narrator: on this "gold rush"...
Rick: we just had a talk about
how we were gonna get through the rest of this season!
we'll deal with it next year!
Rick ness faces down a rebellion.
well, he's lost it this time.
narrator: with two operations down...
...the beets family struggles to recover.
kind of feel like throwing up.
you've just got to put every body you can in a truck
and do whatever you can to keep up.
narrator: and Parker schnabel's search for gold...
i'm trying to keep that wash plant running.
...pushes his crew to the limit.
Dennis!
Rick: this year has just been one giant roller-coast ride.
i know there's big gold here at Duncan creek.
it's just, the ground does not want to give it up.
and i've spent hundreds of thousands of dollars
trying to find it.
narrator: in the mountains above keno,
Rick ness finally has his operation dialed in.
Rick: everybody's committed to finishing this season strong.
you know, morale is good. the ground's holding up.
the weather's holding up for now.
so it's time to just push right on through
till we get froze out.
narrator: with 5 weeks left in the season,
Rick's got just 350 ounces of gold.
he's determined to hit his 500-ounce break-even point
and put some money in the bank for him and his crew.
kruse: the most important thing right now
is that we get something out of this ground to get to our goal.
the last thing any of us wants to do
is go home without a bonus,
and the last thing i want to do is see Rick lose his ass.
narrator: monster red is running up to 300 yards
of potentially gold-rich pay every hour.
we've been up and running pretty smoothly
the last couple of days.
oh, boy. we're getting there.
all hands on deck.
just trying to, you know, pound this dirt through.
oh, hold on.
you got to be kidding me.
hey.
there's a rock pileup.
shut her down.
i assume this isn't good.
what happened?
not much left.
i'm just gonna get in there and take a look-see.
oh!
Rick: the hopper for this conveyor
is just lodged in the tail wheel of our belt
and caused it to stall out and load up on us.
and it's just worn-out and it's a problem.
narrator: after washing all the gold-rich material
off the rocks,
monster red sends them out onto the conveyor through a hopper.
the heavy Duncan creek rocks have destroyed
the sides of the hopper,
allowing them to build up under the conveyor belt,
stopping the belt and jamming the hopper.
this conveyor is not built for this ground.
we just -- seems like it's running
too big of rocks through and stuff, right?
i don't know, Carl.
it's like, it's so
wait. is that other hopper over there?
let's just take that other hopper off, like, this thing
right here off the other one, and put it in here.
well, let's just go see what kind of shape it's in.
i'm coming. i'm coming.
narrator: when Rick bought monster red,
it came with a spare tailings hopper.
so, if you armor this up here...yeah.
...and it doesn't have a chance to pound through it...
yeah....then it should be okay.
yeah.
yeah, realistically, i'm down to try that.
to prevent the replacement breaking in the same way,
they'll reinforce it using impact wear plates.
first up, Rick and zee remove the damaged hopper.
let's go.
every hour monster red is down,
Rick's chances of breaking even slip away.
we got it.
Rick: wow. boy, that is beat to
that's pretty much a metaphor for what these boulders
and this ground have done to my season
and to this whole wash plant --
beat the out of it.
we're just killing it this year, and now that we've sluicifer
and big red set up down there side by side,
they're gonna chew through that ground like crazy.
narrator: 25-year-old Parker schnabel
has turbocharged his operation in a desperate bid
to mine the rest of his ground.
Parker: we've got about 5 weeks left in the season,
and we've still got a lot of ground to get through.
probably -- i don't know -- 35% or so.
we spent a lot of money in the crater cut.
hopefully it pays off.
narrator: he's set up two wash plants to run the crater cut pay dirt.
Parker: we've never had two wash plants in a cut before,
and i'm sure there's gonna be some growing pains,
but it's pretty bad-ass.
narrator: half a mile away, in the crater cut,
co-foreman Brennan ruault loads rock trucks with gold-rich pay.
