I enjoyed watching this dude and his family for years… glad he’s still doing alright

[@NikNak3841]

Agree, I never liked all the drama. I really enjoy seeing Sr and Mikey having fun.

[@star2be83]

Me too man it really was fun to watch I loved it

[@NikNak3841]

I loved the ending when Sr walked away. It reminded of the "Drop the mic on the floor and walk away, I've made my point." :) hilarious

[@fjccommish]

You watched a scripted show.

[@petergouldrup4317]

Again you surprise me. I appreciate you being humble and honest. Glad you have an opportunity to show people you’re not just what was seen on tv but a real person trying to handle your shit.

[@storm-aircorporation6540]

Paul, thank for putting this out. Very enlightening and I wish your whole family the very best. Merry Christmas and wishing you a great 2025 and beyond. I'm retiring when I reach the end.

[@charlesbolin7249]

Again, good to see you back in the spotlight, even better than before, under your own terms. Looking forward to seeing what happens and wishing you the best.

[@PaulSrUnchained]

Thanks, man!

[@ClintHornsby]

Great to hear you speaking from the heart big fella. Go easy on yourself, this feels like a new page for you guys. Following and liked and looking forward to seeing what's next for the legendary Paul Snr!!! 💪😎👌

[@corneliusimcvay5321]

I SALUTE YOU, SIR! I ENJOYED YOUR TV. SHOW FROM THE BEGINNING TO END, GLAD YOU ARE STILL BUILDING AND PUTTING OUT THOSE BEAUTIFUL BIKE.

[@FelipeRubio85]

Thanks for the interview Paul Sr. I really enjoyed watching OCC back in the day it was one of my favorite shows. I also really enjoy watching this new show, thanks for being yourself looking forward to seeing the videos keep up the good work.

[@kickstart118]

Thanks for slowing down time when life is way too fast! 🏍️

[@dalesmith4985]

Yeah he's doing well for a man of 75 years old

[@wolfgear098]

Goes to show that age is a number not a mindset

[@steveallen5087]

Sr keep on keepin on! Age gives grace to those that recognize their earlier errors in judgment and adjust to find the beauty of peace. 🤟💐

[@PaulSrUnchained]

Thanks! 🙏

[@Tubpuncherproductions]

Me and my Pop are from Yonkers and watched American Chopper together. We appreciate ya Sr!

[@cg741graf5]

This popped up and boy great to see that your passion can continue living the life you are comfortable in, Cheers to good health and long rides.

[@bradleyswaney6100]

Paul, you could tell it was tough at times back then. You brought us so many smiles, brother. God bless you and your family. ❤

[@jasonblevins8280]

Thank you Paul Sr this interview was something I always wanted to see. I grew up watching your show…. My father and I hardly ever seen eye to eye on anything. But we always watched American Chopper together… RIP Dad I love you and will see you again one day.

[@NikNak3841]

@jasonblevins8280 loved it too. I also like how when he was done, he did the "drop the mic on the floor and walk away." Haha, I busted out with laughter.

[@pookyclown1111]

Although I think some of his anger came from the show, I still thought he treated his son so bad.

[@mannyruiz1954]

That was the only thing that really bothered me, the way he treated Jr. It's not for me to judge Sr. but damn, to see a fucked up father/son relationship like that being aired out like that was sad.

[@seth3054]

Sr has a lot of drive.... that's why he stays so young.....props out to him

[@grigorirasputin996]

Ummm trt and stem cells bro

[@Luis-pz6ni]

Great to know your doing good senior, your a good fella 👍.

[@TowGoat]

🤝 you touched millions of our lives with the show your family helped so many have family night eating popcorn 🍿 watching your family!

[@andrewgautreau6962]

I’ve enjoyed watching since the 1st show y’all inspire me. I even got OCC tattooed on my back maybe one day soonI can come down to Florida and actually shake your hand and eat at your restaurant much love and respect from Louisiana

[@shanewright6958]

What a great interview 👍👍

[@Stevop79400]

Loved the old show, even JR. Thank you for caring about animals. More of us should. They are so good to us.

[@ericmcelroy6970]

Always loved this guy and what he’s accomplished in life. Much respect.

[@donaldstiles397]

We all love ya big Paul,happy for you and your more relaxed life.

