most annoying managers in the league. We don’t want to see Kate or Winston.

[@ChrisWoodburn83]

Maybe you don't, but myself and many more do wanna see Kate & Winston

[@outsidelookinginprod]

Two MOST annoying? Okay, I am not a fan of Kate, but I mute Roxy when she talks. She is so irritating that I can't even listen to her. At least I can tolerate Kate. And Winston is a fantastic manager.

[@BrynjarReynisson]

Winston is the best and most fun manager in the league. What are you talking about

[@BrittsBites402]

HOT TAKE. Geez.

[@Nightfall815]

What do you mean - Roxy wasn't here!
