Get Mikey and Vinnie on the podcast, Paul!

[@sdotter]

What he says ☝

[@tricycleguy2657]

Oh man, the giggling and scooter stories would be epic, great idea

[@herbsman05]

rick,cody and jason also! just to reminisce about the builds and all the fun they had then in the shop! :)

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

THIS

[@tigerwarsawband]

get them all on the podcast (with your dad) and build a bike. could be the makings of a show that might catch on.

[@johngodbout7341]

As a person who worked with his father, I identified with the show immediately.

[@BearsNCigars]

Same but thankfully we never got as bad as they did just arguing. Hopefully they have a good relationship now… That time you can tell they both hurt over all of it.

Want to tell you what the show and what you guys have done has ment for me. I broke my back in early 2000. Next to the hospital bed in Sweden they started to show you guys from the beginning. I had something to look forward everyday. One episode per day. And reruns. During the years I have seen all episodes a couple of times. I have had some trouble with depression and also there it has ment a lot to me. Listening to the show while I take long walks. Putting it on TV when I need some good vibes. Thank you. 🙂

[@JR-ho5qm]

Glad to hear you are walking. 👍🏻

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]

Glad our chaos could bring a little joy to you during such a hard time and great to hear you are walking again!

[@danelivelsberger1731]

Rachael still as beautiful as she was back in the show! Paul you are a lucky man!

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]

Right!?

Junior is looking more and more like his pop's as he gets older!

American chopper was my childhood. I adored and wanted to be a motorcycle builder because of it. So nostalgic and love this podcast

[@danelivelsberger1731]

Paul I think you really nailed how we as the fans saw y’all

[@charleslamont9610]

Yeah me and my wife miss you guys. Shows were truly groundbreaking and fun to watch

[@highlyfe600]

Always been a fan of the family and Rachel has been a great addition. I can wait to enjoy this new journey with them .

[@azer555]

Awesome, you guys. Thank you for sharing the great memories with us. Loved the good vibes on the channel and love how you honored your Father. Rachel, I am looking forward to meeting you and Hudson someday 😊 Paul, 0:00 you still owe me a t-shirt, btw lol. (You didn't have any on hand) I was a truck driver that pulled up one early afternoon while you were getting the new place/shop ready on Ward St. I'll will never forget how super chill you were to let me and my wife, and daughter at the time go into the shop and check out your projects and take a few photos with you. I still have the photos! You're a good man, Jr! 👋😊

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]

Come visit the new shop on LBI. Super family friendly area

[@eddiesica3649]

Good to see you both!

[@Robert-bt1bo]

Pauly I like how you explain everything to your wife when you first started working with your dad going back to remember having fun

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]

It was really fun to watch that episode and relive everything

[@g.k8311]

Les 3 premières saisons sont les meilleures !!! Plus de 20 ans !! Le temps passe vite !!

[@TexLive34]

This is fantastic. Do each episode and bring people on too!

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]

Would be fun to start at the beginning and rewatch them all

[@paulkaniuk8067]

This show has all the magic of ANYTHING in your past. It is certainly entertaining, and its evolution has incredible potential!

[@danfitzpatrick4112]

Spot on Jr. You are a very well educated person with a passion for life! Now get over to your Father's place and hang out with him. Life is too short.. That's what your speaking about in this Podcast. Fascinating Podcast by the way! Peace!

[@alkelly1591]

Great to see you all doing well. We need a bike build show on tv.

[@courtneesdad]

This is a great episode ❤️. Both of you are so genuine. You should get Vinnie and Rick to sit and chat. I absolutely loved your grandmother. She was so adorable. I was super sad when she passed away. Look forward to see what’s next for both of you 👍👍

[@HowToBeABusinessAnalyst]

Just finished watching all 12 seasons of American Chopper on Max, so I came here for more. 😁

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]

I need to find the pilot and catch up!

[@joebaileygl1500]

So glad to see you guys. Love seeing both of you. And I miss the Orange County choppers show.

[@metfan]

I grew up with you guys and the show, you are absolute legends! TV has never been the same and maybe never be the same without these shows. I think American Chopper was fundamental for Discovery/TLC at the time.

[@clintprice2123]

You guys make Bob Villa look bad! I cannot believe my kids were just about teens when that took place and I took them to the shop and are now parents themselves. Nice job Paul!

