Great interview. Watching Parker over the past years has been a pleasure. Love his Parents, and miss seeing those kind eyes, reflectiveness, and wisdom of Grandpa. Parker, you are truly blessed. Thanks for sharing a part of your life with friends you don't even know you have.
you dont know shit about his grandpa. parker has found more gold then his grandpa did his whole life. his grandpa even said that in a episode. WOW i never found that much my whole life. when parker showed him the jars full.
The comments are funny 😂 Parker is only 23 and he has a lot of pressure on him, spend half a million just on fuel any of you without the guarantee of getting it back and see how nice you would be 😂
The end of the interview cracked me up, when Dan Bova pulls out his gold and says: so what do you think I could trade this for. Parker: I don't know a joint.
Our family has been watching Gold Rush from the very beginning. Our favorite part of watching the show has been watching Parker grow up into the man he is today. Best of luck Parker!
Loads of people give Parker hassle but he has proven everyone wrong, he has absolutely killed all competition on the show and at such a young age. He is a gold mining legend in the making and who knows what he will achieve in years to come.
I think I started watching Gold Rush in Parker's second season running his own operation in the Yukon. I didn't think much of him at first he was young with very little experience managing people and it really showed, he was just plain nasty to everyone. He's really grown in his role since then and I do truly have a lot of respect for him as a boss now. If I ever got the chance to go up there and gold mine I would want to be on Parker's crew!
This was the best interview with Parker I have ever seen. I love that he was able to get past the routine questions he always gets and is able to show some of Parker the man. We were able to see a bit more of who he is and what drives him ( other than gold and money) . Listening to him actually talk of his strengths and weaknesses and laugh at himself and compliment others showed a different side than what us viewers normally get to see. All in all, seeing him smile and laugh and be kind was wonderful. Makes me want to meet him and get to know the real guy not the businessman.
Parker is a good kid. Granted he needs to work on his humane resources skills. He's ambitious and a risk taker. As an x gold miner as he states in this video, lots of money goes out to cover costs of getting to the gold. Kudos to Parker and continued success.
Parker's grandfather was a good man. He knew how to deal with people. Parker should replay his grandfather's advice over and over in his mind. "That", would help him immensely.
Hey not fucking working at wal mart lol!!! That's how they speak in camps. It's just ur answering to a 23 yr old what makes it tough!! Human skills, k guys it 4am. Right to left, how does everyone feel, lmao!!!
I fully rebuilt and restored a 1973 JD350 bulldozer a few years ago,every nut and bolt,sandblasted and painted ever part myself. I cant even imagine doing it to a CAT D9 or D10.
That is ambitious. Did you use it afterward, or is it for show? I'll bet they won't do a restoration quality rebuild on his, as it will just get used and broken again, and they hopefully have many people to work on it. I know what you mean though, as just doing a partial restore or resto-mod on a small machine or vehicle can be quite a job.
CGT80 It should have been saved for shows. I did this project back in 2002-03. The owner used it occasionally so it's not perfect anymore. I think it has sat in a garage for the last few years and the tracks are stiffened up from not moving. If it was mine it would still look new :)
There are some great time lapse videos on here of full overhauls for D-11 or the others...Very cool and MONSTERS! th-cam.com/video/uH6YfP5oWgs/w-d-xo.html
Gold Rush is more a glammer of who has the biggest and best toys to play in the mud with..Gold Mining in the real world doesn't cost 7 million a year to operate..The guys on Yukon Gold are realists and do it with old machines and dont even bother to try and spend more then they could possibly make..If you get a chance and haven't watched Yukon Gold I recommend it..They actually show the steps of making Gold and it running through the wash plant and isn't about the Drama..
I still find it hilarious that Todd went up there and thought he could treat Parker like some little kid and childishly make fun of him in that first season only to get his ass handed to him again and again until he was ruined mentally and financially.
Don't forget he also said "I love you Parker". They were a team. Grandpa and parker had something that many of us don't have and something we all could learn from.
