And that is how you end up having a pair of inspirational strongmen, Chop and Steele, appear on not one, not two, but three separate news shows. The duo had sent out a press release that cited a nonexistent tour and an America’s Got Talent appearance (with no video or documentation of either) and was picked up by stations in Wisconsin, North Dakota, and Pennsylvania.
But Chop and Steele, really Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher, are not, in fact, inspirational bodybuilders. They were not on America’s Got Talent, and they certainly were not on tour with their impressive feats of strength. Instead, they are just two pranksters looking to have some fun.
The result? Everything you would hope for it to be.
Despite being fake strongmen, Pickett AKA Chop actually broke a finger during their tennis racket “workout,” but like the true fake strongman that he is, he pushed through the pain. After their third performance, the duo cancelled their other appearances due to being “stressed out.”