Brennan: definitely is pretty bad-ass
seeing both those plants running side by side.
it's definitely something we don't see every day.
just as long as we keep this pay going down to that plant,
then everything should be golden.
narrator: three rock trucks haul the pay to the stockpile,
where loader operator Bree Harrison feeds
big red and sluicifer.
we're really making it through this dirt,
and things are looking good.
narrator: but running both plants 24/7 is creating a new challenge.
with both these plants going, this tiny little stockpile
ain't gonna do the job for us.
hey, Mitch.how's it going?
what are these plants doing for yardage?
you know, when we crank them up and get them maxed out,
we'll be at 500 yards an hour.
this stockpile ain't even gonna get us close.
i don't know how we're gonna hold out night shifts.
narrator: their rock trucks only run 12 hours a day,
so to keep the plants fed overnight,
they need to haul 1,000 yards of pay dirt an hour.
the trucks haul about 27 yards a load.
that's just a little over 400 loads in a day,
and that means we got to truck 400 loads in 12 hours.
right.
so Brennan's gonna have to just drop everything and truck
12 hours a day, huh?
it's gonna be tough. yeah.
it's gonna take everything we got to keep up
with these two plants.
you've just got to put every body you can in a truck
and do whatever you can to keep up.
all right, man.yeah, no problem.
hopefully we can make a Mountain here.
Brennan: Parker just radioed me and said i have to make sure
i haul enough pay down to both those wash plants
to run for 24 hours straight 'cause we only load for 12.
it's go, go, go, go, go to try and keep these plants running.
narrator: to move 400 loads in 12 hours,
co-foreman Brennan faces a tough challenge --
fill each rock truck in the crater cut,
have it haul the pay half a mile to the pay pile,
and come back to the cut ready to load in just 5 minutes.
Aaron: oh, we're having a tough time.
Brennan's goal is 400 truckloads a day, and we're hauling ass.
hard to keep up.
Dennis: it's gonna be a long end of the season
to get all this pay dirt out,
but obviously Parker's calculator
works different than everybody else's.
so he's doing the paying, so he'll do the saying, i guess.
Brennan: the rock trucks are going flat-out all day long.
you know, they're passing each other,
doing 100 Miles an hour.
look at the do that.
hey! hey! hey!
Dennis!
Dennis!
Mitch: i'm just glad you're all right.
see something new every day.
narrator: racing to build a massive pile of pay dirt
to keep both wash plants fed has backfired on Parker's crew.
i try to keep up with Brennan in the 750.
he throws the loads in so quick.
so we kind of get ahead of ourselves
and try to drive as fast as we can,
but obviously just a little bit too fast, so...
i know he needs to get his 400 loads a day down here,
but you guys can't be driving this quick.
yeah.
every hour Dennis' truck is out of action means
12 fewer loads on the stockpile.
when we roll it back over, the truck rolled that way,
so we have to bring it back this way.
if this thing starts twisting too much or we lose it,
we're gonna snap those hydraulic lines off.
Dennis: okay.
Dennis' rock truck is articulated.
okay, i'm in place, Mitch.
so when the payload flipped, the cab stayed upright.
Mitch: you guys watch out.
when this thing hammers down, might go flying.
here she comes.
nicely done.
man, that's a really good feeling to see it back
on its wheels and tires.
Dennis having that rollover in the truck,
it's really screwed my day over.
it's gonna drop my numbers pretty significant here.
ohh!
narrator: with one rock truck out of action all day,
by the end of the shift, Brennan has only managed 250 loads.
well, did you get your 400 loads out today?
no, i definitely didn't hit 400 loads today, man.
Dennis rolled his truck, and...
Mitch: you know, he just was coming down too fast.
is he all right?
yeah, no, he seems, you know -- he's fine.
so, what are we gonna do about the plants?
well, there's definitely not enough dirt
to get through tonight.
yeah.so do we shut one down?
i mean, we're either gonna -- you're gonna shut
one down now, or you're gonna shut them
both down in the middle of the night.
right. all right.
well, let's do that, then,
and we'll go ahead and shut big red down.
probably cost us 15 or 20 ounces of gold.
narrator: sluicifer is now the only plant
running on night shift.
no dirt, no washing rocks.
Rick: the hopper, it's all blown apart inside,
so we lost almost 1/2 day of sluicing
because we shut down early.
narrator: monster red is shut down.
coarse rocks have destroyed the tailing's hopper.