It has been satisfying to me to spend an hour a week watching Parker grow up. Face it. Its entertainment and so much more goes on plus created drama - not so much in the busiest camps - to make a product that isn't a swimsuit calendar of Todd. His success follows a familiar formula. Be knowledgeable. Surround yourself with good people. Hold yourself responsible. Parker grew up in a business oriented family. To his credit he kept with it. Having the good fortune of a production crew on site for a couple of summers was a mutual anf unforseen benefit. His relationship with John was more precious than anything all the crews have harvested the entire run of the show. Tony Beets taught Parker the realities of mining the first month Parker was in the Klondike. Tony had to have seen some quality in Parker or he would not have given him the time of day. Tony flat gets shit done. Its, as we are told, developed into an adversarial relationship. Now they're neighbors. Tony is a smart guy. He has used Parker to mine ground that he knew was going to be less profitable, plus charge him a premium to do it and using that income to finance what he likely has coveted for years. He pushed Parker until he got to where his operation produced enough to turn a profit. As neighbors though, they really are only competing with themselves. I hope upcoming seasons reveal not only realities of business but how neighbors' relationships are on the edge of civilation and relate to life on the frontier. Someday they are going to need each other.
It makes sense why Tony Beets uses dredges. It's more efficient from an overhead cost perspective. Can't imagine what the fuel costs are to run a bunch of excavators, bulldozers, water pumps, and rock trucks.
Parker wouldn't be around after the first year if it wasn't for Tony..Tony knows the value of his claims and does religious testing and knows what is in the ground he gave to Parker..Parker should worship the ground Tony made him rich with and should forever kiss Tony's ass..any miner would give his left nut to get the deal Parker had..Think he's a puke for making Tony look bad!..
IMO your all wrong, A lot of the footage is for entertainment purposes, made obvious when you watch any clips from the Hoffman crew. IMO Parker and Tony have a very good relationship, not only has Parker made Parker millions, Parker made Tony millions. You just have to watch the show like a soap opera and enjoy it for what it is, are the breakdowns fake? no is the drama between most people fake? most likely! i love the show either way!
Its a TV SHOW... Its made that way on purpose. The rivalry between them is a good thing. Yes tony tests his ground, but even drill tests are not 100% accurate he even said that himself. They give a general idea. If they were accurate Parker would of used the data and mined the rich areas first then moved to lean areas. Tony is just a smart business person, he knew no one else was going to give parker land so he made that contract. He is smart. Its business. Tony made alot of money for no work or cost. But really tony should of just mined the land himself and made more money.
Leo Ortega that has nothing to do with it Tony gave Parker a chance to mine good ground Parker had no ground in the Yukon it is because of Tony that Parker is where he is today......
I've liked Parker since the very beginning of Gold Rush when working with his Grandpa. Sometimes the boss is not very popular, just giving out orders, and people take it wrong. Plus Parker is very young,,so yes he has a lot to learn about being the boss. But Parker is still young, give him a break, he's human and makes mistakes. Hopefully as Parker gets older he's more like his deceased Grandpa, who was a fine man. I think he will.
I wonder if Parker has ever considered getting in to rock crushing and crushing tailings? Also, Parker's relationship with his grandfather is what sold me on the show.
WOW... Do you think Parker was right to shove the gold in the Hoffmans face in season one... The way he talks to his employees, Parker himself said he has made mistakes in his time up till now... As for bullying if parker felt that he could just walk away from the show and keep mining... Don`t forget he is recieving a pay check to be on the show no one is forcing him...
Thanks for making my point all kids are punk ass kids Parker is no expectation he just had a job as he was one... Even myself and yourself were/are punk ass kids...
