Picking definitely isn't as easy as Mike Wolfe makes it look on "American Pickers." On the show, we see all the wheeling and dealing that goes into scoring a great item, but we don't see too much of what it takes to get to those moments. It's not just digging through piles of old junk in someone's attic or rotting barn. Finding something special involves getting up at four in the morning, driving across the country, and repeating the whole process day after day collecting enough antiques to keep a store up and running.
It's easy to imagine that of the Wolfe brothers, Mike has the most get-up-and-go energy since "American Pickers" started out in 2010 with him at the helm. To hear him tell it, though, Mike has a hard time keeping up with his younger brother Robbie. "He's always wearing me out," Wolfe said in an interview with Vegas Film Critic, adding, "He's always on a pick, or he's at a soccer game, or he's running another business that he has ... he's got way more energy than I do."
Robbie has brought his energy to the show plenty of times before but now, as co-host, he has an opportunity to supercharge everything that "American Pickers" does, and he doesn't appear to be wasting any time.
