Today is Mikey Teutul's birthday, and I thought I'd share a few thoughts about him. For those of you who have always wondered if the show was really that „real“: Yes, it was! I was very lucky to be there live for some of the filming and I can confirm - there was no script. The emotions often just ran away with them.

I have experienced scenes where there was no camera and total chaos broke out. But that's what makes them special - they just are who they are. What you don't always realize in the show, however, is how warm everyone can be, and Mikey in particular. Maybe that's one of the reasons why he has so many fans who appreciate him for the way he is.