Here is my idea for an awesome TV SHOW...........A small group of guys decide they want to go Gold mining ( Similar to Gold Rush, Discoveries most popular show ever ) But not Placer Gold they decide to go underground and mine Lode Gold ( Where most of the Gold is anyway ) So they go and explore a few abandoned mines looking for a good one. They find an awesome abandoned mine buy it, then form a mining company to raise funds to restore and operate this old mine. The stock is publicly traded on the stock market so the viewers or anyone for that matter can buy or sell shares at anytime. The show would be about the acquisition, development and operation of this old mine. The fact that viewers can own stock in this mine would be revolutionary because it would be the first show ever where viewers actually had a stake in the show they are watching! Lode mining is far more interesting and exciting than placer mining. You have explosives, history, terminology sights and sounds that most people have never seen plus all kinds of interesting minerals and rock formations as well as some danger.
Exploring Abandoned Mines you should hit Todd Hoffman up with this or crysto royal at discovery they had a haunted mine show on that was good for real mining minus the ghost hunting but great idea
I think the idea that a mine is no longer in operation is because everything worth mining has been mined. So essentially they'd be raising funds to dig a deep hole for no reason
Tony Beets made that kid rich.He needs to stop complaining.Tony put him on ground with gold on it making 3000-6000 oz a season.He could be like Rick getting a 1000 oz a season(if he's lucky) LOL. A 1000 oz is not a lot of money when you consider the over head.
50 years in construction. Parker is absolutely right. Moving dirt efficiently is the difference between profit and bankruptcy. Simple as it sounds, it combines part science, part psychology and part artistry. You always look at the slowest part of your operation for improvement. Are trucks waiting to load or to dump, is one employee or piece of equipment slowing things down, are the haul road and turnarounds efficient.
I liked Parker better when he was a young guy, full of energy and enthusiasm. It seems that the gold mining business is turning him into a cynical and bitter human being. So he's made millions, but what good is that if your life is a constant struggle filled with aggravation and outbursts of anger. It's quite ironic to see him gradually turn into a Tony Beets, the guy whom he hates most.
Another 40 he's already there as for Tony he doesn't have to lease any land or anything for anyone he just let's parker work his land to finance his future toys a fucking genius and a Icelandic Canadian go for the home team give em shit Tony he's not working hard enough 4 you ..
PARKER IS MY MOST FAV YOUNG MAN, FANTASTIC GOLDMINER A VERY SUCCESSFUL YOUNGMAN, HARD WORKER. HE DESERVES THE BEST IN LIFE!!! HIS FAMILY RAISED HIM WELL AND HIS TENACITY TO SUCCEED MAY GOD BLESS HIM WELL KEEP HIM SAFE FROM HARM OF OTHERS LOOKING AT HIM FOR WRONG REASONS!!
I’ll tell you what amazes me in the gold aspect of gold rush.. The fact that a flake of gold will find a place to settle on the mats with the water rushing like it is. And on the other side a 3 inch rock will blow the end and not settle down on the gold mats.
Respect Parker 👍🏻. U have earnt what u have now. TO BE THE BEST LEARN FROM THE NEST” that’s what u did. You have the special one guy to thank and that’s your grandpa. Looking down at you proud as mate 🤝
I have to admit I would love to have a shot at doing what Parker does . Closet's I come is refining gold filled idems for my gold . Im starting to do ok but to get a chance to do what he does man.
I liked Parkers parents. A few years back , his Mother " Tuned " is ass up. He was smarting off to her and she put him in his place. Her real parenting came into out.
good interview. Parker and the host have chemistry and it makes for a n informative and fun interview. Parker is growing up good. I hope he still has his girlfriend, she seems to have very positive personality.
