Growing Up With Mikey

[@Wearenotmarshall]

I don’t care what anyone says, OCC on Discovery was must watch TV during their heyday. These guys built an empire out of a small garage. The staying power was short but man what a run.

[@A.D.R.J.Coleman]

Love this! Mikey always been a favorite! Glad to see him doing good

[@raymonddowling-r7y]

you can hear the hurt and the pain ,, and also the love between the two of them.. it is nice to see them actually talking..

[@PrncssNis]

was good to hear Mikey's honesty, "funny for you but painful for me".

[@NWI_Steel]

That hit hard...

[@justinr4787]

He needs to man up ​@@NWI_Steel

[@carleysdad94]

Mikey is (and always has been) soft and needs to grow up. Suck it up, buttercup.

[@michaelsaville1785]

A special memory for me growing up watching the OCC show was the one where Mikey got a truck stuck in his dad’s pond he was building

[@Mr.Potato420]

then when they drug him out at 60 mph lmao

[@brandond6724]

Greatest episode everr !!!

[@NWI_Steel]

RIP Earl's shoe 😂

[@jordanloeffler4879]

One of mine to! Also when the hummer lost reverse and he jumped the snowbanks

[@Docstantinople]

Also when they drive through the old shop with the expedition and trashed it. 😂

[@truvintage5800]

Some of you people commenting don't understand some people forgive their parents of their shortcomings. That's very healing and to be able to see the humor in it is also therapeutic for some. Mikey was the one that just wanted to keep the peace! Still does! Love to Mikey!

Oh man I grew up with a grandmother my entire childhood. my mother who had two sets of kids technically abandoned them all for her own selfish reasons was seen around maybe twice a year, my dad (who had his own checkered past up in New York prior to him moving to my state and meeting my mom) I guess did the best he could when he was around, took kind of a toll on my childhood in an extremely negative way but FORTUNATELY by the time I was in my 20’s it hit me. Those parents weren’t perfect but 1. it only reinforced/proved the love my grandmother had for me and ultimately showed that I was worth something regardless of the struggle she had to apply in order to show it. 2. I grew up with what I feel was a great generational balance between X (me) silent (my grandmother) 3. I grew up to be a good judge of character that had never let me down. During rare conversations, about the topic, I remember my grandmother casually telling me that it might not be in the most traditional form, but those parents will one day be there and I better be ready to make the best of it because that’s the time that would count despite today being today. And she was right.. regardless of reason (I don’t care) by the time I reached my early 40’s lol both of my parents in their older age decided that it was time to get back together and actually get married and live what time they had left together. We all maintained a consistent relationship and saw each other on a daily basis. They both passed away around 10 years ago, but my brother and half brothers were all Abel to reconcile any differences or hard feelings before it happened….thankfully one again, I was able to reconcile mine over 20 something years ago.

[@truvintage5800]

@@angeldesigns1385 thanks for sharing that! Love is powerful thing and it comes in many forms. Glad you were able to reconcile those hardships into something positive in thr end. Have a great day!

Yes thanks

[@angeldesigns1385]

@@truvintage5800 thank you brother!

[@Docstantinople]

Mikey still playing the whole “boohoo poor me” game to this day.

[@AutomotiveVintage]

Paul , so glad you mentioned the Christmas Bike episode when Mikey made the Christmas Ornament with a picture of you taped to it. That was one of my favorite episodes. No matter how hard you tried to be serious, you couldn't do it because Mikey would always make you start cracking up laughing. That episode really showed a Fathers love for his son. God Bless and I hope all is well...

[@janele2488]

Mikey was Always the most humble kind person back in the day!! Sorry I never bought a painting from him in Montgomery to support his talent and I regret that. Thanks for the drinks at Sweeneys and great conversations!! You are a Great Soul and I'm sure you have your own memories of those days gone past. Nothing negative to say about Mikey!! I hope you're living your Best life now like we all are! ❤

[@macsterguy]

Good to see you Mike. I really miss seeing all you guys. My son and I used to watch the show together. After he got married, moved to Colorado, we would still watch together while we were on the phone just laughing so hard! Life is hard! But if you can bring some smiles to people along the way you served others!

[@BadBullitt3V]

I grew up with you watching the show. It's a part of my life. Thanks for a wonderful gift of memories as a true fan!

[@dercioferreira6169]

I love mikey he embraced his goofiness. That's the difference from being raised in the 80s to being raised now. God bless

[@erikc394]

Mikey is so authentic and funny. An overall positive person.

[@wendyharnarine6998]

Really enjoyed this episode. Great to see Mikey. Bless you both 🙌🏾

[@stathunter]

Glad to hear Mikey is doing good. He has a great heart! God Bless you both!