[@scottk8244]

Great stories, really hope you and Vinny do another project, I'm 46, loved the show, really hoping it happens

[@Bricktrainsgermany]

Servus from Germany, nice to see you again. :-)

[@mahamedqasim]

Paul you should make watchalong episodes

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]

Agreed! I smiled and laughed the entire time I watched

[@DeborahABeliever..WOODINVILLE]

We watched all episodes also So nice to see you all again 👍👏🌞

[@matthewhorner9216]

Great podcast. Love this format and reflecting back on the early years of OCC and American Chopper. My dad was in the auto industry with a body shop. He toyed with Choppers in the 60s following some popular movies. I worked my father for many years in business and cherish those years now that he passed away especially. We watched the show religiously and always talked about the amazing creations of OCC. I’m a few blocks away here on LBI and see the new showroom and pier in the windows on my walks every day.

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]

Stop in neighbor!

[@UnBoxLifeWithLori]

My ex-hubby and I watched every episode. ( You're about the same age now as Sr / Pops / Your dad was when you started filming ) Orange County Choppers - great real reality show.

[@justaskmike4602]

Hard to believe it was 2008… Crazy

[@DJVINNIE]

im binging the show right now! season 6 ep 1 the big fight - now the triumph bike in dads garage - love the show STILL!

[@robertdarby7197]

It's too bad you didn't open a shop in CA. I watched the shows. Glad to see you and Rachel together.

[@communitytube8378]

I miss when it use to take 2-3 episodes for a bike build

[@Coldgecko]

Just awesome, I was a fan at that time... Got me into riding along with The Long Way Round. I ended up riding from Florida to Argentina and from Florida to Thailand. You guys were always on my channel list back then. I also think you are super creative, mature and deserve a great future.

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]

Thanks buddy

[@dj1698]

What’s up Paul & Rachel!!!!

[@shawnsebikesandstuff15]

Thanks for doing this podcast I watch the show from episode 1 on OCC the dynamic between you and your father is very similar to my life helps me remember the past I had in my father and we would wash the show together some of the best memories I have thank you for that.

[@Nick-iw2hh]

I liked the conversation. I think you are and always were very well spoken. I would absolutely listen or watch a podcast where you rewatch and then talk about every episode of American Chopper with all the back stories explained etc etc. Like for so many rewatching American Chopper it takes me back to a special time of life. Just watching the show can trigger certain memories and feelings that may or may not have anything to do with the show. Sometimes I see something in the background on the show and it takes my memory to an event that may have happened in my life in those days. Its pretty crazy and thats why people will tune into this content. Your right shows like yours do not exist anymore, Tv does not exist anymore like we knew it when we grew up. American Chopper was probably the original reality show of its kind but I always say the true original reality show was The Real World New York on MTV back in like 93. After the first season everything after that isn't authentic , but anyway very best of luck to you.. Take care

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]

Def a trip down memory lane watching that first episode. It's probably been over 20 years since I last watched it!

[@paulkaniuk8067]

If you folks haven’t tuned into Bad Chad on KZbin, you should. Despite daily content, the formula is simple…about an hour of uninterrupted creativity…with the odd “non build” content. I know if you took something on, with a daily content aspect, I’d tune in daily! Cheering you on from Canada! ❤

[@jpup6006]

You don’t need TV. KZbin is the way.

[@radguitarist]

Great episode !! Thanks ! Huge fan from back in the day !

[@ginger13lee]

L❤VE You Both!!!!!!

[@SpAcEPizzA1345]

Discovery GO has both season 1 & 2 of American Chopper free to watch!

[@jaydegraide6205]

I have to say. I had a hard time watching after the episode where your dad and the guys dressed up a manikin that looked like you and put it on a bike and sent it into a ditch. To me he was telling you how he felt about you. You're a bigger man than me sir. I would have never filmed another second with that show after that. Miss you on TV.

[@blackrook1]

You are right. I'm sure Sr wishes he could take that one back.

[@davepelfrey3958]

​@@blackrook1, I would hope he would. 😢

[@shannonneale1560]

I still watch the reruns on HULU, and still love the show. The actual pilot episode was the Jet Bike. It's hard to find that episode on streaming. To this day... that bike is my favorite of all the builds. This podcast is great! 🙂

[@skatedurr]

i found the pilot episode online, it's sad it's so hard to find a classic

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]

I need to find it!

