1
00:00:00,978 --> 00:00:02,711
[narrator] this time on
master distiller...
2
00:00:02,713 --> 00:00:03,845
Hoo!
3
00:00:04,114 --> 00:00:06,748
[narrator] a no-holds barred
outlawed grudge match.
4
00:00:06,750 --> 00:00:08,216
Don't quit on us now, josh.
5
00:00:08,218 --> 00:00:09,384
[narrator] backwoods battle.
6
00:00:09,386 --> 00:00:11,520
They're trying to beat me
and I'm going to
try to beat them.
7
00:00:11,522 --> 00:00:12,687
[laughs]
8
00:00:12,723 --> 00:00:14,523
[narrator] defending champ,
josh owens.
9
00:00:14,525 --> 00:00:16,658
[exclaims] you can use that
for paint stripper.
10
00:00:16,660 --> 00:00:18,860
[narrator] returning
challenger, mark rogers.
11
00:00:18,862 --> 00:00:20,996
He must be, from what
I noticed, he would.
12
00:00:20,998 --> 00:00:23,932
[narrator] throwdown with
new opponent, mike cockrell.
13
00:00:23,934 --> 00:00:25,901
I got damn good competition
over here.
14
00:00:25,903 --> 00:00:30,338
[narrator] and only one
notorious shiner can
reign supreme.
15
00:00:30,908 --> 00:00:33,275
Which one of you guys
is number one?
16
00:00:33,277 --> 00:00:35,377
How in the hell he run
20 jars of liquor.
17
00:00:35,379 --> 00:00:37,045
[clinks]
18
00:00:37,047 --> 00:00:38,847
quit eating your gravy
you ain't going to have enough
to put your liquor
19
00:00:38,849 --> 00:00:40,115
that's as good as I can make.
20
00:00:41,118 --> 00:00:41,750
-[laughs]
-[bleep]
21
00:00:41,752 --> 00:00:45,087
[laughs]
22
00:00:45,089 --> 00:00:48,523
[narrator] across the country,
a handful of
expert distillers
23
00:00:48,525 --> 00:00:51,359
are heirs to
a centuries old tradition.
24
00:00:53,263 --> 00:00:55,497
Some operate on
the legal side.
25
00:00:55,499 --> 00:01:00,235
Others practice their craft
beyond the reach of the law.
26
00:01:00,237 --> 00:01:03,772
Now, three of the best will
throw down at the stills.
27
00:01:03,774 --> 00:01:05,874
[exclaims]
28
00:01:05,876 --> 00:01:09,144
[narrator] judged by a jury
of their peers.
29
00:01:09,146 --> 00:01:12,547
They'll go head to head
in a series of challenges.
30
00:01:12,549 --> 00:01:13,915
[exclaims in pain]
31
00:01:13,917 --> 00:01:15,617
I don't want none
of that thing
you're licking there.
32
00:01:15,619 --> 00:01:17,185
Better stitch that quick.
33
00:01:17,187 --> 00:01:19,488
[narrator] to determine
who has what it takes.
34
00:01:19,490 --> 00:01:20,021
Josh.
35
00:01:20,023 --> 00:01:21,123
This is some [bleep].
36
00:01:21,125 --> 00:01:23,125
[narrator] towards backwoods
bragging rights
37
00:01:23,127 --> 00:01:26,695
and a backwoods trophy
any distiller would love.
38
00:01:26,697 --> 00:01:28,597
[ramsey] miniature
functioning still.
39
00:01:28,599 --> 00:01:30,432
That'll look awful good
on the farm.
40
00:01:42,412 --> 00:01:45,914
Welcome to back wood battle
number dos.
41
00:01:45,916 --> 00:01:48,884
-[digger] josh, markie.
You boys ready?
-Yup.
42
00:01:48,886 --> 00:01:50,218
It's time to make some liquor.
43
00:01:50,220 --> 00:01:52,587
This time we got mike cockrell
in the mix.
44
00:01:52,589 --> 00:01:55,490
It's going to be good.
Josh, last time,
45
00:01:55,492 --> 00:01:59,094
you cleaned everybody's plow
and won one of our
prize possessions.
46
00:01:59,096 --> 00:02:00,529
A jar of popcorn's liquor.
47
00:02:00,531 --> 00:02:03,098
Somebody's going to
take this home.
48
00:02:03,100 --> 00:02:06,101
And it'll be you josh.
You knocked her out
of the park, son.
49
00:02:06,103 --> 00:02:08,904
Hell, yeah. Drink up!
50
00:02:08,906 --> 00:02:11,306
[josh] last time I smoked
the competition.
51
00:02:11,441 --> 00:02:12,574
This year,
52
00:02:12,609 --> 00:02:15,177
I can lose
with the best of 'em
but I don't like it,
53
00:02:15,179 --> 00:02:19,047
and I'm going to do whatever
it takes to win
this competition again.
54
00:02:19,049 --> 00:02:21,850
[ramsey] in this
competition, we will determine
55
00:02:21,852 --> 00:02:24,085
which one of you guys
is number one.
56
00:02:24,121 --> 00:02:25,954
The prize for the winner,
57
00:02:25,956 --> 00:02:28,623
a little miniature
still sitting over here.
58
00:02:28,625 --> 00:02:31,026
It is a functioning still.
59
00:02:31,028 --> 00:02:32,627
[mike] that little,
small still,
60
00:02:32,629 --> 00:02:35,163
it's exactly like
the stanley cup
of moonshining.
61
00:02:35,165 --> 00:02:37,599
I would love to see that thing
on my mantle.
62
00:02:37,601 --> 00:02:38,867
[ramsey] the winner of
this competition,
63
00:02:38,869 --> 00:02:41,469
will bring that little still
home with them.
64
00:02:41,471 --> 00:02:43,872
And I want to wish
all of you good luck
65
00:02:43,874 --> 00:02:46,641
and we're looking forward
to tasting what you bring us.
66
00:02:46,643 --> 00:02:48,109
You know the key element here
67
00:02:48,111 --> 00:02:51,112
to being a great backwoods
successful shiner,
68
00:02:51,114 --> 00:02:53,882
is making high proof smooth
corn liquor.
69
00:02:53,884 --> 00:02:56,484
Alright, guys,
your first chore.
70
00:02:56,486 --> 00:02:59,154
Run us some top shelf,
old fashioned corn liquor,
71
00:02:59,156 --> 00:03:01,590
like we've never tasted
in our lives.
72
00:03:01,592 --> 00:03:02,857
Then for your next challenge,
73
00:03:02,859 --> 00:03:06,027
you're going to use that
as a base for
your flavored liquor.
74
00:03:06,029 --> 00:03:09,097
[tim] you guys got
your mash ready.
You made it. You brought it.
75
00:03:09,099 --> 00:03:09,731
Should be ready to run.
76
00:03:09,733 --> 00:03:11,800
Best jar on the table
77
00:03:11,802 --> 00:03:13,935
is going to get first pick at
the fruit stand
for your flavor run.
78
00:03:13,937 --> 00:03:15,870
-You boys ready?
-Yup.
79
00:03:15,872 --> 00:03:18,173
-Ready.
-You got four hours
to run your liquor.
80
00:03:18,175 --> 00:03:19,207
Starting...
81
00:03:19,243 --> 00:03:20,342
Now.
82
00:03:21,011 --> 00:03:22,177
Good luck, boys.
83
00:03:26,049 --> 00:03:27,282
Ah, yeah.
84
00:03:34,958 --> 00:03:36,958
Here we go.
85
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,960
-Been nice knowing you, josh.
-[laughs]
86
00:03:38,962 --> 00:03:41,029
[mumbling]
87
00:03:41,765 --> 00:03:44,499
-[laughs]
-boom!
88
00:03:44,501 --> 00:03:46,468
[digger] josh. You the man
to beat now.
89
00:03:46,470 --> 00:03:47,369
You the reigning champion.
90
00:03:47,371 --> 00:03:49,638
[josh] I'm just a man
and a man to beat.
91
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:54,509
[digger] I didn't say youse
the man, I just said you're
the reigning champion here.
92
00:03:54,511 --> 00:03:57,345
[josh] my name is josh owens.
I'm from columbus,
north carolina.
93
00:03:57,347 --> 00:03:58,780
Ho, oh, oh!
94
00:03:58,782 --> 00:04:01,483
I'm wide open all the time,
'cause I've got a long way
to go.
95
00:04:01,485 --> 00:04:02,851
And a short time to get there.
96
00:04:02,853 --> 00:04:05,787
I'm going to go ahead
and mash these doggone
cherries up.
97
00:04:05,789 --> 00:04:07,489
[josh] moonshine runs deep
in my veins.
98
00:04:07,491 --> 00:04:08,857
Mm-mm. That smells good.
99
00:04:08,859 --> 00:04:11,059
[josh] I have a family history
of moonshine.
100
00:04:11,061 --> 00:04:14,929
When I was 15 years old,
I was fascinated by moonshine.
101
00:04:14,931 --> 00:04:16,631
And I've been messing
with it ever since.
102
00:04:16,633 --> 00:04:18,900
[ramsey] my man, josh.
103
00:04:18,902 --> 00:04:22,170
You just running your regular
sample recipe mash?
104
00:04:22,172 --> 00:04:24,005
Just plain jane,
getting it done.
105
00:04:24,007 --> 00:04:27,976
I made my mash out of
white corn, little bit of
yellow corn,
106
00:04:27,978 --> 00:04:29,944
some yeast and some sugar
and some water.
107
00:04:29,946 --> 00:04:31,746
I notice you always stir
108
00:04:31,748 --> 00:04:34,816
your mash a little bit
in the pot while
it's heating up.
109
00:04:34,818 --> 00:04:37,819
Your mash is sitting still,
it'll stick to the bottom
of your pot
110
00:04:37,821 --> 00:04:38,853
and start scorching
down there.
111
00:04:38,855 --> 00:04:40,822
And give your liquor
a horrible, scorched flavor.
112
00:04:40,824 --> 00:04:43,725
And if you keep it moving,
that's definitely
not going to happen.
113
00:04:43,727 --> 00:04:45,860
Pressure's on you
a little more than
these other two,
114
00:04:45,862 --> 00:04:47,195
you being
the reigning champion.
115
00:04:47,197 --> 00:04:48,263
There ain't no pressure.
116
00:04:48,265 --> 00:04:50,265
I like that attitude.
117
00:04:50,267 --> 00:04:54,069
[josh] I already won the last
backwoods battle. I'm here
to try to do it again.
118
00:04:54,071 --> 00:04:55,904
Mark rogers.
119
00:04:55,906 --> 00:04:59,040
Who do you think is
the heads-up favorite here?
Feel good about it?
120
00:04:59,042 --> 00:05:01,810
Well. They're both my buddy.
121
00:05:01,812 --> 00:05:03,478
But they're trying to beat me
and I'm going to try
to beat them.
122
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,780
-[laughs]
-you know.
123
00:05:05,782 --> 00:05:09,084
[mark] I'm mark rogers.
I come straight out
of the mountain.
124
00:05:09,086 --> 00:05:10,452
Been making liquor
all my life.
125
00:05:15,192 --> 00:05:15,957
[coughs]
126
00:05:28,271 --> 00:05:30,038
-that's fire.
-Fire in the hole.
127
00:05:30,874 --> 00:05:32,440
[laughs]
128
00:05:35,912 --> 00:05:38,580
I've run in the mountains,
you know, on wood.
129
00:05:38,582 --> 00:05:43,017
I ain't never fooled with gas
much based on the little
turkey cookers.
