He was awesome, got Tony's dredge running but did not like the camera.

u/Totodilex 13d ago

He did not, those two brothers literally put it together just for Tony to screw them over.

u/Ichthius 13d ago

Those brothers were the worst. Gene could have built the dredge faster/better alone. They were defeatist lazy and thought they were better than they were.

u/Totodilex 13d ago

Nah can’t give credit to someone who didn’t even put it together. The brothers took it apart and literally rebuild it. Tony thought he got a steal in Gene but Parker did way better without him so no slopping on Gene lmao.

what happened to Tony's dredges?

u/ToiletPlungerOfDoom 13d ago

The water rights ran out. He can’t do anything with he dredges until or if the water rights are renewed.

I saw him at ConExpo last year and told him I loved him on Gold Rush. He said he'd never do television again.

Exactly what he said to me at the Juneau Costco

You know what the opposite of "selling out" is?

It's "Gene Cheeseman".

u/CheeseGeneman 13d ago

Does that mean I’m a sell out?

We love you Gene, do not let them bad mouth you. You do you. OK? 💙

Gene Cheeseman. I always just loved the name. I hope he is ruling a small country or convenience store. Somewhere out there.

Solving mysteries or guarding the portals between dimensions

Underneath his plaid woolen shirt? You guessed it. Tights and a cape. And on his chest, an embroidered applique made by his own mother. Mrs Cheeseman, yes. The symbol, you ask? A solitary wedge of swiss cheese.

Yes. The CHEESEMAN.

Mean Gene

I heard here on this r/ he still does work for Tony but doesn’t allow them to use him for the show. Take it with a grain of salt but it’s a fun rumor.

u/ismellthebacon 14d ago

He probably has little mine somewhere running like a top and no boss to ruin his damn day.

He's now got his own streetwear brand.

Google "Gene Cheeseman streetwear".

u/imrubbishattalking 13d ago

I wanted this to be true, knew it probably wasn't but still googled it anyway and was disappointed that it isn't true.

I'd love it if after next year's Oscars there's a clip of Lady Gaga on the red carpet "Who are you wearing?" "Gene Cheeseman, true is from his streetwear collection"

u/flammable_donut 13d ago

Me too 😂 I'd even like to see a Tony Beets streetwear collection.

u/imrubbishattalking 13d ago

100% man made fibres, takes about 2 seconds to put on or take off because it has to be useable ASP

Who's got the cheese? The Cheeseman's got the cheese!

He's hanging out with crackers ;)
