00:00:01,605 --> 00:00:02,672
[narrator]
This time on
Master Distiller...
2
00:00:02,672 --> 00:00:04,872
-Hail to the chief.
-Hell, yeah.
3
00:00:04,872 --> 00:00:08,772
At least two
American Presidents
were known distillers.
4
00:00:08,772 --> 00:00:10,872
I cannot tell a lie.
5
00:00:10,872 --> 00:00:14,071
And many more were famous
for holding their liquor.
6
00:00:14,071 --> 00:00:15,472
I'll have what he's having.
7
00:00:15,472 --> 00:00:17,005
[belching]
8
00:00:17,005 --> 00:00:21,405
But one commander in chief
loved Georgia peach moonshine
so much
9
00:00:21,472 --> 00:00:25,405
that he campaigned
on the repeal of Prohibition.
10
00:00:25,472 --> 00:00:30,005
As liquor men, Franklin Delano
Roosevelt has got to be
everybody's favorite.
11
00:00:30,005 --> 00:00:30,171
As liquor men, Franklin Delano
Roosevelt has got to be
everybody's favorite.
12
00:00:30,171 --> 00:00:31,672
This'll knock
the President's socks off.
13
00:00:31,672 --> 00:00:34,572
Top notch
Georgia peach brandy.
14
00:00:34,572 --> 00:00:36,372
[Mark] Well, we hope so.
15
00:00:36,372 --> 00:00:41,171
Now, three returning favorites
will compete
to make a peach brandy
16
00:00:41,171 --> 00:00:44,472
worthy of the Presidential
Seal of Approval.
17
00:00:44,472 --> 00:00:45,805
Oh, that's it right there.
18
00:00:45,872 --> 00:00:46,772
It don't get no better.
19
00:00:46,772 --> 00:00:48,472
Josh, you ain't using a knife,
are you?
20
00:00:48,472 --> 00:00:50,171
No, I done
cut that finger off.
21
00:00:50,171 --> 00:00:51,505
[laughing]
22
00:00:51,505 --> 00:00:54,005
I'm making
a presidential decision.
This is my jar right here.
23
00:00:54,005 --> 00:00:56,772
This may be the best
Georgia moonshine
I've ever drank in my life.
24
00:00:56,772 --> 00:00:58,872
Just so you know, we'll be
the judge of that.
25
00:00:58,872 --> 00:01:00,005
[laughing]
26
00:01:00,005 --> 00:01:00,472
[laughing]
27
00:01:01,205 --> 00:01:02,305
[exhaling, blowing raspberry]
28
00:01:03,105 --> 00:01:04,071
[exhaling slowly]
29
00:01:08,271 --> 00:01:12,672
[fife and drum play
"America The Beautiful"]
30
00:01:17,171 --> 00:01:18,372
[Mark] What's up, guys?
31
00:01:18,372 --> 00:01:19,372
Fellas.
32
00:01:19,405 --> 00:01:22,105
[Digger] Hey, now.
About time y'all get here.
33
00:01:22,105 --> 00:01:24,105
-[Howard] Well, you know.
-Whoo!
34
00:01:24,105 --> 00:01:28,472
All right, guys. Welcome
to the most patriotic
Master Distiller yet.
35
00:01:28,472 --> 00:01:30,005
We've all got our
favorite presidents,
but as liquor men,
36
00:01:30,005 --> 00:01:31,505
We've all got our
favorite presidents,
but as liquor men,
37
00:01:31,572 --> 00:01:35,372
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
has got to be
everybody's favorite.
38
00:01:35,372 --> 00:01:40,672
FDR repealed the Volstead Act,
ending Prohibition, 1933.
39
00:01:40,672 --> 00:01:43,772
But some people,
or most people, don't know
40
00:01:43,772 --> 00:01:45,772
that there was a liquor
behind the scenes.
41
00:01:45,772 --> 00:01:48,005
Now, Howard and I,
we went down to South Georgia,
42
00:01:48,071 --> 00:01:52,672
and we found out that FDR
wasn't actually
drinking moonshine.
43
00:01:52,672 --> 00:01:54,572
He was drinking peach brandy.
44
00:01:54,572 --> 00:01:58,005
Lemme introduce you
to the 32nd President
of the United States.
45
00:01:58,005 --> 00:02:00,005
Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
46
00:02:00,005 --> 00:02:00,271
Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
47
00:02:00,271 --> 00:02:01,572
I thought this man was gone.
48
00:02:01,572 --> 00:02:04,505
Well, greetings,
and welcome to Georgia.
49
00:02:04,572 --> 00:02:06,405
-[all laughing]
-You serious?
50
00:02:07,805 --> 00:02:09,472
All right, guys. I brought you
51
00:02:09,472 --> 00:02:13,505
some FDR-approved
Georgia peach brandy.
52
00:02:13,572 --> 00:02:15,572
This is gonna get you
a starting point.
53
00:02:19,105 --> 00:02:20,472
Pretty damn good.
54
00:02:20,472 --> 00:02:21,772
That's really good.
55
00:02:23,705 --> 00:02:25,271
[Mark] That's got a taste
all its own.
56
00:02:25,271 --> 00:02:27,005
I neither can confirm nor deny
57
00:02:27,071 --> 00:02:30,005
this may be
the best Georgia moonshine
I ever drank in my life.
58
00:02:30,005 --> 00:02:30,505
this may be
the best Georgia moonshine
I ever drank in my life.
59
00:02:30,572 --> 00:02:33,672
So even though you all
brought your own
peach flavors,
60
00:02:33,672 --> 00:02:36,271
and different ways
from different parts...
61
00:02:36,271 --> 00:02:39,271
...we're still looking
for this, something similar
to this flavor, here.
62
00:02:39,872 --> 00:02:40,905
We got this, boys.
63
00:02:41,572 --> 00:02:43,005
Daggone right.
64
00:02:43,005 --> 00:02:44,071
[Kelly laughing]
65
00:02:44,071 --> 00:02:46,105
Three crooked politicians
up here.
66
00:02:46,105 --> 00:02:48,305
[all laughing]
67
00:02:48,372 --> 00:02:49,872
Well, now you know
where you need to be.
68
00:02:51,805 --> 00:02:55,505
All right, guys.
You brought your own mash
to run this peach brandy.
69
00:02:55,572 --> 00:02:57,105
You're gonna run it.
70
00:02:57,105 --> 00:02:59,171
Then you're gonna
pull some ingredients
71
00:02:59,171 --> 00:03:00,005
to make us a Prohibition-style
cocktail in honor of FDR.
72
00:03:00,005 --> 00:03:04,505
to make us a Prohibition-style
cocktail in honor of FDR.
73
00:03:04,572 --> 00:03:07,472
You've heard
all you're gonna hear
from up here in the front.
74
00:03:07,472 --> 00:03:11,472
You got four hours. Bring us
a jar of peach brandy
on this table
75
00:03:11,472 --> 00:03:14,572
that's sure to turn
a President's mind
and change history.
76
00:03:15,271 --> 00:03:17,205
Your four hours starts...
77
00:03:18,505 --> 00:03:20,472
... now. Good luck, guys.
Get with it.
78
00:03:20,472 --> 00:03:22,005
[Howard] Four hours
ain't a lotta time.
79
00:03:22,071 --> 00:03:24,005
Gotta make some
good peach shine.
80
00:03:30,271 --> 00:03:33,572
Josh, you look the most
patriotic out the bunch of ya,
though, buddy.
81
00:03:33,572 --> 00:03:35,372
I wear this shirt every day.
82
00:03:35,372 --> 00:03:37,171
-[laughing]
-I got about 15 of 'em.
83
00:03:37,171 --> 00:03:38,305
[Mark]
Your inventory's growing.
84
00:03:38,372 --> 00:03:40,005
A while ago, you said
you had eight of 'em.
85
00:03:40,071 --> 00:03:42,572
-[all laughing]
-No, I got between
10 and 15 of 'em.
86
00:03:42,572 --> 00:03:43,872
I wear 'em every day.
87
00:03:43,872 --> 00:03:45,805
[Howard]
It fits the theme of the day,
that's for certain.
88
00:03:47,171 --> 00:03:49,872
My name's Josh Owens.
I'm 45 years old.
89
00:03:49,872 --> 00:03:52,705
I'm just a good old
country boy
from Columbus, North Carolina.
90
00:03:52,772 --> 00:03:57,271
I'm a proud American.
I'm proud of who I am,
where I come from.
91
00:03:57,271 --> 00:04:00,005
I don't know everything
in the world there is to know
about the presidents,
92
00:04:00,005 --> 00:04:00,872
I don't know everything
in the world there is to know
about the presidents,
93
00:04:00,872 --> 00:04:04,105
but I do know that a lotta
presidents drank moonshine,
94
00:04:04,171 --> 00:04:06,872
and a lotta presidents
made moonshine.
95
00:04:06,872 --> 00:04:08,405
I feel like it's my duty.
96
00:04:09,872 --> 00:04:11,872
That's how peach...
[smacks lips]
97
00:04:11,872 --> 00:04:14,105
...mash supposed
to smell and taste, Kelly.
98
00:04:14,171 --> 00:04:16,772
That's the good stuff
right there. If you wanna
borrow some of mine, you can.
99
00:04:16,772 --> 00:04:18,705
I'll give you a leg up
in the competition.
100
00:04:18,772 --> 00:04:21,271
I can tell you right now
that's gonna be nasty.
101
00:04:21,271 --> 00:04:24,071
Oh, that's what they
always say, 'til they put
their lips around the jar.
102
00:04:24,071 --> 00:04:26,405
My name's Howard Thompson.
I'm 44 years old.
103
00:04:26,472 --> 00:04:28,071
I'm from Danville, Virginia.
104
00:04:28,071 --> 00:04:30,005
To be here on Presidents' Day
is a great honor
of celebration.
105
00:04:30,005 --> 00:04:30,772
To be here on Presidents' Day
is a great honor
of celebration.
106
00:04:30,772 --> 00:04:34,572
I mean, I'm here with Tim,
Tickle, Mark, Digger,
Josh, Kelly.
107
00:04:34,572 --> 00:04:39,805
All of us together to recreate
something amazing
from the history and the past.
108
00:04:39,872 --> 00:04:42,572
This'll knock the President's
socks off.
109
00:04:42,572 --> 00:04:44,872
You know, we're here today
to make some peach brandy.
110
00:04:44,872 --> 00:04:46,372
That's up my wheelhouse.
111
00:04:46,372 --> 00:04:50,105
I mean, everything I learned
from FDR and the trail
we took with Tim,
112
00:04:50,171 --> 00:04:52,372
this is going to be a steal
for me.
113
00:04:52,372 --> 00:04:54,171
These boys better
bring their competition.
114
00:04:55,972 --> 00:04:57,338
There we go.
115
00:05:01,672 --> 00:05:04,472
I went
a little different this time
with a little peach puree.
116
00:05:04,472 --> 00:05:06,171
Makes it pop
a little different.
117
00:05:06,171 --> 00:05:08,171
I found some frozen peaches.
118
00:05:08,171 --> 00:05:09,171
Those work good, too.
119
00:05:09,171 --> 00:05:12,271
I'm Kelly Williamson
from Cosby, Tennessee.
120
00:05:12,271 --> 00:05:16,405
What an honor it is to be here
today and making this recipe
121
00:05:16,472 --> 00:05:20,905
in honor of the president
who overturned Prohibition
122
00:05:20,972 --> 00:05:24,372
and made it legal
to make alcohol again
in this country.
