On the latest episode of TLC’s “American Chopper”, on June 11, 2009 the Teutul’s visit the Gosselin home to meet the family and obtain some ideas for Jon Gosselin’s new chopper. Jon commissions the building of a custom motorcycle for himself and he even made a trip out to New York, to the OCC shop to help with the build. Kate acquired an appealing custom pink Vespa for herself courtesy of the Teutul’s.
“It’s an unlikely pairing,” admitted Paul Teutul Sr. of "American Chopper." The Gosselins' program “is not my kind of show … but I can honestly say I never gave it the opportunity to really watch it."
As Jon sat down with Paul Sr. and Paul Jr. to discuss the details of his new bike, Kate found a new companion in Mikey, help with the kids, in the form of a ventriloquist act (Charlie).
Teutul said, “the experience was much different than I expected. For starters, the kids were well-behaved and Kate wasn't bothered by the motorcycle crowd.”
“I thought she would be more intimidated," Teutul said. "When I got down there, she came out and sat down and I sat next to her. We threw blows a little bit. And in a matter of minutes, we were like old friends. I had the chance to spend most of the day with her; she even got on the bike with me.”
Paul Jr. and Mikey made a return visit to the Gosselin house to spend more time with the kids doing an art project, eating a picnic lunch, and helping Jon with move some logs to make a trail for the kids.

Jon then drove to Orange County, home to the Teutul’s shop to help with the build of his bike. After going over concepts for the paint job and picking an eight ball with a pair of dice, Jon and the Teutul’s went for a ride on the choppers. To complete the “guys” day they went to a virtual firing range and then back to Paul Sr.’s house for a barbeque.
In a witty comment, Jon stated, “yeah I think I m going to trade shows, like after season five, I’ll just do season six with OCC, we can send Mikey to replace me, apparently I don’t do anything and neither does he.” Jon then went on to state, “I like hanging out with the guys cause I have few male friends .....as we all know.” Seemingly referring to the allegations of being seen out with women other than Kate.
The following day Mikey surprised Jon with a wake up call at his hotel. The pair then went over to the shop and met up with the rest of the OCC gang to help with his bike. Paul and Jon bantered back and forth, with Paul Sr. treating Jon like one of his own crew. Jon then had to call it a day to pick up the kids at school.
The episode ended with Kate gaining a new partner to go to the spa with, Mikey. Who received a hair wash, comb and a pedicure. During the pedicure Mikey jokingly asked for an “Us Weekly”, a magazine which Jon and Kate have been featured on the cover over the past few months.
