Why Mike Started Filming
For most of his life, Mike has been a picker. Yet, it never really occurred to him that he should record his ventures. That is until one specific afternoon with friends just after he returned from a special pick on the East coast. All of his friends loved seeing his items and hearing all the stories about each find. At that moment, a friend told him he should film his ventures. Wolfe told Acreage Life, “I’d put the camera on a tripod in the middle of a gravel road and started talking into the camera. [Laughs] It’s funny to look back on that, but I ended up with hours of tapes.”

Recycle Everything, Even the Theme Song
Most of the finds that Mike and Frank bring back get recycled or restored for resale. Besides the picks, the American Pickers theme song is actually recycled in its own way too! American Pickers‘ has a song by the Reckless Sons. Actually, Jingle Punks, a music licensing company, sampled the group’s song to turn it into the show’s theme song.
