It would seem like the first one of my friends to make it to the tube (in *front* of the camera ... I've had friends whose names I've spotted in the credits already [and to the exclusion of *news* cameras, as I've determined that that doesn't count in relation to today's post]) ... is, as he's listed on the six episode History Channel series named 'Leepu and Pitbull', Brian the mechanic. (That's Brian on the left, leaning on the roof of the car.)
Of course, two decades ago when the bunch of us were hanging out at a Fourth of July party, or around a campfire at someone's cabin, or all together on a day trip to Six Flags in NJ (WANT MORE ... NEED MORE!), he was just "Big Westy". And now here he is amidst a study of the culture clash between a Bangladeshi design savant and those with whom he comes into contact that work out of the Long Island garage where cars get custom made.
What can I say ... good on ya, Brian W! And I'm expecting the Wikipedia "famous people from Lebanon PA" page to be updated (that is, so long as there's a second season)!