Parker im sure you wernt a punk at ten if ever, sounds like you loved your grampa and that you truly learned a hard work ethic at a very young age all the good wishes in the future to ya
Tony made parker who he is today . He gave him the opportunity to mine his land which was very productive . He showed him the ropes on how to strip mine . It worked out for tony getting more in royalties but it was productive land that tony could have mined himself . Giving this to an unproven kid I dont know who would do that . Parker needs to be more grateful . You dont need to like a person to do that . I am sure Tony is happy what he created in parker . Parker seems to have lost the hate a bit as it was much harder and actually more expensive mining his own land over tonys even with the higher royalties . Thats growing up gaining life experiences . As gold get harder to find its the expert prospector who wins . Prices will go higher which means you wont need as much gold to make the same profit
Interesting to see another side to Parker; you never really know how much of what you see on the show is fake. I wish he had discussed hard numbers more; I am really curious what his net was this last year. Given that he mined 6200 ounces or so, I am quite curious what kind of return there is for such a capital and running cost-heavy business. Obviously Tony Beets isn’t a dummy with regards to the dredges; he’s only running one generator for all that production and the only other costs besides the running costs of the dredge are the costs to clear the dirt ahead of the dredge. Maybe some day we’ll get a decent rundown, but I wouldn’t be surprised if those numbers are a very tightly-held secret.
Tony Beets' average net profit is 32% of his total turnover, Parker is only around 24%, but this average can go up and down depending how your equipment lasts throughout the years

Nice interview. Glad Parker knows his strengths and weaknesses. Not many 23 year olds could handle a tenth of the responsibilities he had .
If Parker becomes a quarter of the man his grandpa was he will be a great success in life and i do not mean just financially..
Dreama40 No offense we truly don't no shit about his grandfather... just what he was like in his 90s...
you dont know shit about his grandpa. parker has found more gold then his grandpa did his whole life. his grandpa even said that in a episode. WOW i never found that much my whole life. when parker showed him the jars full.
Wont happen. Hes an arrogant greedy fuck.
@@StevesDIYProjects7 Obviously they meant as a person you moron. Get a brain.
The comments are funny 😂 Parker is only 23 and he has a lot of pressure on him, spend half a million just on fuel any of you without the guarantee of getting it back and see how nice you would be 😂

He is a gold mining legend in the making and who knows what he will achieve in years to come.
John schnabel was awesome
He was a good kid who turned into a decent man. His grandpa would be proud still today.
Parker has gotten so relaxed being interviewed.
I think I started watching Gold Rush in Parker's second season running his own operation in the Yukon. I didn't think much of him at first he was young with very little experience managing people and it really showed, he was just plain nasty to everyone. He's really grown in his role since then and I do truly have a lot of respect for him as a boss now. If I ever got the chance to go up there and gold mine I would want to be on Parker's crew!
Not a bad interview. He lets the guest talk.
He is a man....usually are the women interviewers that constantly interrupting guests.
"what do you think i can trade that for?"
Parker: "Idk A Joint." 🤔🤣😁👍🏽 17:50
Herby Maldonado 20 dollars a joint in the Yukon
That's a pretty expensive joint xD
This was the best interview with Parker I have ever seen. I love that he was able to get past the routine questions he always gets and is able to show some of Parker the man. We were able to see a bit more of who he is and what drives him ( other than gold and money) . Listening to him actually talk of his strengths and weaknesses and laugh at himself and compliment others showed a different side than what us viewers normally get to see.
All in all, seeing him smile and laugh and be kind was wonderful. Makes me want to meet him and get to know the real guy not the businessman.
Absolutely Chris. The nicest and gentlest soul. It's comforting that he passed away knowing his grandson made it big.
Parker is a good kid. Granted he needs to work on his humane resources skills. He's ambitious and a risk taker. As an x gold miner as he states in this video, lots of money goes out to cover costs of getting to the gold. Kudos to Parker and continued success.

Dude that's your next project. It's just bigger pieces.
Gold Rush is more a glammer of who has the biggest and best toys to play in the mud with..Gold Mining in the real world doesn't cost 7 million a year to operate..The guys on Yukon Gold are realists and do it with old machines and dont even bother to try and spend more then they could possibly make..If you get a chance and haven't watched Yukon Gold I recommend it..They actually show the steps of making Gold and it running through the wash plant and isn't about the Drama..
Yea but they don't find much gold in Yukon Gold
John was a great man and he taught Parker everything he knew about the business.........
@Terry Williams wow, you really need to take some responsibility for your life. You can do better, please try.
