New-found respect for Parker
There was someone who joined the stream the other day talking about how Dean owed his success to Parker and how Parker "made that guy". I haven't been following either of them long enough to know how true this is, but I have seen people say Parker has been doing this for longer and if I am being honest, I do prefer Parker to Dean. No shade to Dean though, he's great too.
These kinds of questions and comments are becoming increasingly common. Some probably want a reaction out of Parker, but he always handles these questions and comments with so much grace. It is really commendable. If it's true and he really did show Dean the ropes, it's only human nature to feel a little bit disappointed and it's evident there IS disappointment when people ask him if he wants to do a 1 vs. 20 episode and he answers that Jubilee would have asked him already if they wanted him to do one. People probably expect him to take credit for Dean's success but he never does. Instead, he's always praising Dean and attributing his success to his own capabilities. Anyway, I just found this quality of Parker's quite admirable. Here's to hoping Parker gets to do his own 1 vs. 20 episode one day. 🤞🏾
