1
00:00:01,245 --> 00:00:02,844
-I'll fight to the end.
-Let's go out swinging.
2
00:00:02,846 --> 00:00:06,148
[narrator] this time,
on master distiller
tournament of champions...
3
00:00:06,150 --> 00:00:09,951
After eliminating half
of the returning champions,
4
00:00:09,953 --> 00:00:12,454
Only three moonshiners remai
5
00:00:14,358 --> 00:00:17,459
Tater mcclure,
seasoned bootlegger,
6
00:00:17,461 --> 00:00:20,762
Richard landry, two-time
reigning champion,
7
00:00:20,764 --> 00:00:24,666
And daniel maner,
renowned backwoods outlaw.
8
00:00:24,668 --> 00:00:26,735
They're all champions.
They're all number one
at their game.
9
00:00:26,737 --> 00:00:28,003
[both] oh, yeah.
10
00:00:28,005 --> 00:00:29,971
[narrator] now, they need
to step up their game
11
00:00:29,973 --> 00:00:32,207
To craft
a moonshine benchmark,
12
00:00:32,275 --> 00:00:33,475
Cherry bounce.
13
00:00:33,544 --> 00:00:35,042
[richard] [bleep], we got
big pressure.
14
00:00:35,045 --> 00:00:37,579
[narrator] judged
by the cherry bounce
king himself,
15
00:00:37,681 --> 00:00:38,647
Josh owens.
16
00:00:38,649 --> 00:00:40,248
Cherry bounce is my thing.
17
00:00:40,250 --> 00:00:42,751
I just hope it's got
some alcohol in it.
18
00:00:42,753 --> 00:00:43,851
You better get on it.
19
00:00:43,854 --> 00:00:45,353
This ain't a race,
but I'm trying to beat you.
20
00:00:45,355 --> 00:00:47,355
That jar of liquor right there
looks good.
21
00:00:47,357 --> 00:00:51,660
[narrator] the last distille
standing will challenge
the judge of their choice
22
00:00:51,662 --> 00:00:54,863
To a final
moonshining face-off.
23
00:00:54,865 --> 00:00:56,131
I hope it's you or digger.
24
00:00:56,133 --> 00:00:57,466
This is gonna be tough.
25
00:00:57,468 --> 00:01:00,602
[narrator] there can be
only one ultimate champion.
26
00:01:00,637 --> 00:01:01,969
Boom.
27
00:01:01,971 --> 00:01:04,272
You gotta step up and prove
which one of you are the best.
28
00:01:21,758 --> 00:01:25,627
Welcome back
to the master distiller
tournament of champions.
29
00:01:25,629 --> 00:01:27,262
Now, we got down to three,
30
00:01:27,264 --> 00:01:28,763
So the pressure's on.
31
00:01:28,765 --> 00:01:30,966
Richard and tater are
on their a game,
32
00:01:30,968 --> 00:01:32,267
But I feel pretty good.
33
00:01:32,269 --> 00:01:34,002
Tater and daniel, I mean,
34
00:01:34,070 --> 00:01:35,403
These guys are juggernauts.
35
00:01:35,472 --> 00:01:37,739
But I came here
to win this whole thing.
36
00:01:37,741 --> 00:01:39,007
[tater] I'm just tickled
to death
37
00:01:39,076 --> 00:01:41,443
I scratched by
to the next round.
38
00:01:41,445 --> 00:01:42,577
Let's see how it go.
39
00:01:42,679 --> 00:01:44,646
I know it ain't been
easy on you,
40
00:01:44,648 --> 00:01:47,649
But I'm very proud of all
of you for making it this far.
41
00:01:47,651 --> 00:01:50,619
I'm real excited
about your next challenge,
42
00:01:50,687 --> 00:01:51,853
Cherry bounce.
43
00:01:51,855 --> 00:01:53,989
I don't care if you
a legal distiller
44
00:01:53,991 --> 00:01:55,757
Or a champion
backwoods distiller.
45
00:01:55,759 --> 00:01:57,559
A lot of times
when you're playing
with cherry,
46
00:01:57,561 --> 00:02:00,262
You'll get the cough
medicine taste,
so be careful.
47
00:02:00,264 --> 00:02:02,998
Now we're gonna make it
a little bit tougher on you.
48
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,767
'cause fresh cherries are
hard to come by right now.
49
00:02:05,769 --> 00:02:07,002
Cherries are not in season,
50
00:02:07,103 --> 00:02:10,205
So it's gonna be hard to make
the exact cherry bounce
51
00:02:10,307 --> 00:02:11,506
That the judges
are looking for.
52
00:02:11,608 --> 00:02:13,508
But being
a backwoods moonshiner,
53
00:02:13,577 --> 00:02:14,609
You have to work
with what you've got.
54
00:02:14,611 --> 00:02:16,478
[tim] nothing's ever easy
for a moonshiner.
55
00:02:16,580 --> 00:02:18,246
I won a cherry bounce
challenge here.
56
00:02:18,248 --> 00:02:19,447
I know a little bit about it
57
00:02:19,449 --> 00:02:21,149
But not having
fresh ingredients,
58
00:02:21,151 --> 00:02:23,985
I'm left to whatever cherries
I can really get.
59
00:02:23,987 --> 00:02:26,588
Cherry bounce was so popular
in colonial america,
60
00:02:26,690 --> 00:02:29,858
George washington never left
home without a canteen
61
00:02:29,860 --> 00:02:32,594
Of his wife
martha's special recipe.
62
00:02:32,696 --> 00:02:34,996
Tickle, tell us all about it.
63
00:02:35,098 --> 00:02:38,166
Cherry bounce was
one of the most popular
alcoholic drinks
64
00:02:38,168 --> 00:02:39,401
In georgian England.
65
00:02:39,469 --> 00:02:41,803
One of the politicians
in the house of lords
66
00:02:41,905 --> 00:02:44,072
Was even nicknamed
lord cherrybounce.
67
00:02:44,074 --> 00:02:45,774
Guess he really
liked the stuff.
68
00:02:45,776 --> 00:02:48,076
Made from running cherries
in any mash base,
69
00:02:48,078 --> 00:02:49,644
From rum to whiskey,
70
00:02:49,646 --> 00:02:52,747
And then flavoring
the liquor post-distillation
71
00:02:52,749 --> 00:02:55,850
Cherry bounce was brought
to colonial america
by the british.
72
00:02:55,852 --> 00:02:58,253
It was george
washington's favorite.
73
00:02:58,255 --> 00:03:01,856
He liked to take a canteen
of his wife martha's recipe
into battle with him.
74
00:03:02,559 --> 00:03:03,758
Can't say I blame the guy.
75
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,961
Other spirits overtook it
in popularity
76
00:03:05,963 --> 00:03:07,228
Through the years,
77
00:03:07,230 --> 00:03:09,264
But cherry bounce was still
made in the backwoods.
78
00:03:09,266 --> 00:03:11,900
The king of cherry bounce
was amos owens
79
00:03:11,968 --> 00:03:14,002
He bought cherry mountain,
north carolina
80
00:03:14,104 --> 00:03:16,371
And became a legend
for his recipe.
81
00:03:18,475 --> 00:03:20,575
Mmm, more bounce to the ounce.
82
00:03:22,446 --> 00:03:24,079
Now it's time
for y'all to build us
83
00:03:24,081 --> 00:03:27,048
Your signature
cherry bounce mash.
84
00:03:27,050 --> 00:03:29,484
You got one hour
to accomplish this feat.
85
00:03:30,687 --> 00:03:31,786
Your time starts...
86
00:03:32,389 --> 00:03:33,088
Now.
87
00:03:33,757 --> 00:03:34,656
Good luck, guys.
88
00:03:37,694 --> 00:03:39,461
It's time to get fired up.
89
00:03:39,463 --> 00:03:40,962
[daniel] we're off
to the races.
90
00:03:45,902 --> 00:03:48,270
There is zero interaction
going on.
91
00:03:48,272 --> 00:03:49,237
[digger] well,
they're focused.
92
00:03:49,239 --> 00:03:51,106
Well, this means good product.
93
00:03:51,207 --> 00:03:52,907
Hey, tater.
You're kinda quiet, tater.
94
00:03:52,943 --> 00:03:54,376
What's the reasoning
behind that?
95
00:03:54,444 --> 00:03:55,477
[tater] I'm concentrating.
96
00:03:55,578 --> 00:03:57,746
I'm up against
a tough competition.
97
00:03:57,748 --> 00:04:00,649
[mark] richard's
the cherry bounce champion.
98
00:04:00,651 --> 00:04:02,150
He should have
an advantage here.
99
00:04:02,152 --> 00:04:04,252
[tim] I'd hate to be
in this contest against him.
100
00:04:04,254 --> 00:04:05,387
I'm the cherry bounce guy.
101
00:04:05,488 --> 00:04:07,155
I mean, I won a cherry bounce
challenge here.
102
00:04:07,157 --> 00:04:08,690
But I don't have
the same ingredients
103
00:04:08,792 --> 00:04:10,091
That I had last time
I was here.
104
00:04:10,093 --> 00:04:11,960
So this is another level
105
00:04:11,962 --> 00:04:14,262
That just makes your heart
race a little bit faster.
106
00:04:14,264 --> 00:04:15,664
So, we gonna make
a different base.
107
00:04:15,666 --> 00:04:17,098
We gonna start
with a whole different base.
108
00:04:17,100 --> 00:04:18,967
My preference is to use
cane syrups in this,
109
00:04:18,969 --> 00:04:20,168
But now I don't have that,
110
00:04:20,170 --> 00:04:22,671
Because big companies
are buying this stuff up.
111
00:04:22,673 --> 00:04:24,005
They know how good
it is, also.
112
00:04:24,007 --> 00:04:25,640
It's real hard to get
and it's real expensive
113
00:04:25,642 --> 00:04:27,442
If you can get your hands
on it right now.
114
00:04:27,444 --> 00:04:29,077
What's that
richard's pouring in that?
115
00:04:29,079 --> 00:04:30,679
[digger] he's using
all brown sugar.
116
00:04:30,747 --> 00:04:32,147
[mark] does that just
change a little flavor?
117
00:04:32,149 --> 00:04:35,550
It just brings
that gravity up,
makes it ferment.
118
00:04:35,552 --> 00:04:38,887
I'm gonna put some cloves,
some cinnamon, some nutmeg.
119
00:04:38,988 --> 00:04:40,755
Cinnamon is hard to do,
the fine line
120
00:04:40,757 --> 00:04:42,223
Between not enough
and too much.
121
00:04:42,225 --> 00:04:45,093
Post-flavoring is
where that problem
presents itself.
122
00:04:45,095 --> 00:04:46,561
That's where I address
cinnamon, in ferment.
123
00:04:46,563 --> 00:04:47,996
This is real
stiff competition.
124
00:04:48,065 --> 00:04:49,464
I'm up against
daniel and tater.
125
00:04:49,466 --> 00:04:51,666
I do not underestimate
them at all.
126
00:04:51,668 --> 00:04:53,268
I'm gonna use
a real good honey,
127
00:04:53,270 --> 00:04:54,469
An orange blossom honey.
128
00:04:54,471 --> 00:04:56,171
It's a real good complement
to this drink.
129
00:04:56,173 --> 00:04:58,640
It's gonna kinda add some
texture to the end result.
130
00:04:58,642 --> 00:05:00,775
[tim] honey's a key element
in cherry bounce.
131
00:05:00,877 --> 00:05:01,943
[digger] apparently.
132
00:05:01,945 --> 00:05:04,079
Tater's got a 5-gallon bucket
of honey over there.
133
00:05:04,180 --> 00:05:06,581
[tater] it'll go one
of two ways, north or south.