130
00:05:44,955 --> 00:05:47,355
[man] you got a flame over
like a campfire.
131
00:05:50,794 --> 00:05:52,293
Oh! You scorched
the piss out of that.
132
00:05:52,295 --> 00:05:54,028
That tripped me up last time.
133
00:05:54,030 --> 00:05:56,064
Believe I've got it
figured out now.
134
00:05:56,066 --> 00:05:56,998
So I'm working
a little harder.
135
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,501
I'm ready. And I'm ready
for the competition.
136
00:05:59,503 --> 00:06:02,504
It's a little easier on you
if you fight with your flavor
than it is with your fists.
137
00:06:02,539 --> 00:06:04,205
Mark rogers.
138
00:06:04,841 --> 00:06:09,144
I don't even have to ask you
I know you brought just
corn mash. That's what you do.
139
00:06:09,146 --> 00:06:10,745
-Corn simple mash.
-Yep.
140
00:06:10,747 --> 00:06:13,314
My corn mash, it's really
the recipe
141
00:06:13,316 --> 00:06:16,017
of an old moonshiners
running in the mountain.
142
00:06:16,019 --> 00:06:17,318
Just corn, really.
143
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,120
Sprouting corn, dry it.
144
00:06:19,122 --> 00:06:20,088
Grind it.
145
00:06:20,090 --> 00:06:21,389
I make my own yeast.
146
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,059
Mikey...
147
00:06:25,061 --> 00:06:26,795
What do you got going on here.
148
00:06:26,797 --> 00:06:29,597
-Just trying to get heated up,
cleaning up this charcoal.
-Okay.
149
00:06:29,599 --> 00:06:30,932
To run my liquor out first.
150
00:06:30,934 --> 00:06:33,468
We'll run it low and slow,
you know. Just
let it carry on.
151
00:06:33,470 --> 00:06:37,338
-I'm sure it'll be good, so...
-I hope so.
152
00:06:37,340 --> 00:06:40,041
My name is mike cockrell.
I was born and raised
in the state of mississippi,
153
00:06:40,043 --> 00:06:41,443
but I hang my hat
in tennessee.
154
00:06:41,478 --> 00:06:42,744
Fire in the hole.
155
00:06:42,779 --> 00:06:45,980
[mike] I come from a long line
of moonshiners
from mississippi.
156
00:06:45,982 --> 00:06:50,018
People like us moonshiners,
they don't have much
of nothing in the backwoods
157
00:06:50,020 --> 00:06:51,553
to make alcohol.
158
00:06:51,555 --> 00:06:52,921
It's the only way of living.
159
00:06:52,923 --> 00:06:55,690
I like doing little of the old
and little of the new.
160
00:06:55,692 --> 00:06:58,827
All six of these jars
serves as distillation.
161
00:06:58,829 --> 00:07:00,962
There were a lot of people
who use yellow corn.
162
00:07:00,964 --> 00:07:04,499
For corn mash, I do like to
use the white, sweet corn.
163
00:07:04,501 --> 00:07:06,234
Got a better sugar content.
164
00:07:06,236 --> 00:07:07,602
I'm real confident
165
00:07:07,604 --> 00:07:08,703
in my corn liquor,
166
00:07:08,705 --> 00:07:10,839
because it's something I've
always made and done,
167
00:07:10,841 --> 00:07:12,674
in the backwoods
on a daily basis.
168
00:07:12,676 --> 00:07:14,209
And that's what
I'm doing here today.
169
00:07:14,211 --> 00:07:16,478
What do you think about
your competition over here?
170
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,947
I've got damn good competition
over here.
171
00:07:18,949 --> 00:07:21,483
[mike] josh is a great guy.
He's a little bit
scattered brain.
172
00:07:21,485 --> 00:07:23,585
He don't have no idea
what he's gonna do
173
00:07:23,587 --> 00:07:24,686
at the time
that he's doing it.
174
00:07:24,688 --> 00:07:26,855
But he always pulls
something out of the hat.
175
00:07:26,857 --> 00:07:30,058
You know mark rogers.
He goes to bed with
a doggone bowie knife.
176
00:07:30,060 --> 00:07:32,694
He ain't a fellow you want
to mess with too much.
177
00:07:32,696 --> 00:07:35,997
Here I am coming in
as the underdog, you know,
trying to win this thing.
178
00:07:35,999 --> 00:07:38,233
Folks, y'all got
three hours left.
179
00:07:38,235 --> 00:07:40,568
Mark he's over here
stitching or somethin'.
180
00:07:40,570 --> 00:07:44,539
He's making him a little
drip strainer
to go on that worm spout.
181
00:07:44,541 --> 00:07:46,975
Mark, he's getting his still
ready for it to come out.
182
00:07:46,977 --> 00:07:49,310
Don't take no time for those
little fellers there.
183
00:07:49,312 --> 00:07:53,248
Yeah, they're all about
the same. We're all within
ten degrees of each other.
184
00:07:57,153 --> 00:07:58,419
Here we go, boy.
185
00:07:59,256 --> 00:08:00,388
Running liquor.
186
00:08:01,124 --> 00:08:04,025
It all went pretty fast.
187
00:08:04,027 --> 00:08:05,126
Oh [bleep]
188
00:08:05,128 --> 00:08:06,828
josh, you running yet?
189
00:08:06,830 --> 00:08:07,729
[josh] yeah, just started.
190
00:08:07,731 --> 00:08:10,131
I like to warm
mine up gracefully.
191
00:08:10,133 --> 00:08:12,700
[mike] I've been known to have
a cocky attitude because
192
00:08:12,702 --> 00:08:14,936
my corn mash is
really, really good.
193
00:08:14,938 --> 00:08:15,904
The recipe that I was taught,
194
00:08:15,906 --> 00:08:17,572
it's got a better flavor.
195
00:08:17,574 --> 00:08:20,475
So I have confidence
that I'm going out of here
a winner, guys.
196
00:08:20,477 --> 00:08:23,912
I think I'm the only one
running over charcoal
over here too.
197
00:08:23,914 --> 00:08:26,948
-[clunk]
-damn! You scare me every time
you throw something
198
00:08:26,950 --> 00:08:28,783
or shut that damn lever.
[laughs]
199
00:08:28,785 --> 00:08:30,351
mike cockrell's awesome.
200
00:08:30,353 --> 00:08:32,520
But sometimes he gets
a little cocky.
201
00:08:32,522 --> 00:08:33,254
[bang]
202
00:08:33,256 --> 00:08:35,156
-[laughs]
-[bleeps]
203
00:08:35,158 --> 00:08:36,624
[mark laughs]
204
00:08:36,626 --> 00:08:37,792
damn you, josh.
205
00:08:37,794 --> 00:08:40,228
[josh] some people call me
a agent of chaos,
206
00:08:40,230 --> 00:08:42,196
but I'm the master
of disaster.
207
00:08:42,198 --> 00:08:43,298
This is [bleep] killing.
208
00:08:44,234 --> 00:08:44,999
Two hours left...
209
00:08:45,001 --> 00:08:46,067
In your run.
210
00:08:46,069 --> 00:08:47,769
[mark] getting into
the hard part.
211
00:08:47,771 --> 00:08:48,803
I'm getting proof right on it.
212
00:08:48,805 --> 00:08:50,071
It ought to be good.
213
00:08:50,073 --> 00:08:51,806
[josh] I'm going to throw
my heads off.
214
00:08:51,808 --> 00:08:54,042
And this is my first jar
I'm catching.
215
00:08:55,912 --> 00:08:57,312
Come on, baby.
Run a little bit.
216
00:09:01,284 --> 00:09:03,017
Here we go!
217
00:09:04,521 --> 00:09:06,020
It had me worried.
218
00:09:07,757 --> 00:09:08,823
All right mark.
219
00:09:08,892 --> 00:09:10,858
-That's a pretty good stream
right there.
-Yeah.
220
00:09:10,860 --> 00:09:12,994
How many jars?
You got a lot of 'em
over there.
221
00:09:12,996 --> 00:09:14,495
One, two, three, four, five.
222
00:09:14,497 --> 00:09:15,597
[mark] this will be the sixth.
223
00:09:15,599 --> 00:09:18,499
You way ahead
of everybody else.
224
00:09:18,501 --> 00:09:21,669
There's jars of liquor
over everywhere. How do
you do that?
225
00:09:21,671 --> 00:09:24,806
Last time we had
a competition, old mark rogers
226
00:09:24,808 --> 00:09:27,208
got into the moonshine.
The next thing I know,
227
00:09:27,210 --> 00:09:29,010
he's all tore up.
228
00:09:29,012 --> 00:09:29,978
[bang]
229
00:09:29,980 --> 00:09:31,012
[clattering]
230
00:09:31,014 --> 00:09:32,480
when I get in the kitchen,
231
00:09:32,482 --> 00:09:33,948
I make a lot of racket,
it's all I do.
232
00:09:33,950 --> 00:09:35,717
I love a good fire.
233
00:09:35,719 --> 00:09:38,620
I don't care
what I have to do.
I love to cook with fire.
234
00:09:38,622 --> 00:09:40,922
[josh] this time,
if he's staying sober,
235
00:09:40,924 --> 00:09:42,590
I'm going to have my work
cut out for me.
236
00:09:42,592 --> 00:09:43,491
Josh owens.
237
00:09:43,493 --> 00:09:45,126
You just got a little filter
on the felt.
238
00:09:45,128 --> 00:09:46,127
You don't have no wood chips,
239
00:09:46,129 --> 00:09:47,762
-no nothing in it. Charcoal.
-No.
240
00:09:47,764 --> 00:09:49,931
[josh] I don't never run
over charcoal.
241
00:09:49,933 --> 00:09:52,967
What you think about
mike over here.
You ain't scared, are you?
242
00:09:52,969 --> 00:09:54,135
Are you trying to
put pressure on me?
243
00:09:54,137 --> 00:09:54,969
Yeah.
244
00:09:54,971 --> 00:09:56,504
Don't be over here relaxing.
245
00:09:56,506 --> 00:09:58,039
-Now there is some pressure.
-Yeah?
246
00:09:58,041 --> 00:09:59,774
What's going on, mike?
247
00:09:59,776 --> 00:10:02,143
Well, I'm trying to
got this liquor run off
for you guys.
248
00:10:02,145 --> 00:10:03,177
Now you're on your third jar.
249
00:10:03,179 --> 00:10:06,114
I'm running it as low
as I can, as slow as I can.
250
00:10:06,116 --> 00:10:07,081
Tell me about
the charcoal thing.
251
00:10:07,083 --> 00:10:10,785
It just helps strain any
impurities or particles.
252
00:10:10,787 --> 00:10:14,288
Just a few extra steps to
try to make my liquor
as good as I can, you know.
253
00:10:14,290 --> 00:10:16,090
-Yeah.
-[josh] mike cockrell.
254
00:10:16,092 --> 00:10:19,093
He may be cocky.
But one thing's for damn sure.
255
00:10:19,095 --> 00:10:20,228
He can make some liquor.
256
00:10:20,230 --> 00:10:21,663
One hour left, guys.
257
00:10:21,665 --> 00:10:23,264
Better be buttoning it up.
258
00:10:25,702 --> 00:10:26,768
-[mike] tell me
something, josh.
-What buddy?
259
00:10:26,770 --> 00:10:28,903
What's up with you using
charcoal now?
260
00:10:28,905 --> 00:10:31,639
You said you didn't use it
last time, so what's the deal
with that.