123
00:05:24,372 --> 00:05:27,805
Brandy is not something
that I work with a lot,
124
00:05:27,872 --> 00:05:30,005
so this is gonna be
a bit of a challenge for me.
125
00:05:30,005 --> 00:05:30,071
so this is gonna be
a bit of a challenge for me.
126
00:05:30,071 --> 00:05:33,305
I hope today I can elevate
that game a little bit.
127
00:05:36,572 --> 00:05:37,572
Oh. Mmm-hmm.
128
00:05:39,805 --> 00:05:41,405
Howard, what are you doing?
129
00:05:41,472 --> 00:05:44,572
I'ma charge this thumper up
a little bit.
130
00:05:44,572 --> 00:05:48,105
My mash done got hot,
worked up a little bit,
cooked off some of the heads.
131
00:05:48,171 --> 00:05:49,905
Pour a little bit of this mash
over in here,
132
00:05:49,972 --> 00:05:51,972
that way I kick
a little more flavor
out the door.
133
00:05:53,372 --> 00:05:54,872
We can call it
the presidential punch.
134
00:05:58,372 --> 00:05:59,739
[groaning]
135
00:06:01,472 --> 00:06:03,905
[Digger] Josh? Enlighten us
what you got
going on over there.
136
00:06:03,972 --> 00:06:05,672
Tell us about that mash pit.
137
00:06:05,672 --> 00:06:10,105
[Josh] I just got a buncha
damn peach juice, and made
my mash out of peach juice.
138
00:06:10,171 --> 00:06:13,005
I didn't have any pulp,
I didn't have any peaches,
I didn't have anything
139
00:06:13,071 --> 00:06:16,005
but peach juice,
sugar and yeast.
140
00:06:16,071 --> 00:06:17,405
Proud of it?
141
00:06:17,472 --> 00:06:19,472
I mean, for what
we were working with.
142
00:06:21,605 --> 00:06:24,005
[Kelly] How bad are these pots
that scorch on the bottom?
143
00:06:25,171 --> 00:06:25,972
What?
144
00:06:26,605 --> 00:06:29,105
I ain't never
scorched one yet.
145
00:06:29,105 --> 00:06:30,005
I'm used to running with
a core in a pot. Not this way.
146
00:06:30,005 --> 00:06:32,872
I'm used to running with
a core in a pot. Not this way.
147
00:06:32,872 --> 00:06:35,171
You also used to strain it
through a daggone pineapple,
148
00:06:35,171 --> 00:06:37,171
so I mean, anything's possible
with you, Kelly.
149
00:06:37,171 --> 00:06:38,472
That's about
enough out of you.
150
00:06:38,472 --> 00:06:39,805
-[all laughing]
-I mean, damn, son.
151
00:06:39,805 --> 00:06:43,171
All of a sudden,
you wanna be picky
about how you run a still.
152
00:06:43,171 --> 00:06:47,572
You know, a year or so ago,
it was basically a flop.
153
00:06:47,572 --> 00:06:49,405
Oh, you got your straw
and everything.
154
00:06:49,472 --> 00:06:50,772
[laughing]
155
00:06:50,772 --> 00:06:52,705
Well, I will say one thing.
That's unique.
156
00:06:52,772 --> 00:06:53,672
That's pretty damn clever.
157
00:06:56,271 --> 00:06:58,472
[coughing] That's damn hot.
158
00:06:58,472 --> 00:07:00,005
[all laughing]
159
00:07:00,005 --> 00:07:00,171
[all laughing]
160
00:07:00,171 --> 00:07:03,205
[Kelly] I really
want to redeem myself
to some degree,
161
00:07:03,271 --> 00:07:06,071
and hopefully, I'm gonna
come out of it with some pride
162
00:07:06,071 --> 00:07:09,171
because I'm gonna make
a better liquor
than I did the last time.
163
00:07:09,171 --> 00:07:11,305
Kelly, tell us about
that mash pit.
164
00:07:11,372 --> 00:07:15,505
Well, you know, brandy's
never been something
that I was real good at,
165
00:07:15,572 --> 00:07:20,572
so we're just trying here
with a little bit of play
on our moonshine recipe.
166
00:07:20,572 --> 00:07:23,572
Going into this run, I didn't
know exactly what to expect.
167
00:07:23,572 --> 00:07:27,372
But my mash
was high in alcohol content,
so I could get what I needed.
168
00:07:27,372 --> 00:07:30,005
And I hope and pray
that I can pull the flavor
out of the tails,
169
00:07:30,005 --> 00:07:30,872
And I hope and pray
that I can pull the flavor
out of the tails,
170
00:07:30,872 --> 00:07:34,005
and keep a high enough proof
to make these guys happy.
171
00:07:34,071 --> 00:07:35,171
You got this, Kelly.
172
00:07:35,171 --> 00:07:37,271
[laughing]
173
00:07:37,271 --> 00:07:39,572
I'm gonna knock it
outta the park today.
174
00:07:39,572 --> 00:07:41,605
This does feel like
a presidential race
right here.
175
00:07:41,672 --> 00:07:44,271
I feel like us three
candidates going up
against each other.
176
00:07:44,271 --> 00:07:48,572
I think that you already
cheated with a leg up,
going to Georgia with Tim.
177
00:07:48,572 --> 00:07:51,305
-[all agreeing]
-And getting
a real Georgia brandy recipe.
178
00:07:51,372 --> 00:07:54,605
I kinda learned
a thing or two down there
while I had the privilege.
179
00:07:54,672 --> 00:07:58,271
Going with Tim to Georgia
to learn about
Franklin D. Roosevelt,
180
00:07:58,271 --> 00:08:00,005
everything that goes into
making a true peach brandy,
181
00:08:00,005 --> 00:08:01,372
everything that goes into
making a true peach brandy,
182
00:08:01,372 --> 00:08:02,872
everything has to be
sourced there.
183
00:08:02,872 --> 00:08:05,205
It wasn't so much
about the legacy
of the president,
184
00:08:05,271 --> 00:08:08,905
but the legacy of the
ingredients that went into
making a great peach brandy.
185
00:08:08,972 --> 00:08:11,972
You know, unfortunately, here,
today, I don't have
those peaches,
186
00:08:11,972 --> 00:08:15,105
because it's February, fellas.
You know, the peaches
ain't growing.
187
00:08:15,171 --> 00:08:18,672
So I came up with the next
best thing, a peach puree.
188
00:08:18,672 --> 00:08:23,105
And I believe this peach puree
will make any president happy,
especially FDR.
189
00:08:23,171 --> 00:08:24,472
[Mark] That's good.
190
00:08:24,472 --> 00:08:27,105
All right, guys, you burned
one hour. You got three left.
191
00:08:30,805 --> 00:08:32,205
What are you, cleaning up
your charcoal?
192
00:08:32,271 --> 00:08:34,872
[laughing] Dang.
193
00:08:34,872 --> 00:08:37,205
[Kelly] I'm gonna
get mine tasting
a little bit of charred.
194
00:08:37,271 --> 00:08:39,205
I believe so.
195
00:08:39,271 --> 00:08:41,105
Well,
that's the wrong charred.
196
00:08:41,105 --> 00:08:43,372
If you think I'm doing
something special,
197
00:08:43,372 --> 00:08:46,672
I'm just rinsing off
the charcoal before
I pour it in, to filter it.
198
00:08:47,472 --> 00:08:48,672
All right. That's one way
to do it.
199
00:08:48,672 --> 00:08:51,805
-Only a dab'll do with that.
-[laughing]
200
00:08:53,605 --> 00:08:55,305
That's what you call
blackened.
201
00:08:55,372 --> 00:08:56,672
[laughing] Yeah.
202
00:08:56,672 --> 00:08:58,271
Turn in a jar like that,
Kelly.
203
00:08:58,271 --> 00:08:59,672
[laughing]
204
00:09:03,872 --> 00:09:05,872
I wondered how much longer
you would keep stirring
all that juice.
205
00:09:05,872 --> 00:09:06,905
It ain't hot yet.
206
00:09:07,572 --> 00:09:08,905
Dang, boys.
207
00:09:08,972 --> 00:09:10,505
What kinda temperature
you got going?
208
00:09:10,572 --> 00:09:11,305
160.
209
00:09:11,872 --> 00:09:13,305
Little above 160, 170.
210
00:09:13,905 --> 00:09:15,105
How about you, Josh?
211
00:09:15,171 --> 00:09:18,271
Well, I filled my still up to
about right there.
212
00:09:18,271 --> 00:09:19,805
[Howard] Oh, that's gonna
take a little while
to heat that one up.
213
00:09:19,872 --> 00:09:21,572
So it's gonna take
a little while
for it to get hot.
214
00:09:21,572 --> 00:09:23,405
Josh put 30 gallons in there.
215
00:09:23,472 --> 00:09:25,105
-I filled mine up.
-[all laughing]
216
00:09:25,105 --> 00:09:26,705
You know Josh
is gonna fill his up.
217
00:09:27,572 --> 00:09:29,271
You gotta fill your still up.
218
00:09:30,205 --> 00:09:31,772
I'm making liquor, boys.
219
00:09:31,772 --> 00:09:34,305
That right there is gonna be
the one right there.
That is a good jar.
220
00:09:34,372 --> 00:09:36,271
That's the first one
coming out. It's only
gonna get better.
221
00:09:37,105 --> 00:09:38,372
I got liquor now.
222
00:09:38,372 --> 00:09:40,005
Oh, yeah.
223
00:09:40,005 --> 00:09:43,572
How the hell y'all already
running liquor?
I'm way behind.
224
00:09:47,972 --> 00:09:50,271
How the hell y'all
already running liquor?
I'm way behind.
225
00:09:51,739 --> 00:09:54,071
-What kinda temperature
you got going?
-170.
226
00:09:54,872 --> 00:09:56,071
How about you, Josh?
227
00:09:56,071 --> 00:09:58,372
Well, I filled my still
up to about...
228
00:09:58,372 --> 00:09:59,472
...right there.
229
00:09:59,472 --> 00:10:00,772
Oh, that's gonna take a while
to heat that one up.
230
00:10:00,772 --> 00:10:02,171
So it's gonna take
a little while
for it to get hot,
231
00:10:02,171 --> 00:10:03,772
but I'm hot
to the arm right here.
232
00:10:04,739 --> 00:10:07,605
Far as a plan,
I just, I wing it.
233
00:10:07,672 --> 00:10:10,271
A, a lot of times I wing it.
I'm kinda like
the master of winging it.
234
00:10:10,772 --> 00:10:12,572
[Josh] The heat's up.
235
00:10:12,572 --> 00:10:15,372
Here, lemme get some,
we'll drink some
[bleep] out of it.
236
00:10:20,572 --> 00:10:24,672
You know, every time
I come in here, Howard,
I fill the [bleep] vat full,
237
00:10:24,672 --> 00:10:26,205
'cause that's the way
I'm supposed to do it.
238
00:10:26,271 --> 00:10:27,839
Yeah. [laughing]
239
00:10:27,839 --> 00:10:30,372
I keep forgetting that we're
on a time frame, we're in
a hurry, you know?
240
00:10:30,372 --> 00:10:32,105
[both laughing]
241
00:10:32,171 --> 00:10:35,772
Guys, you burned two hours.
You got two left.
242
00:10:35,772 --> 00:10:38,405
Boys, this ain't how
I normally
make my peach brandy.