134
00:05:06,650 --> 00:05:08,049
[chuckles] hopefully north.
135
00:05:08,051 --> 00:05:10,852
It's the first time
I've really done
a cherry bounce.
136
00:05:10,854 --> 00:05:12,554
My mash build
for cherry bounce
137
00:05:12,556 --> 00:05:15,090
Is honey, little bit
of sugar, and yeast.
138
00:05:15,092 --> 00:05:17,092
[daniel] oh, that smells
good, tater.
139
00:05:17,094 --> 00:05:19,461
It's hard to get cherries
this time of year.
140
00:05:19,463 --> 00:05:20,562
They're out of season.
141
00:05:20,564 --> 00:05:22,263
So I went
with frozen cherries,
142
00:05:22,265 --> 00:05:24,466
'cause that's the closest
to fresh you can get
143
00:05:24,468 --> 00:05:26,167
Versus the jarred
or canned cherries.
144
00:05:26,169 --> 00:05:28,269
[tim] I thought they was
gonna have real cherries.
145
00:05:28,271 --> 00:05:29,871
[digger] wrong time
of the year.
146
00:05:29,873 --> 00:05:31,740
Well, that's part
of the process.
147
00:05:31,742 --> 00:05:33,842
See who comes through
under the pressure.
148
00:05:33,844 --> 00:05:35,744
What's that
that daniel's pouring?
149
00:05:35,746 --> 00:05:37,846
[digger] I think
maraschino cherry puree.
150
00:05:37,848 --> 00:05:40,849
-Is that the same thing
you've run before?
-[daniel] no, it ain't.
151
00:05:40,851 --> 00:05:43,051
So I'll just have to make
the best with what I've got.
152
00:05:43,053 --> 00:05:45,453
Cherry bounce,
it's a hard mash to get right.
153
00:05:45,455 --> 00:05:48,757
So, my strategy is I'm gonn
have to use a lot of honey
154
00:05:48,759 --> 00:05:50,358
To introduce the amount
of alcohol that I need.
155
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,762
My cherry bounce recipe
will be cherries, honey,
156
00:05:53,764 --> 00:05:55,830
And a little bit
of brown sugar.
157
00:05:55,832 --> 00:05:58,366
I have to use
the maraschino cherries.
158
00:05:58,368 --> 00:06:00,568
The juice that's
in the maraschino cherries
159
00:06:00,570 --> 00:06:02,370
Is packed with sugar,
also, so...
160
00:06:02,372 --> 00:06:04,239
The more sugar
you have in the mash,
161
00:06:04,241 --> 00:06:06,408
The more alcohol
you should make by proxy.
162
00:06:06,476 --> 00:06:08,476
Yours is doing better
than mine, brother.
163
00:06:08,545 --> 00:06:11,479
[tater] of course it will.
I [bleep] in your cherries.
164
00:06:11,581 --> 00:06:13,047
[both laugh]
165
00:06:13,049 --> 00:06:16,351
20 minutes, guys. Time to get
them buttons buttoned up.
166
00:06:19,556 --> 00:06:22,690
Boy, they're focused. I never
seen such concentration.
167
00:06:22,792 --> 00:06:23,958
[digger] yep.
168
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,293
[richard] I can't find
any fresh cherries,
169
00:06:25,362 --> 00:06:26,895
So I'm having to use
maraschino cherries.
170
00:06:26,963 --> 00:06:28,630
[daniel] well, I sure hope
we can pull this off.
171
00:06:28,632 --> 00:06:30,365
-I really do.
-[chuckles] me, too.
172
00:06:30,367 --> 00:06:31,599
There's a lot of sugar in it
173
00:06:31,668 --> 00:06:32,834
They taste really well.
174
00:06:32,836 --> 00:06:35,770
They're real cherry-flavored,
so I'm good to go.
175
00:06:37,774 --> 00:06:41,576
Richard, tell me
what the cherry bounce
crown holder's gonna do here.
176
00:06:41,645 --> 00:06:44,979
My regular seasoning,
my nutmeg, my cinnamon,
I put that all in.
177
00:06:45,048 --> 00:06:47,148
I ain't see no cane syrup.
178
00:06:47,150 --> 00:06:50,552
Well, cane syrup was something
I couldn't get this time.
179
00:06:50,554 --> 00:06:51,853
So I did the next best thing,
180
00:06:51,855 --> 00:06:53,588
I did some real
good brown sugar.
181
00:06:53,590 --> 00:06:56,090
-Uh, probably should have...
-I saw you dumping a ton
of brown sugar in there.
182
00:06:56,092 --> 00:06:57,892
-Yes. We need a lot of that.
-Yep.
183
00:06:57,961 --> 00:07:01,796
Cherries hard to find,
but, uh, I even went
to another state.
184
00:07:01,865 --> 00:07:02,997
-Really?
-I did.
185
00:07:03,099 --> 00:07:04,265
Now, was that for cherries,
186
00:07:04,267 --> 00:07:05,600
Or was that
for something else?
187
00:07:05,602 --> 00:07:09,437
-Well, we mix business
with pleasure.
-[digger laughing]
188
00:07:09,439 --> 00:07:11,673
I like the way
you do business.
189
00:07:11,675 --> 00:07:14,542
-All right, well, I'm gonna
move on, brother.
-Yes, sir.
190
00:07:14,544 --> 00:07:16,544
-Tater.
-Hey, bud. How are you?
191
00:07:16,546 --> 00:07:17,779
Spoon ain't long enough.
192
00:07:17,848 --> 00:07:19,447
I don't wanna do it too hard.
193
00:07:19,449 --> 00:07:21,149
Tell me about your mash build.
194
00:07:21,151 --> 00:07:22,450
What do you got
going on with it?
195
00:07:22,452 --> 00:07:24,986
[tater] I rounded me up
some frozen cherries
196
00:07:24,988 --> 00:07:26,654
And ground them up real good.
197
00:07:26,656 --> 00:07:29,157
-Uh-huh.
-I got me some
good black honey.
198
00:07:29,159 --> 00:07:31,292
Probably copper and locust.
199
00:07:31,394 --> 00:07:32,861
Just a little honey,
not a lot?
200
00:07:32,863 --> 00:07:34,462
[tater] I used
about two pounds
201
00:07:34,464 --> 00:07:37,832
And then I added
a 5-gallon bucket
full of white sugar.
202
00:07:37,834 --> 00:07:39,166
If it turns out, it does.
203
00:07:39,168 --> 00:07:41,002
If it don't,
we'll throw it out
and let the hogs eat it.
204
00:07:41,071 --> 00:07:42,136
-That's exactly right.
-[tater laughs]
205
00:07:42,138 --> 00:07:44,172
Them hogs will eat it,
I guarantee it.
206
00:07:44,174 --> 00:07:46,441
Well, I'm moving
on to your neighbor,
brother. Good luck.
207
00:07:46,443 --> 00:07:48,743
-Thank you, buddy.
You take care.
-Yeah, man.
208
00:07:48,745 --> 00:07:50,745
-Daniel.
-What's going on?
209
00:07:50,747 --> 00:07:52,881
[digger] coming in here to see
what you got going on.
210
00:07:52,949 --> 00:07:55,250
[daniel] I put eight gallons
of cherry puree
211
00:07:55,252 --> 00:07:58,353
And eight gallons
of wildflower honey.
212
00:07:59,089 --> 00:08:01,089
And then, I put
about 25 pounds
213
00:08:01,091 --> 00:08:03,291
Of this pure cane sugar.
214
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,694
The only worry I've got
is that it tastes
good in the end.
215
00:08:06,796 --> 00:08:09,097
I think that'll fit the bill,
but we'll just see.
216
00:08:09,198 --> 00:08:11,466
I promise you, we'll tell you
if it don't or it does.
217
00:08:11,601 --> 00:08:12,567
That's exactly right.
218
00:08:12,569 --> 00:08:13,768
[digger] all right, brother.
Carry on.
219
00:08:13,770 --> 00:08:15,103
All right, I appreciate you.
220
00:08:15,105 --> 00:08:17,472
Ah, hell, it'll still make
good liquor, daniel.
221
00:08:17,474 --> 00:08:18,906
[daniel] it will.
222
00:08:18,908 --> 00:08:22,076
[digger] and hell, if not,
we can always clean
car parts with it.
223
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,647
[daniel laughing]
224
00:08:25,649 --> 00:08:27,815
You got five minutes
left on the clock.
225
00:08:27,817 --> 00:08:30,552
If you ain't ready,
you better hurry.
226
00:08:30,554 --> 00:08:32,453
My money's gonna be
on richard landry.
227
00:08:32,455 --> 00:08:34,789
[digger] I'm gonna bank
on tater this time around.
228
00:08:34,858 --> 00:08:37,158
I think he's gonna make
richard earn his money.
229
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,594
They all have a chance,
'cause they all number one
at their game.
230
00:08:39,663 --> 00:08:40,895
[digger] you damn right.
231
00:08:40,897 --> 00:08:43,831
One of them's gonna pick one
of us to challenge against.
232
00:08:43,833 --> 00:08:44,966
This is gonna be tough.
233
00:08:44,968 --> 00:08:46,768
I hope it's you or digger.
234
00:08:46,770 --> 00:08:48,236
[digger] one minute, guys.
235
00:08:48,238 --> 00:08:50,405
Time to get them buttons
buttoned up.
236
00:08:58,648 --> 00:09:00,481
Five, four,
237
00:09:00,550 --> 00:09:02,250
Three, two...
238
00:09:03,253 --> 00:09:05,587
I don't even need to say one.
Y'all are done.
239
00:09:05,655 --> 00:09:06,888
Y'all head on out,
240
00:09:06,990 --> 00:09:08,156
We'll take care
of your barrels.
241
00:09:08,158 --> 00:09:09,991
We'll see you guys
in five days.
242
00:09:10,060 --> 00:09:11,459
Y'all head on out and warm up.
243
00:09:26,076 --> 00:09:27,342
Here we go, men.
244
00:09:27,344 --> 00:09:29,077
You beat three of the best,
245
00:09:29,079 --> 00:09:30,678
Got three of you left.
246
00:09:30,747 --> 00:09:32,146
We're gonna whittle
down to one.
247
00:09:32,148 --> 00:09:34,983
Next challenge is
the cherry bounce run,
248
00:09:34,985 --> 00:09:36,618
With the special judge,
249
00:09:36,620 --> 00:09:39,287
Mr. Cherry bounce himself,
josh owens.
250
00:09:39,389 --> 00:09:42,156
Hey, y'all. Y'all know me.
Cherry bounce is my thing.
251
00:09:42,158 --> 00:09:43,791
I'm excited to be here
for this today.
252
00:09:43,860 --> 00:09:45,760
We got big pressure
'cause josh is here.
253
00:09:45,762 --> 00:09:47,795
He's a real harsh critic
of this drink.
254
00:09:47,864 --> 00:09:49,664
You made
your cherry bounce mash.
255
00:09:49,666 --> 00:09:51,399
I hope it finished
working off,
256
00:09:51,468 --> 00:09:53,234
Because tater and daniel,
257
00:09:53,236 --> 00:09:56,638
You're going up against
the cherry bounce king
right here.
258
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,172
So I hope you
brought your a game.
259
00:09:58,174 --> 00:10:01,843
Richard landry has already
won a cherry bounce
competition before.
260
00:10:01,845 --> 00:10:04,278
I'd have one hell
of a hard time
running against him.
261
00:10:04,380 --> 00:10:05,880
You've got four hours
to give us
262
00:10:05,982 --> 00:10:08,983
Your best cherry bounce jar
on this table.
263
00:10:09,052 --> 00:10:12,153
Your four hours starts now.
264
00:10:12,155 --> 00:10:13,388
Get with it, guys.