261
00:10:31,641 --> 00:10:34,509
I saw you using it over there
and I thought I'd run off
262
00:10:34,511 --> 00:10:37,011
a jar with it just to see
what it was like.
263
00:10:37,013 --> 00:10:38,413
'cause I ain't never used it.
264
00:10:39,082 --> 00:10:39,981
Here's josh owens,
265
00:10:39,983 --> 00:10:41,849
doing his liquor like mine.
266
00:10:41,851 --> 00:10:43,985
But if he wins this round with
the corn liquor,
267
00:10:43,987 --> 00:10:46,154
friendship ends
and business begins.
268
00:10:46,156 --> 00:10:48,956
We both got to do
what we got to do to win.
269
00:10:48,958 --> 00:10:52,193
[josh laughs]
270
00:10:54,330 --> 00:10:56,798
45 minutes, folks.
271
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,834
That's how high proof
it is right there.
You can even see it burning.
272
00:10:59,836 --> 00:11:02,203
Something's going hot, boy.
273
00:11:02,205 --> 00:11:05,306
Josh, he's got one filter
in there with charcoal.
274
00:11:05,308 --> 00:11:06,007
[whistles]
275
00:11:06,042 --> 00:11:07,508
[clicks]
276
00:11:07,510 --> 00:11:10,978
mike over here has got
a charcoal with filter.
277
00:11:10,980 --> 00:11:12,213
He's running real slow.
278
00:11:12,215 --> 00:11:13,548
Charcoal's doing good.
279
00:11:13,550 --> 00:11:14,582
God almighty.
280
00:11:15,885 --> 00:11:17,985
[exclaims] you can use that
for paint stripping.
281
00:11:17,987 --> 00:11:20,722
Mark, he's running
pretty fast.
282
00:11:20,724 --> 00:11:22,657
And he's just running his
down on cotton string.
283
00:11:22,659 --> 00:11:25,893
-How in the hell he gonna run
20 jars of liquor.
-20?
284
00:11:25,895 --> 00:11:28,896
Mark's proof looks like
it's coming down there
a little bit.
285
00:11:28,898 --> 00:11:30,498
Think mark's
in his backings already.
286
00:11:30,500 --> 00:11:31,866
What you reckon that proof is?
287
00:11:31,868 --> 00:11:33,067
It's pretty high.
288
00:11:33,069 --> 00:11:35,203
-130, 140.
-I think a little more
than that.
289
00:11:35,205 --> 00:11:36,204
Came out good and stout.
290
00:11:36,206 --> 00:11:37,972
I think around 160 proof.
291
00:11:37,974 --> 00:11:40,041
I was really tickled with it.
292
00:11:46,983 --> 00:11:50,051
I'm getting proof right on it.
It ought to be good.
293
00:11:50,053 --> 00:11:52,420
That's my jar. About 110.
294
00:11:52,422 --> 00:11:54,122
Demo jar number nine.
295
00:11:54,124 --> 00:11:56,891
I bet that taste good, mike.
If it's slow proof, ain't it.
296
00:11:56,893 --> 00:11:58,359
I'm going to fix her up.
297
00:12:00,029 --> 00:12:02,497
All right. Markie turnin'
his in.
298
00:12:02,499 --> 00:12:03,865
That the winning jar, markie?
299
00:12:03,867 --> 00:12:06,200
I don't know 'bout that.
It's going to be
a jar of liquor.
300
00:12:06,202 --> 00:12:08,102
We'll let you know.
We need you boys back.
301
00:12:08,104 --> 00:12:09,203
All right.
302
00:12:09,205 --> 00:12:10,171
All right, boys.
303
00:12:10,173 --> 00:12:11,105
Five minutes.
304
00:12:11,107 --> 00:12:12,206
[mike] five minutes.
305
00:12:12,809 --> 00:12:14,142
I may do a blend.
306
00:12:20,717 --> 00:12:22,049
That's my jar right there.
307
00:12:22,051 --> 00:12:25,186
100 percent confident
in my jar of liquor.
308
00:12:25,188 --> 00:12:26,921
This run was perfect.
309
00:12:26,923 --> 00:12:27,922
Bringing it in.
310
00:12:27,924 --> 00:12:29,157
Number nine and four.
311
00:12:29,192 --> 00:12:30,124
Together.
312
00:12:30,126 --> 00:12:31,592
-Nine and four.
-Here we go.
313
00:12:31,594 --> 00:12:32,260
-All right.
-Thank you all.
314
00:12:32,262 --> 00:12:34,095
-Good luck, mikey.
-Yes sir.
315
00:12:35,999 --> 00:12:38,299
Josh, three minutes left.
316
00:12:44,307 --> 00:12:46,140
-[josh] damn, I can't decide.
-[mark ramsey laughs]
317
00:12:46,142 --> 00:12:47,375
oh, no.
318
00:12:47,377 --> 00:12:49,210
It could be bad,
it could be good.
319
00:12:49,212 --> 00:12:51,045
My mouth burns so hard,
I can't tell.
320
00:12:51,047 --> 00:12:52,013
[laughs]
321
00:12:52,015 --> 00:12:53,514
he keeps trying himself
which jar he wants,
322
00:12:53,516 --> 00:12:55,917
he ain't going to be able to
walk it over here
to the table.
323
00:12:55,919 --> 00:12:59,187
[josh] I really can't tell
no difference using
that charcoal.
324
00:12:59,189 --> 00:13:00,521
What the hell's
the point in that.
325
00:13:00,523 --> 00:13:01,489
One minute.
326
00:13:01,491 --> 00:13:03,524
If you ain't ready,
you ain't going to be.
327
00:13:03,526 --> 00:13:06,093
There ain't no worry
about losing
track of his.
328
00:13:06,095 --> 00:13:08,529
His the one's got
a cartoon strip on it.
329
00:13:08,531 --> 00:13:09,931
That will suit you, boss?
330
00:13:09,933 --> 00:13:11,499
Hell, man, yeah, I reckon.
331
00:13:11,501 --> 00:13:13,201
Ah, good luck slim shady.
332
00:13:13,203 --> 00:13:16,237
Chase them other
fellers. Will be to
get you in a minute.
333
00:13:17,507 --> 00:13:18,873
[tim] let's try mark.
334
00:13:18,875 --> 00:13:20,141
Good, nice clean jar.
335
00:13:20,143 --> 00:13:21,008
And there's no filter.
336
00:13:21,010 --> 00:13:22,977
-Pretty good bead.
-Yup.
337
00:13:22,979 --> 00:13:24,645
-Goes away pretty fast.
-[laughs]
338
00:13:24,647 --> 00:13:26,480
120 proof.
339
00:13:26,482 --> 00:13:29,016
Do you feel confident
about the jar you turned in?
340
00:13:29,018 --> 00:13:29,851
I...
341
00:13:29,853 --> 00:13:31,118
Feel pretty good, yeah.
342
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,054
It's pretty high on the nose.
343
00:13:33,056 --> 00:13:34,989
Yeah. It's got some vapors.
344
00:13:38,528 --> 00:13:40,394
-It's nice though.
-Yeah.
345
00:13:40,396 --> 00:13:41,796
Good, sweet finish.
346
00:13:41,798 --> 00:13:43,431
There's plenty of alcohol
in it.
347
00:13:43,833 --> 00:13:45,433
I think mark did a good job.
348
00:13:45,435 --> 00:13:48,135
Think he ran it pretty fast
so it's got a little bite
on it.
349
00:13:48,137 --> 00:13:50,872
-That little fire lingers on
the back of your throat.
-Yeah.
350
00:13:50,874 --> 00:13:53,207
It's still there on me.
351
00:13:54,110 --> 00:13:58,179
The last time he's doing this,
he was drunker
than cooter brown.
352
00:13:59,382 --> 00:14:01,115
[josh] this time
you're on your game.
353
00:14:01,117 --> 00:14:05,219
Youse on number two or
three before I started even
coming up with liquor.
354
00:14:05,221 --> 00:14:06,487
Now we got wild man here.
355
00:14:06,656 --> 00:14:08,956
Cartoon drawer.
356
00:14:08,958 --> 00:14:12,526
-He couldn't spell distiller,
so he just spelt dist.
-Yeah.
357
00:14:12,528 --> 00:14:15,496
-Got to work on his spelling.
-Another one high proof.
358
00:14:15,498 --> 00:14:16,964
Oh yes, he's popping.
359
00:14:16,966 --> 00:14:18,599
That is nowhere close
to 100 proof.
360
00:14:18,601 --> 00:14:22,703
[digger] he changed gears
and went and filtered
over that fire coal too.
361
00:14:22,705 --> 00:14:25,673
-[mark and tim] yeah.
-I don't know that that jar
got any of it.
362
00:14:25,675 --> 00:14:27,909
I never tried
that charcoal before.
363
00:14:27,911 --> 00:14:30,678
I always heard it would strip
the flavor profile out of it.
364
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,713
So I tried it on a jar or so.
365
00:14:32,715 --> 00:14:34,916
Now he's got a little bit
smoother on the nose.
366
00:14:34,918 --> 00:14:37,251
It finishes smooth
on the tongue too.
367
00:14:37,253 --> 00:14:39,086
It's a little milder drink
that mark's
368
00:14:39,088 --> 00:14:40,988
but fierce on me.
369
00:14:40,990 --> 00:14:42,990
-Yeah.
-There's definitely
high proof.
370
00:14:42,992 --> 00:14:44,859
But just using
that little bitty handful,
371
00:14:44,861 --> 00:14:47,929
for me, it mellows out
the bite.
372
00:14:47,931 --> 00:14:50,264
Or the hotness of the alcohol
and you keep all your flavor.
373
00:14:50,266 --> 00:14:51,899
Well, move on to old mikey.
374
00:14:51,901 --> 00:14:55,002
It's one of the clearest jars.
And a high proof.
375
00:14:55,004 --> 00:14:58,105
You know I started running
last and it took me
376
00:14:58,107 --> 00:15:00,641
the whole time that we had
to run off my jars.
377
00:15:00,643 --> 00:15:02,743
Now that's really smooth
on the nose.
378
00:15:02,745 --> 00:15:05,112
Yeah. That's light as
a feather out there.
379
00:15:05,114 --> 00:15:08,215
-That's got you that
fruity aroma now.
-Mm-hm.
380
00:15:08,217 --> 00:15:09,817
That's real easy on
the tongue.
381
00:15:09,819 --> 00:15:10,918
It's got a real good finish.
382
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,021
Mikey ran his the slowest
of any of 'em.
383
00:15:14,023 --> 00:15:16,223
He done just a little dab
of blending.
384
00:15:16,225 --> 00:15:17,625
Nine has got the flavor
385
00:15:17,627 --> 00:15:18,926
and four has got the proof.
386
00:15:18,928 --> 00:15:20,528
-That's a good job
of blending them.
-Yeah.
387
00:15:20,530 --> 00:15:21,629
You know how
to make moonshine.
388
00:15:21,631 --> 00:15:24,131
And I know you know how
to make moonshine too, so...
389
00:15:24,133 --> 00:15:27,134
Hell, I'm just glad to
be sitting here with y'all
doing this.
390
00:15:27,136 --> 00:15:28,169
-You know.
-Same here, man.
391
00:15:28,771 --> 00:15:30,071
I'll go fetch 'em.
392
00:15:34,744 --> 00:15:35,843
Good luck, you gentlemen.
393
00:15:35,845 --> 00:15:37,912
-Appreciate it brother.
