The family business became the basis for the American Chopper series.

Teutul's role as part of the TV shows was to provide comic relief.

In December 2009 it was revealed on American Chopper that Michael Teutul had checked himself into a rehabilitation center to overcome an alcohol addiction.

Paul Sr. stated that Michael had many opportunities to be successful at OCC but never followed through on them.

In 2011 Teutul was attempting to market a line of gourmet pasta sauces under the moniker FarQueue Products, LLC.