265
00:10:19,763 --> 00:10:21,496
Good golly, miss molly.
266
00:10:21,597 --> 00:10:23,564
You know, I'm looking
down at my mash
267
00:10:23,566 --> 00:10:24,565
And I'm like,
268
00:10:24,567 --> 00:10:26,801
"damn, it's not worked out.
269
00:10:26,903 --> 00:10:27,869
I'm not real happy.
270
00:10:27,871 --> 00:10:29,771
You know, this looks
like some pretty mash.
271
00:10:29,773 --> 00:10:32,273
I just hope it's got
some alcohol in it.
272
00:10:32,275 --> 00:10:33,708
It don't smell like it does.
273
00:10:34,978 --> 00:10:37,645
Whenever I looked at my mash,
I was real tickled with it.
274
00:10:37,647 --> 00:10:39,847
It was showing
it had alcohol in it
275
00:10:39,849 --> 00:10:41,849
Had a good, tart taste to it.
276
00:10:41,851 --> 00:10:43,951
[daniel] tater, mine's sweet.
Is yours sweet?
277
00:10:43,953 --> 00:10:46,154
[tater] mine's a bit
like vinegar.
278
00:10:46,156 --> 00:10:48,890
I got a problem, daniel.
This alcohol is still working.
279
00:10:48,958 --> 00:10:50,391
-[daniel] oh, really?
-[richard] yeah.
280
00:10:50,460 --> 00:10:51,859
When I see that this
isn't worked off,
281
00:10:51,861 --> 00:10:52,894
My heart starts racing.
282
00:10:52,896 --> 00:10:54,796
I have a whole lot
of preservatives
283
00:10:54,864 --> 00:10:57,398
In these maraschino cherrie
that are affecting my yeast
284
00:10:57,500 --> 00:11:00,268
So I don't have a whole lot
of alcohol to work with.
285
00:11:00,270 --> 00:11:02,570
I'm using different cherries
than the last cherry bounce,
286
00:11:02,572 --> 00:11:05,006
So I'm experimenting on most
of the new recipe here.
287
00:11:05,108 --> 00:11:06,808
Well, me and you's
just the same.
288
00:11:10,346 --> 00:11:12,180
Tater, what all do you put
in your thump keg?
289
00:11:12,281 --> 00:11:15,583
[tater] my mash, I added
some cherry pie filling
290
00:11:15,651 --> 00:11:17,185
And some cherry juice to it.
291
00:11:17,253 --> 00:11:19,053
Use a little more
flavor, hopefully.
292
00:11:19,055 --> 00:11:20,988
[richard] they got alcohol
trapped up in these cherrie
293
00:11:20,990 --> 00:11:22,190
Through the ferment process
294
00:11:22,192 --> 00:11:24,492
Any little advantage
I could get, I'm gonna take
295
00:11:24,594 --> 00:11:26,461
[digger] how's that going
in your thumper, daniel?
296
00:11:26,463 --> 00:11:28,096
-Yes, sir.
-All right.
297
00:11:28,197 --> 00:11:30,164
I'm grasping at straws.
298
00:11:30,166 --> 00:11:32,300
Well, one of the things
to make a cherry bounce
299
00:11:32,368 --> 00:11:34,001
Is you gotta have
fresh cherries.
300
00:11:34,070 --> 00:11:36,571
-Tater used frozen
cherries, right?
-Yeah.
301
00:11:36,573 --> 00:11:39,173
Fresh froze cherries,
no preservatives added.
302
00:11:39,175 --> 00:11:41,242
[mark] now is that
not an oxymoron?
303
00:11:41,244 --> 00:11:42,576
"fresh froze"?
304
00:11:42,578 --> 00:11:45,279
-Well, they was froze
when they was fresh.
-[chuckles]
305
00:11:45,381 --> 00:11:46,481
[chuckles] what the heck?
306
00:11:46,582 --> 00:11:48,382
Whatever tater's got
is the best
307
00:11:48,484 --> 00:11:50,151
'cause them other men
just sucking mud.
308
00:11:50,153 --> 00:11:51,552
They ain't got no alcohol.
309
00:11:51,554 --> 00:11:53,354
This is not looking good
for me at all.
310
00:11:54,090 --> 00:11:55,490
I pray all the time,
311
00:11:55,558 --> 00:11:57,258
But I'm about to start praying
a little bit more right now,
312
00:11:57,260 --> 00:11:58,359
'cause this is trouble.
313
00:11:58,361 --> 00:11:59,694
This can get me sent home.
314
00:12:06,102 --> 00:12:08,069
Whatever tater's got
is the best,
315
00:12:08,071 --> 00:12:09,737
'cause them other men
just sucking mud.
316
00:12:09,739 --> 00:12:11,105
They ain't got no alcohol.
317
00:12:11,107 --> 00:12:12,807
[richard] this is not
looking good for me at all.
318
00:12:12,909 --> 00:12:14,375
This can get me sent home.
319
00:12:16,646 --> 00:12:18,146
Well, tater's got
his burner going.
320
00:12:18,148 --> 00:12:19,447
They're all lit.
321
00:12:19,449 --> 00:12:20,281
I'm excited.
322
00:12:20,383 --> 00:12:22,183
Well, we got
the cherry bounce king
323
00:12:22,285 --> 00:12:23,851
And we got the cherry
bounce champ.
324
00:12:23,853 --> 00:12:24,986
[mark] that's right.
325
00:12:24,988 --> 00:12:26,854
[tim] and then, we got two
cherry bounce runner-ups.
326
00:12:27,190 --> 00:12:28,089
Yeah.
327
00:12:28,091 --> 00:12:29,257
Well, it's getting hot.
328
00:12:29,259 --> 00:12:30,958
What's your temperature
over there?
329
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,360
155 degrees.
330
00:12:32,362 --> 00:12:33,795
Man, you at
150 degrees already?
331
00:12:33,896 --> 00:12:34,796
155 degrees.
332
00:12:34,864 --> 00:12:36,264
I'm just gonna let it run.
333
00:12:36,266 --> 00:12:37,999
I'm at 174 degrees.
334
00:12:39,602 --> 00:12:41,402
[tater] well, I'm just
at 160 degrees.
335
00:12:41,504 --> 00:12:42,670
And I'm at 180 degrees.
336
00:12:42,672 --> 00:12:44,872
That ain't a race,
but I'm trying to beat you.
337
00:12:44,874 --> 00:12:46,107
I heard you.
338
00:12:49,379 --> 00:12:51,145
What are you thinking, daniel?
339
00:12:53,082 --> 00:12:55,483
-I'm running liquor.
-[tater] drippity, drip, drip.
340
00:12:56,152 --> 00:12:57,485
He's got liquor coming out.
341
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,020
That ain't kool-aid.
342
00:12:59,022 --> 00:13:01,789
-It's dripping out of there?
-It looks like one of those...
On a tree.
343
00:13:01,891 --> 00:13:03,457
The liquor start
coming out the spout.
344
00:13:03,459 --> 00:13:05,793
I taste of it, and you can
taste the honey.
345
00:13:05,895 --> 00:13:06,961
You can taste
the cherry in it.
346
00:13:06,963 --> 00:13:08,563
It's exactly
what it's supposed to be.
347
00:13:09,499 --> 00:13:10,264
It's good?
348
00:13:10,767 --> 00:13:11,999
There's alcohol there,
349
00:13:12,068 --> 00:13:13,901
Just not a whole lot
of alcohol.
350
00:13:13,970 --> 00:13:15,102
Hey, hey.
351
00:13:16,306 --> 00:13:18,673
[richard] you hear it?
Oh, yeah.
352
00:13:20,977 --> 00:13:22,643
You're at what, 180 degrees?
353
00:13:22,645 --> 00:13:24,145
Yeah.
354
00:13:24,147 --> 00:13:25,980
Guys, you got two hours left.
355
00:13:25,982 --> 00:13:27,348
You're halfway through.
356
00:13:27,350 --> 00:13:28,349
[richard] tater,
you're running.
357
00:13:29,152 --> 00:13:30,885
[tater] well...
358
00:13:30,953 --> 00:13:33,054
I ain't even coming out
the thumper yet.
359
00:13:35,725 --> 00:13:38,292
[tater] I still got heads
coming out.
360
00:13:39,362 --> 00:13:40,294
[richard] all right.
361
00:13:41,464 --> 00:13:42,363
That's pretty.
362
00:13:46,603 --> 00:13:47,869
Smell like vinegar.
363
00:13:49,939 --> 00:13:51,238
[whistles]
364
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:52,773
[richard] that's fingernail
polish remover right there.
365
00:13:52,842 --> 00:13:56,844
It's running a lot of alcohol,
there ain't much flavor
in the alcohol part.
366
00:13:56,846 --> 00:13:58,579
That's the problem
when you got high alcohol.
367
00:13:59,449 --> 00:14:01,082
Can't get down to the horse.
368
00:14:01,183 --> 00:14:03,284
[richard] son of a [bleep].
369
00:14:03,353 --> 00:14:04,452
You still ain't run?
370
00:14:04,454 --> 00:14:05,653
I'm right here.
371
00:14:05,655 --> 00:14:07,255
It's taking forever
to start running.
372
00:14:07,257 --> 00:14:09,991
You know the old fable,
the turtle won the race.
373
00:14:10,092 --> 00:14:13,794
Yeah. [laughs] it smells good.
374
00:14:13,863 --> 00:14:15,463
[bleep] damn.
375
00:14:15,465 --> 00:14:17,899
When the liquor starts
coming out, it's coming out
kind of high initially,
376
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,068
But it's real cloudy,
so I probably won't be able
to get the one
377
00:14:21,070 --> 00:14:22,303
Really good jar out of here.
378
00:14:23,006 --> 00:14:24,438
One hour.
379
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,474
[tater] all right.
Richard, here's the test.
380
00:14:28,745 --> 00:14:31,279
Yeah, I believe
that's a little hot, eh?
381
00:14:31,347 --> 00:14:33,581
[richard] that's
a beautiful flame.
382
00:14:33,650 --> 00:14:36,651
[tater] well,
that jar of liquor,
that turn looks good, daniel.
383
00:14:36,653 --> 00:14:39,553
[daniel] I'm filtering now.
I'm trying to get the cloudy
out of it.
384
00:14:39,555 --> 00:14:42,456
But now it also robbed
some flavor too.
385
00:14:42,458 --> 00:14:44,392
[richard] gotta take
the good with the bad.
386
00:14:44,460 --> 00:14:47,261
After the first jar
was completely full,
387
00:14:47,263 --> 00:14:49,263
I seen I wasn't gonna
produce much.
388
00:14:49,265 --> 00:14:50,965
I stick the second
under there,
389
00:14:50,967 --> 00:14:54,068
And it gets up about half
a jar and it starts
falling off, so.
390
00:14:54,070 --> 00:14:55,870
I know I need to save
that alcohol,
391
00:14:55,872 --> 00:14:58,005
So I've got about a jar
and a quarter
392
00:14:58,074 --> 00:15:00,308
Of 50 to 60 proof alcohol
to work with,
393
00:15:00,376 --> 00:15:03,177
So I'm gonna filter it
a little, polish it up,
394
00:15:03,246 --> 00:15:06,013
And try to make best do
with what I've got.
395
00:15:06,015 --> 00:15:08,082
[digger] how's that mash
working out for you?
396
00:15:08,084 --> 00:15:11,552
Well, I would call that
flavored kool-aid.
397
00:15:11,554 --> 00:15:14,789
Very, very little alcohol
coming out of that.
398
00:15:14,857 --> 00:15:15,957
Weaker than cat piss.
399
00:15:15,959 --> 00:15:17,591
[daniel] cherries
are not in season.