-You too.
394
00:15:37,914 --> 00:15:39,313
Look guys,
all of 'em taste good.
395
00:15:39,615 --> 00:15:40,548
Mark, yours
396
00:15:40,550 --> 00:15:42,984
outstanding, clear, to be
not filtered.
397
00:15:42,986 --> 00:15:46,654
But it is a little bit hot
and really does taste
high proof.
398
00:15:46,656 --> 00:15:49,590
A little fiery on
the back end,
but it finishes good.
399
00:15:49,592 --> 00:15:51,859
Josh, you got way deep
into your heart.
400
00:15:51,861 --> 00:15:55,896
Good drink, a little fire
on the end that
high proof liquor will have.
401
00:15:55,898 --> 00:15:59,900
-I like mine about 110.
-Yup. It might be
a little higher now.
402
00:15:59,902 --> 00:16:01,902
But we also noticed that
you maybe cheated off
403
00:16:01,904 --> 00:16:04,739
of mike a little bit by
using the charcoal.
404
00:16:04,741 --> 00:16:07,908
Yeah, but, I didn't use
my last couple of jars.
405
00:16:07,910 --> 00:16:09,643
And that's what I used
the charcoal for.
406
00:16:09,645 --> 00:16:12,179
-'cause I just wanted to see
what it was going to do.
-Mm. Okay.
407
00:16:12,181 --> 00:16:14,682
Even though you went through
double filtering
408
00:16:14,684 --> 00:16:16,917
-and charcoal filter--
-I done told you I didn't
double filter.
409
00:16:16,919 --> 00:16:19,120
It's actually smoother
than mark's.
410
00:16:19,122 --> 00:16:21,055
And I think that maybe
that charcoal did it.
411
00:16:21,057 --> 00:16:22,990
I didn't put
the charcoal in it.
412
00:16:22,992 --> 00:16:24,859
I'm trying to tell you
how good it is.
413
00:16:24,861 --> 00:16:26,027
I see how you are.
414
00:16:26,029 --> 00:16:27,261
Okay. Well.
415
00:16:27,797 --> 00:16:28,796
Mikey.
416
00:16:28,798 --> 00:16:30,965
I think you took
full advantage of your time.
417
00:16:30,967 --> 00:16:32,867
'cause you ran yours really,
really slow.
418
00:16:32,869 --> 00:16:35,669
-And yours is outstanding.
-Thank you.
419
00:16:35,671 --> 00:16:39,740
Mike, you blended
jar number four and
jar number nine.
420
00:16:39,742 --> 00:16:42,810
-I think that's a good job
of blending it.
-Appreciate it.
421
00:16:42,812 --> 00:16:46,147
All right guys. Any good
liquor man worth its salt,
422
00:16:46,149 --> 00:16:49,050
flavors his is corn liquor
with whatever
he's got on hand.
423
00:16:49,052 --> 00:16:50,651
So your next challenge,
424
00:16:50,653 --> 00:16:53,754
you're going to build
the fruit stand to flavor
your base liquor.
425
00:16:53,756 --> 00:16:55,556
And I think all of you
got something to work with.
426
00:16:55,558 --> 00:16:57,091
To flavor it with something.
427
00:16:57,093 --> 00:16:59,226
And this is just the first,
second and third place.
428
00:16:59,228 --> 00:17:01,695
Who's going to go to
the fruit stand.
429
00:17:01,697 --> 00:17:03,931
Mikey, you the man. First.
430
00:17:03,933 --> 00:17:05,966
-Number one job.
-Appreciate it. Thank y'all.
431
00:17:05,968 --> 00:17:07,134
Josh. Number two man.
432
00:17:07,136 --> 00:17:08,869
Mark. Number three.
433
00:17:08,871 --> 00:17:10,905
All right boys.
To the fruit stand.
434
00:17:10,907 --> 00:17:12,039
Tim, you ring the bell.
435
00:17:12,041 --> 00:17:13,140
Tickle!
436
00:17:13,943 --> 00:17:14,575
Hey y'all.
437
00:17:14,577 --> 00:17:14,842
All right.
438
00:17:14,844 --> 00:17:16,844
Fellers.
439
00:17:16,846 --> 00:17:19,713
These guys need some cucumbers
and squash and cantaloupes
and watermelons
440
00:17:19,715 --> 00:17:22,083
and anything else you can find
to flavor this stuff up.
441
00:17:22,085 --> 00:17:24,718
Well, I'll see
what I can find.
Y'all ready fellas?
442
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,054
-Ready.
-Come on, let's roll on.
443
00:17:27,857 --> 00:17:30,024
If you milk a cow,
you just get milk.
444
00:17:30,026 --> 00:17:31,192
But if you milk a bull,
445
00:17:31,194 --> 00:17:34,095
-you got a friend for life
right now.
-No doubt.
446
00:17:34,097 --> 00:17:34,862
All right, fellers.
447
00:17:34,864 --> 00:17:36,931
We're here so y'all can
448
00:17:36,933 --> 00:17:39,767
infuse your liquor with
something in your thumper.
449
00:17:39,769 --> 00:17:40,901
And get something,
450
00:17:40,903 --> 00:17:42,903
to flavor it, after
the fact with.
451
00:17:42,905 --> 00:17:46,040
Y'all going to have
three minutes.
452
00:17:46,042 --> 00:17:48,275
And mike, I believe
you're up first.
Let's keep to it.
453
00:17:48,811 --> 00:17:49,944
Okay.
454
00:17:49,946 --> 00:17:51,779
I see a lot of
these strawberries.
455
00:17:51,781 --> 00:17:53,681
You know the liquor
that I enjoy making,
456
00:17:53,683 --> 00:17:56,617
I like to do tropical fruit,
some citrus.
457
00:17:56,619 --> 00:17:59,720
[tickle] okay. Are you making
a pie or a drink. [laughs]
458
00:17:59,722 --> 00:18:02,156
we'll figure it out when
we get there, right.
459
00:18:02,158 --> 00:18:04,992
[mike] I'm going to make
a strawberry-cherry limeade.
460
00:18:04,994 --> 00:18:06,861
So I chose fresh strawberries,
461
00:18:06,863 --> 00:18:07,495
a little bit of cherry,
462
00:18:07,497 --> 00:18:09,797
and some lime juice.
463
00:18:09,799 --> 00:18:12,833
-I got to have one more bag.
-All right. One more bag
of strawberries. There you go.
464
00:18:12,835 --> 00:18:15,069
Your time is up. Josh.
465
00:18:15,071 --> 00:18:15,970
You're up, boss man.
466
00:18:15,972 --> 00:18:17,905
There you go. Get your basket.
467
00:18:17,907 --> 00:18:21,108
Look, if anybody can make
a tomato drink, it's you josh.
468
00:18:21,110 --> 00:18:24,745
If any kind of fruit around,
I've made whiskey
out of all of it.
469
00:18:24,747 --> 00:18:27,148
And sometimes
it turns out great,
470
00:18:27,150 --> 00:18:28,849
-sometimes it don't.
-[tickle] all right.
471
00:18:28,851 --> 00:18:31,619
Looks like the last of
the strawberries are gone.
472
00:18:31,621 --> 00:18:34,889
All right. Let's see. Look,
there's all kinds of juices.
473
00:18:34,891 --> 00:18:37,925
[josh] for the flavor run,
I use strawberries
and pineapple.
474
00:18:37,927 --> 00:18:39,827
You've got five,
475
00:18:39,829 --> 00:18:41,962
-four, three... All right.
-I'm done, I'm done.
476
00:18:41,964 --> 00:18:43,964
Mark. Three minutes.
477
00:18:43,966 --> 00:18:47,001
Hey, look. There's some okra
back there.
478
00:18:47,003 --> 00:18:48,702
If you make these judges
a nice snotty drink,
479
00:18:48,704 --> 00:18:50,337
they will love it.
480
00:18:53,643 --> 00:18:57,244
-How many peaches can I get?
-You can take those bushes
if you want them, boy.
481
00:19:02,985 --> 00:19:05,419
[tickle] mark has come up
with a plan.
482
00:19:05,421 --> 00:19:07,454
I see some peaches going
in the thumper.
483
00:19:13,162 --> 00:19:15,129
[tickle] what you looking
at there, mark.
Some preserves?
484
00:19:15,131 --> 00:19:16,897
You got some sugars?
485
00:19:16,899 --> 00:19:18,332
I believe that about
do it.
486
00:19:18,534 --> 00:19:20,134
All right fellers.
487
00:19:20,803 --> 00:19:24,104
Let's head back towards
these stills and see what
we can't get done. All right.
488
00:19:24,106 --> 00:19:25,272
Them peaches, any count?
489
00:19:25,274 --> 00:19:26,941
Hit 'em with a baseball bat.
490
00:19:26,943 --> 00:19:28,275
That ain't good.
491
00:19:35,718 --> 00:19:36,717
[digger] well boys.
492
00:19:36,986 --> 00:19:39,420
You got that farm stand visit
out of the way.
493
00:19:40,256 --> 00:19:42,323
Time to make us some
tasty liquor.
494
00:19:42,325 --> 00:19:43,090
Your choice.
495
00:19:43,092 --> 00:19:45,926
Hope you got everything
you want.
496
00:19:45,928 --> 00:19:48,028
You got four hours,
your time starts...
497
00:19:48,030 --> 00:19:50,331
Now. Good luck, boys.
498
00:20:08,150 --> 00:20:11,185
-Mark, you making
some peach cobbler.
-Yeah.
499
00:20:16,859 --> 00:20:18,192
Who'll blowed him up?
500
00:20:22,098 --> 00:20:23,030
[mark] oh yeah, look at that.
501
00:20:23,032 --> 00:20:25,132
That will be good enough.
502
00:20:25,134 --> 00:20:26,533
Mike, what are you,
doing over here.
503
00:20:26,535 --> 00:20:28,068
Crushing my strawberries.
504
00:20:28,070 --> 00:20:30,237
I don't know if he's praying
or what he's doing there.
505
00:20:30,239 --> 00:20:32,172
Trying to get it...
Bring it flavor.
506
00:20:32,174 --> 00:20:34,675
Put a little cherry,
a little lime juice to
go along with it.
507
00:20:34,677 --> 00:20:35,743
Trying to infuse this run
508
00:20:35,745 --> 00:20:39,980
and make a strawberry-cherry
limeade, so to speak.
509
00:20:41,717 --> 00:20:44,618
[digger] I see in the future,
you're fixing to lose
another digit.
510
00:20:44,620 --> 00:20:46,220
-[laughs]
-[josh] I know I'm good
511
00:20:46,222 --> 00:20:48,956
at throwing recipes together
on the fly.
512
00:20:48,958 --> 00:20:50,724
[digger] josh has
got pineapple,
513
00:20:50,726 --> 00:20:51,692
strawberry, cherry.
514
00:20:51,694 --> 00:20:55,062
-So you gonna hang a bag
in the still?
-Yeah.
515
00:20:55,064 --> 00:20:58,499
Somehow or another,
I always pop out with
a good jar of liquor.
516
00:20:59,969 --> 00:21:01,302
That right there is
off the chain.
517
00:21:01,304 --> 00:21:03,070
You've got three hours left.
518
00:21:03,906 --> 00:21:05,272
Here we go.
519
00:21:08,311 --> 00:21:09,276
Here we go, boy.
520
00:21:09,779 --> 00:21:10,978
Mikey.
521
00:21:11,180 --> 00:21:13,681
Now you ain't got a little bit
cocky on that win, have you?