[@rodneyadamsjr309]

Im a fairly recent subscriber and i wanna say, i enjoy sr's channel and content. Hes correct, the tv show made him look like a "bad guy". You can tell that he's actually a very humble, good hearted person. I wish him all the success in his endeavors. Thanks for the years of your and your families lives that yall shared with the world

[@petarbajai]

As a father it is understandable that you do not get along with everyone in the family. But because of a tv show and all the tensions that have come from it, you can no longer get along with some family members, that hurts. Thank you for sharing your story, it is difficult to tell this and understandable.

[@clintprice2123]

I enjoyed the show and all the members of the family and the others working there. Senior puts a lot of thought into his answers and he comes across as very sincere.

[@usaaircraft]

I respect you paul Sr.

[@terryscanlon56]

Paul, thank you for being you, have enjoyed watching your shows from the beginning

[@wildsidegarage]

Raw and honest, love it! Kick ass Sr🤙

[@mikehill33]

Good to see you alive and sober Paul Sr.!

[@swedenfrommycam]

Nice to see you doing well!!

[@PaulSrUnchained]

Hey, thanks!

[@ProbeGT2]

Everyone remember when they were wrecking cars for fun on the show? Those were also the good times.

[@lnfinitry]

Oh yea when sr and jr were leaving late and the both left in a hurry and hit each other. Classic

[@billguyer5211]

You are an inspiration sir. I have subscribed to you channel and look forward to coming to Florida to see you all.

[@williamloeber6253]

Great video. Thank you for your honesty and sharing. Keep it up. 👍🇺🇸

[@naymyo5503]

Every time when Sr mentions about Mikey his face lights up and smiles, every single time. 😊

[@chrisno420]

Great interview SR!

[@terryscanlon56]

I have the utmost respect for PAUL Sr. He is a self made man ! 😎💪

[@hawkeyepierce3199]

One of the Goats! 🙏 good times watching yinz with my old man growing up

[@christophergolding4823]

We all love and support your whole family especially the you Paul

[@kendog1000x]

I always enjoyed the old show, Paul. You're a good man. Keep savin' the animals! Thanks!

[@rickbuchanan5762]

It was good to see you again Senior. Best wishes to you and your family.

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

I've always liked the show. Good luck Paul Sr.!

[@tonyheymunkets]

I've been watching shade tree surgeon for years now and I know who bert is He is an awesome dude I'm glad you guys hooked up I'm just glad to see you I love watching your channel I loved your show back in the day it was the **** I hope we can build this channel'cause I know there's millions of people out there that care about you and grew up watching you god bless my friend

[@jetprime7686]

Hay Paul Sr keep being you it is always nice to see you happy. I have some favourite American choppers. And I hope you have A nice Christmas with your family.

[@jimmulderig743]

Awesome 👍

[@gregorymcnear6474]

You have worked hard and deserve success, animals are the best companions and keep you sane, they accept you as you are.❤

[@gflight295]

Sad how sr cannot give credit to Jr how he played a major roll at the beginning with his designs. All the interview Sr does you can tell they are not allowed to ask questions about Jr or hint his contributions to the occ biz. Sr never gives Jr any credit. He talks about how others made him look bad. You did it to yourself.

[@2.65tvs2]

Thanks Sr!

[@dirtyliving480]

Love Paul, the restaurant is great and has a lot of good bands play there too

[@Rick-O-Shay60]

When it comes down to it in life, you realise, you just want to be happy. No drama, no pressures. There will decisions you make that if you could do over, you would. Hopefully you succeed to accomplish the goals set in life, and those accomplishments have made a positive impact in the world. Please reach out, and make it a priority to mend your relationship with your son, he is your son, he's a good man that you should be proud of. Any differences between the two of you are petty, and would be a shame if not realised in comparison as the sanctity of family. All the best, and continued success in life Paul.

[@DarrellFLopes]

He's a good man and a good driving force to get things done I'm happy for him i like the ranch God Bless

[@briantime1]

American Chopper was my FAVORITE show back in the day!

[@rmfalco6288]

I am glad for this interview. I read a lot of bad stuff about this guy. However it is obvious that many scenes were scripted for drama. Many however were under the illusion that all that was real. This needs to be shared until it gets viral.