400
00:15:17,660 --> 00:15:20,194
I have to use the maraschino
canned cherries.
401
00:15:20,296 --> 00:15:23,564
These old maraschino cherries,
you know, they're a tiny bit
acidic too.
402
00:15:23,566 --> 00:15:27,001
That's your answer
to why you mashed it
and kick off big.
403
00:15:27,103 --> 00:15:28,402
I'ma move on, brother.
404
00:15:28,471 --> 00:15:29,737
All right.
405
00:15:29,739 --> 00:15:31,305
-Tater.
-[tater] yes, sir.
406
00:15:31,407 --> 00:15:33,641
[digger] got any good flavor
in any of 'em jars?
407
00:15:33,643 --> 00:15:35,176
It's all right, but nah.
408
00:15:35,277 --> 00:15:37,578
-Ain't what
you looking for yet?
-No.
409
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,647
Of course, we ain't judging
on proof, remember that.
410
00:15:39,649 --> 00:15:40,781
We're judging on flavor.
411
00:15:40,883 --> 00:15:42,583
That's what I'm worried about.
412
00:15:42,652 --> 00:15:44,852
[digger] well, you're running
good stream there, tater.
413
00:15:44,854 --> 00:15:47,788
[tater] yeah, see if it's got
any alcohol there.
414
00:15:47,857 --> 00:15:50,524
[digger] well, that high proof
might be coming in too strong.
415
00:15:50,526 --> 00:15:52,393
[tater] it's a high
alcohol content,
416
00:15:52,495 --> 00:15:54,929
But there ain't much flavor
in the alcohol part of it.
417
00:15:54,931 --> 00:15:56,497
[digger] you happy with that?
418
00:15:56,599 --> 00:15:57,697
Not really.
419
00:15:57,767 --> 00:15:59,800
I wasn't worried about you
till I did that, tater.
420
00:16:00,703 --> 00:16:02,403
[tater] yeah,
it kind of worried me.
421
00:16:03,072 --> 00:16:04,305
[digger] richard.
422
00:16:04,307 --> 00:16:05,773
-Yes, sir.
-I don't know whether
that's a look
423
00:16:05,775 --> 00:16:07,274
Of concentration or concern.
424
00:16:09,078 --> 00:16:10,444
Concern.
425
00:16:10,446 --> 00:16:12,646
'cause there's not a lot
of alcohol in here.
426
00:16:12,648 --> 00:16:14,882
Well, there ain't
no alcohol in there, brother.
427
00:16:14,951 --> 00:16:16,516
I'm feeling
really disappointed.
428
00:16:16,518 --> 00:16:19,653
I should've went
with a more targeted yeast,
something a little better.
429
00:16:19,655 --> 00:16:22,723
Maraschino cherries
are good for one thing
when it comes into liquor.
430
00:16:22,725 --> 00:16:25,793
-That's putting in a jar
and pouring liquor over.
-Exactly.
431
00:16:25,862 --> 00:16:29,797
-I look forward to tasting
your liquor if you get any.
-If I get any. Thank you.
432
00:16:29,866 --> 00:16:30,965
I'm gonna pray
a little bit harder,
433
00:16:30,967 --> 00:16:32,266
That's the only
strategy I got.
434
00:16:32,268 --> 00:16:33,767
I have to flavor this drink
435
00:16:33,770 --> 00:16:37,304
This is a post flavor drink,
so I'm praying
that my post flavor
436
00:16:37,373 --> 00:16:40,741
Tastes so good that you forget
that there's very little
alcohol in it.
437
00:16:40,743 --> 00:16:42,877
The fat lady
is already singing.
438
00:16:42,945 --> 00:16:44,311
[tater]
well you's ain't lost yet.
439
00:16:44,380 --> 00:16:46,447
I still screwed it up
pretty real bad.
440
00:16:46,449 --> 00:16:48,449
Two that screwed the pooch
441
00:16:48,451 --> 00:16:51,252
And one's that trying
to overcome here.
442
00:16:51,254 --> 00:16:53,754
Daniel, his mash
didn't take off
443
00:16:53,756 --> 00:16:57,191
Due to those maraschino
cherries and the artificial
flavoring in it.
444
00:16:57,260 --> 00:16:58,459
-Yeah.
-[digger] kills your yeast.
445
00:16:58,461 --> 00:17:02,096
And richard sat
at the same stump
that daniel is.
446
00:17:02,165 --> 00:17:05,466
Maraschino cherries,
trying to get yeast to thriv
in that environment.
447
00:17:05,468 --> 00:17:07,468
Tater, he's made
a little liquor,
448
00:17:07,470 --> 00:17:09,870
But he hit a speed bump
in there somewhere.
449
00:17:09,872 --> 00:17:11,806
[tim] he's got
too much alcohol.
450
00:17:11,907 --> 00:17:14,575
[tater] I'm hoping I can get
that jar right there full.
451
00:17:14,677 --> 00:17:17,078
You're struggling to get
flavor out right now.
452
00:17:18,448 --> 00:17:20,147
I still got heads coming out.
453
00:17:21,484 --> 00:17:22,983
On my seventh jar,
454
00:17:23,085 --> 00:17:26,253
Was the first jar
that I tasted
any cherry in it at all.
455
00:17:26,255 --> 00:17:29,557
I mean, heck,
it's still rocking
at about 130 proof.
456
00:17:29,559 --> 00:17:31,559
'cause his is gonna
be too hot with no flavor.
457
00:17:31,561 --> 00:17:34,695
And he's gonna be
plenty of flavor,
and no alcohol.
458
00:17:34,764 --> 00:17:36,831
That's the problem
trying to make stuff
out of season.
459
00:17:36,833 --> 00:17:38,399
They gotta work
with what they have.
460
00:17:38,468 --> 00:17:41,068
Daniel and I are pretty much
having the same problem.
461
00:17:41,070 --> 00:17:43,270
Very, very low
alcohol content.
462
00:17:43,272 --> 00:17:45,439
Basically low proof
sugar water in a jar.
463
00:17:45,441 --> 00:17:47,575
Fifteen minutes, men.
464
00:17:48,978 --> 00:17:50,444
It got any better?
465
00:17:50,446 --> 00:17:53,247
I'm a realist and I know
this really doesn't look good.
466
00:17:53,249 --> 00:17:55,583
I'm really feeling
like my head
is on the chopping block here.
467
00:17:57,086 --> 00:17:59,887
My finished product
is cherry wine.
468
00:17:59,956 --> 00:18:01,789
After I stick the second one
under there,
469
00:18:01,824 --> 00:18:04,258
It gets up about like 50
to 60 proof.
470
00:18:04,260 --> 00:18:05,126
But that's not where
I want it to be.
471
00:18:05,128 --> 00:18:07,495
I'd like to be about 80 to 90.
472
00:18:07,563 --> 00:18:09,930
This competition
is about making alcohol
473
00:18:09,932 --> 00:18:11,565
And I know I've got
a killer flavor,
474
00:18:11,567 --> 00:18:13,567
But the alcohol
is just not there.
475
00:18:13,569 --> 00:18:15,669
This is the first time
I've ever made a jar of liquor
476
00:18:15,671 --> 00:18:17,171
That didn't have
no devils in it.
477
00:18:18,341 --> 00:18:19,406
I might be sent home.
478
00:18:19,475 --> 00:18:21,542
Well, good luck, fellers.
I'm out.
479
00:18:21,544 --> 00:18:23,644
The fat lady
is already singing.
480
00:18:27,984 --> 00:18:29,683
I'ma go ahead
and turn this jar in.
481
00:18:29,785 --> 00:18:32,052
-I'll walk right up there
with you.
-Well, come on with me.
482
00:18:32,054 --> 00:18:34,388
We'll leave tate,
look like he working
on number eight now.
483
00:18:34,490 --> 00:18:36,557
-Bring it in here, gentlemen.
-[richard] yep.
484
00:18:38,294 --> 00:18:40,461
[daniel] that's the best
we could do with what
we had to do with.
485
00:18:40,463 --> 00:18:41,662
-Good luck, men.
-Good luck, y'all.
486
00:18:44,767 --> 00:18:46,167
[tater] hot dang,
it's still high.
487
00:18:47,870 --> 00:18:49,036
[digger] tater.
488
00:18:49,038 --> 00:18:52,373
You got a minute and a half
to let that jar fill up,
489
00:18:52,508 --> 00:18:55,976
Rest, weigh, put a lid on it,
get it up here.
490
00:18:55,978 --> 00:18:58,445
You ain't got no time
for tampering, brother.
491
00:18:59,282 --> 00:19:04,151
Five, four, three, two, one.
492
00:19:04,153 --> 00:19:05,252
Boom.
493
00:19:05,254 --> 00:19:06,519
Good luck, buddy.
494
00:19:06,589 --> 00:19:08,856
[tater] I didn't have enoug
flavor in mine, so.
495
00:19:08,858 --> 00:19:11,158
It's got me nervous,
no [bleep].
496
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:12,860
Pour us a little something
up there, timmy.
497
00:19:12,862 --> 00:19:14,195
[tim] let's look at richard's.
498
00:19:16,566 --> 00:19:17,998
[digger]
it's a little bit cloudy.
499
00:19:18,100 --> 00:19:21,168
Yeah, everybody knows
richard's is low proof.
He said it.
500
00:19:21,971 --> 00:19:22,803
[josh] it's got aroma.
501
00:19:24,106 --> 00:19:25,606
It's got a good nose on it.
502
00:19:25,708 --> 00:19:26,874
Yeah, it smells good.
503
00:19:26,876 --> 00:19:28,142
[josh] smells like cherries.
504
00:19:28,144 --> 00:19:29,543
[digger] it's cherry.
505
00:19:29,545 --> 00:19:31,745
Tastes like cherry liquor
that two ice cubes
506
00:19:31,747 --> 00:19:33,681
About this big around
melted in.
507
00:19:33,749 --> 00:19:35,348
Yeah, it's pretty weak.
508
00:19:35,350 --> 00:19:38,352
This is his base spirit
and he forgot to bring
his spirit to the game.
509
00:19:38,354 --> 00:19:39,987
-[tim] not too much
base [laughs].
-Yeah.
510
00:19:40,056 --> 00:19:43,090
Richard won
cherry bounce contest.
511
00:19:43,092 --> 00:19:46,860
He said everything I used
on that run's not available
right time,
512
00:19:46,862 --> 00:19:48,462
But tells us
different seasons.
513
00:19:48,464 --> 00:19:51,765
It was a challenge.
They had to use
what they could get.
514
00:19:51,767 --> 00:19:55,069
I'm kind of upset
'cause I feel like I wanna go
start all over again.
515
00:19:55,071 --> 00:19:57,504
Well, it looks like tater tot.
516
00:19:57,573 --> 00:19:59,473
[mark] now that's
a clear jar right there.
517
00:20:01,244 --> 00:20:04,345
-Ah, he's brought something
to the party.
-[tim] yeah.
518
00:20:05,681 --> 00:20:06,680
She's up there.
519
00:20:07,950 --> 00:20:10,050
[mark] what do you say
on proof, tim?
520
00:20:10,052 --> 00:20:11,252
[tim] I'm gonna say 110.
521
00:20:13,256 --> 00:20:14,989
That smells really good.
522
00:20:15,090 --> 00:20:16,857
I'm getting honey,
but I'm not getting
cherry in there.
523
00:20:16,859 --> 00:20:19,393
I taste the honey
more I do the cherry, I think.
524
00:20:19,495 --> 00:20:21,595
[digger] yeah, I get
cherry on the nose,
525
00:20:21,664 --> 00:20:22,863
Honey on the palate.
526
00:20:22,865 --> 00:20:26,433
Tater brought the liquor,
but damn, it's fierce.