If Parker want`s to lose his money , just go into business with Todd HofFman
Maybe he and Hoffman can start singing together
Right Right
Lololol
I still find it hilarious that Todd went up there and thought he could treat Parker like some little kid and childishly make fun of him in that first season only to get his ass handed to him again and again until he was ruined mentally and financially.
ZING! haha
Gold Rush is one of the best shows on tv.
....Tony is king of the Yukon.....he finds Parker amusing...like a toy he can play with
Parker,you are really an angel. You are really humble despite your fortune.
His first confusion is the statement of Managing People. You do not manage people Kid, You lead them. You manage your resources. Love the show
you know his grandpa is looking down from heaven and saying, that's my grandson.
Don't forget he also said "I love you Parker". They were a team. Grandpa and parker had something that many of us don't have and something we all could learn from.
Heaven isn't real, you really think people die then float into the sky and live there?
You probably don't believe in evolution either...
@@googleuser859 seriously, who tf asked? Funny thing is, you can't prove either is or isn't real lmao
Ive been a fan of Parkers evver since he told the camra that Todd had gold fever!
You mean RE TODD LOL
It has been satisfying to me to spend an hour a week watching Parker grow up. Face it. Its entertainment and so much more goes on plus created drama - not so much in the busiest camps - to make a product that isn't a swimsuit calendar of Todd.
His success follows a familiar formula. Be knowledgeable. Surround yourself with good people. Hold yourself responsible.
Parker grew up in a business oriented family. To his credit he kept with it. Having the good fortune of a production crew on site for a couple of summers was a mutual anf unforseen benefit. His relationship with John was more precious than anything all the crews have harvested the entire run of the show.
Tony Beets taught Parker the realities of mining the first month Parker was in the Klondike. Tony had to have seen some quality in Parker or he would not have given him the time of day. Tony flat gets shit done.
Its, as we are told, developed into an adversarial relationship. Now they're neighbors. Tony is a smart guy. He has used Parker to mine ground that he knew was going to be less profitable, plus charge him a premium to do it and using that income to finance what he likely has coveted for years. He pushed Parker until he got to where his operation produced enough to turn a profit. As neighbors though, they really are only competing with themselves.
I hope upcoming seasons reveal not only realities of business but how neighbors' relationships are on the edge of civilation and relate to life on the frontier. Someday they are going to need each other.
Ric Havic Lets not forget that Parker brought Tony another paycheck from goldrush.
learn to spell
Since he sold the pile of wood to Todd...
That and your temper Parker, but we still love you! Love your know how at a young age! Your grampa taught you very well!
Great interview enjoyed every minute, this guy has worked hard from a young age & deserves to reep the rewards 👍👍👍
It makes sense why Tony Beets uses dredges. It's more efficient from an overhead cost perspective. Can't imagine what the fuel costs are to run a bunch of excavators, bulldozers, water pumps, and rock trucks.
Parker is grounded and very mature for his age, very nice hardworking young man!
Being a underground miner myself,no longer now though I would rather go work for Parker than sit here fighting compensation
short step 100% agreed!
Parker is a good man for his age not too many young guys like him today don't stop Parker keep going
As he matures, Parker is improving his people skills.
Parker Schnabel is a hero!
Tony Beets royalties are structured to punish production. Can´t blame Parker for wanting to leave Tony, where his production will now be unbound.
Marcus Aurelius Tony also brought fame to Tony by association with Parker. He now gets a nice payday from discovery.
Parker wouldn't be around after the first year if it wasn't for Tony..Tony knows the value of his claims and does religious testing and knows what is in the ground he gave to Parker..Parker should worship the ground Tony made him rich with and should forever kiss Tony's ass..any miner would give his left nut to get the deal Parker had..Think he's a puke for making Tony look bad!..

Naomi Beery nothing like the millions he makes on his own.
Parker should give Tony credit he made parker into what he is today he gave him a chance ...
Magwa Magwa no he didnt..Parker knew what he was doing..Todd.didnt.
Leo Ortega that has nothing to do with it Tony gave Parker a chance to mine good ground Parker had no ground in the Yukon it is because of Tony that Parker is where he is today......
