“Deadliest Catch” co-star at West Seattle Thriftway this weekend

Have to confess we haven’t seen so much as a single entire episode of “Deadliest Catch,” so we’re not too sure how big a role this guy plays – but we did see the rock-star reception another DC star got in the Seafair Torchlight Parade, so we’re thinking fans might be interested to hear that “Captain Phil” will be at West Seattle Thriftway this Sunday, pitching his own brand of coffee — “Deadliest Brew” — and signing autographs. 11 am-1 pm. P.S. Our friends at MyBallard.com mentioned over the weekend that the Nordic Heritage Museum‘s auctioning (bid now!) a chance to hang out with the crew up in Dutch Harbor, Alaska (the blurb includes the “Deadliest Catch” boat’s current local whereabouts).

Phil’s boat is one of the primary characters in the show. Will be good to hear how his health is.

Awesome! I’m going to be there for sure. Deadlist Catch is one of my FAV shows!

Maybe West Seattle’s new star Blayne could show up too and make the event crabolicious…….

WoooHooo! Captain Phil is cool. The fact that he is out doing these events (he was at Fado a few months back) hopefully indicates that his health is doing well. I definitely need to plan on attending this.

for those of us who don’t watch “Deadliest Catch”, could someone who does please tell us some background re “hopefully indicates that his health is doing well”

He had to be hospitalized mid-catch last season, and it appears he has some pretty bad issues going on with his heart, possibly lungs too?

I saw the episode, but it was waaaaaaay past my bedtime, so it is sort of a fog as faer as the details go.

He is a cool guy and tough as nails, with a sensitive side (he has 2 adult son’s that are on his bopat with him).

Thanks for the heads up! One of my favorites TV shows too.

Phil was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism that passed through his heart while at sea and settled in his lungs (as last reported on the show a few months ago anyway). Big fans at our house and we’ll be there Saturday for sure!