527
00:20:26,435 --> 00:20:27,868
How many jars
did you get out of that?
528
00:20:28,704 --> 00:20:30,537
Ah, seven, eight.
529
00:20:30,539 --> 00:20:32,206
[richard] did it come down
in proof?
530
00:20:32,208 --> 00:20:36,644
A little. I'm gonna have
to tinker with it and make it
bring the cherry out.
531
00:20:36,646 --> 00:20:39,346
He got high proof,
but this is cherry bounce
532
00:20:39,348 --> 00:20:41,649
And all I'm tasting's
really honey.
533
00:20:41,651 --> 00:20:42,950
Moving on.
534
00:20:42,952 --> 00:20:45,152
Here is daniel's cherry wine
535
00:20:45,154 --> 00:20:46,620
-Is what he's calling that.
-What's that?
What do you got?
536
00:20:46,622 --> 00:20:47,588
[laughs] cherry wine.
537
00:20:48,291 --> 00:20:50,457
It's not a bad cloudy at all.
538
00:20:50,459 --> 00:20:52,760
He filled it up
six or eight times.
539
00:20:53,663 --> 00:20:55,462
I don't think his
is as high as richard's.
540
00:20:55,464 --> 00:20:56,563
No.
541
00:20:56,631 --> 00:20:59,466
That's like straight water.
Watch it disappear.
542
00:20:59,468 --> 00:21:00,601
-That ain't nothing.
-[mark] no.
543
00:21:00,670 --> 00:21:02,369
He's lower proof than richard.
544
00:21:02,371 --> 00:21:06,006
The reason that I didn't
produce a hell of a lot
of alcohol
545
00:21:06,108 --> 00:21:08,275
Is 'cause I have to use
the maraschino cherries.
546
00:21:09,145 --> 00:21:11,645
That's some nice nose there.
547
00:21:11,647 --> 00:21:12,846
[tim] a little different.
548
00:21:12,914 --> 00:21:15,149
Got good flavor,
but there ain't no alcohol
in there.
549
00:21:15,151 --> 00:21:16,684
No alcohol.
550
00:21:16,785 --> 00:21:18,485
For their final flavoring run,
551
00:21:18,554 --> 00:21:21,288
-You use some of your reserve
high proof flavor...
-And blend it.
552
00:21:21,357 --> 00:21:22,823
Blend it
and bring your proof up.
553
00:21:22,825 --> 00:21:26,060
I'm just hoping
that the judges
likes a weak drink
554
00:21:26,062 --> 00:21:27,661
-That tastes real good,
that's what I'm hoping.
-[laughs]
555
00:21:27,663 --> 00:21:29,496
Now they might
just be looking for that.
556
00:21:29,598 --> 00:21:31,665
-[chuckles]
-well, good luck. Cheers.
557
00:21:31,667 --> 00:21:33,767
-Good luck.
-Cheers, my brother.
558
00:21:35,171 --> 00:21:36,370
We good here?
559
00:21:36,372 --> 00:21:37,738
-Yeah.
-[digger] I'm good.
560
00:21:37,740 --> 00:21:40,007
Josh, you're the guest,
go get them boys
and bring them back.
561
00:21:49,852 --> 00:21:51,685
Cut to the chase. Daniel.
562
00:21:51,754 --> 00:21:55,255
That was some of the most
tasty low proof liquor.
563
00:21:56,425 --> 00:21:58,092
Flavor's there, proof wasn't.
564
00:21:59,061 --> 00:22:02,096
Had that mash
had two weeks to work,
565
00:22:02,098 --> 00:22:03,797
You'd have had alcohol.
566
00:22:03,899 --> 00:22:05,399
[digger] tater.
567
00:22:05,501 --> 00:22:07,835
Yeah, you're gonna have
to work to bring that flavor
in there
568
00:22:07,837 --> 00:22:09,803
And sweeten them jars up
a little bit.
569
00:22:09,905 --> 00:22:13,474
It may be that you just didn't
run into your really
good jars yet.
570
00:22:13,476 --> 00:22:17,077
Tater, your problem
was you had too much
alcohol to run.
571
00:22:17,146 --> 00:22:19,346
But I couldn't get no cherry
out of it.
572
00:22:19,348 --> 00:22:20,247
Yeah.
573
00:22:20,315 --> 00:22:23,283
Richard. See the comments
made to dan.
574
00:22:23,385 --> 00:22:27,287
You had the flavor,
you just couldn't get
no alcohol.
575
00:22:27,389 --> 00:22:29,390
You guys did the best
you could with what you had.
576
00:22:29,458 --> 00:22:32,760
If y'all had used
some different cherries
and use some different yeast,
577
00:22:32,762 --> 00:22:35,763
That might've worked off
a little better for you guys.
578
00:22:35,765 --> 00:22:38,899
But hey, that's part
of making moonshine.
You live and you learn.
579
00:22:39,001 --> 00:22:41,168
As far as what you guys
had to work with,
580
00:22:41,170 --> 00:22:42,803
I think everybody
did a great job.
581
00:22:42,872 --> 00:22:44,471
Keep in mind,
582
00:22:44,473 --> 00:22:46,974
Every drop of liquor you got
you can't sell,
583
00:22:46,976 --> 00:22:48,341
It's substandard.
584
00:22:48,343 --> 00:22:51,545
You gotta be able to take
that liquor and bring it
above par,
585
00:22:51,547 --> 00:22:53,013
So you can sell it.
586
00:22:53,015 --> 00:22:58,652
Now you guys are going
to the farm stand to get
all new ingredients
587
00:22:58,654 --> 00:23:00,888
To fix the flaws
in your liquor
588
00:23:00,989 --> 00:23:04,091
Or to just enhance
what you already have.
589
00:23:04,193 --> 00:23:06,560
And in addition
to the produce,
590
00:23:06,562 --> 00:23:11,365
There is a sweet jar
of your corn liquor
from a previous run.
591
00:23:11,367 --> 00:23:13,267
It is hid in the farm stand.
592
00:23:14,003 --> 00:23:15,369
If you can find it,
593
00:23:15,371 --> 00:23:16,603
You're welcome to use it.
594
00:23:17,406 --> 00:23:18,705
All right, guys.
595
00:23:18,774 --> 00:23:20,808
The way you're going
into the farm stand,
596
00:23:22,077 --> 00:23:23,577
Tater, you're number one.
597
00:23:23,679 --> 00:23:25,145
Richard, you're number two.
598
00:23:25,147 --> 00:23:27,147
Daniel, you're number three.
599
00:23:27,149 --> 00:23:30,384
But we have a plan
to make it a little bit more
of a challenge.
600
00:23:30,486 --> 00:23:31,952
Nothing's ever easy
for a moonshiner
601
00:23:31,954 --> 00:23:34,388
And cooking your meals
is still a sight.
602
00:23:34,456 --> 00:23:35,789
That's what we had to do,
603
00:23:35,791 --> 00:23:38,826
So while you're out there,
you need to pull
some ingredients,
604
00:23:38,828 --> 00:23:42,663
And make us a backwoods meal
that pair with the cherry
bounce that you make.
605
00:23:44,967 --> 00:23:46,399
Tickle.
606
00:23:48,671 --> 00:23:51,004
-[tickle] well,
how are y'all's fellers doing?
-[tim] great.
607
00:23:51,073 --> 00:23:53,707
I need for you to take
these gentlemen
out to the farm stand.
608
00:23:53,776 --> 00:23:57,044
They need ingredients
to infuse to help
their cherry bounce,
609
00:23:57,046 --> 00:24:00,547
But they also need
some ingredients
to make a meal
610
00:24:00,549 --> 00:24:02,783
That pairs
with the cherry bounce.
611
00:24:02,852 --> 00:24:04,551
Well, anything goes
with liquor, right?
612
00:24:04,553 --> 00:24:06,987
[laughs] I guess so.
613
00:24:06,989 --> 00:24:07,988
[tickle laughs]
614
00:24:07,990 --> 00:24:09,689
All right, y'all,
come on with me.
615
00:24:13,162 --> 00:24:16,864
Well, you know, fellers,
they give me a couple of jars
of liquor to put in here.
616
00:24:16,866 --> 00:24:18,899
-[daniel] you didn't drink it,
did you?
-I drank one of 'em.
617
00:24:18,968 --> 00:24:20,367
It had your name on it.
618
00:24:20,369 --> 00:24:22,569
-[daniel] yeah [laughs].
-[tickle] it was
halfway decent.
619
00:24:22,571 --> 00:24:25,472
We here in farm stand today.
620
00:24:25,474 --> 00:24:29,743
Y'all not only gotta make
our judges up a good
cherry bounce,
621
00:24:29,745 --> 00:24:32,246
Y'all gotta make them
something to eat
to go with.
622
00:24:32,248 --> 00:24:35,682
And don't forgot,
you gotta find your jar
of liquor today.
623
00:24:35,784 --> 00:24:38,051
You gonna have three minutes
to do it.
624
00:24:38,053 --> 00:24:39,887
Tater, you're up first.
625
00:24:39,955 --> 00:24:41,555
Your time starts...
626
00:24:41,557 --> 00:24:42,656
...Now.
627
00:24:44,426 --> 00:24:45,959
All right, tater.
628
00:24:45,961 --> 00:24:48,896
Look, look.
Hey, we ain't making
onion bounce.
629
00:24:48,997 --> 00:24:50,564
You just gonna
feed 'em onions?
630
00:24:50,566 --> 00:24:52,466
-I probably will.
-Yeah?
631
00:24:52,468 --> 00:24:55,068
All right, he gonna feed them
onions and some beans.
632
00:24:55,070 --> 00:24:56,403
All right.
633
00:24:56,405 --> 00:24:59,806
I need to make the judges
something simple,
a lot like myself.
634
00:24:59,908 --> 00:25:02,843
I mean, you can't get
much better
than beans and onions.
635
00:25:02,845 --> 00:25:04,244
Two minutes left, tater.
636
00:25:04,246 --> 00:25:06,480
Get you some of them
tomaters right yonder.
637
00:25:06,582 --> 00:25:08,248
-Make some tomato bounce.
-That would be good.
638
00:25:08,250 --> 00:25:09,650
Make some tomato bounce.
639
00:25:09,652 --> 00:25:10,984
[tater] they need
some kind of bread.
640
00:25:11,053 --> 00:25:12,486
[tickle] get you some
of that bread right yonder.
641
00:25:12,588 --> 00:25:15,155
Make you some onion
and bean bread bounce.
642
00:25:15,157 --> 00:25:16,823
Uh-oh, got him some side meat.
643
00:25:16,825 --> 00:25:18,992
Minute and 30 seconds
left, tater.
644
00:25:18,994 --> 00:25:20,594
[tater] I believe
you're just hungry.
645
00:25:20,629 --> 00:25:23,463
Judge told me that I had
a high proof liquor,
646
00:25:23,465 --> 00:25:25,999
Just I didn't have enough
flavor in the alcohol.
647
00:25:26,001 --> 00:25:29,770
So my strategy is to get
some sweet cherries,
648
00:25:29,772 --> 00:25:32,506
Some sugar and a little
bit of honey.
649
00:25:32,608 --> 00:25:34,241
Okay, tater's got
cherry cider.
650
00:25:34,243 --> 00:25:36,543
-Thirty seconds left, tater.
-[tater] I'm good.
651
00:25:36,545 --> 00:25:39,146
All right, richard.
You got three minutes.
652
00:25:39,148 --> 00:25:41,648
Your time starts... Now.
653
00:25:42,451 --> 00:25:43,516
All right,
what are you gonna do?
654
00:25:43,518 --> 00:25:45,552
All right, we got more
onion bounce on the way.
655
00:25:45,554 --> 00:25:48,689
In the farm stand
I'm looking for my spices.