522
00:21:13,683 --> 00:21:16,016
No. The only thing I can do
is try to do my best.
523
00:21:16,018 --> 00:21:19,653
Infuse my thumper
with that strawberries,
524
00:21:19,655 --> 00:21:20,821
cherries, little bit
of lime juice.
525
00:21:20,823 --> 00:21:22,856
Then I believe
you got it going on.
526
00:21:22,858 --> 00:21:25,025
Maybe some of the flavor
will transfer over
in that clear jar.
527
00:21:25,027 --> 00:21:27,995
You got to be careful,
all that cherry
and strawberry stain.
528
00:21:27,997 --> 00:21:30,130
When that stuff runs out
on the floor, we don't know
529
00:21:30,132 --> 00:21:32,166
whether josh is bleeding
or it came from the fruit.
530
00:21:32,168 --> 00:21:32,700
Tell me about it.
531
00:21:32,702 --> 00:21:35,169
Well, carry on, brother.
532
00:21:35,171 --> 00:21:38,439
Josh-y, quit eating your gravy
you ain't going to have enough
to put in your liquor.
533
00:21:38,741 --> 00:21:39,873
It's so good.
534
00:21:39,875 --> 00:21:42,710
Listen. I put strawberries,
and pineapple,
535
00:21:42,712 --> 00:21:44,912
-yeah.
-And I let it hang
in the still here.
536
00:21:44,914 --> 00:21:45,946
So it's just kind of
carrying out
537
00:21:45,948 --> 00:21:48,649
maybe a little bit of
the essence over you know.
538
00:21:48,651 --> 00:21:50,784
And then, this is
what I'm going to flavor it
with, here.
539
00:21:50,786 --> 00:21:52,820
You can put some
sugar gel in there
540
00:21:52,822 --> 00:21:56,256
and can it it
something in jars,
if you quit eating it.
541
00:21:56,258 --> 00:21:57,991
You need me,
I'm right over there.
542
00:22:01,831 --> 00:22:03,330
Guys, two hours left.
543
00:22:03,866 --> 00:22:05,265
There we go. I'm running.
544
00:22:08,404 --> 00:22:09,670
Something ain't running.
545
00:22:09,672 --> 00:22:14,375
I never had so much heads
I can't even smell alcohol.
546
00:22:20,816 --> 00:22:23,016
Mine ain't
spitting out liquor,
it's spitting out water.
547
00:22:23,018 --> 00:22:26,754
-Straight [bleep] water.
-[mark] I don't see how.
548
00:22:26,756 --> 00:22:29,990
I swear, it ain't have
a bit of damn alcohol.
549
00:22:29,992 --> 00:22:32,259
[mike] josh, did you put
all your jars in it?
550
00:22:32,261 --> 00:22:33,460
All your jars of alcohol?
551
00:22:33,963 --> 00:22:34,962
[josh] uh-huh.
552
00:22:35,264 --> 00:22:37,197
That weren't alcohol
in the five gallon bucket?
553
00:22:37,199 --> 00:22:38,332
It was water.
554
00:22:38,901 --> 00:22:40,234
[mike] oh, my god,
555
00:22:41,003 --> 00:22:43,003
you poured that five gallon
bucket of water
and not your jars?
556
00:22:43,005 --> 00:22:45,939
You didn't have
no liquor in your still.
557
00:22:45,941 --> 00:22:48,809
I thought they put the alcohol
in the five gallon bucket.
558
00:22:48,811 --> 00:22:49,810
I didn't put my moonshine in.
559
00:22:49,812 --> 00:22:52,012
So I wasn't running liquor.
560
00:22:52,014 --> 00:22:56,016
-[josh] I'm making twice
distilled water for them.
-[mark laughs]
561
00:22:56,018 --> 00:22:59,019
my competitions over.
I screwed up.
562
00:23:00,756 --> 00:23:02,890
-Josh, hey--
-this is some horse [bleep].
563
00:23:02,892 --> 00:23:04,491
-[mark laughs]
-just remain calm.
564
00:23:04,493 --> 00:23:05,893
Uncap your still.
565
00:23:05,895 --> 00:23:07,895
It's already hot.
Get your alcohol out here.
566
00:23:07,897 --> 00:23:09,062
Fire that damn thing back up.
567
00:23:09,064 --> 00:23:10,164
You're ready to go, man.
568
00:23:10,166 --> 00:23:12,166
It's all for nothing.
569
00:23:13,335 --> 00:23:14,802
It's all for nothing.
570
00:23:15,104 --> 00:23:17,771
[josh] when I realized
that I want running
off liquor, I was like,
571
00:23:17,773 --> 00:23:19,406
the hell with it.
572
00:23:19,742 --> 00:23:22,810
[mike] turn your fire off
till you pot.
573
00:23:22,812 --> 00:23:25,846
Here let me help you.
You ain't gonna be out of
this competition yet, brother.
574
00:23:25,848 --> 00:23:27,948
Mike was like, dude, just...
575
00:23:27,950 --> 00:23:30,050
What are you doing?
Just come back and damn...
576
00:23:30,052 --> 00:23:31,151
Run it. You're fine.
577
00:23:31,153 --> 00:23:32,019
We're still going to be good.
578
00:23:32,021 --> 00:23:33,520
So that's what I did.
579
00:23:34,123 --> 00:23:36,890
You've got a ton of
hot water in there.
580
00:23:36,892 --> 00:23:38,425
You don't have long
to heat that up.
581
00:23:38,427 --> 00:23:39,726
[josh howls]
582
00:23:39,728 --> 00:23:41,962
-[mike] don't quit on us now,
josh owens.
-[josh] goddamn.
583
00:23:41,964 --> 00:23:46,066
I am a mess. 24 hours a day,
I am a mess.
584
00:23:46,068 --> 00:23:50,170
But I'm pretty good at
pulling a rabbit out of
a hat because I live that way.
585
00:23:50,172 --> 00:23:52,172
It's either going
to work out or it ain't.
586
00:23:52,875 --> 00:23:54,508
-[fire whooshing]
-there you go.
587
00:23:54,743 --> 00:23:55,742
Back in business.
588
00:23:55,978 --> 00:23:58,278
One hour left guys.
Better be buttoning it up.
589
00:23:58,681 --> 00:23:59,813
What you been doing, mark?
590
00:23:59,815 --> 00:24:02,015
-You got three jars?
-Three, a little three.
591
00:24:02,017 --> 00:24:04,518
-Okay.
-I've been running.
Little slow.
592
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:05,986
[tim] mark, you have peaches.
593
00:24:05,988 --> 00:24:07,387
Yup. Just straight peaches.
594
00:24:07,790 --> 00:24:09,223
It's already hot again.
595
00:24:09,225 --> 00:24:10,858
[mark] oh yeah.
You didn't collect--
596
00:24:10,860 --> 00:24:12,092
god almighty.
597
00:24:12,094 --> 00:24:14,127
Mike, tell me where you at,
at your run.
598
00:24:14,129 --> 00:24:15,963
I ended up running seven jars.
599
00:24:15,965 --> 00:24:17,498
I just played around with it.
600
00:24:17,500 --> 00:24:18,899
See where the flavors
would come,
601
00:24:18,901 --> 00:24:20,567
there's cherry,
strawberry and little lime.
602
00:24:20,569 --> 00:24:22,936
All right! Got liquor coming.
603
00:24:22,938 --> 00:24:26,206
Frick. It wasn't five minutes
and it was ready
to spit out liquor.
604
00:24:27,543 --> 00:24:31,011
I'm very, very happy with
what I've created here.
605
00:24:31,013 --> 00:24:33,981
It's a little more on
the cherry-flavored side
than the strawberry.
606
00:24:33,983 --> 00:24:35,949
But I'm going
to be okay with this.
607
00:24:35,951 --> 00:24:39,186
It's just lightly
rose-colored actually.
608
00:24:39,188 --> 00:24:40,621
But may not be like the best,
609
00:24:40,623 --> 00:24:44,024
so I've tried to infuse
the flavor into my liquor.
610
00:24:44,026 --> 00:24:46,960
And run the strawberries
and pineapple into the jar.
611
00:24:46,962 --> 00:24:48,128
It's pretty.
612
00:24:52,501 --> 00:24:55,102
Pretty, damn mean.
God almighty!
613
00:24:55,704 --> 00:24:57,004
Hoo!
614
00:24:57,006 --> 00:24:58,906
[mark] they stung my nose
for sure,
615
00:24:58,908 --> 00:25:01,808
-those strawberries
makes hot liquor.
-Yeah.
616
00:25:01,810 --> 00:25:03,277
-Really?
-You bet it.
617
00:25:04,013 --> 00:25:05,979
It's hot. Burn on it.
618
00:25:07,983 --> 00:25:10,050
Still 'bout 110.
619
00:25:12,087 --> 00:25:13,153
That's the jar.
620
00:25:15,124 --> 00:25:16,523
Oh yes, she's still high.
621
00:25:16,525 --> 00:25:18,025
130, 140.
622
00:25:18,027 --> 00:25:18,992
Think that's it, mike.
623
00:25:18,994 --> 00:25:20,761
That's it. I'm ready
to turn in.
624
00:25:20,763 --> 00:25:24,498
-Got your name on it.
Ready to rock, bro.
-[thud]
625
00:25:24,500 --> 00:25:27,901
you can head on to that
little sipping bar
and have a drink on me.
626
00:25:27,903 --> 00:25:28,735
All righty.
627
00:25:28,737 --> 00:25:30,037
15 minutes, boys.
628
00:25:30,039 --> 00:25:32,239
Get everything
buttoned up ready.
629
00:25:34,143 --> 00:25:36,343
Wow, number three
is hot, boys.
630
00:25:36,745 --> 00:25:37,911
Get 'em ready, mark.
631
00:25:37,913 --> 00:25:39,980
Yeah, that's as good
as I can run her, boy.
632
00:25:40,749 --> 00:25:42,316
That's a pretty jar of liquor.
633
00:25:42,318 --> 00:25:45,485
Chase on that out there
with mike. You have
your drink on me.
634
00:25:46,689 --> 00:25:48,488
Boys.
635
00:25:48,490 --> 00:25:51,658
-Y'all kicked my ass.
-How many jars of liquor
do you got?
636
00:25:51,660 --> 00:25:53,927
-Three.
-Well, you just need one.
637
00:25:53,929 --> 00:25:55,596
Yeah, I know. But I didn't
want to give you
my strongest one,
638
00:25:55,598 --> 00:25:57,130
'cause y'all complain.
639
00:25:57,132 --> 00:25:59,866
You heard of this little thing
we call tempering?
640
00:25:59,868 --> 00:26:02,369
You got spring water
over there that'll temper.
641
00:26:08,510 --> 00:26:10,177
God, all getting
mighty hotter.
642
00:26:10,179 --> 00:26:12,546
I cost myself
a little bit of time.
643
00:26:12,548 --> 00:26:13,880
And it did hurt me.
644
00:26:13,882 --> 00:26:17,150
Because I wasn't able to run
my run down
as far as I wanted to.
645
00:26:17,152 --> 00:26:20,787
You probably got 140 proof
liquor there, huh.
646
00:26:20,789 --> 00:26:22,222
[josh sighs]
647
00:26:22,224 --> 00:26:24,925
-that looks like
a pretty good bead.
-I don't like it.
648
00:26:24,927 --> 00:26:25,826
We might!
649
00:26:25,828 --> 00:26:27,160
You ain't going like it.
