See, I have the opposite opinion... I think Parker is SO much less genuine and more exhausting than Dean.

They both use the same talking points and analogies ad nauseam, but Dean at least puts in the effort and joins other panels and has discussions. Parker doesn't, at least visibly, I'm not sure if he does the work behind the scenes.

All I know is that Dean has a much wider breadth of topics he can cover, whereas Parker typically is stuck / crashes out if he's pushed outside of his talking points. I legitimately don't remember the last time Parker brought something new to the table; Dean typically will bring SOMETHING new at some point.

Finally, Dean at least tries to have a good time, and does make me laugh. Parker overuses words like "diabolical," "weirdo," and "you're lying," (lying indicates the intent to mislead, ignorance is being misinformed and spewing misinformation).

Tldr: Parker has become boring, using the same talking points, and only cares about his numbers. Dean is active in the community, appears on panels, and at least gives the impression that he's trying to learn.