[@tonyheymunkets]

I love you bro I watch all your shows it's good to see you and I'm glad you got a youtube channel Being able to see you again makes me happy you're cool dude

[@Ganstatrippin]

Looks like another autobiography is due sometime , Ride of a life time is a very good read also . Spinning the wheels of a rental and visiting Scotland , re-enacting Brave heart . Legend in the making .

[@jessijamesguitars7502]

Your a good man Paul, always best to be yourself 👍👍

[@Joh117John]

We love You Senior

[@marine-jv1pq]

Keep up the great content Sr.! Hope to run into you in town....

[@coreylittleton7260]

Good to See the Old Man Still At It. LOL....He reminds me ALOT of my Old Man. We would fight Just like Sr. And Jr....But I gotta give my Father Credit. I wouldn't be the man I am Without Him

[@alexjohnson6461]

Great interview

[@deankay4434]

Paul Sr. I watched the show at the beginning as you started welding pipe handrails for business and commercial properties but always enjoyed the bikes. I hated when that point in my life took me on the road with teaching, seminars and 5 warehouses after 38+ years as a dealership tech with an ASE Master certification in 1978. Seems like a few months ago, but elbows hurt and job in the newspaper wanted an auto instructor, so emailed a resume that weekend. Forgot about it until a morning phone call ask me to fax ASE Master Card, Drivers license and asked me if I could teach on a high-end level. Well, Datsun had EFI in 1976 and I started in 77. I also knew how to use a gas analyzer so after an instructor at UTI, I had to support my family as they paid $12k a year. I could make that mowing yards, crap money but back surgery ain’t fun and recovery in 87 wasn’t easy. I had the hardest time mopping my floor & getting lights over the bench as the younger service mgr acted like he paid for it. I had to buy it, install it and turn in receipts to be reimbursed at a dealer. My new instructor job turned out to be a contract labor for Delco. That turned into 7 years of do this, go there, take care of this, repeat! 246 days average in a hotel is not fun as the desk gal called me by my first name as I walked in! What? Family is family! I didn’t get one growing up just a step-dad whose father bought land at $4 per acre in 1956 to start farming. After all, you go to a bank, barrow money to by implements, tractor and seed! Bam! Farmer… Nope! More to it as it takes long hours of work and some knowledge. I was self taught as I welded, fixed carbs, ask questions at a shop in town, 3 miles away, city sold parts but that was 25 mile further. I apprenticed at a two man shop. I cut my teeth on automatics, tuned, electrical and much more. Family is important but I found out at 14 I was adopted and didn’t belong. Baloney sandwich, cereal, milk cow at 5AM, throw hay, Christmas got me a belt buckle or pocket knife, even a Kennedy half dollar after I watched him get shot live on tv with 1 of 2 channels if rabbit ears worked. The phone was wood with crank handle on a party line. It rang, 5 neighbors on the same line could answer! The honor system expected you to hang up if not you call. Pencil, no pen. Cool aid or soda, what is that? Meat sold in a store not in white wax paper w/name on it, never saw it! Go to the city? What for? Never did. Play time was a 10 X 10 sandbox with green Army men for $0.50 cents. I didn’t get anything that I didn’t earn, mowing, hay, bearding cattle on a horse, plowing for a neighbor paid $1 per hour. Done…😅

[@Gmanautonut]

Great interview. Just hope him and paul jr can mend better before its too late

[@johnwatson9518]

Thanks for years of great biker entertainment.

[@candymintz]

Integrity is so refreshing, great interview,

[@TheSkinnyWaterDude]

Not that you really went anywhere! Welcome back Paul!🇺🇸❤️😎

[@jre8339]

hes a nice guy

[@boomerbassmeme]

Dropped a tree on her car? You old smoothie! 🤣 Glad to see you happier and living more of a chill life! 😊🙏

[@johnpinkerton772]

Welcome to Florida. I look forward to checking out your new restaurant and memorabilia display.

[@worthyland4104]

Respect to you Sir, thank you for your contribution to custom harley culture. Merry Christmas to you and your family ✌ enjoying watching your KZbin content, the history, building and hanging with Mikey

[@simonbarry1886]

Excellent ❤

[@sprintcarsandguitars959]

mikey has a great sense of humor!

