Gold Rush

Watching tonight's filler episodes and for some reason wanted to see these .gifs again.

Yeah, Parker is lucky that Rick doesn't just rip his head off and shit down his neck because he deserves it sometimes. The way he handled switching how Rick's plant was set up was incredibly childish. As a team though, they are infinitely more competent than the Hoffmans, not that that's saying much.

I'm not thrilled about Todd's shitty kid being more of a character on the show this year but at least they are mostly failing so it's enjoyable to watch. Now that Dave's gone the only person on the crew that I feel bad for is Freddy. Freddy is one of the things that makes me think the whole show is fake though, because I just don't see how a guy that is supposedly a great miner with tons of experience decides to go into business with a confirmed buffoon like Todd.

Tony turned out to be sort of a one-note character and I get tired of him but I actually like his kids pretty well.

I mostly watch the show for the breakdowns because it makes me feel better about the fact that everything is always broken on my place so obviously my favorite character is Mitch. I'm very glad he's on Parker's crew now.

Obviously it was a good idea. Even Rick said you can't argue with results. But if you're the boss you have to just be a man and go down there and tell him that this is what you want to do and if he doesn't like it you have to just say "well that's what's happening". Waiting until he's gone and then changing stuff behind his back and then trying to blame it on a simpleton like Brenden is just super immature. It is hard to be the boss over people who are older than you but Parker's been doing it long enough that he should be beyond that kind of shit.

As far as the half-assed setup, I think that's mostly just Rick being a Monday morning quarterback. I've worked around plenty of blue collar guys and everybody is smarter than the boss after something didn't work when they didn't have to figure it out in the first place.

I thought for sure Parker would get it in the ass for removing the grizzly bars but they only suffered 1.5 hours downtime. Lucky call I think.

Todd buys a super expensive trommel from someone that has never made one before. Why does that sound familiar?

I didn't watch the Dakota boys spinoff but I will on your recommendation. I was always impressed with Fred's ability to build major parts of his machinery out of junk he found laying around the yard.

I wonder if this is actually a reasonable way to get gold or if they just thought it would make for good television. I think both Fred and Dustin are kind of dicks, but I'm glad they booted that PAB stepson. He was a typical 20 year old that knows more than the boss and I didn't really want to watch any more of him.
