Nice interview. Glad Parker knows his strengths and weaknesses. Not many 23 year olds could handle a tenth of the responsibilities he had .
Great elders help
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.
Parker has gotten so relaxed being interviewed.
John schnabel was awesome
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.
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.
Not a bad interview. He lets the guest talk.
He is a man....usually are the women interviewers that constantly interrupting guests.
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 😂
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!
Absolutely Chris. The nicest and gentlest soul. It's comforting that he passed away knowing his grandson made it big.
He was a good kid who turned into a decent man. His grandpa would be proud still today.
Awesome, thanks for sharing!

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
"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
Gold Rush is one of the best shows on tv.
A joint i love it parkers the man
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.
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.
what a cool interview
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 :)
Geo Thomas It's got nothing to do with you right? What are you bitchin about?
There are some great time lapse videos on here of full overhauls for D-11 or the others...Very cool and MONSTERS!

Dude that's your next project. It's just bigger pieces.
very very good interview you the man Parker
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.
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
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.
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
I kept pausing this thinking 💭 wtf? The sirens wailing outside of the building are driving me crazy!
Parker is cool and I wish I could work and learn from him and his crew.
Be careful what you wish for ...
Gotta love Parker!!!
....Tony is king of the Yukon.....he finds Parker amusing...like a toy he can play with
that is the key to success, move gold bearing dirt as quickly and efficiently as possible
Haha that last 3 seconds cracked me up
Soo sorry about his grandfather he helped him keep his eye on what is really important.

Great interview
A joint😂 Parker rules
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!
Parker,you are really an angel. You are really humble despite your fortune.
Brilliant Parker. Great show !! #GoldRush #Parker
As he matures, Parker is improving his people skills.
Great guy, loved watching him grow his operation. It has been great.
I love his show!
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...
Parker is absolutely right about the youth part! i never thought of that btw...but very interesting ! (Y)
Hi Parker! Great show! great vid!
You can't beat the kid....
I love Parker........but I can't stop watching the people in the background window😂
Parker Schnabel is a hero!
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!
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.
That and your temper Parker, but we still love you! Love your know how at a young age! Your grampa taught you very well!
I would love to work with his crew
Parker hit every branch comin down.
Turns out it was a money tree
Good luck on your journey parker
....was enjoying the interview....though a year old....
...but got fascinated with the people in the next building...
Was parker getting lit. He sure was enjoying that drink, and seemed to loosen up after a few swigs.
we are cheering for parker
Parker’s the man !
Parker is a driver. And so beyond his years.
He is very mature for his age. And be able to handle his older employers. Seam to be very intelligent. Good show!
I couldn't stop watching the people in the other building
Parker is grounded and very mature for his age, very nice hardworking young man!
His maturity has grown tremendously, the guy is speaking like a 60 year old!
Did those sirens ever freak me out haha
Was that song together on the sand?
How come the algorithm never decided to show me this until today after 10 yrs of watching Gold rush
U go Parker we love ya man from your fans from Texas
Great job Parker....
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 watch this in The Philippines, but something like the 2nd season, I wish they could be more up to date.
most are on you tube now, all series
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.
My toaster is broken
Anyone else notice the people in the window across the street.
I do now
no
I was just about to say that lol
Parker needs to go take over the 16-1 mine LOL
Parker is a good man for his age not too many young guys like him today don't stop Parker keep going
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.
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!..
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.
Naomi Beery nothing like the millions he makes on his own.
I found a big nugget prospecting in Alaska and it was HUGE & theirs many more out there waiting to be found. 💵💵💵
The last line! LOL
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
Parker he is a very smart guy...the best
I really like parker
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
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!!
How many hours did Parker spend on the mine this season
Hey Junior! :D
Great interview enjoyed every minute, this guy has worked hard from a young age & deserves to reep the rewards 👍👍👍
I love Gold Rush
How many hours did Parker spend on the mine this season.
This kid is special, who else his age deals with millions in business were the men who work for u are hard as f
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.
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.
What is going on in the window across the street?
I’d be willing to bet that’s vodka in the glass.
Love to watch gold rush, but wonder if these workers get a percentage of the finds or are at a fixed hour rate.. ..
FransJBM Blaas they do get an percentage but I also wonder if they get a fixed minimum rate
They get a hourly rate and also share in a percentage i believe its 1-2% of the yield each.
Parker is the man .
So, Whats going on in the window in that building behind them?? hmmmmmm
My neam Is joe Kelly. I would love to go and give it a try to work with you paker. Form ireland
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
What are the people in the building behind them doing?
Cody Manikowski yoga
i knew panning for gold was done in
hollywood in a basement some were with a green screen lol
Proof that hard work will get you there.. Ya, he had the opportunity built in. But his work ethic got him here.
