When all is said and done, the exploits of comedy pioneers Joe Pickett & Nick Prueher, founders of The Found Footage Festival, should be well documented and celebrated.

Thankfully, not only are the life long friends and comedy partners back out on the road for the fest's latest edition, but they've got an astounding and nearly unbelievable documentary, Chop & Steele, following a giant media company suing them for doing a bit on a local morning news show set for release very soon (May 9th). Pickett and Prueher commitment to bits is almost unrivaled as they essentially making a living through having every bit of fun they possibly can conceive of. This week's TCB Field Report talks to Joe & Nick about their whole journey to court and back because of "news experiments" and the ethos behind their comedy that centers on awkward, cringe, and the "unintentional".

Also, "hot' takes on Max (formerly HBO Max) ordering a new Big Bang Theory, Taiwanese Winnie-the-Pooh-getting-punched patches, and more.