650
00:26:27,997 --> 00:26:30,797
-[thud]
-[digger] go get you
a drink on me.
651
00:26:30,799 --> 00:26:33,100
I don't need no drink.
I'm gonna have plenty.
652
00:26:33,102 --> 00:26:35,002
Well then, have them
give you water.
653
00:26:36,605 --> 00:26:38,839
Heavens to mackeltroy.
654
00:26:38,841 --> 00:26:40,874
-Here we go.
Start wherever you want to.
-So we got him.
655
00:26:40,876 --> 00:26:42,509
Let's get busy with it.
656
00:26:42,978 --> 00:26:44,978
-What the hell's this?
-Hey, hey, hey.
657
00:26:44,980 --> 00:26:47,347
I told y'all when I brought
these fellers back,
658
00:26:47,349 --> 00:26:50,150
I was coming back to taste
some of this stuff.
659
00:26:50,152 --> 00:26:52,419
So what do you do, walk around
carrying a chair with you
all the time?
660
00:26:52,855 --> 00:26:54,121
I had it ready.
661
00:26:54,990 --> 00:26:56,623
I'm not too happy
with this run.
662
00:26:56,625 --> 00:26:57,791
In my experience,
663
00:26:57,793 --> 00:26:59,826
it's just going to be toward
the end of your runoff
664
00:26:59,828 --> 00:27:01,261
before you start getting
any good flavors.
665
00:27:01,263 --> 00:27:03,030
I never made it there.
666
00:27:03,032 --> 00:27:04,665
This is josh's here.
667
00:27:04,667 --> 00:27:06,166
I think he drank
some of it too.
668
00:27:06,168 --> 00:27:08,568
I don't know.
Maybe that's all
he ended up with
669
00:27:08,570 --> 00:27:09,903
he thought was presentable.
670
00:27:09,905 --> 00:27:12,873
He even put a big old booger
right on the side, right here.
671
00:27:12,875 --> 00:27:14,975
Looks pretty clear
on the inside.
672
00:27:14,977 --> 00:27:15,942
Might be high proof.
673
00:27:15,944 --> 00:27:19,079
I never did peter all the way
down to my tails.
674
00:27:19,081 --> 00:27:20,714
So it's really pretty,
I just thought it was
675
00:27:20,716 --> 00:27:23,150
a little hotter than I thought
it should be.
676
00:27:23,152 --> 00:27:25,285
She's got a good nose to her.
677
00:27:25,287 --> 00:27:26,987
Well, it ain't bad.
678
00:27:27,890 --> 00:27:29,489
She's a touch fiery.
679
00:27:29,491 --> 00:27:31,525
Strawberry will make
really hot liquor.
680
00:27:31,994 --> 00:27:33,493
No, that ain't hot enough.
681
00:27:33,495 --> 00:27:35,762
But I don't find
no strawberry.
682
00:27:35,764 --> 00:27:39,933
Strawberry can be notoriously
hard to get to come through.
683
00:27:39,935 --> 00:27:42,836
I don't know if mine's
gonna pan out or not,
we'll see.
684
00:27:42,838 --> 00:27:44,104
Next. Mark's.
685
00:27:44,106 --> 00:27:46,006
Now that's a clear jar.
686
00:27:46,008 --> 00:27:47,741
-See you through that.
-I mean, yeah.
687
00:27:47,743 --> 00:27:49,076
I see all three of your wives.
688
00:27:49,078 --> 00:27:52,779
That's the romance.
Let's get to tasting
some liquor.
689
00:27:52,781 --> 00:27:54,948
My proof's going to be
a little bit high but...
690
00:27:54,950 --> 00:27:55,916
You'll taste peaches.
691
00:27:55,918 --> 00:27:58,552
-It's about 115.
-Yeah.
692
00:27:58,554 --> 00:28:01,822
She is a touch proofy.
But that's the way
mark likes it.
693
00:28:01,824 --> 00:28:04,124
I'm not getting a lot of peach
on the nose of it.
694
00:28:04,126 --> 00:28:05,892
Don't hardly have any smell.
695
00:28:05,894 --> 00:28:08,762
But it's got a great
peach flavor in it.
696
00:28:08,764 --> 00:28:09,596
[tim] but that's
a green peach.
697
00:28:09,598 --> 00:28:11,131
Those peaches not ripe.
698
00:28:11,133 --> 00:28:14,067
He had to cook his peaches
which he wouldn't normally
have done,
699
00:28:14,069 --> 00:28:15,068
if they'd have been ripe.
700
00:28:15,070 --> 00:28:16,903
If he was having to do that,
701
00:28:16,905 --> 00:28:19,039
he's pulled off
an amazing job.
702
00:28:19,041 --> 00:28:20,707
-If it'd have been
a ripe peach,
-oh my.
703
00:28:20,709 --> 00:28:23,009
He'd have brought
a whole lot more to the table.
704
00:28:23,011 --> 00:28:26,046
I'm going to proof it down
when we put our flavors in it,
you know.
705
00:28:26,048 --> 00:28:28,048
I'm afraid I left it
a little high.
706
00:28:28,050 --> 00:28:29,916
Don't know if that'll work out
for me or not...
707
00:28:29,918 --> 00:28:31,785
That was my idea.
708
00:28:31,787 --> 00:28:32,886
-There's little mikey's
-oh, mike's.
709
00:28:32,888 --> 00:28:35,355
Little mike. He's got
a good clear jar.
710
00:28:35,357 --> 00:28:37,958
Looking through this way,
I can stand to look
at mark ramsey.
711
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:38,992
[laughs]
712
00:28:38,994 --> 00:28:40,093
you can see him breaking fast.
713
00:28:40,095 --> 00:28:41,828
All right, proof is awaiting.
714
00:28:41,830 --> 00:28:43,897
Nothing less than 110
on the table.
715
00:28:43,899 --> 00:28:47,534
My end jar started getting
all that good flavor.
716
00:28:47,536 --> 00:28:49,703
My strawberries and cherries
and lime.
717
00:28:49,705 --> 00:28:52,172
-Yeah, I'm smelling
those cherries.
-Oh yeah.
718
00:28:53,142 --> 00:28:54,775
Ooh, I ain't mad
at that at all.
719
00:28:54,777 --> 00:28:56,910
He talked about
strawberries and lime.
720
00:28:56,912 --> 00:28:58,478
I'm getting more cherries,
I think.
721
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,014
Yeah. It's bored
on the palate.
722
00:29:01,016 --> 00:29:02,716
A lot of times when
you're playing with cherries,
723
00:29:02,718 --> 00:29:05,318
you get the cough
medicine taste.
724
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,187
-We don't get that.
-It's excellent liquor.
725
00:29:07,189 --> 00:29:09,156
For me. It don't outrun
the peach though.
726
00:29:09,158 --> 00:29:10,690
Every one of them
727
00:29:10,692 --> 00:29:13,760
can take their jars and pull
something phenomenal out.
728
00:29:13,762 --> 00:29:15,128
All three of them
are excellent.
729
00:29:15,130 --> 00:29:16,763
I'm having a tough time
between two of 'em.
730
00:29:16,765 --> 00:29:18,165
Oh, I like the cherry.
731
00:29:18,167 --> 00:29:20,667
-I like the cherry but I like
the peach too.
-I like the peach too.
732
00:29:20,669 --> 00:29:22,469
We may have a three-way
coin toss here.
733
00:29:22,471 --> 00:29:24,938
You have a three-sided
coin over there?
734
00:29:24,940 --> 00:29:27,240
You're the one man crooked
enough to have one of them
that I know of.
735
00:29:27,242 --> 00:29:28,408
[laughs]
736
00:29:29,745 --> 00:29:30,544
all right.
737
00:29:30,546 --> 00:29:32,279
I found 'em fellers
at your bar.
738
00:29:35,751 --> 00:29:38,685
[ramsey] all right, men.
We have tasted your liquor.
739
00:29:38,687 --> 00:29:41,721
Mikey, you liquor came in
easy on the nose.
740
00:29:41,723 --> 00:29:44,491
I think I got more
of a cherry note,
741
00:29:44,493 --> 00:29:46,126
than I did
the strawberry note.
742
00:29:46,128 --> 00:29:49,029
[tim] we talked about
the lime coming through but...
743
00:29:49,031 --> 00:29:50,163
We didn't get the lime.
744
00:29:50,165 --> 00:29:51,731
See I was actually
scared to put
745
00:29:51,733 --> 00:29:52,999
too much lime.
746
00:29:53,001 --> 00:29:55,368
Couldn't fine it in there
nowhere but,
747
00:29:55,370 --> 00:29:57,137
it's still a good drink.
748
00:29:57,873 --> 00:29:59,206
Josh.
749
00:29:59,208 --> 00:30:01,875
D'you use strawberries?
All four of us,
750
00:30:01,877 --> 00:30:02,776
we couldn't find it.
751
00:30:02,778 --> 00:30:04,878
The little foofaraw
you had initially
752
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,247
I think you did use up
some of your...
753
00:30:07,249 --> 00:30:10,283
Your flavorings
on the water distillation.
754
00:30:10,853 --> 00:30:12,752
Markie, you did a fine job
755
00:30:12,754 --> 00:30:14,154
taking them rock hard peaches.
756
00:30:14,156 --> 00:30:16,189
Those things didn't have
no juice in them.
757
00:30:16,191 --> 00:30:21,761
Yeah, they had nothing.
But it's got peach flavor
in it like I wasn't expecting.
758
00:30:21,763 --> 00:30:23,697
Whoever wins this round,
759
00:30:23,699 --> 00:30:26,466
gets 30 minutes in
your next challenge.
760
00:30:26,468 --> 00:30:28,768
The two that don't win
this round,
761
00:30:28,770 --> 00:30:32,005
only gets 15 minutes to do it.
762
00:30:32,741 --> 00:30:35,075
Mark, you got the best jar
on the table.
763
00:30:35,077 --> 00:30:37,944
-Oh. Thank you. Thank you.
-[staggered clapping]
764
00:30:37,946 --> 00:30:40,013
-young haul being
hauled off.
-[laughs]
765
00:30:40,015 --> 00:30:41,047
not for long.
766
00:30:41,049 --> 00:30:42,849
Yeah, I fell a lot.
767
00:30:42,851 --> 00:30:44,885
-So use that 30 minutes.
-[laughs]
768
00:30:44,887 --> 00:30:47,954
the next step in your
challenge, is your flavoring.
769
00:30:47,956 --> 00:30:49,890
Polish up your flavored
corn liquor.
770
00:30:49,892 --> 00:30:51,758
Make it into something
771
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,028
that any master moonshiner
would want to sell.
772
00:30:55,030 --> 00:30:56,796
You're not being looked at
as clarity.
773
00:30:56,798 --> 00:30:59,699
Because you're going
to add something to it.
It's just, does it taste good.
774
00:30:59,701 --> 00:31:01,868
And mark, you get 30 minutes.
775
00:31:01,870 --> 00:31:04,371
And josh and mike,
only gets 15.
776
00:31:05,173 --> 00:31:08,408
All right boys.
Your time starts now.
777
00:31:12,714 --> 00:31:15,081
All righty.
778
00:31:20,756 --> 00:31:24,591
Josh, this ain't
no eating contest. Get us
some liquor blended up.
779
00:31:24,593 --> 00:31:26,459
-Man, that stuff is so good.
-He can't leave it alone.
780
00:31:26,461 --> 00:31:28,295
Talking about it's so good,
why don't you put it in a jar.