656
00:25:48,790 --> 00:25:50,557
Cinnamon, nutmeg, clove,
657
00:25:50,559 --> 00:25:53,293
But number one
is trying to find
my corn liquor
658
00:25:53,362 --> 00:25:54,461
And get the proof up.
659
00:25:54,463 --> 00:25:55,862
[daniel] have you found
any liquor yet?
660
00:25:55,864 --> 00:25:58,265
[richard] they ain't
got no liquor in here,
tickle drank it all.
661
00:25:58,267 --> 00:26:00,267
No telling where tickle
hid this liquor.
662
00:26:00,269 --> 00:26:03,370
He hides things so well,
he hides them from himself
sometimes.
663
00:26:04,673 --> 00:26:05,839
Oh.
664
00:26:05,841 --> 00:26:07,407
Did you just find something?
665
00:26:07,409 --> 00:26:11,144
-I just found something.
-You just found something,
did you? All right.
666
00:26:11,146 --> 00:26:12,546
Found one of my jars.
667
00:26:12,548 --> 00:26:14,648
This is a really easy fix
to bring my proof up.
668
00:26:14,650 --> 00:26:16,750
So now, I'm trying to get
some cherry juice.
669
00:26:16,752 --> 00:26:18,652
Something that's sweet
as possible
670
00:26:18,654 --> 00:26:19,853
With a whole lot of flavor.
671
00:26:19,855 --> 00:26:21,989
[tickle] one minute left,
richard.
672
00:26:22,024 --> 00:26:23,957
Uh-oh, man just found
some cherries.
673
00:26:23,959 --> 00:26:26,593
Don't forget, you gotta cook.
You gotta shop for groceries.
674
00:26:26,662 --> 00:26:28,562
My mom used to make
the best smothered potatoes,
675
00:26:28,564 --> 00:26:30,631
So I'm gonna grab
some potatoes,
676
00:26:30,633 --> 00:26:32,199
I'm gonna grab some meat,
some bell peppers
677
00:26:32,300 --> 00:26:35,302
And I'm gonna give them
a taste of what my mom
678
00:26:35,371 --> 00:26:36,470
Would give me when I'm hungry.
679
00:26:37,172 --> 00:26:39,072
[tickle] ten, nine,
680
00:26:39,074 --> 00:26:41,241
Eight, seven, six.
681
00:26:41,243 --> 00:26:43,477
He don't even need
the last five seconds.
682
00:26:43,479 --> 00:26:44,645
All right.
683
00:26:44,647 --> 00:26:48,982
Daniel, you got three minutes
staring now.
684
00:26:49,084 --> 00:26:51,752
All right, look, we got
more onions and tater bounce.
685
00:26:51,754 --> 00:26:54,554
I'll tell you what. All right.
686
00:26:54,556 --> 00:26:55,956
That's gonna be good
right yonder.
687
00:26:56,558 --> 00:26:57,591
Come on, daniel.
688
00:26:57,660 --> 00:26:59,092
What are you finding in there?
689
00:26:59,094 --> 00:27:00,460
You finding anything
worth anything?
690
00:27:00,462 --> 00:27:02,896
-[daniel] no!
-No? Nothing?
691
00:27:03,632 --> 00:27:05,599
You got two minutes.
692
00:27:05,668 --> 00:27:08,769
My number one objective
is to go into the farm stand
693
00:27:08,771 --> 00:27:10,737
And try my best
to find my liquor.
694
00:27:10,739 --> 00:27:13,073
If I don't find this liquor,
my ship's sunk.
695
00:27:13,075 --> 00:27:16,076
-I'm not finding anything.
-[tickle] you're not...
It is in there.
696
00:27:16,078 --> 00:27:17,978
-[daniel] I don't see it.
-Keep looking.
697
00:27:23,352 --> 00:27:25,352
You got two minutes.
698
00:27:25,354 --> 00:27:27,754
-I'm not finding any liquor.
-[tickle] you're not?
It is in there.
699
00:27:27,756 --> 00:27:29,589
-I don't see it.
-Keep looking.
700
00:27:29,658 --> 00:27:32,159
If I don't find this liquor
my ship's sunk.
701
00:27:32,161 --> 00:27:34,761
[tickle] there might be
some cherry jelly up there.
702
00:27:34,763 --> 00:27:36,697
Hey, you find you
any cherry jelly?
703
00:27:36,765 --> 00:27:38,665
-Yeah I did.
-[tickle] did you,
all right!
704
00:27:38,667 --> 00:27:40,901
The jar of corn liquor
that I found
705
00:27:41,002 --> 00:27:43,837
It's a relief for me because
my next objective would be
706
00:27:43,839 --> 00:27:48,341
To find some fresh cherries
and little bit of cherry juice
and a few spices.
707
00:27:48,343 --> 00:27:49,876
[tickle] you got
a minute left.
708
00:27:49,945 --> 00:27:51,578
[daniel] for the judges meal
709
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,082
I thought I'd make
fried potatoes and onions
and some salt pork meat.
710
00:27:55,084 --> 00:28:00,420
Five, four, three, two, one
711
00:28:00,422 --> 00:28:02,589
Time's up, daniel.
712
00:28:02,658 --> 00:28:04,191
Okay.
713
00:28:04,226 --> 00:28:08,862
Looks like we had us
a very successful
farm stand pick, guys.
714
00:28:08,864 --> 00:28:11,264
-Let's head on back in there.
-[richard] let's do it.
715
00:28:11,266 --> 00:28:14,468
[tickle] all right.
You can't just stand there
eating cherries.
716
00:28:23,045 --> 00:28:24,377
[digger] welcome back.
717
00:28:24,479 --> 00:28:27,247
Looks like y'all found
everything you need, I trust.
718
00:28:27,249 --> 00:28:28,849
How about you liquor?
Who found their liquor?
719
00:28:30,853 --> 00:28:32,652
All right, men.
Y'all know the deal.
720
00:28:32,654 --> 00:28:34,888
You got one hour
to get your liquor corrected.
721
00:28:34,957 --> 00:28:37,324
But, you'll also fix
a really nice meal
722
00:28:37,326 --> 00:28:40,093
To pair well
with your chosen beverage.
723
00:28:40,162 --> 00:28:43,096
Get us a decent
drink of liquor
up here on this table.
724
00:28:43,198 --> 00:28:45,966
One hour. Time starts now.
725
00:28:45,968 --> 00:28:47,667
-Get with it, guys.
-[mark] good luck, men.
726
00:28:53,542 --> 00:28:57,077
Thing about it is,
tater's just got to
change his flavor.
727
00:28:57,079 --> 00:28:59,946
These other guys
just gotta work on
their proof.
728
00:28:59,948 --> 00:29:02,349
I'm worrying about liquor.
Then we'll worry about food.
729
00:29:02,351 --> 00:29:05,352
The jar of cherry bounce
that I ran off outta the still
730
00:29:05,354 --> 00:29:07,354
Is probably around
50 to 60 proof.
731
00:29:07,356 --> 00:29:10,457
So, I'm gonna
take the jar that I found
in the fruit stand
732
00:29:10,459 --> 00:29:12,993
And put it in with
the cherry bounce.
733
00:29:13,094 --> 00:29:14,861
I know I gotta
step my game up
734
00:29:14,863 --> 00:29:16,963
To make it through
this part of the competition.
735
00:29:16,965 --> 00:29:19,399
Now, that jar looks like
liquor's supposed to look,
daniel.
736
00:29:19,501 --> 00:29:20,901
[daniel] yeah,
it's some good stuff there.
737
00:29:22,004 --> 00:29:23,370
[josh] what about you richard?
738
00:29:23,372 --> 00:29:26,039
I'mma do a cherry bounce
the way I did it last time
I was here.
739
00:29:26,041 --> 00:29:28,675
The proof of my jar
is probably in the low 50's.
740
00:29:28,744 --> 00:29:31,278
So, having another jar
is gonna help me out big tim
741
00:29:31,379 --> 00:29:34,447
I just need to mix
my two liquors together
and bring my proof up.
742
00:29:34,449 --> 00:29:36,283
Now I'm gonna
cut up some cherries.
743
00:29:36,351 --> 00:29:38,552
Get some cherry juice
and put that into the pot.
744
00:29:38,554 --> 00:29:41,822
I add my honey to it.
Add my spices together.
Let that cook down.
745
00:29:41,824 --> 00:29:45,158
And then I'll have something
that I could really make
a proper cherry bounce with.
746
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,594
-[digger] tater's making
a horrible mess.
-[tim] yeah.
747
00:29:47,663 --> 00:29:51,665
It's gonna look like
a crime scene with all that
cherry juice split everywhere.
748
00:29:51,667 --> 00:29:54,568
My cherry bounce
ain't had much flavor
in the alcohol.
749
00:29:54,570 --> 00:29:57,671
So, I'm gonna use
a lot of cherries
honey to fix.
750
00:29:57,673 --> 00:29:59,906
Gentlemen, 30 minutes left.
751
00:29:59,975 --> 00:30:02,642
Richard down there fixin'
to fry up a tater.
752
00:30:02,644 --> 00:30:03,977
[mark] daniel's serious
over here.
753
00:30:04,079 --> 00:30:06,980
He ain't making no small talk,
he's fixin' his liquor.
754
00:30:08,483 --> 00:30:10,083
[digger] didn't like
that apparently.
755
00:30:10,085 --> 00:30:11,651
Back to the drawing board.
756
00:30:11,653 --> 00:30:13,086
[daniel] it's actually
a little higher
than I want it.
757
00:30:13,088 --> 00:30:15,956
And I wanna make sure
I've got my alcohol
the way I want it,
758
00:30:15,958 --> 00:30:17,190
Before I start cooking.
759
00:30:17,292 --> 00:30:19,226
[digger] I like
where tater's going.
760
00:30:19,228 --> 00:30:21,261
What are you
cooking over there?
What are you doing?
761
00:30:21,263 --> 00:30:22,996
[tater] I'm fixin'
some red beans
762
00:30:23,031 --> 00:30:24,998
I always put onions
in my beans.
763
00:30:25,067 --> 00:30:28,001
You can't get much better
than beans and onions.
764
00:30:28,003 --> 00:30:29,169
Heck, that's really good.
765
00:30:29,171 --> 00:30:32,272
Fifteen minutes left
to get that meal on the table
766
00:30:32,274 --> 00:30:35,141
And that liquor
in our bellies.
767
00:30:35,143 --> 00:30:37,677
-Daniel, you better
get to cooking.
-[daniel chuckles]
768
00:30:37,746 --> 00:30:39,045
[daniel] yes,
they want the meal.
769
00:30:39,114 --> 00:30:42,582
But, ultimately,
this competition
is about making alcohol.
770
00:30:43,452 --> 00:30:45,151
I've got the flavors
that I need.
771
00:30:45,153 --> 00:30:46,753
It's around 80 to 90 proof.
772
00:30:46,755 --> 00:30:49,456
Exactly the way I want it,
time to start cooking.
773
00:30:49,458 --> 00:30:52,993
So, dan-man,
what's happening, buddy?
You gettin' her worked out?
774
00:30:53,061 --> 00:30:55,195
Well, I think I've got
my liquor where I want it.
775
00:30:55,263 --> 00:30:56,662
What'd you do to change it?
776
00:30:56,664 --> 00:30:59,799
I took my high proof
and I took just a little
of the low proof
777
00:30:59,868 --> 00:31:02,269
And poured 'em in on some
busted up cherries.
778
00:31:02,271 --> 00:31:04,771
And then I worked it
back and forth until I got
779
00:31:04,773 --> 00:31:07,207
A melody in between
honey and cherry.
780
00:31:07,309 --> 00:31:08,475
Right on.