243
00:10:38,472 --> 00:10:40,739
We use bushels of peaches
to get our flavor.
244
00:10:40,739 --> 00:10:43,872
-[both agreeing]
-Exactly. And there's...
bushel season's gone.
245
00:10:43,939 --> 00:10:46,057
And you can't just use
just any peaches.
246
00:10:46,057 --> 00:10:46,071
And you can't just use
just any peaches.
247
00:10:46,071 --> 00:10:47,505
[Howard] Uh-uh.
248
00:10:47,505 --> 00:10:50,839
I mean, you get the seconds
or whatever, the beat-up
fruit, you know?
249
00:10:50,839 --> 00:10:52,271
Yeah, which is actually
the best fruit.
250
00:10:52,271 --> 00:10:54,872
It's gotta be a fruit
with a high sugar content
in it.
251
00:10:54,939 --> 00:10:58,372
If it's dried out, or it ain't
juicy and it ain't
got a lotta sugar in it,
252
00:10:58,372 --> 00:11:00,572
you ain't gonna have
no turnout.
253
00:11:00,572 --> 00:11:03,572
I don't know. I mean, I think
with the sugar content
and the puree that I had,
254
00:11:03,572 --> 00:11:05,572
the peach, peach blend
I had...
255
00:11:05,572 --> 00:11:10,572
...it came up good. I mean,
it, it was a high alcohol
proof, that's for certain.
256
00:11:10,572 --> 00:11:12,872
Yeah, that's, I had
a good high alcohol content,
257
00:11:12,872 --> 00:11:15,271
but I just don't know
what the flavor is gonna be.
258
00:11:15,271 --> 00:11:16,057
I'm finally thumping.
259
00:11:16,057 --> 00:11:16,972
I'm finally thumping.
260
00:11:16,972 --> 00:11:19,405
-[still thumping]
-[Howard] Oh, yeah.
Now, we're dancing.
261
00:11:19,472 --> 00:11:21,372
That's the presidential pop
right there, boy.
262
00:11:22,372 --> 00:11:24,472
Guess why they call it
a thump keg.
263
00:11:24,472 --> 00:11:26,071
-Yeah.
-You guys wanna try
a jar of real good.
264
00:11:26,071 --> 00:11:27,739
This is really good.
265
00:11:27,739 --> 00:11:28,672
[Howard] Lemme get
a little nip of that.
266
00:11:29,472 --> 00:11:32,038
It's got a, it's got
a smell to it.
267
00:11:32,038 --> 00:11:33,472
-[coughing]
-[Josh] Yeah, she's stout.
268
00:11:33,472 --> 00:11:35,138
That ain't, that ain't
a bad jar, man.
269
00:11:35,171 --> 00:11:37,372
I'm gonna give you
a hard time, but really that's
good peach brandy right there.
270
00:11:37,372 --> 00:11:39,038
I mean, that is smooth.
271
00:11:39,038 --> 00:11:43,972
I just wish I'da had
a real peach I coulda hollowed
out and run a straw through.
272
00:11:43,972 --> 00:11:45,472
-[laughing]
-[Josh] We do too, Kelly.
273
00:11:45,472 --> 00:11:46,057
[all laughing]
274
00:11:46,057 --> 00:11:47,605
[all laughing]
275
00:11:47,672 --> 00:11:51,038
It didn't work for pineapple.
Surely, it might work
for a peach.
276
00:11:51,038 --> 00:11:52,872
[Howard] I mean, Kelly.
277
00:11:52,872 --> 00:11:55,038
I hope you get it right
with as many jars
as you got there, old buddy.
278
00:11:55,038 --> 00:11:56,572
I mean, my word.
279
00:11:56,572 --> 00:11:59,205
It's all about
choosing the right jar
or the right mixture.
280
00:11:59,271 --> 00:12:00,605
She finally started to run.
281
00:12:01,572 --> 00:12:02,739
-Oh, yeah?
-Oh, you got something coming?
282
00:12:02,739 --> 00:12:05,271
Yeah.
283
00:12:05,271 --> 00:12:07,605
[Howard] Man, I thought I was
gonna have to give you
a jar to turn in, old buddy.
284
00:12:10,171 --> 00:12:12,271
[Digger] I notice Howard
doing a little blend.
285
00:12:12,271 --> 00:12:14,505
I'm very happy
with the results.
286
00:12:14,572 --> 00:12:16,057
I mean, I feel like I'm gonna
have to do a little blending
287
00:12:16,057 --> 00:12:16,672
I mean, I feel like I'm gonna
have to do a little blending
288
00:12:16,739 --> 00:12:18,739
to get that perfect jar
for the judges,
289
00:12:18,739 --> 00:12:21,739
because I got the proof there
and I've got the taste.
290
00:12:21,739 --> 00:12:23,672
It's just about making
them two married,
291
00:12:23,739 --> 00:12:25,472
and turning in the best
presidential candidate.
292
00:12:29,772 --> 00:12:30,839
I wanna try that there.
293
00:12:32,271 --> 00:12:34,205
That's something old FDR'd
be proud of.
294
00:12:40,105 --> 00:12:41,271
[Howard]
I got the jar right here.
295
00:12:42,005 --> 00:12:43,105
I like to share the love.
296
00:12:44,405 --> 00:12:45,605
Tell me what you think
about that right there.
297
00:12:47,405 --> 00:12:49,038
Tastes just like that [bleep]
I made.
298
00:12:50,305 --> 00:12:52,372
-[laughing]
-Well, that's some good stuff
you made, then.
299
00:12:54,171 --> 00:12:55,171
I'm happy with it.
300
00:12:55,171 --> 00:12:57,271
[laughing]
301
00:12:57,271 --> 00:12:59,772
This is the presidential jar
right here.
This is the winner.
302
00:12:59,839 --> 00:13:01,672
You busy over there
autographing yours,
303
00:13:01,672 --> 00:13:03,572
I'ma turn in the winner
right now, Josh.
304
00:13:03,572 --> 00:13:05,105
Kelly. Good luck.
305
00:13:05,105 --> 00:13:06,572
[laughing] Good luck to you,
brother.
306
00:13:07,205 --> 00:13:08,772
Fellas, I hope you enjoy.
307
00:13:08,839 --> 00:13:11,005
-That it?
-That's a pretty good
base spirit right here.
308
00:13:11,005 --> 00:13:13,171
I think this will give us
a good start
to a great cocktail.
309
00:13:13,171 --> 00:13:14,939
-[Mark] All right.
-That'll work.
310
00:13:16,038 --> 00:13:16,057
Here you go, guys.
That's gonna be it.
311
00:13:16,057 --> 00:13:18,605
Here you go, guys.
That's gonna be it.
312
00:13:18,672 --> 00:13:21,271
Top notch
Georgia peach brandy.
313
00:13:21,271 --> 00:13:24,672
We hope so. Just so you know,
we'll be the judge of that.
314
00:13:24,672 --> 00:13:27,372
-Thank you, sir.
-[all laughing]
315
00:13:27,372 --> 00:13:30,939
Boys, I'm making
a presidential decision.
This is my jar right here.
316
00:13:32,505 --> 00:13:33,872
-That's the one?
-That's the one.
317
00:13:35,205 --> 00:13:37,105
This is the jar right here,
y'all.
318
00:13:37,105 --> 00:13:38,772
[Mark] Bring it in here,
brother.
319
00:13:38,839 --> 00:13:43,038
All right. Go ahead and hit
that box back yonder
and relax a little bit.
320
00:13:44,005 --> 00:13:45,405
There you go, men.
321
00:13:45,405 --> 00:13:46,057
Y'all chill out, cool ya jets,
we're gonna do
a little drinking.
322
00:13:46,057 --> 00:13:48,972
Y'all chill out, cool ya jets,
we're gonna do
a little drinking.
323
00:13:48,972 --> 00:13:51,772
We'll bring you back
a presidential verdict.
324
00:13:53,872 --> 00:13:57,005
Well, guys, you know,
I let those guys taste
325
00:13:57,005 --> 00:14:00,772
some FDR-approved
Georgia peach brandy.
326
00:14:00,772 --> 00:14:03,205
-So we give them
our benchmark.
-Right.
327
00:14:03,271 --> 00:14:07,372
So hopefully, one of these
guys has got close to that.
328
00:14:07,372 --> 00:14:10,472
Honestly, all we can expect
from 'em is close.
329
00:14:10,472 --> 00:14:13,271
-Yeah.
-Because they didn't have
the Georgia peaches
330
00:14:13,271 --> 00:14:15,672
and they didn't have
the Georgia water.
331
00:14:15,672 --> 00:14:16,057
But they know what they're
trying to get to now.
332
00:14:16,057 --> 00:14:18,038
But they know what they're
trying to get to now.
333
00:14:18,038 --> 00:14:20,271
That's right.
Well, first jar's Kelly.
334
00:14:21,872 --> 00:14:27,071
-Now, Kelly, they, am I right?
He was using frozen peaches.
-Frozen. Yeah.
335
00:14:27,071 --> 00:14:29,105
Yeah. Clear jar.
336
00:14:29,872 --> 00:14:31,171
All right.
337
00:14:31,171 --> 00:14:34,872
Now, I didn't taste
that FDR brandy, of course.
338
00:14:35,772 --> 00:14:38,505
Was it somewhere
around 100 proof?
339
00:14:38,572 --> 00:14:42,205
-Yeah. Around 100 proof.
-Round 100 proof.
340
00:14:42,271 --> 00:14:46,057
I tasted yours, Kelly,
I tasted yours, Josh.
And they were all three great.
341
00:14:46,057 --> 00:14:46,305
I tasted yours, Kelly,
I tasted yours, Josh.
And they were all three great.
342
00:14:46,372 --> 00:14:49,105
Even though you never done it
before, you still
pulled it off pretty...
343
00:14:49,171 --> 00:14:51,105
And you ran, like,
a ton of jars.
344
00:14:51,105 --> 00:14:53,271
-A lot of jars.
-I got 37 jars of moonshine
345
00:14:53,271 --> 00:14:57,071
that don't taste exactly
like peach, though.
That's my problem.
346
00:14:58,205 --> 00:15:02,271
-I wanna put Kelly
at 80, 85 proof.
-Yeah.
347
00:15:02,271 --> 00:15:03,772
Kinda light on the nose,
though.
348
00:15:03,839 --> 00:15:06,405
Well, boy, it's heavy
on the flavor, though.
349
00:15:06,472 --> 00:15:09,872
It's way heavy on the flavor.
That's good,
even if Kelly did make it.
350
00:15:09,872 --> 00:15:12,505
-[laughing]
-[Tim] I know.
How in the world?
351
00:15:13,305 --> 00:15:15,372
He made that
with frozen peaches.
352
00:15:15,372 --> 00:15:16,057
-[Digger] Frozen peaches.
-He did.
353
00:15:16,057 --> 00:15:16,705
-[Digger] Frozen peaches.
-He did.
354
00:15:16,739 --> 00:15:19,872
-It's real smooth.
-It is. I mean,
it's got zero fire in it.
355
00:15:19,939 --> 00:15:21,372
None
on the back of your tongue.
356
00:15:21,372 --> 00:15:24,305
I mean, it's got backbone
all the way to the end.
357
00:15:24,372 --> 00:15:26,171
But it's got
so much flavor in it.
358
00:15:26,171 --> 00:15:27,505
[Mark]
It's got a lotta flavor.