781
00:31:28,297 --> 00:31:31,264
He needs to put some of it
in a jar so we can have
a little of it.
782
00:31:31,266 --> 00:31:33,967
Problem is we're going to have
to drink some of it after he's
been spitting in it.
783
00:31:33,969 --> 00:31:36,102
Ah well, you know.
784
00:31:36,104 --> 00:31:39,873
Mike over here looks like
he's splitting the jar up.
785
00:31:39,875 --> 00:31:41,308
[tim] yeah. Blending
or something.
786
00:31:41,310 --> 00:31:44,844
Some of the judges says,
we really couldn't get
the strawberry through.
787
00:31:44,846 --> 00:31:48,381
Okay so these are
the extra strawberry puree
788
00:31:48,383 --> 00:31:50,083
will help kind of go
over the cherry
789
00:31:50,085 --> 00:31:51,017
just a little bit and
790
00:31:51,019 --> 00:31:52,986
will help balance out
the flavor.
791
00:31:52,988 --> 00:31:55,188
[mark] judges, they said
my liquor was the best.
792
00:31:55,190 --> 00:31:56,890
That made me feel good,
right there.
793
00:31:56,892 --> 00:31:57,924
When they told me that,
794
00:31:57,926 --> 00:32:00,694
I know I had a chance
to win that little still.
795
00:32:00,696 --> 00:32:05,165
I've got a whole bunch
of stuff in my basket
to flavor with.
796
00:32:05,167 --> 00:32:09,502
But I figure I could come out
better just staying
with straight peach.
797
00:32:11,606 --> 00:32:12,772
What markie done,
798
00:32:12,941 --> 00:32:15,041
-he's just shaking in
a little of that juice.
-Yeah.
799
00:32:15,043 --> 00:32:19,012
When I cooked them
peaches down, I saved a little
bit back to the side.
800
00:32:19,014 --> 00:32:21,348
And I figured I'd use that
to flavor with.
801
00:32:24,486 --> 00:32:27,087
Mark looks like he's taking
it pretty easy over here.
802
00:32:27,089 --> 00:32:30,757
-He's taking a drink,
that's what he's doing.
-He's taking a drink of it.
803
00:32:30,759 --> 00:32:32,892
Mark, sure enough way
to not win,
804
00:32:32,894 --> 00:32:33,994
is to drink all your liquor,
805
00:32:33,996 --> 00:32:35,061
and not turn none in.
806
00:32:35,063 --> 00:32:37,163
Well, that might happen.
807
00:32:37,165 --> 00:32:38,498
He might have a taste,
808
00:32:38,500 --> 00:32:40,800
and it's good now
and he'd just as soon drink
that jar of liquor
809
00:32:40,802 --> 00:32:41,634
instead of having
that little still.
810
00:32:41,636 --> 00:32:42,969
-You never know.
-He might, yeah.
811
00:32:42,971 --> 00:32:45,705
-I don't know, it'll look
awful good on the farm now.
-[laughs]
812
00:32:45,707 --> 00:32:47,240
-yeah, I'll tell you it would.
-It would.
813
00:32:47,242 --> 00:32:50,643
It'll look good on mine too.
If don't any of y'all win,
I might take it home.
814
00:32:50,645 --> 00:32:53,913
People made some
good-tasting liquor there,
I'm telling you.
815
00:32:53,915 --> 00:32:56,116
Yup. Ain't much work for it
not to be.
816
00:32:56,118 --> 00:32:58,518
I'll tell you what,
it looks like everybody's
moving right along.
817
00:33:00,055 --> 00:33:02,088
[josh exclaims]
818
00:33:02,090 --> 00:33:03,857
[whistles]
819
00:33:03,859 --> 00:33:06,726
ah, dog, you can run
dead on that. [coughs]
820
00:33:06,728 --> 00:33:07,894
that ain't what I turned in.
821
00:33:07,896 --> 00:33:10,864
Well, you need to work with
the one you turned in.
822
00:33:10,866 --> 00:33:14,401
I screwed up the run, so
I feel like I had to [claps]
823
00:33:14,403 --> 00:33:15,969
stay at it as hard as I can.
824
00:33:15,971 --> 00:33:18,538
And try to infuse
the flavor into my liquor.
825
00:33:18,540 --> 00:33:20,840
Just when they may need
an energy drink.
826
00:33:20,842 --> 00:33:24,911
[josh] I used strawberries,
pineapples, and then...
Just a touch of sugar.
827
00:33:24,913 --> 00:33:26,446
[tickle] I don't know what
he's done.
828
00:33:27,716 --> 00:33:28,715
Getting ready to make
a smoothie.
829
00:33:28,717 --> 00:33:30,984
-I can see it coming.
-Yeah.
830
00:33:32,754 --> 00:33:34,954
-He keeps drinking
and spitting in it.
-Keep tasting it,
831
00:33:34,956 --> 00:33:37,023
he won't have
anything to turn in
neither.
832
00:33:37,959 --> 00:33:39,692
Well, he liked it.
833
00:33:39,694 --> 00:33:42,962
He ain't making that big,
mean, scary faces no more.
834
00:33:42,964 --> 00:33:44,664
But he knows
he's liking it better.
835
00:33:44,666 --> 00:33:48,068
Five minutes.
For them. Then you got
20 minutes.
836
00:33:48,770 --> 00:33:51,137
Josh, want to chill it out
for us?
837
00:33:51,139 --> 00:33:53,039
Cold liquor tastes way better
than hot liquor.
838
00:33:53,041 --> 00:33:54,808
I don't know what
mike's doing.
839
00:33:54,810 --> 00:33:56,242
He's getting ready to mess up.
840
00:33:56,778 --> 00:33:57,577
I'm very, very happy
841
00:33:57,579 --> 00:33:59,846
with what I've created here.
842
00:33:59,848 --> 00:34:02,816
But it's a little more on
the strawberry-cherry
flavor side,
843
00:34:02,818 --> 00:34:04,184
than the lime flavor.
844
00:34:04,186 --> 00:34:05,652
-What's he doing over them?
-He's got lemon.
845
00:34:05,654 --> 00:34:07,020
Or lime, I--
846
00:34:07,022 --> 00:34:09,022
[tim] oh, he getting ready
to mess up something.
847
00:34:09,958 --> 00:34:10,824
Ow!
848
00:34:10,826 --> 00:34:11,724
He cut his finger!
849
00:34:11,726 --> 00:34:12,792
[mike groans]
damn.
850
00:34:12,794 --> 00:34:15,829
-I don't want none
of that blood in there.
-Well...
851
00:34:15,831 --> 00:34:16,963
-He ain't going--
-I got cut myself a little.
852
00:34:16,965 --> 00:34:18,832
[tim] going to get
a band aid. First aid.
853
00:34:18,834 --> 00:34:21,634
-Better go get it
stitched up quick.
-Medic!
854
00:34:21,636 --> 00:34:25,138
-One injury. That's one out.
-15 minute time limit.
855
00:34:25,140 --> 00:34:27,140
-That there's going to
be a nail in his coffin.
-His time...
856
00:34:27,142 --> 00:34:29,142
I need a band aid.
857
00:34:30,512 --> 00:34:31,711
What do you think, tim smith?
858
00:34:31,713 --> 00:34:33,480
You know, mikey had
a little injury there.
859
00:34:33,482 --> 00:34:37,083
So it could have hampered
his blending profile.
860
00:34:37,085 --> 00:34:38,384
But then again,
it could have helped.
861
00:34:38,386 --> 00:34:40,019
You got less lime in it.
862
00:34:40,722 --> 00:34:42,088
Some of that lime's
in his finger now.
863
00:34:42,090 --> 00:34:43,723
Yeah, it went into his finger.
864
00:34:43,725 --> 00:34:46,025
I don't think he put
a whole lot of lime in it.
865
00:34:46,027 --> 00:34:46,993
You saying you
don't like lime?
866
00:34:46,995 --> 00:34:48,795
-No.
-Oh.
867
00:34:48,797 --> 00:34:51,030
They don't know all the things
I don't like.
868
00:34:51,032 --> 00:34:52,465
There's a lot of things
I don't like.
869
00:34:52,467 --> 00:34:53,566
-Yeah.
-[laughs]
870
00:34:53,568 --> 00:34:56,569
[tickle] yeah. I've worked
with tim smith a long time
871
00:34:56,571 --> 00:35:01,508
-and if you gonna please him,
it's gonna be right.
-[all laughing]
872
00:35:03,945 --> 00:35:06,513
-[mike] yeah, I cut myself
a little.
-[digger] medic!
873
00:35:06,515 --> 00:35:07,847
You better go and get it
stitched up quick.
874
00:35:07,849 --> 00:35:08,681
With the time limit
875
00:35:08,683 --> 00:35:11,518
that could be
a nail in his coffin.
876
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:15,788
[josh] I'll tell you what,
I've played hell
this entire contest.
877
00:35:15,790 --> 00:35:17,624
I may screw some things up.
878
00:35:17,626 --> 00:35:20,493
But somehow or another
I'm able to
879
00:35:20,495 --> 00:35:22,996
pull it off.
I did the flavor.
880
00:35:22,998 --> 00:35:25,098
And I have to say so myself
881
00:35:25,100 --> 00:35:27,000
it was absolutely excellent.
882
00:35:27,002 --> 00:35:28,001
Three minutes left, guys.
883
00:35:28,003 --> 00:35:30,403
Time to be putting
everything together.
884
00:35:32,107 --> 00:35:35,842
-Okay?
-All right. I'm back.
I'm back. I'm back.
885
00:35:35,844 --> 00:35:38,077
-No problem, bud.
-No problem, buster.
886
00:35:38,079 --> 00:35:39,579
-[all laughing]
-keep busting.
887
00:35:39,581 --> 00:35:43,783
[all laughing
and chattering]
888
00:35:43,785 --> 00:35:47,187
you never know
how you miss
a limb or a thumb
889
00:35:47,189 --> 00:35:49,122
until you ain't got it.
[laughs]
890
00:35:49,124 --> 00:35:51,424
I'm out of time.
This is my last chance.
891
00:35:51,893 --> 00:35:53,326
One minute fellers.
892
00:35:55,931 --> 00:35:59,032
Markie, you've got 16 minutes.
893
00:35:59,034 --> 00:36:00,767
[mark] a little bit of sugar.
894
00:36:00,769 --> 00:36:03,203
It looks to me like
they using that time
895
00:36:03,205 --> 00:36:04,170
to chill their jars up.
896
00:36:04,172 --> 00:36:06,072
I'm just trying to chill it
for you guys.
897
00:36:06,074 --> 00:36:08,975
-[digger] ten seconds.
-[taps]
898
00:36:10,845 --> 00:36:12,212
there's my jar done.
899
00:36:12,214 --> 00:36:13,780
-All right, mike.
-Best I could do.
900
00:36:13,782 --> 00:36:15,114
Fruit punch.
901
00:36:16,685 --> 00:36:20,520
-[clatters]
-[laughs]
902
00:36:20,522 --> 00:36:24,057
think mark's got his jar,
he's just going to drink on it
for that 15 minutes.
903
00:36:24,059 --> 00:36:25,992
[tickle] I know and I hope
he leaves us a little bit
to taste.
904
00:36:25,994 --> 00:36:28,161
If it had been real
ripe peaches,
905
00:36:28,163 --> 00:36:30,797
I wouldn't even have
to bring the flavor out.
906
00:36:30,799 --> 00:36:33,199
The only thing I can do,
is put some sugar in it.
