Is Paul teutul sr and Paul jr back together?
No they havent split...it is all part of TLC's sad attempt at
boosting lagging ratings. Nice try. I disagree, you're just an OCC
HATER, you join the ranks of many other OCC HATERS! But that's okay
because the true OCC fans way outweigh the haters. As a true fan,
allow me to improve this answer. The economy: Yes, the economy
world-wide is impacting upon every business! OCC is not immune to
this fact of life. Does it seem like the economical downfall is the
sole reason for the Teutul Dad/Son split? No, I honestly do not
think this is so. And I'll tell you why because I have been
following this show since the beginning. Okay, Paul Sr. and Paul
Jr. of OCC have another searing issue beating down upon them every
waking day aside from the ailing economy. Here's what it is. Age!
Yes, I said 'age'. Paul Sr. is approaching his actual 'Senior'
years as a 'Senior Citizen' and this fact cannot be denied. Paul
Sr. is a man of immense pride and while many of us OCC fans thought
we'd see the day where dad passed the torch off to Paul Jr. I
personally feel that, again, Paul Sr.'s pride may be much more
comfortable with a split rather than a passing of the torch. Hey,
it's a fact of life and a fact of personality! Paul Jr. is not the
young, cute son of the hard-working dad who arose from nothing and
built up an empire. No, Paul Jr. I would guess is in his thirtee's
now and this is an age bracket that simply does not tolerate a
'mom' or 'dad' figure in your life on any kind of daily basis....
It's just not healthy for a grown man to be working beneath his dad
when he is in his thirtees. Other factors: Paul Jr. was 'slacking'
alot and this has, again, to do with the lack of autonomy he has
that a guy who 'owns his own business' does not experience. When
you go to work to put food on your own table and feed your family,
that is a huge difference from going to work at your daddy's
business! Pretty clear when you see things from this point of view.
It's about time (factor): It is about time, every real fan of this
GREAT SHOW has always feared that one day these two lovable men
would split up, but you know what when I saw this happen, I myself,
had a sigh of relief and it also struck a cord of interest within
me. Not like when Vin and Cody left because when that went down you
simply didn't either of the two again, sadly. But I think Discovery
Channel will have a vested interest to follow both Father and Son
in this tough economy and to see how they each fair off out here in
a very difficult situation financially where they both, somehow,
must sell a lot of motorcycles to an otherwise very frugal if not
outright broke audience. Challenge: Yes, it's a challege that is
for sure and I think I will be very interested to see every show
and follow the progress and struggles that, now, two powerful and
separate entities will be putting forth for all of us fans.
Creativity and gifts and talents will all have to shine from this
point onwards and who knows maybe Paul Sr. and/or Paul Jr. will
lead a path for the whole world to follow.. a path of love, hard
work, and loyalty to all their fans over the years. I can't wait to
go up to the new shop (it's huge) and show the Tuetul's my true
love of their show and all their success by spending some of my
money by buying their apparel and just showing my overall support
to them. I love you guys a whole lot and I'm proud in every way to
say that. Thanks so much for every single show guys and maybe their
be so many, many more to come. Your fan, Gerard Haughey