359
00:15:27,572 --> 00:15:29,372
You can tell it's got
alcy-hol in it, though.
360
00:15:29,372 --> 00:15:30,372
Wow.
361
00:15:30,372 --> 00:15:32,372
Kelly done a good job.
362
00:15:32,372 --> 00:15:35,205
And now, when it comes
to Kelly, though,
you know, he,
363
00:15:35,271 --> 00:15:38,105
he's got a top rate jar
right there,
364
00:15:38,171 --> 00:15:41,271
but he's been known
to screw stuff up as you
go on around the corner.
365
00:15:41,271 --> 00:15:43,972
I'ma telling you, he's
a wild card,
and I'm scared to death,
366
00:15:43,972 --> 00:15:46,057
that he can take that
first rate jar of peach brandy
right there...
367
00:15:46,057 --> 00:15:47,372
that he can take that
first rate jar of peach brandy
right there...
368
00:15:47,372 --> 00:15:48,505
Turn it into slop.
369
00:15:48,572 --> 00:15:49,972
And ruin it.
370
00:15:49,972 --> 00:15:52,672
All right.
Let's try Mr. Owens'.
371
00:15:52,672 --> 00:15:55,171
Don't know how to even
hold it, it's got
so much stuff on it.
372
00:15:55,171 --> 00:15:56,205
[Digger]
And what's it made out of?
373
00:15:56,271 --> 00:15:58,472
Peach. Peach juice, here.
374
00:15:58,472 --> 00:16:00,872
Juice. That's concerning.
375
00:16:00,939 --> 00:16:04,872
'Cause a lotta times, if it's,
if it's grocery store
peach juice...
376
00:16:04,872 --> 00:16:06,772
There ain't a whole buncha
flavor in it to start with.
377
00:16:06,839 --> 00:16:09,171
[Digger] And it's got too many
preservatives in it.
378
00:16:09,171 --> 00:16:11,739
Well, he got it, obviously,
to ferment.
379
00:16:12,372 --> 00:16:13,739
Peach juice.
380
00:16:15,572 --> 00:16:16,057
I mean, he's got
some big bubbles up in it.
381
00:16:16,057 --> 00:16:17,572
I mean, he's got
some big bubbles up in it.
382
00:16:18,972 --> 00:16:20,505
He's 90, 95 proof, ain't he?
383
00:16:20,505 --> 00:16:23,271
-[Digger] Yeah, he's up there.
He's definitely up there.
-[Mark] Mmm-hmm.
384
00:16:23,271 --> 00:16:25,205
He's obviously got
some octane in it.
385
00:16:25,271 --> 00:16:26,505
[Mark] He does, yeah.
386
00:16:27,572 --> 00:16:30,005
For what we got, I think
we all made a solid drink.
387
00:16:30,005 --> 00:16:34,271
I feel pretty good we made it
outta [bleep] we never made it
out of before.
388
00:16:34,271 --> 00:16:36,405
-[Howard] Yeah.
-And we didn't
have ingredients
389
00:16:36,472 --> 00:16:38,005
that we'd normally use.
390
00:16:38,005 --> 00:16:39,772
Anxious to see what happens.
391
00:16:40,472 --> 00:16:42,939
Not much on the nose.
392
00:16:42,939 --> 00:16:44,472
No, but it's got
some alcohol in it, though.
393
00:16:44,472 --> 00:16:45,739
It's got alcohol in it.
394
00:16:48,005 --> 00:16:49,372
There's a little bit of peach
in there.
395
00:16:49,372 --> 00:16:50,538
-Yeah.
-But it ain't got a lot.
396
00:16:50,572 --> 00:16:52,405
Yeah, he's got more alcohol
than he's got peach on it.
397
00:16:52,472 --> 00:16:53,472
-Yeah.
-Yeah, he does.
398
00:16:53,472 --> 00:16:55,271
-He lost the flavor.
-Yeah.
399
00:16:55,271 --> 00:16:58,005
Yeah, he's got the proof,
there, but again, you know,
he's working with peach juice.
400
00:16:58,005 --> 00:16:59,672
Kelly was working
with peaches.
401
00:16:59,672 --> 00:17:00,739
-Yeah.
-Now, that...
402
00:17:00,739 --> 00:17:03,672
Kelly's got, got flavor.
But no alcohol.
403
00:17:03,672 --> 00:17:06,372
And here's Josh with a lot of
alcohol and no flavor.
404
00:17:06,372 --> 00:17:08,071
It's not a bad liquor at all.
405
00:17:08,071 --> 00:17:11,105
-No, it's interesting.
-It's just not a peach liquor,
really, in my book.
406
00:17:11,171 --> 00:17:12,872
-It's almost like moonshine.
-Yeah.
407
00:17:12,939 --> 00:17:15,472
-And there's a little bitty
touch of peach there.
-Oh, yeah.
408
00:17:15,472 --> 00:17:16,057
[Mark] I mean,
there's not much.
409
00:17:16,057 --> 00:17:16,605
[Mark] I mean,
there's not much.
410
00:17:16,672 --> 00:17:18,271
He knows how to make liquor,
man.
411
00:17:18,271 --> 00:17:19,372
-[both agreeing]
-No doubt about that.
412
00:17:19,372 --> 00:17:20,772
He did a good job.
413
00:17:20,772 --> 00:17:21,939
It's good. I'm proud of it.
414
00:17:21,939 --> 00:17:24,572
But let's see what he does
on that cocktail.
415
00:17:24,572 --> 00:17:26,772
-[Mark] All right.
-All right.
Time for Howard Johnson.
416
00:17:26,772 --> 00:17:28,405
I think it's really clear,
417
00:17:28,472 --> 00:17:32,271
but it's hard to tell
with all the fingertip prints
and slobbers on the jar.
418
00:17:32,271 --> 00:17:33,739
Really dirty jar.
419
00:17:33,739 --> 00:17:36,872
-[Mark] All right.
-Yeah, he gets bad marks for
cleaning his jar up.
420
00:17:36,872 --> 00:17:37,805
[Mark] I tell you what.
421
00:17:40,271 --> 00:17:42,171
And it's slick on the bottom,
too, boy.
422
00:17:42,972 --> 00:17:45,038
Some snot on it.
423
00:17:45,038 --> 00:17:46,057
-[Digger] Mmm-hmm.
-That looks high proof, too.
424
00:17:46,057 --> 00:17:47,071
-[Digger] Mmm-hmm.
-That looks high proof, too.
425
00:17:47,071 --> 00:17:48,805
[Mark] Maybe so.
426
00:17:48,805 --> 00:17:51,872
That thumper is my saving
grace. And that's what I been
learning about doing this,
427
00:17:51,939 --> 00:17:54,271
these challenges,
that what I charge and put in
that thumper,
428
00:17:54,271 --> 00:17:56,672
allows me to bring out a good,
refined, great product.
429
00:17:56,739 --> 00:17:59,772
I'ma tell you, though, I feel
like I made a jar
that a president will love.
430
00:17:59,772 --> 00:18:03,372
I'm really proud of Howard.
Howard in the last
two or three years,
431
00:18:03,372 --> 00:18:06,739
-he's come a long way
in his distilling technique.
-He's come a long ways.
432
00:18:06,739 --> 00:18:07,939
[Mark] He's,
he's learned a lot.
433
00:18:07,972 --> 00:18:11,171
That's really good and peachy
on the nose. Really good.
434
00:18:11,171 --> 00:18:14,038
That's really clear, now.
Once I got it in this jar.
435
00:18:14,038 --> 00:18:15,205
-[laughing]
-[both agreeing]
436
00:18:15,271 --> 00:18:16,057
Yeah, that's a real nice jar,
now, Tim. Yeah.
437
00:18:16,057 --> 00:18:17,772
Yeah, that's a real nice jar,
now, Tim. Yeah.
438
00:18:17,839 --> 00:18:19,305
Plenty of peach flavor
on it. Ohh.
439
00:18:19,372 --> 00:18:20,372
He's got peach, too.
440
00:18:20,372 --> 00:18:22,105
He's good.
441
00:18:22,105 --> 00:18:24,472
Yeah. Oh, he's got
a lotta flavor, but it's
a little lower proof
442
00:18:24,472 --> 00:18:26,005
than I originally
thought it would be.
443
00:18:26,005 --> 00:18:29,071
-[Mark] Yeah.
-It falls off a little
too fast on the back end.
444
00:18:29,071 --> 00:18:30,105
Howard used, what?
445
00:18:31,171 --> 00:18:33,405
-That pre... puree.
-Yeah, puree.
446
00:18:33,472 --> 00:18:34,605
It's kinda like...
447
00:18:34,672 --> 00:18:36,205
-[Tim] Apple sauce.
-[Mark] ...tomato paste puree.
448
00:18:36,271 --> 00:18:38,772
-Yeah, you bet
five gallon buckets.
-Okay.
449
00:18:38,839 --> 00:18:40,939
You know, I really had
high hopes for Howard,
450
00:18:40,939 --> 00:18:43,105
because, you know,
Howard runs with me
a whole lot,
451
00:18:43,171 --> 00:18:44,772
we was in Georgia together.
452
00:18:44,772 --> 00:18:46,057
I think he did a good job in,
in making a peach brandy.
453
00:18:46,057 --> 00:18:47,071
I think he did a good job in,
in making a peach brandy.
454
00:18:47,071 --> 00:18:48,105
I do, I agree.
455
00:18:48,105 --> 00:18:51,071
But the presentation
of that jar right there...
456
00:18:51,071 --> 00:18:53,105
-...it's terrible.
-That's worst we've ever seen,
ain't it?
457
00:18:53,171 --> 00:18:54,672
I mean, I got slime
all over me.
458
00:18:54,672 --> 00:18:58,271
Josh's is written all over,
and it still looks better
than Howard's.
459
00:18:58,271 --> 00:19:01,772
-Yeah.
-I'm gonna say this about
all three of them rascals.
460
00:19:01,839 --> 00:19:05,972
They've all done a great job
to not have no fresh peaches.
461
00:19:05,972 --> 00:19:07,472
-Yeah.
-[Mark] I'm proud of 'em.
462
00:19:07,472 --> 00:19:09,071
[Tim] They made
a good peach brandy.
463
00:19:09,071 --> 00:19:12,772
Well, honestly, guys,
I feel confident in my vote.
464
00:19:12,839 --> 00:19:14,472
I know who I'm voting for.
465
00:19:14,472 --> 00:19:16,057
I've got my mind rock solid.
466
00:19:16,057 --> 00:19:16,472
I've got my mind rock solid.
467
00:19:26,772 --> 00:19:28,572
Our president appears.
468
00:19:28,572 --> 00:19:30,038
[laughing]
469
00:19:31,572 --> 00:19:34,472
[Josh]
2024 presidential candidates.
470
00:19:34,472 --> 00:19:37,472
-[Digger laughing]
-[Mark] All right, guys.
Come on up and get your jars.
471
00:19:37,472 --> 00:19:39,038
-[Howard] Whoo!
-[Josh] Oh.
472
00:19:39,038 --> 00:19:39,839
[Mark] And go back
to ya spots.
473
00:19:46,772 --> 00:19:48,271
All right, guys.
474
00:19:48,271 --> 00:19:51,572
We drank all we could stood
of that presidential liquor
right there.
475
00:19:52,772 --> 00:19:56,038
There wasn't a bad taste
in the whole lot.
476
00:19:56,038 --> 00:19:59,438
I'm telling ya, everybody
brought their A game
on this run.