907
00:36:33,702 --> 00:36:35,702
I tasted of it.
908
00:36:35,704 --> 00:36:39,105
I know that that'd be
the best flavor I could get
no matter what I'd done.
909
00:36:40,242 --> 00:36:43,509
Bet that thing will
be ice cold when
he brings it up here.
910
00:36:43,511 --> 00:36:45,078
-Mm-hm.
-[mark] taking my time,
911
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:46,679
I'm just going to make
some good, cold liquor.
912
00:36:46,681 --> 00:36:48,915
This is the best
I can do with it.
913
00:36:48,917 --> 00:36:51,818
Yeah, that's about as good
as I can make it,
I can't make it any better.
914
00:36:51,820 --> 00:36:55,388
-Well now, I like
the sound of that.
-[mark] I'm done.
915
00:36:57,158 --> 00:36:59,058
-Looks like we have
lemonade and fruit punch.
-I don't get it.
916
00:36:59,060 --> 00:37:01,761
Good luck! [laughs]
917
00:37:01,763 --> 00:37:03,263
it's like herding cats,
ain't it?
918
00:37:03,265 --> 00:37:05,498
It's like herding
toddlers and chickens.
919
00:37:05,500 --> 00:37:07,267
All at the same time.
920
00:37:08,003 --> 00:37:09,402
All right whisky pusher.
921
00:37:09,404 --> 00:37:10,837
Start dealing them.
922
00:37:10,839 --> 00:37:13,106
Let's start with
the fruity, fruity guy here.
923
00:37:13,108 --> 00:37:14,107
Fruity pebbles.
924
00:37:14,276 --> 00:37:15,508
Josh owens.
925
00:37:15,510 --> 00:37:16,175
The artiste.
926
00:37:16,177 --> 00:37:18,444
Master distiller, josh owens.
927
00:37:19,047 --> 00:37:21,014
He got a lot of stuff
in there.
928
00:37:21,816 --> 00:37:23,616
Primarily...
[laughing] strawberries.
929
00:37:23,618 --> 00:37:24,884
He likes strawberries.
930
00:37:24,886 --> 00:37:26,819
He's got pineapples
sitting in the bottom,
931
00:37:26,821 --> 00:37:28,655
strawberries floating
near the top.
932
00:37:28,657 --> 00:37:30,657
It almost looks like
a smoothie drink.
933
00:37:30,659 --> 00:37:33,026
Maybe josh wants us to
be healthy drunks.
934
00:37:33,028 --> 00:37:35,728
I don't make a habit out
of drinking pink liquor.
935
00:37:35,730 --> 00:37:38,698
-But I thought
it was awful nice.
-Yeah. It was pretty.
936
00:37:38,700 --> 00:37:40,333
-The ladies will like it.
-Yeah.
937
00:37:40,335 --> 00:37:42,902
If I could get it
to calm down a little bit.
938
00:37:42,904 --> 00:37:46,272
I'm going to go out on a limb
here and say it smells
like a strawberry.
939
00:37:46,274 --> 00:37:48,875
Yes sir. That'd be exactly
what it smells like.
940
00:37:48,877 --> 00:37:50,043
I'm tasting pineapple,
941
00:37:50,045 --> 00:37:51,110
I'm smelling pineapple.
942
00:37:51,112 --> 00:37:52,178
It's tropical.
943
00:37:52,180 --> 00:37:54,380
That's a great drink
right there.
944
00:37:54,382 --> 00:37:56,082
But she is a touch proof-y.
945
00:37:56,084 --> 00:37:57,850
Damn, it taste good though.
946
00:37:57,852 --> 00:37:59,052
Josh done good.
947
00:37:59,854 --> 00:38:01,187
Well we got mark's.
948
00:38:01,823 --> 00:38:03,256
Looks like he's all peach.
949
00:38:03,892 --> 00:38:04,557
Did you make yours sweet?
950
00:38:04,559 --> 00:38:06,492
It tastes peachy.
951
00:38:06,494 --> 00:38:09,829
My fruits be a little bit
high. Don't know if it'll work
out for me or not.
952
00:38:09,831 --> 00:38:11,731
The alcohols still
covering it up.
953
00:38:11,733 --> 00:38:13,833
Boys, you still smell
liquor in that.
954
00:38:13,835 --> 00:38:15,501
Yeah. They ain't no low proof
in that.
955
00:38:15,503 --> 00:38:17,937
Yeah, no, no
he still got a kick to it.
956
00:38:17,972 --> 00:38:19,038
Oh yeah.
957
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:20,139
That's hot, I'd say.
958
00:38:20,141 --> 00:38:23,142
-That's a liquor drink
right there, ain't it.
-Yeah.
959
00:38:23,144 --> 00:38:24,043
He added some more
peach to 'em.
960
00:38:24,045 --> 00:38:26,112
But he didn't add a whole lot.
961
00:38:26,114 --> 00:38:28,581
Fact that he got
a green peach to...
962
00:38:28,583 --> 00:38:29,982
Taste that good,
963
00:38:29,984 --> 00:38:31,718
-mm-hm.
-That says something
right there.
964
00:38:31,720 --> 00:38:33,920
Yeah. I like it.
965
00:38:33,922 --> 00:38:35,655
What's in that last
jar over there.
966
00:38:35,657 --> 00:38:37,323
It look like fruit punch.
967
00:38:37,325 --> 00:38:39,225
Well, let's see
what she tastes like.
968
00:38:39,227 --> 00:38:41,994
He was aiming for cherry
and doggone if he didn't
nail it by the look of it.
969
00:38:41,996 --> 00:38:43,896
It looks pretty thick.
970
00:38:43,898 --> 00:38:46,099
After that good ounce of blood
that went in there.
971
00:38:46,101 --> 00:38:48,034
That's what got it
good and red.
972
00:38:48,036 --> 00:38:49,869
-[laughs]
-after he split that thumb.
973
00:38:49,871 --> 00:38:51,504
Boy, it smells different.
974
00:38:51,506 --> 00:38:53,406
Smells like a fruit punch
to me.
975
00:38:53,408 --> 00:38:56,843
It not only looks that way,
it smells that way.
976
00:38:56,845 --> 00:39:00,780
You know in my proof,
I'm blended a couple of my
jars along with the flavor of
977
00:39:00,782 --> 00:39:02,749
my strawberries,
cherries and lime.
978
00:39:02,751 --> 00:39:06,252
Well I'll tell you, his lime
did not overpower.
979
00:39:06,254 --> 00:39:08,955
That's because he cut his
thumb off before
he could squeeze it.
980
00:39:08,957 --> 00:39:10,523
It was really good before.
981
00:39:11,092 --> 00:39:13,192
It's a different
taste profile now.
982
00:39:13,194 --> 00:39:15,695
He influenced it
a little bit more.
983
00:39:15,697 --> 00:39:17,563
There's too much concentrate.
984
00:39:17,565 --> 00:39:19,766
I think the strawberry puree--
985
00:39:19,768 --> 00:39:23,836
that strawberry puree
has no place in that drink.
986
00:39:23,838 --> 00:39:25,304
[tim] throwing
extra strawberries,
987
00:39:25,306 --> 00:39:26,539
into the cherry mix,
988
00:39:26,541 --> 00:39:28,341
and lime juice,
989
00:39:28,343 --> 00:39:31,911
it kind of killed the cherry
in there. Now it's almost
like cough medicine.
990
00:39:31,913 --> 00:39:33,913
-Still got plenty of
alcohol in it.
-Yeah, he does.
991
00:39:33,915 --> 00:39:34,947
It's a good drink.
992
00:39:34,949 --> 00:39:37,817
If that was put in
a slushie machine,
993
00:39:37,819 --> 00:39:40,953
-that would be
something fantastic.
-It'll be really good.
994
00:39:40,955 --> 00:39:43,923
It don't matter who wins
or loses, just sit
and play the game.
995
00:39:43,925 --> 00:39:45,925
We play the game,
we're all winners.
996
00:39:45,927 --> 00:39:48,127
And that's what
every loser says, ain't it.
997
00:39:48,129 --> 00:39:49,829
-[all laugh]
-every time.
998
00:39:49,831 --> 00:39:51,431
Every time.
999
00:39:51,433 --> 00:39:53,499
All right. Well I found
these fellers.
1000
00:39:53,501 --> 00:39:56,302
-Oh okay.
-Well they're following you,
evidently you did.
1001
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,441
Everybody here
did a great job.
1002
00:40:01,443 --> 00:40:05,077
[tim] mike, yours was
really good before,
for your flavor run.
1003
00:40:05,079 --> 00:40:07,914
Cherry and the proof
was right on the money.
1004
00:40:07,916 --> 00:40:11,851
But it did turn into
a more of a fruit punch,
I feel like.
1005
00:40:11,853 --> 00:40:12,752
[ramsey] good liquor.
1006
00:40:12,754 --> 00:40:14,854
But I think you tried so hard,
1007
00:40:14,856 --> 00:40:18,891
you over enhanced
the strawberry flavor.
1008
00:40:18,893 --> 00:40:22,562
Josh man,
you had a little
foofa on your flavor run.
1009
00:40:22,564 --> 00:40:23,963
But all in all,
1010
00:40:23,965 --> 00:40:27,767
you've come through with
a real, decent jar of liquor.
1011
00:40:27,769 --> 00:40:30,102
You enhanced it properly
with the fruit.
1012
00:40:30,104 --> 00:40:33,072
But your proof is very high.
1013
00:40:34,209 --> 00:40:38,311
Mark, even though you know
you didn't have a good peach
to work with,
1014
00:40:38,313 --> 00:40:40,513
-you worked with it.
-Cooking your peaches.
1015
00:40:40,515 --> 00:40:42,782
You flavored
your base liquor. That's what
brought you through.
1016
00:40:42,784 --> 00:40:46,752
And it's got
peach flavoring in it,
like I wasn't expecting.
1017
00:40:46,754 --> 00:40:49,689
But I think if you'd
proofed it down
a little better,
1018
00:40:49,691 --> 00:40:52,725
your flavors would have come
to the front a little bit.
1019
00:40:52,727 --> 00:40:54,694
But all in all, everybody
did a wonderful job.
1020
00:40:54,696 --> 00:40:56,162
Congratulations to all of you.
1021
00:40:56,164 --> 00:41:01,334
So this prize over here,
is a functioning still,
is going home...
1022
00:41:03,638 --> 00:41:04,670
With mark rogers.
1023
00:41:04,672 --> 00:41:06,973
-[clapping]
-congratulations, brother.
1024
00:41:06,975 --> 00:41:08,741
I know that look good
over the fireplace.
1025
00:41:08,743 --> 00:41:09,942
-But I thank you.
-There you go, mark.
1026
00:41:09,944 --> 00:41:12,178
-I sure thank you.
-[all] congratulations,
brother.
1027
00:41:12,180 --> 00:41:15,147
-It's pretty little rig,
ain't she?
-Yes, it is.
1028
00:41:15,149 --> 00:41:16,148
I got her, boy.
1029
00:41:16,150 --> 00:41:19,118
Got my little still to put
over at the farmhouse.
1030
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:23,089
Outstanding job, guys.
All of you guys,
outstanding job.
1031
00:41:23,091 --> 00:41:24,824
Let's scatter on
out of here and we'll take
care of you.
1032
00:41:24,826 --> 00:41:27,059
-All right.
-Sounds good, fellers.
1033
00:41:27,061 --> 00:41:29,262
-Hey, I know where
the bars at. Follow me.
-Yeah boy.