781
00:31:08,477 --> 00:31:10,777
I've got it up where,
I'm gonna say, that jar is...
782
00:31:12,180 --> 00:31:13,747
80 to 90 proof.
783
00:31:13,749 --> 00:31:15,181
So I believe it...
784
00:31:15,250 --> 00:31:17,651
I believe that we're
all right as far as
the liquor.
785
00:31:17,653 --> 00:31:19,452
Okay. Good luck.
786
00:31:19,454 --> 00:31:21,087
All right, tater.
What you got going on?
787
00:31:21,189 --> 00:31:23,890
I'm trying to get the flavor
into my liquor.
788
00:31:23,992 --> 00:31:25,225
How you feel like it's going?
789
00:31:25,227 --> 00:31:27,694
For my first run
of cherry bounce ever,
790
00:31:27,763 --> 00:31:29,329
I think it's gonna
turn out all right.
791
00:31:29,331 --> 00:31:31,298
That's good.
Think you're gonna
get it worked out?
792
00:31:31,366 --> 00:31:32,999
I don't know.
I'll try, like everything.
793
00:31:33,068 --> 00:31:35,468
-Good luck.
-Thanks, buddy.
794
00:31:35,470 --> 00:31:37,804
So, richard,
what are you doing to correct
your liquor over here?
795
00:31:37,906 --> 00:31:41,041
Well, this is some
of that good corn that I made.
It's high proof.
796
00:31:41,043 --> 00:31:44,444
So, I mixed that with my
cherry bounce that I made.
797
00:31:44,446 --> 00:31:47,747
-And that came out
to be a nice clear jar.
-It is awful clear.
798
00:31:47,749 --> 00:31:50,083
Good recipe
going right there.
799
00:31:50,085 --> 00:31:52,385
That's, kind of,
my cherry bounce additive.
800
00:31:52,454 --> 00:31:53,887
I got all the spices
that go in there.
801
00:31:53,956 --> 00:31:55,355
And I got the fresh cherries
in there.
802
00:31:55,357 --> 00:31:57,724
-Some good cherry juice
in the drink.
-It smells good.
803
00:31:57,726 --> 00:31:59,893
Got some good honey in it.
It won't be overpowering.
804
00:31:59,962 --> 00:32:03,296
I'mma give that a good
manageable level
right there in the drink.
805
00:32:03,398 --> 00:32:04,831
-Good luck.
-Thank you, bro.
806
00:32:04,833 --> 00:32:07,000
I'm ready for
some of this food, y'all.
807
00:32:07,002 --> 00:32:10,904
Josh, I have to be careful,
or I'll end like you are,
right here doing this.
808
00:32:11,006 --> 00:32:13,807
-Oh, you gonna be
missing a finger?
-Yeah, I might.
809
00:32:13,908 --> 00:32:17,577
I know I'm short on time.
And potatoes and onions
take some time.
810
00:32:17,679 --> 00:32:19,145
Guys, you got 10 minutes.
811
00:32:19,147 --> 00:32:20,780
Better make 'em count.
812
00:32:20,882 --> 00:32:22,349
[daniel] do we have to
turn a meal in?
813
00:32:22,351 --> 00:32:23,950
Yeah, we asked you to.
814
00:32:23,952 --> 00:32:26,586
-Daniel, you better
get to cooking.
-[bleep]
815
00:32:26,655 --> 00:32:29,923
If you pan fry
potatoes and onions,
it's gonna take a little bit.
816
00:32:29,925 --> 00:32:33,093
But, if you deep fry it,
so to speak,
it won't take as long.
817
00:32:33,095 --> 00:32:36,463
-Better get on it.
-Can't turn it up too much,
we'll have a fire.
818
00:32:36,465 --> 00:32:39,366
[tater laughing]
I'm not use to cherry bounce.
819
00:32:39,368 --> 00:32:41,901
And I'm in a hurry to fix.
820
00:32:41,970 --> 00:32:43,570
How's it looking, tater?
821
00:32:43,572 --> 00:32:47,374
[tater] I'm trying to get
this cherry bounce right.
Might have to add more.
822
00:32:47,376 --> 00:32:48,842
It's a little too hot.
823
00:32:48,844 --> 00:32:50,844
But, I've got
a limited amount of time.
824
00:32:50,846 --> 00:32:52,679
So, that kinda worried me.
825
00:32:52,781 --> 00:32:54,147
[tim] you've got something
cooking right there,
826
00:32:54,149 --> 00:32:55,882
'cause the smoke's
coming off of it.
827
00:32:55,984 --> 00:32:58,852
[richard] I don't know
if I'mma turn this pork in.
828
00:32:58,854 --> 00:33:00,453
This has been
a tedious process.
829
00:33:00,455 --> 00:33:02,956
Now, the pork loin's
not finished yet.
830
00:33:02,958 --> 00:33:05,658
I'm a little nervous.
I hope I'm still standing
at the end.
831
00:33:05,660 --> 00:33:08,094
One minute, men.
832
00:33:09,398 --> 00:33:11,965
[tater] it's very hard
to please four
different palates.
833
00:33:11,967 --> 00:33:14,601
Four people can judge it
four different ways.
834
00:33:14,669 --> 00:33:18,671
And I hope that I've hit
all four of what they
looking for.
835
00:33:18,673 --> 00:33:20,673
Daniel, you made hog jowl?
836
00:33:20,675 --> 00:33:22,442
-Yep.
-Well.
837
00:33:22,444 --> 00:33:25,845
I've got my cherry bounce
made exactly the way
that I want it.
838
00:33:25,847 --> 00:33:28,782
Now, I just hope
the potatoes done,
and I hope they like it.
839
00:33:28,850 --> 00:33:30,250
[richard] y'all ready
for this?
840
00:33:30,252 --> 00:33:31,651
I got my drink
where I need it to be,
841
00:33:31,653 --> 00:33:33,086
I mixed my
two liquors together.
842
00:33:33,188 --> 00:33:34,754
I got a good 110.
843
00:33:34,756 --> 00:33:37,357
But, I don't think
the pork loin is finished,
that's a problem.
844
00:33:37,359 --> 00:33:39,259
I could be gone
after this competition,
845
00:33:39,261 --> 00:33:40,560
This could be
the end right here.
846
00:33:43,665 --> 00:33:45,098
-You ain't gonna
eat no mayonnaise?
-[josh] heck, no.
847
00:33:45,100 --> 00:33:48,101
I wouldn't eat a spoon full
of mayonnaise for $500.
848
00:33:48,103 --> 00:33:49,936
-[richard] I got $500,
right here.
-Well, you can keep it.
849
00:33:49,938 --> 00:33:52,672
I'd rather eat that cockroach
you tried to get me to eat
last time.
850
00:33:52,674 --> 00:33:55,575
-[richard laughing]
-you know,
I use to like mayonnaise.
851
00:33:56,178 --> 00:33:58,078
Because these two guys,
852
00:33:58,146 --> 00:33:59,646
I ain't mentioning no names,
853
00:33:59,648 --> 00:34:02,782
But they showed up my house
with a truck load
of mayonnaise.
854
00:34:02,818 --> 00:34:06,786
-Ugh!
-And I had to empty it out
and give it to my ol' hog.
855
00:34:08,256 --> 00:34:10,190
[digger] well,
he's going for it before
it gets in the trough.
856
00:34:10,291 --> 00:34:12,559
[mark] ain't never had
nothing like that before,
has he?
857
00:34:12,561 --> 00:34:15,462
He'll chew his own
damn ear off if he could
get to it, wouldn't he?
858
00:34:15,464 --> 00:34:18,698
-[tater] yeah,
he's eating that, buddy.
-How's that hog fair?
859
00:34:18,766 --> 00:34:21,167
-He ain't wormy anymore.
-There ya go.
860
00:34:21,169 --> 00:34:22,802
Pretty cool he ain't calling
no names.
861
00:34:22,838 --> 00:34:25,772
But, I bet their initials
was mark ramsey
and digger manes.
862
00:34:25,774 --> 00:34:28,074
-Handsome son [bleep].
-You dang gone right.
863
00:34:28,076 --> 00:34:30,276
-[all laughing]
-yep.
864
00:34:35,150 --> 00:34:37,150
All right, guys.
You're under a minute.
865
00:34:37,152 --> 00:34:38,985
Tater's coming up
with some taters.
866
00:34:39,087 --> 00:34:41,154
-[tater] I knew tim like that.
-[mark] oh look at that,
that's pretty.
867
00:34:41,156 --> 00:34:44,257
[tim] no,
he ain't got no taters.
He's got tomatoes and beans.
868
00:34:44,259 --> 00:34:46,059
-[richard] you all right,
daniel?
-I reckon.
869
00:34:46,061 --> 00:34:47,160
As good as I'll ever be.
870
00:34:47,863 --> 00:34:50,763
[digger] ten, nine, eight,
871
00:34:50,765 --> 00:34:53,666
Seven, six, five,
872
00:34:53,668 --> 00:34:57,470
Four, three, two, one.
873
00:34:58,473 --> 00:35:00,073
All right, guys.
Y'all head on out.
874
00:35:00,075 --> 00:35:02,976
We're gonna enjoy this food
and this delightful beverage.
875
00:35:02,978 --> 00:35:06,279
We make a decision,
we're gonna come get y'all
and cut somebody loose.
876
00:35:06,348 --> 00:35:08,181
[daniel] all right.
Give us a holler.
877
00:35:08,183 --> 00:35:10,450
I'll serve the alcohol,
you serve the food.
878
00:35:10,452 --> 00:35:11,584
Fair enough.
879
00:35:11,652 --> 00:35:14,087
-Get your bowl there, josh.
-All of it looks good.
880
00:35:14,089 --> 00:35:16,389
-[josh slurping]
-[digger] let's see
what the taterbug's got.
881
00:35:16,458 --> 00:35:17,590
A tatermato sandwich.
882
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:19,959
Boy, that's a good 'mater.
883
00:35:19,961 --> 00:35:22,262
It's off the chain good.
884
00:35:22,264 --> 00:35:24,597
I had a lot of good teachers
with that.
885
00:35:24,699 --> 00:35:26,699
It took me years
to get him taught
how to do it.
886
00:35:26,768 --> 00:35:30,203
-[all laughing]
-[richard] I wanna learn
how to do it.
887
00:35:30,305 --> 00:35:32,105
[digger] let's try
richard's pork loin.
888
00:35:32,541 --> 00:35:33,706
Hell yeah.
889
00:35:33,808 --> 00:35:36,576
Oh, it's perfect.
Just a little over
medium-rare.
890
00:35:36,645 --> 00:35:37,944
Not cooked dry.
891
00:35:37,946 --> 00:35:39,345
Yeah, it's pretty good.
892
00:35:39,347 --> 00:35:42,148
Most people that can
make moonshine
can really cook well.
893
00:35:42,150 --> 00:35:43,950
I was prepared
to have to do all that stuff.
894
00:35:44,686 --> 00:35:45,552
[digger] do daniel.
895
00:35:46,188 --> 00:35:47,453
Put some in there, please.
896
00:35:47,455 --> 00:35:48,888
-[digger] there ya go.
-There ya go.
897
00:35:48,990 --> 00:35:51,090
Daniel's fat back
is off the chain.
898
00:35:51,092 --> 00:35:52,158
[mark] oh, my.
899
00:35:53,662 --> 00:35:54,761
They all done good.
900
00:35:54,763 --> 00:35:57,363
I'm hoping that they corrected
their cherry bounce
901
00:35:57,365 --> 00:35:58,965
As good as they cooked
this meal.
902
00:35:58,967 --> 00:36:00,567
They had their work
cut out for 'em.
903
00:36:00,569 --> 00:36:02,769
Josh, you're the baby
at the table.