Rick has no gold coming in.
his chances of making a profit
and paying his guys a bonus are slipping away.
zee: it's just, this ground's really rough on equipment.
everything's kind of on borrowed time here right now.
narrator: at the lay-down yard, the pressure
is on mechanic Carl rosk to modify a spare hopper
to withstand the impact of the claim's big boulders.
what do you think, buddy? how long is it gonna take?
i got way too much work to do.
nothing's happening anytime quick, right?
they could been up there welding the whole time, right?
yeah. right off.
watch one guy work like normal, right?
we've got a lot of work inside here, right?
if i work on this tonight and inside here,
i'll be here till 10:00 tonight, right?
is Carl laying down, fixing stuff?
he's got a lot to do, right?
yeah, i mean, they're gonna be welding plates on and stuff.
i'd be surprised if we even start back up.
i might go in the gold room and do some chores
i got to do and just be on the radio when...
all right.
ah, Jay made pork loin last night.
a pork loin sandwich.
narrator: as Carl reinforces the hopper...
it's a pretty big deal to get done at the end of the day
and have a good meal like this.
a nice, hearty meal.
...Rick and the rest of his crew call it a day.
good thing Carl's not here
'cause these skewers -- he'd definitely lose an eye.
he'd try to eat it like this.
"whoa!" -"whoa-ho-ho!
there's wood in the middle!"
zee: "oh, how do you do this?"
no way. unreal.
lazy pieces of
i'm sick of it.
come on in.
narrator: after everyone else quit early,
Carl and operator mark
worked into the night to strengthen the tailing's hopper.
okay, tip it back!
no, it's good now.
all right? big
big rush to get that in there, and we've got
3 hours' worth of welding left, right?
yeah.what a bunch of idiots.
everybody knew we were down. everyone knew we had problems.
did anybody stay late last night? me and mark did.
i worked till 10:00 last night to get as much done.
and i got here early. got everything going, right?
everyone's, like, pressuring, like, "we got to go get this in."
it's like, "yeah, we can get that in there,
we've got 3 or 4 hours' worth of welding to do," right?
drives me nuts.
Carl's leaving?
you're kidding.
damn it.
this guy.
i don't understand how you go from me talking to you, zero,
to all of a sudden, you're in the back of my truck.
that's such
that's such
you know that's not the case.
yeah, and we just had a talk about it,
about how we were gonna get through the rest
of this season!
we'll deal with it next year!
we talked about this.
i said i stupidly thought things would get better,
and we talked about it
and came to a conclusion.
he's lost it this time,
so i'm not gonna sit here and beg.
Carl: sick of it, man.
so he can get himself a mechanic,
see how the that works out for him.
'cause there's nobody here that could work
a 12-hour day.
narrator: the ness crew is falling apart.
after an argument with Rick, Carl has quit.
i kind of get his point of view.
i do, too.
i mean, that's why i'm trying to just settle down right now.
i mean, it's true.
it's pretty disorganized.
and it's just hard to...
it's hard to see people not pull their weight
when they could be helping out.
mm-hmm.
there shouldn't be any bad blood, you know. like...
he just told me to take my gold bonus
and shove it up my ass.
there kind of is bad blood.
i mean, he knows
he's the most important part of this crew.
yeah.
i tell him that all the time.
i mean, a part of me really wants to reach out
and see if there's any last hail Mary.
i'm not in the mood to beg right now.
yeah. right. i get you.
i'm just gonna wait a bit before i go talk to him again.
yeah. you should.
okay. sorry, Rick.
narrator: after being forced out of Indian river,
Tony beets' best hope of turning a profit
was to run three operations out of his paradise hill base.
Kevin's shaker was shut down after producing just 50 ounces,
and Monica has been frozen out of the honker cut.
Mike's trommel has been running 300 yards an hour,
but despite a deep pay layer,
the ground at the mega-cut has been patchy.
if my plant wasn't running this year,
we wouldn't be making no gold for a majority of it,
which would have made it a very skimpy year this year.
narrator: now, $1.1 million short of where he was last season,
Tony's counting on a big payday from Mike's operation.
-hey, pa. -hola.
Monica: who are you gonna put on nights?
mm-hmm.
narrator: running Mike's trommel 24/7 should help the family catch up.
so, Tony kind of sprang this night shift on Mike
and i at the trommel
because it's really the most reliable thing we have for gold.
narrator: while Monica feeds the plant...
they've got such a good cut open here at the trommel that,
you know, we really got to just push it.
narrator: ...mike loads rock trucks in the cut.
Mike: on night shift, it's very simple always
to basically double our sluicing time,
double the amount of dirt we have sending through.
the more we can keep going, the more gold we got.