[@billybatts4061]

Really enjoyed that! It would be neat to get to know more about Rachel as far as her childhood and life before you guys met. And a new show sounds great I would love to see it!!

[@Impalabelair]

Good 👌 stories JR 👏 and wife. YOU ARE STILL MY BEST THEME BIKE 🏍 BUILDER.

[@Slimzyjoe]

First season were great. But once the authenticity went out of it, it just was never the same. The show was the best when the relationships mattered, when it was personal. Once it got too big, Jr loved the fame (which clearly still continues today) Sr loved the money and that authenticity went away. it can't ever come back. I hope the new show really showcases the personalities and relationships more than AC did when it ended.

[@RTANTIQUES]

Gr8 cast! I think you should just randomly facetime some of your old crew!!

[@nicholascollins3012]

I think it would be cool to rewatch the show with Paul jr I have all them on dvd still

[@WeepingWillow55]

I recently saw a clip of Senior just hounding Jr about his contract coming in late and it just exploded, it was the end of that Era with them working together, I think someone was in senior's ear to get after Jr,,really sad to see that,it changed my opinion about senior, nice to see Jr coming back 👍

You should get Jesse James on the show! That would be awesome!

[@vinniesavarese3913]

I stumbled upon American chopper a few months ago haven’t seen it since it was new, I think the first season was the best, when it was just the four our five of you guys building bikes in the basement of the steel shop.

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]

The good old days

[@TheStuport]

For me Paul, you completely nailed The Whole Series @ 3:45 when you were talking about missing that "Period Of Time" back then. I remember what I was doing back in the very first episodes of "American Chopper" and your show was absolutely a part of peoples lives too! For many in your Fan Base it was Must See TV! Still is too as I'm quite sure I'm not the only one who has gone back and binged watched seasons and even particular episodes! I can recall how much fun you all had away from the builds too as you were joking around with one another or pulling pranks or just sight seeing somewhere! For me ALL of you will be tattooed on my heart and soul! Cheers and MOO From COW-lumbus, Ohio

[@plainviewfarms6364]

I remember watching the 1st episode premiere…. You guys invented realty TV, and it’s never been the same since, because people love controversy…. And you you guys were real, unscripted, everyone could relate to. Today, everything is fake and scripted, and it’s just boring. American Chopper was 100% real, relatable, and everyone was on the edge of their seat wondering what was going to happen next. I hate the fact you and your dad had a falling out through the whole thing, and I hope that situation is still better, but I love and miss the show. You and Senior and Rick were my favorites

[@carlbyington5185]

Everything... So true, so true !!

[@eternity5448]

You got to have vinnie and mikey on your podcast

[@ortega2424]

I just watched that episode last night

Everyone doing pods jesus lol love this guy tho

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]

It would be fun to talk about that. We now live where she grew up in NJ.

@PaulJrDesignsOfficial glad to see yourdoing good. I subscribed lastnight. Hope to see more. Bring on vin and Mikey.

[@MWagner-kx6ud]

I like Rachel and I know she is trying to contribute to the podcast but she should let Paul talk more

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]

Right? Hard to get a word in with her around

[@kentuckybluegrassliving7718]

Howdy Paul Jr I went to bike week in Florida in 2004 I met your father and you at your booth bought hat and shirt got y’all’s autographs watch y’all go up on top of the trailer throwing out free merchandise/ met Indian Larry - thanks for the memories- you had a girlfreind with you I think your present wife.

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]

Those old bike weeks were crazy fun!

[@danswelding9058]

Binge watching A.C in the shop fabin’ up some iron gates!

[@rge623651]

Hey Paul.!! I'm still watching American Chopper on Max, mainly the first season... What are your thoughts on your Dad doing a Podcast now??? Will you ever do one with him, just to talk about the good ol days?? Mikey is doing a few with him... You should invite Vinnie to do a Podcast. Great to see you and Rachael!!! Do more Podcasts

[@blackrook1]

Good idear (lol).

[@davessparetime83]

Paul what about that little Chrome Plating shop that you guys used sometimes I think off Rt 46 maybe? I used to go by it all the time when I went to the Lexus Eastern Office in Parsippany for training I think the shop was Orange maybe thin from the front and had parking on both sides. Today people aren't riding those kind of bikes anymore. Theme bikes for show are always good.