477
00:19:59,438 --> 00:20:05,138
You know, I gave you
samples of FDR's
presidential peach brandy.
478
00:20:05,138 --> 00:20:07,639
That way, you had a benchmark
to where you could go.
479
00:20:07,639 --> 00:20:11,672
And I think all three of you
did a great job, especially
for what you was working with.
480
00:20:11,672 --> 00:20:13,839
-'Cause none of you
had Georgia peaches.
-Right.
481
00:20:13,839 --> 00:20:16,672
And all three of you brought
something from home
from different directions.
482
00:20:18,071 --> 00:20:22,199
Kelly. Peach on the nose,
peach at the back.
483
00:20:22,199 --> 00:20:22,639
Kelly. Peach on the nose,
peach at the back.
484
00:20:22,639 --> 00:20:26,572
The only fault we could find
in yours was, uh,
485
00:20:26,639 --> 00:20:29,105
you were just a little bit
shy on alcohol.
486
00:20:29,105 --> 00:20:32,372
Brandies are supposed to be
in the 60 to 80 range,
487
00:20:32,438 --> 00:20:34,171
but we still like
that benchmark of 100 proof,
488
00:20:34,238 --> 00:20:36,105
where we can know
we're biting into something.
489
00:20:36,105 --> 00:20:39,472
You brought the flavor.
Through and through.
A lotta flavor.
490
00:20:39,538 --> 00:20:43,338
I got one recommendation
for ya, and I'm gonna
leave it at that.
491
00:20:43,338 --> 00:20:45,238
When you're making
your cocktail,
492
00:20:45,238 --> 00:20:48,639
put double the liquor in it,
so you don't get it too low.
493
00:20:48,639 --> 00:20:52,038
Because the flavor's there,
but the proof's not.
494
00:20:52,038 --> 00:20:52,199
Duly noted.
495
00:20:52,199 --> 00:20:53,138
Duly noted.
496
00:20:54,438 --> 00:20:55,372
Howard.
497
00:20:56,238 --> 00:20:59,972
Had flavor. You had proof.
498
00:21:00,772 --> 00:21:03,872
Uh, you brought us
a nasty jar.
499
00:21:03,872 --> 00:21:06,972
I mean, it looked like
you'd been sitting there
licking the outside of the jar
500
00:21:06,972 --> 00:21:09,271
-with honey in ya mouth.
-[laughing]
501
00:21:09,338 --> 00:21:12,138
Uh... So disappointed,
I tell ya.
502
00:21:12,138 --> 00:21:13,872
-You know?
-Aww.
503
00:21:13,872 --> 00:21:16,338
Everything's marketability
that comes into here.
504
00:21:16,338 --> 00:21:18,839
If you looked at that jar,
would you buy one
and come back?
505
00:21:18,839 --> 00:21:20,772
Well, if you
looked at that jar
the way you brought it,
506
00:21:20,839 --> 00:21:22,199
you wouldn't even wanna
poke it over with the stick
to scoot it outta the way
507
00:21:22,199 --> 00:21:23,071
you wouldn't even wanna
poke it over with the stick
to scoot it outta the way
508
00:21:23,071 --> 00:21:24,438
to get another jar of liquor.
509
00:21:24,438 --> 00:21:25,839
God almighty.
510
00:21:25,839 --> 00:21:27,972
-I mean, just saying.
-Yeah, I gotta work
on presentation.
511
00:21:27,972 --> 00:21:30,038
-Yeah, that.
-[laughing]
512
00:21:30,038 --> 00:21:31,972
You're serving to a president,
here.
513
00:21:31,972 --> 00:21:33,372
So let's, let's up your game
a little bit.
514
00:21:33,372 --> 00:21:34,438
Okay.
515
00:21:34,472 --> 00:21:38,005
You know, you brought a good,
good peach flavor.
516
00:21:38,005 --> 00:21:42,672
Good proof. You know, it's,
uh, it's really something
to be proud of,
517
00:21:42,739 --> 00:21:45,105
if, uh, you know, you just
wasn't messy Marv.
518
00:21:45,105 --> 00:21:46,672
-[all laughing]
-But that's...
519
00:21:47,572 --> 00:21:49,639
Josh.
520
00:21:49,639 --> 00:21:52,199
Plenty of liquor. I mean,
you get in there, you knew
what ya had.
521
00:21:52,199 --> 00:21:53,939
Plenty of liquor. I mean,
you get in there, you knew
what ya had.
522
00:21:53,939 --> 00:21:56,572
You had alcy-hol. Good flavor.
523
00:21:56,572 --> 00:21:59,939
But it fell off so fast.
And you said you used juice,
didn't you?
524
00:22:01,271 --> 00:22:04,538
Maybe that's all the flavor
that that juice would produce.
525
00:22:04,538 --> 00:22:08,271
You work with what you have.
That's what moonshiners do.
526
00:22:08,338 --> 00:22:11,572
But still, I mean, that's
a fine drink right there,
brother. Good job.
527
00:22:12,639 --> 00:22:14,939
And Josh, yours was
a little bit higher proof,
528
00:22:14,939 --> 00:22:17,872
which is good, in a way,
because later on, you're
making a cocktail.
529
00:22:17,872 --> 00:22:19,405
You got
something
to work with.
530
00:22:19,405 --> 00:22:22,199
You ran your still good,
you made a good cut,
and, uh, that's a good jar.
531
00:22:22,199 --> 00:22:22,872
You ran your still good,
you made a good cut,
and, uh, that's a good jar.
532
00:22:22,872 --> 00:22:24,271
Thank you.
533
00:22:24,338 --> 00:22:27,005
And all three of you guys,
great job.
534
00:22:27,005 --> 00:22:29,472
-Knocked it
out of the ballpark.
-Thank you.
535
00:22:29,472 --> 00:22:32,872
So guys, you know
at the end of the day,
nobody's going home.
536
00:22:32,939 --> 00:22:35,939
We're just giving you
the order in which you're
gonna go to the beverage cart
537
00:22:35,939 --> 00:22:38,639
to get what you need
to build your cocktail.
538
00:22:38,639 --> 00:22:42,271
I'm gonna give you a order,
then Tim's gonna
take care of the rest.
539
00:22:42,338 --> 00:22:44,472
As it stands...
540
00:22:44,472 --> 00:22:46,572
...Kelly, you're number one
to the cart,
541
00:22:46,572 --> 00:22:48,238
Howard, you're number two
to the cart,
542
00:22:48,238 --> 00:22:50,071
Josh, you're bringing up
the caboose.
543
00:22:51,372 --> 00:22:52,199
Guys, you know, you did
a good job so far.
544
00:22:52,199 --> 00:22:53,872
Guys, you know, you did
a good job so far.
545
00:22:53,939 --> 00:22:57,372
But instead of you
going to get the ingredients
and going somewhere else,
546
00:22:57,372 --> 00:22:59,438
we're gonna bring
the ingredients to you.
547
00:22:59,438 --> 00:23:04,105
So I think it's only
appropriate that one of our
prime presidential candidates
548
00:23:04,105 --> 00:23:07,672
bring you the ingredients
right here
for you to pick from.
549
00:23:08,271 --> 00:23:09,271
Tickle!
550
00:23:09,271 --> 00:23:11,238
[all laughing]
551
00:23:15,472 --> 00:23:16,972
How y'all doing?
552
00:23:16,972 --> 00:23:20,839
-You running for office?
-Yeah. Yeah, just on
a smaller scale, I reckon.
553
00:23:20,839 --> 00:23:22,199
What do you wanna do
about the moonshine?
554
00:23:22,199 --> 00:23:22,205
What do you wanna do
about the moonshine?
555
00:23:22,205 --> 00:23:24,572
What am I gonna do
about the moonshine?
I'm gonna make it legal.
556
00:23:24,639 --> 00:23:26,739
Everybody gets a sip.
557
00:23:26,739 --> 00:23:29,271
So the presidential race
didn't work out for you
in 2016,
558
00:23:29,271 --> 00:23:30,872
so now you back
to pushing carts?
559
00:23:30,872 --> 00:23:32,872
-[all laughing]
-Well, that's 'cause
I didn't run in 2016, Howard.
560
00:23:33,438 --> 00:23:35,138
I ran in 2012.
561
00:23:35,138 --> 00:23:37,772
All right. I see who voted
for me and who didn't.
562
00:23:37,839 --> 00:23:40,105
-[all laughing]
-[Digger] So I'm
all confused here.
563
00:23:40,105 --> 00:23:42,772
Which year did you run
for president, and which year
did you run from the law?
564
00:23:42,839 --> 00:23:44,171
Or did it all happen
at one time?
565
00:23:44,171 --> 00:23:47,372
Well, I, I ran for president
in 2012.
566
00:23:47,438 --> 00:23:51,005
Now, in 2016, I believe I was
running from the law.
567
00:23:51,005 --> 00:23:52,199
And I ain't gonna lie to ya.
2024, I might just
do it again.
568
00:23:52,199 --> 00:23:54,372
And I ain't gonna lie to ya.
2024, I might just
do it again.
569
00:23:54,372 --> 00:23:55,939
Run from the law
or the president?
570
00:23:55,939 --> 00:23:57,372
-I'll let y'all
figure that one out.
-Ah.
571
00:23:57,438 --> 00:23:58,972
[all laughing]
572
00:23:58,972 --> 00:24:01,472
[Digger] We'll see ya,
Stevie Ray. You be careful.
573
00:24:01,472 --> 00:24:03,639
Let's just build a cocktail.
[laughing] How about that?
574
00:24:03,639 --> 00:24:05,472
Let's do it.
575
00:24:05,472 --> 00:24:11,572
All right, guys. It's time
to go up here
to the cocktail mixology cart.
576
00:24:11,572 --> 00:24:16,972
As y'all well know, Kelly
gets to go first.
You got one minute. Go.
577
00:24:20,271 --> 00:24:22,199
I see martini glasses
I'm gonna grab those things.
578
00:24:22,199 --> 00:24:23,138
I see martini glasses
I'm gonna grab those things.
579
00:24:23,138 --> 00:24:26,772
And I'm hoping that I can
dress this glass up,
580
00:24:26,772 --> 00:24:30,472
because part of this challenge
is making it presentable
to a president.
581
00:24:31,238 --> 00:24:32,538
[Digger] 20 seconds, Kelly.
582
00:24:35,572 --> 00:24:38,772
15 seconds, Kelly.
583
00:24:38,772 --> 00:24:42,572
-I gotta leave
some stuff for them guys.
-Three, two, one. You're done.
584
00:24:42,639 --> 00:24:45,372
All right, Howard,
you are next in line.
585
00:24:45,438 --> 00:24:49,438
Get your basket
and get ready for me
to tell you to...
586
00:24:50,438 --> 00:24:51,438
...go.
587
00:24:53,572 --> 00:24:54,939
Mmm-hmm.
588
00:24:54,939 --> 00:24:56,839
[Kelly] Go, Howard.
589
00:24:58,772 --> 00:25:00,972
Since my boy
got all my martini glasses,
590
00:25:00,972 --> 00:25:03,372
I'm gonna have to think
outside the box here, now.
591
00:25:04,672 --> 00:25:06,372
Little strainer here.
592
00:25:06,372 --> 00:25:09,338
You know, the judges talked
about what they liked from
the jar for the first run.
593
00:25:09,338 --> 00:25:11,772
I had that peach there,
I had the proof there.