Monica:
i am not feeling overly great right now,
and i kind of feel like throwing up,
but i don't want to be the reason we stop sluicing.
Michael, do you copy? Michael?
yeah, go ahead.
would you be able to come here for 5 minutes?
yeah, i'll be up there in a minute.
how's it going, Monica?
i feel like a trash panda.
to be polite, you kind of look like one, too.
if you're feeling like Monica,
why don't you head home, and i'll hop on this
and finish off the shift with it?
are you sure?
get some rest.
Mike: it's a shame my sister got sick,
but it's better to lose a night right now
than it is to have her sick for the next four.
narrator: Mike is left to run the night shift alone.
if we ain't washing dirt,
we're just going backwards, so...
what the was that sound?
that's not a healthy sound.
i better get my brother to check on that in the morning
because i ain't mechanic of the crew here.
narrator: next morning, eldest son Kevin beets
and mechanic Juan ibarra arrive at the trommel to investigate.
ah.
here it is.
right there.
there's a massive crack right on the frame.
Kevin: what?
what?
right here.
narrator: Mike's trommel is Tony's only means of catching gold.
every hour it's down costs $2,500.
okay. okay.
the gearbox frame has cracked,
so the drive gear is rammed hard against the cog on the trommel.
Tony's plan -- weld the cracked beam at the base,
then adjust the gearbox unit
to align the two gears perfectly.
Juan: this is the ideal welding conditions --
surrounded by grease and in a corner.
watch out.
narrator: Kevin grinds off the welds
attaching the gearbox to the frame.
we're trying to push this whole gearbox over a little bit
to get a little more clearance on those gears.
all right. ready, kev?
yeah. let's go.
narrator: Kevin and Juan crank the gearbox back into position.
good?
yes. ready?
after a fix costing $7,500 in lost gold,
Tony needs to keep running the night shift
to make up for lost time.
well, with Dennis rolling the rock truck yesterday,
i never made that 400-load-a-day quota,
so hopefully we can make up for it now.
narrator: co-foreman Brennan failed to haul enough pay dirt
to build a stockpile and keep the two plants running 24/7.
after Dennis' truck flipped,
Parker sends a grader to repair the road.
how's it going?oh, not too bad.
so, we've got to get 400 loads,
or our night shift is
we've got to have a lot of pay stacked up.
yeah. yeah, for sure.
like a Mountain. a Mountain?
of money! of money.
show me the money!
-show me the money! -yeah!
hey, boys, we got to get 400 loads
and then start building a Mountain down there
at the wash plant, okay?
yeah, you bet, buddy. let's get her done.
narrator: for the next 10 hours, Brennan sends rock trucks
to the plants loaded with gold-rich pay.
it's pretty crazy here today.
Brennan's trying to hit his 400 loads a day,
and we're just driving like crazy out here,
trying to keep up with him.
you know, i'm coming up on shift change right now,
and i'm just not as far as i thought i'd be.
pretty disappointing.
narrator: after working flat-out to hit the target,
the day shift is over.
hey, Brennan. so, how'd we do there today?
well, buddy,
we didn't get our 400 loads a day.
oh, you got to be kidding me!
we gave it everything we had!
oh, for sure.
see you back at camp.
money Mountain's looking more like a molehill down there.
what happened?
we were giving her hell all day long.
i know Aaron and those boys are pretty tired.
i'm trying to keep that wash plant running.
what do you want me to do, then?
i already sent the boys home.all right.
sling some fuel in this
i'll go get a truck.
you're gonna go hop in a truck?
yeah. let's get it done.
i'm not sure how i got myself roped into this,
but we've got a pay Mountain to build here,
so i'm driving truck.
Parker decided, "let's stay late here."
we're gonna need everything that we can get
to keep both those plants running.
narrator: mine boss and foreman build up the stockpile
while both wash plants run through the night.
about an hour into the night, getting done,
and i know when he's on a mission
and i'm on a mission, we can make a lot happen.
Parker: now that we've got sluicifer
and big red set up down there
side by side, they're gonna do 400 or 500 yards an hour,
and we have to be able to keep up.
and so any pay Mountain we can build right now
is gonna help us try to maintain that feed rate.
nowwe're getting somewhere.
we've got to keep pushing.
what the
lights go out? really?
what's going on there, boss?
my lights shorted out
and then just quit working completely.
well, that's not good.
i can't see Jack down there.
no, i can imagine.
but thanks for sticking around and doing that.
yeah, no problem. i'll see you back at camp.
well, let's hope we have a big-enough pile
down at the plant there to keep everything running.
we're just gonna have to wait till the daylight
in the morning and see what the results look like here.