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]

We used them for the Black Widow, think the guys name was JC

[@NWI_Steel]

Paul, you dont need tv! You already have a good start here with 60k subs. Grow your youtube channel and start doing "vlog" style videos!

[@davidwhite9792]

Ya gotta drop that pickleball paddle and get on over to wave hog and buy a surfboard. I can See your shop from my roof deck . Il stop by we can paddle out this weekend. Surf’s up.

[@jerryw2460]

Paul I would love to hear what you think about what Leno said about your bikes. Your dads take was hilarious.

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]

There's def a backstory to that. Maybe will have to talk about that on one of the episodes

[@carlbyington5185]

Btw... Hi from Redwood City,(Auto shop) few miles south of Golden Gate.

[@blackrook1]

Paul, it you have time you should follow Les Stroud's (Survivorman) lead and do a Director's Commentary (or similar) for select episodes. He watches each episode with us and provides commentary along the way. They are wildly popular.

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]

Would be fun to do!

[@Gumbro21]

Man, im on my 2nd rewatch on prime lol. I did notice 2nd time around, Rachael was 1st seen with Mikey in a race theme bike reveal. Is that when yall met? 😮

[@paulderouen8566]

Actually Survivor started in 2000. They were the GROUND BREAKING series. Looking forward to seeing the new projects on TV. When is this going to happen?

[@TheOriginalLugnuts]

The jet bike and the Cody project are not available and haven’t been for years and they are also not on the DVD that was released after the first few seasons

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]

I think those were considered the pilots and not part of the series. I had trouble finding them too

[@johngodbout7341]

Q: how many bikes did OCC build before the show started? When did your dad give you the go-ahead to be the lead builder?

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]

We had been building for almost 3 years by then

[@TheBrianRaglandChannel]

Hey Paul, where can I get one of the old school original PJD baseball cap? The one-size-fits-all with silver embroidery logo on a bright red hat. The hat was red. I love that hat so much. I had like three of them and I wore them all out. Been searching the internet for months and months trying to find it. Can you ever consider bringing that hat back? I think it would sell tons. That hat was so beloved. Thanks again, love you guys.

[@leov8127]

Where can I buy the hats and the shirts?

[@My6091]

I went to Joey's Pizza right near your place on vacation this Summer. Great pies and calzones. I can't get on board with the pineapple though...lol

[@shemp1515]

I bought every season from itunes and not every build is on those either. I always wondered why ?

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]

Not sure, I know the fist two were considered the pilot and not part of the series. I have to go through and see if I can find them all

[@b3tomm12]

The steak was not making you unhealthy

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]

No, it was all the fast food when we were on the road

I'd rather just see you doing normal stuff. Dont worry about the podcast, don't worry about producing segments to try to make them seem like the Discovery channel days. Just make off the cuff videos. Show us what your morning routine is, bring us along on a trip to an antique shop.

[@skatedurr]

ur dad drops a pod, now u! good week for occ fans

[@Johnsmusic416]

Wow I don’t agree, the fighting was terrible, Paul Sr was annoying and Paul Jr was the whole show. The bike building was what I tuned into see, the fighting was frustrating. Paul Sr should have realized that Paul Jr was the star and the show would not have suffered.

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]

It was what it was. Fighting was there long before cameras. It was hard to watch but relatable to some

So Junior will you have your brother Mikey and Vinny Corey

I'm wondering if his wife has done any more interviews with someone else than her hubbie and if he has anything more to talk about, rather than the black widow?

[@johnflameling2763]

I think the duration of your videos is hurting you. Between 10 and 15 minutes is a good length in my opinion for a KZbin video. Not too many people have the luxury of sitting down for a whole hour. This last video could’ve been split up in to like four separate videos to be honest. Some of your short videos have a lot of views. Something to think about.

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]

Agreed! We plan to break the longer ones up in the future

[@petehoyle800]

Early episodes were the best, as these shows go on they get well over produced, constantly showing repeated bits after breaks! Eco the same as Gordon Ramsey kitchen nightmares. How is your relationship with your dad and Mikey now?

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]

Everyone is getting along!

[@davidthorne4491]

What about the best moment when u met ur furture wife

[@PaulJrDesignsOfficial]