594
00:25:11,839 --> 00:25:15,872
[Howard] Going into
this cocktail challenge, what
I see is probably a lime,
595
00:25:15,939 --> 00:25:18,138
maybe even some strawberries,
because they're tart.
596
00:25:18,138 --> 00:25:20,271
That'll give me balance.
It'll give me layers.
597
00:25:22,772 --> 00:25:28,271
Five, four, three, two, one.
You're done.
598
00:25:28,271 --> 00:25:29,238
Get back to your station.
599
00:25:29,238 --> 00:25:30,271
Got it.
600
00:25:30,772 --> 00:25:31,472
Nick of time.
601
00:25:33,038 --> 00:25:34,572
All right, Josh.
602
00:25:34,572 --> 00:25:37,572
Your time starts now.
603
00:25:39,038 --> 00:25:40,171
Easy, lightnin'.
604
00:25:41,872 --> 00:25:43,572
-[all laughing]
-Attaboy.
605
00:25:45,472 --> 00:25:48,138
Hey,
and you said you got
the short end of the stick.
606
00:25:48,138 --> 00:25:51,171
You got 50 seconds left, Josh.
What else you wanna do?
607
00:25:51,171 --> 00:25:52,199
[all laughing]
608
00:25:52,199 --> 00:25:52,572
[all laughing]
609
00:25:52,639 --> 00:25:54,472
-[Mark] Attaboy.
-Nice method, brother.
610
00:25:54,538 --> 00:25:56,639
Ain't nobody can have
none of the rest of it, hell.
611
00:25:56,639 --> 00:25:59,071
[all laughing]
612
00:25:59,071 --> 00:26:05,772
All right, guys. You're gonna
make us a Prohibition-style
cocktail in honor of FDR.
613
00:26:05,772 --> 00:26:11,271
You're gonna have 30 minutes
for which to build us three
cocktails fit for a president.
614
00:26:11,839 --> 00:26:13,572
Your time starts...
615
00:26:16,472 --> 00:26:18,872
...now. Get with it.
616
00:26:18,872 --> 00:26:22,199
From what I got
from the feedback
from the judges
617
00:26:22,199 --> 00:26:22,672
From what I got
from the feedback
from the judges
618
00:26:22,739 --> 00:26:27,271
from the liquor that I made,
this is my competition
to lose.
619
00:26:27,338 --> 00:26:30,171
So all I'm playing in my mind
is, don't screw up,
620
00:26:30,171 --> 00:26:33,672
keep the proof up,
keep the flavor good,
621
00:26:33,672 --> 00:26:36,238
and just make it
very presentable to 'em.
622
00:26:42,772 --> 00:26:45,238
-There's Josh.
-Yeah,
Josh is in the building.
623
00:26:50,271 --> 00:26:51,672
[slurping]
624
00:26:52,872 --> 00:26:54,038
Ugh.
625
00:26:56,105 --> 00:26:57,939
Man, that one [bleep] nasty.
626
00:26:59,839 --> 00:27:02,872
[Josh] Every time
I come out here, I make these
cocktails and stuff,
627
00:27:02,872 --> 00:27:05,639
and it's really
not my wheelhouse.
I mean, I can do it,
628
00:27:05,639 --> 00:27:07,538
but I'm more of
a traditional moonshiner.
629
00:27:15,372 --> 00:27:18,038
[sucking teeth,
blowing raspberry]
630
00:27:22,872 --> 00:27:24,438
[exhaling, slurping]
631
00:27:24,438 --> 00:27:26,038
[exhaling slowly]
632
00:27:27,372 --> 00:27:28,305
[hoarsely] Whoa.
633
00:27:30,372 --> 00:27:32,171
Hey, Josh? Tell me
what you got going on.
634
00:27:32,238 --> 00:27:34,772
I been monkeying around
with this whole tray of stuff.
635
00:27:34,839 --> 00:27:37,271
I tried to mix this and that
and this and the other,
636
00:27:37,338 --> 00:27:40,238
and I don't feel happy
with none of it.
637
00:27:40,238 --> 00:27:42,939
Cocktails is really
not my wheelhouse.
638
00:27:42,939 --> 00:27:47,138
I'm sitting here thinking,
well, they're gonna want
some kinda mixed drink.
639
00:27:48,138 --> 00:27:51,338
So, once I poured
that cherry juice in there,
640
00:27:51,338 --> 00:27:53,872
it was just sweet enough
that it made it just right.
641
00:27:53,872 --> 00:27:56,639
I was like,
oh, my God, I found
a really nice cocktail.
642
00:27:56,639 --> 00:27:58,385
I might just kick their ass
with this.
643
00:27:58,385 --> 00:27:58,472
I might just kick their ass
with this.
644
00:27:58,538 --> 00:28:00,772
Well, sometimes,
simple is best.
645
00:28:00,839 --> 00:28:02,005
I got this.
646
00:28:02,672 --> 00:28:04,138
[grunting]
647
00:28:04,939 --> 00:28:07,772
Now, when you go up to a bar,
it don't take 30 minutes
to make a drink.
648
00:28:08,472 --> 00:28:10,071
But we're all here novices.
649
00:28:10,071 --> 00:28:12,639
I don't know
what ingredients I'm using,
what I'm throwing into it,
650
00:28:12,639 --> 00:28:14,138
which kitchen sink
I'm throwing from.
651
00:28:14,138 --> 00:28:17,572
I just know I've got
30 minutes to make a drink
652
00:28:17,572 --> 00:28:19,271
that's gonna
make the judges happy.
653
00:28:19,271 --> 00:28:22,672
Ask not what I can do
for this cocktail, but what
this cocktail can do for you.
654
00:28:22,739 --> 00:28:25,271
Well, I'd say that Howard's
learned something.
655
00:28:26,271 --> 00:28:28,385
He's using the wrong end
of his damn mortar.
656
00:28:28,385 --> 00:28:29,872
He's using the wrong end
of his damn mortar.
657
00:28:31,238 --> 00:28:32,739
To mash up his strawberries.
658
00:28:35,438 --> 00:28:37,538
Josh you ain't using a knife,
are you?
659
00:28:37,538 --> 00:28:39,472
No, why?
660
00:28:39,538 --> 00:28:42,672
I might need some first aid
if you are. [laughing]
661
00:28:42,739 --> 00:28:44,271
No, I done
cut that finger off.
662
00:28:44,271 --> 00:28:48,338
[all laughing]
663
00:28:48,338 --> 00:28:51,105
[Howard] You know, I feel like
this challenge is built around
my skills and my knowledge,
664
00:28:51,105 --> 00:28:55,538
because I got to learn FDR's
recipe. I got to bring it
back to life.
665
00:28:55,538 --> 00:28:58,171
And then for me to have
carried this tradition forward
666
00:28:58,238 --> 00:28:58,385
and bring my own spin to it,
I'm confident.
667
00:28:58,385 --> 00:29:00,872
and bring my own spin to it,
I'm confident.
668
00:29:03,739 --> 00:29:05,772
What's that stuff Howard's got
in that brown bottle?
669
00:29:05,839 --> 00:29:08,005
What's in that brown bottle,
Howard?
670
00:29:08,005 --> 00:29:10,338
This right here
is a orange liqueur.
671
00:29:10,338 --> 00:29:11,171
Oh, yeah.
672
00:29:22,171 --> 00:29:23,271
Hmm.
673
00:29:27,005 --> 00:29:28,385
Here, Kelly, he's just, he's
shaving and a-slicing.
674
00:29:28,385 --> 00:29:31,572
Here, Kelly, he's just, he's
shaving and a-slicing.
675
00:29:31,572 --> 00:29:34,372
Damn, Kelly. You making
a fruit bowl over there
or a drink?
676
00:29:35,772 --> 00:29:38,171
Mind ya own damn business!
[laughing]
677
00:29:38,238 --> 00:29:44,772
I am gonna shoot for something
that I can get a little bit of
the extra peach flavoring in.
678
00:29:44,772 --> 00:29:50,872
Ultimately, I wanna be
somewhere in the 50, 60 proof
for it to really taste good.
679
00:29:53,105 --> 00:29:56,372
Oh, my God. Y'all are
gonna love this.
680
00:29:58,271 --> 00:29:58,385
Hey. Ya gotta...
681
00:29:58,385 --> 00:29:59,438
Hey. Ya gotta...
682
00:30:00,772 --> 00:30:01,772
Oh, yeah?
683
00:30:02,472 --> 00:30:03,872
-Wipe it off.
-[laughing]
684
00:30:03,872 --> 00:30:06,238
You gonna have to wipe
your lips from kissing
the judges' butts.
685
00:30:06,739 --> 00:30:09,572
[all laughing]
686
00:30:10,572 --> 00:30:12,271
-That's great.
-[all laughing]
687
00:30:12,939 --> 00:30:14,572
-Kelly.
-Yes, sir.
688
00:30:14,639 --> 00:30:17,338
Give us a little description
of what you're doing there.
689
00:30:17,338 --> 00:30:21,372
I took, uh, the advice
of the esteemed judge
that told me
690
00:30:21,438 --> 00:30:22,939
that my alcohol
was weak enough,
691
00:30:22,939 --> 00:30:26,372
and I only wanted to put
something in it to give me
a little carbonation
692
00:30:26,372 --> 00:30:28,385
and dress it up a little bit
to make it pretty
for you guys.
693
00:30:28,385 --> 00:30:28,972
and dress it up a little bit
to make it pretty
for you guys.
694
00:30:29,639 --> 00:30:30,672
All right.
695
00:30:30,739 --> 00:30:34,138
Well, Howard? What you got
going on over there?
696
00:30:34,138 --> 00:30:36,872
Well, I'm working on
a drink fit for a president.
697
00:30:36,939 --> 00:30:38,739
Strawberries, you know, people
always think they're sweet.
698
00:30:38,772 --> 00:30:41,872
But really, when you bite into
it without a little sugar,
it's got a little tart to it.
699
00:30:41,872 --> 00:30:45,372
So I'm adding
the strawberries, squeeze
a little lime in there,
700
00:30:45,372 --> 00:30:47,939
add a little bit of bitters,
this orange liqueur I got,
701
00:30:47,939 --> 00:30:50,005
gonna make it, blend it,
and then I'm gonna
add my peach to it,
702
00:30:50,005 --> 00:30:53,572
and I feel like I'm gonna
come out with something that
should make a president happy.
703
00:30:53,572 --> 00:30:56,171
I noticed you tasted
those bitters
on the end of your finger.
704
00:30:56,171 --> 00:30:57,171
How did you like them?
705
00:30:57,171 --> 00:30:58,385
I, I wasn't a big fan of them,
to be honest.
706
00:30:58,385 --> 00:30:58,572
I, I wasn't a big fan of them,
to be honest.
707
00:30:58,639 --> 00:30:59,839
They were a little,
they were a little, um...
708
00:30:59,839 --> 00:31:01,372
Bitter.
709
00:31:01,372 --> 00:31:03,238
-Hot to trot, you know?
-That's why you just use
a little tiny bit of it.
710
00:31:03,238 --> 00:31:05,472
Well, I've never worked
with 'em. I've seen bartenders
work with 'em.
711
00:31:05,538 --> 00:31:07,171
-Yeah.
-And I'm far removed
from a bartender,
712
00:31:07,238 --> 00:31:09,438
so all I can do is wing it
at this point.
713
00:31:10,572 --> 00:31:13,271
All right, you're down
to 12 minutes, men.