[@jasonblevins8280]

What I wouldn’t give to set with my late dad and talk…. We didn’t get along when I was in my 20’s but we always watched American Chopper together. RIP Dad love and miss yah

[@tomomasta3254]

Lost my dad too! Times change, but never for the better

[@sublime12201]

I watched the show since the pilot episode...after all these years I feel like we are all family ❤️❤️

[@brizza5188]

I love Mikey's honesty. 👍

[@jeremydiamond8824]

We love Mike and dad together!! The best !!👍🏻😎🇺🇸🦅

[@libertycan6959]

great video. thanks for the memories. had a nervous breakdown back in the day and my only connection was OCC and another program fixing house called While You Were Out with Teresa Strauser. still thankful for you guys and those programs. thank you.

[@melvinsmiley5295]

Hope you are doing well. Never give up!

[@leoaz4667]

I hope Paul Jr. will sit down with you. I can't can't believe you are 75 years old. You look great . Paul Jr your dad loves you please wake up and let the past go.

[@williamsugden5159]

This was great guys. Thank you both for doing this. Keep it together. Peace out.

[@OlSgtLove]

I had just got out of the Army when OCC started and I loved every minute and wish it was still running today . Love Mikey ,always a genuine person and tryed to keep the peace . Thankyou Paul Sr. And Mikey for sharing this .God Bless You All ...

[@brads141]

I started watching old OCC shows and was reminded how much I really liked that show. I miss the whole crew and wish they would do a reunion type of show.

[@thesimulatorguy4248]

When mikey said no one is dead. I thought instantly of Paul's Mother. The New York Yankies bike. I loved her like my own nan and she was only on the telly. Much love from the UK to you both

[@lonniem9728]

My favorite episode when they took her to the Yankees game

[@michaelbristol6467]

Jorge Posada " I call him George." ❤😉

[@davepelfrey3958]

​@@lonniem9728, yes she had the best time. Didn't one of the players let her wear a Championship ring? She had the biggest smile on her face.

[@dandoss-xp2qq]

Seeing Mikey brings back memories, such a kind hearted dude, y’all have special bond, blood is blood!!😊

[@freyhollywood8386]

I miss Mikey's podcast.....been months....gladt see Sr still kicking

[@DLC-sy7pp]

He should do it alone ,that other guy is annoying asf.

[@drak0v]

Mikey was always my favorite character. Thanks for sharing.

[@shaneb4923]

MIKEY And SR.!! This Was Super RAD!!

[@chicagonative27]

Paul Sr. Has always reminded me of my father, same demeanor and look. And I'm happy to see Mikey and Paul Sr. Talking reliving old memories together. Thank you for all great memories of the show the good and bad.

[@mikeb1442]

It's good to see SR and Mikey talking. You guys are truly great. Miss everyone from PJD and OCC

[@JoshuaStanley-o3l]

Miss you guys! Glad to see you together again. God bless you guys!

[@wolfman8449]

The goofy ones are often the most mature. 2 important things that Mike does here. He doesn't enable, he points out it was hurtful to him, and he's not hostile about it, which allows for more healing. It's very tough to not enable and it's very tough to not let resentment take over. Good on y'all for still trying.

[@dercioferreira6169]

Or crying about it saying he's got ptsd. People that have ptsd would be people that are in the army overseas

[@clintprice2123]

Mikey has always been a pleasure to watch on the show, how can you not like him? There absolutely is a great chemistry between both of you and I enjoyed seeing you two together. For 17 years old that pup looks great and is obviously well cared for, dogs are a true gift to us.

[@heatherprator3185]

Holy crap y’all are back. I’m 52 and lived to watch the show. So good to see you

[@kingkongkong2204]

Holy crap your old

[@vinnie5519]

Mikey is a true genuine guy an we love you man ....

[@gtd360]

He definitely listens, and in his family he had to listen to alot. Not much can bother him.

[@AdaMoto83]

I’ve just been looking over some of the really early occ vids. Such great times. Reminds me of being a teenager watching. Still smile seeing you guys talking old time. Keep safe all. 👌🏾👌🏾🤙🏾

[@kturbo09]

The real star of the show! Love Mikey! Hope he is doing great! Such a down to earth guy! Happy to see Sr visiting and enjoying time with you!

[@paleo704]

Took out the garbage with the best of them

[@Docstantinople]

lol some star. He was bum back then and apparently he’s still a bum now. And all these years later now that he’s disconnected from everyone and in charge of his own life, his lack of success in life is still everyone else’s fault.

[@justatitle]

I love you guys. Love you Mike, and Paul Sr. I think we’re all just on a journey to find out what really matters to us individually. When we get older IMO, our memories are the sum total of our life’s experiences, they’re the museum, or collection of our life’s learning and failures. I think when we get older we come to grips with our past life’s mistakes and successes. Our reflection IMO hyper focuses on what we could have done better, or hyper focus reflecting on satisfying moments that made our life and, or others better. Sometimes the record plays over and over again especially on failure, which isn’t the most healthy, and can be crippling, but it’s necessary to a point. We must realize we aren’t perfect and we did the best with what we knew at the time. Moving forward at any age is important, learning to Just Be, and after hours days years of reflection, we must heal and be considerate to ourselves, and being grateful for the opportunity of having the option to change the script if we choose.