904
00:36:02,771 --> 00:36:04,504
Get these dishes cleaned up.
905
00:36:04,606 --> 00:36:06,472
-Ah, hell.
-Yeah, you the kid.
906
00:36:07,909 --> 00:36:10,176
[digger] here is
what we're here for.
907
00:36:10,245 --> 00:36:11,778
And richard's closest to me.
908
00:36:13,982 --> 00:36:16,583
[mark] he went to his recipe
that he used for
909
00:36:16,651 --> 00:36:18,351
The cherry bounce
contest he won.
910
00:36:18,353 --> 00:36:20,753
Richard you're
the cherry bounce man.
911
00:36:20,755 --> 00:36:24,257
Yeah, I'm kinda upset.
'cause this was my time
to shine, right here.
912
00:36:25,660 --> 00:36:27,060
[tim] smells like cherry,
don't it?
913
00:36:27,062 --> 00:36:28,461
[digger] that's cherry bounce.
914
00:36:29,064 --> 00:36:30,663
Got a little tart.
915
00:36:30,665 --> 00:36:35,068
Good honey in there.
It doesn't finish off sweet,
it finishes a little dry.
916
00:36:35,070 --> 00:36:38,404
Well, you can really
tell what proof it is,
'cause it's so smooth.
917
00:36:38,506 --> 00:36:40,673
It's got such deep flavor.
918
00:36:40,675 --> 00:36:43,576
With the rich flavor
of richard's cherry bounce
919
00:36:43,645 --> 00:36:46,846
And the light flavor
of that little pork
tenderloin he did.
920
00:36:46,848 --> 00:36:49,148
I think it went together
like beer and pizza.
921
00:36:49,150 --> 00:36:50,850
It was just
meant to be together.
922
00:36:50,852 --> 00:36:52,785
[digger] let's see
what the taterbug's got.
923
00:36:52,854 --> 00:36:54,087
The original flavor's there.
924
00:36:54,155 --> 00:36:56,256
Now, I've gotta
match that flavor.
925
00:36:56,258 --> 00:36:58,157
And make it
bring that cherry out.
926
00:36:58,159 --> 00:37:00,860
His taste profile
is totally different.
927
00:37:00,862 --> 00:37:03,696
When it comes to cherry bounce
it's gotta have that tartness.
928
00:37:03,765 --> 00:37:06,132
-He doesn't have the tart.
-I think it's good.
929
00:37:06,134 --> 00:37:07,467
Yeah, but it's weak.
930
00:37:07,469 --> 00:37:09,736
He put that juice
in there when it's too hot.
931
00:37:09,738 --> 00:37:11,437
It cooked that liquor
outta there.
932
00:37:11,439 --> 00:37:15,608
-Sure does taste good though.
-It really matched up well
to his acidic tomato.
933
00:37:15,644 --> 00:37:17,977
Let's see if daniel's
done anything there.
934
00:37:18,046 --> 00:37:20,079
Now, he's got
a different color
going on here.
935
00:37:20,081 --> 00:37:24,984
His original jar
had nothing in it
but just good flavor.
936
00:37:24,986 --> 00:37:26,386
Well, the bee don't go away.
937
00:37:27,155 --> 00:37:28,955
This time,
I've got a clear jar
938
00:37:28,957 --> 00:37:30,657
And I've got a [bleep] load
of alcohol proof.
939
00:37:30,659 --> 00:37:32,358
Mean, it's got
just enough sweet.
940
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:33,960
And that liquor
comes in there
941
00:37:33,962 --> 00:37:37,363
And then that tartness,
it kinda locks your jaw
just a little bit.
942
00:37:37,365 --> 00:37:41,000
When you ate his food,
and you tasted
his cherry bounce,
943
00:37:41,102 --> 00:37:42,535
It was perfect.
944
00:37:42,537 --> 00:37:45,004
I think they did
an amazing job for what they
had to work with.
945
00:37:45,106 --> 00:37:46,306
They brought their a game.
946
00:37:46,374 --> 00:37:48,274
Well fellas,
it's down to us three.
947
00:37:49,244 --> 00:37:50,343
Soon it's gonna be two.
948
00:37:50,345 --> 00:37:52,245
You gonna
go fetch 'em, josh?
949
00:37:52,247 --> 00:37:53,846
-Yes, sir.
-[digger] all right, joshy.
950
00:38:04,259 --> 00:38:06,259
Welcome back, men.
951
00:38:06,261 --> 00:38:09,262
We'll tell ya what,
no more making liquor for ya.
952
00:38:09,264 --> 00:38:11,597
Just gonna follow us around
cooking for us.
953
00:38:11,699 --> 00:38:14,367
-We'll make the liquor.
Y'all do the cooking.
-[all laughing]
954
00:38:15,170 --> 00:38:17,170
Daniel, you...
955
00:38:18,406 --> 00:38:21,007
Did a wonderful job
getting that back around.
956
00:38:21,843 --> 00:38:24,377
Finished off well.
Had good liquor.
957
00:38:24,445 --> 00:38:26,546
Sweet up front,
then that liquor bite,
958
00:38:26,548 --> 00:38:28,348
Then that little tart
from the cherries.
959
00:38:28,350 --> 00:38:30,249
Could add just
a little bit more tart.
960
00:38:30,251 --> 00:38:32,652
Believe you the top
to market across the country.
961
00:38:33,388 --> 00:38:35,187
[mark] big head,
962
00:38:35,256 --> 00:38:39,192
I was real impressed with,
you was gonna take that real,
real low proof, weak liquor
963
00:38:39,293 --> 00:38:41,361
And do something
with it first.
964
00:38:41,363 --> 00:38:42,762
-Thank you.
-The proof's spot on.
965
00:38:42,764 --> 00:38:44,731
Flavor is outstanding.
966
00:38:44,733 --> 00:38:47,100
-Thank you.
-You alcohol smelt
just like cherry.
967
00:38:47,201 --> 00:38:50,670
And that was the first thing
I noticed is it had
a powerful cherry smell.
968
00:38:50,672 --> 00:38:51,771
I appreciate it.
969
00:38:52,674 --> 00:38:53,740
Richard,
970
00:38:54,843 --> 00:38:56,943
You know,
you're the cherry bounce
champion.
971
00:38:56,945 --> 00:39:00,046
Started out a little behind
the eight ball today.
972
00:39:00,048 --> 00:39:04,450
But, you had the time to
put the thought into what you
wanted to do to your liquor.
973
00:39:04,452 --> 00:39:07,153
Flavor, spot on. Proof's good.
974
00:39:07,155 --> 00:39:09,655
-It's what cherry bounce is,
richard.
-Thank you.
975
00:39:09,657 --> 00:39:11,557
You lived up to
your standards, buddy.
976
00:39:11,559 --> 00:39:14,861
You cooked, juiced up
that pectin to make it
good and tart.
977
00:39:14,863 --> 00:39:17,196
Across the board,
it was the tartest liquor
we had.
978
00:39:17,232 --> 00:39:18,998
And that's part
of cherry bounce.
979
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,968
-Thank you.
-I mean, we knew
you the cherry bounce man.
980
00:39:21,970 --> 00:39:23,403
But, you off the chain now.
981
00:39:23,504 --> 00:39:25,338
I think you're proof
was right on the money too.
982
00:39:25,340 --> 00:39:26,706
Thank you.
983
00:39:26,708 --> 00:39:29,776
Tater, I feel like
you might of over corrected
a little bit.
984
00:39:31,446 --> 00:39:34,247
Now, your liquor proof
probably the lowest
across the board.
985
00:39:34,249 --> 00:39:36,783
You had put
that juice in there
when it's too hot.
986
00:39:36,851 --> 00:39:38,251
It cooked that liquor
outta there.
987
00:39:38,253 --> 00:39:39,585
Mr. Tater,
988
00:39:39,587 --> 00:39:43,856
Even when you're
as good a distiller
as you guys are,
989
00:39:43,858 --> 00:39:46,092
Sometimes things just happen.
990
00:39:48,196 --> 00:39:49,896
I'mma tell ya,
all the way across the board,
991
00:39:49,931 --> 00:39:52,598
There ain't a jar
that's in somebody's
hands over there
992
00:39:52,700 --> 00:39:55,668
That I couldn't take somewhere
and make some money off of.
993
00:39:55,670 --> 00:39:58,004
All that being said,
the sad part about it,
994
00:39:58,072 --> 00:40:00,306
Somebody's gotta go home
on this one.
995
00:40:04,179 --> 00:40:06,979
Tater, you're the one
going home, brother.
996
00:40:07,015 --> 00:40:09,849
-You went a little too low
on your proof. Awful sorry.
-Thank y'all.
997
00:40:11,085 --> 00:40:12,351
I'm out, son.
998
00:40:13,655 --> 00:40:15,755
-I'm out.
-Thank you
for everything, brother.
999
00:40:15,757 --> 00:40:18,357
I'm really, really sad
to see tater going home.
1000
00:40:18,359 --> 00:40:20,159
[tater] it breaks my heart
to go home.
1001
00:40:20,161 --> 00:40:23,129
I love everybody to death
that's in this.
1002
00:40:23,131 --> 00:40:26,265
But, you know,
at the end of the day
we're in competition.
1003
00:40:26,267 --> 00:40:29,168
And, if I'm invited back
I'll be back.
1004
00:40:29,170 --> 00:40:31,103
And they better watch out.
1005
00:40:31,172 --> 00:40:32,872
[daniel] tater's damn good
at what he does.
1006
00:40:32,874 --> 00:40:35,641
Watching him walk out
I know that this is
getting real.
1007
00:40:35,643 --> 00:40:36,843
It's just me and richard.
1008
00:40:36,845 --> 00:40:39,679
Y'all gonna be up against
a stiff competition then.
1009
00:40:39,714 --> 00:40:42,148
Richard landry
is a harsh competitor.
1010
00:40:42,150 --> 00:40:44,283
[richard] I'm really ecstati
that I made it
to the next round.
1011
00:40:44,385 --> 00:40:45,450
But, I'm a little nervous.
1012
00:40:45,452 --> 00:40:48,488
Daniel's capable of some
extraordinary things.
1013
00:40:48,556 --> 00:40:51,891
Whoever walks away
from this next challenge
victorious,
1014
00:40:51,993 --> 00:40:57,396
Gets the pick either me,
mark ramsey, or tim smith
as your opponent.
1015
00:40:57,465 --> 00:41:00,967
Get you big kid britches on,
'cause we're gonna live
in your head.
1016
00:41:00,969 --> 00:41:04,670
Now, you bring these guys
into the equation
and this is different.
1017
00:41:04,672 --> 00:41:07,673
Going up against these judges,
I ain't wrap my head
around that yet.
1018
00:41:07,675 --> 00:41:08,808
No pressure.
1019
00:41:08,876 --> 00:41:10,476
[all laughing]
1020
00:41:10,545 --> 00:41:13,579
To beat one of the judges
and win this tournament
of champions
1021
00:41:13,648 --> 00:41:15,047
It'll be a big game changer
1022
00:41:15,049 --> 00:41:17,683
Because it would
say something, with volume,
1023
00:41:17,752 --> 00:41:19,785
About my ability
to make liquor.
1024
00:41:19,887 --> 00:41:21,087
It'd mean the world to me.
1025
00:41:21,089 --> 00:41:22,989
We'll see y'all
bright and early
at daylight.
1026
00:41:23,090 --> 00:41:24,156
[tim] get y'all some sleep.
1027
00:41:24,158 --> 00:41:26,158
Y'all better get
your big kid britches on too.
1028
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,394
I'm cinching my belt up.
1029
00:41:28,463 --> 00:41:30,062
'cause these guy's
have got some talent.