714
00:31:13,271 --> 00:31:14,572
[Howard] Come on, Josh!
715
00:31:14,639 --> 00:31:15,839
[Josh] You waiting on me?
716
00:31:18,372 --> 00:31:21,171
[Mark] My God, Josh has made
a pretty drink over there.
717
00:31:21,171 --> 00:31:23,238
-[Tim] Put some color in it,
didn't he?
-[Mark] Yes, he did.
718
00:31:24,472 --> 00:31:25,972
Three minutes, gentlemen.
719
00:31:29,672 --> 00:31:32,572
Oh, that's it right there.
It don't get no better.
720
00:31:34,639 --> 00:31:36,205
Get there, Josh?
721
00:31:36,205 --> 00:31:38,872
[Howard] Bada-bing, bada-boom.
You knocking the presidents
out the room.
722
00:31:40,772 --> 00:31:43,138
[Digger] Any time y'all are
ready, bring 'em to the front.
723
00:31:43,138 --> 00:31:44,872
[Josh] I'm not a bartender.
724
00:31:44,939 --> 00:31:48,872
And without a plan,
I felt like at the last
minute or two,
725
00:31:48,872 --> 00:31:51,372
I pulled a rabbit out of
my hat, and I whipped out
a really good drink.
726
00:31:52,138 --> 00:31:53,238
Thank you, sir.
727
00:31:54,872 --> 00:31:57,271
-Good luck, Josh.
-All right, fellas, I'm ready.
728
00:31:57,271 --> 00:31:58,385
Bring it in here, Howard.
729
00:31:58,385 --> 00:31:58,972
Bring it in here, Howard.
730
00:31:58,972 --> 00:32:00,939
It's kinda hard to polish up
a copper glass,
731
00:32:00,939 --> 00:32:02,372
but it's a lot better
than that jar was.
732
00:32:02,438 --> 00:32:04,438
-That's all we ask.
-Yeah.
733
00:32:04,438 --> 00:32:06,538
Here you go, Mr. Digger.
I hope you enjoy.
734
00:32:06,538 --> 00:32:08,071
That's a presidential winner
right there.
735
00:32:08,071 --> 00:32:09,872
You ready for mine, guys?
736
00:32:11,038 --> 00:32:13,238
I'ma slosh this all the way
across the floor,
737
00:32:13,238 --> 00:32:16,639
-'cause I filled her up, guys.
-[Digger] Yeah, you get
good marks on a full pour.
738
00:32:20,138 --> 00:32:23,271
There you go, guys. You enjoy.
That's gonna be the best.
739
00:32:23,271 --> 00:32:26,639
Well, boys, we're gonna
head out here,
and sample and sip.
740
00:32:26,639 --> 00:32:28,385
We're gonna come back, and one
of you all is gonna get the
presidential seal of approval.
741
00:32:28,385 --> 00:32:31,271
We're gonna come back, and one
of you all is gonna get the
presidential seal of approval.
742
00:32:31,271 --> 00:32:33,105
-Let's do it.
-Yay!
743
00:32:33,105 --> 00:32:34,605
[Kelly] Here we go.
744
00:32:36,105 --> 00:32:40,872
Well, guys. I tell you what,
I mean, I'm proud of
what them guys did.
745
00:32:40,939 --> 00:32:42,338
Presentation is off the chain.
746
00:32:42,338 --> 00:32:44,271
-[Mark] It's good. Yeah.
-[Tim] All of 'em is.
747
00:32:44,271 --> 00:32:45,672
Where you wanna start, Timmy?
748
00:32:45,739 --> 00:32:47,572
Let's start
with this big 'un right here
in front of me, here.
749
00:32:47,572 --> 00:32:49,271
-All right. Kelly.
-Let's start with Kelly.
750
00:32:49,338 --> 00:32:52,572
I mean, this looks like
a FDR martini.
751
00:32:52,639 --> 00:32:55,872
He gets high marks
for presentation
and a full pour.
752
00:32:58,839 --> 00:33:01,372
Well, it's buttery smooth
on the mouth feel, ain't it?
753
00:33:01,372 --> 00:33:03,572
-[Digger] That's pretty good.
-That's pretty good.
It is good.
754
00:33:03,572 --> 00:33:05,572
Kinda like a fruit salad
with a little attitude.
755
00:33:05,572 --> 00:33:08,171
Franklin Delano would maybe
be proud of that, Tim.
756
00:33:08,171 --> 00:33:09,438
Yeah. Yeah.
757
00:33:09,438 --> 00:33:11,438
Ice has watered it down
a little bit,
758
00:33:11,438 --> 00:33:15,005
but no, the peach flavor
that we're shooting for
is there still.
759
00:33:15,005 --> 00:33:16,271
It's peach on peach.
760
00:33:16,271 --> 00:33:17,739
-And it's still
got the alcohol in there.
-Peach on peach.
761
00:33:17,739 --> 00:33:20,071
But I think that he doubled up
on the liquor.
762
00:33:21,171 --> 00:33:22,305
Yeah.
763
00:33:22,338 --> 00:33:24,839
'Cause now had he put
just a like a shot in that...
764
00:33:24,839 --> 00:33:27,138
-Mmm-hmm.
-...he woulda had no alcohol.
765
00:33:27,138 --> 00:33:28,385
Yeah, he didn't have no proof.
766
00:33:28,385 --> 00:33:28,772
Yeah, he didn't have no proof.
767
00:33:28,772 --> 00:33:30,238
I like it. I like it a lot.
768
00:33:30,238 --> 00:33:31,739
Well, moving on.
769
00:33:31,739 --> 00:33:33,071
Where you wanna go now, Timmy?
770
00:33:33,071 --> 00:33:35,071
-I'm just going down the line
with Josh here.
-Josh.
771
00:33:35,071 --> 00:33:36,171
Mr. Josh.
772
00:33:36,238 --> 00:33:38,238
-It's colorful.
-Well, that's good.
773
00:33:38,972 --> 00:33:40,038
A little weak.
774
00:33:40,038 --> 00:33:41,839
Oh, that's really...
775
00:33:41,839 --> 00:33:43,739
That's Kool-Aid. What'd he do
with the alcohol?
776
00:33:43,739 --> 00:33:45,438
It got watered down
with that ice.
777
00:33:45,438 --> 00:33:49,372
I don't taste much alcohol,
and I don't taste
any peach anymore.
778
00:33:49,372 --> 00:33:50,872
That is zero alcohol.
779
00:33:50,939 --> 00:33:52,572
And Josh had the most alcohol.
780
00:33:52,639 --> 00:33:54,271
But he didn't bring it here.
781
00:33:54,338 --> 00:33:56,038
He got
the most blending stuff.
782
00:33:56,038 --> 00:33:58,385
Josh didn't have
very much peach flavor anyway.
783
00:33:58,385 --> 00:34:00,672
Josh didn't have
very much peach flavor anyway.
784
00:34:00,739 --> 00:34:02,005
-Uh-uh.
-Now, he has none.
785
00:34:02,005 --> 00:34:03,171
Yeah, but he had alcohol.
786
00:34:03,171 --> 00:34:04,572
[Digger]
He's got cherry flavor now.
787
00:34:04,639 --> 00:34:06,672
That's just
a cold summertime...
788
00:34:06,739 --> 00:34:08,438
-[both] Kool-Aid.
-Yeah.
789
00:34:08,438 --> 00:34:12,872
And I, I don't know
what went South, Josh,
but it did, and in a hurry.
790
00:34:12,872 --> 00:34:16,005
But it is purty. I gotta
give him kudos
for presentation.
791
00:34:16,005 --> 00:34:17,138
Yeah, it's purty
from the color.
792
00:34:17,138 --> 00:34:19,972
-But it's not a good cocktail.
-No.
793
00:34:19,972 --> 00:34:22,171
Well, now we move on
to Howard.
794
00:34:22,238 --> 00:34:24,105
Got an umbrella on that thing.
[laughing]
795
00:34:24,105 --> 00:34:26,572
Got a little mini-nose on it.
796
00:34:26,572 --> 00:34:28,005
It's got a different taste.
797
00:34:30,372 --> 00:34:32,105
Damn. [gagging]
798
00:34:33,372 --> 00:34:37,271
Ohh. I think I know where,
I know where he went wrong.
799
00:34:37,271 --> 00:34:38,705
-[Digger] Bitters.
-Bitters.
800
00:34:38,705 --> 00:34:41,839
And he didn't know how
just to use one little drop
for a damn...
801
00:34:42,739 --> 00:34:45,238
-55-gallon drum.
-Yeah, that.
802
00:34:45,238 --> 00:34:48,572
I don't know, I kinda like it.
I'm tasting that mint.
803
00:34:50,105 --> 00:34:52,939
It's a lot better than that
fruit punch right there,
I can tell ya that.
804
00:34:52,939 --> 00:34:54,538
But I get no peach.
805
00:34:54,538 --> 00:34:56,438
No, there's no peach in there
anywhere.
806
00:34:56,438 --> 00:34:58,338
-The citrus.
-You get that mint
that's in there.
807
00:34:58,338 --> 00:34:58,385
And then you get the bitters.
808
00:34:58,385 --> 00:34:59,472
And then you get the bitters.
809
00:34:59,472 --> 00:35:01,071
Yeah, that's
the citrus flavor.
810
00:35:01,071 --> 00:35:04,438
That's what I'm a-getting.
The orange
is outrunning the peach.
811
00:35:04,438 --> 00:35:09,338
I like orange, but it don't
complement this peach at all.
812
00:35:09,338 --> 00:35:10,772
Uh-uh.
813
00:35:10,772 --> 00:35:13,438
That wouldn't be the drink
that the president would have.
814
00:35:13,438 --> 00:35:14,572
[Digger] No.
815
00:35:14,572 --> 00:35:16,071
Well, I know where I'm at.
816
00:35:16,071 --> 00:35:17,472
I know where I'm at.
817
00:35:17,538 --> 00:35:19,138
-One, two, three.
-Yeah. That's pretty good.
818
00:35:19,138 --> 00:35:20,772
Yeah, I'll go with that.
819
00:35:20,839 --> 00:35:23,038
We got a winner,
and I think it's a landslide.
820
00:35:23,038 --> 00:35:23,872
Yeah.
821
00:35:23,939 --> 00:35:25,472
-Let's go do it.
-Yeah.
822
00:35:29,639 --> 00:35:31,171
I got a pop quiz for ya, boys:
823
00:35:31,171 --> 00:35:34,672
Who are the four faces
on Mount Rushmore?
Who are those presidents?
824
00:35:35,972 --> 00:35:38,372
Abraham Lincoln,
Thomas Jefferson.
825
00:35:39,138 --> 00:35:40,739
George Washington.
826
00:35:41,372 --> 00:35:42,538
[Kelly] Teddy Roosevelt.
827
00:35:44,271 --> 00:35:46,472
-It is Roosevelt. Yeah.
-It is Teddy Roosevelt.
828
00:35:46,972 --> 00:35:48,772
I think it is.
829
00:35:48,839 --> 00:35:51,639
See, I had to drag you
outta that one.
I'm, I'm the silent...
830
00:35:52,739 --> 00:35:53,939
[both] Genius.
831
00:35:53,939 --> 00:35:55,739
-I can tell.
-Yeah.
832
00:35:55,739 --> 00:35:57,639
'Cause the only time
I'm a genius
is when I'm silent.
833
00:35:57,639 --> 00:35:58,564
-[laughing]
-Any time I'm talking,
it's gonna be dumb.