Parker: we've got a bit of a Mountain down there!
Brennan: not too bad, eh?yeah.
i wasn't expecting that we got through that much, so...
man, those wash plants are gonna chew
through some dirt, though.oh, right.
we're gonna need every yard we can get.
that is for sure.
eh, doze?
eh, buddy?
narrator: Parker and Brennan have stockpiled enough pay
to keep big red and sluicifer running 24/7.
well, i appreciate you staying late and getting that done.
it makes a big difference.yeah, no worries.
any time. -come on.
in.
narrator: Rick ness' whole operation is at a standstill.
mechanic Carl, isolated and angry, has quit.
it's been building, and if he leaves,
we're in a pretty bad spot.
a lot of issues here
that should've been addressed earlier.
narrator: after their explosive argument,
karla has persuaded Rick and Carl to sit down and talk.
Carl: absolute joke down there, man.
right down there, right now, a joke.
and nobody wants to work, right?
that's that piss-poor attitude.
and it's like beating your head on a wall, man.
i didn't know anything about this, Carl.
i've been doing my best to try and make it work,
but the only way that i see through it is to finish,
try to learn something, and come back.
but the fact of the matter is,
i'm supposed to be part of the team, and i'm not.
rain or shine, i'm in there.
pouring rain, out there welding, right,
while everyone's sitting in their trucks, doing whatever.
it's mostly my fault, just not being hard enough on these guys
and drilling it into them.
karla: Carl, you're the backbone of this place, and...
i know, and it's just, like i say...
we need to keep you around.
like, seriously, we're pretty much done.
i'd like to think that i'm an important person,
and then when i don't get treated like i'm important...
it upsets me that you think that i don't think that.
like, right now, i'm trying to just...
survive....limp us all out of here
with our shirts on our backs, really.
and the thing is, is that we can.
like, we're definitely not gonna do what we set out to do,
but, i mean, we can get out of here,
we can all go home with gold,
and i can go home without losing any money again.
well, you see my concerns, right?
like, it...yeah, no, i get it.
i'm not saying you're not justified at all.
what do you guys want to do?
i'd like you to stay.yeah.
you know, i spoke my mind here, and i know.
i'm better. i'm sorry for being rude to you.
i apologize.
like i said, i was hot, and...
yeah, i know.
if things are gonna change, man, you know,
i'll stick around, right?right.
well, that's good to hear, and let's just go
take care of it right now. get everybody up there,
and we'll just have a little talk.
okay. works for me, buddy.
yeah? yeah.
well, thanks for coming up here, guys.
i'll try to keep this short.
it's pretty simple, really.
i mean, this is a frustrating season.
i think we can all admit that.
and the problem with that is that you can tend to check out,
and that's gonna stop.
that's the only way we're gonna get through this season.
it's the only way we're gonna remain friends,
for sake.
Carl's a good guy.
i got a lot of respect for him and what he's done.
and it's not fair.
we have to all just step up, help each other,
and do our parts.
it hasn't been working very well thus far.
until something changes, it's...
Carl: yeah, the whole "not my job" attitude --
i'm done with it, right?
so, you know, we work as a team, right?
pretty simple.
we all agree to that?
-yeah. -absolutely, man.
yes, sir.
we got a limited amount of time left.
let's finish strong.
- yeah. -absolutely.
narrator: after a week of being shut down,
the ness crew rallies, works together as a team,
and installs the hopper in just 2 hours.
she all done?yeah.
-she's done. -what do you say?
should we fire this thing up? -run her, man.
-might as well. -see if she rolls.
let's go!
the argument between Rick and Carl kind of,
i'm sure, sparked some motivation,
so we got to try and, you know, push for this last homestretch.
Carl: Rick's doing everything he told me he'd do,
and, man, that makes me happy, right?
like, so it wasn't in one ear, out the other ear.
he took it to heart, and hopefully everybody
is gonna pull their weight now.