Parker has mentioned a couple of times that he owes everything to Tony
Tony gave him an opportunity. Parker had the work ethic and know how to take advantage of the opportunity.
djb 5823 I read jealousy. Ha ha ha LOL
I've liked Parker since the very beginning of Gold Rush when working with his Grandpa. Sometimes the boss is not very popular, just giving out orders, and people take it wrong.

I`ve grown to like Parker he has come along way from that punk kid in season one and has a long way to go... Make your Grampa proud Parker...
Tom E Tanks Parker can do no wrong in my eyes.
WOW... Do you think Parker was right to shove the gold in the Hoffmans face in season one... The way he talks to his employees, Parker himself said he has made mistakes in his time up till now...
As for bullying if parker felt that he could just walk away from the show and keep mining... Don`t forget he is recieving a pay check to be on the show no one is forcing him...

So Todd is a great movie star........but not a great Gold Miner.
i wouldnt say that.
I think the idea that a mine is no longer in operation is because everything worth mining has been mined. So essentially they'd be raising funds to dig a deep hole for no reason
mines are no longer in operation? no wonder jeff williams diggin in the sides of mountains in nevada pulling nuggets....SO COME ON LETS GO!!
Tony Beets made that kid rich.He needs to stop complaining.Tony put him on ground with gold on it making 3000-6000 oz a season.He could be like Rick getting a 1000 oz a season(if he's lucky) LOL. A 1000 oz is not a lot of money when you consider the over head.

He is very mature for his age. And be able to handle his older employers. Seam to be very intelligent. Good show!
Soo sorry about his grandfather he helped him keep his eye on what is really important.
brian elowsky
You can't beat the kid....
Great guy, loved watching him grow his operation. It has been great.
Haha that last 3 seconds cracked me up

what a cool interview
I kept pausing this thinking 💭 wtf? The sirens wailing outside of the building are driving me crazy!
Parker hit every branch comin down.
Turns out it was a money tree
Anyone else notice the people in the window across the street.
I do now
no
I was just about to say that lol
I love Parker........but I can't stop watching the people in the background window😂
we are cheering for parker
Parker is a driver. And so beyond his years.
A joint😂 Parker rules
His maturity has grown tremendously, the guy is speaking like a 60 year old!
Good luck on your journey parker
A joint i love it parkers the man
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
Masaharu Morimoto s
Proof that hard work will get you there.. Ya, he had the opportunity built in. But his work ethic got him here.
Great job Parker....
In another 40 years Parker will be another Tony ; )
CD S .i think he already is.both assholes.
Tony is a bigger asshole than any of them but, that’s business.
He liked TONYS DAUGHTER...TILL HE FOUND OUT THAT HER BALLS WAS BIGGER THAN HIS
Parker will soon own tons of land and lease it to 18 year olds for 15 percent royalties
Another 40 he's already there as for Tony he doesn't have to lease any land or anything for anyone he just let's parker work his land to finance his future toys a fucking genius and a Icelandic Canadian go for the home team give em shit Tony he's not working hard enough 4 you ..
Hi Parker! Great show! great vid!
My toaster is broken
This kid is special, who else his age deals with millions in business were the men who work for u are hard as f
PARKER IS MY MOST FAV YOUNG MAN, FANTASTIC GOLDMINER A VERY SUCCESSFUL YOUNGMAN, HARD WORKER. HE DESERVES THE BEST IN LIFE!!! HIS FAMILY RAISED HIM WELL
AND HIS TENACITY TO SUCCEED MAY GOD BLESS HIM WELL KEEP HIM SAFE FROM HARM OF OTHERS LOOKING AT HIM FOR WRONG REASONS!!
I’ll tell you what amazes me in the gold aspect of gold rush.. The fact that a flake of gold will find a place to settle on the mats with the water rushing like it is. And on the other side a 3 inch rock will blow the end and not settle down on the gold mats.
that is the key to success, move gold bearing dirt as quickly and efficiently as possible
I couldn't stop watching the people in the other building
U go Parker we love ya man from your fans from Texas
The kid is very smart and well spoken for 23 years old!! I wish he would treat his employees better rather than blowing up at them.