[@MegaPowers719]

I appreciate Paul Sr honestly but at the same time some things never change. As a father, you never call one of your kids “special”over the others. In so many words, he just told the whole world that Mikey is special and Paul is not. I think Paul Sr has rocks for brains. That’s terrible for a father to say. And stop blaming producers for your mess. You chose to walk around like tough guy and constantly argue with your kids on TV. You, Paul Sr., made the deal with the devil and got your reward. No amount of money is worth losing your kids love and respect. You were supposed to be the bigger man instead your were just the bigger bully. It’s obvious that you’re not a humble enough person to make things right and that’s very sad. Hopefully people learn what not to do as a father from Paul Sr.

[@wolfpackrc]

Paul I hope you have all the best man. Enjoy yourself and I hope the family stuff gets better bud. Can't wait to see you beat the beards and bikes people with a awesome build.

[@jakeoreilly9627]

proud of you Paul

[@VCthaGOATdunker]

I always believed deep down he is a good man. Many people hate on him because of what they saw him do and say on tv, and he has made mistakes in his life but I never heard him doing terrible things or having trouble with law enforcement or things of that nature. Hope he continues to do well.

[@davidpeters3846]

Sounds like Paul was being real honest and it would be so easy to get caught up in all that crap

[@davidrobinson2578]

I lived in upstate for a little while in 2004, I worked for a steel erector and I hung some structural for Orange County Iron Works. It was pretty cool to get to see the huge shop that they had.

[@davidrobinson2578]

I was also really inspired to learn how to TIG weld thin walled tubing. I realized it was time to hang up my spud wrench, and concentrate on making pretty dime stacks. I remember looking at some of the stuff that was made in that shop, and I was amazed

[@PaulSrUnchained]

Right on!

[@johnwilkes8234]

You nailed it sr the food best in town 💪

[@CCRIDER0712]

About time we heard your side of the story, took a big man to do it publicly

[@jamesbaldus1620]

Sr. love this format way better than the network show.

[@AllenKranawettrr]

He looks happy that's what's important

[@garynewman2846]

Miss you man. Best wishes.

[@jeremyc9229]

I respect you, always have. I am your son’s age. I get it, all of it! My dad and I did similar things.

[@Arfabiscuit]

OCC was a great show

[@indatubesurfer]

Love you Paul!! Ur the man!

[@Roctwn16]

A true bike builder legend.

[@Wraith26]

Paul Sr has gotten older and much wiser. Understanding how family is much more important than any money in the world is truly growth.

[@dj1698]

PAUL SR!!!

[@irishguyjg_2ndchancerecovery]

You're so loved Senior. I'm an obnoxious fan. Seen everything you've done and been aired in and love your presence, especially after you've mellowed out quite a bit. Much respect from Minnesota 🍀

[@Junioronomy]

I want the show from the beginning and I liked the family dynamic mostly but dislike the conflicts, it saddens me to know Hollywood would create drama and destroy families, i wish them nothing but the best and hope their relationships get stronger, it’s never too late

[@MattRiddell]

Awesome video

[@mikekosar6135]

OUTSTANDING..PAULIE…😎

[@arth.4196]

So phony. He has extreme anger towards his son.

[@simpleman9449]

You and Jessie I grew up with! Glad you’re back and you can teach some wisdom! I loved occ but it’s not worth family and real relationships!

[@gagopalenri]

If you can remove the automatic translation that would be great. I like to hear Paul Sr's original voice, thank you!

[@Monty-bi6mf]

When is the build off ?

[@TheBlackSheep321]

Animal rescue is an indication of real kindness and compassion

[@troymiller1287]

Pretty cool hearing from this guy lately

[@kennethhowell1272]

Wealth and public exposure is NEVER a good exchange for family dynamics. We as a society have become accustomed to the fractured family, rather than the closeness once found in the family unit. I'm glad that Paul Sr now has different priorities and hope that the family dynamics can move beyond their stormy show.

[@rphntw1n]

Thanks for sharing with us, Paul. Just remember, behind that camera is a ton of people that love the heck outta you and everything you do.

[@davidgable9830]

Merry Christmas Paul

[@DavesWorld76]

I grew up watching this man on the discovery channel. Although I don't make bikes I certainly appreciate the quality work Paul Sr has done over the years. Awesome!

[@ArloPEAR]

After what he did to his son. He's done to me. Total jerk