Carl's back in action.
you know, sometimes it takes a quick brawl,
get some words out, and i think we're back to normal.
oh, they did a great job, so should be back
to business as usual, i hope.
hopefully we've got no more problems.
it's a case of "be careful where you park" when i'm around.
narrator: at honker creek,
Mike beets plays a prank on the production crew.
what the hell, man? why are you still here?
you're just gonna have to learn how to move the hauler yourself.
minnie: hi, guys.
what's happening? what's shaking?
what's going down?
narrator: after struggling to run a night shift at Mike's trommel,
the beets family gathers for the weekly gold weigh.
oh, not super-bad.
minnie: that's not great, though.
the problem is, Monica ended up getting sick about...
sometime in the night, and...
kind of pooched your week, hey, Mike?
yeah. i was hoping to get a full week in,
make up for all lost time, but...
also the gearbox. we had to realign that
maybe we should do some weighing of the gold.
Mike: well, it won't take long. let's put it that way.
narrator: with Monica and Kevin shut down,
Mike's trommel is the only source of family gold.
the patchy mega-cut has averaged 127 ounces.
10, 20, 5...
30, 35, 40...
42.58.
their total now stands at just 1,894 ounces.
this time last year, they had almost twice as much gold.
we don't have that much time left, either.
we only have about 4 or 5 weeks left, right?
if i get a chance to run a full week, 24 hours a day,
i'll make up for a lot of lost time, i think.
anyways, we'll see you guys later.
hey, guys.
-hey-o. -how you doing, buddy?
yeah, we're cooking her up.
ooh-hoo-hoo!ooh!
look at that!
that was all in one load of your truck.
can i get a burger, please?
would you like fries with that?
yeah.
and some ketchup.
you would feel bad if you, like, cut my nose open.
you know "schnabel" means "beak" in German, right?
i didn't know that.
did you know that "doumitt" in arabic means
"hung like a racehorse"?
narrator: for the first time,
Parker has had his two wash plants,
sluicifer and big red,
running crater cut pay side by side.
Mitch: it looked like quite a bit from sluicifer.
did big red have a good week, too?
we got quite a bit out of sluicifer.
yeah, big red was a little bit weak this week.
well, i mean, big red did have a little bit of downtime.
trying to keep up with both those plants,
and just everything that's going on, it's unreal.
so, you want to see how big red did?
we got to do it sooner or later.
50, 80...
100, 120.
d, where are you hiding the other jar, man?
i wish.
128.7?
-aw. -ooh.
narrator: worth $180,000.
but that ain't even an ounce an hour.
we squeezed every flake we could out of it.
that's what we got.
so that's some of the worst ground we've mined all season.
or maybe all the good stuff went to sluicifer.
how did it do?
narrator: since big red was down a shift,
the team is counting on sluicifer to pick up the slack.
well, actually, sluicifer did quite well.
man: oh, yeah.
i don't know if i can count that high.
we all think that.
man: let's see what you got.
we're at 50 already.
over 100.
130, 140...
50, 60, 70, 89.
240.8, guys.
narrator: worth $340,000.
that's more like it, huh?yeah.
the good part and the cool part
is, we broke 5,000 ounces for the season.
-ooh! -hey!
-nice! -whoo!
narrator: even with the disappointing gold weigh
from the crater cut...
Fred, you're our good-luck charm.
...Parker has hit 5,176 ounces this season,
worth over $7 million.
that's sweet. Brennan: yeah.
and we still got a lot to go.
get back on track of last year, maybe.
the best part of doing these gold weighs
is, Tony isn't, like, hovering around.
like, you wouldn't even be done with the cleanups,
and he'd be pulling in here, wanting his take.
-it was still warm in the pan. -yeah.
Tony.
i just pray you guys can keep it up.
we will. if anybody can,
i know it's you guys, though.
just keep running, and keep trucks rolling, and...
yep.
don't keep trucks rolling.
Mitch: poor choice of words there, Parker.
all right. thanks, guys.
okay, thanks.have a good night.
you too.see you guys at dinner.
you betcha.
narrator: on the next "gold rush"...
we spent a Mountain of money stripping this ground
just to watch gold go out the box.
narrator: ...parker loses gold in the battle to mine all his ground.
that's bad news.
Brennan, your track's, like, off the bank.
holy
you've got to be kidding me!
narrator: Rick's running out of time to save his season.
does that look like smoke over there?
shut it off!
and Tony turns to daughter Monica on his quest for gold.
there you go. that looks good, Monica!