Respect Parker 👍🏻. U have earnt what u have now. TO BE THE BEST LEARN FROM THE NEST” that’s what u did. You have the special one guy to thank and that’s your grandpa. Looking down at you proud as mate 🤝
Parker is absolutely right about the youth part! i never thought of that btw...but very interesting ! (Y)
Was parker getting lit. He sure was enjoying that drink, and seemed to loosen up after a few swigs.
Brilliant Parker. Great show !! #GoldRush #Parker
Did those sirens ever freak me out haha
keep that gold fever bud, not to many men can experience that glory these days!
....was enjoying the interview....though a year old....
...but got fascinated with the people in the next building...
You should have asked him how much he makes as a TV star I am sure it makes him a lot more than gold mining!
I've heard somewhere they make about 70k per show.
Plus they get free equipment to use.......how could they not be getting rich!
+Exploring Abandoned Mines. ...lol,BULLSHIT!
explore parkers mine?
That would be about as much fun as visiting a gravel pit!
I have to admit I would love to have a shot at doing what Parker does . Closet's I come is refining gold filled idems for my gold . Im starting to do ok but to get a chance to do what he does man.
I’d be willing to bet that’s vodka in the glass.
How come the algorithm never decided to show me this until today after 10 yrs of watching Gold rush
What is going on in the window across the street?
Parker’s the man !
Parkers grandad was a fucking legend... fact!
very very good interview you the man Parker
I can't believe that your magazine would take this guy seriously. It's a manipulated reality show, not real life. Whatever sells I suppose.
Parker he is a very smart guy...the best
Blessings
I liked Parkers parents. A few years back , his Mother " Tuned " is ass up. He was smarting off to her and she put him in his place. Her real parenting came into out.
Yeah she did. Told him I can shut this whole thing down.
I've been a software engineer for 30yrs, I always thought my job was to make my job redundant.
good interview. Parker and the host have chemistry and it makes for a n informative and fun interview. Parker is growing up good. I hope he still has his girlfriend, she seems to have very positive personality.
I love his show!
Be nice to have a family that already has a multimillion dollar company on the go when he started. Try starting from absolutely nothing.
Gotta love Parker!!!
I'm on a gold rush mission started watching from the 1st season back2back last week evry day
Desmond Townson good choice I’d say.
Parker im sure you wernt a punk at ten if ever, sounds like you loved your grampa and that you truly learned a hard work ethic at a very young age all the good wishes in the future to ya
Tony made parker who he is today . He gave him the opportunity to mine his land which was very productive . He showed him the ropes on how to strip mine . It worked out for tony getting more in royalties but it was productive land that tony could have mined himself . Giving this to an unproven kid I dont know who would do that . Parker needs to be more grateful . You dont need to like a person to do that . I am sure Tony is happy what he created in parker . Parker seems to have lost the hate a bit as it was much harder and actually more expensive mining his own land over tonys even with the higher royalties . Thats growing up gaining life experiences . As gold get harder to find its the expert prospector who wins . Prices will go higher which means you wont need as much gold to make the same profit
I really like parker
Interesting to see another side to Parker; you never really know how much of what you see on the show is fake. I wish he had discussed hard numbers more; I am really curious what his net was this last year. Given that he mined 6200 ounces or so, I am quite curious what kind of return there is for such a capital and running cost-heavy business. Obviously Tony Beets isn’t a dummy with regards to the dredges; he’s only running one generator for all that production and the only other costs besides the running costs of the dredge are the costs to clear the dirt ahead of the dredge. Maybe some day we’ll get a decent rundown, but I wouldn’t be surprised if those numbers are a very tightly-held secret.
Tony Beets' average net profit is 32% of his total turnover, Parker is only around 24%, but this average can go up and down depending how your equipment lasts throughout the years