[@Bobby59]

I love this! This is great. I hope there are more videos like this. We all loved the show…but after all these years, to have mellow sit down have warm conversations on the people we grew to know is great stuff. Some funny stuff in there too.

[@roberthill9011]

It's great to see you both. I can see the old shows were quite an intense time Aspell for a 20 year old just do what makes you happy. god bless you. 🐧🦛🕊️🐀🐢

Yall put a s😊mile on my face seeing yall together and the conversations . Great to see you Paul Sr. and Mikey !!!!

[@WinnfieldCustoms]

Mikey, Vinny, Cody were always my favorites as a kid

[@BordersBasher]

The best clip of you both I remember was the looking for Mikey everywhere, and the next thing here's Johnny haha. epic old stories and clips to watch. Glad to see Mikey is still going strongish.

[@scottbarnes9910]

Love you guys . Thanks for the great shows over the last 20 years keep it up with the youtube

Great seeing Mikey, was always my fav, reminded me of my brother, my father was always after him for something…my father mellowed-out with age as well…

[@ronny6458]

My now grown kids and I have great memories watching your show 💙

[@creativechannel6148]

Just discovered this channel, I missed you. I'm glad I found you!

[@reaperlux922]

When I was younger wouldn’t miss an episode or not get the new dvd set that was out. But now I’m older you look at the show and the people in it differently. And I fell for Mickey grew up the same way being the eldest could never do anything right by the old man. Good luck to you Mickey !!!!

[@mdemartile]

Mickey made that show, along with Vinny & Rick. Paul Jr doesn't have the emotional intelligence of his brother, not to to knock him for that, as growing up in an abusive home is never anyone's choice and he lashed out where Mikey went inward. The fabrication was my favorite part, and still is.

[@bladesofglorylawnmaintenan6354]

So flipping awesome to see @MikeyTuttle !! What a great soul he is!! Stay blessed guys!!

[@robpugh0829]

My favorite is when Mikey and Sr. went fishing in Sr's pond and Mikey caught that big catfish.

[@nigelcarren]

I was going to lock up the workshop and watch this right now, I will instead chase tonight's film with it! Great to see Mikey after all these years, and the lucky *****rd still has his hair!!! 🇬🇧⚒️🇺🇲

[@stevegood3224]

Thanks guys. Long time fan, and I always enjoyed the shows.

[@JLCra87]

Really good to see you guys just hanging out. Always enjoyed seeing you both, even if things weren't the most pleasant relations wise on the show. You are some awesome fellows.

I really enjoy these types of videos. It's nice to see you guys still love one another regardless of the squabbles. You should do more together and film it. Get out there and have some fun and laughter. 👍

[@johnharrison1429]

So happy to see both of you sit down together and doing well.

Great to see both of you together, you should do more with him on this channel, just like the old days, the fun stuff.

Came over from Bikes&beards used to watch you guys on tv building choppers glad you’re on KZbin. Wish you & you’re family the best. 🫡

[@portodbs]

The older we get the more we think about back in the day. Nice to see you guys together. I’d like to see you with all your kids together in a video in the future doing the same type of reminiscing.

[@wsk38]

Mikey. What a good guy. You were the glue and distracter at times. Your a kind soul

[@Kozmo13]

Great seeing Mikey again! You guys are always entertaining and I'm glad everyone is doing well.

[@esiebert7625]

No words except awesome

[@NWI_Steel]

Hilarious Mikey memory... Keith tells Mikey to call Campo at 130 in the morning becauee theyre locked out of the trailer. "CAMPO! We're pissed! Thanks a lot, ya key hoarding fairy!"

[@bubblesrcshed]

It was great to see Paul Sr and Mike together again. OCC was my favourite show growing up and also got me interested in motorcycles. Wish you both the very best on your upcoming projects. Take care and be well 🤙🫡🤙

[@stang93ful]

Man I miss these guys and the entire crew. This was one of the best reality shows ever. Hilarious, nuts, cool, sad and just wild. Had everything. I’m glad to see that everyone is still doing good. 👊🙏🏻

"Hey Mikey!...give him THE CLUB!!" That was hilarious...

[@Pauly_______]

The hummer scene definitely sticks out to me

Mikey has a very marketable skill for television. He could work with show writers to help make characters interesting and relatable. I hope he stays in the entertainment industry. He was always fun to watch.

[@Docstantinople]

You’re kidding right?!😂

[@mariag4677]

I adore Mikey! I remember the episode when he showed up at his Grandmother's house (I loved her too) with a Xmas tree and set it up for her! It made her so happy.....I got all teary! And yes....the Xmas tree you mentioned where he made all the paper ornaments and put Sr. on the top as the star! OMG 🤣🤣🤣
