“My client is on trial… and it’s an error.”
We’re cracking open the vault on one of the wildest, most theatrical, and absolutely iconic spectacles the Schmoedown ever produced: The Trial of JTE.
Yes, that trial. The one where Josh “The Engineer” Tapia stood accused before the tribunal of trivia justice in a whirlwind of legal improv, dramatic promos, and deeply unserious seriousness. Was it trivia? Was it performance art? Was it a fever dream wrapped in a court transcript?
All of the above.
Josh has never seen it, and Adelia hasn't seen it in a while, so they will react to the entire 27-minute video as the charges, the defense, the chaos, the cameos, and the stakes unfold, and discuss why this moment cemented itself as peak Schmoedown absurdity.
🎤 Was JTE guilty?
👨⚖️ Did Ken Napzok’s "prosecution" help or hurt?
📽️ And would we watch a full season of lawyer!Finstock? Yes. Yes, we would.
Let’s relive the courtroom madness. Because justice may be blind—but the Schmoedown never is.
