The History Channel show has been plummeting in viewership as people have tuned Mike out.
It looks like the fall is starting to get to the 59-year-old, as he revealed in his latest Instagram post.
Mike snapped a selfie outdoors with motorcycle daredevil and friend “Handsome” Charlie Ransom.
The biker bros. looked like twins as they stood next to each other.
Each had gray, parted long hair and matching gray beards and mustaches.
Neither smiled for the camera, as Charlie kept his hands at his waist.
“The infamous @handsomecharlieransom and I sending everyone some morning grumpy love,” Mike shared in the caption, before trying to sound a bit more optimistic. “Seize the day people!!”

Ratings for the current season of American Pickers have been as twisty as the open road.

After kicking off March with nearly one million viewers, the following week’s episode suffered a drastic nosedive, drawing in merely 785,000 viewers.
That’s a 151,000 viewer decrease.
Mike’s concern can be seen in his increased publicity for the series.
He even publicly begged fans to tune in amid the ratings drop.
Mike took to Instagram to share a carousel post of screen grabs from a recent episode.
The host captioned his post, “Last call to watch tonight’s episode of American Pickers on the History Channel! Don’t miss the train at 9/8c!”

FANS ARE FRANK
Not many new viewers have picked American Pickers since beloved host Frank Fritz left the show in 2021.
He was replaced by Mike’s brother, Robbie, and friend, Jersey Jon, who was added to the full-time cast this season.
Despite the recent changes, fans have been slamming Season 25 as “boring.”
One fan posted about the recent episodes and commented, “Boring as always… so boring… same crap, different episode.”
Another disappointed fan shared, “Robbie talks like he has a say… he should be cutting back lawns.”
Yet a third viewer slammed, “[Laughing my a** off] I agree 100% with you, the guy is freaking boring.”