834
00:35:58,564 --> 00:35:59,639
-[laughing]
-Any time I'm talking,
it's gonna be dumb.
835
00:35:59,639 --> 00:36:00,772
[laughing]
836
00:36:02,405 --> 00:36:06,071
["Hail to the Chief" plays]
837
00:36:17,372 --> 00:36:20,305
Well, you know, guys,
it was a great experience
right here.
838
00:36:20,305 --> 00:36:23,271
I'm glad we all
got to celebrate
Presidents' Day right here.
839
00:36:23,271 --> 00:36:25,972
No matter
what the dissension is,
840
00:36:25,972 --> 00:36:29,472
no matter who's not
getting along with who,
at the end of the day,
841
00:36:29,472 --> 00:36:31,697
we live in the United States
of America. The greatest
country on God's planet.
842
00:36:31,697 --> 00:36:35,005
we live in the United States
of America. The greatest
country on God's planet.
843
00:36:35,005 --> 00:36:36,805
You damn right. We're free.
844
00:36:36,805 --> 00:36:39,472
This is a real big event
for us.
845
00:36:39,472 --> 00:36:42,739
All across the United States,
we celebrate Presidents' Day.
846
00:36:42,739 --> 00:36:49,005
And because of FDR
repealing Prohibition in 1933,
847
00:36:49,005 --> 00:36:50,705
we got something
to drink about.
848
00:36:50,705 --> 00:36:54,005
So, you know, all three of you
should be proud.
849
00:36:54,005 --> 00:36:58,739
Kelly, you made
the presentation princess
right here.
850
00:36:58,739 --> 00:37:01,697
I'm telling you, it's purty.
You got the alcohol in there.
851
00:37:01,697 --> 00:37:03,005
I'm telling you, it's purty.
You got the alcohol in there.
852
00:37:03,005 --> 00:37:06,805
You got the peach flavor.
You didn't drop the ball
at all anywheres.
853
00:37:06,805 --> 00:37:10,105
You know, I think
there could have been
a little more alcohol,
854
00:37:10,105 --> 00:37:14,905
but at the end of the day,
you built a nice,
really tasty cocktail
855
00:37:14,905 --> 00:37:18,472
that really caught your eye
before it did your tongue.
856
00:37:18,472 --> 00:37:24,572
Kelly? I said earlier that,
you know, that you had
kinda redeemed yourself
857
00:37:24,572 --> 00:37:26,038
for that pineapple fiasco.
858
00:37:26,038 --> 00:37:27,805
So you're going good.
[laughing]
859
00:37:27,805 --> 00:37:31,697
Really, I wanna carry that
through. Presentation's good.
The peach is still in there.
860
00:37:31,697 --> 00:37:32,038
Really, I wanna carry that
through. Presentation's good.
The peach is still in there.
861
00:37:32,872 --> 00:37:33,939
Hell west and crooked.
862
00:37:34,705 --> 00:37:37,338
Kelly, you know,
from me to you,
863
00:37:37,338 --> 00:37:41,372
I think you knocked it
out the ballpark by adding
all the fruit cocktail.
864
00:37:41,372 --> 00:37:44,372
A lotta fruit is hanging
and it's floating.
865
00:37:44,372 --> 00:37:47,472
Can I just take one moment
here to go, whoo!
866
00:37:47,472 --> 00:37:48,639
You ain't won yet!
867
00:37:48,639 --> 00:37:50,572
Well, he complimented me.
868
00:37:50,572 --> 00:37:52,905
-[laughing]
-That's better than I got
the last time.
869
00:37:52,905 --> 00:37:56,872
Howard. Your drink?
Plenty alcy-hol.
870
00:37:56,872 --> 00:38:00,572
I think you went just a little
bit extreme on the bitters,
871
00:38:00,572 --> 00:38:01,697
but the orange liqueur
come across really good.
872
00:38:01,697 --> 00:38:03,572
but the orange liqueur
come across really good.
873
00:38:03,572 --> 00:38:07,205
-Yeah.
-It did. But I don't know
what you did with the peach.
874
00:38:07,205 --> 00:38:10,038
[Tim] What you did
put in the cup,
it does taste good.
875
00:38:10,038 --> 00:38:13,071
And the little umbrella
that you got, you know?
876
00:38:13,071 --> 00:38:14,171
That sets it off.
877
00:38:14,171 --> 00:38:16,038
Thank you. I try.
878
00:38:16,038 --> 00:38:20,238
You did the absolute best
you possibly could
presentation-wise.
879
00:38:20,238 --> 00:38:26,071
Because that copper cup
does not permit no one
to see what's inside of it.
880
00:38:26,071 --> 00:38:29,038
My man went after
my martini glasses on me.
881
00:38:29,038 --> 00:38:30,639
Well, I had to do something.
882
00:38:30,639 --> 00:38:31,697
He said, he told, he said here
earlier, the best offense
is a good defense.
883
00:38:31,697 --> 00:38:33,538
He said, he told, he said here
earlier, the best offense
is a good defense.
884
00:38:33,538 --> 00:38:37,171
He, he heard me say
I wanted them martini glasses.
Well played, Kelly.
885
00:38:37,171 --> 00:38:38,939
So there you go.
886
00:38:38,939 --> 00:38:42,171
Still yet, damn fine drink.
Had plenty alcohol in it.
887
00:38:42,171 --> 00:38:44,538
You just left the peach
at the other party.
888
00:38:44,538 --> 00:38:46,605
[laughing] Story of my life.
889
00:38:46,605 --> 00:38:50,338
Josh. You know, we never know
where you're going.
890
00:38:50,338 --> 00:38:52,939
But presentation, I love it.
Good color.
891
00:38:52,939 --> 00:38:56,705
And I guess
that's cherry juice,
the majority of it.
892
00:38:56,705 --> 00:39:00,538
You know, it took away
a little from what
peach flavor you had.
893
00:39:00,538 --> 00:39:01,697
But, like a true moonshiner,
you worked with what you had.
894
00:39:01,697 --> 00:39:05,171
But, like a true moonshiner,
you worked with what you had.
895
00:39:05,171 --> 00:39:09,939
Now, as far as your peach,
it didn't get no peach.
All I got was cherry.
896
00:39:09,939 --> 00:39:12,205
There was nothing there really
to bring any peaches in.
897
00:39:12,205 --> 00:39:15,705
And you know, I think it
could have been
a little more alcoholic,
898
00:39:15,705 --> 00:39:18,071
but, uh, it's appealing
to the eye.
899
00:39:18,071 --> 00:39:22,538
I mean, if I saw that
right there sitting in a bar,
I'd want me one of 'em too.
900
00:39:22,538 --> 00:39:25,472
So there's high marks on that.
Very high marks.
901
00:39:25,472 --> 00:39:28,338
Looks good. Tastes good.
902
00:39:28,338 --> 00:39:29,839
-Good drink.
-Thank you.
903
00:39:29,839 --> 00:39:31,697
Good job, all of you,
and I'm proud of
every one of ya.
904
00:39:31,697 --> 00:39:32,305
Good job, all of you,
and I'm proud of
every one of ya.
905
00:39:32,305 --> 00:39:35,972
You know, you three
are living proof...
906
00:39:35,972 --> 00:39:39,205
...that the state
of the shine union is secure.
907
00:39:39,205 --> 00:39:40,605
[laughing]
908
00:39:40,639 --> 00:39:44,538
I can't think of no place
that I'd rather be
on Presidents' Day
909
00:39:44,538 --> 00:39:46,538
than with
three of my best friends.
910
00:39:46,538 --> 00:39:48,839
My question is,
who are the two acquaintances?
911
00:39:48,839 --> 00:39:51,538
[all laughing]
912
00:39:51,538 --> 00:39:53,538
Hey, I'm happy to just be
an acquaintance.
913
00:39:54,205 --> 00:39:55,839
The way it stands right now...
914
00:39:56,905 --> 00:39:59,372
...the race is over,
the people have spoke.
915
00:39:59,372 --> 00:40:01,338
Kelly, you had the top drink.
916
00:40:02,105 --> 00:40:03,672
And what you won...
917
00:40:03,672 --> 00:40:04,739
Whoo!
918
00:40:05,205 --> 00:40:06,472
...is...
919
00:40:06,472 --> 00:40:07,605
...a picture...
920
00:40:08,805 --> 00:40:10,372
...of Mount Drinkmore.
921
00:40:10,372 --> 00:40:12,305
-[all laughing]
-Holy [bleep].
922
00:40:12,305 --> 00:40:13,739
Why can't you win this?
923
00:40:13,739 --> 00:40:15,372
[all laughing]
924
00:40:15,372 --> 00:40:16,905
I don't know,
but I'd like to have it.
925
00:40:16,905 --> 00:40:20,238
Kelly, come up and get
your lovely picture
of Mount Drinkmore.
926
00:40:20,238 --> 00:40:22,505
[Kelly]
Working with these guys
makes it a lot of fun,
927
00:40:22,505 --> 00:40:26,739
but everybody's goal
is to beat the dog snot
out of ya buddies.
928
00:40:26,739 --> 00:40:27,672
[laughing]
929
00:40:27,672 --> 00:40:29,438
Hot dog, guys.
930
00:40:29,438 --> 00:40:30,905
[all laughing]
931
00:40:30,905 --> 00:40:31,697
Look at those
four famous presidents.
932
00:40:31,697 --> 00:40:32,639
Look at those
four famous presidents.
933
00:40:32,639 --> 00:40:35,105
That is so frickin'
amazingly awesome.
934
00:40:35,105 --> 00:40:38,205
That's pretty cool
with all y'all's
signatures on it, too.
935
00:40:38,205 --> 00:40:40,739
Kelly may have won
the competition today,
936
00:40:40,739 --> 00:40:43,839
but there was one thing wrong
with the whole thing.
937
00:40:43,839 --> 00:40:47,939
My face should have been
on Mount Drinkmore.
What the hell?
938
00:40:47,939 --> 00:40:51,872
Well, y'all relish in
your victories and lick
your wounds for your defeat.
939
00:40:51,872 --> 00:40:56,338
Don't let it go to your head,
Kelly. But, uh,
hail to the chief.
940
00:40:56,338 --> 00:40:58,238
-Hell, yeah.
-Thank you, guys.
941
00:40:59,171 --> 00:41:01,697
[all humming
"Hail to the Chief"]
942
00:41:01,697 --> 00:41:04,438
[all humming
"Hail to the Chief"]
943
00:41:04,438 --> 00:41:05,639
[Kelly]
Best Presidents' Day ever.
944
00:41:05,639 --> 00:41:08,772
[humming continues]
945
00:41:08,772 --> 00:41:11,138
[narrator] Next time
on Master Distiller...
946
00:41:11,905 --> 00:41:14,905
Moonshine School 101.
947
00:41:14,905 --> 00:41:17,639
[Mark] You guys gonna teach us
how to run these cars...
948
00:41:17,639 --> 00:41:19,572
You had one job!
949
00:41:19,572 --> 00:41:22,372
[Mark] ...and we're gonna
teach you how to run
some moonshine liquor.
950
00:41:22,372 --> 00:41:23,372
Ain't got no flies in it.
951
00:41:23,372 --> 00:41:24,672
We're low and slow today.
952
00:41:24,672 --> 00:41:25,839
Like you're going to be
on the race track.
953
00:41:25,872 --> 00:41:28,672
Let's go to the race track
and settle this whole thing.
